'''{{nihongo|Eri Kisaki|妃英理|Kisaki Eri}}''', known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the english Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Eri and her childhood friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]].]]
The legally separated wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her.

Eri and Kogoro, like Shinichi and Ran, had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro commented (perhaps rightfully) to be completely horrible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession.

In high school, Eri and her schoolmate and close friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]], were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" pagaent, and were tied in the number of votes, due to the lateness of Kogoro.<ref name=Alike>[[Alike Princesses|Episode 333-334: Alike Princesses]]</ref> He had forgotten to vote, and by the time he had come to vote, it was too late.<ref name=Alike /> It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, he thought that the "Miss" meant "mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to her anger later on.<ref name=Alike />

== Personality ==
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee /><ref name=LoveOf /><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike /> However, even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee />
[[Image:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Eri's cat, Goro, whom she named after [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].]]

Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning, and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She has a cat, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Blue Russian Blue] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf /> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].

Eri is highly intelligent and has a sharp eye for details. She has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.<ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect /> She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri was a little suspicious of Conan, but later just concludes that he is a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows.<ref name=Suspect /> Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee />

==Plot overview==
===Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki===
Her worrying about the Goro has once caused a big misunderstanding with Ran, thinking that a veternarian was trying to go out with Eri when he was only trying to help her cat (although it is shown in the end that he was really hoping to get involved with her).<ref name=LoveOf>[[Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref>

== Relationships ==
===Kogoro Mouri===
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him, and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref>

In ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]'', Eri and Kogoro are shown having a great time eating dinner, but it ends when Kogoro looks out the window and sees the very attractive owner of the bar that he visits.<ref name=target /> This makes Eri turn angry and act how she normally acts to Kogoro. In the two-part episode, ''[[Scuba Diving Murder Case]]'', Eri accidentally loses her wedding ring on the beach, but pretends to have left it at home to see if Kogoro noticed.<ref name=scuba /> She gets visibly angry when Kogoro doesn't appear to notice it, especially when he leaves their lunch early to go back to the beach.<ref name=scuba /> Later, it is discovered that Kogoro had always known that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring, and had gone back to the beach to look for it.<ref name=scuba /> This left a visibly shocked Eri to drive home speechless, but pleased.<ref name=scuba />

In another episode, Eri actually captures a confession from Kogoro saying that he misses her and wishes she would come back to him on a minidisc, replaying it over and over again afterwards.<ref name=Suspect /> However, even though they both miss each other, both of them still pretend not to care, and even become incredibly nasty to each other.<ref name=scuba /> Kogoro even goes on the opposing side of a case that Eri is working on, in a plan done by Reika Kujo to try and get under Eri's skin.<ref name=Battle>[[Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro|Episode 264-265: Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro]]</ref> However, her plan fails, as Kogoro's testimony is able to help out Eri's case instead of Reika's.<ref name=Battle />

'''{{nihongo|Conan Edogawa|江戸川コナン|Edogawa Konan}}''' is the alias used by [[Shinichi Kudo]] in his shrunken form. Indeed, he took the appearance of a 7 year old boy after being forced to swallow a poison, a prototype called [[APTX 4869]], by two men in black later revealed to be members of the [[Black Organization]].<ref name="episode1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]]</ref> Besides his changed appearance, the poison did not inflict any other damage and therefore he still has the brain and mind of an adult. He's able to use his gifted powers of deduction to solve cases and eventually close in on the Black Organization in the hope of finding an antidote to the APTX 4869.

Conan is often treated as a separate character from Shinichi by fans, and often viewed as the main character of the series while Shinichi is viewed as a recurring character. He has become a popular figure in Japan and even appeared at numerous occasions in different anime series (i.e. mainly cameo appearances) as well as other medias.

== Background ==

''Conan Edogawa'' is [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s alter ego. He did not exist prior to the chain of events, involving members of the [[Black Organization]], that led [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] to transform back into a child.

=== The Transformation ===

[[Image:APTX 4869 given to Shinichi.jpg|thumb|left|140px|Shinichi being poisoned.]]
At the beginning of the series, [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] brings his friend [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to [[Setting#Tropical_Land|Tropical Land]], a local theme park, to celebrate her victory in the Metropolitan Karate Championships. He later ends up solving a murder case there.<ref name="episode1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]].</ref> As they are leaving, Shinichi witnesses a suspicious exchange between an unknown man and a man in black in a secluded area just outside the park. As he leaves her to investigate, Ran feels like she's seeing Shinichi for the last time (which will happen to have been somewhat of a premonition). While spying on the suspicious men, Shinichi does not notice another man in black, who knocks him out from behind and forces him to swallow a new experimental poison known as [[APTX 4869]]. They then leave him to die. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurred. It shrinks his body back to that of his six-year-old self.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=1 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-07-15 |isbn=978-4091233714 |chapter=File 2 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|page=59 }}</ref> In desperation and confusion, Shinichi heads back to his house and runs into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Dr. Hiroshi Agasa]]. After a few attempts at proving he's in fact Shinichi, he finally succeeds in convincing the Professor. The latter warns him he must keep his identity secret as the [[Black Organization]] will kill him and others associated with him should they learn the truth.<ref name="episode2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>
{{clearleft}}

=== Taking a new identity ===

Shinichi comes up with the alias Conan Edogawa after [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Edogawa Rampo|'''''Edogawa''''' Rampo]] and pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's who places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="episode2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]]</ref> Ran's father [[Kogoro Mouri]], owns a Detective Agency which may allow him to run into a case involving the Black Organization.

=== Creation of the Detective Boys ===

He is enrolled at Teitan Elementary to further protect his identity and makes friends with [[Ayumi Yoshida]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya]], and [[Genta Kojima]], who create the ''[[Detective Boys]]'' not long after.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case| Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref>

[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|200px|thumb|Conan stuns Kogoro with his wristwatch, ready to solve a case!]]
=== Solving cases ===

As Conan, Shinichi helps Ran's father solve cases by putting him to sleep and simulating Kogoro's voice using the special bowtie gadget Dr. Agasa made for him. By solving cases one after the other, he helps build up Kogoro's reputation who will later on be referred to as "Sleeping Kogoro". He also spends a good amount of time with his Detective Boys fellows and solves many small cases with them and sometimes in the company of Dr. Agasa. In some situations, when there's only Ran, Sonoko and himself, he will target Sonoko instead to solve the case at hand. Because of that, Sonoko eventually becomes another rather well-known "sleeping" detective though it's within a much smaller circle (the investigation team and her friends).

== Appearance ==

Conan has black hair which mostly hangs downwards just above his blue eyes, but there are also a few strands that stick up at the front and back of his head. Conan's usual outfit consists of a blue suit jacket with a single button and a pair of shorts, even though he has taken to wearing more casual clothing as time goes on. He also wears a red bowtie and his dad's old glasses. Both these items were later specifically modified by Dr. Agasa to include a voice changer, microphone and homing device, to aid in Conan in his cases. His red runners have also been modified to harness electric and magnetic fields to stimulate pressure points on Conan's foot, greatly enhancing his kicking power.

== Plot overview ==
=== Initial pursuit ===
After Shinichi becomes Conan, he sets out to find the men in black almost immediately. At the suggestion of Agasa, he moves in with Ran and Kogoro, hoping that cases related to them come by. Pretty soon, a case involving a woman name [[Akemi Miyano]] (using the alias Masami Hirota) appears. Akemi robs a bank for the men in black in the hopes that they will free her sister from their organization. Conan is unable to realize the case's connection to the organization until after the men in black have shot Akemi and left her for dead for trying to double cross them. In her dying moments, Akemi warns Conan of the danger of the organization.<ref>[[Volume 2|Manga Chapters 13-16]]</ref>

Conan runs across the men in black again on a bullet train, this time learning their codenames: [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].

At a game convention, Conan meets a third man in black named [[Tequila]], only to have him killed in an explosion meant for someone else.

=== Introduction of Ai Haibara===

As the story progresses, Conan later befriends biochemist [[Ai Haibara]]. Ai Haibara grew up within the Black Organization and is a former member of it along with her sister.<ref name="Anitafirst">[[Volume_18#File_178_-_Code_Name_Sherry|Volume 18, File 178: Code Name Sherry]]</ref>

She is the creator of the APTX 4869 drug but took the drug in order to escape from the Black Organization. Conan has run into the Black Organization multiple times, but he fails in tracking them due to Gin's cleverness.

=== Meeting with the Organization ===

=== After Vermouth ===

=== The Phone Number of 'That Person' ===

After solving a case in a rich household, the culprit tells the phone number for the Leader of the Black Organization is the tune to the song of "[[Seven Children]]"

== Returning Back To Shinichi ==

=== The First Comeback ===

Throughout the series Conan has returned back to normal. First he temporary returns to normal after drinking alcohol while infected with a cold.<ref>[[Diplomat Murder Case|Episodes 48-49: Diplomat Murder Case]].</ref>
He quickly turns back into Conan after solving the case. The next time was after taking the prototype antidote for APTX 4869.

=== Antidote Prototype ===

After two days, the antidote wears off and he becomes Conan again.<ref>[[The Desperate Revival|Episodes 191-193: The Desperate Revival]].</ref><ref>[[Volume_26#File_256_-_Concealed_Truth|Volume 26, Files 3-7]]</ref> Much further into the series, Shinichi accidentally takes a prototype antidote for APTX 4896. The antidote wears off 24 hours later but he is given another one by Ai to keep his identity secret. After another four hours, he becomes Conan again.<ref>[[Volume 62#File_647_-_The_Lost_Memory|Volumes 62-63: Files 647-654]]</ref> Even farther into the manga during the london arc conan takes the antidote so he can go overseas, as his alias "conan edogawa" doesn't have a passport. He takes a spare one to avoid suspicion from ran, luckily he was able to get him a 3rd one for the return trip.

== Personality ==

As Conan, Shinichi tries to behave like a child. He refers to Ran as "Ran-neechan" (''nee-chan'' meaning older sister, a common nickname Japanese children give to teenagers and young adults they look up to), and refers to Shinichi as "Shinichi-niichan" (''nii-chan'' meaning older brother). He also refers to Kogoro as "Oji-san" or "Occhan" (both meaning Uncle), although he also does this as Shinichi. As Shinichi, he refers to Conan as usually "Conan-kun" or the "Kid in the Glasses". Shinichi treats Conan as a seperate person completely, thinking for example, "changing back into Conan".

[[File:Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.jpg|thumb|195px|left|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]
Conan remains very close to Ran, who in return is very protective of him. However, because Ran is unaware of his true identity, Conan often finds himself in awkward situations with her, such as when she confessed her feeling for Shinichi to him and when she made him bathe with her at a hot spring. Also, when Conan sees parts of Ran he not supposed to see, he has nosebleeds.

He will often speak in a child-like tone of voice when dealing with adults, but he often gets caught up in the current case and begins speaking like an adult and talk about things most children would be ignorant to. When this happens, he often tries to pass it off as "something [he] heard on TV". [[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|230px|right|Conan whispers to [[Officer Chiba|Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]] Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he talks about either subject in too much detail, he tries to escape suspicion by saying it was something Shinichi told him about. Although as the series has progressed the adults around him have become more used to his "being quite smart for a child", causing him to behave more like himself around them, he still tries to pass as a normal child. The only police officers with whom Conan can speak in a professional manner are the [[FBI]], especially [[Jodie Starling]], [[Shuichi Akai]], [[James Black]], and Inspector [[Kansuke Yamato]] of the Nagano Police, who all suspect that there is more to Conan than meets the eye.

Conan tends to act more like himself around the [[Detective Boys]], even to the point that they find it odd when he acts like a child around adults. He will often play games like baseball with the Detective Boys, but he is too used to soccer to perform well. He will even try using soccer techniques such as kicking in games that do not call for it. Because he is unfamiliar with popular games and TV shows, Genta and the others tend to think of him as dumb. This annoys Conan so much that he will secretly watch TV in the living room after Kogoro and Ran go to sleep to get more "practice" in.

It can be noted that Conan shows flexibility as the anime progresses. This is also mentioned in a non-canonical mention in Movie 13, when Ai remarks "Only Edogawa-kun and monkeys can climb a tree like that", and several other scenes.

== Appellations ==

Although most people will call Conan by his name suffixed with ''-kun'', or simply ''kid'', a lot of the characters have different ways of calling him due to the special relationships they share. The following is a list of the different appellations for Conan (and the ones Conan gives in return) encountered in the series.

== Relationships analysis ==

=== Family & Friends ===

[[File:Ran and Conan.jpg|thumb|Ran holding Conan.]]
* '''Ran Mouri'''
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
Conan and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share a brother/sister kind of relationship. He calls her Ran-neechan. Although Conan has yet to reveal his real identity to Ran, they do have a tight bond. They do a lot of activities together such as swimming, going to the movies or festivals, and more. It is even likely that Ran unconsciously knows that Conan actually ''is'' Shinichi, even though she seems reluctant to follow that notion.
{{clearright}}

[[File:Kogoro pulling Conan's ears.jpg|thumb|Kogoro pulling Conan's ears.]]
* '''Kogoro Mouri'''
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] often seems to find Conan to be a nuisance when around or on a case as Conan would often do or say unexpected things and act out of his own will just as much as a child would do (often done on purpose by Conan to look this way).
Although in most cases Conan merely sees Mouri as a drunk idiot, he often is impressed when Kogoro actually gets the case right, and will occasionally back off from the case when he sees that Kogoro is actually placing effort.
{{clearright}}

* '''His parents'''
Conan's parents, [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], like to push their child towards becoming an even better detective. They enjoy giving out challenges and sometimes without letting Conan know who's giving them: they disguised once to simulate a case and force Conan to discover their identities by his own means.

Yukiko loves to meddle in Conan's (and Shinichi's) love life as she will often make allusions such as Ran being her possible future daughter-in-law or Ai and Ayumi having feelings for Conan. He doesn't usually pay much attention to them.

Conan's mother helped him out once to keep his secret identity from being exposed to Ran by creating an alibi for him.
{{clearright}}

* '''Professor Agasa'''
[[image:Agasa_and_Conan_investigating.png|thumb|left|Conan investigates with Agasa.]] Conan treats [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] as a member of his own family, like an uncle. Due to the fact that they both share the secret behind Shinichi's transformation and knowledge about the Black Organization, Conan often comes to him when in trouble or seeking for help.

[[File:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|Heiji teasing Conan.]]
* '''Heiji Hattori'''

When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals. However, after discovering Conan's real identity, Heiji starts to act almost like an older brother towards him. Since then the two have become rather close friends, though Conan often seems to find Heiji more of an annoyance then anything, due to his dangerous habit of calling Conan 'Kudo' when others are present.
{{clearright}}

=== Detective Boys ===

[[File:Conan and Ai.jpg|thumb|Conan and Ai investigating]]
* '''Ai Haibara'''

{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}

Ai Haibara is the third girl that seems to have somewhat romantic feelings for Conan/Shinichi, although she never truly admits it. Indeed, it is a mystery just exactly what she feels for him, whether friendship or otherwise. Some people, such as [[Yukiko Kudo|Conan's Mother]] and [[Gin]], have stated that she has feelings for Conan. It could be said that, because of their almost equal level of intelligence as well as similarities in their pasts (i.e. both victims of the [[APTX 4869]]), she finds it easier to talk to him.
{{clearright}}

* '''Ayumi Yoshida'''

Conan grows to respect the little girl in his class for her sharp wit and observational skills, along with the other members of the [[Detective Boys]]. Although [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] clearly seems to like Conan, the latter does not return her feelings.

* '''Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya & Genta Kojima'''

[[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] sees Conan as a model, someone he looks up to. [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and more so Mitsuhiko, are often impressed by Conan's vast knowledge and incredible deduction skills.

They both become quite jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi shows gestures of affection towards him (usually a small kiss on the cheek). They would run after Conan shouting how "unfair" it is.

=== Law enforcement ===

* '''Police'''
With the exception of a few inspectors, most listen to the little clues that Conan points out. After a while, Conan gets the attention of the whole Tokyo police department for noticing things even pros miss.
* '''FBI'''
The FBI is one of the few minority that Conan acts normally around. Conan seems to place trust in the FBI, and occasionally help in their operations.
* '''Jodie Starling'''
* '''Shuichi Akai'''
Akai has been shown to respect Conan's detective skills. It may not take long before Akai figures out Conan and Shinichi are one and the same. Conan once says to Akai, "I'm glad you're an ally."

=== Black Organization ===

* '''Gin and Vodka'''
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's stopping their operations, [[Gin]] has been shown to be curious who "that guy" is, "that guy" being Conan. [[Gin]] has tried to catch a glimpse of Conan's face in a helicopter, but failed after Conan successfully downed the helicopter. Conan seems to have a very bitter hatred towards them, and this only increases as more people are targeted by the BO.
* '''Vermouth'''
[[Vermouth]] seems to has great personal interest in Conan, constantly calling him as the Black Organization 'Silver Bullet'. She also often protects Conan probably because when she was disguising as a serial killer in New York, she was saved by Conan (Shinichi at the time) and Ran. Conan does not, however, seems to react strongly when she is mentioned. He also seems to consider her less of a threat, and may or may not know that Vermouth knows his identity.

=== Others ===

* '''Kaitou Kid'''
Before being shrunk, Shinichi had encountered Kid once during the Clock Tower heist, though they did not meet face-to-face. In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi had become Conan, Kid disguised himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki Black Star pearl. When Conan cornered him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid suggested that he'd stolen all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ended up being a bluff, Conan was shocked and infuriated. In subsequent encounters between Kid and Conan, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid. In several instances he appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence; knowing Kid is close by often causes Conan to behave far more frenetically. However, in several instances, beginning with the "Big Adventure in the Eccentric Residence" case, when Kid does Conan/Shinichi a favor, such as saving Genta's life in the aforementioned case, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape unhindered.

In the movies, it is implied that Kid knows Conan's identity; he even helps Conan maintain his cover by disguising himself as Shinichi so that a suspicious Ran would stop suspecting Conan. However, this has not been confirmed by Gosho Aoyama, nor has it been implied in the manga.

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity. None of them have ever betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], Conan's parents, [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Ai Haibara]].

The 3rd, 8th and 14th movies also demonstrate that Kaito Kid apparently knows Conan's identity and acts to protect it. However, this has yet to be backed up by the original artist, Gosho Aoyama, in the manga or (as would follow) the anime main series. Since the Detective Conan movies appear totally independent of the story development in the anime series, it is assumed that Kaitou Kid does not actually know Conan's identity.

== Trivia ==

*Conan, although a terrible singer [[Image:Conan_singing.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Conan sings in the Karaoke.]], isn't tone deaf but actually has a perfect pitch. In Episode 11: The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, he knows that the piano is in tune and deciphers a message at the end just by listening to the notes that are played. Also in the twelfth Detective Conan movie [[Full Score of Fear]] Haibara-san directly described Shinichi Kudo as perfect-pitched at the last scenes.

*Conan's bad singing came to light as a joke after the anime began airing because Conan's voice actress [[Minami Takayama]] is also a singer. In [[Volume 15]] of the manga, Takayama herself is kidnapped and Conan, who sounds similar to her, tries to take her place at a concert. However, Conan learns that despite having similar voices, they sound completely different when it comes to singing.<ref>Manga Chapters 144~146: Two-Mix Kidnapping Case</ref>

*Despite Conan's inability to sing, Minami Takayama (his ''seiyu'') is a well known singer.

*The Japanese word 'konnan' (pronounced the same as 'Conan') means 'difficulty' or 'distress.'

*Conan has been noted to using the expression "Ah-le-le?", something that is usually said by Japanese gradeschoolers. The expression was even made by Mouri Kogoro in Episode 317 out of irritation to Conan.

*Gosho Aoyama (and Shinichi, in the story) got the name 'Conan Edogawa' from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the famous Sherlock Holmes stories, and Edogawa Ranpo, a Japanese mystery fiction writer.
**Fun fact: The author known as Edogawa Ranpo got this pen name from a transliteration of "Edgar Allan Poe." Pronouncing Poe's name in a Japanese accent sounds like 'Edogawa Ranpo.'

* Conan/Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share the same blood type.
