Eyacorkett: /* Detective Picture Book */

[[File:Volume 1.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The cover of the first volume released in Japan by Shogakukan on June 18, 1994.]]
The ''[[Detective Conan]]'' manga was first serialized in the fifth issue of ''[[Weekly Shōnen Sunday]]'' in 1994, written and drawn by [[Gosho Aoyama]], and has appeared there since. The first [[tankōbon]] was also published by [[Shogakukan]] on June 1994 with 9 chapters; it has spanned 100 published volumes as of September 10, 2024, and continues today. The manga has been highly popular in Japan; the tankōbon has received multiple first places in bestselling lists.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-07-25/japanese-comic-ranking-july-17-july-23|date=2007-07-25|accessdate=2008-06-10|publisher=Anime News Network|title=Japanese Comic Ranking (July 17-July 23)}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-10-31/japanese-comic-ranking-october-23-29|date=2007-10-31|accessdate=2008-06-10|publisher=Anime News Network|title=Japanese Comic Ranking (October 23-29)}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-04-10/japanese-comic-ranking-april-1-7|date=2008-04-10|accessdate=2008-06-10|publisher=Anime News Network|title=Japanese Comic Ranking (April 1-7)}}</ref> From volume 2 to 23, with the exception of volumes 5 and 21 with 11 chapters, each volume contained 10 chapters. From volume 24 to volume 104, with the exception of volumes 26-27, 37-38, 40, 48-54, and volume 83 with 10 chapters, each volume contained 11 chapters. Since volume 105, each volume contains 10 chapters.

[[Viz Media]] publishes the ''Case Closed'' manga in the United States and Canada, while [[Gollancz]] published the manga in the United Kingdom using Viz Media's English translation. However, the company stopped after 15 volumes, and now Viz handles UK distribution.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.orionbooks.co.uk/extras/Gollancz%20Paperback.pdf|accessdate=17 August 2008|publisher=Anime News Network|title=Gollancz Paperback catalogue}}</ref> Other than the adaptation of character names used in the anime version, there is no significant change between the English translations and the Japanese versions.

== Story summary ==
{{main|Characters}}
[[File:Conan Edogawa Profile.jpg|thumb|125px|Conan Edogawa]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] is a high school detective who sometimes works with police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is ambushed and incapacitated by a member of a crime syndicate known as the [[Black Organization]]. In an attempt to murder the young detective, they force-feed him a dangerous experimental drug. However, instead of killing him, it shrinks his body to the size of an elementary school child. Adopting the pseudonym [[Conan Edogawa]] and keeping his true identity a secret, Kudo lives with his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], who is a private detective. Throughout the series, he tags along on Kogoro's cases. Nonetheless, after Kudo solves one, he uses [[Agasa Hiroshi|Dr. Agasa]]'s hidden tranquilizer to sedate Kogoro and then uses a voice changer to simulate his voice to reveal the solution.

Kudo also enrolls in [[Teitan Elementary School]], where he makes friends with a group of classmates who form their own [[Detective Boys]] group. While he continues to dig deeper into the Black Organization, he frequently interacts with other characters, including his neighbor, Dr. Agasa; Ran's friend [[Sonoko Suzuki]]; a fellow teenage detective, [[Heiji Hattori]]; assorted police detectives from different regions; and a phantom thief called [[Kaito Kid]].

Kudo later encounters an elementary school transfer student, [[Ai Haibara]], who reveals herself to be a former member of the Black Organization under the code name Sherry and the creator of the experimental drug that shrunk him. She too ingested it to evade the pursuit of the organization. She soon joins the Junior Detectives. During a rare encounter with the Black Organization, Conan helps the FBI plant a CIA agent, [[Kir]], inside the Black Organization as a spy.

=== Internal rules ===
The world of ''Detective Conan'' has a set of [[Recurring Tropes|internal rules]] that might catch unfamiliar readers of the [[Manga|manga]] and spectators of the [[Anime|anime]] off guard, such as the [[Lack of Information Sharing|lack of information sharing]] and the regular [[Illogical and Irrational Behavior|illogical and irrational behavior]] exhibited by many characters. The universe is mostly consistent within its rules, with [[Oversights in Detective Conan|a few exceptions]]. The passing of time is difficult to judge, due to a literary device known as a [[wikipedia:floating timeline|floating timeline]], which enables the compression of 20+ years' worth of events and technological upgrades into less than one year.

== ''Case Closed'' ==
{{main|Detective Conan in English Western World}}

== Critical reception ==
=== Japan and other countries ===
The series has been well received in Japan, with the anime adaptation ranking in the top twenty in ''[[Magazines#Animage|Animage]]''{{'}}s polls between 1996 until 2000, where it dropped below the top twenty. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, ''Detective Conan'' often ranked the top six. It has even been used as a mascot to promote citizens to follow the law. The manga is a huge success and it is continued to be published. It won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category in 2000. Some of its volumes appear on the lists of best-selling manga.

The series is successful in Asia and Europe, where some countries translated most of the episodes and volumes. Due to the high popularity, the series has since been re-broadcasting in many countries after the original premieres.

=== United States ===
Although popular in many other countries, ''Case Closed'' was not as successful in the US. Many of its factors are most likely poor advertising, character name changes and script changes around Japanese characters and their culture. Despite their intention to make the series more accessible to general audience, the changes to more Westernized character names was very criticized. Due to this, [[FUNimation|Funimation Entertainment]]'s dubbed version of ''Case Closed'' was cancelled at only 123 episodes and 6 movies. Despite the fan requests to continue dubbing the anime, it didn't do well enough for FUNimation Entertainment to continue the dub until they lost the license rights of ''Case Closed'' in 2018.

The Bang Zoom! Entertainment and Studio Nano dubs were better received, as the original Japanese names would be intact and in higher-quality. However, the Macias Group dub was criticized for its low-quality dubbing, audio problems and only covering episodes 960-1010 rather than starting from the beginning or continuing where FUNimation left off.

Despite its failed ways to localize in the US, the series still had a cult-following over the years and it has grown to have a considerable fandom since. The manga would still released by VIZ Media, despite its low sales.<sup>''[citation needed]''</sup>

== Story summary ==
{{main|Characters}}
[[File:Conan Edogawa Profile.jpg|thumb|125px|Conan Edogawa]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] is a high school detective who sometimes works with police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is ambushed and incapacitated by a member of a crime syndicate known as the [[Black Organization]]. In an attempt to murder the young detective, they force-feed him a dangerous experimental drug. However, instead of killing him, it shrinks his body to the size of an elementary school child. Adopting the pseudonym [[Conan Edogawa]] and keeping his true identity a secret, Kudo lives with his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], who is a private detective. Throughout the series, he tags along on Kogoro's cases. Nonetheless, after Kudo solves one, he uses [[Agasa Hiroshi|Dr. Agasa]]'s hidden tranquilizer to sedate Kogoro and then uses a voice changer to simulate his voice to reveal the solution.

Kudo also enrolls in [[Teitan Elementary School]], where he makes friends with a group of classmates who form their own [[Detective Boys]] group. While he continues to dig deeper into the Black Organization, he frequently interacts with other characters, including his neighbor, Dr. Agasa; Ran's friend [[Sonoko Suzuki]]; a fellow teenage detective, [[Heiji Hattori]]; assorted police detectives from different regions; and a phantom thief called [[Kaito Kid]].

Kudo later encounters an elementary school transfer student, [[Ai Haibara]], who reveals herself to be a former member of the Black Organization under the code name Sherry and the creator of the experimental drug that shrunk him. She too ingested it to evade the pursuit of the organization. She soon joins the Junior Detectives. During a rare encounter with the Black Organization, Conan helps the FBI plant a CIA agent, [[Kir]], inside the Black Organization as a spy.

=== Internal rules ===
The world of ''Detective Conan'' has a set of [[Recurring Tropes|internal rules]] that might catch unfamiliar readers of the [[Manga|manga]] and spectators of the [[Anime|anime]] off guard, such as the [[Lack of Information Sharing|lack of information sharing]] and the regular [[Illogical and Irrational Behavior|illogical and irrational behavior]] exhibited by many characters. The universe is mostly consistent within its rules, with [[Oversights in Detective Conan|a few exceptions]]. The passing of time is difficult to judge, due to a literary device known as a [[wikipedia:floating timeline|floating timeline]], which enables the compression of 20+ years' worth of events and technological upgrades into less than one year.

{{main|Detective Conan in English Western World}}

== Critical reception ==
=== Japan and other countries ===
The series has been well received in Japan, with the anime adaptation ranking in the top twenty in ''[[Magazines#Animage|Animage]]''{{'}}s polls between 1996 until 2000, where it dropped below the top twenty. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, ''Detective Conan'' often ranked the top six. It has even been used as a mascot to promote citizens to follow the law. The manga is a huge success and it is continued to be published. It won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category in 2000. Some of its volumes appear on the lists of best-selling manga.

The series is successful in Asia and Europe, where some countries translated most of the episodes and volumes. Due to the high popularity, the series has since been re-broadcasting in many countries after the original premieres.

=== United States ===
Although popular in many other countries, ''Case Closed'' was not as successful in the US. Many of its factors are most likely poor advertising, character name changes and script changes around Japanese characters and their culture. Despite their intention to make the series more accessible to general audience, the changes to more Westernized character names was very criticized. Due to this, [[FUNimation|Funimation Entertainment]]'s dubbed version of ''Case Closed'' was cancelled at only 123 episodes and 6 movies. Despite the fan requests to continue dubbing the anime, it didn't do well enough for FUNimation Entertainment to continue the dub until they lost the license rights of ''Case Closed'' in 2018.

The Bang Zoom! Entertainment and Studio Nano dubs were better received, as the original Japanese names would be intact and in higher-quality. However, the Macias Group dub was criticized for its low-quality dubbing, audio problems and only covering episodes 960-1010 rather than starting from the beginning or continuing where FUNimation left off.

Despite its failed ways to localize in the US, the series still had a cult-following over the years and it has grown to have a considerable fandom since. The manga would still released by VIZ Media, despite its low sales.<sup>''[citation needed]''</sup>

Eyacorkett:

__NOTOC__
====Anime Original (AO) / Anime Exclusive ====
:Anime original content is anything that comes from content written by someone other than [[Gosho Aoyama]] as opposed to manga based episodes which are adapted from files written by him. The abbreviation '''AO''' is often used to refer to an episode whose screenplay is written by an outside author.

====[[APTX 4869]]====
[[File:APTX_4869.jpg|thumb|100px|APTX 4869]]
:Full name Apoptoxin 4869, it's an experimental drug created by [[Shiho Miyano]] for the [[Black Organization]].

====BO====
:[[Black Organization]].

====[[Canon]]====
:'''''Canon''''' is used to describe information that is considered "official" by a fictional universe's fan-base. Canon material from ''Detective Conan'' is only the information, storylines, settings, and characters found in the manga and information given by Gosho Aoyama in interviews.

==== [[Compilation series|Clip show]] ====
:A '''''clip show''''' is an episode mostly dedicated to showing flashbacks rather than original content. Clip shows in Detective Conan sometimes appear to recap what has happened so far before a film or the resolution of a major plot development. Example clip shows include ''[[Time Travel of the Silver Sky]]'' and ''[[Black History]]''.

====DL====
:Deputy Lieutenant.

====Dub====
:Dubbing is the process of re-recording and/or replacing voices of a video. This is most often done to air the show in another language. At a minimum, the original voice actors are replaced with native language actors, but sometimes the soundtrack, dialogue, and even whole scenes are replaced depending on what the licensing company sees fit to change. This can create disparity from the source work; the English language [[Funimation Entertainment]] dub, ''[[Detective Conan#Case Closed|Case Closed]]'', changed many of the character names.

====Floating timeline====
:''Main article: [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin/Internal rules in Detective Conan#Floating Timeline|Floating Timeline]]
A floating timeline occurs in a story where there is a mismatch between the ''[[canon]] progression of time'' (how much time the characters say has passed since a certain event) and the ''apparent progression of time'' according to the reader. ''Detective Conan'' keeps abreast of progressions in real world technology, and seasons and holidays match with their real world counterparts; however canonically less than a year has passed since Shinichi has shrunken into Conan.

====[[wikipedia:Golden Week (Japan)|Golden Week]]====
:{{nihongo|'''Golden Week'''|ゴールデンウィーク|Gōruden Wīku}}, also known as {{nihongo|'''Ōgata renkyū'''|大型連休|}} or {{nihongo|'''Ōgon shūkan'''|黄金週間|}}, is a Japanese term applied to the period containing a number of almost successive public holidays.

====Honorific====
:A word or expression with connotations conveying esteem or respect when used in addressing or referring to a person. In Japanese, honorifics are mandatory and pervasive, and signify the relationship between people using them. It is sometimes difficult to find an appropriate English equivalent that sounds natural, so they are sometimes left untranslated. For a list of honorifics and what they imply, [[Wikipedia:Japanese honorifics|please see Wikipedia]].

====Incertae sedis====
:Latin for "of uncertain placement", it means that the position of an individual within a hierarchy is unknown, unclear, on unconfirmed.

====Kanji====
:{{nihongo|'''Kanji'''|漢字}} are the Chinese characters that are used in the modern Japanese writing system along with hiragana (ひらがな, 平仮名), katakana (カタカナ, 片仮名), Indo Arabic numerals, and the occasional use of the Latin alphabet (known as the Romanization of Japanese, or "Rōmaji").

====''[[Paikaru]]''====
:'''''Paikaru''''' {{nihongo|'''''Paikaru'''''|パイカル}} (Chinese: {{lang|zh|[[wiktionary:白乾兒|白乾兒]]}}) is a type of [[wikipedia:Baijiu|Baijiu]], a Chinese distilled alcoholic beverage.

====[[Digital Remaster|Remaster]]====
:An older episode which has had the quality of its sound and/or picture enhanced. Sometimes various scenes are added, removed, or changed. When used in the Detective Conan fandom, it often implies that the weekly timeslot for Detective Conan is rerunning a remastered episode instead of showing new content. See [[:Category:Remastered episode|the category]] for a list of all remastered episodes.

====Romanization====
:A method of taking the Japanese written language and approximating it using the Latin alphabet so it is more readable to English speakers. There are many different styles of romanization. The output of romanization is called "Rōmaji".

====Seiyū====

[[File:Volume 1.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The cover of the first volume released in Japan by Shogakukan on June 18, 1994.]]
The ''[[Detective Conan]]'' manga was first serialized in the fifth issue of ''[[Weekly Shōnen Sunday]]'' in 1994, written and drawn by [[Gosho Aoyama]], and has appeared there since. The first [[tankōbon]] was also published by [[Shogakukan]] on June 1994 with 9 chapters; it has spanned 100 published volumes as of September 10, 2024, and continues today. The manga has been highly popular in Japan; the tankōbon has received multiple first places in bestselling lists.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-07-25/japanese-comic-ranking-july-17-july-23|date=2007-07-25|accessdate=2008-06-10|publisher=Anime News Network|title=Japanese Comic Ranking (July 17-July 23)}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-10-31/japanese-comic-ranking-october-23-29|date=2007-10-31|accessdate=2008-06-10|publisher=Anime News Network|title=Japanese Comic Ranking (October 23-29)}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-04-10/japanese-comic-ranking-april-1-7|date=2008-04-10|accessdate=2008-06-10|publisher=Anime News Network|title=Japanese Comic Ranking (April 1-7)}}</ref>. From volume 2 to 23, with the exception of volumes 5 and 21 with 11 chapters, each volume contained 10 chapters.

[[Viz Media]] publishes the ''Case Closed'' manga in the United States and Canada, while [[Gollancz]] published the manga in the United Kingdom using Viz Media's English translation. However, the company stopped after 15 volumes, and now Viz handles UK distribution.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.orionbooks.co.uk/extras/Gollancz%20Paperback.pdf|accessdate=17 August 2008|publisher=Anime News Network|title=Gollancz Paperback catalogue}}</ref> Other than the adaptation of character names used in the anime version, there is no significant change between the English translations and the Japanese versions.

__NOTOC__
====Anime Original (AO)/ Anime Exclusive ====
:Anime original content is anything that comes from content written by someone other than Gosho Aoyama as opposed to manga based episodes which are adapted from files written by [[Gosho Aoyama]]. The abbreviation '''AO''' is often used to refer to an episode whose screenplay is written by an outside author.

====[[APTX 4869]]====
[[File:APTX_4869.jpg|thumb|100px|APTX 4869]]
:Full name Apoptoxin 4869, it's an experimental drug created by [[Shiho Miyano]] for the [[Black Organization]]. See [[APTX 4869|main article]].

====BO====
:[[Black Organization]].

====[[Canon]]====
:'''''Canon''''' is used to describe information that is considered "official" by a fictional universe's fan-base. Canon material from Detective Conan is only the information, storylines, settings, and characters found in the manga and information given by Gosho Aoyama in interviews. See [[Canon|main article]].

==== [[Compilation series|Clip show]] ====
:A '''''clip show''''' is an episode mostly dedicated to showing flashbacks rather than original content. Clip shows in Detective Conan sometimes appear to recap what has happened so far before a film or the resolution of a major plot development. Example clip shows include [[Time Travel of the Silver Sky]] and [[Black History]].

====DL====
:Deputy Lieutenant.

====Dub====
:Dubbing is the process of re-recording and/or replacing voices of a video. This is most often done to air the show in another language. At a minimum, the original voice actors are replaced with native language actors, but sometimes the soundtrack, dialogue, and even whole scenes are replaced depending on what the licensing company sees fit to change. This can create disparity from the source work; the English language [[Funimation Entertainment]] dub, [[Detective Conan#Case Closed|Case Closed]], changed many of the character names.

====Floating timeline====
:''Main article: [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin/Internal rules in Detective Conan#Floating Timeline|Floating Timeline]]
A floating timeline occurs in a story where there is a mismatch between the ''[[canon]] progression of time'' (how much time the characters say has passed since a certain event) and the ''apparent progression of time'' according to the reader. Detective Conan keeps abreast of progressions in real world technology, and seasons and holidays match with their real world counterparts; however canonically less than a year has passed since Shinichi has shrunken into Conan.

====Golden Week====
:{{nihongo|'''Golden Week'''|ゴールデンウィーク|Gōruden Wīku}}, also known as {{nihongo|'''Ōgata renkyū'''|大型連休|}} or {{nihongo|'''Ōgon shūkan'''|黄金週間|}}, is a Japanese term applied to the period containing a number of almost successive public holidays. See [[wikipedia:Golden Week (Japan)|main article]].

====Honorific====
:A word or expression with connotations conveying esteem or respect when used in addressing or referring to a person. In Japanese, honorifics are mandatory and pervasive, and signify the relationship between people using them. It is sometimes difficult to find an appropriate English equivalent that sounds natural, so they are sometimes left untranslated. [[Wikipedia:Japanese honorifics|For a list of honorifics and what they imply please see Wikipedia]].

====Incertae sedis====
:Latin for "of uncertain placement", it means that the position of an individual within a hierarchy is unknown, unclear, on unconfirmed.

====Kanji====
:{{nihongo|'''Kanji'''|漢字}} are the Chinese characters that are used in the modern Japanese writing system along with hiragana (ひらがな, 平仮名), katakana (カタカナ, 片仮名), Indo Arabic numerals, and the occasional use of the Latin alphabet (known as the Romanization of Japanese, or "Rōmaji").

====''[[Paikaru]]''====
:'''''Paikaru''''' {{nihongo|'''''Paikaru'''''|パイカル}} (Chinese: {{lang|zh|[[wiktionary:白乾兒|白乾兒]]}}) is a type of [[wikipedia:Baijiu|Baijiu]], a Chinese distilled alcoholic beverage. See [[Paikaru|main article]].

====[[Digital Remaster|Remaster]]====
:An older episode which has had the quality of its sound and/or picture enhanced. Sometimes various scenes are added, removed, or changed. When used in the Detective Conan fandom, it often implies that the weekly timeslot for Detective Conan is rerunning a remastered episode instead of showing new content. See [[:Category:Remastered episode|the category]] for a list of all remastered episodes.

====Romanization====
:A method of taking the Japanese written language and approximating it using the Latin alphabet so it is more readable to English speakers. There are many different styles of romanization. The output of romanization is called "Rōmaji".

====Seiyū====
:{{nihongo|'''Seiyū'''|声優}} is Japanese for "voice actor".

====Spoiler====
:Any information that reveals major parts of a plot, mystery, or storyline event. Spoilers can refer both to information about unreleased or untranslated story events and to dramatic turn of events or resolutions. "Manga spoilers" is specifically any information that would spoil a person up to date with the manga (such as leaked pictures from an upcoming chapter), and "anime spoilers" will spoil someone up to date with the anime (such as information about manga chapters that haven't yet been released as episodes).

:In this wiki, individual anime episode pages and manga volume are spoiler free provided the reader/watcher is up to date with the episode/volume in question. Most other articles on the wiki, ''especially'' character articles, are kept up to date with the manga and will contain prominent manga and anime spoilers.

== Story summary ==
{{main|Characters}}
[[File:Conan Edogawa Profile.jpg|thumb|125px|Conan Edogawa]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] is a high school detective who sometimes works with police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is ambushed and incapacitated by a member of a crime syndicate known as the [[Black Organization]]. In an attempt to murder the young detective, they force-feed him a dangerous experimental drug. However, instead of killing him, it shrinks his body to the size of an elementary school child. Adopting the pseudonym [[Conan Edogawa]] and keeping his true identity a secret, Kudo lives with his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], who is a private detective. Throughout the series, he tags along on Kogoro's cases. Nonetheless, after Kudo solves one, he uses [[Agasa Hiroshi|Dr. Agasa]]'s hidden tranquilizer to sedate Kogoro and then uses a voice changer to simulate his voice to reveal the solution.

Kudo also enrolls in [[Teitan Elementary School]], where he makes friends with a group of classmates who form their own [[Detective Boys]] group. While he continues to dig deeper into the Black Organization, he frequently interacts with other characters, including his neighbor, Dr. Agasa; Ran's friend [[Sonoko Suzuki]]; a fellow teenage detective, [[Heiji Hattori]]; assorted police detectives from different regions; and a phantom thief called [[Kaito Kid]].

Kudo later encounters an elementary school transfer student, [[Ai Haibara]], who reveals herself to be a former member of the Black Organization under the code name Sherry and the creator of the experimental drug that shrunk him. She too ingested it to evade the pursuit of the organization. She soon joins the Junior Detectives. During a rare encounter with the Black Organization, Conan helps the FBI plant a CIA agent, [[Kir]], inside the Black Organization as a spy.

=== Internal rules ===
The world of ''Detective Conan'' has a set of [[Recurring Tropes|internal rules]] that might catch unfamiliar readers of the [[Manga|manga]] and spectators of the [[Anime|anime]] off guard, such as the [[Lack of Information Sharing|lack of information sharing]] and the regular [[Illogical and Irrational Behavior|illogical and irrational behavior]] exhibited by many characters. The universe is mostly consistent within its rules, with [[Oversights in Detective Conan|a few exceptions]]. The passing of time is difficult to judge, due to a literary device known as a [[wikipedia:floating timeline|floating timeline]], which enables the compression of 20+ years' worth of events and technological upgrades into less than one year.

== ''Case Closed'' ==
{{main|Detective Conan in English Western World}}

== Critical reception ==
=== Japan and other countries ===
The series has been well received in Japan, with the anime adaptation ranking in the top twenty in ''[[Magazines#Animage|Animage]]''{{'}}s polls between 1996 until 2000, where it dropped below the top twenty. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, ''Detective Conan'' often ranked the top six. It has even been used as a mascot to promote citizens to follow the law. The manga is a huge success and it is continued to be published. It won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category in 2000. Some of its volumes appear on the lists of best-selling manga.

The series is successful in Asia and Europe, where some countries translated most of the episodes and volumes. Due to the high popularity, the series has since been re-broadcasting in many countries after the original premieres.

=== United States ===
Although popular in many other countries, ''Case Closed'' was not as successful in the US. Many of its factors are most likely poor advertising, character name changes and script changes around Japanese characters and their culture. Despite their intention to make the series more accessible to general audience, the changes to more Westernized character names was very criticized. Due to this, [[FUNimation|Funimation Entertainment]]'s dubbed version of ''Case Closed'' was cancelled at only 123 episodes and 6 movies. Despite the fan requests to continue dubbing the anime, it didn't do well enough for FUNimation Entertainment to continue the dub until they lost the license rights of ''Case Closed'' in 2018.

The Bang Zoom! Entertainment and Studio Nano dubs were better received, as the original Japanese names would be intact and in higher-quality. However, the Macias Group dub was criticized for its low-quality dubbing, audio problems and only covering episodes 960-1010 rather than starting from the beginning or continuing where FUNimation left off.

Despite its failed ways to localize in the US, the series still had a cult-following over the years and it has grown to have a considerable fandom since. The manga would still released by VIZ Media, despite its low sales.<sup>''[citation needed]''</sup>

== Appearances in other media ==

Besides his anime and manga appearances, Conan is the protagonist for all the movies and the video games based on the Case Closed series. Several anime and games have parodied, lampooned or otherwise mentioned him or the series. Some of them include: ''[[wikipedia:Yakitate!! Japan|Yakitate!! Japan]]'',<ref>''[[wikipedia:Yakitate!!

(''[[wikipedia:Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney|Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney]]'')</ref>

In the case of ''Inuyasha'', ''Detective Conan'' features Conan reading the ''Inuyasha'' manga first in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|episode 200]] (aired July 24, 2000). Later, [[Shinichi]] and [[Ran]] made a [[wikipedia:cameo appearance|cameo appearance]] in ''Inuyasha'' episode 128 (aired October 13, 2003).

{{main|Characters}}
[[File:Conan Edogawa Profile.jpg|thumb|125px|Conan Edogawa]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] is a high school detective who sometimes works with police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is ambushed and incapacitated by a member of a crime syndicate known as the [[Black Organization]]. In an attempt to murder the young detective, they force-feed him a dangerous experimental drug. However, instead of killing him, it shrinks his body to the size of an elementary school child. Adopting the pseudonym [[Conan Edogawa]] and keeping his true identity a secret, Kudo lives with his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], who is a private detective. Throughout the series, he tags along on Kogoro's cases. Nonetheless, after Kudo solves one, he uses [[Agasa Hiroshi|Dr. Agasa]]'s hidden tranquilizer to sedate Kogoro and then uses a voice changer to simulate his voice to reveal the solution.

Kudo also enrolls in [[Teitan Elementary School]], where he makes friends with a group of classmates who form their own [[Detective Boys]] group. While he continues to dig deeper into the Black Organization, he frequently interacts with other characters, including his neighbor, Dr. Agasa; Ran's friend [[Sonoko Suzuki]]; a fellow teenage detective, [[Heiji Hattori]]; assorted police detectives from different regions; and a phantom thief called [[Kaito Kid]].

Kudo later encounters an elementary school transfer student, [[Ai Haibara]], who reveals herself to be a former member of the Black Organization under the code name Sherry and the creator of the experimental drug that shrunk him. She too ingested it to evade the pursuit of the organization. She soon joins the Junior Detectives. During a rare encounter with the Black Organization, Conan helps the FBI plant a CIA agent, [[Kir]], inside the Black Organization as a spy.

The world of ''Detective Conan'' has a set of [[Recurring Tropes|internal rules]] that might catch unfamiliar readers of the [[Manga|manga]] and spectators of the [[Anime|anime]] off guard, such as the [[Lack of Information Sharing|lack of information sharing]] and the regular [[Illogical and Irrational Behavior|illogical and irrational behavior]] exhibited by many characters. The universe is mostly consistent within its rules, with [[Oversights in Detective Conan|a few exceptions]]. The passing of time is difficult to judge, due to a literary device known as a [[wikipedia:floating timeline|floating timeline]], which enables the compression of 20+ years' worth of events and technological upgrades into less than one year.

{{main|Detective Conan in English Western World}}

== Critical reception ==
=== Japan and other countries ===
The series has been well received in Japan, with the anime adaptation ranking in the top twenty in ''[[Magazines#Animage|Animage]]''{{'}}s polls between 1996 until 2000, where it dropped below the top twenty. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, ''Detective Conan'' often ranked the top six. It has even been used as a mascot to promote citizens to follow the law. The manga is a huge success and it is continued to be published. It won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category in 2000. Some of its volumes appear on the lists of best-selling manga.

The series is successful in Asia and Europe, where some countries translated most of the episodes and volumes. Due to the high popularity, the series has since been re-broadcasting in many countries after the original premieres.

=== United States ===
Although popular in many other countries, ''Case Closed'' was not as successful in the US. Many of its factors are most likely poor advertising, character name changes and script changes around Japanese characters and their culture. Despite their intention to make the series more accessible to general audience, the changes to more Westernized character names was very criticized. Due to this, [[FUNimation|Funimation Entertainment]]'s dubbed version of ''Case Closed'' was cancelled at only 123 episodes and 6 movies. Despite the fan requests to continue dubbing the anime, it didn't do well enough for FUNimation Entertainment to continue the dub until they lost the license rights of ''Case Closed'' in 2018.

The Bang Zoom! Entertainment and Studio Nano dubs were better received, as the original Japanese names would be intact and in higher-quality. However, the Macias Group dub was criticized for its low-quality dubbing, audio problems and only covering episodes 960-1010 rather than starting from the beginning or continuing where FUNimation left off.

Despite its failed ways to localize in the US, the series still had a cult-following over the years and it has grown to have a considerable fandom since. The manga would still released by VIZ Media, despite its low sales.<small>[citation needed]</small>

== Appearances in other media ==

Besides his anime and manga appearances, Conan is the protagonist for all the movies and the video games based on the Case Closed series.

{{main|Detective Conan in English Western World}}

== Critical reception ==
=== Japan and other countries ===
The series has been well received in Japan, with the anime adaptation ranking in the top twenty in [[Magazines#Animage|Animage]]'s polls between 1996 until 2000, where it dropped below the top twenty. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, ''Detective Conan'' often ranked the top six. It has even been used as a mascot to promote citizens to follow the law. The manga is a huge success and it is continued to be published. It won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category in 2000. Some of its volumes appear on the lists of best-selling manga.

The series is successful in Asia and Europe, where some countries translated most of the episodes and volumes. Due to the high popularity, the series has since been re-broadcasting in many countries after the original premieres.

=== United States ===
Although popular in many other countries, ''Case Closed'' was not as successful in the US. Many of its factors are most likely poor advertising, character name changes and script changes around Japanese characters and their culture. Despite their intention to make the series more accessible to general audience, the changes to more Westernized character names was very criticized. Due to this, [[FUNimation|Funimation Entertainment]]'s dubbed version of ''Case Closed'' was cancelled at only 123 episodes and 6 movies. Despite the fan requests to continue dubbing the anime, it didn't do well enough for FUNimation Entertainment to continue the dub until they lost the license rights of ''Case Closed'' in 2018.

The Bang Zoom! Entertainment and Studio Nano dubs were better received, as the original Japanese names would be intact and in higher-quality. However, the Macias Group dub was criticized for its low-quality dubbing, audio problems and only covering episodes 960-1010 rather than starting from the beginning or continuing where FUNimation left off.

Despite its failed ways to localize in the US, the series still had a cult-following over the years and it has grown to have a considerable fandom since. The manga would still released by VIZ Media, despite its low sales.<small>[citation needed]</small>

== Appearances in other media ==

Besides his anime and manga appearances, Conan is the protagonist for all the movies and the video games based on the Case Closed series.

== Story summary ==
{{main|Characters}}
[[File:Conan Edogawa Profile.jpg|thumb|125px|Conan Edogawa]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] is a high school detective who sometimes works with police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is ambushed and incapacitated by a member of a crime syndicate known as the [[Black Organization]]. In an attempt to murder the young detective, they force-feed him a dangerous experimental drug. However, instead of killing him, it shrinks his body to the size of an elementary school child. Adopting the pseudonym [[Conan Edogawa]] and keeping his true identity a secret, Kudo lives with his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], who is a private detective. Throughout the series, he tags along on Kogoro's cases. Nonetheless, after Kudo solves one, he uses [[Agasa Hiroshi|Dr. Agasa]]'s hidden tranquilizer to sedate Kogoro and then uses a voice changer to simulate his voice to reveal the solution. He also enrolls in [[Teitan Elementary School]], where he makes friends with a group of classmates who form their own [[Detective Boys]] group. While he continues to dig deeper into the Black Organization, he frequently interacts with other characters, including his neighbor, Dr. Agasa; Ran's friend [[Sonoko Suzuki]]; a fellow teenage detective, [[Heiji Hattori]]; assorted police detectives from different regions; and a phantom thief called [[Kaito Kid]].

Kudo later encounters an elementary school transfer student, [[Ai Haibara]], who reveals herself to be a former member of the Black Organization under the code name Sherry and the creator of the experimental drug that shrunk him. She too ingested it to evade the pursuit of the organization. She soon joins the Junior Detectives. During a rare encounter with the Black Organization, Conan helps the FBI plant a CIA agent, [[Kir]], inside the Black Organization as a spy.

=== Internal rules ===
The world of ''Detective Conan'' has a set of [[Recurring Tropes|internal rules]] that might catch unfamiliar readers of the [[Manga|manga]] and spectators of the [[Anime|anime]] off guard, such as the [[Lack of Information Sharing|lack of information sharing]] and the regular [[Illogical and Irrational Behavior|illogical and irrational behavior]] exhibited by many characters. The universe is mostly consistent within its rules, with [[Oversights in Detective Conan|a few exceptions]]. The passing of time is difficult to judge, due to a literary device known as a floating timeline, which enables the compression of 20+ years worth of events and technological upgrades into less than one year.
