'''{{nihongo|Kazunobu Chiba|千葉和伸|Chiba Kazunobu}}''', commonly referred to as '''{{nihongo|Detective Chiba|千葉刑事|Chiba-keiji}}''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Chiba is a police detective of the [[Tokyo MPD|Metropolitan Police Department]]. He has short sassy hair and is one of the only overweight characters in the police department, which he is made a running gag of. He is introduced as a dubbing mistake in episode 138 in March 1999, after [[Chafurin]], who voices [[Juzo Megure]], says the name of his voice actor, Isshin Chiba, by mistake. He is introduced in the manga in September of the same year. Known to work alongside Megure and [[Wataru Takagi]], his appearances increased steadily, and he is frequently seen at the crime scenes of the cases. His duty is mainly to report information outside of the scene to his superiors, but he is also known to handle cases of his own. His girlfriend is [[Naeko Miike]], who works in the traffic department. He is also good friends with Wataru Takagi, and the only one to support him in his love with [[Miwako Sato]].

== Background ==
[[File:Young Chiba.PNG|thumb|left|200px|A young Chiba.]]
Initially, he was introduced with a minor cameo in the anime version of [[The Final Screening Murder Case]]. Like several other Anime Original characters, he was [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Category:Anime_to_manga_characters later introduced in the manga] and has taken on a larger role. In many of his early appearances he is depicted as rather average build, but later depicted as overweight. Chiba currently works in the Second violent crimes investigative division, section 3.<ref>Manga Chapter 792 page 4</ref> His duties usually consist of questioning non-suspect characters outside of the crime scene, and running evidence back to the lab as well as returning with the results. A majority of his appearances happen just over half way through a case where he returns to the crime scene with a vital clue needed to solve the case. He has a strong moral compass that usually puts the law above everything. If any one were to break the law they must be punished, even himself.

Chiba has an older brother who worked as an employee at a video rental store. Because of his job, the brother had to open the heads of VHS tapes to check if they had been rewound properly. Chiba has picked up knowledge of VHS tapes as well as this habit of opening their heads to check them.

Chiba attended [[Setting#Teitan Elementary School|Teitan Elementary School]], in the 20th graduating class, 2 classes below [[Sumiko Kobayashi]]. While still in elementary school he was a part of the broadcasting committee and was put in charge of making a mini-audio drama, which was successful. As a result, he tried to put together a short Tokusatsu (live action special effects) drama based on the [[Kamen Yaiba]] show he watched. With the help of fellow classmate [[Naeko Miike]] rallying the other members, he was able to complete it. He began to suspect that she may like him so he wrote her a love letter, which she responded to by saying that there was a hidden message left in the video room with her answer. Her family then moved away and Chiba was unable to find her answer.

In the present day, he returned to the school and with the help of the [[Detective Boys]] found her response. It was something that only Chiba would have been likely to find because since childhood, he has a tendency to sweat often. Recently Naeko, who joined the police force because of Chiba, has transferred to Tokyo as a patrol woman who works with [[Yumi Miyamoto]]. However, Chiba doesn't seem to recognize her despite having several chances to do so. After realizing that Chiba doesn't recognize her, Naeko has been trying to keep it a secret until he realizes it for himself.<ref name=Naeko>Manga Chapters 741~742: The VHS of Memory Case</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Chiba can be serious, but he is shown to be a mostly light-hearted officer. He loves to eat and is sometimes shown stuffing his face, usually with burgers and sodas, but usually this is merely done for comic effect. Chiba can be very supportive, and is a big help, especially for using his size to catch criminals. He, as well as [[Yumi Miyamoto]], is very supportive for [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]]'s relationship and feelings for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]], and is one of the few officers in the Tokyo district to not get involved in [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Shiratori]]'s schemes to get the couple to break up.

A very notable trait of Chiba praised by his colleagues in Law Enforcement is that he would always follow and uphold the law no matter what the circumstances are, especially when it is he who breaks it. This is one of the main reasons why Naeko liked him in the first place; it was because he scolded her over a traffic violation, saying that doing the wrong thing will develop into a habit that's hard to get rid of. This event also inspired Naeko to join the Police Force as a traffic cop.

He has been a huge fan of ''tokusatsu'' shows like ''[[Kamen Yaiba]]'' and ''[[Gomera]]'' for a long time, and was a member of the broadcasting committee at his elementary school. For a project, he and the other club members made a tokusatsu film called ''Kamen Baiya''. Since then his enjoyment tokusatsu has grown and his apartment seems to be covered in figurines based on the characters.

Chiba seems to be very knowledgeable about Betamax tapes He has a habit of checking VHS tapes to see if they were rewound. He believes he picked this habit up from his older brother.<ref name=Naeko></ref>

=== [[Naeko Miike]] ===
{{main|Kazunobu Chiba and Naeko Miike}}
Chiba and [[Naeko Miike|Naeko]] were childhood friends and attended Teitan Elementary together where they both joined the school broadcasting committee (although Naeko only joined because Chiba did). One time Naeko tried to walk over a street despite there was red light, but Chiba stopped her and lectured her about bad habit, which caused her to cry, but also impressed her with his morality. When Naeko was to move away, Chiba wrote down his feelings in a love letter. Naeko wrote her response on the side of a VHS in the committee storage room, hoping Chiba's sweating habit would cause the message "I like you, too" to show up on his hands after grabbing the tape. Unfortunately, Chiba couldn't find the right tape and never got the message.

On the day of his elementary school reunion, Chiba returned to the school and searched for the tape again. With the help of Conan and the [[Detective Boys]], he finally finds the message and heads for the reunion. Unfortunately Naeko doesn't show, and he hears from a former classmate that she said she is "now with the one she loved". Depressed, Chiba immediately leaves and finds a lady traffic cop giving him a ticket. When the officer offers to forget about the ticket since he is a fellow officer, Chiba scolds her for offering to ignore his illegal parking. Chiba leaves with the ticket, but then wonders how the girl knew he was a detective. The officer turns out to be Naeko, who has just been transferred to the police headquarters in Tokyo (working under Yumi) and looks forward to working with the one she loves.<ref name=Naeko></ref>

=== [[Sakurako Yonehara]] ===
Chiba remembers that the person who created the message on the VHS tape (Naeko) was good friends with Sakurako, and they were always together. Sakurako was in the grade level below Chiba.

=== [[Chiba family|Chiba's older brother]] ===
Chiba's older brother worked at a video store where he was required to open the heads of VHS tapes to see if the video had been rewound. Chiba has picked this habit up from him because he thought it was cool.

== Name origin ==
Chiba's name comes from his voice actor [[Isshin Chiba]]. The kanji for {{nihongo|Isshin|一伸}} can also be pronounced as "Kazunobu", which was the voice actor's original name. [[Gosho Aoyama|Gosho]] gave the character a given name with different kanji that are still pronounced as {{nihongo|"Kazunobu" |和伸}}. His original physical appearance was modeled after him as well.

SDB70+ : Q73: Have you established detective Chiba’s first name? 
A: His voice actor’s is Isshin… It might just become Isshin. But everyone with “一” (ichi) in their name is a cool guy… I don’t know what to do. (laughs)

He effectively removed the "一" (ichi) in {{nihongo|Isshin Chiba|千葉一伸}} and changed it to a "和" which can be read as "Kazu" for the original name {{nihongo|Kazunobu Chiba|千葉和伸}}.

'''{{nihongo|Naeko Miike|三池苗子|Miike Naeko}}''' is a character in the anime and manga franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the girlfriend of [[Kazunobu Chiba]].

== Background ==
Naeko Miike is a childhood friend of [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Sakurako Yonehara]]. They all attended [[Teitan Elementary]] together where Kazonobu and Naeko both joined the school broadcasting committee (although Naeko only joined because Chiba did). She then moved after her sixth-grade summer. She works in the traffic department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police District directly under [[Yumi Miyamoto]].

== Appearance ==
Naeko is a light-skinned and fairly tall woman. Furthermore, she has big upward slanted blue eyes. She also has average-length black hair, with some hair points sticking out on her face. She loves to style her hair as pigtails. She usually appears wearing policewomen's clothes.

== Personality ==
Naeko is an extremely hardworking girl who bears a great dedication to her work. However, she also possesses the notable trait of being very shy, which has ruined many of her chances to confess to Kazunobu Chiba about her true identity as his former classmate as well as her feelings for him. A running gag consists of Naeko always hiding her face and blushing heavily when she sees Kazunobu Chiba. She also has a friendly streak, in which she befriended her senior, Yumi Miyamoto, soon after she recently transferred to the latter's Division as well as Miwako Sato a short time after that. It is implied that she is quite observant, as shown when she noted and told Sato that Wataru Takagi was quite popular amongst women (though withholding the information from Sato herself that Takagi's popularity did not come close to matching the level of Sato's own impact around men).

== Abilities ==
While yet to be confirmed in the manga, it is revealed in [[The Mini Patrol Car Police's Big Chase|episode 918]] that Naeko is well-trained in martial arts, She was able to perform a throw, as she lifted a suspect with her hand and put him down knocking him out.

Naeko sings very well. She is seen at the karaoke box singing [[Sissy Sky|closing 60]] and [[Sukoshi Zutsu Sukoshi Zutsu|closing 61]] in [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|episode 971]].

== Plot overview ==
=== Video Letter of First Love (Manga: [[Volume 71|741-742]], Anime: [[A Video Letter of First Love|624]]) ===
When Naeko moved away, Chiba wrote down his feelings in a love letter. Naeko wrote her response on the side of a VHS in the committee storage room, hoping Chiba's sweating habit would cause the message "I like you, too" to show up on his hands after grabbing the tape. Unfortunately, Chiba couldn't find the right tape and never got the message.

On the day of his elementary school reunion, Chiba returned to the school and searched for the tape again. With the help of Conan and the Detective Boys, he finally finds the message and heads for the reunion. Unfortunately, Naeko doesn't show up, and he hears from a former classmate that she said she is "now with the one she loved". Depressed, Chiba immediately leaves and finds a lady traffic cop giving him a ticket. When the officer offers to forget about the ticket since he is a fellow officer, Chiba scolds her for offering to ignore Chiba's illegal parking. Chiba leaves with the ticket but then wonders how the girl knew he was a detective. The officer turns out to be Naeko, who has just been transferred to the police headquarters in Tokyo (working under Yumi) and looks forward to working with the one she loves.

=== The Joint Investigation with First Love (Manga: [[Volume 75|790-792]], Anime: [[Co-Investigating with a First Love|659-660]]) ===
Naeko makes her second appearance during a case involving threats that were placed in cars along with Yumi. Ironically, one of the victims happens to be Chiba himself. Naeko hides behind Yumi and continues to blush in front of him. However, Chiba remains oblivious to the fact that she is his childhood first love. She is forced into investigating the car cases with Chiba as Ayumi's, Mitsuhiko's and Genta's plan to get them to confess their love to each other. Soon after, a crash occurs and they find a man on the floor with another threat in the person's car. While everybody is investigating the current act of vandalism, Naeko helps out by giving information on the other cases. Meanwhile, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta continue to get Chiba to realize who Naeko really is, but he gets distracted by Conan, who keeps finding more evidence and Yumi who won't allow Chiba to steal her latest friend from her. Chiba comes close to finding out when a gust of wind blows Naeko's hat off but is interrupted. Naeko feels like he doesn't remember her at all and calls him a dummy. Naeko continues to help with the investigation and they are able to find the culprit. Soon after Naeko takes Chiba home when Chiba remembers that he's seen her before. Naeko, thinking that he realizes she's his first love, is about to say that Chiba is correct when he says that it was from the time where she gave him a parking ticket. Naeko becomes embarrassed that she assumed wrong, but Chiba reveals to himself that he has a feeling who Naeko really is.

=== The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love (Manga: [[Volume 76|804]], Anime: [[The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love|681]]) ===
[[File:681-2.png|thumb|right|200px|]]
Naeko is first shown with Yumi in the Police Car where they meet Takagi, in which she guesses that he is going on a date with Sato to a hot spring for one night, and expresses surprise when Takagi denies so in a serious manner. Later at the police station, she teases Sato about the possibility of Takagi travelling to meet Sato's parents to ask for her hand and introduces herself to Sato again when the latter forgets her name (much to her dismay). She voices out that she does not believe Takagi is committing a love affair when the trio discusses the reason behind his visit as he clearly stated that it was not a date and asks about Wataru Date when Yumi and Sato mention the deceased police officer, to which she also considers the possibility Takagi visiting Date's parents. When the discussion hits the final result that Takagi can only be visiting a woman, Naeko remarks on Takagi's popularity with women, slightly sparking Sato's ire.

=== UFO Sighting Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 89|942-944]], Anime: [[Chiba's Difficult UFO Case|847-848]]) ===
Naeko secretly sends brochures about a dieting plan to Chiba's house. Besides being busy with his investigation on the UFO sighting case, Chiba lost almost 10 kilograms after practicing the plan. Unexpectedly, this circumstance has made a few female police officers start being interested to attract Chiba. Naeko feels jealous and starts sending Chiba chocolates instead and this made Chiba's body return to its previous shape. The female police officers feel disappointed and say they do not interested in him anymore and that relieves Naeko.

=== Policewomen Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 95|1013]]-[[Volume 96|1017]], Anime: [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|971-974]]) ===
Naeko makes a major appearance in this case since it involves the murder of policewomen, especially from the Traffic Division, with the presence of three suspects who had violated traffic laws.

Later, Naeko is kidnapped by the culprit, after the latter took away her second phone while Naeko was trying to contact Chiba.
Chiba managed to rescue her and apprehended the culprit, but Naeko was injured in her right leg while protecting Chiba from a bowgun arrow. While Naeko is being carried to the hospital in Chiba's back, the latter began to wonder if he should cross the red light since no one is around, however, Naeko managed to stop him from breaking the rules; using the same words that Chiba told her in the past.

Those words finally convinced Chiba that she was indeed his childhood friend Naeko, with the latter giving Chiba a hug, Conan interrupts them to tell Chiba that the light is green. Then the couple goes to the hospital afterwards while blushing at the same time.

{{main|Kazunobu Chiba and Naeko Miike}}

Chiba and Naeko were childhood friends and attended Teitan Elementary together where they both joined the school broadcasting committee (although Naeko only joined because Chiba did). When Naeko was to move away, Chiba wrote down his feelings in a love letter. Naeko wrote her response on the side of a VHS in the committee storage room, hoping Chiba's sweating habit would cause the message "I like you, too" to show up on his hands after grabbing the tape. Unfortunately, Chiba couldn't find the right tape and never got the message.

The officer turns out to be Naeko, who has just been transferred to the police headquarters in Tokyo (working under Yumi) and looks forward to working with the one she loves.

Sakurako is Naeko's childhood friend and former neighbor. They are presumably close even back in their childhood days as Chiba, upon recognizing Sakurako, recalls that the latter always had Naeko by her side. Sakurako has also given Naeko the nickname "Nae-chan", and called her for help when she discovered a corpse at the house she was working at, showing that the two has kept in contact throughout the years.

Yumi is Naeko's senior at work, and even though she cares for her subordinate, she does everything she can to keep Miike away from Chiba, because if those two starts dating, Yumi will be the only single one among her friends. However, she does step back, even though it doesn't help much for Naeko and Chiba.

'''{{nihongo|Naeko Miike|三池苗子|Miike Naeko}}''' is a character in the anime and manga franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is a childhood friend and the girlfriend of [[Kazunobu Chiba]].

== Background ==
Naeko Miike is a childhood friend of [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Sakurako Yonehara]]. They all attended [[Teitan Elementary]] together where Kazonobu and Naeko both joined the school broadcasting committee (although Naeko only joined because Chiba did). She then moved after her sixth-grade summer. She works in the traffic department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police District directly under [[Yumi Miyamoto]].

== Appearance ==
Naeko is a light-skinned and fairly tall woman. Furthermore, she has big upward slanted blue eyes. She also has average-length black hair, with some hair points sticking out on her face. She loves to style her hair as pigtails. She usually appears wearing policewomen's clothes.

== Personality ==
Naeko is an extremely hardworking girl who bears a great dedication to her work. However, she also possesses the notable trait of being very shy, which has ruined many of her chances to confess to Kazunobu Chiba about her true identity as his former classmate as well as her feelings for him. A running gag consists of Naeko always hiding her face and blushing heavily when she sees Kazunobu Chiba. She also has a friendly streak, in which she befriended her senior, Yumi Miyamoto, soon after she recently transferred to the latter's Division as well as Miwako Sato a short time after that. It is implied that she is quite observant, as shown when she noted and told Sato that Wataru Takagi was quite popular amongst women (though withholding the information from Sato herself that Takagi's popularity did not come close to matching the level of Sato's own impact around men).

== Abilities ==
While yet to be confirmed in the manga, it is revealed in [[The Mini Patrol Car Police's Big Chase|episode 918]] that Naeko is well-trained in martial arts, She was able to perform a throw, as she lifted a suspect with her hand and put him down knocking him out.

Naeko sings very well. She is seen at the karaoke box singing [[Sissy Sky|closing 60]] and [[Sukoshi Zutsu Sukoshi Zutsu|closing 61]] in [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|episode 971]].

'''{{nihongo|Vermouth|ベルモット|Berumotto}}''', also known as '''{{nihongo|Sharon Vineyard|シャロン・ヴィンヤード|Sharon Vin'yādo}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Chris Vineyard|クリス・ヴィンヤード|Kurisu Vin'yādo}}''', is an actress and member of the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Vermouth's background is very mysterious because she has been secretly living at least two lives through the art of disguise: that of actress Sharon Vineyard (now "deceased") and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard.

As the actress Sharon Vineyard, Vermouth gained much fame on Broadway and in movies, even winning an Oscar. Even then, she was a member of the Black Organization. Twenty years ago, she murdered [[Jodie Starling]]'s [[FBI]] father who had collected information on her. Jodie Starling would eventually grow up to be an FBI agent and one of Vermouth's most bitter enemies. As Sharon, Vermouth became close friends with [[Yukiko Kudo]] back when they were studying disguise under [[Toichi Kuroba]].

At some point Sharon began to pretend to have a daughter named Chris, who she did not got along with after she played a rude prank. That fact might have serve as a pretext to why the two 'identities' wouldn't be seen together in public. While Sharon was still alive, Chris kept out of the public eye except for acting in movies and giving interviews. Less than one year ago, Vermouth staged Sharon Vineyard's death, which allowed Chris to come out publicly. Currently, Vermouth serves the Black Organization with the public name Chris Vineyard.

Vermouth is the [[The Boss|boss]]' favorite which grants her some independence. Vermouth also has some particular connection to the boss that she does not want known by the greater organization, which [[Bourbon]] is blackmailing her with.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 898: "Scarlet Epilogue"</ref> She also appears not to age or have de-aged over a period of twenty years between when she killed Jodie's parents and her current appearance. She doesn’t seem to like [[APTX 4869|the research]] that [[Shiho Miyano]] and [[Atsushi Miyano|her]] [[Elena Miyano|parents]] engaged in, calling it “foolish". <ref>[[Volume 42#File 434 - Rotten Apple|Volume 42, File 434: "Rotten Apple"]]</ref>

Vermouth entered the storyline some time after [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano/Sherry/Ai Haibara]]'s mysterious flight from the Organization. Her main objective was to track down and eliminate the 'traitor', and for that purpose she assumed the identity of doctor [[Tomoaki Araide]]. But although she managed to discover Shiho's reversion into a child, she did not succeed in killing her, as she met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was able to discover and thwart her plans. She also encountered the FBI during this process.

Vermouth has great personal interest in Conan, constantly calling him "[[Silver Bullet]]". Since it has been revealed that she knows about Ai and Kudo's reversion to their child forms, she seems to know the shrinking effect the drug can have, but for reasons yet unrevealed she keeps this knowledge secret from the rest of the Organization.

== Personality ==
Although she follows orders from the boss and [[Gin]] when he is charge of missions, Vermouth often acts according to her own agenda and whims, even when it runs contrary to the [[Black Organization]]'s best interests. She is secretive and manipulative, even towards other Organization members. Vermouth is confident in her abilities, is very bold, and an expert at manipulating situations to her advantage: traits which allow her to single-handedly weave complex plots and take the upper hand even while she is being monitored by enemies. She is intelligent and insightful, correctly suspecting the allegiance of Kir, but she was successfully outwitted by [[Conan]] and forced by [[Shuichi Akai]] to retreat.
[[File:Vermouth provokes Gin.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Vermouth teases Gin and Vodka by disguising as a waiter.]]
Vermouth's personality is contradictory at times. On one hand, she is a cruel and ruthless agent who will blackmail an unwilling man to commit murder by threatening him and his family just to provide a distraction and happily tell [[Jodie Starling|an FBI agent]] she should smile because she will see her dead father again in heaven. On the other hand, she risks her life several times to protect Conan (Cool Guy), [[Ran]] (Angel), and [[Kogoro]], and her friendly behavior while in disguise as Tomoaki Araide left the real Araide wondering if Vermouth is really a bad person. This inconsistency may reflect an underlying conflict of conscience after [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and Ran (Angel) saved her life during the events of the [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354_Anime:_286-288.29|Golden Apple case]]. Vermouth also appears to be an atheist at first as she claims to not believe in God nor angels until Ran unknowingly rescued her which seemed to have given her back some faith.

At this point, Vermouth's motives are very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. She dislikes the Miyano family's research. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (Cool Guy) (as the son of [[Yukiko Kudo|her best friend]]) and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (Angel).<ref name="e288">[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, Part 3]].</ref> As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.

While she does kill people, something suggests that she is not much into killing children. When Jodie, as a child, caught Vermouth, Vermouth didn't kill her directly but instead asked her to stay in the house, which she later set on fire. It could mean that she doesn't like to kill children directly. And when she questions a young witness, [[Toji Funemoto]], about Kir's accident, she lets him live.

She enjoys teasing others, seen when she disguised as a male waiter and served Gin and Vodka martinis and taunted Chianti by wishing her good luck and blowing her a kiss.<ref>[[Volume 49#File 501 - Follow the Target!|Volume 49, File 501, page 7: "Follow the Target!"]]</ref>

== Abilities ==
=== Disguise ===
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth removes a latex mask.]]
Vermouth is able to mimic anyone's appearance and voice exactly with her disguise and acting skills even after observing them for only a short period of time. Vermouth frequently utilizes latex masks. Her disguising ability has been noted by Conan to be on par with the current Kaito Kid (Kaito Kuroba).<ref>[[Volume 44|Volume 44, File 457, Page 7]]</ref> Although she may have known how to disguise prior to meeting [[Toichi Kuroba]], she studied disguise under him. Her disguise ability was first shown in [[The Mysterious Passenger]]<ref>[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287: "The Unseen Horror"]], [[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 230: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref> where she dressed as a male waiter to tease [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]]. [[Jodie Starling]] once referred to Vermouth's disguise abilities as a frightening type of perfection.<ref>[[Episode 362]]</ref>

=== Reconnaissance ===
Vermouth specializes in reconnaissance and infiltration, and has been shown to work very swiftly yet cautiously to rapidly acquire information. Her confidence and skill in disguise and imitation means she can execute bold plans that put her in very close contact with her targets and she can advance her plot even when they are suspicious of her. Without the aid of the other organization members, Vermouth successfully snuck into the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police headquarters]] in order to steal the records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases. She later returned them when presumably the surveillance would be even higher after the police noticed the files were missing. She then single-handedly staked out the [[FBI]] who were lured out into watching Kogoro Mouri and uncovered their numbers, addresses, and ways to contact them.

=== Stamina ===
Vermouth is quite strong and has developed a high pain tolerance. While she was disguised as a serial killer in New York City, Vermouth athletically vaults up from a dead hanging positioning over the railing of the stairwell to higher ground despite being shot in the side. She also shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Shuichi, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.

=== Pain Tolerance ===
She shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Shuichi, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.

=== Shooting ===
As Vermouth pulled away in Jodie's car with broken ribs after her flak jacket absorbed a close range shotgun blast, she managed to aim a handgun backwards with her left hand using the side mirror while driving a car she wasn't used to and shoot Araide's car's gas tank standing 100 yards away, causing it to explode. Shuichi is impressed she managed that difficult shot with her battered body. Earlier however, she failed to draw fast enough to shoot Jodie or Shuichi; in the first case, the gun was shot out of her hand, in the second, Shuichi fired first.

== Non-aging ==
[[File:Vermouth 20 years ago.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's appearance 20 years before the current timeline.]]
For some reason, Vermouth does not appear to age. Her apparent age hasn’t changed since she murdered Jodie’s parents twenty years ago.<ref name="f433">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> [[Shuichi Akai]] proved that Vermouth was not wearing a mask when his shotgun fire grazed her face. Specifically, it hasn't been clarified if Vermouth hasn't aged over time or if she became younger all at once. It is also important to note that Vermouth's talent for disguise makes it difficult to figure out when Vermouth stopped aging or deaged.

=== The Raven Chaser (Movie: [[The Raven Chaser|13]]) ===
Vermouth disguises as a brown haired policeman in a dark suit with glasses to check on [[Irish]]'s progress and the integrity of his disguise during the conference. After texting the boss outside the bathroom, she exits the building and leaves in [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Gin's Porsche 356 A|Gin's Porsche 356 A]].

She is seen again disguising as a young brown-haired woman when trying to come closer to the believed serial killer but leaves as soon as she realizes he is not. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] tracks her down in the underground parking lot and makes her reveal herself. She gives Conan essential information about an organization member named Irish and wishes him good luck when leaving.
It is later revealed that she was the one who supervised the captured [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Superintendent Matsumoto]] and provided him with comestibles. When the police finds out about Matsumoto's remains, she informs [[Gin]] about it and leaves.
Finally, she is briefly seen driving along the Highway when Gin's helicopter crashes, complimenting Conan's accomplishments and calling him again a "silver bullet".

== Plot exposition ==
=== Family history ===
[[File:Vermouth Sharon Vineyard EP345.png|thumb|right|200px|Chris and Sharon Vineyard]]
In order to camouflage the fact that Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person, Vermouth concocted personal histories for her real life cover roles in order to make them seem like different people. When Sharon and Chris Vineyard were revealed to be one and the same, at least part of the stated Vineyard family history was revealed to be a lie. The fall-out between mother and daughter probably serves as an excuse to why the two of them never are seen together. It is unknown how much of the remainder is truthful, based on the truth, or outright fabrication because the primary source of the information is Vermouth herself who may have more to hide.

Little is known of Sharon Vineyard's mother and father. Sharon's parents were not actors, at least not well known ones, because Agasa called Chris Vineyard a second generation actress.<ref name="f341p8">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 8: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> According to Sharon's story, both her mother and father died in a fire on the day Sharon debuted on screen.<ref name="f351p2">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 2: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref>

So far, Sharon Vineyard's age has not been given and nothing is known about her personal history before she became an actress. Even her fans knew little about her private life even after she became famous.<ref name="f344p9">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 9: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Sharon said her road to stardom was very difficult and full of misfortune, prompting her to doubt the existence of God: "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 18: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Sharon became a star actress<ref name="f350p16">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 16: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> and, according to [[Shuichi Akai]], is best known for her work in the Golden Apple broadway play.
[[File:Chris with veil.png|thumb|left|200px|Chris Vineyard coming out into public for the first time - at the funeral of her mother Sharon Vineyard]]
At some point, she married and gave birth to her daughter Chris Vineyard. Her husband later died of an unspecified illness the day after Sharon won an Oscar. While studying for an acting role approximately 20 years ago, Sharon learned disguise techniques from [[Toichi Kuroba]] alongside the aspiring young Japanese actress [[Yukiko Kudo]].<ref name="f350p17">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 17: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref><ref>Yukiko started her career while in high-school. Yukiko is 37 currently so the time frame while Yukiko was studying as a beginning actress is approximately 20 years ago when Yukiko was 17 or 18.</ref> During their time together, Yukiko became Sharon's friend, and they have maintained contact with one another. Sharon later sent Yukiko three tickets to Golden Apple broadway production the year before she died. The cause of Sharon's death has not been revealed.

Chris Vineyard meanwhile became a successful actress quickly by riding the coattails of her mother's fame.<ref name="f351p2" /> She began to make movies and give interviews to reporters only, but otherwise she never appeared publicly.<ref name="f344p9" /> The first day she came out into public was the day of her mother's funeral some time less than one year ago.<ref name="f344p9" /> A reporter who tried to question Chris asked where she went to school, whether she got along with her mother, who her father is, and if the rumored lover she has will appear at Sharon's funeral.<ref name="f344p10">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 10: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Chris answered none of these, but the types of questions which were asked demonstrate the secrecy surrounding the Vineyard family history.

Sharon Vineyard and Chris apparently didn't get along; Sharon doesn't consider Chris to be her daughter.<ref name="f351p2" /> Sharon explained this by relaying a tale to Yukiko about Chris who disguised as Sharon's husband and then met with Sharon when she visited her husband's grave to lay flowers.<ref name="f351p3">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 3: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref> Sharon did teach Chris the disguise techniques she learned from Toichi after Chris begged for them.<ref name="f351p3" /> One year prior to the current timeline, Sharon says she hasn't seen Chris in ten years and that she is currently hanging out with a "bad crowd" of people.<ref name="f351p3"/>

=== Hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not Jodie ===
[[File:Ep278 Cool Gay.png|thumb|right|200px|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images.]]
There were several hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not [[Jodie Saintemillion]] who was also a candidate for being Vermouth before her true identity was revealed.
* The records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases that Vermouth stole did not contain any cases involving [[Jodie Saintemillion]], but did contain the murder case [[Tomoaki Araide]] was involved in. This was the clue that allowed Conan to deduce Araide was Vermouth.
* Jodie's copies of [[Media:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard]] have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures.<ref name="f343p18">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 18: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> This detail was overlooked in the anime. Also, Jodie has a picture of Dr. Araide.
* Araide switches from the basketball to the drama club.<ref name="f270p3">[[Volume 27#File 270 - Game Start|Volume 27, File 270, page 3: "Game Start"]]</ref>
* Haibara skipped school on the day of the yearly health checkups that Dr. Araide gives the elementary school students. Conan wonders if Haibara thinks there is something wrong with Araide.<ref name="f287p3">[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287, page 9: "The Unseen Horror"]]</ref>
* Vermouth falls out of character. One of her patients says Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger.<ref name=355p6>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 6: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> Also, "Dr. Araide" claims to have sent his grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori,<ref name=355p5>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 5: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> which is strange because it was established in the Araide family murder case<ref>[[Volume 24#File 235 - In the Darkness...|Volume 24, Files 235-236: "In the Darkness..."]]</ref> that Araide didn't trust them (especially Hikaru) to take care of themselves.<ref>[[Volume 35#File 355 - Mystery of the Haunted House 1|Volume 35, File 355: "Mystery of the Haunted House 1"]], [[The Truth of the Haunted House|Episode 274: The Truth of the Haunted House]]</ref>

=== Jodie's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ===
[[File:Vermouth with little Jodie.png|thumb|right|200px|Seven year old Jodie encounters Vermouth twenty years ago.]]
Jodie's father in the FBI was secretly investigating Vermouth twenty years before the current storyline.<ref name="f433" /> That is too young for Chris Vineyard to be in disguise as she is only 29 currently and would be 9 at the time. After Vermouth killed Jodie's father she inadvertently handled Jodie’s father’s glasses barehanded which had fallen off of him and got her fingerprints on them. Unexpectedly, little Jodie came in and saw Vermouth holding the glasses. When Vermouth left after setting the house on fire, she didn't anticipate that Jodie left to get juice, taking her father’s glasses with her and thus preserving her fingerprint. After she discovered Jodie's corpse was not found in the house, Vermouth looked for the girl desperately in order to rectify her mistake, but Jodie had since been put into witness protection.

Jodie suspected Chris Vineyard of being Vermouth when she saw her at Sharon’s funeral. She somehow determined Chris Vineyard’s prints matched those of the glasses. Chris would have been too young to commit a crime 20 years ago, so later Jodie obtained Sharon’s fingerprints and matched those as well. All three matched, proving to Jodie that the three people were one and the same.

=== Conan's investigation ===
==== Conan's discovery Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide ====
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] suspects [[Pisco]] had help from another [[Black Organization]] member. He looks into [[Chris Vineyard]] and realizes that she is able to disguise herself and may be pretending to be someone close to him. [[Kogoro Mouri]]’s case records were stolen from the police department. Conan realizes [[Tomoaki Araide]] is Vermouth because Vermouth needed the files to testify at the trial properly while in disguise.
[[File:Vermouth as Araide.png|left|thumb|200px|Vermouth as Dr. Araide]]
Conan first suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the mourning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. Conan didn't realize that this Black Organization member might be after him or Haibara until after the bus jack case when Haibara tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is [[Shuichi Akai]] whose behavior seemed suspicious.<ref name="f291p11">[[Volume 29#File 291 - A Tiny Trace|Volume 29, File 291, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"]]</ref> After he recognizes Shuichi in the P & A case<ref name="f326">[[Volume 32#File 326 - P & A|Volume 32, File 326-328: "P & A"]]</ref>, Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of someone investigating them.<ref name="f332">[[Volume 33#File 332 - Bloody Valentine 2|Volume 33, File 332: "Bloody Valentine 2"]]</ref> Conan doesn't seem to suspect the person Vermouth has replaced, [[Tomoaki Araide|Dr. Araide]], yet because he was willing to use his voice changer in front of him.<ref name="f330">[[Volume 33#File 330 - Sato's Feelings|Volume 33, File 2: "Sato's feelings"]]</ref>

Conan gets his first tangible proof someone is investigating around him when [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.<ref name="f336p9">[[Volume 33#File 336 - Clean Scent|Volume 33, File 336, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"]]</ref> He begins to wonder who the target is and suspects Shuichi may be behind the incident because of the timing. Conan also begins to suspect the English teacher [[Jodie Starling|Jodie Saintemillion]] and Dr. Araide as well because they were also on the bus.<ref name="f343p17">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 17: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> He isn't sure of the motive for taking the records although Conan wonders if someone is trying to lure him out or if the person returned the files because they already knew what Conan would do.<ref name="f341">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref>

Conan's idea that Pisco had an accomplice among the other suspects has fully solidified. He has noticed one of the suspects who had a purple handkerchief, [[Chris Vineyard]], hasn't appeared in public since that case, thus Conan believes Chris is the Black Organization accomplice. He asks [[Agasa]] to go onto Chris's fansite and gather information on her past, interests, and habits<ref name="f341p3">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 3: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> and Agasa's investigation corroborates with Conan's deduction.<ref name="f344p9" /> Conan is already aware that Chris Vineyard has disguise abilities and may be in disguise as someone around him.<ref name="f343p17" />

At this point, Conan is still uncertain of Araide, Jodie, and Shuichi's allegiances. He learns from [[Ran Mouri|Ran Mouri]] that Shuichi Akai was seen with a man in an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] jacket during the New York case, causing Conan to wonder if the FBI is in Japan for some reason or the Black Organization infiltrated the American law enforcement.<ref name="f380p5">[[Volume 37#File 380 - White Snow... Black Shadow...|Volume 37, File 380, pages 5-6: "White Snow... Black Shadow..."]]</ref> Conan begins to take precautions around Dr. Araide and Jodie by lying to them in order to minimize contact and information they have about Haibara.<ref name="f420">[[Volume 41#File 420 - The Enclosing Surrounding Net|Volume 41, File 420: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net"]]</ref><ref name="f422">[[Volume 41#File 422 - Inescapable Target|Volume 41, File 422: "Inescapable Target"]]</ref> However, Jodie and Dr. Araide both go over to Agasa's house and plant listening devices because Conan failed to communicate his suspicion and plans to Agasa.<ref name="f422" />

By the time Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he has realized that Vermouth is most likely Dr. Araide because Jodie wasn't in Mouri's case files when they were stolen, while Araide was. Vermouth needed the files to give proper testimony at the trial and to act correctly as Araide. Vermouth puts her plan to capture Haibara into action by calling Agasa's house as Dr. Araide saying he wants to take Haibara to a hospital because her cough hasn't gotten better.<ref name="f430p9">[[Volume 42#File 430 - The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood|Volume 42, File 430, page 9: "The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood"]]</ref> Conan is still unsure of Jodie's allegiance until she answers the door before Dr. Araide arrives. Jodie lies to "Haibara" (who is really Conan in disguise) saying that Dr. Araide's car has broken down and she has come in his place.<ref name="f431p3">[[Volume 42#File 431 - The Invisible Man Enters!|Volume 42, File 431, page 3: "The Invisible Man Enters!"]]</ref> Conan catches the lie and realizes that Jodie has been listening to the bugs as well and is acting to protect Haibara, meaning she is against Vermouth. Armed with this info, he asks Jodie to force the truth from Vermouth, and in return he will trust her.<ref name="f432p4">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 4: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

Conan tells Jodie the true scenario of Dr. Araide's family murder case.<ref name="f433p11">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433, page 11: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> Tomoaki Araide’s father, Yoshiteru Araide, was killed in his bathtub via electrocution. The murder was masterminded by Yoshiteru Araide's second wife, Yoko Araide. She caused a blackout to occur while she was supposedly on the phone, and during the ensuing darkness, snuck to the bathroom and put an electric shaver in the bathtub. She then crept back and asked the housemaid [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] to flip the circuit breaker, causing Yoshiteru Araide to be electrocuted. "Sleeping Kogoro", the police, and the criminal decided to create a false investigation record to protect the conscience of the maid Hikaru. Jodie used this to her advantage and forced Vermouth to reveal that she didn't know the true sequence of events.<ref name="f432p11">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 11: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

==== Conan's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ====
[[File:Vermouth protecting Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide protects Conan on the hijacked bus. This action puzzled Conan until he realized he had unknowingly saved Vermouth in New York city one year before.]]
At the same time Shinichi and Ran were in New York City, Vermouth disguised as a silver-haired serial killer in order to lure out [[Shuichi Akai]]. Later, Conan suspected the serial killer may have been someone in disguise when he heard that the serial killer’s blood and fingerprints on the stair rails were cleaned up, an action uncharacteristic for someone intending to commit suicide.<ref name=354p3>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (354), pg 3: "Golden Apple 5". Note that Conan had not figured out everything completely at this point.</ref><ref>Manga [[Volume 37]], File 8 (380), pg 6: "White Snow... Black Shadow...". Conan is now convinced that the serial killer was killed. He had begun suspecting Shuichi Akai previously, and he still does at this point after Ran informs him Shuichi is an FBI agent, because Shuichi could be a spy in the FBI from the Black Organization.</ref> Sharon was the only person Conan knew about in the local area with high disguise abilities, so suspicion naturally fell onto her.

After Vermouth disguised as Araide, Conan deduced from the way Vermouth was behaving that she was trying to avoid involving Conan in her plan and was only targeting Haibara. Vermouth as Dr. Araide risked her life to protect Conan in the bus jack case and helped him out in Sato's matchup case. When Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he realizes that Vermouth's intentions are to only trap Haibara and that Vermouth is trying to lure Conan to the party to avoid catching him up in her plan.

Conan who didn't exist a year ago has no reason to be “protected” by Vermouth. Conan deduces Vermouth must know his identity as Shinichi and the reason for her “protection” must have to do with something he did as Shinichi. However, Sharon was the only one Shinichi had a connection with, and she is apparently dead. Sharon’s daughter Chris has never met Shinichi and is estranged from Sharon Vineyard so she alone doesn't have an adequate motive to protect Shinichi. Also, it wouldn’t make sense for Chris Vineyard, who isn’t a family friend like Sharon, to be able to recognize Shinichi as Conan; presumably Vermouth saw young Shinichi with Yukiko when she was Sharon.<ref>Manga [[Volume 42]], File 10, pg 5</ref>

All these clues come together when Conan makes the assumption that Sharon Vineyard is Chris Vineyard who disguised as the silver haired serial killer in New York and that she is grateful for being rescued by [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and [[Ran]] (Angel).<ref name="f429p9">[[Volume 42#File 429 - The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet|Volume 42, File 429, page 9: "The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet"]]. After Conan tells Agasa that Vermouth probably knows who they are, Agasa asks "If they know that much, why haven't they come here to kill you?". Conan's response is, "I don't know the reason, but... but I think I at least know one of the causes."</ref>

== Speculation ==
=== Vermouth's true age ===
Vermouth's age is unknown because her history is largely unclear. We know she has lived as Chris who is 29, and as Sharon whose age is unknown. Her face when she killed Jodie's father 20 years ago was youthful, suggesting she is currently at least 40 years old as long as no deaging has occurred...

On the train, when she was talking to Yukiko, Yukiko brought up whatever is used to keep your youthful appearance. She mentiioned about painful that it did not effect the rest of her body, however she sure does not move around like a person in their 40s, and let alone older.

=== Vermouth did not use APTX 4869 ===
A popular theory on Vermouth's non-aging is that she used [[APTX 4869]] to achieve her youthfulness since this is the only known substance capable of producing such an effect ([[Silver Bullet]]'s effects are unknown at this point). However, at present there are things that contradict such a notion. Vermouth would have faced near certain death if she had used APTX 4869.<ref name=V2/> Before Vermouth discovered Haibara and Conan, the known members of the Black Organization (besides Sherry) only knew about APTX 4869's lethal effects,<ref>Sherry did not report the results that several of her mice shrank to the greater organization because they have not been able to figure out how Shiho managed to escape the locked room. If Shiho had reported her data, the Organization would have known that shrinking was a possible side effect of APTX 4869 and would have figured out how she escaped and begun looking for a child. Furthermore, if Shiho had reported to the Organization that APTX 4869 had the possibility of leaving the victim alive, the boss and/or Shiho's superiors would not have permitted the drug in situations where the victim, if surviving, could escape as in Shinichi's case.</ref> and it was considered deadly enough that Sherry's superiors employed it as an untraceable murder weapon.<ref name=V2>Gin described APTX 4869 as a poison before using it on Shinichi, "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff..." (V1-1 pg 37) Haibara also mentions that it was used on a number of other people, "Of all the people who took the drug, only your death hadn't been confirmed yet." (V18-9 pg 6 The Org took great pains to ensure the people APTX4869 was used on were dead, evidenced when they sent Shiho out to investigate Shinichi's case twice to confirm his death. (V18-9 pg 6) Additionally, Gin gave the OK for it to be employed in a time sensitive assassination where failure would be unacceptable: "Anyway, our superior has ordered us to kill him before he rats us out. Don't screw up, Pisco! If there is any complication, you can use the 'experimental drug' [APTX 4869]" (V24-7 pg 17) If the boss, who has been stated to be cautious to a fault, knew about the risk that someone might survive APTX 4869, he would not let his subordinates use the drug without letting them know there was a chance it would leave people alive because, if someone escaped, they could talk to the police or someone else and leak the secret of the Black Organization's existence. If Gin knew it failed to work some of the time, he would have never left Shinichi alone while it acted, and would have also gone looking for him after his body disappeared if that was the case. Even Shiho Miyano who was aware APTX 4869 could rarely cause de-aging expected it to kill her. "I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8) Finally, Shiho makes it clear the Organization is not simply trying APTX 4869 out on victims, they are actively using it to kill. "If I reported your condition to the Organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." (V18-9 pg 7) Even though Shinichi was an "interesting specimen" (V18-9 pg 7), if the Org was field testing, they would try to capture Shinichi alive for study. Shiho was still project manager when use on humans began and when Shinichi was poisoned, so she would know the Organization's protocol should someone fail to die.</ref> However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series,<ref>"No angel has smiled upon me", "My life represents a series of misfortunes" (V35-1 pg 2)</ref> it is possible Vermouth took APTX 4869 hoping to commit suicide, but she de-aged instead, similar to Haibara's situation<ref>"I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8)</ref>. Vermouth could have also gambled on taking APTX 4869 after she recognized the deaged Shiho and Shinichi and then discovered that APTX 4869 was the common connection between them and likely cause of their conditions. However, both the suicide scenario (if it occurred while Shiho was working on the drug) and the gambling scenario fail to explain why no one in the Black Organization has questioned why Vermouth has become younger, especially after Gin saw her true face following the Haunted Ship case<ref>Shuichi's shotgun fire struck Vermouth's face and wounded it which made it apparent she wasn't wearing a mask and thus that was her true face. Vermouth was picked up by Gin in a telephone booth and he would have noticed her facial injury as well.</ref>, and then connected that with APTX 4869 use and Sherry's mysterious escape from the handcuffs and locked room. 
It is possible that Atsushi and Elena Miyano had something to do with Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging (e.g. Vermouth was their guinea pig). This might explain the personal animosity Vermouth feels towards the Miyanos and why she calls their APTX experiment foolish.

Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging may be a result of a project older than Shiho's APTX 4869, like her parents' [[Silver Bullet]], or something else even older than that. This would explain why none of the other members of the Black Organization suspect that APTX 4869 can also cause this effect and thus are unaware of the possibility Shiho de-aged to escape.

Another possibility, could be if she ever administered the APTX 4869 orally, as in she hides it in her mouth, and transfers it to her intended target, as in Mary Sera's case, the de-aging effect may had kept her young, while it may kill or make young the target.

After all, she did state her skin care regiment for retaining her youthful glow to Yukiko in [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] painfully does not affect the entire body, which hints that it mostly affects the face, and other external appearances.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Yukiko Kudo ====
[[File:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth with Yukiko approximately 20 years ago.]]
Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.

====Toichi Kuroba====
Sharon, along with the aspiring actress Yukiko Kudo, studied the finer arts of disguise under Toichi Kuroba. Sharon seems to be unaware of Toichi's alter ego as Kaitou Kid, and that his son, Kaito Kuroba, once interfered with her and Bourbon's plan of capturing Sherry. <ref>Bell Tree Express Train Case</ref>

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{Main|Gin and Vermouth}}
[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth teases Gin with a disguise.]]
Vermouth and [[Gin]] are both executive members. They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Vermouth and Gin trusted one another, but some of Gin's trust may have disappeared as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her intentions.<ref name="CD239b">Conan Drill page 239, "同僚・信頼" (Colleagues Trusted)</ref> Gin doesn't mind threatening her with bodily harm, he nearly stabbed her through the head with an icepick on one occasion when she teased him disguised as a waiter, and he later pointed his gun at her when asking how she was connected with Kogoro. She doesn't seem especially bothered by any of these threats however. Because Vermouth is a high ranking member and the boss's favorite, she isn't scared of provoking the other agents, not even Gin who is extremely dangerous and sensitive. She smiled after moving her head to avoid Gin's deadly sweep with an icepick telling him that "She was just joking" which shows that she enjoys teasing him.

==== Sherry ====
[[File:Vermouth episode 230.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth terrifies Haibara.]]
Vermouth and [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Vermouth appears to dislike the research the Miyanos engaged in, calling it foolish. Shiho fears Vermouth more than most other members except perhaps Gin. Shiho was Vermouth's target, but Vermouth gave up on her after Conan's intervention. During the '[[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Bell Tree Express arc]]', Vermouth tries to use C4 explosives to kill Sherry without telling anyone about the plan, while Bourbon wanted to take her back alive hinting at an abnormal hatred towards her. Additionally if Shiho was in a relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a romantic relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref>

==== The Boss ====
In file 898, Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the [[The Boss|boss]], implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship. Within the syndicate, Vermouth is also known as the Boss' Favorite.
As the Boss' Favorite, Vermouth is granted some privileges such as limited independence and protection from other Black Organization Members.

==== Calvados (deceased) ====
[[Calvados]] was in love with Vermouth, and Vermouth took advantage of his feelings and used him. Vermouth called on Calvados to aid her in disposing with Jodie and capturing Haibara at the shipping yards. After Shuichi got the best of Calvados and Vermouth, she chose to run away, leaving him at the mercy of the FBI. Calvados chose to commit suicide rather than be caught.

==== Chianti and Korn ====
[[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] both hate Vermouth because they believe that Vermouth took advantage of Calvados' feelings for her and used him, leading him to his death. Chianti has been more vocal with her hatred than Korn.

==== Pisco (deceased) ====
Although Vermouth and [[Pisco]] are executive members, Vermouth dislikes and looks down on Pisco despite cooperating with him.<ref name="CD239d">Conan Drill page 239, {{Lang|ja|見下す}} (despise look down on}</ref>

==== Rei Furuya/Bourbon ====
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]]/ Bourbon worked with Vermouth on a plan to determine if [[Shuichi Akai]] was really dead. She made [[Scar Akai|masks that looked like Shuichi's face with a scar]] for him so he could approach Shuichi's friends and colleagues to see their reactions to him. She also interfered with his plans to capture Sherry alive by rigging the location Rei intended to trap Sherry in with explosives to kill her,and it probably had nothing to do with her being aware that Gin and Vodka probably placed a ton of explosives at the destination platform, which would have caused the entire train, and everyone on it, including her and Boubon, to blow up as well.

==== Rum ====
The relationship between the Boss' Favorite and the Boss' Close Aide is somewhat unknown, although Vermouth was once seen taking orders from syndicate's Second-In-Command. Vermouth was tasked to investigate Yusaku Kudo, an individual whom Rum considers a threat to the Black Organization in Yusaku Kudo's TV Show Case.

==== Tequila ====
Suguru Itakura suspected that Vermouth and Tequila were in cahoots when both individuals demanded him to finish a particular program that the Black Organization was interested in.

==== Vodka====
Throughout the series, Vermouth has not been shown as having any negative emotions regarding [[Vodka]], unlike other members of the Organization (like [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]). Vodka and Vermouth have been seen along on missions sometimes, but in general they don't pay much attention to each other.
She does tease Vodka about his lack of literary knowledge when he fails to understand how Haido Park could be a place most suited for hunting.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Jodie Starling ====
[[Jodie Starling]] has a bitter hatred for Vermouth because Vermouth murdered her father, but Vermouth doesn't have any particular animosity for Jodie beyond her being a skilled FBI adversary whom she would like to kill. Jodie thinks Vermouth is an entirely evil person. Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to students and patients while disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], so when the real Araide wonders if Vermouth is really a bad person, Jodie takes offense and angrily yells at him, "How can someone be a good person if she kills people with a smile!?"<ref>Manga Volume 45, File 2, pg 18: "The truth behind the remaining desk"</ref>

Twenty years before the current timeline, Vermouth goes to the house of Jodie's father, an FBI agent, and kills him. An eight to nine year old [[Jodie Starling]] walks in while Vermouth was trying to put his glasses back on his body and thinks her father is asleep. Vermouth tells her that she should wait for her father to wake up. When the girl asks her who is she, Vermouth replies "A secret makes a woman, woman". Vermouth burns the house down, thinking Jodie stayed behind and was killed as well. However, the girl goes out of the house to buy orange juice for her father, narrowly escaping death. She also takes her father's glasses with her, preserving the fingerprints Vermouth left on them. When Vermouth finds out Jodie's body was not in the house, she looks for her to kill her, but the FBI enrolled her in witness protection. Jodie later becomes an FBI agent in order to find her father's killer.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Vermouth and [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] don't have much personal animosity for each other in particular despite the fact that they have been hunting one another for some time. Vermouth regards Shuichi as a "silver bullet": someone with the potential to destroy the Black Organization. In accordance with this assessment, she attacks him immediately and preferentially in the confrontation with her at the docks. Shuichi seems to hit a nerve when he called her a rotten apple, wilted on the inside.

==== Kir ====
She suspects that [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] is a member of the CIA though she hasn't told anyone about it.

=== Others ===
[[File:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's dartboard. Conan's picture has "Cool guy" written on it while Ran's says "Angel."]]
==== Shinichi Kudo/ Edogawa Conan ====
After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] helped Ran save Vermouth's life in New York while she was disguised as a serial killer, she nicknames him "Cool guy".

Later in the series, after [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] successfully interfered with Vermouth's plan of killing [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], then almost forced her to surrender and take him to find the boss, she gives him another nickname - "Silver bullet" - as she believes that he has the potential to destroy the Black Organization, because he could touch her heart.

Generally, Vermouth tries to protect Shinichi when she is able to, even if it means risking her own life. Although Shinichi found out later that he unknowingly rescued Vermouth in New York City and that Vermouth was a friend of [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]], Shinichi doesn't understand why Vermouth would make the promise to give up on hunting Sherry and not inform the [[Black Organization]] about Haibara and himself.

Because of this, Conan does not react strongly when she is mentioned, as opposed to [[Haibara]]. He also seems to consider her less of a threat than the other members because he is able to bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to Head]], After Conan removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wrist watch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.

She also destroyed the box that he was connected to by many wires, so as not to possibly accidentally kill or hurt him, which pulling out the wires would have, according to Conan.

After she used sleeping gas, in order to knock him back out, so that she can escape, and not lead the Black Organization members to him.

She even covered the sleeping boy up with her coat, so that he would not get sick, since she had literally cut his shirt wide open, in order to see the wires and connected box, which may have made him sick, if he is not found right away, since it is pretty cold, and colds are spreading at this time.

She shot herself in the leg, and had to hobble some distance away from the car, so that he would remain out of sight, and no where around her, when Gin came to pick her up.

In [[the Raven Chaser]], she even provided Conan with the name of [[Irish]], and gave him a little bit of information of why the Organization is interested in this serial murder case.

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to [[Gin]], she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," in order to protect Conan. She also called Conan "My lovely Silver Bullet-kun" once again when she was driving her motorcycle. Also, when the Gin ordered [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to kill [[Kogoro Mori]] together with Conan, Vermouth was against it and told them to stop. To the black organization, it looked like she was defending Kogoro Mori but she was actually defending Conan.

==== Ran Mouri ====
After Ran saved Vermouth's life in New York City, Vermouth nicknames [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] "Angel". Earlier, Vermouth, as her Sharon Vineyard role, complained that her life was a series of misfortunes and, "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18" /> Even though Vermouth in disguise prepared to kill Ran later, Ran stopped Vermouth from taking a fatal fall. Vermouth was touched by this act of kindness. Much later in the story when Ran shielded Haibara from gunfire with her body, Vermouth refused to shoot Ran or allow her to be shot, instead firing around her in an attempt to frighten Ran into releasing Haibara. Although Ran does not know who Vermouth really is, she values the handkerchief that Sharon Vineyard gave her back in New York. She also describes her as "one of only two treasures in her life" (the other being Shinichi Kudo) when Ran asked her if she was or wasn't Azusa Enomoto.

====Tomoaki Araide====
Vermouth originally intended to kill Araide and take his place to approach Conan and Haibara more closely. Anticipating this development, the FBI faked his death and Vermouth took his place as expected, giving the FBI an opportunity to investigate Vermouth in close proximity.
While disguised as Tomoaki Araide, Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to the students and patients. This fact made the real Araide wonder if Vermouth is really a bad person<ref> Teitan High School's Ghost Story</ref>.

====Suguru Itakura====
Vermouth's Target. Sharon and Itakura worked before in movies containing visual effects and the two were known for their constant quarelling. Although Itakura seems to be unaware of Sharon's persona as Vermouth, he follows her orders anyway and partially completed the program that the Black Organization was interested in.

====Yusaku Kudo====
Sharon and Yusaku were probably acquainted through Yukiko Kudo, a friend of Sharon's and Yusaku's wife. Vermouth once investigated him after being tasked by Rum to monitor the individual, considering him a threat to the Black Organization. However, Yusaku saw through the syndicate's ploy and tricked Vermouth into thinking that they are just staying for vacation.
Since Yusaku is Shinichi's Father, it is unclear if Vermouth really meant to kill him when she stated on planning to eliminate the "person of interest" when necessary.

====Kogoro Mouri====
Vermouth once stole Kogoro's files from the police to successfully testify as Tomoaki Araide in court and later returned them in one piece.
Since Kogoro is Ran's Father, Vermouth tried to protect him from being killed by Gin after he was suspected on planting a bug on Kir's shoe, implying her consideration for Ran's feelings and welfare.

====Mary Sera====
Vermouth once disguised as Tsutomu Akai in an attempt to lure out Mary Sera on Vauxhall Bridge in London. <ref>File 1048</ref> She intended to take her place and infiltrate the Secret Intelligence Service. However, as complications went underway, Vermouth forcibly ingested APTX 4869 into Mary's mouth, shrinking her to her childhood state.<ref>File 1049</ref>

Jaguar41: /* Subaru Okiya / Shuichi Akai */

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 23 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed. Beyond that, Conan doesn't know that 4 of them recognize him as Shinichi.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

The Kudo couple, Shinichi's parents, [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], heard that from Professor Agasa in volume 6, after finding the Kudo household empty.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=6|publisher=Viz Media|date=2005-07-01|isbn=1-59116-838-4|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>
{{clear}}

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Akemi Miyano (deceased) ===

[[Akemi Miyano]], Ai Haibara's elder sister. Conan told her his real name as Akemi was dying.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=2|publisher=Viz Media|date=2004-11-03|isbn=1-59116-587-3|chapter=File 7|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

{{clear}}

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:Vermouth.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members. In addition, Conan is not aware that she knows his real identity.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting ten years ago and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed that she and Mary had been watching [[Holmes' Revelation|Minerva Glass' tennis match]] on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice, and remembered the same proclamation of Shinichi [[The Wizard of the Ripples|ten years ago]] on the beach. They recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

[[Subaru Okiya]] (officially revealed to be [[Shuichi Akai]] in [[The Scarlet Return]]) obtained proof of Conan's identity when he caught Conan pretending to be Shinichi over the phone.<ref>Chapter 813</ref> Based on some of the questions he asked Ran, he may have deduced Conan was Shinichi very soon after he moved into the Kudo house<ref>Paper Airplane Case</ref>, but had lacked absolute proof up until the phone incident. Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself. However, while Conan still refuses to speak of his identity, it's revealed he has already realised that Shuichi Akai knows he is Shinichi Kudo.<ref>Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene</ref> Despite of this fact, Conan is not aware about Shuichi's knowledge of his real identity.
{{clear}}

=== Mary Sera ===
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
In [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|Soul Detective Murder Case]], [[Mary Sera|Mary]] told Masumi that Conan is no longer the same person that she and Masumi met ten years ago. This implies that she is aware that Conan is Shinichi, although Conan is not aware about this.

In [[The Birthday Party of Divine Punishment]], she and Masumi had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice, and remembered the same proclamation of Shinichi ten years ago on the beach. They recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.
{{clear}}

=== Kaitou Kid / Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery (movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

== Non-canon ==
=== Kaitou Kid / Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

=== John ===
[[File:John2.jpg|100px|right]]
{{nihongo|'''John'''|ジョン|Jyon}} is a pet dog owned by Masayoshi Sakaguchi, the famous lawyer that specialises in crimes committed by juveniles, in [[Pet Dog John Murder Case]]. When he was in primary school, along with Ran, Shinichi used to come at that house a lot on the way home. He used to save his bread from lunch and gave it to this dog. Then, even if he is Conan at the moment, John recognizes Shinichi.

{{main|Tokujiro Nagai}}
[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

Actually, '''Suehiko''' just dubious know Conan's true identity. Because he can't see anything being blind, he think Conan is Shinichi thanks to the collected fingerprint when Conan sit on the armchair at the initial meeting. He appears in [[The Private Eyes' Requiem]].
{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith Dan Stinger.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.
{{clear}}

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya / Tooru Amuro / Bourbon / Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Afterwards, she thanked Conan for helping her find her childhood friend.

[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:Vermouth.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members. In addition, Conan is not aware that she knows his real identity.

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting ten years ago and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed that she and Mary had been watching [[Holmes' Revelation|Minerva Glass' tennis match]] on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice, and remembered the same proclamation of Shinichi [[The Wizard of the Ripples|ten years ago]] on the beach. They recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself.

In [[The Birthday Party of Divine Punishment]], she and Masumi had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice, and remembered the same proclamation of Shinichi ten years ago on the beach.

=== Kaitou Kid / Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery (movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith Dan Stinger.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.
{{clear}}

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya / Tooru Amuro / Bourbon / Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Afterwards, she thanked Conan for helping her find her childhood friend.

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed. Beyond that, Conan doesn't know that 4 of them recognize him as Shinichi.

[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting ten years ago and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed that she and Mary had been watching [[Holmes' Revelation|Minerva Glass' tennis match]] on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice, and remembered the same proclamation of Shinichi [[The Wizard of the Ripples|ten years ago]] on the beach. They recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

=== Kaitou Kid / Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery (movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

{{main|Tokujiro Nagai}}
[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith Dan Stinger.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.
{{clear}}

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya / Tooru Amuro / Bourbon / Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.

==== Jodie Starling ====

[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Afterwards, she thanked Conan for helping her find her childhood friend.

Jaguar41: /* Canon */

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 23 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed. Beyond that, Conan doesn't know that 4 of them recognize him as Shinichi.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:Vermouth.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

{{main|Tokujiro Nagai}}
[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith Dan Stinger.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.
{{clear}}

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya / Tooru Amuro / Bourbon / Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Afterwards, she thanked Conan for helping her find her childhood friend.

'''{{nihongo|Wataru Takagi|高木渉|Takagi Wataru}}''' is a police sergeant and detective from the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police District]]'s Criminal Investigation First Division and the love interest of [[Miwako Sato]].

== Background ==
Wataru Takagi is a newcomer to the Tokyo Police Criminal Investigations Division 1, having transferred after the bomber case about three years ago but by the time [[Shinichi Kudo]] first established his reputation as a detective, about two years ago.<ref>Manga Chapters 204-207: Shinichi's First Case, and Chapters 366-368: Parade Bomber Case</ref> His mentor was a senior agent called Date, who died one year before the present timeline. In his last moments Date entrusted Takagi his notebook, which had a ring for his girlfriend Natalie Kuruma hidden. He kept Date's notebook as a personal motivation to be just as good as Date. It was first a year later he realized that Date's girlfriend was Natalie, but it was too late to give her the ring, because she committed suicide soon after Date's death. He was [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Category:Anime_to_manga_characters first introduced in an Anime original] case at an on location film set.

Ever since his joining the force, Takagi (like so many of his other colleagues) has harbored romantic feelings for [[Miwako Sato]]. While Sato appeared to have taken a liking to him as well, Takagi was easily discouraged by the way she dealt with other male colleagues, including their superior Inspector Megure (though in that case it was more a daughterly affection to a father figure, since Sato's father had died when she was very young).<ref>Manga Chapter 233: Countdown</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 269: Time's Up</ref> In time, thanks to several severe incidents - and despite the interference of the other officers in the department, chiefly [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] -, their professional relationship grew more personal,<ref>Manga Chapters 267-269: Sato's Father Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 366-368: Parade Bomber Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 369-373: Serial Bomber Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 404-406: Missing Ring Case</ref> and finally Sato and Takagi shared their first kiss after he had been hospitalized in the course of a difficult case<ref>Episode 683: The Life-Threating Broadcast of Love (entering the scene)</ref> and kissed the second (and third!) time in Episode 683 when he almost died in a bomb accident.

Takagi is among the investigators who receive the most near fatal experiences. That includes, among many things:
* Handcuffed to the window of a burning warehouse.
* Trapped in a tower containing a countdown bomb.
* Held hostages and shot by the criminal.
* Tied on a plank on a roofless two story building containing a countdown bomb, while the temperature outside is -20 Celsius degree.

Although at some point, Takagi briefly develops PTSD, he nevertheless relentlessly pursues justice, even if it endangers his life.

== Personality ==
While he is initially self-conscious and bumbling, Takagi is a dedicated member of the Tokyo Police Force and shows promise as a good officer as the series progresses. He is one of the few officers who trusts [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s judgments the most, listening to him at case scenes to find important evidence and sometimes even letting Conan take the lead in their investigation (the case with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] handcuffed to the wrong suspect in the bathroom being a good example).<ref>Manga Chapter 232: Finding Evidence</ref>

Takagi has a strong intuition and sense of justice, and is very honorable. He has a strong drive to protect others, partially based in his profession as an officer, and partially based on a self-sacrificing trait in his personality. He is always very polite, even when alarmed, and defers to the judgment of his partner Miwako Sato not only because she is his senior, but because he truly respects her. 

His hobbies are playing the maracas<ref>Manga Chapter 620: The Vanished Blunt Weapon</ref> and following the international wrestling scene, being a fan of wrestlers such as [[Wikipedia: Bruiser Brody|Bruiser Brody]] and [[Wikipedia: Keiji Mutoh|Keiji Mutoh]], and recognizing a move that Ran does as the "Shining Wizard," a finishing move of Mutoh's.<ref>Manga Chapter 388: Wolf's Shadow</ref> In summary, his hobbies involve a lot of martial arts and sports.

== Plot overview ==
=== Actor's Apartment Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|170]]-[[Volume 18|172]], Anime: [[The Historical Actor Murder Case|102-103]]) ===
Takagi makes his debut in the Manga series.

=== Treadmill Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 21|208-210]], Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|146-147]]) ===
This is the first case to show detective Takagi’s romantic affection for a female police officer, [[Miwako Sato]].

Initially, Takagi is tasked with the mission of recording the [[Detective Boys]]' testimonies regarding the events at the [[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case|Blue Castle]]. Just as they're about to begin, the children notice his untidy clothing and wonder if he doesn't have a girlfriend. [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] offers to introduce to him his cousin's granddaughter, but Takagi awkwardly declines, stating that he has already had someone that he likes, right before detective [[Miwako Sato]] enters the room. Takagi keeps blushing, and his unnatural manner in front of Sato makes the Detective Boys think that she is really his girlfriend. However, both of them denies that this is true. Takagi wonders why Sato didn't go to assist [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] in the bank robbery case, and learns that the bank manager, together with his wife, will arrive at the Police Headquarter. Sato asks Takagi whether he has heard anything from her friend Yumi. He silently recalls Yumi's words, about what Sato told her when she was drunk, that the person she likes is someone from the first investigation division, who may very well be Takagi himself.

The bank manager, Keizo Masuo, comes by himself and decides to call his wife. During the phone call, Takagi and the others suddenly hear the wife's scream. He, Sato, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and Keizo rush to Keizo's house and find his wife's dead body. The person to be in charge of this murder case is Inspector [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], a police officer who has just been promoted recently. When Sato sarcastically suggests that Shiratori may as well consider her "a possible wedding match", Takagi misunderstands and begins to suspect that the person whom Sato said she has feelings for is none other than Shiratori. He keeps thinking of unreal scenarios with Shiratori and Sato being together, and isn't able to fully concentrate on the case.

Later, with the help from Conan, the trick and the identity of the killer are uncovered, and the case goes to an end. After turning down the invitation of Shiratori, Sato invites Takagi to go out and have ramen for dinner, to which he accepts happily. Unexpectedly, a drunken Megure comes up and asks them to go for a drink with him at the bar, and Sato immediately approves of the idea despite the invitation to Takagi earlier. Because of this, Takagi suddenly suspects that Sato's love interest is in fact Inspector Megure, and declines the offer.

The case ends with a depressed Takagi lying on the table and being unable to do anything, even though he still hasn't taken the Detective Boys' testimonies yet.

In one of the Japanese Audio/English subtitles, his words are translated as "eins, zwei, drei," which is German, but he is actually saying "un, deux, trois." The victim was German, and Agasa says that when the dying victim (who spoke German, English and Japanese) was asked who the culprit was, he answered in his native tongue. Megure then turns to Takagi, who starts counting in French. Agasa then corrects him, saying "That's French," and then proceeds to count from one to eleven in German, solving the case. This exchange does not take place in the manga. This could suggest that Takagi is bilingual in French and Japanese (or at least took French in school).

[[File:Takagi and Sato second kiss.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Takagi and Sato's second kiss.]]
Takagi is kidnapped by a mystery man misunderstanding he is [[Wataru Date]] who made his daughter commit suicide. Around a year after the death of his friend and mentor Date, Takagi discovered that a suicide victim Natalie Kuruma was Date's girlfriend. Since the police investigation assumed that she killed herself due to having been dump, Takagi concluded that Natalie didn't know that Date had passed away in a traffic accident and decided to contact Natalie's next-of-kin to inform them of the truth. Since Natalie's parents had passed away, Takagi contacted the one who claimed her possessions, a colleague from English conversation school and old friend, Ryusaku Fuemoto. But due to that Natalie had never told her family her boyfriend's family name and because Date and Takagi had the same given name, Ryusaku mistook Takagi as the boyfriend who dumped Natalie, and lured him to Hokkaido. Police officers including [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Superintendent Matsumoto]] and [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] find their way to save Takagi with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s help. [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] saves Takagi on time before the bomb under him exploded.

=== A Missing Item Case (Manga: [[Volume 82|869-871]], Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9|748-749]]) ===
Takagi sees Sato is hesitates when thinking about that she's expecting some lost. Takagi thinks that she might be pregnant. The thing Sato was actually missing was her red badge which is given to all officers in the 1st Division. The whole pregnancy situation was a huge misunderstanding.

=== A Killer in Ramen Ogura (Manga: [[Volume 88|930]], Anime: [[Ramen So Good, It's to Die For 2|828]]) ===
Takagi and Sato put on disguise to catch the culprit at a ramen shop. It's again stated that they're sexually active, as Sato tells Takagi that she plans to work out *intensely* that night to burn out calories (implying that she wants to have sex with him) and is mad when he misses the point of her remark.

=== Wataru Date's Notebook (Manga: [[Volume 101|1079]]-[[Volume 102|1081]], Anime: TPD) ===

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Prior to manga appearances ===
Takagi was originally introduced as an [[anime]] only character to assist [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] as well as [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] with the solutions to cases. He was inserted into both Manga canon episodes as well as TV originals. He appeared in 23 episodes spanning 20 cases before the [[The Historical Actor Murder Case|anime adaptation]] of his [[Volume 18#Actor.27s Apartment Case|first official Manga appearance]] aired.

=== On Location, TV Drama Murder Case (Anime: [[Episode 21|21]])===
Takagi's first appearance in the [[anime]] series.

=== TV Station Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 11#TV Station Murder Case|102-104]], Anime: [[Episode 31|31]])===
The first Manga canon episode to feature Takagi despite him still being an Anime Original character at the time.

=== [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan]] ===
When [[Lupin III]] arrived in Japan to steal a jewel called the Cherry Sapphire, [[Inspector Zenigata]] of the ICPO asked to use some of Inspector Megure's officers as part of a plan to prevent the theft. After seeing Miwako eagerly volunteer to join Zenigata's team (as Lupin was her first love), Takagi took part in the operation as well. However, at the scene of the planned crime, it was revealed that Takagi was actually Lupin, who had replaced Takagi after stealing his clothing and identity. After the heist, [[Yumi Miyamoto]] and [[Naeko Miike]] discovered the real Takagi stripped, bound and gagged inside a parking garage.

== List of disguises used ==
In one case, [[Parade of Malice and Saint]], he wore a disguise that by remarkable coincidence resembled [[Jinpei Matsuda]], Sato's late partner.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Miwako Sato ===
[[File:Episode 535 - Sato and Takagi kiss.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sato and Takagi.]]
{{main|Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato}}
His affection for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] is a driving force of his character development. While his insecurity and comical outside interference regularly gets in the way, he slowly manages to win her heart through his dedication, honesty and sincerity - traits Sato had also admired in her late colleague [[Jinpei Matsuda]]. Sato finally kisses Takagi after he has been severely wounded while protecting others.

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Takagi has come the closest of any of the Division One members to finding out [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s true identity. [[File: EP391 1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Takagi.]]

In The Man From Chicago, Episode 258-259, When Conan is telling the police officers present about the Panda colors of the Police Cars, and that the younger generation may not know this information about their black and white cars, Takagi asks himself, "What generation is this kid from?"

In the Tokyo Tower Bomber Case, while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime, [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], as Conan, told Takagi that he would answer Takagi's questions about his real identity "on the other side."

Takagi has also come to acknowledge Conan's sharp mind and intellect, taking Conan's observations seriously and even allowing him to accompany him to question suspects, most notably during the New Scar and the Whistling Man Case where he has the rest of the Detective Boys remain in the car.

He also fully supports Takagi's relationship with Sato, at one point orchestrated a plan to foil Shiratori's attempt of an arranged marriage with Sato. When asked for reasons, he didn't answer, but quietly relate the experience with Ran's relationship.

=== Kazunobu Chiba ===
[[File: EP526 4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kazunobu and Takagi.]]
Takagi and [[Kazunobu Chiba]] always work together on murder cases. Chiba is also the only male officer in their department who has had no obsessive crush on Sato, and in fact supported Takagi in his romantic endeavors on several occasions.

=== Wataru Date ===
[[Wataru Date|Date]] was Takagi's mentor and close friend who passed away in a traffic accident. As the pronunciation of his name was the same as Wataru Takagi's, Takagi and Date were nicknamed "the Wataru brothers" (ワタル・ブラザーズ). He is very loyal to his late friend's memory, as demonstrated when he tried to clear out misunderstanding around the death of Date's girlfriend. And he feels guilty in not living up to what he believes was Date's last wish; Giving Natalie a ring hidden in the notebook. He couldn't give her the ring, because Natalie had committed suicide soon after Date's death.

=== Other ===
In the 16th movie, "The Eleventh Striker," Takagi mentions that he saw a football (soccer) game with his nephew, but does not give a name. This implies that he has at least one sibling.

== Character popularity ==
* eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Takagi placed 14th in the poll with 46 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

* In honor of the release of the 15th movie, [[Quarter of Silence]], the official Conan movie website held a popularity poll for the top 10 Detective Conan characters. Takagi placed 10th out of 10.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.conan-movie.jp/camp_chara/camp15th_res.html|title=名探偵コナン「キャラクター人気投票」|date=2011|publisher=www.conan-movie.jp|accessdate=2011-08-12}}</ref>

* In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Takagi placed 10th overall with 226 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

* He ranked 9th in the SDB 80+'s poll "Characters you want to marry the most", with 446 votes.

== Name origin ==
* Takagi is named after his voice actor. In the anime he was originally a nameless character called "Detective A" who would appear in the background in some episodes<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp/nl/articles/1603/29/news079.html|title=声優・高木渉が「PON!」に生出演　高木刑事＆元太の声で映画「名探偵コナン」をアピール|date=2016-03-29|publisher=https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp|accessdate=2019-06-04}}</ref>. However while recording for [[Night Road Murder Case|episode 66]], Megure's voice actor [[Chafurin]] adlibbed asking Detective A "What's your name?", to which Takagi's voice actor mistakenly responded with his own name and replied "It's Takagi" <ref>{{cite web|url=https://otapol.com/2016/01/post-5345.html|title=大河ドラマ『真田丸』に『コナン』の高木刑事が出陣中!?　ベテラン声優・高木渉の人気にNHKも東スポも驚く！|date=2016-01-17|publisher=https://otapol.com|accessdate=2019-06-04}}</ref>. While this ad-lib was not kept in for the airing, the name stuck and is used in this episode and beyond. Gosho included the name Wataru Takagi since it is also the name of a Detective created by Kenzo Kitakata named Yoshibumi '''Taka'''gi where only the first kanji in the surname is similar (高 - Taka).

{{nihongo|'''Juzo Megure'''|目暮十三|Megure Jūzō}} (also known as '''Joseph Meguire''' in the Funimation dub), commonly referred to as '''Inspector Megure''', is a Police Inspector (Rank 6) in Division 1 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department<ref name=PoliceRanks>http://forums.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=6114.0</ref> in the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Shortly after Megure had come to the police force, he was involved in a case in which he would meet his future wife, [[Midori Megure|Midori]]. As a result of the case, he has taken to wearing a hat in public in order to hide a scar which he gained and his own self-consciousness about how he came to his marriage.<ref>Manga Chapter 286: An Unexpected Motive</ref> Megure was also a good friend of star detective story novelist [[Yusaku Kudo]], and would in the past consult him about one case or another. On many such occasions, Yusaku would take his son [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] with him, who would pick up his father's investigative skills and eventually become a detective in his own right.<ref>Manga Chapter 204: The Initial Call</ref>

Megure is almost always there on the scene when a murder occurs, always interviewing the suspects, and acting as the commanding officer of the group of police he brings along with him, among them [[Wataru Takagi]], [[Miwako Sato]], [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], and [[Kazunobu Chiba]]. Megure and [[Kogoro Mouri]] were former co-officers in the district.<ref>Manga Chapters 570-573: Shinichi's Childhood Adventure</ref>

== Personality ==
Megure is a capable veteran officer who cares much for his underlings, but he is prone to occasional shouting fits whenever something does not go right or when his temper gets the better of him. He also has little patience for fools, but tends to be a bit too conservative, limiting his ability for flexible thinking.

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] solved their first mutual case for him, he has regularly consulted him in difficult cases and considered him a great help.<ref>Manga Chapter 207: Hidden Within The Depth Of The Heart</ref> In stark contrast to this, he tends not to think much of [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]], usually thinking of them as a nuisance until they solve the ongoing case for him. Likewise, from their common police days, he has no high regard for [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], and he thinks that he may actually be under some kind of jinx, since wherever Kogoro<ref>Episode 316</ref>shows up, there is always some murder case nearby (a fact which actually conforms to Conan, which in later cases<ref>Chapter 655</ref><ref>Chapter 919</ref>
he seems to have realised).

In some anime originals, Megure has the habit of trying to tell the culprit about the morals of doing wrong, which he rarely does in the manga series. Megure also likes to look good in front of TV and interviewing which he makes himself look neat. He is not really able at talking English, for example instead of policeman he said poriceman wrongly, and has a hard time using computers and any modern technological device.

Megure has a strong sense of justice and a strong tolerance for pain like when been hit with a iron club on head and been stabbed in stomach with knife.

When suspects yell, Megure mostly keeps a doesn't care attitude and doesn't show reaction.

== Plot overview ==
Megure appears in a majority of the episodes. He is always involved in questioning suspects, although his deductive powers are not as well-developed as [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] or [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]].

== Non-canon plot overview ==

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Midori Megure ====
[[Midori Megure|Midori]] is Megure's wife. During a case a long time ago, she insisted on being a decoy for a serial killer. This is explained in episode 217-218. Juzo jumped in front of the car to save her. While she was hit, he only hit his head. This is explained why he never takes off his hat, which is to hide the scar. She survived and later they were married. She would always make a bento lunchbox for him.

==== Yusaku Kudo ====
Megure is on very friendly terms with [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and respects his deductive powers, so much so that he sometimes looks to him for guidance on tough cases.

==== Shinichi Kudo ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]] is respected and seen as a helpful guide on cases by Megure. Their working relationship began with [[The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case|Shinichi's first solo case aboard an airplane]]. Shinichi's habit of helping the police likely comes from his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]], whom Megure also respects. Megure often comments how cases would be much easier if "Kudo-kun" was still around. Conan often pretends that Shinichi tells him the truth to cases by phone so that Megure is more accepting of Conan's deductions.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP448 3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Juzo and Edogawa.]]
Megure tends to treat Conan as a nuisance, and does not think much of him. Unlike Takagi and Sato, he does not notice as much as others the tips and hints Conan drops regularly.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
In episode 218, Juzo shielded Sonoko from a serial killer. The serial killer was going to kill Sonoko with a iron club until Juzo shielded her at last second. The killer was arrested and Juzo went to the hospital. Sonoko, Ran, Conan, Kogoro and the Superintendent went to visit him.

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:EP588 3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megure and Kogoro.]]
[[Kogoro Mouri]] and Megure used to work together in the past before Kogoro left the police force. Megure found Kogoro's work behavior and poor deductions irritating. Now that Kogoro has become the "Sleeping Kogoro", Megure's respect for him has increased somewhat. It is a running gag that Megure refers to Kogoro as a shinigami or a 'death-god', because of the sheer number of murder cases that Kogoro coincidentally has come by. Now whenever Kogoro and Megure work together, the inspector always impatiently awaits [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|Kogoro's characteristic "Hynaaa~" sound and dance]] that marks the beginning of the [[Conan Edogawa|sleeping detective]]'s deduction.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Wataru Takagi and Ninzaburo Shiratori ====
Megure and [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] usually work together on criminal cases. [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], though an Inspector himself, is also frequently seen conducting investigations with Megure. Both policemen share cordial relationships with Megure and treat him with respect. He can be strict with them, but he also shows concern for them, if they are put in danger.

==== Miwako Sato ====
[[Miwako Sato|Miwako]] and Juzo have been shown to have a father-daughter relationship, probably because Sato's father had died at a young age.

==== Kiyonaga Matsumoto ====
[[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Superintendent Matsumoto]] is Megure's superior. He has great respect for him.

* Megure's scar has yet to be seen, because even when he was hospitalized, he either had his hat or had a bandage that wrapped the whole top of his head.
* Megure does not know how to work with computers well. He doesn't know the most basic jargon nor the proper way to turn one on or off.<ref name=379p>Manga Volume 37, File 7, :"Footsteps of Darkness 3"</ref>
* His last name Megure (目暮) is written with the characters for 'eye' and 'to get dark'. His first name Jūzō (十三) literally means 'thirteen'.
* Megure is the fourth character with most appearances, only less than the 3 protagonists.

'''{{nihongo|Kazunobu Chiba|千葉和伸|Chiba Kazunobu}}''', commonly referred to as '''{{nihongo|Detective Chiba|千葉刑事|Chiba-keiji}}''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Chiba is a detective in the Tokyo district, and very often works alongside [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi]]. His main duty appears to be to obtain information outside of the crime scenes. Sometimes, he will even go out and substitute as inspector when Megure is busy on another case. He is a childhood friend and the love interest of [[Naeko Miike]].

== Background ==
[[File:Young Chiba.PNG|thumb|left|200px|A young Chiba.]]
Initially, he was introduced with a minor cameo in the anime version of [[The Final Screening Murder Case]]. Like several other Anime Original characters, he was [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Category:Anime_to_manga_characters later introduced in the manga] and has taken on a larger role. In many of his early appearances he is depicted as rather average build, but later depicted as overweight. Chiba currently works in the Second violent crimes investigative division, section 3.<ref>Manga Chapter 792 page 4</ref> His duties usually consist of questioning non-suspect characters outside of the crime scene, and running evidence back to the lab as well as returning with the results. A majority of his appearances happen just over half way through a case where he returns to the crime scene with a vital clue needed to solve the case. He has a strong moral compass that usually puts the law above everything. If any one were to break the law they must be punished, even himself.

Chiba has an older brother who worked as an employee at a video rental store. Because of his job, the brother had to open the heads of VHS tapes to check if they had been rewound properly. Chiba has picked up knowledge of VHS tapes as well as this habit of opening their heads to check them.

Chiba attended [[Setting#Teitan Elementary School|Teitan Elementary School]], in the 20th graduating class, 2 classes below [[Sumiko Kobayashi]]. While still in elementary school he was a part of the broadcasting committee and was put in charge of making a mini-audio drama, which was successful. As a result, he tried to put together a short Tokusatsu (live action special effects) drama based on the [[Kamen Yaiba]] show he watched. With the help of fellow classmate [[Naeko Miike]] rallying the other members, he was able to complete it. He began to suspect that she may like him so he wrote her a love letter, which she responded to by saying that there was a hidden message left in the video room with her answer. Her family then moved away and Chiba was unable to find her answer.

In the present day, he returned to the school and with the help of the [[Detective Boys]] found her response. It was something that only Chiba would have been likely to find because since childhood, he has a tendency to sweat often. Recently Naeko, who joined the police force because of Chiba, has transferred to Tokyo as a patrol woman who works with [[Yumi Miyamoto]]. However, Chiba doesn't seem to recognize her despite having several chances to do so. After realizing that Chiba doesn't recognize her, Naeko has been trying to keep it a secret until he realizes it for himself.<ref name=Naeko>Manga Chapters 741~742: The VHS of Memory Case</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Chiba can be serious, but he is shown to be a mostly light-hearted officer. He loves to eat and is sometimes shown stuffing his face, usually with burgers and sodas, but usually this is merely done for comic effect. Chiba can be very supportive, and is a big help, especially for using his size to catch criminals. He, as well as [[Yumi Miyamoto]], is very supportive for [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]]'s relationship and feelings for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]], and is one of the few officers in the Tokyo district to not get involved in [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Shiratori]]'s schemes to get the couple to break up.

A very notable trait of Chiba praised by his colleagues in Law Enforcement is that he would always follow and uphold the law no matter what the circumstances are, especially when it is he who breaks it. This is one of the main reasons why Naeko liked him in the first place; it was because he scolded her over a traffic violation, saying that doing the wrong thing will develop into a habit that's hard to get rid of. This event also inspired Naeko to join the Police Force as a traffic cop.

He has been a huge fan of ''tokusatsu'' shows like ''[[Kamen Yaiba]]'' and ''[[Gomera]]'' for a long time, and was a member of the broadcasting committee at his elementary school. For a project, he and the other club members made a tokusatsu film called ''Kamen Baiya''. Since then his enjoyment tokusatsu has grown and his apartment seems to be covered in figurines based on the characters.

Chiba seems to be very knowledgeable about Betamax tapes He has a habit of checking VHS tapes to see if they were rewound. He believes he picked this habit up from his older brother.<ref name=Naeko></ref>

[[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] and Chiba are fellow officers in the 1st investigative division (Homicides) of the Metropolian Police, and very good friends and partners. In fact, Chiba was the only male officer in the department who did not harbor an obsessive crush on [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] and would even assist Takagi in his endeavors to win her heart.<ref>[[Volume 33#Sato's Omiai Case|File 330: ''Sato's Feelings'']]</ref> Takagi has even spent the night at Chiba's apartment multiple times and borrowed his T-shirts. <ref>[[Volume 62#Azusa.27s Brother Case|Azusa's Brother Case]]</ref> When Takagi was kidnapped, Chiba maintained the closest proximity to the tablet showing Takagi's fate.<ref>[[Volume 76#Overnight Deadline|804-808]]</ref>

=== [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] ===
Chiba seems to be supportive of Shiratori's relationship and makes fun of him in front of Kobayashi in a similar way to how he treats Takagi.

=== [[Naeko Miike]] ===
{{main|Kazunobu Chiba and Naeko Miike}}
Chiba and [[Naeko Miike|Naeko]] were childhood friends and attended Teitan Elementary together where they both joined the school broadcasting committee (although Naeko only joined because Chiba did). One time Naeko tried to walk over a street despite there was red light, but Chiba stopped her and lectured her about bad habit, which caused her to cry, but also impressed her with his morality. When Naeko was to move away, Chiba wrote down his feelings in a love letter. Naeko wrote her response on the side of a VHS in the committee storage room, hoping Chiba's sweating habit would cause the message "I like you, too" to show up on his hands after grabbing the tape. Unfortunately, Chiba couldn't find the right tape and never got the message.

On the day of his elementary school reunion, Chiba returned to the school and searched for the tape again. With the help of Conan and the [[Detective Boys]], he finally finds the message and heads for the reunion. Unfortunately Naeko doesn't show, and he hears from a former classmate that she said she is "now with the one she loved". Depressed, Chiba immediately leaves and finds a lady traffic cop giving him a ticket. When the officer offers to forget about the ticket since he is a fellow officer, Chiba scolds her for offering to ignore his illegal parking. Chiba leaves with the ticket, but then wonders how the girl knew he was a detective. The officer turns out to be Naeko, who has just been transferred to the police headquarters in Tokyo (working under Yumi) and looks forward to working with the one she loves.<ref name=Naeko></ref>

=== [[Sakurako Yonehara]] ===
Chiba remembers that the person who created the message on the VHS tape (Naeko) was good friends with Sakurako, and they were always together. Sakurako was in the grade level below Chiba.

=== [[Chiba family|Chiba's older brother]] ===
Chiba's older brother worked at a video store where he was required to open the heads of VHS tapes to see if the video had been rewound. Chiba has picked this habit up from him because he thought it was cool.

== Name origin ==
Chiba's name comes from his voice actor [[Isshin Chiba]]. The kanji for {{nihongo|Isshin|一伸}} can also be pronounced as "Kazunobu", which was the voice actor's original name. [[Gosho Aoyama|Gosho]] gave the character a given name with different kanji that are still pronounced as {{nihongo|"Kazunobu" |和伸}}. His original physical appearance was modeled after him as well.

SDB70+ : Q73: Have you established detective Chiba’s first name? 
A: His voice actor’s is Isshin… It might just become Isshin. But everyone with “一” (ichi) in their name is a cool guy… I don’t know what to do. (laughs)

He effectively removed the "一" (ichi) in {{nihongo|Isshin Chiba|千葉一伸}} and changed it to a "和" which can be read as "Kazu" for the original name {{nihongo|Kazunobu Chiba|千葉和伸}}.

'''{{nihongo|Wataru Takagi|高木渉|Takagi Wataru}}''' is a police sergeant and detective from the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police District]]'s Criminal Investigation First Division and the love interest of [[Miwako Sato]].

== Background ==
Wataru Takagi is a newcomer to the Tokyo Police Criminal Investigations Division 1, having transferred after the bomber case about three years ago but by the time [[Shinichi Kudo]] first established his reputation as a detective, about two years ago.<ref>Manga Chapters 204-207: Shinichi's First Case, and Chapters 366-368: Parade Bomber Case</ref> His mentor was a senior agent called Date, who died one year before the present timeline. In his last moments Date entrusted Takagi his notebook, which had a ring for his girlfriend Natalie Kuruma hidden. He kept Date's notebook as a personal motivation to be just as good as Date. It was first a year later he realized that Date's girlfriend was Natalie, but it was too late to give her the ring, because she committed suicide soon after Date's death. He was [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Category:Anime_to_manga_characters first introduced in an Anime original] case at an on location film set.

Ever since his joining the force, Takagi (like so many of his other colleagues) has harbored romantic feelings for [[Miwako Sato]]. While Sato appeared to have taken a liking to him as well, Takagi was easily discouraged by the way she dealt with other male colleagues, including their superior Inspector Megure (though in that case it was more a daughterly affection to a father figure, since Sato's father had died when she was very young).<ref>Manga Chapter 233: Countdown</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 269: Time's Up</ref> In time, thanks to several severe incidents - and despite the interference of the other officers in the department, chiefly [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] -, their professional relationship grew more personal,<ref>Manga Chapters 267-269: Sato's Father Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 366-368: Parade Bomber Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 369-373: Serial Bomber Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 404-406: Missing Ring Case</ref> and finally Sato and Takagi shared their first kiss after he had been hospitalized in the course of a difficult case<ref>Episode 683: The Life-Threating Broadcast of Love (entering the scene)</ref> and kissed the second (and third!) time in Episode 683 when he almost died in a bomb accident.

Takagi is among the investigators who receive the most near fatal experiences. That includes, among many things:
* Handcuffed to the window of a burning warehouse.
* Trapped in a tower containing a countdown bomb.
* Held hostages and shot by the criminal.
* Tied on a plank on a roofless two story building containing a countdown bomb, while the temperature outside is -20 Celsius degree.

Although at some point, Takagi briefly develops PTSD, he nevertheless relentlessly pursues justice, even if it endangers his life.

== Personality ==
While he is initially self-conscious and bumbling, Takagi is a dedicated member of the Tokyo Police Force and shows promise as a good officer as the series progresses. He is one of the few officers who trusts [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s judgments the most, listening to him at case scenes to find important evidence and sometimes even letting Conan take the lead in their investigation (the case with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] handcuffed to the wrong suspect in the bathroom being a good example).<ref>Manga Chapter 232: Finding Evidence</ref>

Takagi has a strong intuition and sense of justice, and is very honorable. He has a strong drive to protect others, partially based in his profession as an officer, and partially based on a self-sacrificing trait in his personality. He is always very polite, even when alarmed, and defers to the judgment of his partner Miwako Sato not only because she is his senior, but because he truly respects her. 

His hobbies are playing the maracas<ref>Manga Chapter 620: The Vanished Blunt Weapon</ref> and following the international wrestling scene, being a fan of wrestlers such as [[Wikipedia: Bruiser Brody|Bruiser Brody]] and [[Wikipedia: Keiji Mutoh|Keiji Mutoh]], and recognizing a move that Ran does as the "Shining Wizard," a finishing move of Mutoh's.<ref>Manga Chapter 388: Wolf's Shadow</ref> In summary, his hobbies involve a lot of martial arts and sports.

== Plot overview ==
=== Actor's Apartment Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|170]]-[[Volume 18|172]], Anime: [[The Historical Actor Murder Case|102-103]]) ===
Takagi makes his debut in the Manga series.

=== Treadmill Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 21|208-210]], Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|146-147]]) ===
This is the first case to show detective Takagi’s romantic affection for a female police officer, [[Miwako Sato]].

Initially, Takagi is tasked with the mission of recording the [[Detective Boys]]' testimonies regarding the events at the [[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case|Blue Castle]]. Just as they're about to begin, the children notice his untidy clothing and wonder if he doesn't have a girlfriend. [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] offers to introduce to him his cousin's granddaughter, but Takagi awkwardly declines, stating that he has already had someone that he likes, right before detective [[Miwako Sato]] enters the room. Takagi keeps blushing, and his unnatural manner in front of Sato makes the Detective Boys think that she is really his girlfriend. However, both of them denies that this is true. Takagi wonders why Sato didn't go to assist [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] in the bank robbery case, and learns that the bank manager, together with his wife, will arrive at the Police Headquarter. Sato asks Takagi whether he has heard anything from her friend Yumi. He silently recalls Yumi's words, about what Sato told her when she was drunk, that the person she likes is someone from the first investigation division, who may very well be Takagi himself.

The bank manager, Keizo Masuo, comes by himself and decides to call his wife. During the phone call, Takagi and the others suddenly hear the wife's scream. He, Sato, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and Keizo rush to Keizo's house and find his wife's dead body. The person to be in charge of this murder case is Inspector [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], a police officer who has just been promoted recently. When Sato sarcastically suggests that Shiratori may as well consider her "a possible wedding match", Takagi misunderstands and begins to suspect that the person whom Sato said she has feelings for is none other than Shiratori. He keeps thinking of unreal scenarios with Shiratori and Sato being together, and isn't able to fully concentrate on the case.

Later, with the help from Conan, the trick and the identity of the killer are uncovered, and the case goes to an end. After turning down the invitation of Shiratori, Sato invites Takagi to go out and have ramen for dinner, to which he accepts happily. Unexpectedly, a drunken Megure comes up and asks them to go for a drink with him at the bar, and Sato immediately approves of the idea despite the invitation to Takagi earlier. Because of this, Takagi suddenly suspects that Sato's love interest is in fact Inspector Megure, and declines the offer.

The case ends with a depressed Takagi lying on the table and being unable to do anything, even though he still hasn't taken the Detective Boys' testimonies yet.

=== Genta's Shot (Manga: [[Volume 55|567-569]], Anime: [[Genta's Certain Kill Shot|477]]) ===
In the anime, episode 477, at 11:50, Takagi is heard speaking numbers in French. In one of the Japanese Audio/English subtitles, his words are translated as "eins, zwei, drei," which is German, but he is actually saying "un, deux, trois." The victim was German, and Agasa says that when the dying victim (who spoke German, English and Japanese) was asked who the culprit was, he answered in his native tongue. Megure then turns to Takagi, who starts counting in French. Agasa then corrects him, saying "That's French," and then proceeds to count from one to eleven in German, solving the case. This exchange does not take place in the manga. This could suggest that Takagi is bilingual in French and Japanese (or at least took French in school).

[[File:681-7.png|thumb|200px|Takagi kidnapped.]]
[[File:Takagi and Sato second kiss.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Takagi and Sato's second kiss.]]
Takagi is kidnapped by a mystery man misunderstanding he is [[Wataru Date]] who made his daughter commit suicide. Around a year after the death of his friend and mentor Date, Takagi discovered that a suicide victim Natalie Kuruma was Date's girlfriend. Since the police investigation assumed that she killed herself due to having been dump, Takagi concluded that Natalie didn't know that Date had passed away in a traffic accident and decided to contact Natalie's next-of-kin to inform them of the truth. Since Natalie's parents had passed away, Takagi contacted the one who claimed her possessions, a colleague from English conversation school and old friend, Ryusaku Fuemoto. But due to that Natalie had never told her family her boyfriend's family name and because Date and Takagi had the same given name, Ryusaku mistook Takagi as the boyfriend who dumped Natalie, and lured him to Hokkaido. Police officers including [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Superintendent Matsumoto]] and [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] find their way to save Takagi with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s help. [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] saves Takagi on time before the bomb under him exploded.

=== A Missing Item Case (Manga: [[Volume 82|869-871]], Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9|748-749]]) ===
Takagi sees Sato is hesitates when thinking about that she's expecting some lost. Takagi thinks that she might be pregnant. The thing Sato was actually missing was her red badge which is given to all officers in the 1st Division. The whole pregnancy situation was a huge misunderstanding.

=== A Killer in Ramen Ogura (Manga: [[Volume 88|930]], Anime: [[Ramen So Good, It's to Die For 2|828]]) ===
Takagi and Sato put on disguise to catch the culprit at a ramen shop. It's again stated that they're sexually active, as Sato tells Takagi that she plans to work out *intensely* that night to burn out calories (implying that she wants to have sex with him) and is mad when he misses the point of her remark.

=== Wataru Date's Notebook (Manga: [[Volume 101|1079]]-[[Volume 102|1081]], Anime: TPD) ===

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Prior to manga appearances ===
Takagi was originally introduced as an [[anime]] only character to assist [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] as well as [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] with the solutions to cases. He was inserted into both Manga canon episodes as well as TV originals. He appeared in 23 episodes spanning 20 cases before the [[The Historical Actor Murder Case|anime adaptation]] of his [[Volume 18#Actor.27s Apartment Case|first official Manga appearance]] aired.

=== On Location, TV Drama Murder Case (Anime: [[Episode 21|21]])===
Takagi's first appearance in the [[anime]] series.

=== TV Station Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 11#TV Station Murder Case|102-104]], Anime: [[Episode 31|31]])===
The first Manga canon episode to feature Takagi despite him still being an Anime Original character at the time.

=== [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan]] ===
When [[Lupin III]] arrived in Japan to steal a jewel called the Cherry Sapphire, [[Inspector Zenigata]] of the ICPO asked to use some of Inspector Megure's officers as part of a plan to prevent the theft. After seeing Miwako eagerly volunteer to join Zenigata's team (as Lupin was her first love), Takagi took part in the operation as well. However, at the scene of the planned crime, it was revealed that Takagi was actually Lupin, who had replaced Takagi after stealing his clothing and identity. After the heist, [[Yumi Miyamoto]] and [[Naeko Miike]] discovered the real Takagi stripped, bound and gagged inside a parking garage.

== List of disguises used ==
In one case, [[Parade of Malice and Saint]], he wore a disguise that by remarkable coincidence resembled [[Jinpei Matsuda]], Sato's late partner.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Miwako Sato ===
[[File:Episode 535 - Sato and Takagi kiss.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sato and Takagi.]]
{{main|Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato}}
His affection for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] is a driving force of his character development. While his insecurity and comical outside interference regularly gets in the way, he slowly manages to win her heart through his dedication, honesty and sincerity - traits Sato had also admired in her late colleague [[Jinpei Matsuda]]. Sato finally kisses Takagi after he has been severely wounded while protecting others.

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Takagi has come the closest of any of the Division One members to finding out [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s true identity. [[File: EP391 1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Takagi.]]

In The Man From Chicago, Episode 258-259, When Conan is telling the police officers present about the Panda colors of the Police Cars, and that the younger generation may not know this information about their black and white cars, Takagi asks himself, "What generation is this kid from?"

In the Tokyo Tower Bomber Case, while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime, [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], as Conan, told Takagi that he would answer Takagi's questions about his real identity "on the other side."

Takagi has also come to acknowledge Conan's sharp mind and intellect, taking Conan's observations seriously and even allowing him to accompany him to question suspects, most notably during the New Scar and the Whistling Man Case where he has the rest of the Detective Boys remain in the car.

He also fully supports Takagi's relationship with Sato, at one point orchestrated a plan to foil Shiratori's attempt of an arranged marriage with Sato. When asked for reasons, he didn't answer, but quietly relate the experience with Ran's relationship.

=== Kazunobu Chiba ===
[[File: EP526 4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kazunobu and Takagi.]]
Takagi and [[Kazunobu Chiba]] always work together on murder cases. Chiba is also the only male officer in their department who has had no obsessive crush on Sato, and in fact supported Takagi in his romantic endeavors on several occasions.

=== Wataru Date ===
[[Wataru Date|Date]] was Takagi's mentor and close friend who passed away in a traffic accident. As the pronunciation of his name was the same as Wataru Takagi's, Takagi and Date were nicknamed "the Wataru brothers" (ワタル・ブラザーズ). He is very loyal to his late friend's memory, as demonstrated when he tried to clear out misunderstanding around the death of Date's girlfriend. And he feels guilty in not living up to what he believes was Date's last wish; Giving Natalie a ring hidden in the notebook. He couldn't give her the ring, because Natalie had committed suicide soon after Date's death.

=== Other ===
In the 16th movie, "The Eleventh Striker," Takagi mentions that he saw a football (soccer) game with his nephew, but does not give a name. This implies that he has at least one sibling.

== Character popularity ==
* eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character.

* In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Takagi placed 10th overall with 226 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

* He ranked 9th in the SDB 80+'s poll "Characters you want to marry the most", with 446 votes.

== Name origin ==
* Takagi is named after his voice actor. In the anime he was originally a nameless character called "Detective A" who would appear in the background in some episodes<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp/nl/articles/1603/29/news079.html|title=声優・高木渉が「PON!」に生出演　高木刑事＆元太の声で映画「名探偵コナン」をアピール|date=2016-03-29|publisher=https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp|accessdate=2019-06-04}}</ref>. However while recording for [[Night Road Murder Case|episode 66]], Megure's voice actor [[Chafurin]] adlibbed asking Detective A "What's your name?", to which Takagi's voice actor mistakenly responded with his own name and replied "It's Takagi" <ref>{{cite web|url=https://otapol.com/2016/01/post-5345.html|title=大河ドラマ『真田丸』に『コナン』の高木刑事が出陣中!?　ベテラン声優・高木渉の人気にNHKも東スポも驚く！|date=2016-01-17|publisher=https://otapol.com|accessdate=2019-06-04}}</ref>. While this ad-lib was not kept in for the airing, the name stuck and is used in this episode and beyond. Gosho included the name Wataru Takagi since it is also the name of a Detective created by Kenzo Kitakata named Yoshibumi '''Taka'''gi where only the first kanji in the surname is similar (高 - Taka).

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] takes the [[Detective Boys]] with him to an onsen (hot spring) to fix a product the Onsen owner purchased from him. At the onsen, the kids are introduced to four cast members filming a drama about a hitman. Since the bath is crowded, the kids decide to bathe in the early morning. As they head to the bath, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] discover Ganji Tetsuyama, the scriptwriter, inside the bath's women section, dead.

The police arrive and conclude that Tetsuyama slipped on a soap bar and hit his head on one of the rocks. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] reveals it's in fact a murder, and points out that the pools of water on the victim's body reveals that the culprit washed something off and deduces it to be blood. The police assume the culprit waited at the veranda for the victim before committing the murder and begin searching for people entering the sauna without alibis; the suspects are the three other cast members.

==== Part 2 ====
As the police continue their investigation, they discover a plastic tea bottle filled with water in the dressing room, match cinders floating on the water, and Tetsuyama's silver-gemed ring. It is also revealed that all the suspects have been seen in the hotel after the sauna was closed disproving their previous theory.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan uses his voice-changing bowtie to impersonate Agasa, and reveals that the one waiting on the veranda was Tetsuyama, and the Tetsuyama spotted heading to the sauna was the culprit, '''Junsaku Tanzawa''', in disguise. Conan explains Tanzawa tricked the lecherous Tetsuyama into staying in the women's sauna all night in order to see the naked Mishio Natori taking a bath; this is evidenced by the bottle in the dressing room which Tetsuyama used to stay hydrated, and the match cinders used to smoke his pipe.

As evidence towards Tanzawa as the culprit, Conan reveals that he was completely engrossed in pretending to be Tetsuyama that he took the latter's silver ring without noticing - and that the ring was stained by the sulphur in the bath's hot steam, proving that the murder has been committed inside the bath. Also, the fact that he would barge into the women section of the bath, with certain knowledge that there were "only" two little girls and no adult woman inside, reveals that he must have known more than he wanted to show.

Tanzawa confesses and laments how Tetsuyama denied him of his prided role in the drama because he was afraid of being overshadowed as a script writer. Later, Conan has Agasa inspect an irritation at his behind. Haibara appears along with Ayumi and reveals that she placed chili pepper in Conan's underwear in order to catch him in an exposed position, as revenge for seeing her and Ayumi - if only by accident - naked and uncautiously making off-hand comments about it afterwards.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* The onsen from this episode is based on Jozankei Onsen at Minami Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido.

Kogoro is hired by the Torada family to solve the murder of Yoshiro Torada. Yoshiro was swept away by a tornado and was found by an unknown culprit, who instead of helping him, left a dead centipede beside Yoshiro and left him to die. They believe the culprit is from the Tatsuo family, a family whom they share a mutual hatred for.

At the same time, Heiji is hired by the Tatsuo family to investigate the death of their son, Koji Tatsuo, who was found buried under a pile of rocks, bludgeoned to death, and had a dead centipede placed beside his body. It was placed there, meaning that someone found him dying, but refused to help him.

During the investigation, Conan, Heiji, run into a third detective named Kansuke Yamato who is investigating the same case. Their investigations lead them to believe the victims and serial killer are somehow related to an incident six years ago, where a respectable officer name Kuroto Kai was found dead during his mounted archery practice. They learn that Kai's body, which sustained injuries from falling off a cliff, died of emaciation which means he was still alive after his fall and that someone left him to die.

That night, Ran and Kazuha spot the shadow of a moving Takeda Shingen armor. When Ayaka Tatsuo, hears of this, she becomes hysterical and locks herself in the bathroom. Moments later, Ayaka is found hanged on a tree with a gag around her mouth and a dead centipede under her body.

They learn from the Tatsuo family that the centipedes are a reference to Takeda Shingen's soldiers which were referred to as, "The Centipedes". The families also revealed that the three victims along with Akira Tatsuo and Shigetsugu Torada were digging around and searching for Takeda Shingen's legendary treasure. Conan and Heiji's investigations lead them to believe the murderer is following the Furinkazan and that the next culprit shall die in a death related to fire. Elsewhere, Shigetsugu combusts into flames near a railroad track.

Kansuke Yamato reveals that Shigetsugu hooked his fishing rod onto the railroads power lines resulting in his death. He shows them Shigetsugu's diary which explains that the four victims were the cause of Kuroto Kai's death and deduces that Shigetsugu was the culprit who murdered the three victims before committing suicide. Conan and Heiji investigate Ayaka's crime scene and learn from the forensic team that Ayaka's hand had blue eye liner on it and realize who the true murderer is.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>In Akira's training room, Akira and Yui Torada confront the real murderer, '''Tatsue Torada''', the current wife of the head of the Torada family. Yui reveals that she knows that Tatsue is the true murderer through Ayaka's dying message "blue eye shadow" (Aokage) which points to Tatsue who was riding a black horse at the time.

She alse reveals there were two more lines to the Furinkazan, the lines referring to shadow and lightning; She reveals that Shigetsugu's death was lightning, Kai's was shadow, and Akira will be fire in order to complete the Furinkazan. She explains that the blue eyeliner on Ayaka's hand was a dying message; The kanji for blue was referring to dark bay, meaning a dark horse and the one riding a dark horse was Tatsue.

She explains that Tatsue wants to murder Akira, because she is involved in a betting business concerning the archery. If Akira never missed a shot during his mounted archery, no one would want to bet. Tatsue confesses to all the murders including Kai's death and her plans to murder Akira. Kai's death had been for the same reason, since he, like Akira, had never missed a shot. She reveals that she simply fired her gun at the horse’s feet causing both Kai and his horse to plunge to their deaths.

She also reveals how those who she killed felt like they had caused Kai’s death. Heiji, Conan, and Kansuke who were waiting to ambush Tatsue reveal themselves and apprehend her.

Hopefully, her gang is disarmed since many unexpected people appears to have known the truth and confronted her: Heiji, Conan and inspector Yamato who arrive to take the criminals down and as always, Conan gets the best part by shooting his soccer ball at the boss (Tatsue).

=== Situation ===

==== The Case ====
Sonoko invites Ran, to attend a meeting full of avid magic fans she met online. After dropping her off at the snowy lodge, Conan and Kogoro return home. During the ride, they hear on the radio that one of the members, Tsutomu Nishiyama, is found dead in his home and that his dying message was the name Dark Master, one of the members of the club.

Conan rushes back to the lodge only to find out the only bridge across is on fire. Fearing for Ran's life, Conan rushes through the bridge before it collapses and arrives at the lodge, though he inhales so much smoke that he passes out once he steps on its gate so Ran and Sonoko have to take care of him. Toshiya Hamano is later found dead ten metres from the lodge.

Conan wonders how the murder was done since no footprint was found in the snow.

==== The Suspicion ====
The members of the lodge decide to leave the Hamano's body untouched to preserve the crime scene and retreat back into the lodge. They discuss among themselves and believe that the club member with the Username Dark Master is the murderer.

Conan, Ran, Kikue Tanaka, and Katsuki Doito head upstairs to retrieve a sweater. While upstairs, an arrow breaks through the window and almost hits them. At the same time, another arrow breaks through the window on the bottom floor. The people of the lodge head outside to investigate and find a crossbow on the ground. The people begin to believe that the culprit is an outsider of the club. Conan investigates and notices that there was evidence that something was stapled to the outside of the house. Conan realizes how the murders are done.

==== The Resolution ====
Conan recreates the crossbow attack on the top floor and lures everyone outside.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Using a tranquilizer, Conan knocks Sonoko out and reveals the culprit to be '''Kikue Tanaka'''. Conan reveals that the crossbow incident was simple, Kikue pulled a string with an object at the end to break the window, and fired a concealed crossbow to create the idea the attack was coming from the outside. She did the same for the bottom window but had the arrow stuck to the mirror prepared beforehand. As for Hamano's murder, Kikue strangled him, and using resilient strings, fired them from the balcony to the forest until there was enough to support Hamano's weight. She then tied a string around Hamano's body and used the positioned string to slide the body downwards. She then tied all the strings into another arrow and fired it off. As evidence, Conan reveals that the arrows were specialized to have string connected to them and that they should be found on Tanaka's body somewhere.

Once all of this is explained, Tanaka confesses to the murder and being "Dark Master" and reveals that the group members online prompted her grandfather, Huden Harui, a famous magician, to attempt a dangerous trick which resulted in his death. While she accepted that the accident was her grandfather own fault, she couldn't forgive the comments from both Nishiyama and Hamano about his failure. Conan meanwhile confronts Katsuki Doito and reveals that his name is the anagram for Kaitou Kid. Kaitou Kid reveals that he saw that someone was on the magician's account and wanted to investigate it, and escapes the lounge with the use of his hang glider.

{{EndBox}}</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Huden Harui's name comes from [[wikipedia:Harry Houdini|Harry Houdini]] who was also known as an escape king.
* In this episode, Kaito says to Conan, "Before the Bell announcing the century's end rings..." just as he flew off in his hang glider, which may have something to do with this case being originally aired in January to February of the year 1999 and that his next appearance is in [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Kudo Shinichi vs. Kaitou Kid]], which aired in 2001. The bell could have also been a reference to the next case Kid appears in, as it is about the [[Clock Tower (Black Star)|Clock Tower]] heist.
* When Sonoko says her favourite magician is Kaitou Kid, every other magic club member disagrees that he should deserve respect, as he is a thief, except for Doito, who aknowledges his fame, a hint towards his real identity.
* The Nagano Prefecture snow mountains painting in Ara lodge is from [[Ski Lodge Murder Case#Trivia|Ski Lodge Murder Case]]. The beginning snow scene reappears in a painting in Yokosuka Castle from from [[The Last Wizard of the Century]] and in Tenbu Station from [[The Entrance to the Maze: The Anger of the Colossus#Trivia|The Entrance to the Maze: The Anger of the Colossus]].

'''{{nihongo|Makoto Kyogoku|京極真|Kyōgoku Makoto}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]'' and love interest of [[Sonoko Suzuki]].

== Background ==
Makoto attended Haido High School, where he was a prominent member, and eventually the captain, of his karate team and became known as "The Prince of Kicks". He noticed [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] cheering on her friend [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] with great vigour during a martial arts tournament, and became interested in her.<ref name=Summer>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref>

Some time later, he worked in his family's inn as a waiter, where he encountered Sonoko again, this time in company of Ran and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].<ref name=Summer/> Soon, however, Sonoko was stalked by a crazed serial killer who suspected her of having taken a picture of him at his latest murder (which she hadn't) and therefore wanted to both silence her as a potential witness and kill her because he hated brunette girls in general. Makoto saved her just in the nick of time, earning her affection, but his constant participation in martial arts competitions and a studying period overseas prevented them from seeing each other often enough.<ref name=Summer/> Sonoko always does her best to maintain contact with him, though, including sending him little trinkets and gifts that she makes herself, and Makoto has stayed loyal to her. He usually gets caught up in one of Sonoko's silly romantic schemes. His fighting skills have proven to be incredibly handy for Conan, having saved Conan, Sonoko, and Ran from being in dangerous peril many times.

== Personality ==
As a master martial artist, Makoto is usually cool, calm and collected, especially in crisis situations, and also a keen observer. At times, he can also adopt a very intimidating aura, making him appear very fearsome. In the TV Original episode "[[The Mystery of the Vanished Black Belt]]", it is explained that he adopted these personality facets following an encounter with the renowned martial artist and teacher Tatsuhito Takami in his youth.

The only thing which does throw Makoto off is his affection for Sonoko, for whom he will go to great lengths, even forsake an important tournament just to meet her. However, Makoto's bashfulness around her, his dedication to his fighting skills and some competitive impulse keep him jumping from one obligation to the other, so their relationship is rendered a bit difficult. But at one point, Sonoko introduces Makoto to her parents, and they eventually approve of him.

Makoto's upbringing must have been rather conservative, since he doesn't quite approve (or at least expresses puzzlement about) Sonoko wearing modern, revealing clothes and therefore worries about her catching a cold whenever he sees her like this. Makoto always wears a band-aid above his left brow as a stereotypical mark for his fighting competitiveness. In ''[[The Fist of Blue Sapphire]]'', the band-aid is shown to bear a photo from one of his dates with Sonoko on the inside, making it his personal talisman.

He is also a little careless like in his first appearance which made him a suspect, in episode 744-745 he sleep soundly in a car and didn't notice something happen which made yamamura to think him as a suspect and in file 1022 when he was practicing for film a man come and man said don't mind him, but when he wasn't paying attention the man was murdered and he became main suspect for case but the case was solved and he stopped culprit from committing suicide.

Despite this, he is also well-mannered and serious like when Sonoko introduce him to her parents he was polite and was ready to help Suzuki family to protect the jewel that Kaitou kid want to steal and helping a woman which seems to be a hostage and stopping culprit from committing suicide.

== Appearance ==
Makoto is a tall and well-built man of tan complexion. He has short black-hair with comparatively longer bangs and large eyebrows. He is noted to be very handsome. When not competing, he is often seen wearing wide glasses. He is constantly seen with a band-aid across the outer corned of his left eyebrow, which conceals a scar.

== Abilities and skills==
=== Martial arts ===
[[File:Poor Criminals.png|thumb|right|200px|Makoto Kyogoku sending various criminals flying from the ground (notice the height).]]
Makoto is depicted as one of the most powerful martial artists in the series. In reference to his incredible ability, he is nicknamed the "Prince of Kicks". He has acquired championships in some international Karate tournaments.<ref>[[The Revival of the Dying Message|Episode 173: "The Revival of the Dying Message"]]</ref><ref>[[White Day of Betrayal|Episode 609: "White Day of Betrayal"]]</ref> Makoto also had a 400 win streak from matches around the world that was broken only when he skipped a tournament to be introduced to Sonoko's parents and lost by default.<ref name=862p2>Manga [[Volume 82|Volume 82, File 1 (862), pg 2: "Iron Wall"]]</ref>

Makoto's extraordinary might has repeatedly been seen against criminals carrying weapons and firearms.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red /> As a show of his ability, Makoto was surrounded by 11 men armed with BB pistols. Despite wearing a gasmask that limited his field of view, he caught all the BBs they fired and knocked out all 11 men.<ref name=862p11>Manga [[Volume 82|Volume 82, File 1 (862), pg 11: "Iron Wall"]]</ref> In another case, his unarmed combat skills send a huge group of gangsters armed with swords to the ground with no injuries suffered on his person, despite the latters' vastly superior numeric strength.<ref name=Red /> Even his kick alone can break the enemy's sword into two.<ref name=V52>[[Volume 52|Volume 52, File 543: "Superman"]]</ref> The people who have suffered from his attacks are usually depicted with severe injuries, such as bleeding or losing some teeth. Many often pass out or become unable to move.<ref name=V52 />

=== Physical Prowess ===
[[File:bowling.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Makoto accidentally throws a bowling ball.]]
Makoto is shown to be able to throw a bowling ball all the way to the end of its lane (and smashing a hole into its headboard) when he tries to play bowling with Sonoko.<ref name=V81>[[Volume 81|Volume 81, File 859: "Jeet Kune Do vs Karate"]]</ref> He has also been known to bring down a building pillar by repeatedly kicking and punching it,<ref>[[Volume 82#Twin Bets|Manga: 862-864 "Twin Bets"]], [[Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku|Anime: 746-747: "Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku"]]</ref> and lift the tail of a van running at full speed to stop it from ramming a wall.<ref name=V97>[[Volume 97|Volume 97, File 1026: "TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case"]]</ref> Makoto is fast and agile, showing remarkable flips and leaping might and likewise able to move about seamlessly with free-running skills. His observational skills and quick reaction time enable him to dodge a bullet<ref name=Valentine/> and block sword slashes.<ref name=Red/> Makoto seems completely immune to pain, dismissing a knife sticking in his arm as nothing too significant.<ref name=Summer/>

He shown to know tennis in [[Conan in a Locked Room]] case. Makoto was able to dodge a bullet from a rifle which speed was 1000 meters per second. Makoto take a knife strike to hand, got injury with fighting with a drunk man and smash a pillar which he got bruise from it but didn't feel anything.

=== Keen mind ===
Makoto is shown to have an astute mind due to his extensive training, being able to identify Kaitou Kid disguised as Sonoko because of a difference in finger lengths. This is possible because he can take full dimensions of a person he meets in moments. It is a habit of analyzing his opponents physical features with a glance. In The Fist of Blue Sapphire, Kaito Kid and Conan had to distance themselves from Makoto throughout their trip in Singapore due to the two disguising in other identities through the trip and knowing Matoko would spot them out if he “pays attention towards them for too long”. He is also shown to be a quick study, able to memories a fight scene's choreography for a movie shortly after being given the part.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Makoto's family ===
Not much is known about Makoto's family except for that Makoto's father owns the Kawaraya Inn that Conan, Ran, and Sonoko stayed at in Izu. During the summer, Makoto occasionally helps at the hotel and works as a waiter at the Nagisa Sea Shop restaurant located on the nearby beach.<ref name=Summer /> In [[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]] Makoto mentions that his younger sister requested that he tape "The Maple Leaves of Winter" for her.<ref>[[Volume 52#File 543 - Superman|Volume 52, File 543 "Superman", page 17]]: "実はあのドラマ、妹に頼まれてビデオに録っていたんですが…" ("Actually, my sister asked me to record that drama for her.")</ref>

=== Sonoko Suzuki ===
{{main|Sonoko Suzuki and Makoto Kyogoku}}
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while vacationing, where he was a waiter at a restaurant and worked at his family's inn in his spare time. At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. After he later protects her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer, Sonoko and Makoto entertain a long distance relationship while Makoto goes to study abroad, which is additionally hampered by the fact that he tends to be a little bashful around her.<ref name=Summer />
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]

Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=Valentine>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=Red>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> Sonoko loves to use some kind of concocted scheme to get Makoto to come to her, usually in some romantic way, to create a romantic and dreamy experience for her.<ref name=Red/> This, however, doesn't always end in success, but he sometimes does stumble through her little schemes.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red/> He often warns her of the way she is dressed, because he believes that guys will try to come after her because of it.<ref name=Summer/><ref name=Valentine/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=Megure>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=Pottery>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her bag, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=Photo>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him a chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=Valentine/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=Valentine/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, and despite her constant flirting with any other attractive boy she stumbles upon, Sonoko has generally stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else. Makoto also stays faithful to Sonoko.
{{clearleft}}

=== [[Tatsuhito Takami]] ===
When Makoto was in elementary school when he went on a family trip on Osaka he met Tatsuhito,Tatsuhito was a karate master makoto fought him once and when he couldn't defeat him,Tatsuhito told him win without fighting, Makoto took those words to heart,it was also explained that he adopted his personality traits from Tatsuhito,even right now Makoto has respect for him.

Voice-Changing Bowtie

The Voice-Changing Bowtie is the first gadget created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] for [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].

== Description ==

By turning the dial on the back Conan is able to imitate all kinds of voices that he hears. When Conan isn't wearing the bowtie, he'll usually store it away in a pocket until he needs it. This gadget is usually used together with the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], prior to receiving it, Conan was shown to knock Kogoro unconscious by kicking an ashtray.

Voice changing bow tie has a megaphone mode as shown in File 998.

There is a white version of the bow tie as shown only in episode 505-506, and 520.

=== Technical details ===

[[File:vlcsnap-2019-01-05-11h48m34s096.png|thumb|left|Bowtie Specifications]]
The theory behind the Voice-Changing Bowtie is that it works on a frequency modifier system based on patterns from the voice it is to emulate. Voice changers are real technology.

In the real world the Voice-Changing Bowtie has many flaws, such as the frequency response for the size of the speakers in the bowtie wouldn't be able to reproduce frequency of a voice realistically. The frequency modifier, in most cases, wouldn't be able reproduce the subtle but also distinguishable variations of another persons voice. In order to even change the sound in the first place they will need components such as a mic, speaker, processor and powerful batteries to keep it all running. Last but not least the Voice-Changing Bowtie needs to have Conan voice inverted to cancel out his voice completely, otherwise it would be present and noticeable. As this is a fictional drama with many factual references take it with a grain of salt that this is subject to a persons imagination, but these types of technology can and will be possible in the near future if they utilise extremely thin and small magnetic speakers which can accurately reproduce the frequencies accordingly, and the other components reduce drastically in size.

==Usage==
''Under Construction''

In most cases, Conan will use the bowtie to simulate Kogoro's voice; and less frequently Sonoko's to solve a case. However, in some unique situations, Conan used the bowtie to take other people's voices. The voice-changing function on the bowtie works by turning the dial behind the left bow to a different preset number. In the anime [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Luxury_Liner_Serial_Murder_Case Episode 23], Conan mentioned in his inner speech that Kogoro Mouri's voice is stored in preset number 59.
===Kogoro Mouri===
Below is the list of episodes in which Conan mimicked Kogoro's voice. "???" means that the information needs to be verified.

Sonoko's primary character traits are her impulsiveness, her temper and sense for romanticism. She often acts without thinking ahead, thereby usually dragging [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (and by extension, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]) into her schemes<ref name=e457-458>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> or firing her mouth away with wild tales.<ref name=m94>[[Volume 94#Crimson School Trip Case|Manga Volume 94, File 1000: ''Crimson School Trip Case'']]</ref> Often she acts very insensitively to other's feelings; while she encourages Ran to take her relationship with [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] to a higher level, she just as much enjoys teasing her best friend and beholding her embarrassment.<ref name=m22>[[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|Manga Volume 22, File 219: ''Sonoko's Camera Case'']]</ref><ref name=m25>[[Volume 25#Skating Rink Case|Manga Volume 25, File 243: ''Skating Rink Case'']]</ref><ref name=m72>[[Volume 72#Horror Show|Manga Volume 72, File 756: ''Horror Show Case'']]</ref><ref name=m94/> Despite coming from a very wealthy family and fully enjoying such a pampered lifestyle, Sonoko surprisingly humble about it. Never trying to buy popularity and friends or bride her way to get what she wants, Sonoko appreciates getting things that matter and for the right reasons.

At the series' start, Sonoko's primary interest was in boys and in trying to snag the "perfect boy". She often tried multiple avenues to attract a boyfriend, including dressing up specifically to attract a boy, making a boy chocolates,<ref name=e6>[[Valentine Murder Case|Episode 6: Valentine Murder Case]]</ref> trying to impress a boy while wearing a bikini,<ref name=e72>[[The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case|Episode 72: The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case]]</ref> or going to various events that young guys were going to attend.<ref name=e84-85>[[Ski Lodge Murder Case|Episode 84-85: Ski Lodge Murder Case]]</ref> Whenever Ran's company diverts the attention of Sonoko's target, Sonoko feels jealous and disappointed (although this has never affected their friendship).<ref name=e34-35>[[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|Episode 34-35: Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]]</ref> However, this changed when Sonoko met and began dating [[Makoto Kyogoku|Makoto]]. Although Sonoko is still easily attracted to other men,<ref>[[Volume 61#Paper Airplane Case|Manga Chapter 638: Paper Airplane]]</ref> she is loyal to Makoto and tries to act the way she thinks a girlfriend should, including making him gifts<ref name=e228-229/> and planning romantic rendezvous.<ref name=e457-458/>

Sonoko loves to go on big vacations, like expensive ski trips,<ref name=e84-85/> and loves to buy fancy clothes and items.<ref name=e217-218/> She is also a big fan of the band LEX,<ref name=e42>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> and various other people in pop music, including [[Two-Mix]].<ref name=e81-82>[[The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case|Episode 81-82: The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case]]</ref>

Conan has had to use Sonoko sometimes when he needs to do a deduction show. At first he struggled to mimic Sonoko's mannerisms and feminine speech patterns, but now he is better at it.<ref name=e79>[[The Bank Heist Murder Case|Episode 79: The Bank Heist Murder Case]]</ref> However, because he has had to use Sonoko so often for a deduction, she, like [[Kogoro Mouri]], has completely bought into her whole "sleeping" person, calling herself the best detective in [[Setting#Teitan High School|Teitan High School]], and a "Deduction Queen."<ref name=e79/> This makes Conan sometimes regret using her to solve a case, though he does admire her courage in certain situations. Sonoko is sometimes able to solve little things on her own, and can figure things out when she is provided some assistance by Conan, such as when Conan was sick and had to communicate to Sonoko, Kogoro, and [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]] in charades and sign language.<ref name=e331-332>[[The Suspicious Spicy Curry|Episode 331-332: The Suspicious Spicy Curry]]</ref>

Like many other people, Sonoko is a big fan of the [[Kaitou Kid]], due to his style, charm and daring exploits. She keeps cheering him on in trying to steal something, even when that 'something' is a rare treasure of the Suzuki family. She wishes to meet Kid up close (and have it develop into something more), and sometimes almost gets her wish, but is very disappointed at the ultimate failure.<ref name=e356>[[Kaitou Kid's Miraculous Midair Walk|Episode 356: Kaitou Kid's Miraculous Midair Walk]]</ref>

In non canon she also loves to go to festivals where sugary sweets are on display, often picking up gigantic plates filled with various cakes.<ref name=e368>[[The Candy House the Witch Lives In|Episode 368: The Candy House the Witch Lives In]]</ref><ref>Beware of Dieting</ref>She has even used [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] for the sole purpose of having a children's discount on food.<ref name=e547-548>[[Two Days with the Culprit|Episode 547-548: Two Days with the Culprit]]</ref>

She also speaks too politely and formally toward some people for example she refers her uncle as Oji-sama rather than Oji-san also he calls Kogoro same and Eri as Oba-sama,she also calls the guests Okyaku-sama,but she calls her father and mother Papa and Mama,and her sister aneiki.

Despite her brave personality like normal girls she screams at sight of a deadbody.

== Appearance ==
When not in the Teitan High School uniform, Sonoko often wears a bandanna holding back her fringe, a skirt, and a cute shirt. Her clothes often show more skin compared to Ran, mostly for the purpose of attracting guys. In [[Countdown to Heaven]], she temporarily changes her hairstyle to a perm.

== Plot overview ==
=== Deduction Queen Sonoko (Manga: [[Volume 5#Bandaged Man Case|40-44]], Anime: [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|34-35]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko35.png|thumb|left|200px|Deduction Queen Sonoko appears!]]
Conan and Ran visit Sonoko's mountain villa to see the autumn leaves and meet up with some old friends. On the way to the front they see a strange bandaged man in a dark cloak crossing the bridge. When they see him turn around, they are shocked at his face, as he quickly makes a retreat around the side of the house. Everything seems fine as Ran tries to find her room, accidentally walking in on the men also staying the house. When everyone is asked about the bandaged man he is brushed off as possibly a crazy man with nothing better to do. However, he is taken far more seriously when Ran is attacked in the woods, but the attacker is scared off by Conan, and later one of the women is seen being carried off by him from the windows. Conan and the other men chase him and find her dismembered body in the woods.

Everyone decides that it's best to go to bed for the night, when he strikes again, this time trying to kill Ran in her sleep. Conan saves Ran by waking her up to defend herself, but when the bandaged man retreats Conan wonders why Ran is a target. Everyone decides to stay up for the night and keep together to throw off the murderous man. Conan suspects that Ran saw something that made her a target, and the culprit is one of the people staying there. Despite having solved the case, Conan cannot present the solution, since his usual mouthpiece Kogoro isn't there to be put to sleep. So, he decides to solve the case through Ran. When he shoots the anaesthetic needle, however, Sonoko ends up in the way and she falls asleep. Left with no choice, Conan reveals the killer via Sonoko. While Sonoko doesn't remember making the deductions, she is very proud at having "solved" the case.

=== An Important Date (Manga: [[Volume 11#Coffee Shop Case|105-107]], Anime: [[Coffee Shop Murder Case|32]]) ===
At the end of the case, Conan asks Ran if she was meeting Shiro Wakaoji, a young man who was in the coffee shop with plans to take advantage of a "naive" teenage girl he met while skiing, despite his already having a girlfriend. She says no, but Shiro tries to flirt with her just before Sonoko announces her presence—Sonoko was his intended date, but she overheard Conan revealing Shiro's intentions. She slaps Shiro and storms away.

=== Makoto's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|219-221]], Anime: [[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|153-154]]) ===
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan go to Izu, where Sonoko's schemes to get a boyfriend. At the beach, Sonoko takes a picture of Ran fixing her bathing suit and threatens to send the picture to Shinichi (since she likes teasing Ran and Shinichi frequently about being an "old married couple"). Sonoko also laments about her lack of a love life, just before a college student, Michiwaki, asks her out to lunch. Ecstatic at the romantic attention, she agrees to lunch and then to dinner as well. However, due to nervousness, she has Ran and Conan come along for lunch. During the meal, Michiwaki tells a story that young brunette girls have been found murdered in the woods not far from the restaurant, once a year ago and once much more recently, but he offers to keep Sonoko safe.
[[File:EP153-154b Case.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The serial killer tries to kill Sonoko.]]
Later, Sonoko is attacked when she interrupts a suspicious figure searching her belongings, and bites him in self-defense before he escapes. The stoic and somewhat unfriendly high school student, [[Makoto Kyogoku]], who is working at the ''ryokan'' moves the group to another room. Ran thinks she has seen him somewhere before but cannot remember where. Michiwaki arrives muddy and wet and Conan suspects him of attacking Sonoko, but he does not have a bite mark on his arm. Makoto has a bandaged bicep and falls under suspicion but Sonoko says he wasn't the attacker because the attacker was hairy. Michiwaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan decide to have dinner at the ''ryokan'' because Michiwaki says that his car has broken down. Conan speculates that Sonoko's attacker was looking for the photographs she was taking during the trip, but cannot figure out why. Conan does not think there are any incriminating photos, but perhaps the murderer overheard Sonoko talking about the photographs (about sending them to Shinichi) and misunderstood.

The next day, Michiwaki, Ran and Conan go to eat at a restaurant while Sonoko tries to have a light sleep in the car. Suddenly, the car starts rolling towards the nearby cliff edge, and Sonoko barely escapes with her life. However, there is no evidence pointing towards the culprit. Ran and Conan go to report the incident while Michiwaki keeps Sonoko company. When alone on a walk in the forest, Michiwaki reveals that he is the serial killer and Sonoko is his target. He had the mistaken notion that Sonoko took a picture of him with his lastest victim and wants to get rid of both the picture and Sonoko a witness. Before he can hurt her, Makoto appears and saves her with an impressive martial arts display. Ran realizes that Makoto is a martial arts champion she has seen in competitions before. Makoto confesses awkwardly that he loves Sonoko, to Sonoko's surprise and delight. Though Makoto is often travelling for tournaments, he and Sonoko maintain a long-distance relationship.

=== Jodie's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 27#Arcade Murder Case|271-273]], Anime: [[The Battle Game Trap|226-227]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko227.png|thumb|right|200px|Sonoko thinks about Makoto.]]
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are at the arcade taking sticker photos, which Ran realizes Sonoko suggested because Sonoko wants to put a sticker with her face on a letter to Makoto. Sonoko blushes but doesn't deny it. Soon after, they encounter their High School English teacher, Jodie Saintemillion, who is an avid gamer. Jodie introduces Ran to a virtual reality fighting game which uses mechanics to simulate a real fight. Ran loses to a gamer named Kengo Bito who taunts her for losing before going on to fight against his rival, Takayasu Shimizu. The battle is projected on a large screen, showing Bito's avatar overwhelming Shimizu's until just before the final blow. At the strange behavior, spectators check on Bito and discover that he is dead.

The police investigate and after reviewing the security camera's footage, they limit the suspects down to four people. When Conan deduces the culprit, he uses Sonoko again as he mouthpiece to expose the murderer. On the way home, Jodie says that Sonoko was like Kate Martin, and Ran says Sonoko was just like Shinichi. Ran and Sonoko part with Jodie on good terms.

=== Girl Clubbing Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Girl Clubbing Case|284-286]], Anime: [[Megure's Sealed Secret|217-218]]) ===
Ran and Sonoko shop for a sweater that Sonoko wants to buy for Makoto; Ran scold Sonoko when she realizes Sonoko wants to pass the sweater off as hand-knitted by her. Ran sends Sonoko ahead to join Kogoro and Conan at a pasta shop, where they had coincidentally encountered the police investigating serial attacks on Japanese women following the "ganguro" fashion with darkly tanned skin, bleached hair, turtlenecks, miniskirts and high platform boots. Ran gets turned around and ends up in the parking lot, where she discovers a fourth victim, dead.
[[File:Sonoko218.png|thumb|right|200px|Sonoko... saved!?]]
During the investigation, Sonoko and Ran point out that the victims are wearing a jacket that wasn't theirs, and Conan realizes the victims were attacked just after leaving somewhere warm—their cars. Sonoko leaves to put her shopping in the car and then use the toilet, attracting the attention of someone in the crowd. It turns out the culprit blames the victim wearing platform shoes while driving on the death of his son, and he is attacking any woman who drives with platform shoes. Sonoko is wearing platform shoes, and when she leaves the department store toilet the culprit is waiting to attack her. Sonoko screams and runs away, but manages to knock off the hat and scarf hiding his face, leaving him determined to kill her so she can't identify him. As Sonoko runs, her ankle twists under her and she falls. When the murderer attacks her, however, Inspector Megure arrives in the nick of time to protect her and confront the culprit. Megure was injured while protecting Sonoko, and at the hospital, Superintendent Matsumoto tells Ran and Sonoko the story of a girl Megure knew who impersonated a serial killer's victims and was gravely injured. Sonoko and Ran are moved to tears, thinking that the girl died, but it turns out that she survived and is now Megure's wife.

=== Murderous Pottery Class (Manga: [[Volume 30#Pottery Class Case|305-307]], Anime: [[The Murderous Pottery Class|228-229]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko228.png|thumb|left|200px|Sonoko looking at Ran's vessel.]]
Sonoko shows off to Ran what she made in pottery class, a small cup for her with Makoto's name on it and a large cup for Makoto with her name on it. Her purpose is to have Makato think of her every time he drinks from it, so that he can't forget her and fall in love with another woman. She invites Ran to join the pottery class as well, and Ran thinks of Shinichi and accepts. As Ran works on her project, Sonoko tries to have Ran confess what she's written on the cup, but Ran refuses. Meanwhile, Conan sneaks in to spy on them, but gets caught. Sonoko keeps teasing Ran as they continue working, until a strange crash leads Ran to investigate—but not before warning off Sonoko from checking on Ran's project. A murder has occurred, and Conan investigates to discover the culprit. On finding the truth, he uses "Deduction Queen Sonoko" to reveal the killer.

A few days later, Sonoko shows Ran a picture that Makoto sent her—to Sonoko's embarrassment, Makoto mistook her cup for a vase, and sent her a picture showing off the flowers he'd put in it.

[[Kogoro Mouri]] receives an invitation to a Halloween cruise; the Halloween cruise is famous for hiring guests to star in a horror film. Sonoko lends her makeup skills to turn Kogoro into a vampire.

During the cruise, the party members are divided into groups; team "Devil" consists of Kogoro, Sonoko, and people disguised as a werewolf, a mummy, a medusa and an invisible man. During the party, the host is murdered by a crossbow arrow with a card identifying team devil attached. Sonoko investigates with Kogoro and both suspect the mummy, who has no card, but later it is revealed to have been a trick.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends===
{{main|Suzuki family}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko hugging Ran.]]
Sonoko and [[Ran]] have been best friends ever since they were little.<ref name=MF3>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko is often there to help Ran whenever she is bullied by other school children, more often there than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was.<ref name=MF3 /><ref>Chapter 921</ref>They were often shown hanging out with each others on the way home after school. Sonoko usually invites Ran to join her on trips, family events (such as [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi's]] [[Kaitou Kid|Kid]] heists), other trips or activities<ref>The Bell Tree Express.</ref>, or simply just go shopping together. Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=e576>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

Meanwhile, even though Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in their friendship. Ran once chose to not go on a ski vacation with Sonoko because she didn't have the money to pay for her own trip, when she knew that Sonoko would pay for her to go if asked.<ref name=e329-330>[[Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money|Episode 329-330: Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money]]</ref> This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.

Despite teasing Ran about her feelings for Shinichi, it also seems that Sonoko, at some point, wants Ran to respond to Shinichi's confession and at least try helping her on that matter.

Before meeting [[Makoto Kyogoku|the man of her own]], Sonoko was sometimes envious that Ran always got the attentions from boys.<ref>[[Volume 22#File 219 - Go On.2C Sonoko.21|Volume 22, File 219, Page 4.]]</ref> However, this didn't affect the deep friendship between them.

==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi are childhood friends. They know each other since childhood. Sonoko finds Shinichi's mystery affection annoying and considers him as arrogant and showoff but acknowledge his knowledge and intelligence deeply. On the other hand Shinichi finds Sonoko annoying as she constantly teases Ran and him about their relationship, calling them Husband and Wife, or Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Shinichi also finds Sonoko's attempts of attracting boys rather irritating. Sonoko is one of only few people who calls Shinichi by his first name with the honorific '-kun'. Shinichi, in turns, also calls Sonoko by her first name, but without including any honorific.
In Conan Edogawa form, whenever Shinichi/ [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is near Sonoko, she gets annoyed. She thinks of him as a brat who knows a lot of weird stuff. Conan finds her annoying in turn, especially when she teases Ran about her relationship with Shinichi.

==== Makoto Kyogoku ====
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while on a vacation, when he worked at his father's hotel in his spare time.<ref name=e153-154>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. He later saves her when he takes a knife in the arm for her, to protect her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer.<ref name=e153-154/> This is when Ran finally realizes that he is the famous karate champion. After defeating the killer, he confesses his feelings for her, which leaves Sonoko dumbfounded and flustered.<ref name=e153-154 /> According to Makoto, he originally met Sonoko during one of Ran's tournaments, and loved how feisty and fiery she was in trying to cheer her friend on.<ref name=e153-154/> After this, Sonoko and Makoto begin a long distance relationship.<ref name=e153-154/>
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]

[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=e217-218>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=e228-229>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her purse, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=e304>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him Valentine's chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=e266-268/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=e266-268/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, Sonoko has stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
While having a conversation with Ran and Kazuha, Sonoko once jokingly stated that she was interested in Heiji.<ref>[[Volume 26]], File 255, Page 7</ref>

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Sonoko and Kazuha have met each other only a few times in the anime. Despite this, they have a friendly relationship. In movie 10, Sonoko seemed to be pleased after seeing Kazuha at the Wonder Land, she even offered her to come with her and Ran.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Sonoko and Ran are good friends with [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]], and they are often seen returning home together after school. Sonoko has a habit of teasing Masumi about her "flat chest". However, she does acknowledge Masumi's popularity in school due to her deductive abilities and her prowess in martial arts.

=== Others ===
==== Kaito Kid ====
[[File:701 4.png|thumb|200px|Sonoko is really impressed with Kaitou Kid.]]
Sonoko thinks that [[Kaitou Kid]] is a really cool guy because of his quick and versatile actions when he is doing his thievery. She is also very much charmed by him, often daydreaming of how he will fight for her affections or fall hopelessly in love with her. This occasionally brings trouble because of Sonoko's infatuation with Kaitou Kid, most notably the time where her boyfriend Makoto thought he had to fight Kaitou Kid for her heart. In the end, Sonoko, although she flirts with Kid and often tries to catch his attention, is actually committed to her relationship with Makoto. This is even attested by Kaitou Kid, who told Makoto that he couldn't capture her heart because it belongs to Makoto.

== Trivia ==
* According to Detective Conan producer Michihiko Suwa, Sonoko was supposed to appear only once in the anime, but since the staff liked Sonoko's voice actor's portrayal so much, they made her appear more.
* According to Suwa, [[Momiji Ooka]] was made to be the "Sonoko of the West".
* Sonoko has been shown to be very aggressive. For example when Genta called her "Auntie Sonoko", she punched him extremely hard, and when she was interrupted by a soccer ball, she threw it back at the kicker, causing him to fall back.
* The first Latin American Spanish dub (until Episode 123) was very inconsistent regarding Sonoko's name. She was usually called Sarita, but she has also been called Susana, Anabela, Sonia and others. The new dub retains the original names, so the inconsistency is now gone.
* "Sonoko" (園子) is written with the characters for "garden" and "child".
* Sonoko's cellphone strap used to be a small figurine of her boyfriend Makoto in karate outfit.

'''{{nihongo|Chosuke Takagi|高木長介|Takagi Chōsuke}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He's not a relative of [[Wataru Takagi]].

== Background ==
Chosuke Takagi is a police detective and [[Juzo Megure|Megure]]'s senior by two years. He was moved from Tokyo to Tottori in order to help with the investigation of a large crime syndicate there.

== Personality ==
Chosuke was shown to be very aggressive at times in an investigation. Once he grabbed [[Kazunobu Chiba|Chiba]] by the collar and slammed him against the wall just to ask him for confirmation to a question. He is also very efficient at investigating, taking notice of minor details and connecting the dots rather quickly. He suspected Chiba of lying to protect his friend in the first case he appeared in, because he believed that as a police detective he had to suspect everyone no matter how good they are.

After the case was solved, Takagi found out that it was Chosuke being sent to Tottori and not him.

List of characters who know Conan's identity

2021-03-09T02:44:55Z

Jaguar41: /* Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero */

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 23 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

The Kudo couple, Shinichi's parents, [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], heard that from Professor Agasa in volume 6, after finding the Kudo household empty.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=6|publisher=Viz Media|date=2005-07-01|isbn=1-59116-838-4|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>
{{clear}}

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

{{clear}}

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:Vermouth.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.
{{clear}}

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

|-
| style="vertical-align: top"|[[File:Subaru Okiya.jpg|100px|right]]
| style="vertical-align: top"|[[File:Shuichi Akai.jpg|100px|right]]

[[Subaru Okiya]] (officially revealed to be [[Shuichi Akai]] in [[The Scarlet Return]]) obtained proof of Conan's identity when he caught Conan pretending to be Shinichi over the phone.<ref>Chapter 813</ref> Based on some of the questions he asked Ran, he may have deduced Conan was Shinichi very soon after he moved into the Kudo house<ref>Paper Airplane Case</ref>, but had lacked absolute proof up until the phone incident. Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself. However, while Conan still refuses to speak of his identity, it's revealed he has already realised that Shuichi Akai knows he is Shinichi Kudo.<ref>Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene</ref>

=== Mary Sera ===
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
In [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|Soul Detective Murder Case]], [[Mary Sera|Mary]] told Masumi that Conan is no longer the same person that she and Masumi met ten years ago. This implies that she is aware that Conan is Shinichi.
{{clear}}

=== Kaitou Kid / Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.
{{clear}}

== Non-canon ==
=== Kaitou Kid / Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

Then, even if he is Conan at the moment, John recognizes Shinichi.

{{main|Tokujiro Nagai}}
[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

Actually, '''Suehiko''' just dubious know Conan's true identity. Because he can't see anything being blind, he think Conan is Shinichi thanks to the collected fingerprint when Conan sit on the armchair at the initial meeting. He appears in [[The Private Eyes' Requiem]].
{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====

[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya / Tooru Amuro / Bourbon / Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

Jaguar41: /* Non-canon */

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 23 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

{{clear}}

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:Vermouth.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

[[Subaru Okiya]] (officially revealed to be [[Shuichi Akai]] in [[The Scarlet Return]]) obtained proof of Conan's identity when he caught Conan pretending to be Shinichi over the phone.<ref>Chapter 813</ref> Based on some of the questions he asked Ran, he may have deduced Conan was Shinichi very soon after he moved into the Kudo house<ref>Paper Airplane Case</ref>, but had lacked absolute proof up until the phone incident. Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself. However, while Conan still refuses to speak of his identity, it's revealed he has already realised that Shuichi Akai knows he is Shinichi Kudo.<ref>Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene</ref>

=== Mary Sera ===
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
In [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|Soul Detective Murder Case]], [[Mary Sera|Mary]] told Masumi that Conan is no longer the same person that she and Masumi met ten years ago. This implies that she is aware that Conan is Shinichi.

=== Kaitou Kid / Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

=== Kaitou Kid / Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

{{nihongo|'''John'''|ジョン|Jyon}} is a pet dog owned by Masayoshi Sakaguchi, the famous lawyer that specialises in crimes committed by juveniles, in [[Pet Dog John Murder Case]].

=== Tokujiro Nagai ===
{{main|Tokujiro Nagai}}
[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====

Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi.

Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.

Jaguar41: /* Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba */

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 23 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

{{clear}}

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

{{clear}}

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:Vermouth.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

[[Subaru Okiya]] (officially revealed to be [[Shuichi Akai]] in [[The Scarlet Return]]) obtained proof of Conan's identity when he caught Conan pretending to be Shinichi over the phone.<ref>Chapter 813</ref> Based on some of the questions he asked Ran, he may have deduced Conan was Shinichi very soon after he moved into the Kudo house<ref>Paper Airplane Case</ref>, but had lacked absolute proof up until the phone incident. Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself. However, while Conan still refuses to speak of his identity, it's revealed he has already realised that Shuichi Akai knows he is Shinichi Kudo.<ref>Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene</ref>

=== Mary Sera ===
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
In [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|Soul Detective Murder Case]], [[Mary Sera|Mary]] told Masumi that Conan is no longer the same person that she and Masumi met ten years ago. This implies that she is aware that Conan is Shinichi.
{{clear}}

=== Kaitou Kid / Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

== Non-canon ==
=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

=== John ===

{{nihongo|'''John'''|ジョン|Jyon}} is a pet dog owned by Masayoshi Sakaguchi, the famous lawyer that specialises in crimes committed by juveniles, in [[Pet Dog John Murder Case]]. When he was in primary school, along with Ran, Shinichi used to come at that house a lot on the way home. He used to save his bread from lunch and gave it to this dog. Then, even if he is Conan at the moment, John recognizes Shinichi.

In [[The Raven Chaser]], Black Organization member [[Irish]] discovers Conan's secret identity. However, instead of revealing it to the Organization, he decides to use that to gain more power with the boss, because of an old grudge he has with [[Gin]] for killing [[Pisco]], his mentor, without orders to do so.

=== Tokujiro Nagai ===
{{main|Tokujiro Nagai}}
[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

=== Suehiko Itoh ===

Actually, '''Suehiko''' just dubious know Conan's true identity. Because he can't see anything being blind, he think Conan is Shinichi thanks to the collected fingerprint when Conan sit on the armchair at the initial meeting. He appears in [[The Private Eyes' Requiem]].
{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.
{{clear}}

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan.

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

Over the course of the series, 23 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===

[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

In [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|Soul Detective Murder Case]], [[Mary Sera|Mary]] told Masumi that Conan is no longer the same person that she and Masumi met ten years ago. This implies that she is aware that Conan is Shinichi.

=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

{{main|Tokujiro Nagai}}
[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.
{{clear}}

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.

==== Jodie Starling ====

[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

Jaguar41: /* Canon */ I put Yukiko and Yusaku ahead of Akemi since they knew Conan's truth before his parents

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 23 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:Vermouth.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself.

Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

Actually, '''Suehiko''' just dubious know Conan's true identity. Because he can't see anything being blind, he think Conan is Shinichi thanks to the collected fingerprint when Conan sit on the armchair at the initial meeting. He appears in [[The Private Eyes' Requiem]].

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.
{{clear}}

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 23 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

{{clear}}

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:Vermouth.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

[[Subaru Okiya]] (officially revealed to be [[Shuichi Akai]] in [[The Scarlet Return]]) obtained proof of Conan's identity when he caught Conan pretending to be Shinichi over the phone.<ref>Chapter 813</ref> Based on some of the questions he asked Ran, he may have deduced Conan was Shinichi very soon after he moved into the Kudo house<ref>Paper Airplane Case</ref>, but had lacked absolute proof up until the phone incident. Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself. However, while Conan still refuses to speak of his identity, it's revealed he has already realised that Shuichi Akai knows he is Shinichi Kudo.<ref>Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene</ref>

=== Mary Sera ===
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]

=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

== Non-canon ==
=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

{{nihongo|'''John'''|ジョン|Jyon}} is a pet dog owned by Masayoshi Sakaguchi, the famous lawyer that specialises in crimes committed by juveniles, in [[Pet Dog John Murder Case]].

After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 22 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

{{clear}}

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:EP813-Vermouth.jpg|150px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

[[Subaru Okiya]] (officially revealed to be [[Shuichi Akai]] in [[The Scarlet Return]]) obtained proof of Conan's identity when he caught Conan pretending to be Shinichi over the phone.<ref>Chapter 813</ref> Based on some of the questions he asked Ran, he may have deduced Conan was Shinichi very soon after he moved into the Kudo house<ref>Paper Airplane Case</ref>, but had lacked absolute proof up until the phone incident. Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself. However, while Conan still refuses to speak of his identity, it's revealed he has already realised that Shuichi Akai knows he is Shinichi Kudo.<ref>Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene</ref>

=== Mary Sera ===
[[File:Mary Sera Profile.jpg|175px|right]]
In [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|Soul Detective Murder Case]], [[Mary Sera|Mary]] told Masumi that Conan is no longer the same person that she and Masumi met ten years ago. This implies that she is aware that Conan is Shinichi.

=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

== Non-canon ==
=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

{{main|Tokujiro Nagai}}
[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

Actually, '''Suehiko''' just dubious know Conan's true identity. Because he can't see anything being blind, he think Conan is Shinichi thanks to the collected fingerprint when Conan sit on the armchair at the initial meeting. He appears in [[The Private Eyes' Requiem]].
{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.
{{clear}}

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 22 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.

==== Jodie Starling ====

[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

Over the course of the series, 22 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''.

Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love.

How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

{{main|Tokujiro Nagai}}
[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.
{{clear}}

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

Jaguar41: /* The Kudo couple */

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 22 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

{{clear}}

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:EP813-Vermouth.jpg|150px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself.

Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

Actually, '''Suehiko''' just dubious know Conan's true identity. Because he can't see anything being blind, he think Conan is Shinichi thanks to the collected fingerprint when Conan sit on the armchair at the initial meeting. He appears in [[The Private Eyes' Requiem]].
{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.
{{clear}}

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

Jaguar41: /* The Kudo couple */

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 22 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

{{clear}}

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:EP813-Vermouth.jpg|150px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

[[Subaru Okiya]] (officially revealed to be [[Shuichi Akai]] in [[The Scarlet Return]]) obtained proof of Conan's identity when he caught Conan pretending to be Shinichi over the phone.<ref>Chapter 813</ref> Based on some of the questions he asked Ran, he may have deduced Conan was Shinichi very soon after he moved into the Kudo house<ref>Paper Airplane Case</ref>, but had lacked absolute proof up until the phone incident. Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself. However, while Conan still refuses to speak of his identity, it's revealed he has already realised that Shuichi Akai knows he is Shinichi Kudo.<ref>Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene</ref>

=== Mary Sera ===
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
In [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|Soul Detective Murder Case]], [[Mary Sera|Mary]] told Masumi that Conan is no longer the same person that she and Masumi met ten years ago. This implies that she is aware that Conan is Shinichi.

=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.
{{clear}}

== Non-canon ==
=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

=== John ===

{{nihongo|'''John'''|ジョン|Jyon}} is a pet dog owned by Masayoshi Sakaguchi, the famous lawyer that specialises in crimes committed by juveniles, in [[Pet Dog John Murder Case]].

His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up".

Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.

==== Jodie Starling ====

[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

Jaguar41: /* The Kudo couple */

[[File:Op40-8.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Conan and Shinichi from [[WE GO]].]]
Over the course of the series, 22 characters have come to know that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]] (11 of which are not manga [[canon]]). In addition, [[Ran Mouri]] has noticed similarities between the two and [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Rei Furuya]] have shown signs of doubting that Conan is just ''"very smart"''. This should not be confused with the [[List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro|people who know Conan is the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro]].

In their respective categories, characters are listed by the order they came to discover, or become suspicious of, Conan's identity.

== Canon ==
So far eleven people have learned Conan's true identity is Shinichi in the manga canon. Four were told the truth, six discovered it for themselves. However the remaining one became aware of this is unconfirmed.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

{{clear}}

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:EP813-Vermouth.jpg|150px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

| style="vertical-align: top"|[[File:Shuichi Akai.jpg|100px|right]]

[[Subaru Okiya]] (officially revealed to be [[Shuichi Akai]] in [[The Scarlet Return]]) obtained proof of Conan's identity when he caught Conan pretending to be Shinichi over the phone.<ref>Chapter 813</ref> Based on some of the questions he asked Ran, he may have deduced Conan was Shinichi very soon after he moved into the Kudo house<ref>Paper Airplane Case</ref>, but had lacked absolute proof up until the phone incident. Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself. However, while Conan still refuses to speak of his identity, it's revealed he has already realised that Shuichi Akai knows he is Shinichi Kudo.<ref>Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene</ref>
{{clear}}

=== Mary Sera ===
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
In [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|Soul Detective Murder Case]], [[Mary Sera|Mary]] told Masumi that Conan is no longer the same person that she and Masumi met ten years ago. This implies that she is aware that Conan is Shinichi.
{{clear}}

=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

== Non-canon ==
=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

=== John ===
[[File:John2.jpg|100px|right]]
{{nihongo|'''John'''|ジョン|Jyon}} is a pet dog owned by Masayoshi Sakaguchi, the famous lawyer that specialises in crimes committed by juveniles, in [[Pet Dog John Murder Case]]. When he was in primary school, along with Ran, Shinichi used to come at that house a lot on the way home. He used to save his bread from lunch and gave it to this dog. Then, even if he is Conan at the moment, John recognizes Shinichi.

[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

Actually, '''Suehiko''' just dubious know Conan's true identity. Because he can't see anything being blind, he think Conan is Shinichi thanks to the collected fingerprint when Conan sit on the armchair at the initial meeting. He appears in [[The Private Eyes' Requiem]].
{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.

[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.

Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

[[File:Hiroshi Agasa.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] found out in volume 1, the very beginning of the series during the second chapter. Shortly after Shinichi had been shrunk, he went back to his home, but was unable to enter his house due to his shrunken state. Professor Agasa had soon appeared and Shinichi revealed his identity, although he didn't believe Shinichi even after he displayed knowledge that only Shinichi would know. It wasn't until did Shinichi display his deductions and intelligence did Professor Agasa realize that the young child really was Shinichi Kudo.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=1|publisher=Viz Media|isbn=1-59116-327-7|chapter=File 2|language=English|location=San Francisco|date=2004-09-07|page=54}}</ref>

=== Heiji Hattori ===
[[File:Heiji Hattori.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] found out in volume 13. Originally, when he first met Conan, he didn't realize the truth as he was blinded by his competitive nature to beat Shinichi and prove he was the better detective. During their second encounter in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he started to realize the similiarites between Conan and Shinchi as well as the fact that neither of them were in the same room together during their first meeting. Due to this, Heiji came to realize that the young child Conan Edogawa was in fact the famous high school detective Shinichi Kudo. However, he lacked proof until he secretly witnessed Conan speaking in Heiji's voice after Heiji was knocked unconsciousness by the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. He secretly regained consciousness and witnessed Conan solving the case in his voice and confronted him shortly thereafter. While Conan still refused his claims, Heiji threatened to expose his identity to Ran and thus Conan had quickly confessed the truth of his identity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=13|publisher=Viz Media|date=2006-09-19|isbn=1-4215-0443-X|chapter=File 1|language=English|location=San Francisco}}</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:EP813-Vermouth.jpg|150px|right]]
[[Vermouth]] realized similarities between Shinichi, when he was young, and Conan. She also chose not to betray Shinichi to the Black Organization, not only because he and Ran saved her when she was disguised as a serial killer in New York, but also to conceal her secret involvement with a mysterious project from other organization members.
{{clear}}

=== Eisuke Hondou ===
[[File:Eisuke Hondou.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Eisuke Hondou]] revealed his awareness of Conan's true idenitiy in volume 60.<ref>''Detective Conan'', File 621.</ref> Originally, when he began investigating the whereabouts of his sister, he was still unaware that Rena Mizunashi was his sister or the fact she is an agent of the CIA. When she disappeared, he began investigating and believed that Kogoro was responsible behind her disappearance since he was the last person to see her. However when he began further investigating Kogoro, it lead to him discovering Conan Edogawa is really Shinichi Kudo. He realised that Kogoro's skills as a detective were different before he began "Sleeping Kogoro" and noticed that Conan was always by his side whenever he was solving a case as well as the fact that Shinichi had taken a leave of absence from school around the exact same time.

Upon these discoveries, Eisuke discovered Conan Edogawa was really Shinichi Kudo, but still didn't know how he became small. This reveals that even before they first met, Eisuke knew all along who Conan really was. When he first met Conan, Eisuke purposely fell into him, knocking off his glasses. Then acting as if he couldn't see, he called Conan, Detective Mouri. Later after finding his sister and learning the circumstances, Eisuke revealed his desire to go to America to join the CIA to follow in the footsteps of his father and sister. Eisuke also confesses to Conan that he is in love with Ran and desires to bring her with him to America, but wants to ask for Shinichi's permission after learning that Shinichi and Ran are in love. Due to this, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi Kudo, refusing Eisuke's request and Eisuke then revealed this truly confirms his suspicions and confesses to knowing Conan's true identity all along.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Masumi Sera|Sera]] seems to have known Conan was Shinichi before they first met recently. Masumi remembers Shinichi from some meeting they had in the past and has been since trying to encourage Conan to remember where he met her. In "Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West" episode, it's confirmed that Sera knows when she thinks "Now we already know who's the winner" while looking towards Conan that thinking about the case, referring him as "Shinichi". Also during [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel]], she purposely made a mistake in her deductions so she could test Conan's skills and make him solve the case using Shinichi's voice.

Since Masumi has been living in England, it's later revealed in File 1050 that she and Mary had been watching Minerva Glass' tennis match on TV and saw the clip, where Conan proclaims himself as Holmes' apprentice; recognized him as Shinichi Kudo, who they met ten years ago.

In [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy]], Masumi deduces Conan's identity.

[[Subaru Okiya]] (officially revealed to be [[Shuichi Akai]] in [[The Scarlet Return]]) obtained proof of Conan's identity when he caught Conan pretending to be Shinichi over the phone.<ref>Chapter 813</ref> Based on some of the questions he asked Ran, he may have deduced Conan was Shinichi very soon after he moved into the Kudo house<ref>Paper Airplane Case</ref>, but had lacked absolute proof up until the phone incident. Since finding out the truth, he teases Conan and has on occasion confronted him regarding his identity, but doesn't further press the issue until Conan is ready to reveal the truth himself. However, while Conan still refuses to speak of his identity, it's revealed he has already realised that Shuichi Akai knows he is Shinichi Kudo.<ref>Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene</ref>

=== Mary Sera ===
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
In [[The Spirit Detective's Murder|Soul Detective Murder Case]], [[Mary Sera|Mary]] told Masumi that Conan is no longer the same person that she and Masumi met ten years ago. This implies that she is aware that Conan is Shinichi.

=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Although [[Kaitou Kid]]'s knowledge of Conan's identity has not been explicitly stated in the manga, Kid addresses Conan and Heiji in file 1018 as "the two highschool detectives", implying that he is aware of Conan's alter ego. How Kid became aware of this is unclear, and has as of now not been mentioned or hinted at. The two most likely scenarios are, that he became aware of it after Conan revealed some information to Kid about his mother during the Ryoma heist, which might have allowed Kid to make the connection, since Yukiko Kudo was a pupil of Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba; or that he became aware of it after the media attention Shinichi got after the case of [[The Crimson School Trip]]. Whether or not Kid's assistant Konosuke Jii is also aware of Conan's identity is unclear but most likely if Kid truly knows. Though, Conan instantly asked Kid to disguise as himself, Shinichi Kudo, to get help from the police quarter, when Conan was thrown from the ship in the sky and Kid jumped to help him (movie 14). It became clear that Kid know his identity. Additionally, Kid was willing to disguise as Shinichi, when Conan's identity was in danger of Ran's discovery(movie 3).

Notice: The timelines of movies and anime are different. While it is clear that Kid knows about Conan's identity in the movie timeline, it is unclear if he know his identity in the anime timeline too.

== Non-canon ==
=== Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba ===
[[File:Kaitou Kid.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|100px|right]]
Kaitou Kid, also known as ''Phantom Thief Kid'', becomes aware of Conan's true identity in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]]. While disguised as [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], Kid had bugged the phones on the Suzuki Financial Group's ship and therefore heard all of the conversation between Conan and Agasa on the phone. Not realizing they were being listened to, Agasa continued to refer to Conan as "Shinichi" on the phone as he normally does. It is assumed that afterwards Kid put two and two together. Kid's knowledge of Conan being Shinichi is confirmed in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]].

=== Tokujiro Nagai ===
{{main|Tokujiro Nagai}}
[[File:Tokujiro Nagai.jpg|100px|right]]
'''{{nihongo|Tokujiro Nagai|長井徳次郎|Nagai Tokujirō}}''', age 72, is the Nagai Toys shopkeeper in [[The Mysterious Boy]]. His wife was hospitalized due to a serious sickness, but he's earnings were too modest to afford her treatments, so he was forced to borrow money from Kuromaru Finance. Tsutomu Oshiro, an employee, whenever he came by to check on the investment, callously bullied Nagai, which the old man endured for his wife's sake. But then Oshiro decided to demand repayment from the wife, heedless of her condition. When she heard that her husband had plunged himself into debt, she suffered a breakdown which contributed to her death soon afterwards. Then, Nagai murders Oshiro for revenge.

Upon that revelation, Nagai remembers Conan, or rather Shinichi, from an incident ten years ago, when one of a group of children visiting his toy shop had dropped a toy engine to the floor, breaking it. Shinichi found out which child had done it, but Nagai kindly refused to punish the offender for this accident. The startlement from this realization convinces Nagai to turn himself over to the police, and Inspector Megure orders a thorough investigation of Kuromaru's dubious business practices. When Megure asks Nagai why he has decided to surrender himself, Nagai replies that a "mysterious boy who has [[APTX-4869|remained unchanged]] for ten years" has influenced him into doing so, as a sort of messenger from his late wife.

Actually, '''Suehiko''' just dubious know Conan's true identity. Because he can't see anything being blind, he think Conan is Shinichi thanks to the collected fingerprint when Conan sit on the armchair at the initial meeting. He appears in [[The Private Eyes' Requiem]].
{{clear}}

== Suspicious ==
Although several characters have caught on to the fact that Conan is much smarter than most children, only a few characters have questioned exactly why he is so smart. Although the [[FBI]] are aware of Conan's intelligence and even talk to him like he is an adult (Shuichi Akai), they do not seem to be too concerned about how he got so smart, especially since they have not encountered Conan's true self, Shinichi Kudo. Some of the police like [[Miwako Sato]] and Ninzaburo Shiratori take Conan's deductions seriously, but like the FBI, they seem to believe he is just an exceptionally bright child.

=== Confirmed suspicions ===
==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] was the first character to become suspicious of Conan's identity, albeit briefly. In [[volume 2]], he felt like he had seen Conan from somewhere before, likely the time when Ran was in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|File 10, Page 16]]</ref> Later, he noticed that Conan was once again pointing out things he overlooked, such as that all of the photos proving the suspects alibi had clocks in them. However, he instantly loses his suspicions when Conan spills another envelope of photos for the case, deciding that "a brat is a brat" after all.<ref>Manga Chapter 11: A Perfect Alibi</ref>

In the [[TV Station Murder Case]], Kogoro became suspicious about Conan for the second time. He was invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurred at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lured Kogoro to a separate room, lying that [[Yoko Okino]] was in there. Just as usual, he decided to tranquilize Kogoro and used the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro woke up, he began to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He was also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tried to pull him outside, he always fell asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabbed the boy's suit jacket and wanted to "clear things up". Much to Conan's luck, Yoko Okino appeared for real and Kogoro completely lost his suspicions.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran Mouri.jpg|100px|right]]
[[File:Ran being suspicious.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran suspecting Conan is Shinichi.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] has on more than one occasion noticed the striking similarities between Shinichi and Conan, being his childhood friend and one of the people that know Shinichi the best.<ref>Episode 96.</ref> She first becomes suspicious during [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], when Conan deduces that the client is a surgeon in a manner similar to Shinichi's deductions, but her suspicions are diluted due to Conan playing with the toys. Later, her suspicions are raised due to Conan acting suspiciously mature for a child and then tricked him into saying indirectly that he's Shinichi. At the end of the episode her suspisions are cleared due to Conan being in the agency while Shinichi( Agasa using a voice changer to mimic)calls the agency.<ref>Episode 7: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]</ref> In [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|episode 96]], she sees Conan without his glasses and notices he looks exactly the same as Shinichi when he was a child. She even tries to confront him about it, but Yukiko then arrives and claims that Conan is her distant nephew.<ref>Episode 96: [[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Later on, in [[The Desperate Revival]], it is revealed that Ran believes Conan is Shinichi and is waiting for him to tell her.<ref>Episodes 188-193: [[The Desperate Revival]]</ref> She is only dissuaded from this when Shinichi appears at the same time that Conan does. It turns out that Haibara has given Conan a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]] that will return him to Kudo Shinichi and disguised herself as Conan. After a text message she sends to Shinichi is received on Conan's cell phone her suspicions are aroused again<ref>Manga Chapter 479: The Suspicious Message</ref>, but Conan uses Agasa's cell phone to call her as Shinichi and messages her his "new" cell phone number.<ref>Episode 400: [[Ran's Suspicions]] Manga Chapter 483: Unlocking It!</ref> Since then, Ran has apparently been too happy with having Shinichi's "secret number" to become suspicious of Conan.<ref> Manga Chapter 484: From Him to Her</ref>
An upcoming suspicion arc has been foreshadowed with Heiji Hattori's omamori and her wondering how Shinichi's fingerprints got on it when only Conan has touched it, coupled with Conan's recent lack of subtlety.
And in the Kazuha's Charm Case, Ran told Conan if he has the resolution of the case yet, hinting that she continue suspecting about Shinichi being Conan. Upon witnessing how Conan helps solving cases, it is likely possible that she subconsciously knows that Conan is Shinichi, and due to suspecting him several times, she might be aware that he is using some tricks to create alibis to satisfy her concerns.

==== Keith Dan Stinger ====
[[File:Keith.jpg|100px|right]]
He became amazed by Conan's intelligence by discovering the fake sommelier that tried to poison Princess Mira and how he managed to alert the cockpit of his presence when he jumped onto the plane upon take off. Upon witnessing his actions, Keith reveals his suspicions that although Conan may look like a child, he has the mind of an adult and entrusts him along with Jigen to find evidence that proves Duke Gerard murdered Queen Sakura and Prince Gill.

=== Non confirmed suspicions===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
[[File:Wataru Takagi.jpg|100px|right]]
When it seemed they would both die while disarming a bomb, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] agreed to follow Conan's instructions in exchange for telling him who he really is. Conan agreed but said he would tell him in the afterlife.<ref>Manga Chapter 372: The Most in This World...</ref> Takagi had also thought to himself that Conan was not just any normal kid prior to this, but he has not made this observation since nor has he asked Conan to explain his answer. It is worth noting however that Takagi is aware of Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] and will do nearly anything Conan asks him to do, including dressing up as a mailman in order to fool some kidnappers. Also, in a recent case Takagi refers to Kudo as "Shinichi-kun", something that is strange considering that the last contact Shinichi and Takagi had (Shiragami case) he still called him "Kudo-kun", and also in the Shiragami Case he had the same attitude with Shinichi than with Conan in other cases, possibly because he continues suspecting about his identity.

However, later in the [[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|Q&A of the Super Digest Book 80+]], Gosho Aoyama stated that Takagi doesn't suspect Conan "even the tiniest bit".

==== Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro/Bourbon/Zero ====
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] suspects Conan is creating the Sleeping Kogoro, but it is unclear if he has any suspicions about Conan's identity or relationship to Shinichi. Also, in the final chapter of the Scarlet Showdown, Conan said to him "liar" and then Furuya responded him "look who's talking", possibly because he also noted Conan is not just a very smart boy.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] overheard Yukiko call Shinichi by the first half of his real name: "Shin-Conan". She noted the slip but didn't seem to understand what it meant.<ref>Sometime very soon after Scarlet Showdown</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[File:Shukichi Haneda.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] noticed that Conan is a skilled detective during their first meeting. During a case, he even writes to his sister Masumi that there is no problem if Conan is making the deduction. By the end of the case, he sent her an e-mail asking if she has already met the wizard. Shinichi met Shukichi ten years ago in the beach, so there is a possibility that Shukichi knows that Conan is Shinichi due to his excellent memory. Well in the 'Yumi's Love Story' case, he thought that the case has reached it's checkmate by looking at Conan which nearly confirms that he already knew about him.
{{clear}}

=== People who questioned Conan's identity ===
==== Kurumi Shodo ====
[[File:Kurumi Shodo.jpg|100px|right]]
Shodo is blind, and based on Conan's speech manner, she concluded that he was in high school age and just had a high voice. She said to Conan that it was as if Sherlock Holmes was imitating a child. Nope

'''{{nihongo|Elena Miyano|宮野エレーナ|Miyano Erēna}}''' was a biochemist in the [[Black Organization]]. She was married to [[Atsushi Miyano]] and had two children, [[Shiho Miyano]] and [[Akemi Miyano]]. She is also [[Mary Sera]]'s sister.<ref>Manga chapter 424</ref> Together she and Atsushi started the [[APTX 4869]] research according to [[Vermouth]].<ref>"If you [Shiho] want to blame someone, blame your parents who took over this foolish research." Episode 345</ref> Both Elena and Atsushi died during a research facility fire that [[Pisco]] called an accident. Later the project was taken over by her daughter Shiho.

== Background ==
Atsushi Miyano moved out of his father's house thirty years ago to go "somewhere" for his research, most likely the [[Black Organization]]<ref>Manga [[Volume 42]], File 1 (425)</ref>. He got married in this time period to Elena, a foreigner of British origin. [[Vermouth]] hints that they worked on an existing project upon joining,<ref>"If you [Shiho] want to blame someone, blame your parents '''who took over''' this foolish research." Episode 345</ref> which is probably part of the one Shiho implied was at least fifty years old.<ref>Manga [[Volume 19]], File 9 (189): "The Endangered Ball "; Episodes [[Episode 130|130]]-[[Episode 131|131]] "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century."</ref> While researching, they worked on a project they called [[Silver Bullet]], which their lab mates refereed to as a "dream drug".<ref> Manga [[Volume 78]], File 1-7 (818-824)</ref> Elena was nicknamed "Hell Angel" while in the Organization, which [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] translates into Japanese as "the angel which fell into hell".<ref name="hell angel"/> She may have earned the nickname because of her nice personality which set her apart from the darkness of the rest of the organization. She and her husband met [[Hiroshi Agasa]] at a science conference at some point. Agasa remembers that Atsushi was a very polite person who complimented his inventions, but that Elena was a very quiet person who you couldn't tell what she was thinking.<ref> Manga [[Volume 39]], File 6-8 (398-400)</ref> Around twenty-five years ago Elena gave birth to [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] and then twenty years ago, the couple and a 4~5 year old Akemi visited Atsushi's father's house then occupied by Atsushi's childhood friend and playmate Sohei Degima.<ref>Manga Volume 42, File 1 (425), pg 12: "The Hidden Truth"</ref> [[Rei Furuya]] revealed that he had met Elena some time before she died.<ref name=824p5>Manga Volume 78, File 7 (824), Page 5: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> She appears in one of Amuro's flashbacks, where she asked him not to pick fights anymore as she wouldn't be able to tend his wounds the next time he comes, because she will go to somewhere "very far away".<ref> Manga [[Volume 84]], File 7 (889), Gosho confirmed it was Elena in the interview in Da Vinci Magazine 2014 "First, Amuro Tōru’s real name will be revealed. Then, why did he think of '''Haibara's mother, Elena,''' will also be explained."</ref>

Elena and Atsushi died in a fire at their research facility<ref> Manga [[Volume 89]], File 11 (948)</ref> shortly after [[Shiho Miyano|Shiho]] was born.<ref> Manga [[Volume 89]], File 2 (939)</ref> Most of their work was destroyed, and their deaths were claimed to be an accident by [[Pisco]], who apparently was close with the couple. However, Elena and Atsushi seemed to know that something was going to happen to them. Elena took the time to leave four tapes for Shiho meaning that she knew she was about to do something that she might not survive, and entrusted those tapes to Akemi, who was around seven at the time.<ref>Manga chapters 425 and 427</ref> The four tapes are numbered 1-20 with the numbers split into groups of five. But the first two tapes are blank. The numbers correspond to a message left by Elena for Shiho's same-numbered birthday. On the fourth tape (15-20) message number 18 meant for Shiho’s 18th birthday, Elena talks about if Shiho will regret what she is about to do, she was working on a remarkable drug she called "[[Silver Bullet]]". She added that it was "terrifying" and the research would require them to leave Shiho and Akemi behind.<ref> Manga [[Volume 78]], File 1-7 (818-824)</ref> Shiho was able to resurrect their project from the salvaged remains, and was already working on it around five years ago.

== Appearance and personality ==
Elena is British and has long blonde hair. In every instance so far she has been shown wearing glasses which cover her eyes. She has also been shown wearing a lab coat.

Since Elena has not appeared or interacted with other characters much on screen, much of her personality has been described by others. Elena seems to have been a very quiet person which has lead to people thinking she didn't understand much Japanese. However we know that she is fluent. Agasa seems to think that she is more suspicious than her "mad scientist" husband, Atsushi.<ref>[[Volume 39|Volume 39, File 6, Page 6: "Torn Friendship 1"]]; [[A Friendship That Can't Be Bought|Episode 329: "A Friendship That Can't Be Bought"]]</ref> Elena seems to have had a generally nice personality, which has earned her the nickname "Hell Angel" inside the [[Black Organization]] which implies her niceness on the backdrop of the criminal organization. Given the tapes she left behind, Elena seems to have loved her daughters. That said, Elena left her daughters at the mercy of the Black Organization even though she knew that she was going to "disappear" in advance.

== Skills ==
Due to her work on drug related projects for the [[Black Organization]] she would have to be skilled at biochemistry. She made significant advances on her research project working with her lab mates on creating a "dream drug" that they were calling "[[Silver Bullet]]". It is unknown how much progress was made, only that her daughter [[Shiho Miyano]] was able to make further advances on a project called "[[APTX 4869]]".

Despite her quiet nature and foreign appearance, Elena can speak Japanese fluently. This was called into question by one of the workers living at Atsushi's house. In the anime he later sees Elena talking with Akemi quietly.

== Plot overview ==
=== Hotel Party Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|178]]) ===
[[Pisco]] tells [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] that he is an old acquaintance of her parents and knew that they were working on a drug project. He is surprised on how far she has come with the project. He also mentions that the parents died in an accident.

=== Moving Dolls Case (Manga: [[Volume 38#Moving Dolls Case|384]], Anime: [[Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun|312]]) ===
[[File:Elena Miyano Silhouette.PNG|thumb|right|200px|The first look at Elena we get, courtesy of Agasa's flashback.]]
When [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] questions Haibara about why she doesn't know much about the Doll sets, the topic shifts to her past. She mentions that the [[Black Organization]] told [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] that her parents had died in a lab accident, but Haibara is skeptical despite Pisco's earlier words. Haibara mentions that she doesn't know much about her mother, but that her father "[[Atsushi Miyano]]" was often called a Mad Scientist, and his projects were often boycotted.

=== The Torn Friendship (Manga: [[Volume 39#The Torn Friendship|398]], Anime: [[A Friendship That Can't Be Bought|329]]) ===
On the way to a camping retreat Agasa comments that he does know the scientist, Atsushi Miyano. He says that he was a very friendly man who complimented his inventions. He reveals that his wife was named "Elena Miyano" and that she was quiet and he could never tell what she was thinking. Rumor has it that she met Atsushi when she came from England to study in Japan.

=== Bathroom Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423-425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===
[[File:Elena Miyano Before.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Elena and Haibara.]]
Approximately thirty years ago Atsushi moved out of the house he inherited from his father to go do research. He left the home to a childhood friend of his to open a design company. A short time later he sent a wedding invitation to his friend. At a point twenty years ago Atsushi and his wife, Elena, and his daughter, Akemi, came back to the house with something very important to tell the friend and stayed overnight, however the friend who was living there was busy and away for a few days. The other members of the company remember Elena being very quiet. They thought it was because she didn't speak Japanese very well, but Akemi spoke it perfectly. Atsushi had been looking out the window frequently and a black car with grey windows was parked nearby quite often. The three of them left without leaving any message behind. Akemi returned at a much more recent point of time (approximately one week before dying) to use the bathroom and hid something in the water tank. Twice someone had broken into the house and broken the lock on the bathroom door, possibly to find the item and spy on the occupants. Haibara reveals that her mother's nickname in the organization was {{nihongo|"Hell Angel"|ヘルエンジェル|Heru Enjeru}} and she translates it into Japanese as {{nihongo|3="jigoku ni ochita tenshi"|2=地獄に落ちた天使|4=the angel that fell to hell}}. At the end of the main case, Conan reveals that the items that Akemi hid in the bathroom were cassette tapes sealed in a plastic bag. The four tapes are numbered in 5 intervals ending with 20. Conan says that the first two tapes were empty and began to listen to the 11-15 tape. He stops and hands the headphones to Haibara saying that its something he shouldn't hear. The tape begins with "To the 11-year old Shiho, happy brithday!" The tapes are recorded messages from Elena to a more grown-up Shiho who she would have not been able to meet.

=== Convenience Store Case (Manga: [[Volume 42#Convenience Store Case|427]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|343]]) ===
In the middle of this case we have Haibara sitting in Agasa's basement listening to the tapes that were recovered in the previous case. "Shiho, won't you regret what you are about to do? If so, I am totally on your side. I'll never loose faith in you. Do your best. Well, it'll be your 19th birthday next time... bye-bye honey, oh, by the way... maybe you are old enough to hear this... I'm really..." However this is all we get to hear of the tape. (Later in the series we get the continuation of the quote.)

=== Halloween Party Case (Manga: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===
In the confrontation between Jodie and Vermouth at the dock once the main case had finished, Haibara arrived and said that she would willingly give herself over to Vermouth in exchange for sparing everyone else. Vermouth told her "If you want to blame anyone, blame your parents who took over this foolish research."

=== Mystery Train (Manga: [[Volume 78#Mystery Train|821, 823-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|702, 704]]) ===
[[File:Elena after.png|thumb|left|200px|Amuro has a flashback with Elena.<ref> Manga [[Volume 84]], File 7 (889), Gosho confirmed it was Elena in the interview in Da Vinci Magazine 2014 "First, Amuro Tōru’s real name will be revealed. Then, why did he think of '''Haibara’s mother, Elena,''' will also be explained."</ref>]]
After receiving a message from Vermouth on her phone while on the train, Haibara freaks out and ditches the main group and hides around the corner as to not be detected. She then has a flashback to the words that her mother left her on the tapes (that were recovered 400 chapters ago). This version was translated slightly different than the original: "Alright, so the next time will be your 19th birthday... bye-bye see you soon... oh yes, maybe its about time I told you... the truth is, your mom is making a truly terrifying drug at the moment... my lab mates are getting really excited about it, they say it's like a "dream drug"... your dad and I are putting our hopes on it and calling it... the silver bullet! But in order to complete the drug, your dad and I will have to leave you and your sister... please understand Shiho..."

At the end of the case [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]'s identity is revealed and he tells the person he believes to be Shiho that she looks very much like her mother. He reveals that he has met both of the Miyano parents as well as Akemi. However that Shiho happened to be Kaitou Kid in a mask with Haibara feeding him lines.

=== Tea Poisoning Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 84#Tea Poisoning Murder Case|889]], Anime: [[The Tense Tea Party|771]]) ===
[[Rei Furuya]] has a flashback to when he was a kid and his wounds were being treated by Elena. However she tells him that soon she may have to go far away and will be unable to continue to treat his wounds from when he was picking fights.

=== Department Store Stabbing Case (Manga: [[Volume 89#Department Store Stabbing Case|939-941]], Anime: [[The Detective Boys in a Grove|843]]) ===
When a makeup counter sales associate asks Haibara where her mother was, she commented that her mother had died shortly after she was born.

=== Kohji Haneda's Death Case (Manga: [[Volume 89#Kohji Haneda's Death Case|948]]-[[Volume 90#Kohji Haneda's Death Case|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===
Haibara gives further details about the deaths of the elder Miyanos. They died in a fire at their research facility. Many of their drug data documents were also destroyed but Shiho was able to recreate their drug based on the parts that survived. It is also revealed that their drug was used for killing like Shiho's APTX 4869. [[Kohji Haneda]] and [[Amanda Hughes]] who were killed in their hotel rooms seventeen years ago may have been killed by that drug. However, only Kohji was listed on the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX 4869's victims' list]].

=== Black Bunny's Club Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#File 1011- Memories of That Woman|1011]], Anime: [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case|953]]) ===
[[File:Elena reveals pregnant.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Elena reveals that she is pregnant to Atsushi.]]
In a flashback from nineteen years ago, Rei is badly injured due to fighting with his bullies. Akemi brings him to her parents' clinic to get him treated. In contrast to her serious and mind-your-own-business behavior towards her patients, Elena seems very frank with Rei. The reason behind this is she can relate to him being a half-japanese herself. She advises him against fighting and tells him that he shouldn't come if gets into another fight. But if he hurts his pride by explaining to bullies why he is no different to them, she will surely put a bandage on it. It is revealed that during the flashback, Elena was three months pregnant with Shiho.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy|995]]) ===

== Relationship analysis ==
=== [[Atsushi Miyano]] ===
[[File:EP953-coulpe.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Elena and Atsushi.]]
With in a short time of meeting (a few years) they fell in love and got married. Sohei Dejima, Atsushi's childhood friend, reports that he received an invitation to their wedding only a few years after Atsushi had left his home in Dejima's hands.

=== [[Akemi Miyano]] ===
[[File:EP953-family.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Elena, Atsushi, Akemi, and Amuro.]]
She had to trust Akemi enough to have left her tapes for Shiho in Akemi's hands. Akemi was also taken with Elena and Atsushi to visit Atsushi's home twenty years ago. However it must be noted that they were distracted enough by the fact that the [[Black Organization]] was following them that they let Akemi roam free and hide the resident's belongings.

=== [[Shiho Miyano]] ===
She cared enough to leave messages on tapes for the grown-up Shiho for all of the birthdays that she would miss witnessing. She even left some information about the drug project that she was working on called the "[[Silver Bullet]]" using that as an explanation as to why she had to leave Shiho and Akemi behind.

=== [[Vermouth]] ===
Vermouth seems to blame the Miyano parents for her own situation. When she was ready to kill [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] during the showdown at the docks she told her that she should blame her parents for this predicament.

=== [[Rei Furuya]] ===
While the true relationship between them has not been revealed yet, we know that they knew each other when [[Rei Furuya|Rei]] was younger. Rei got into many fights and it seems that Elena would bandage him up after the fights. However, one day, Elena had to move and could no longer bandage him. In the flashback in [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case]], it is shown that Elena was very friendly with Amuro, which was unlike her behavior. It was because she could relate to him being a half-japanese herself. She advises him against fighting and tells him she will surely put a bandage on his wounded pride if he explains to his bullies that he is no different from them.

== Name origin ==
"Elena" comes from the German reading of the Irene of [[Wikipedia: Irene Adler|Irene Adler]].<ref>[http://forums.dctp.ws/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12259#p810549 Gosho Q&A from Super Digest Book 50+] Q: 76: Does Miyano Elena's name come from the German reading of Irene? 
A: That's right, it does.</ref>

==Trivia==
*In [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene]] Haibara mentioned that Akemi has a Put On Mascara mirror that originally belong to Elena.
*The Miyano couple met in the medical college and Gosho believe Elena fell in love first according to the LOVE PLUS Super Digest Book.

== Speculation ==

=== Elena Miyano and Mary are sisters ===
[[File:Haibara and Mary EP844.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan makes a connection between Mary and Haibara due to some remaining makeup.]]
In 2014 [[Gosho Aoyama]] did an interview with the Da Vinci magazine in which he revealed that "Two mothers will be revealed to be sisters". Many people jumped in with the idea that [[Mary Sera|Mary]], the [[Akai family]] mother, would be one of them since she is a recently introduced character of the arc that was happening at the time. Additional speculation began to link Elena as the other sister due to her being mentioned in the same question of the same interview. Furthermore, the two are both British.

In November 2015, the manga [[Volume 89#Department Store Stabbing Case|Department Store Stabbing Case]], Conan noticed some left over make-up on [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]]'s face that made it look like she had the [[Akai family]] eye bags. Conan immediately began to suspect that Haibara may be related to Mary. At this stage in the series we have not seen Elena Miyano's eyes for comparison.

In an interview in Singapore in 2016, Gosho confirmed that [[Shuichi Akai]] and [[Akemi Miyano]] are cousins. It is stated at 34:23 in the audio link.<ref>Aoyama Gosho's Q&A with fans. Singapore 2016. https://clyp.it/mwoiwshx</ref> This would imply that one of Shuichi's parents is a sibling of one of Akemi's parents.

In April 2018, Elena Miyano's face was fully revealed in the manga [[Volume 95#Black Bunny.27s Club Case|Black Bunny Club Case]]. She does not have the Akai family eye marks, however she does mention having an older sister. In combination with the statements above this feels like one step away from being proven.

In [[Volume 99#Sisters' Birthday Party Murder Case|Sisters' Birthday Party Murder Case]], it is finally revealed that Mary and Elena are sisters when Vermouth force-feeds Mary the [[APTX 4869|APTX]] with the words: "How does it feel to depart from this world at the hands of your sister's creation?"<ref name="ch1049">[[Volume_99#File_1049_-_It.27s_Unbelievable.21|File 1049: It's Unbelievable! (Volume 99)]]</ref>

==== Other commentary on sisters speculation ====
'''Gosho has given three different [[Super Digest Books]] Q&A answers on the subject.''' 
[[Super Digest Books#SDB70.2B questions translations|SDB 70+]] 
Q67: Are [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] and [[Masumi Sera|Sera]]'s [[Mary|mother]] sisters? 
A: Yukiko is not the sister... 
[[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B questions translations|SDB 80+]] 
Q5: Are Elena Miyano and [[Shuichi Akai]]'s/[[Masumi Sera|Sera]]'s [[Mary Sera|mother]] sisters? 
A: Eh? Why's that? 
Q62: Are [[Masumi Sera|Sera-san]] and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] cousins? 
A: Stop asking in a roundabout way, I'm not going to get tricked! (laughs) 

'''Gosho has also talked about it in [[Postcards]]''' 
[[Postcards#2016|2016]] 
Elena and Mary, sisters? ...please look forward to it~~ (laugh)

Shukichi Haneda and Yumi Miyamoto

2021-01-19T20:53:50Z

Jaguar41: /* Volume 98: File 1043-1046 */

The romantic relationship between [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Yumi Miyamoto]].

== Relationship Analysis ==
[[File:KISS.jpg|thumb|250px|Yumi and Shukichi kissed just before a shogi match]] Shukichi and Yumi met for the first time while she was still in college, on a train where he overslept and rested his head on Yumi's shoulder, waiting for the stop. But Yumi waited and missed her stop just to wake Shukichi up for his own as shown in chapter 900. After this encounter, they met again and began dating ever since. But in the end they broke up because he was immature and gave her a letter containing a marriage registration, telling Yumi not to open it until he won all seven shogi titles. Stressed because she couldn't open the letter until he won them, Yumi decided to break up with him.

After some time, they met again in Chateau Beika Condo, where Shukichi currently lives. Their relationship began to improve when Shukichi rescued Yumi from a kidnapper thanks to the Detective Boys's help, and when Yumi kissed Shukichi as a good luck charm for the "Meijin" match. But Yumi was unaware of Shukichi being a famous shogi player for a long time until she saw Shukichi on television and figured it out. After realizing that meijins can make 100,000,000 yen in salary, she desperately tries to reclaim an envelope he left for her. Eventually, Yumi manages to find the envelope, however, Shukichi lost the Osho match, making the envelope that contains the marriage registration nullified. Yumi rips the letter, but encourages Shukichi to keep following his original plan and to never lose to anyone, calling him "Bald headed Rat", making the latter blush.

'''{{nihongo|Vermouth|ベルモット|Berumotto}}''', also known as '''{{nihongo|Sharon Vineyard|シャロン・ヴィンヤード|Sharon Vin'yādo}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Chris Vineyard|クリス・ヴィンヤード|Kurisu Vin'yādo}}''', is an actress and member of the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Vermouth's background is very mysterious because she has been secretly living at least two lives through the art of disguise: that of actress Sharon Vineyard (now "deceased") and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard.

As the actress Sharon Vineyard, Vermouth gained much fame on Broadway and in movies, even winning an Oscar. Even then, she was a member of the Black Organization. Twenty years ago, she murdered [[Jodie Starling]]'s [[FBI]] father who had collected information on her. Jodie Starling would eventually grow up to be an FBI agent and one of Vermouth's most bitter enemies. As Sharon, Vermouth became close friends with [[Yukiko Kudo]] back when they were studying disguise under [[Toichi Kuroba]].

At some point Sharon began to pretend to have a daughter named Chris, who she did not got along with after she played a rude prank. That fact might have serve as a pretext to why the two 'identities' wouldn't be seen together in public. While Sharon was still alive, Chris kept out of the public eye except for acting in movies and giving interviews. Less than one year ago, Vermouth staged Sharon Vineyard's death, which allowed Chris to come out publicly. Currently, Vermouth serves the Black Organization with the public name Chris Vineyard.

Vermouth is the [[The Boss|boss]]' favorite which grants her some independence. Vermouth also has some particular connection to the boss that she does not want known by the greater organization, which [[Bourbon]] is blackmailing her with.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 898: "Scarlet Epilogue"</ref> She also appears not to age or have de-aged over a period of twenty years between when she killed Jodie's parents and her current appearance. She doesn’t seem to like [[APTX 4869|the research]] that [[Shiho Miyano]] and [[Atsushi Miyano|her]] [[Elena Miyano|parents]] engaged in, calling it “foolish". <ref>[[Volume 42#File 434 - Rotten Apple|Volume 42, File 434: "Rotten Apple"]]</ref>

Vermouth entered the storyline some time after [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano/Sherry/Ai Haibara]]'s mysterious flight from the Organization. Her main objective was to track down and eliminate the 'traitor', and for that purpose she assumed the identity of doctor [[Tomoaki Araide]]. But although she managed to discover Shiho's reversion into a child, she did not succeed in killing her, as she met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was able to discover and thwart her plans. She also encountered the FBI during this process.

Vermouth has great personal interest in Conan, constantly calling him "[[Silver Bullet]]". Since it has been revealed that she knows about Ai and Kudo's reversion to their child forms, she seems to know the shrinking effect the drug can have, but for reasons yet unrevealed she keeps this knowledge secret from the rest of the Organization.

== Personality ==
Although she follows orders from the boss and [[Gin]] when he is charge of missions, Vermouth often acts according to her own agenda and whims, even when it runs contrary to the [[Black Organization]]'s best interests. She is secretive and manipulative, even towards other Organization members. Vermouth is confident in her abilities, is very bold, and an expert at manipulating situations to her advantage: traits which allow her to single-handedly weave complex plots and take the upper hand even while she is being monitored by enemies. She is intelligent and insightful, correctly suspecting the allegiance of Kir, but she was successfully outwitted by [[Conan]] and forced by [[Shuichi Akai]] to retreat.
[[File:Vermouth provokes Gin.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Vermouth teases Gin and Vodka by disguising as a waiter.]]
Vermouth's personality is contradictory at times. On one hand, she is a cruel and ruthless agent who will blackmail an unwilling man to commit murder by threatening him and his family just to provide a distraction and happily tell [[Jodie Starling|an FBI agent]] she should smile because she will see her dead father again in heaven. On the other hand, she risks her life several times to protect Conan (Cool Guy), [[Ran]] (Angel), and [[Kogoro]], and her friendly behavior while in disguise as Tomoaki Araide left the real Araide wondering if Vermouth is really a bad person. This inconsistency may reflect an underlying conflict of conscience after [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and Ran (Angel) saved her life during the events of the [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354_Anime:_286-288.29|Golden Apple case]]. Vermouth also appears to be an atheist at first as she claims to not believe in God nor angels until Ran unknowingly rescued her which seemed to have given her back some faith.

At this point, Vermouth's motives are very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. She dislikes the Miyano family's research. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (Cool Guy) (as the son of [[Yukiko Kudo|her best friend]]) and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (Angel).<ref name="e288">[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, Part 3]].</ref> As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.

While she does kill people, something suggests that she is not much into killing children. When Jodie, as a child, caught Vermouth, Vermouth didn't kill her directly but instead asked her to stay in the house, which she later set on fire. It could mean that she doesn't like to kill children directly. And when she questions a young witness, [[Toji Funemoto]], about Kir's accident, she lets him live.

She enjoys teasing others, seen when she disguised as a male waiter and served Gin and Vodka martinis and taunted Chianti by wishing her good luck and blowing her a kiss.<ref>[[Volume 49#File 501 - Follow the Target!|Volume 49, File 501, page 7: "Follow the Target!"]]</ref>

== Abilities ==
=== Disguise ===
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth removes a latex mask.]]
Vermouth is able to mimic anyone's appearance and voice exactly with her disguise and acting skills even after observing them for only a short period of time. Vermouth frequently utilizes latex masks. Her disguising ability has been noted by Conan to be on par with the current Kaito Kid (Kaito Kuroba).<ref>[[Volume 44|Volume 44, File 457, Page 7]]</ref> Although she may have known how to disguise prior to meeting [[Toichi Kuroba]], she studied disguise under him. Her disguise ability was first shown in [[The Mysterious Passenger]]<ref>[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287: "The Unseen Horror"]], [[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 230: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref> where she dressed as a male waiter to tease [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]]. [[Jodie Starling]] once referred to Vermouth's disguise abilities as a frightening type of perfection.<ref>[[Episode 362]]</ref>

=== Reconnaissance ===
Vermouth specializes in reconnaissance and infiltration, and has been shown to work very swiftly yet cautiously to rapidly acquire information. Her confidence and skill in disguise and imitation means she can execute bold plans that put her in very close contact with her targets and she can advance her plot even when they are suspicious of her. Without the aid of the other organization members, Vermouth successfully snuck into the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police headquarters]] in order to steal the records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases. She later returned them when presumably the surveillance would be even higher after the police noticed the files were missing. She then single-handedly staked out the [[FBI]] who were lured out into watching Kogoro Mouri and uncovered their numbers, addresses, and ways to contact them.

=== Stamina ===
Vermouth is quite strong and has developed a high pain tolerance. While she was disguised as a serial killer in New York City, Vermouth athletically vaults up from a dead hanging positioning over the railing of the stairwell to higher ground despite being shot in the side. She also shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Shuichi, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.

=== Pain Tolerance ===
She shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Shuichi, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.

=== Shooting ===
As Vermouth pulled away in Jodie's car with broken ribs after her flak jacket absorbed a close range shotgun blast, she managed to aim a handgun backwards with her left hand using the side mirror while driving a car she wasn't used to and shoot Araide's car's gas tank standing 100 yards away, causing it to explode. Shuichi is impressed she managed that difficult shot with her battered body. Earlier however, she failed to draw fast enough to shoot Jodie or Shuichi; in the first case, the gun was shot out of her hand, in the second, Shuichi fired first.

== Non-aging ==
[[File:Vermouth 20 years ago.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's appearance 20 years before the current timeline.]]
For some reason, Vermouth does not appear to age. Her apparent age hasn’t changed since she murdered Jodie’s parents twenty years ago.<ref name="f433">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> [[Shuichi Akai]] proved that Vermouth was not wearing a mask when his shotgun fire grazed her face. Specifically, it hasn't been clarified if Vermouth hasn't aged over time or if she became younger all at once. It is also important to note that Vermouth's talent for disguise makes it difficult to figure out when Vermouth stopped aging or deaged.

=== The Raven Chaser (Movie: [[The Raven Chaser|13]]) ===
Vermouth disguises as a brown haired policeman in a dark suit with glasses to check on [[Irish]]'s progress and the integrity of his disguise during the conference. After texting the boss outside the bathroom, she exits the building and leaves in [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Gin's Porsche 356 A|Gin's Porsche 356 A]].

She is seen again disguising as a young brown-haired woman when trying to come closer to the believed serial killer but leaves as soon as she realizes he is not. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] tracks her down in the underground parking lot and makes her reveal herself. She gives Conan essential information about an organization member named Irish and wishes him good luck when leaving.
It is later revealed that she was the one who supervised the captured [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Superintendent Matsumoto]] and provided him with comestibles. When the police finds out about Matsumoto's remains, she informs [[Gin]] about it and leaves.
Finally, she is briefly seen driving along the Highway when Gin's helicopter crashes, complimenting Conan's accomplishments and calling him again a "silver bullet".

== Plot exposition ==
=== Family history ===
[[File:Vermouth Sharon Vineyard EP345.png|thumb|right|200px|Chris and Sharon Vineyard]]
In order to camouflage the fact that Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person, Vermouth concocted personal histories for her real life cover roles in order to make them seem like different people. When Sharon and Chris Vineyard were revealed to be one and the same, at least part of the stated Vineyard family history was revealed to be a lie. The fall-out between mother and daughter probably serves as an excuse to why the two of them never are seen together. It is unknown how much of the remainder is truthful, based on the truth, or outright fabrication because the primary source of the information is Vermouth herself who may have more to hide.

Little is known of Sharon Vineyard's mother and father. Sharon's parents were not actors, at least not well known ones, because Agasa called Chris Vineyard a second generation actress.<ref name="f341p8">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 8: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> According to Sharon's story, both her mother and father died in a fire on the day Sharon debuted on screen.<ref name="f351p2">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 2: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref>

So far, Sharon Vineyard's age has not been given and nothing is known about her personal history before she became an actress. Even her fans knew little about her private life even after she became famous.<ref name="f344p9">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 9: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Sharon said her road to stardom was very difficult and full of misfortune, prompting her to doubt the existence of God: "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 18: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Sharon became a star actress<ref name="f350p16">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 16: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> and, according to [[Shuichi Akai]], is best known for her work in the Golden Apple broadway play.
[[File:Chris with veil.png|thumb|left|200px|Chris Vineyard coming out into public for the first time - at the funeral of her mother Sharon Vineyard]]
At some point, she married and gave birth to her daughter Chris Vineyard. Her husband later died of an unspecified illness the day after Sharon won an Oscar. While studying for an acting role approximately 20 years ago, Sharon learned disguise techniques from [[Toichi Kuroba]] alongside the aspiring young Japanese actress [[Yukiko Kudo]].<ref name="f350p17">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 17: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref><ref>Yukiko started her career while in high-school. Yukiko is 37 currently so the time frame while Yukiko was studying as a beginning actress is approximately 20 years ago when Yukiko was 17 or 18.</ref> During their time together, Yukiko became Sharon's friend, and they have maintained contact with one another. Sharon later sent Yukiko three tickets to Golden Apple broadway production the year before she died. The cause of Sharon's death has not been revealed.

Chris Vineyard meanwhile became a successful actress quickly by riding the coattails of her mother's fame.<ref name="f351p2" /> She began to make movies and give interviews to reporters only, but otherwise she never appeared publicly.<ref name="f344p9" /> The first day she came out into public was the day of her mother's funeral some time less than one year ago.<ref name="f344p9" /> A reporter who tried to question Chris asked where she went to school, whether she got along with her mother, who her father is, and if the rumored lover she has will appear at Sharon's funeral.<ref name="f344p10">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 10: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Chris answered none of these, but the types of questions which were asked demonstrate the secrecy surrounding the Vineyard family history.

Sharon Vineyard and Chris apparently didn't get along; Sharon doesn't consider Chris to be her daughter.<ref name="f351p2" /> Sharon explained this by relaying a tale to Yukiko about Chris who disguised as Sharon's husband and then met with Sharon when she visited her husband's grave to lay flowers.<ref name="f351p3">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 3: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref> Sharon did teach Chris the disguise techniques she learned from Toichi after Chris begged for them.<ref name="f351p3" /> One year prior to the current timeline, Sharon says she hasn't seen Chris in ten years and that she is currently hanging out with a "bad crowd" of people.<ref name="f351p3"/>

=== Hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not Jodie ===
[[File:Ep278 Cool Gay.png|thumb|right|200px|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images.]]
There were several hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not [[Jodie Saintemillion]] who was also a candidate for being Vermouth before her true identity was revealed.
* The records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases that Vermouth stole did not contain any cases involving [[Jodie Saintemillion]], but did contain the murder case [[Tomoaki Araide]] was involved in. This was the clue that allowed Conan to deduce Araide was Vermouth.
* Jodie's copies of [[Media:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard]] have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures.<ref name="f343p18">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 18: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> This detail was overlooked in the anime. Also, Jodie has a picture of Dr. Araide.
* Araide switches from the basketball to the drama club.<ref name="f270p3">[[Volume 27#File 270 - Game Start|Volume 27, File 270, page 3: "Game Start"]]</ref>
* Haibara skipped school on the day of the yearly health checkups that Dr. Araide gives the elementary school students. Conan wonders if Haibara thinks there is something wrong with Araide.<ref name="f287p3">[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287, page 9: "The Unseen Horror"]]</ref>
* Vermouth falls out of character. One of her patients says Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger.<ref name=355p6>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 6: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> Also, "Dr. Araide" claims to have sent his grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori,<ref name=355p5>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 5: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> which is strange because it was established in the Araide family murder case<ref>[[Volume 24#File 235 - In the Darkness...|Volume 24, Files 235-236: "In the Darkness..."]]</ref> that Araide didn't trust them (especially Hikaru) to take care of themselves.<ref>[[Volume 35#File 355 - Mystery of the Haunted House 1|Volume 35, File 355: "Mystery of the Haunted House 1"]], [[The Truth of the Haunted House|Episode 274: The Truth of the Haunted House]]</ref>

=== Jodie's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ===
[[File:Vermouth with little Jodie.png|thumb|right|200px|Seven year old Jodie encounters Vermouth twenty years ago.]]
Jodie's father in the FBI was secretly investigating Vermouth twenty years before the current storyline.<ref name="f433" /> That is too young for Chris Vineyard to be in disguise as she is only 29 currently and would be 9 at the time. After Vermouth killed Jodie's father she inadvertently handled Jodie’s father’s glasses barehanded which had fallen off of him and got her fingerprints on them. Unexpectedly, little Jodie came in and saw Vermouth holding the glasses. When Vermouth left after setting the house on fire, she didn't anticipate that Jodie left to get juice, taking her father’s glasses with her and thus preserving her fingerprint. After she discovered Jodie's corpse was not found in the house, Vermouth looked for the girl desperately in order to rectify her mistake, but Jodie had since been put into witness protection.

Jodie suspected Chris Vineyard of being Vermouth when she saw her at Sharon’s funeral. She somehow determined Chris Vineyard’s prints matched those of the glasses. Chris would have been too young to commit a crime 20 years ago, so later Jodie obtained Sharon’s fingerprints and matched those as well. All three matched, proving to Jodie that the three people were one and the same.

=== Conan's investigation ===
==== Conan's discovery Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide ====
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] suspects [[Pisco]] had help from another [[Black Organization]] member. He looks into [[Chris Vineyard]] and realizes that she is able to disguise herself and may be pretending to be someone close to him. [[Kogoro Mouri]]’s case records were stolen from the police department. Conan realizes [[Tomoaki Araide]] is Vermouth because Vermouth needed the files to testify at the trial properly while in disguise.
[[File:Vermouth as Araide.png|left|thumb|200px|Vermouth as Dr. Araide]]
Conan first suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the mourning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. Conan didn't realize that this Black Organization member might be after him or Haibara until after the bus jack case when Haibara tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is [[Shuichi Akai]] whose behavior seemed suspicious.<ref name="f291p11">[[Volume 29#File 291 - A Tiny Trace|Volume 29, File 291, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"]]</ref> After he recognizes Shuichi in the P & A case<ref name="f326">[[Volume 32#File 326 - P & A|Volume 32, File 326-328: "P & A"]]</ref>, Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of someone investigating them.<ref name="f332">[[Volume 33#File 332 - Bloody Valentine 2|Volume 33, File 332: "Bloody Valentine 2"]]</ref> Conan doesn't seem to suspect the person Vermouth has replaced, [[Tomoaki Araide|Dr. Araide]], yet because he was willing to use his voice changer in front of him.<ref name="f330">[[Volume 33#File 330 - Sato's Feelings|Volume 33, File 2: "Sato's feelings"]]</ref>

Conan gets his first tangible proof someone is investigating around him when [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.<ref name="f336p9">[[Volume 33#File 336 - Clean Scent|Volume 33, File 336, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"]]</ref> He begins to wonder who the target is and suspects Shuichi may be behind the incident because of the timing. Conan also begins to suspect the English teacher [[Jodie Starling|Jodie Saintemillion]] and Dr. Araide as well because they were also on the bus.<ref name="f343p17">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 17: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> He isn't sure of the motive for taking the records although Conan wonders if someone is trying to lure him out or if the person returned the files because they already knew what Conan would do.<ref name="f341">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref>

Conan's idea that Pisco had an accomplice among the other suspects has fully solidified. He has noticed one of the suspects who had a purple handkerchief, [[Chris Vineyard]], hasn't appeared in public since that case, thus Conan believes Chris is the Black Organization accomplice. He asks [[Agasa]] to go onto Chris's fansite and gather information on her past, interests, and habits<ref name="f341p3">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 3: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> and Agasa's investigation corroborates with Conan's deduction.<ref name="f344p9" /> Conan is already aware that Chris Vineyard has disguise abilities and may be in disguise as someone around him.<ref name="f343p17" />

At this point, Conan is still uncertain of Araide, Jodie, and Shuichi's allegiances. He learns from [[Ran Mouri|Ran Mouri]] that Shuichi Akai was seen with a man in an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] jacket during the New York case, causing Conan to wonder if the FBI is in Japan for some reason or the Black Organization infiltrated the American law enforcement.<ref name="f380p5">[[Volume 37#File 380 - White Snow... Black Shadow...|Volume 37, File 380, pages 5-6: "White Snow... Black Shadow..."]]</ref> Conan begins to take precautions around Dr. Araide and Jodie by lying to them in order to minimize contact and information they have about Haibara.<ref name="f420">[[Volume 41#File 420 - The Enclosing Surrounding Net|Volume 41, File 420: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net"]]</ref><ref name="f422">[[Volume 41#File 422 - Inescapable Target|Volume 41, File 422: "Inescapable Target"]]</ref> However, Jodie and Dr. Araide both go over to Agasa's house and plant listening devices because Conan failed to communicate his suspicion and plans to Agasa.<ref name="f422" />

By the time Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he has realized that Vermouth is most likely Dr. Araide because Jodie wasn't in Mouri's case files when they were stolen, while Araide was. Vermouth needed the files to give proper testimony at the trial and to act correctly as Araide. Vermouth puts her plan to capture Haibara into action by calling Agasa's house as Dr. Araide saying he wants to take Haibara to a hospital because her cough hasn't gotten better.<ref name="f430p9">[[Volume 42#File 430 - The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood|Volume 42, File 430, page 9: "The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood"]]</ref> Conan is still unsure of Jodie's allegiance until she answers the door before Dr. Araide arrives. Jodie lies to "Haibara" (who is really Conan in disguise) saying that Dr. Araide's car has broken down and she has come in his place.<ref name="f431p3">[[Volume 42#File 431 - The Invisible Man Enters!|Volume 42, File 431, page 3: "The Invisible Man Enters!"]]</ref> Conan catches the lie and realizes that Jodie has been listening to the bugs as well and is acting to protect Haibara, meaning she is against Vermouth. Armed with this info, he asks Jodie to force the truth from Vermouth, and in return he will trust her.<ref name="f432p4">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 4: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

Conan tells Jodie the true scenario of Dr. Araide's family murder case.<ref name="f433p11">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433, page 11: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> Tomoaki Araide’s father, Yoshiteru Araide, was killed in his bathtub via electrocution. The murder was masterminded by Yoshiteru Araide's second wife, Yoko Araide. She caused a blackout to occur while she was supposedly on the phone, and during the ensuing darkness, snuck to the bathroom and put an electric shaver in the bathtub. She then crept back and asked the housemaid [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] to flip the circuit breaker, causing Yoshiteru Araide to be electrocuted. "Sleeping Kogoro", the police, and the criminal decided to create a false investigation record to protect the conscience of the maid Hikaru. Jodie used this to her advantage and forced Vermouth to reveal that she didn't know the true sequence of events.<ref name="f432p11">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 11: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

==== Conan's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ====
[[File:Vermouth protecting Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide protects Conan on the hijacked bus. This action puzzled Conan until he realized he had unknowingly saved Vermouth in New York city one year before.]]
At the same time Shinichi and Ran were in New York City, Vermouth disguised as a silver-haired serial killer in order to lure out [[Shuichi Akai]]. Later, Conan suspected the serial killer may have been someone in disguise when he heard that the serial killer’s blood and fingerprints on the stair rails were cleaned up, an action uncharacteristic for someone intending to commit suicide.<ref name=354p3>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (354), pg 3: "Golden Apple 5". Note that Conan had not figured out everything completely at this point.</ref><ref>Manga [[Volume 37]], File 8 (380), pg 6: "White Snow... Black Shadow...". Conan is now convinced that the serial killer was killed. He had begun suspecting Shuichi Akai previously, and he still does at this point after Ran informs him Shuichi is an FBI agent, because Shuichi could be a spy in the FBI from the Black Organization.</ref> Sharon was the only person Conan knew about in the local area with high disguise abilities, so suspicion naturally fell onto her.

After Vermouth disguised as Araide, Conan deduced from the way Vermouth was behaving that she was trying to avoid involving Conan in her plan and was only targeting Haibara. Vermouth as Dr. Araide risked her life to protect Conan in the bus jack case and helped him out in Sato's matchup case. When Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he realizes that Vermouth's intentions are to only trap Haibara and that Vermouth is trying to lure Conan to the party to avoid catching him up in her plan.

Conan who didn't exist a year ago has no reason to be “protected” by Vermouth. Conan deduces Vermouth must know his identity as Shinichi and the reason for her “protection” must have to do with something he did as Shinichi. However, Sharon was the only one Shinichi had a connection with, and she is apparently dead. Sharon’s daughter Chris has never met Shinichi and is estranged from Sharon Vineyard so she alone doesn't have an adequate motive to protect Shinichi. Also, it wouldn’t make sense for Chris Vineyard, who isn’t a family friend like Sharon, to be able to recognize Shinichi as Conan; presumably Vermouth saw young Shinichi with Yukiko when she was Sharon.<ref>Manga [[Volume 42]], File 10, pg 5</ref>

All these clues come together when Conan makes the assumption that Sharon Vineyard is Chris Vineyard who disguised as the silver haired serial killer in New York and that she is grateful for being rescued by [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and [[Ran]] (Angel).<ref name="f429p9">[[Volume 42#File 429 - The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet|Volume 42, File 429, page 9: "The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet"]]. After Conan tells Agasa that Vermouth probably knows who they are, Agasa asks "If they know that much, why haven't they come here to kill you?". Conan's response is, "I don't know the reason, but... but I think I at least know one of the causes."</ref>

== Speculation ==
=== Vermouth's true age ===
Vermouth's age is unknown because her history is largely unclear. We know she has lived as Chris who is 29, and as Sharon whose age is unknown. Her face when she killed Jodie's father 20 years ago was youthful, suggesting she is currently at least 40 years old as long as no deaging has occurred...

On the train, when she was talking to Yukiko, Yukiko brought up whatever is used to keep your youthful appearance. She mentiioned about painful that it did not effect the rest of her body, however she sure does not move around like a person in their 40s, and let alone older.

=== Vermouth did not use APTX 4869 ===
A popular theory on Vermouth's non-aging is that she used [[APTX 4869]] to achieve her youthfulness since this is the only known substance capable of producing such an effect ([[Silver Bullet]]'s effects are unknown at this point). However, at present there are things that contradict such a notion. Vermouth would have faced near certain death if she had used APTX 4869.<ref name=V2/> Before Vermouth discovered Haibara and Conan, the known members of the Black Organization (besides Sherry) only knew about APTX 4869's lethal effects,<ref>Sherry did not report the results that several of her mice shrank to the greater organization because they have not been able to figure out how Shiho managed to escape the locked room. If Shiho had reported her data, the Organization would have known that shrinking was a possible side effect of APTX 4869 and would have figured out how she escaped and begun looking for a child. Furthermore, if Shiho had reported to the Organization that APTX 4869 had the possibility of leaving the victim alive, the boss and/or Shiho's superiors would not have permitted the drug in situations where the victim, if surviving, could escape as in Shinichi's case.</ref> and it was considered deadly enough that Sherry's superiors employed it as an untraceable murder weapon.<ref name=V2>Gin described APTX 4869 as a poison before using it on Shinichi, "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff..." (V1-1 pg 37) Haibara also mentions that it was used on a number of other people, "Of all the people who took the drug, only your death hadn't been confirmed yet." (V18-9 pg 6 The Org took great pains to ensure the people APTX4869 was used on were dead, evidenced when they sent Shiho out to investigate Shinichi's case twice to confirm his death. (V18-9 pg 6) Additionally, Gin gave the OK for it to be employed in a time sensitive assassination where failure would be unacceptable: "Anyway, our superior has ordered us to kill him before he rats us out. Don't screw up, Pisco! If there is any complication, you can use the 'experimental drug' [APTX 4869]" (V24-7 pg 17) If the boss, who has been stated to be cautious to a fault, knew about the risk that someone might survive APTX 4869, he would not let his subordinates use the drug without letting them know there was a chance it would leave people alive because, if someone escaped, they could talk to the police or someone else and leak the secret of the Black Organization's existence. If Gin knew it failed to work some of the time, he would have never left Shinichi alone while it acted, and would have also gone looking for him after his body disappeared if that was the case. Even Shiho Miyano who was aware APTX 4869 could rarely cause de-aging expected it to kill her. "I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8) Finally, Shiho makes it clear the Organization is not simply trying APTX 4869 out on victims, they are actively using it to kill. "If I reported your condition to the Organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." (V18-9 pg 7) Even though Shinichi was an "interesting specimen" (V18-9 pg 7), if the Org was field testing, they would try to capture Shinichi alive for study. Shiho was still project manager when use on humans began and when Shinichi was poisoned, so she would know the Organization's protocol should someone fail to die.</ref> However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series,<ref>"No angel has smiled upon me", "My life represents a series of misfortunes" (V35-1 pg 2)</ref> it is possible Vermouth took APTX 4869 hoping to commit suicide, but she de-aged instead, similar to Haibara's situation<ref>"I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8)</ref>. Vermouth could have also gambled on taking APTX 4869 after she recognized the deaged Shiho and Shinichi and then discovered that APTX 4869 was the common connection between them and likely cause of their conditions. However, both the suicide scenario (if it occurred while Shiho was working on the drug) and the gambling scenario fail to explain why no one in the Black Organization has questioned why Vermouth has become younger, especially after Gin saw her true face following the Haunted Ship case<ref>Shuichi's shotgun fire struck Vermouth's face and wounded it which made it apparent she wasn't wearing a mask and thus that was her true face. Vermouth was picked up by Gin in a telephone booth and he would have noticed her facial injury as well.</ref>, and then connected that with APTX 4869 use and Sherry's mysterious escape from the handcuffs and locked room. 
It is possible that Atsushi and Elena Miyano had something to do with Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging (e.g. Vermouth was their guinea pig). This might explain the personal animosity Vermouth feels towards the Miyanos and why she calls their APTX experiment foolish.

Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging may be a result of a project older than Shiho's APTX 4869, like her parents' [[Silver Bullet]], or something else even older than that. This would explain why none of the other members of the Black Organization suspect that APTX 4869 can also cause this effect and thus are unaware of the possibility Shiho de-aged to escape.

Another possibility, could be if she ever administered the APTX 4869 orally, as in she hides it in her mouth, and transfers it to her intended target, as in Mary Sera's case, the de-aging effect may had kept her young, while it may kill or make young the target.

After all, she did state her skin care regiment for retaining her youthful glow to Yukiko in [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] painfully does not affect the entire body, which hints that it mostly affects the face, and other external appearances.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Yukiko Kudo ====
[[File:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth with Yukiko approximately 20 years ago.]]
Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{Main|Gin and Vermouth}}
[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth teases Gin with a disguise.]]
Vermouth and [[Gin]] are or were in a sexual relationship with one another.<ref name="CD239a">Conan Drill page 239, "肉体関係" (sexual relations)</ref> They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Vermouth and Gin trusted one another, but some of Gin's trust may have disappeared as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her intentions.<ref name="CD239b">Conan Drill page 239, "同僚・信頼" (Colleagues Trusted)</ref> Gin doesn't mind threatening her with bodily harm, he nearly stabbed her through the head with an icepick on one occasion when she teased him disguised as a waiter, and he later pointed his gun at her when asking how she was connected with Kogoro. She doesn't seem especially bothered by any of these threats however. Because Vermouth is a high ranking member and the boss's favorite, she isn't scared of provoking the other agents, not even Gin who is extremely dangerous and sensitive. She smiled after moving her head to avoid Gin's deadly sweep with an icepick telling him that "She was just joking" which shows that she enjoys teasing him.

==== Sherry ====
[[File:Vermouth episode 230.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth terrifies Haibara.]]
Vermouth and [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Vermouth appears to dislike the research the Miyanos engaged in, calling it foolish. Shiho fears Vermouth more than most other members except perhaps Gin. Shiho was Vermouth's target, but Vermouth gave up on her after Conan's intervention. If Shiho was in a romantic relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a sexual relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref> During the '[[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Bell Tree Express arc]]', Vermouth tries to use C4 explosives to kill Sherry without telling anyone about the plan, while Bourbon wanted to take her back alive hinting at an abnormal hatred towards her.

==== The Boss ====
In file 898, Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the [[The Boss|boss]], implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.

==== Calvados (deceased) ====
[[Calvados]] was in love with Vermouth, and Vermouth took advantage of his feelings and used him. Vermouth called on Calvados to aid her in disposing with Jodie and capturing Haibara at the shipping yards. After Shuichi got the best of Calvados and Vermouth, she chose to run away, leaving him at the mercy of the FBI. Calvados chose to commit suicide rather than be caught.

==== Chianti and Korn ====
[[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] both hate Vermouth because they believe that Vermouth took advantage of Calvados' feelings for her and used him, leading him to his death. Chianti has been more vocal with her hatred than Korn.

==== Pisco (deceased) ====
Although Vermouth and [[Pisco]] are executive members, Vermouth dislikes and looks down on Pisco despite cooperating with him.<ref name="CD239d">Conan Drill page 239, {{Lang|ja|見下す}} (despise look down on}</ref>

==== Rei Furuya/Bourbon ====
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]]/ Bourbon worked with Vermouth on a plan to determine if [[Shuichi Akai]] was really dead. She made [[Scar Akai|masks that looked like Shuichi's face with a scar]] for him so he could approach Shuichi's friends and colleagues to see their reactions to him. She also interfered with his plans to capture Sherry alive by rigging the location Rei intended to trap Sherry in with explosives to kill her,and it probably had nothing to do with her being aware that Gin and Vodka probably placed a ton of explosives at the destination platform, which would have caused the entire train, and everyone on it, including her and Boubon, to blow up as well.

==== Vodka====
Throughout the series, Vermouth has not been shown as having any negative emotions regarding [[Vodka]], unlike other members of the Organization (like [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]). Vodka and Vermouth have been seen along on missions sometimes, but in general they don't pay much attention to each other.
She does tease Vodka about his lack of literary knowledge when he fails to understand how Haido Park could be a place most suited for hunting.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Jodie Starling ====
[[Jodie Starling]] has a bitter hatred for Vermouth because Vermouth murdered her father, but Vermouth doesn't have any particular animosity for Jodie beyond her being a skilled FBI adversary whom she would like to kill. Jodie thinks Vermouth is an entirely evil person. Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to students and patients while disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], so when the real Araide wonders if Vermouth is really a bad person, Jodie takes offense and angrily yells at him, "How can someone be a good person if she kills people with a smile!?"<ref>Manga Volume 45, File 2, pg 18: "The truth behind the remaining desk"</ref>

Twenty years before the current timeline, Vermouth goes to the house of Jodie's father, an FBI agent, and kills him. An eight to nine year old [[Jodie Starling]] walks in while Vermouth was trying to put his glasses back on his body and thinks her father is asleep. Vermouth tells her that she should wait for her father to wake up. When the girl asks her who is she, Vermouth replies "A secret makes a woman, woman". Vermouth burns the house down, thinking Jodie stayed behind and was killed as well. However, the girl goes out of the house to buy orange juice for her father, narrowly escaping death. She also takes her father's glasses with her, preserving the fingerprints Vermouth left on them. When Vermouth finds out Jodie's body was not in the house, she looks for her to kill her, but the FBI enrolled her in witness protection. Jodie later becomes an FBI agent in order to find her father's killer.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Vermouth and [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] don't have much personal animosity for each other in particular despite the fact that they have been hunting one another for some time. Vermouth regards Shuichi as a "silver bullet": someone with the potential to destroy the Black Organization. In accordance with this assessment, she attacks him immediately and preferentially in the confrontation with her at the docks. Shuichi seems to hit a nerve when he called her a rotten apple, wilted on the inside.

==== Kir ====
She suspects that [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] is a member of the CIA though she hasn't told anyone about it.

=== Others ===
[[File:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's dartboard. Conan's picture has "Cool guy" written on it while Ran's says "Angel."]]
==== Shinichi Kudo/ Edogawa Conan ====
After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] helped Ran save Vermouth's life in New York while she was disguised as a serial killer, she nicknames him "Cool guy".

Later in the series, after [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] successfully interfered with Vermouth's plan of killing [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], then almost forced her to surrender and take him to find the boss, she gives him another nickname - "Silver bullet" - as she believes that he has the potential to destroy the Black Organization, because he could touch her heart.

Generally, Vermouth tries to protect Shinichi when she is able to, even if it means risking her own life. Although Shinichi found out later that he unknowingly rescued Vermouth in New York City and that Vermouth was a friend of [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]], Shinichi doesn't understand why Vermouth would make the promise to give up on hunting Sherry and not inform the [[Black Organization]] about Haibara and himself.

Because of this, Conan does not react strongly when she is mentioned, as opposed to [[Haibara]]. He also seems to consider her less of a threat than the other members because he is able to bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to Head]], After Conan removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wrist watch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.

She also destroyed the box that he was connected to by many wires, so as not to possibly accidentally kill or hurt him, which pulling out the wires would have, according to Conan.

After she used sleeping gas, in order to knock him back out, so that she can escape, and not lead the Black Organization members to him.

She even covered the sleeping boy up with her coat, so that he would not get sick, since she had literally cut his shirt wide open, in order to see the wires and connected box, which may have made him sick, if he is not found right away, since it is pretty cold, and colds are spreading at this time.

She shot herself in the leg, and had to hobble some distance away from the car, so that he would remain out of sight, and no where around her, when Gin came to pick her up.

In [[the Raven Chaser]], she even provided Conan with the name of [[Irish]], and gave him a little bit of information of why the Organization is interested in this serial murder case.

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to [[Gin]], she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," in order to protect Conan.

==== Ran Mouri ====
After Ran saved Vermouth's life in New York City, Vermouth nicknames [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] "Angel". Earlier, Vermouth, as her Sharon Vineyard role, complained that her life was a series of misfortunes and, "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18" /> Even though Vermouth in disguise prepared to kill Ran later, Ran stopped Vermouth from taking a fatal fall. Vermouth was touched by this act of kindness. Much later in the story when Ran shielded Haibara from gunfire with her body, Vermouth refused to shoot Ran or allow her to be shot, instead firing around her in an attempt to frighten Ran into releasing Haibara. Although Ran does not know who Vermouth really is, she values the handkerchief that Sharon Vineyard gave her back in New York. She also describes her as "one of only two treasures in her life" (the other being Shinichi Kudo) when Ran asked her if she was or wasn't Azusa Enomoto.

'''{{nihongo|Subaru Okiya|沖矢昴|Okiya Subaru}}''' claims to be engineering student, and currently resides in [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house next to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. From his first appearance, he was strongly hinted to be the [[Black Organization]] member Bourbon—however, [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was revealed to be Bourbon.<ref>Manga Chapter 823</ref> Subaru is in fact '''[[Shuichi Akai]]''' in disguise after [[Akai's fake death technique|faking]] his death with the help of [[Conan Edogawa]] and CIA Agent [[Hidemi Hondou]].

== Background ==
[[Image:Okiya Keyhole.png‎|thumb|left|right|[[Gosho Aoyama]]'s colored drawing of Subaru Okiya in the keyhole for [[volume 60]].]]
Subaru Okiya is a graduate student attending Tohto University to earn a doctorate degree in engineering. He originally lived at a boarding house, where the landlord's son nicknamed him "Red Man," after a firetruck, because he frequently saw him watering the plants. After the boarding house burned down in the [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Red, White, and Yellow Arson Case]], [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] suggested he move into [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s house, explaining to Agasa and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] that someone living in the house would help to hide his (Shinichi's) disappearance. When Haibara protested, Conan cheerfully responded that someone who loves Sherlock Holmes cannot be a bad person - much to Haibara's consternation.<ref name=Neighbor>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 5: The New Neighbor</ref> Nevertheless, Conan decided to keep from Subaru which persons - specifically [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] - were closely connected to Shinichi.<ref>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 638 - Paper Airplane</ref>

Subaru is left-handed and greatly admires the deductive power of [[Sherlock Holmes]]. He is also an excellent detective as he was able to solve several mysteries including the paper airplane case<ref name=Paper_Airplane>Manga [[Volume 61]] File 8-10: Paper Airplane</ref>, the Ikkaku Rock case<ref name=Ikkaku_Rock>Manga [[Volume 64]] File 2-4: Ikkaku rock</ref>, and the 13 red shirts mystery.<ref name=Red_Shirts>Manga [[Volume 67]] File 5-8: 13 Red Shirts case</ref>, although he seems to possess more of Mycroftian personality when it comes to cases. He is also shown to be calm in crisis situations and quite skilled at hand to hand combat, capable of knocking a knife out of someone's hand<ref name=Speech></ref> and easily KOing a kidnapper without so much as ruffling his clothing.<ref name=252_Rescue>Manga file 755: "Communications Code"</ref> Subaru also knows how to enable the tracking function of Conan's glasses and that they track the detective boys' badges despite the fact Conan has never used the glasses in front of Subaru.<ref name=252_Rescue/>
{{clear}}

== Personality ==
Subaru is generally shown to be quiet and reserved, often seeming unfazed by normally stressful situations, such as when Ran attacked him while he was brushing his teeth, believing he had broken into Shinichi's house<ref>Manga [[Volume 61]] File 8: Paper Airplane</ref>, or when a murderer grabbed Ayumi as a hostage.<ref name=Speech>Manga [[Volume 64]] File 3: Thirst for Blood</ref> He often tends to behave in a friendly and modest manner, smiling and rubbing the back of his head whenever someone compliments him or says anything about him. He enjoys cooking and seems ready and willing to help with various tasks. He doesn't mind interacting with the [[Detective Boys]], is always polite to them, and listens to their theories during cases. He is often shown drinking bourbon whiskey.

Subaru becomes more serious while working on cases and enjoys revealing the truth to others similar to Conan. Sometimes he speaks mysteriously, leaving the meaning and intentions of what he said open to interpretation. Subaru has a more menacing side seen whenever he takes to the offensive or is intently focusing on something. In this frame of mind, Subaru triggers Haibara's Black Organization sense.

== Attributes ==
[[File:Haibara doesn't like Okiya.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Haibara senses the Black Organization aura from Subaru.]]
=== Intelligence ===
Subaru is an intelligent character with observation and case solving abilities comparable to Conan's. On his first meeting with Sonoko and Ran, he correctly deduces they had been to the restaurant "Welcome Burger" and what they had to eat while they were there.<ref name="638p">Manga Chapter 638</ref> He tends to hold back to allow Conan or others to present their conclusions rather than take center stage himself.<ref>Red, White, and Yellow case, Ikkaku Rock, Red Shirts case.</ref>

=== Black Organization aura===
Subaru emits what Haibara describes as the aura of the [[Black Organization]] when he is intently focused on another person<ref>Red, White, and Yellow case</ref> or is acting as an aggressor.<ref>Ikkaku Rock, 252 case</ref> Haibara only gets the feeling from him transiently.
[[File:Okiya knocks away a knife.gif|thumb|left|Subaru knocks a knife out of a hostage taker's hands]]

=== Hand to hand combat ===
Subaru knows [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]]. He demonstrates that he is skilled in hand to hand combat when he knocks away the knife a culprit had been using to hold Ayumi hostage with one hand and rescues her from the culprit's grasp in the same quick movement. <ref>Manga Chapter 666: Thirst For Blood</ref> He also easily KOs a kidnapper without so much as ruffling his clothing, although he later comes up with the excuse that he found the kidnapper passed out near the stairs, most likely from losing his footing.<ref name=252_Rescue>Manga file 755: "Communications Code"</ref>

Subaru is also shown to possess great physical resilience: Upon [[Deduction Showdown! Shinichi vs. Subaru Okiya|their first encounter]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], mistaking Subaru for a burglar, kicked him straight in the jaw, but unlike her many other victims, that blow failed to knock him out instantly.{{clear}}

=== Hacking ===
Subaru hacked into Kogoro's computer to see what cases he had received from his website. Later he hacked into Haibara's Phone and saw the message that Vermouth had sent her.

=== Cooking ===
Subaru is a good cook,<ref>Manga [[Volume 66]], File 7 (692): "The secret of the warehouse"</ref> although he describes his own cooking skills modestly<ref>Manga [[Volume 64]], File 1 (664): "Ikkaku rock"</ref>. He often uses cooking as an excuse to gain access to Agasa's house, or get involved in cases with Haibara, Conan, and the Detective Boys.<ref>Ikkaku rock (Manga: [[Volume 64#Ikkaku Rock Case|664-666]], Anime: [[Ikkaku Rock's Disappearing Fish|542-543]]- He promised to cook the Detective Boys fish Haunted Warehouse (Manga: [[Volume_66#Haunted_Warehouse_Case|691]], Anime: [[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|572]]) - he was able to gain access to Agasa's while Haibara was out by cooking food for the Professor Communications Code (Manga: [[Volume 72|755]], Anime: [[Emergency Situation 252|623]]) - His coverup for spying on Agasa's was that he wanted to bring over some extra curry Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: [[Volume 76|798-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|672-674]]) - Subaru probably heard via listening devices Conan had been kidnapped but Agasa's car was in for repairs, so he brought over some cream stew as an excuse to get involved</ref> Stews and soups seem to be his specialty.

== Plot overview ==
=== Timeline ===
:''Main article: [[Shuichi Akai timeline#Subaru Okiya|Shuichi Akai timeline]]

== Non-canon plot overview ==

=== Dimensional Sniper (Movie: [[Dimensional Sniper|18]]) ===
Subaru is first seen watching Agasa demonstrating his newest inventions to the detective boys from the Kudo resident. Later he is seen leaving the hospital, where Masumi Sera has been hospitalized. After that he is seen doing his own investigation into the sniper.

=== The Scarlet Bullet (Movie: [[The Scarlet Bullet|24]]) ===

== Relationships analysis ==


=== Conan Edogawa ===
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] trusts Subaru since he knows his real identity, and they maintain an amicable relationship. Conan easily lends Subaru the keys to his house.<ref name=Neighbor>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 5: The New Neighbor</ref> Conan also trusts Subaru to help in cases that put him in close contact with both [[Ai Haibara]] and him, like switching out the gasoline in a container for water to solve a case,<ref name=Crackle>Manga Volume 61 File 7: Crackle</ref> or calling him to pick up everyone when [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]’s car broke down.<ref name=Burn>Manga Volume 61 File 5: Burn</ref> Subaru respects Conan and his intelligence and they both can solve cases at about the same level. Conan tells Haibara he is trustworthy because he is a fellow [[Sherlock Holmes]] fan, much to her annoyance. Subaru is one of the few [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|characters who knows Conan is Shinichi]] after confirming [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|his earlier suspicions]] by [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|listening to Conan]] make a phone call as Shinichi.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
Subaru and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] maintain a good relationship with one another. The professor often asks him for favors, like picking the detective boys up from a fishing trip. Agasa also lets Subaru come over and cook from time to time and he will make Agasa food to return the favor, like stir-fried onions and curry. Agasa also seems well informed about when Subaru has free time and is available for favors or when he is on the road.

=== Ai Haibara ===
[[Ai Haibara]] doesn't trust Subaru because he gives her the chills which she only gets from those who have been in the Black Organization. She hides from him behind Conan when they meet in person and avoids being alone in Agasa's house when he is around. On his part, Subaru is kind to Haibara and seems to look out for her.

Haibara's opinion changes, however after [[Detectives' Nocturne|Subaru consoles]] her when Conan is being abducted by a culprit in a crime. It is revealed afterwards that this is because what he said was similar to what Shuichi Akai had once told her when he was the lover of Haibara's sister, [[Akemi Miyano]]. Because of this, Haibara gains trust in Subaru and starts calling him by his first name.<ref> Chapters 800-803:When Objects Collide </ref>

=== Rei Furuya ===
They have not directly met, though Subaru has seen [[Rei Furuya]] many times. In most instances, Subaru is the one to notice Rei but avoids Rei seeing him for some reason. During the thirteen red shirts case, both Subaru and Rei (as [[Scar Akai]]) are present with the hostages. When Subaru is about to send his deductions about the bomber's identity to Kogoro's phone, he sees Rei, and before Rei can see him, disappears from the area. During the Conan Edogawa kidnapping case, Subaru leans out the door to shoot at the tires of the car Conan's in, but Rei's car passes by him, prompting Subaru to close the door to avoid Rei. At the end of the Bell Train Mystery arc, Subaru is shown observing Rei and Vermouth from a distance with a smirk, opening one of his eyes which looks like Shuichi's and giving a strong hint that he is Shuichi. If it is true then based on what has been said about Shuichi and Rei's relation, it's likely he sees Rei as an enemy, though not to the extent that Rei views him.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[Masumi Sera]] is Shuichi Akai's younger sister. To avoid disclosing his identity, Subaru tried to avoid acting conspicuously in front of her. But one time, during the Mystery Train case, he carried the unconscious Masumi back to her room. As he was about to leave, Masumi mumbled 'Shuu-nii' in her sleep, and that made him smile.

=== Yukiko Kudo ===
[[File:Yukiko subaru.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Yukiko teaching Subaru]]
[[Yukiko Kudo]] taught Subaru disguising and cooking. She would stop by every week to check on him.

:''For the former theory, please see [[Okiya is Akai Theory|Subaru is Shuichi Theory]]''

[[File:Okiya Akai Face Compare.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Subaru and Shuichi have similar faces]]
* Subaru and Shuichi have similar appearance and habits. 
* Subaru and Shuichi are both left handed.<ref>'''Examples of Shuichi's left handedness''' 
* Shuichi prepares to attack one of the bus jackers with his left hand. (289)
* Shuichi's handgun in is his left waist-high pocket meaning it must be drawn with his left hand. (354)
* Shuichi's handling of the rifle indicates a left handed preference. He holds it with a left handed style grip, puts the rifle over his left shoulder while keeping his finger on the trigger, and pumps the rifle in a flashy way using only his left hand. (434)
* Shuichi uses his left eye to look through the scope with his left index finger on the trigger and his right hand stabilizing which is the same way Gin, who is known to be left-handed, is holding his rifle. (504)
* Shuichi uses his left hand to pull back a curtain. (599)
* Shuichi uses his left hand to pull out can of coffee, open it one handed, and pick the can up when he drops it. (600)
* In episode 552, a photo of Shuichi is used for the "next Conan hint" which is left-handed.

'''Examples of Subaru's left handedness''' 
* Subaru is brushing his teeth with his left hand. (638)
* Subaru rips a paper out of his notebook and writes on it with his left hand. (639)
* Subaru pushes up his glasses with left hand. (640)
* Subaru is holding his glass of bourbon with his left hand. (640)
* Subaru knocks away a knife using his left hand. (666)
* Subaru is using his left hand to hold the spatula while stir-frying onions. (691)
* Subaru is holding Conan's glasses in his left hand. (755)</ref>
* Conan, who knew Subaru was Shuichi and was therefore an ally, uncharacteristically broke with his normal untrusting tendencies by allowing Subaru to be close to Haibara despite multiple warnings from her. Not only did Conan continue to brush off her warnings, he came up with excuses as to why he trusted Subaru. One such excuse, "A Holmes fan can't be a bad person!" was an obvious lie as there was an entire murder case where all the suspects were Holmes fans<ref name=Holmes_case>Manga Volume 12 Files 7-10, Volume 13 File 1: Holmes Freak Murder Case</ref> and the Black Organization has used Sherlock references before.<ref name=The_Bullet>Manga Volume 24 File 10 Page 11: "The Bullet from the Past". The password for the APTX data in "Reunion With the Black Corps"M was “Sherringford” – one of the names Sir Arthur C. Doyle considered for his protagonist before choosing “Sherlock Holmes,” a likely indication that someone in the Black Organization is a fan of the detective.</ref>
* Ran felt like she has seen Subaru from somewhere.<ref name=Ran_Recognize>Manga Volume 61 File 8 Page 13: Paper Airplane</ref> Ran has met Shuichi three times that she can remember: once in New York City,<ref name=NY_Case>Manga Volume 35 File 4 Page 2: Title Golden Apple</ref> in a restaurant,<ref name=Sato>Manga Volume 33 File 1 Page 14: Sato's Engagement Bet</ref> and another time after the "[[On the Trail of a Silent Witness|Sugaru Itakura]]" arc.<ref name=White_Snow>Manga Volume 37 File 8 Page 1: White Snow, Black Shadow</ref> Shuichi had frightened and deliberately intimidated her in their first meeting<ref name=NY_Case/>, so she felt uncomfortable and decided she shouldn't talk about Shinichi with Subaru.
* Haibara began suspecting Subaru to be Dai Moroboshi. During a car chase, Subaru said the line "Don't make that kind of face"<ref name="800pg11">Volume 76, File 5, page 11, Chap 800: "Online Client"</ref> which caused Haibara to remember that Dai Moroboshi said something similar to that in the past.<ref name="802pg10">Volume 76, File 7, page 10, Chap 802: "Don't make that kind of face..."</ref> Subaru triggering Haibara's Black Organization sense also fit with this as Dai had been in the Black Organization. She even tries removing his scarf while he is sleeping but he blocks her and says "beyond here...is my area".
* Subaru and Shuichi use similar expressions. Subaru at one point admonishes Haibara "not to make that kind of face."<ref name="800pg11">Volume 76, File 5, page 11, Chap 800: "Online Client"</ref> Shuichi has used that line twice before, once to Conan in Clash of Red and Black<ref name="602pg15">Volume 58, File 5, page 15, Chap 602: "Clash of Red and Black"</ref> and once as Dai Moroboshi in Haibara's past.<ref name="802pg10">Volume 76, File 7, page 10, Chap 802: "Don't make that kind of face..."</ref> Both Shuichi and Subaru refer to the Black Organization members as wolves.<ref name="599pg6">Volume 58, File 2, Page 6, Chap 599</ref><ref name="704pg16">Volume 67, File 8, page 16, Chap 704</ref>
* Subaru was often shown drinking bourbon, which Camel had earlier stated was Akai's favorite alcoholic drink.<ref name=The_Fated>Manga Volume 65 File 3 Pages 3-4: The Fated Individual</ref>
* In the "Red, White and Yellow" case,<ref name=622p8>Manga Volume 60 File 3 Page 8: Red, White and Yellow</ref> Conan recognized the address Subaru was staying at despite never having met Subaru before.
* In the Thirteen Red Shirts case, Subaru keeps out of [[Scar Akai]]'s sight. Scar Akai at this time was Tooru Amuro who has a major grudge against Akai. Later, Subaru mocks the Black Organization who were mistakenly waiting for Scar Akai to appear. Subaru also knocks Jodie down, preventing her from chasing Scar Akai and keeping her out of sight of the Black Organization sniper that Subaru had spotted earlier. After apologizing, he tells her, "The division of fault is 50/50. You also bear some of the blame for neglecting to pay attention to your surroundings." As he blocked her from chasing the fake Akai, one can surmise that Subaru's intention may have been to hint that he was the Akai she was looking for. Eventually, this phrase led to Jodie realizing that Subaru was Akai, since Camel noted this was a phrase he frequently used.
* On the Bell Tree Express, when Subaru returned the unconscious Masumi Sera to her room, Sera whispered 'Shu-nii' (-nii being the [[Wikipedia:Japanese_honorific#Familial_honorifics|Japanese honorific]] for older brother) in her sleep and Okiya smiled, implying that he is her brother, Shuichi Akai. Subaru was also revealed to be collaborating with Yukiko and Conan.
* "Subaru Okiya", "Dai Moroboshi", and "Shuichi Akai" are all references to Mobile Suit Gundam character Char Aznable. The “Akai” (meaning red) part of Akai’s name refers to Mobile Suit Gundam character Char Aznable’s nickname “Red comet.” “Shuichi” is a reference to the voice actor of Char Aznable, Ikeda Shuichi (who incidentally became Akai’s voice actor too). Dai Moroboshi, the alias Akai used while he was undercover in the Black Organization, comes from part of Char's real name, Casval Rem Deikun, with "Dei" pronounced as "Dai" ({{lang|ja|ダイ}}) in Japanese. In Moroboshi ({{lang|ja|諸星}}), the first kanji can be broken up into {{lang|ja|言者}} which when pronounced as {{lang|ja|げんしゃ}} (gensha) sounds very similar to the word for "phenomenon" (genshō). The second character (星) means "star". Moroboshi, read as "Star phenomenon" references falling stars or maybe comets. “Subaru Okiya” is a pun on Char Aznable’s real name which is {{lang|ja|キャスバル}} “Kyasubaru” (romanized as 'Casval').<ref name=Char_Aznable>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_Aznable</ref>
* When Subaru was introduced in the "Red, White, Yellow and the Detective Boys" case, he was given the nick-name "Red Guy" (akai hito) by Kaito Sugiura, hinting at his identity as Shuichi Akai
* Subaru is very protective of his neck area, where the voice changer is. He stopped Haibara from removing his scarf. The very next chapter Ran, Sonoko and Sera ran into him while he was grooming in the bathroom and left his collar open, Subaru signaled them to Conan's location without whispering a word. He did not want any of the girl to hear his Shuichi voice, especially Sera, his sister.

==== Post-Bell Tree Express ====
* The real scarless Shuichi Akai who distracted Bourbon with a grenade appeared wearing Subaru's clothes and Masumi's hat, which was last seen in Masumi's room while Subaru was laying her down.
* When Subaru put Masumi in her cabin, Subaru reacted when Masumi said Shuu-nii (Brother Shuu) in her sleep.
* When Akai appears (Manga: [[Volume_85#Scarlet Showdown|894-897]]) behind [[Jodie Starling]] while they were in pursuit by [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]'s men and [[Yusaku Kudo]] is disguised as Subaru as Conan instructed.
* In the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'', it is revealed that Subaru is in secret communication with [[James Black]]. In addition, he surreptitiously leaves a bouquet of flowers in Masumi's hospital room after she is shot. As the movie closes, he speaks with James and after hanging up he responds with "Roger," but is voiced by Shuichi Ikeda as opposed to Ryotaro Okiayu.

=== Hints that Subaru Okiya was not Bourbon or another character ===
{{anchor|Hints that Subaru Okiya was not Bourbon or another character}}
==== Pre-Bell Tree Express ====
* Subaru knew about Conan's tracking glasses and the detective badges.<ref name=X>Chapter 755 page 14: Communications Code</ref> Conan has never used the tracking glasses in front of Subaru before. Bourbon or a third party would not be privy to Conan's gadgets. The mechanism to operate Conan's glasses isn't obvious, so only someone who knows about their existence beforehand could recognize the glasses at Agasa's and figure out how to activate the tracking function. Shuichi Akai could have heard about the glasses in several ways. The first source is when [[James Black]] was kidnapped while he had [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]'s detective badge. Conan used the badge to track down James Black. James was waiting to meet with Akai before he was kidnapped and drove away with Akai after he was rescued. Akai could have also heard about the tracking function from Jodie when Conan chased after Kir to prevent an assassination. Finally, Akai may also know about them from when Haibara borrowed the glasses to find Conan at the shipping yards at the climax of the Vermouth arc. He was present at the time and would have seen Haibara wearing them even though she has never worn glasses when Akai had seen her previously.
* Subaru was unlikely to be loyal to the Black Organization because he did not take action against Haibara after meeting her, even when she was alone or vulnerable. Bourbon's stated mission was to look for Sherry. Conan trusted Subaru around Haibara, ignored her warnings about him, and allowed Subaru to live in his house close to her despite supposedly meeting just that afternoon. Subaru also mocked the Black Organization in the Thirteen Red Shirts case. Subsequently, Haibara herself gradually overcame her fear and stayed around Subaru.
* Subaru had "the scent" of the Black Organization, which meant he was not one of Conan's other allies who has no history in the Black Organization. So far, Haibara has been correct about everyone who has "Black Organization smell"; although she sometimes does not detect certain Black Organization agents, she has never had a false positive.

== People who know Subaru's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Subaru Okiya's identity}}
The only people aware of Subaru's identity as [[Shuichi Akai]] are Conan, Agasa who made the voice changing choker, Yukiko who came up with the disguise, Yusaku and the members of the FBI. [[Rei Furuya]] seems getting close to figure out his identity in [[Volume 90]], [[Haibara]] and [[Masumi]] are also more suspicious about Subaru's secret identity.

== Name origin ==
Subaru's name comes from '''Casval''' ({{lang|ja|キャスバル}} ''K'''yasubaru''''' → {{lang|ja|キヤスバル}} '''''Kiyasubaru''''') Rem Deikun, the real name of [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] character [[wikipedia:Char Aznable|Char Aznable]], whom [[Shuichi Akai]] is also named after.

=== Situation ===
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] is invited by a famous fortune teller named Reika Shijo for an interview. [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] asks Shijo to read her fortune. Shijo tells her she will read it later and gives Ran her room key's diamond keychain as compensation. Later that evening, Shijo's guests realize she has been in her room for far too long. Unable to open her door, they see her through the outside window dead.

One of her guests, Kensuke Katsuragi, climbs to the top of Shijo's room and breaks through the glass ceiling and unlocks the door. The police arrive and their investigation reveals that Shijo's room contained a specialized key which could not be copied.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Kensuke Katsuragi'''. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] reveals that Katsuragi met with Shijo in her room and murdered her. After doing so, he took the key to her rooms, locked it, and climbed from the outside to the top of Shijo's room, cracked a small piece of the ceiling, and dropped the keys into the room. He made it a locked room, because he believed that Yuuka had a spare key and wanted her to pin the crime on her by making it appear that she was the only one who could have locked the room. As evidence, Conan reveals that despite the key being mixed in a pile of other keys, Katsuragi was able to find out which key opened the door in his first try. Katsuragi replies that he knew the key with the sapphire keychain was the one for the door; Conan reveals that the key was originally connected to a diamond keychain which is now in Ran's possession. This means that Katsuragi was the last person to meet Shijo before her death. Katsuragi confesses and revealing that Reika was demanded which he repay all of her investments. After the police arrest Katsuragi, Conan asks Ran what she wanted Shijo to read for her to which she replies [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s current whereabouts.</spoiler>

Voice-Changing Bowtie

{{InfoBox Gadget

The Voice-Changing Bowtie is the first gadget created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] for [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].

== Description ==

By turning the dial on the back Conan is able to imitate all kinds of voices that he hears. When Conan isn't wearing the bowtie, he'll usually store it away in a pocket until he needs it. This gadget is usually used together with the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], prior to receiving it, Conan was shown to knock Kogoro unconscious by kicking an ashtray.

=== Technical details ===

[[File:vlcsnap-2019-01-05-11h48m34s096.png|thumb|left|Bowtie Specifications]]
The theory behind the Voice-Changing Bowtie is that it works on a frequency modifier system based on patterns from the voice it is to emulate. Voice changers are real technology.

In the real world the Voice-Changing Bowtie has many flaws, such as the frequency response for the size of the speakers in the bowtie wouldn't be able to reproduce frequency of a voice realistically. The frequency modifier, in most cases, wouldn't be able reproduce the subtle but also distinguishable variations of another persons voice. In order to even change the sound in the first place they will need components such as a mic, speaker, processor and powerful batteries to keep it all running. Last but not least the Voice-Changing Bowtie needs to have Conan voice inverted to cancel out his voice completely, otherwise it would be present and noticeable. As this is a fictional drama with many factual references take it with a grain of salt that this is subject to a persons imagination, but these types of technology can and will be possible in the near future if they utilise extremely thin and small magnetic speakers which can accurately reproduce the frequencies accordingly, and the other components reduce drastically in size.

==Usage==
''Under Construction''

In most cases, Conan will use the bowtie to simulate Kogoro's voice (and sometimes Sonoko's) to solve a case. However, in some unique situations, Conan used the bowtie to take other people's voices. The voice-changing function on the bowtie works by turning the dial behind the left bow to a different preset number. In the anime [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Luxury_Liner_Serial_Murder_Case Episode 23], Conan mentioned in his inner speech that Kogoro Mouri's voice is stored in preset number 59.
===Kogoro Mouri===
Below is the list of episodes in which Conan mimicked Kogoro's voice. "???" means that the information needs to be verified.
