{{nihongo|'''Shinichi Kudo'''|工藤新一|Kudō Shin'ichi}} is the high school detective protagonist of the manga and anime [[Detective Conan]]. While on a date with his childhood friend and romantic interest [[Ran Mouri]], Shinichi encounters [[Gin|two]] [[Vodka|men]] from a [[Black Organization|secret criminal organization]] who force feed him [[APTX 4869|a strange poison]] that causes his body to shrink back to first grade age. Shinichi takes up the alias '''[[Conan Edogawa]]''' and plans to use his immense skill as a detective to make Ran's [[Kogoro Mouri|bumbling private detective father]] famous in hopes that he will find a case involving the secret organization so he can expose its crimes and acquire an antidote that will turn him back into a teenager.

Viz romanized his original name as ''Shin'ichi Kudo'' while Shogakukan's website romanizes it as ''Shinichi Kudoh''.

== Background ==
Shinichi is a 16-year old<ref name="f2" /><ref>[[Volume_15#File_141_-_Gone.21.3F|Volume 15, File 141, page 12: "Gone!?"]]</ref> (17, according to the anime)<ref name="e3" /> student at [[Setting#Teitan_High_School|Teitan High School]] who has become famous for helping the [[Law_Enforcement#Tokyo_Metropolitan_Police|Tokyo police]] solve murder mysteries. Shinichi was born to [[Yusaku Kudo]], a mystery writer, and [[Yukiko Kudo]], a former movie star.<ref>[[Volume 5#File 049 - An Unfamiliar Visitor|Volume 5, File 49, page 163: "An Unfamiliar Visitor"]]</ref>

The story begins when Shinichi takes his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] to a theme park, [[Tropical Land]], to celebrate her victory in a recent karate championship. During the course of their visit, Shinichi ends up solving [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|a murder case]]. He separates from Ran to follow a man in black, [[Vodka]], who was blackmailing a company president. He didn't notice when another man in black, [[Gin]], sneak up behind him and knocks him out with a baseball bat. Gin decides to test an experimental untraceable poison, [[APTX 4869]], on Shinichi to ensure that his death couldn't be traced back to them. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurs: his body shrinks into that of his six year-old self.<ref name="f2" />

[[Image:Conan Edogawa Investigating.jpg|120px|thumb|right|Conan Edogawa, the "small" Shinichi]]
=== Conan Edogawa ===
{{main|Conan Edogawa}}
After escaping from well-meaning but skeptical park security, with nowhere else to go Shinichi runs home. He there encounters into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. He convinces Agasa of his identity and head inside [[Setting#Kudo_Residence|Shinichi's home]] to discuss the next move. Agasa warns him that he must keep his identity secret because the [[Black Organization]] will kill him and others associated with him should they discover the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>

Ran arrives to find out what happened to Shinichi, which forces him to come up with the alias Conan Edogawa from [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Rampo Edogawa|Rampo '''''Edogawa''''']] and he pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's, who places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2" /> Ran's father [[Kogoro Mouri]] owns a [[Setting#Mouri_Detective_Agency|Detective Agency]], which will allow Conan to run into cases involving the Black Organization. He occasionally uses Kogoro, and Agasa, among others as a mouthpiece to solve crimes while searching for how to get his body back.

In the meantime, to protect his identity he is forced to play the part of a first-year Elementary student, enrolling as a student at [[Teitan Elementary]]. Three of his classmates, [[Ayumi]], [[Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko]], befriend him and pull him into creating the ''[[Detective Boys]]'', <ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case|Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> after which he tries to keep them out of trouble. Their group is later joined by the creator of APTX 4869, [[Shiho Miyano]], shrunk down and using the alias [[Ai Haibara]].
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi is already well-known as a brilliant young detective, the "Savior of the police force", for solving many difficult cases the professionals could not.<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]].</ref> He is extremely intelligent, and even from a young age was very intuitive and observant. Due to the influence of his father and the general laissez-faire environment at home, he has long been an incessant and persistent reader, especially of mystery novels.<ref name="f569">[[Volume 55#File 569 - The Mischievous Boy|Volume 55, Files 569-572: "The Mischievous Boy"]]</ref> His father, Yusaku started taking Shinichi to crime scenes as a child, which inspired him to be a detective.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205, pages 74-78: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref> Due to his bluntness and matter-of-fact manner, Shinichi can come off as rude and arrogant. However, he cares deeply about human life, unable to understand how any reason could be sufficient motive for murder,<ref>[[Volume 26#File 258 - Momentary Rest|Volume 26, File 258, page 71: "Momentary Rest"]]</ref> and is convinced that driving a culprit to suicide is no better than murder itself. <ref>[[Volume 16#File 153 - Bonds of Flame|Volume 16, File 153: "Bonds of Flame"]]</ref> The few times he has been too late to save a life haunt him throughout the series.

Prior to his transformation, Shinichi enjoyed being in the spotlight and was rather arrogant, reveling in making local headlines and receiving fan-mail. Throughout the series, Shinichi's predicament causes him to gain a sense of humility. Shinichi still keeps his flair for the dramatic (like his mother) that can be seen every time he sets out a deduction in pieces building to a climax.

Despite his popularity with the masses and his schoolmates, Shinichi has very few close friends. He is close to Ran and Agasa, and after deaging, he befriended Heiji, Haibara, and to some extent the other Detective Boys. Another reason for his lack of close friends was because his arrogant personality was a negative turn-off to many of his classmates and even teachers, making it hard to befriend him. Even with his close friends (one being older than him), Shinichi doesn't hesitate to call them "idiot", instead of calmly explaining his reason for doing or not doing something, sometimes causing arguments between him and Ran.

Shinichi also had a tendency, since elementary school, to have an air of being the "distant, cool guy". While he is a truly good and heroic individual, he doesn't make it known to others that obviously, and will make some "deductive reasoning" for why he did such a thing. His sensitive nature is also horrible, which was shown most prominently during the Holmes' Revelation Arc, when Ran started crying because she believed that Shinichi not telling her he was in London meant that he was indifferent to her feelings for him. However, instead of trying to comfort her, Shinichi repeatedly asked her about the [[Yukiko Kudo|strange woman]] she met, and told her to pull herself together.

Despite his intelligence, Shinichi is rather dense when it comes to love or romantic subjects, though perhaps not to the same extent as [[Heiji Hattori]]. He struggled to confess his love for to Ran, even after he knew her feelings (as Conan), and temporarily returned to his original body in the Desperate Revival Arc, he was about to confess to her, but chickened out at the last minute. After several failures, finally succeeded in [[Holmes' Revelation|London]]. However, he was revealed to be an amazing "wingman" in Episodes 253-254.

== Appearance ==
Shinichi is a 174 cm<ref name=CD41 /> (5'8.5") Japanese teenager with a thin, athletic build. He has pale skin and a dark brown/black hair with a cowlick in front and distinctive tuft in the back. Shinichi bears a striking resemblance to his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]] minus his father's mustache and round glasses. Shinichi has blue eyes in the manga (a trait shared by all the characters), and they are blue in the anime as well.

Shinichi is right handed and right footed, but he is good with both feet because of his soccer skills.

Shinichi often appears in his high school uniform, but he also wears a suit and tie or regular clothing depending on the occasion. When Conan turns back into Shinichi by using [[baijiu]] or a [[temporary antidote]], Shinichi will wear whatever appropriately sized clothing he can find at the time. He was also very popular with the girls as he was handsome not to mention a high school detective.

==Skills==
:''See also: [[Conan Edogawa#Skills|Conan's Skills]]''
=== Detective skills ===
Shinichi is very skilled as a detective, often earning him comparisons to [[Sherlock Holmes]]. Shinichi has acquired various nicknames because of his prowess, such as the "[[Wikipedia:Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and the "Detective of the East". He has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to ignore or not take into account. In the english version his motto is "Only one truth prevails". He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to recall every detail of an investigation or other topics he cares about, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Shinichi's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Shinichi has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases, something he likely acquired from incessant reading as a child. Only his father [[Yusaku Kudo]], and the current [[Kaitou Kid]], [[Kaito Kuroba]], regularly surpass him.

=== Athletic ability ===
[[File:Shinichi playing soccer 4 years ago.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Shinichi playing soccer in middle school.]]
Besides intelligence, Shinichi also has an amazing athletic ability, partially derived from playing soccer, his favorite sport. Shinichi is an extremely skilled soccer player, having been professionally scouted while only in middle school, but he chooses to stay at the amateur level. He initially played to hone his reflexes and often juggles a ball to clear his mind, but he is also an enthusiastic fan of the sport in its own right.<ref name="e1"/> In order to defend himself and others from criminals, Shinichi has perfected a signature, powerful precision kick to knock out criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Shinichi's kick is accurate over long distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing and snowboarding.

Aside from soccer, Shinichi exhibits a knack for handling firearms due to his father taking him to shooting ranges from time to time. During the Clocktower Heist, Shinichi is able to shoot and dislodge the support beam of a giant projection screen, which Kaitou Kid had placed in order to fool a crowd of onlookers, with a single shot from a moving helicopter. Additionally, in [[Movie 2]] Conan shot a gun at Ran and the criminal holding her hostage with impeccable accuracy; in doing so, he reminds her of Shinichi.

Shinichi is nimble as well as strong. In the manga, he is capable of considerable acrobatics, jumping great distances and swinging from tree to tree to escape onlookers.<ref>Shiragami case</ref> The anime and movies augment Shinichi's athletic abilities in addition to what is shown in the manga. He has been able to skillfully dodge a kicking assault from an angry Ran, something very few have ever managed.

=== Music ===
Shinichi cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being [[Wikipedia:tone deaf|tone deaf]]. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Shinichi has [[Wikipedia:perfect pitch|perfect pitch]] and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody.<ref>[[Volume 15#File 144 - Their Voices Are Alike!?|Volume 15, File 144: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref> Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in movie 12 ''[[Full Score of Fear]]'' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

=== Language ===
Shinichi is well-educated in English, as he once conversed with and translated for an American diplomat, and later solved a case in London without evidence of any language barrier.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref><ref name="f743">[[Volume 71#File 743 - Holmes' Apprentice|Volumes 71-72, Files 743-752: "Holmes' Apprentice"]]</ref> Shinichi also knows some German, at least how to count.<ref>[[Genta's Certain Kill Shot]]</ref> Shinichi is not familiar with Italian.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> Shinichi seems to understand "Girl Writing", due to the fact that he had solved an e-mail cipher of a 2nd year high school girl quickly.<ref>[[Secret of the Russian Blue| Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref>

== Plot overview ==
Because the main plot revolves around the fact that Shinichi has become 'Conan' and is forced into hiding, Shinichi is rarely in the series as himself. However, Conan is frequently shown calling Ran using his voice-changing bow tie to sound like Shinichi and sending/receiving text messages from her with "Shinichi's" phone. In these instances, it can be said that the character of Shinichi, albeit in the body of Conan, is appearing, since these phone conversations and text messages allow Shinichi to be himself, however briefly. The below instances however, are actual appearances of Shinichi as well as flashbacks from before the series began.

=== Transformations back into Shinichi ===

==== Roller Coaster Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|001-002]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|001]])====
[[Image:Shinichi appears.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi appears to correct Hattori's deduction]] Shinichi starts as himself in the Roller coaster murder case, but by the end he has been transformed into Conan, thus beginning the series' plot. Since then, Conan has temporarily turned back to Shinichi several times.

==== Great Detective of the West (Manga: [[Volume 10|092-095]], Anime: [[Diplomat Murder Case|048-049]])====
Shinichi's next real appearance after shrinking is in [[Volume 10]], when a strange detective from Osaka named [[Heiji Hattori]] arrives at Mouri Detective Agency looking for Shinichi in order to determine which of them is the better detective. A strange combination of having a cold and drinking the [[baijiu]] that Heiji had brought along allows Conan to briefly grow into Shinichi once again.<ref>[[Volume 10#File 092 - The Great Detective Of The West|Volume 10, Files 92-96: "The Great Detective Of The West"]]</ref> However, he develops an immunity to the alcohol and cannot replicate the transformation.

==== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 26|254-260]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|188-193]]) ====
In [[Volume 26]], Conan is able to become Shinichi using an [[Antidote (prototype)]] that [[Ai Haibara]] synthesized. As himself, he tries to surprise Ran by disguising himself as a character in her play, but is interrupted by a murder case and ends up revealing himself to his entire high school. [[Heiji Hattori]] covers for him and Shinichi is able to spend about 48 hours as himself, albeit with a brief collapse about halfway through. He turns back into Conan just as he seems to be about to confess his feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 26#File 254 - An Infatuated Heart|Volume 26, Files 254-260: "An Infatuated Heart"]]</ref>

==== The Murderer is Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 62|646-651]], Anime: [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|521-523]])====
Shinichi's next appearance is not until [[Volume 62]], when, while on a case with Heiji, Conan goes missing and 'Shinichi' seems to appear. The 'Shinichi' is actually someone who had gotten plastic surgery to look like Shinichi Kudo, and is actually trying to blame Shinichi for a murder. The real Shinichi hides in the forest until he can clear his name. Shinichi had been temporarily restored by another of Haibara's prototypes, but this time by accident; Agasa mistakenly gave them to Shinichi thinking they were cold medicine.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 646 - Village of Animosity|Volume 62, Files 646-651: "Village of Animosity"]]</ref> After the case is solved Shinichi transforms back to Conan, but luckily, Haibara secretly followed him there and gives him another antidote, saving him from revealing his identity to Kogoro, Ran and Kazuha. While driving home from the case, the group is stopped by another murder which Shinichi and Heiji investigate together, despite increasing pangs that warn of his imminent reversion to Conan. After the case is resolved, Ran tries to stop Shinichi from leaving, saying she has something to tell him. Shinichi stops her, saying "According to my deductions, what you have to say and what I have to say are the same thing." Ran seizes his hand while he is transforming back into Conan, and though Haibara knocks her out with Conan's wristwatch, she refuses to let go of his hand. Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] have to cut and re-pin Conan's shirt onto him because Ran is still clutching his hand and he refuses to pull out of her grip.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 652 - The Thing She Really Wants to Ask|Volumes 62-63, Files 652-654: "The Thing She Really Wants to Ask"]]</ref>

==== Holmes' Revelation (Manga: [[Volume 71|743-751]], Anime: [[Holmes' Revelation|616-621]])====
In [[Volume 71]], Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are invited to England by a rich, elite British woman, Diana Kingstone, after Kogoro finds her cat under the table in Café Poirot. However, since 'Conan Edogawa' doesn't have the proper credentials to fly internationally, Ai gives him a prototype pill so that Shinichi and Agasa can fly low-profile to England on the same plane that Ran and Kogoro are flying. Ai provides a second prototype pill for the return journey, but Conan uses it while Ran was pursuing him in London. During that trip, Shinichi answers Ran's hurt feelings over his behavior with the fact that he cares for her and that he likes her; unfortunately, before she could respond or confess in kind, Shinichi has to vanish and becomes Conan again. Luckily for Conan, Shinichi's parents appear because Ai had expected him to use the second pill, and they provide him with an extra antidote to let Conan return to Japan. <ref name="f743" />

== Relationships analysis ==
Since Shinichi is not featured as prominently as Conan throughout the series, only a few of his relationships with other characters have been substantially explored.

=== Family & Friends ===
[[Image:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Shinichi and Ran]]
==== Ran Mouri ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Ran Mouri]] is Shinichi's childhood friend and canonical love interest. They have been friends and playmates since kindergarten<ref name="f569"/><ref>[[Volume 11#File 107 - The Two Mysteries|Volume 11, File 107: "The Two Mysteries"]]</ref>, though Shinichi's tendency to drag Ran along into minor trouble caused some censure from [[Eri Kisaki|her mother]]. Shinichi has liked Ran since at least the first year of middle school, and turned down any other potential love interests as a result, but she has never realized this.<ref>[[Volume 18#File 175 - Unlock Your Heart!?|Volume 18, File 175, page 92: "Unlock Your Heart!?"]]</ref> Shinichi was similarly oblivious to Ran's regard until Ran confessed to Conan that despite his faults, which she is well aware of, she has liked Shinichi for some time.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 64: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> He is very protective of her, and has been amazed by her various skills and kindness on more than one occasion. Shinichi has since confessed his feelings to Ran in the non-[[canon]] 4th movie 'Captured In Her Eyes' (which Ran mistook as his attempt to get her memories back), and made attempts to say something during temporary cures in the manga and anime, but cases always seem to interfere until the cure runs out. Shinichi since then has finally canonically confessed to Ran in the case in London.<ref>[[Volume 72#File 752 - A Troublesome and Difficult Case|Volume 72, File 752, page 14: "A Troublesome and Difficult Case"]]</ref> Ran has yet to verbally return his confession, but Shinichi is confident he now understands how she feels already.

[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|250px|Shinichi Kudo somewhat and somehow confesses his feelings for [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to her under the Big Ben in London, during the Holmes' Revelation Arc.]]
Shinichi's initial disappearance troubled Ran to the point of insomnia and nearly going to the police. Since then, Shinichi sometimes calls Ran over the telephone and imitates his normal voice with the [[voice-changing bowtie]] so that she doesn't worry about him. He convinces her that he is off solving a very difficult case and will return once the investigation concludes.<ref>[[Volume_1#File_009_-_An_Unfortunate_Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9, Page 15: "An Unfortunate Misunderstanding"]]</ref> In reality, he is the brain behind her father's rapid rise to fame as a detective.

Shinichi/Conan is not without sexual fantasies regarding Ran, the most obvious evidence being his nosebleeds or blushing when he sees her in a bathing suit<ref>[[Volume 83#File 873 - Red Devil|Volume 83, File 873, Page 4: "Red Devil"]]</ref>, or when Ran pulled him into an [[wikipedia: onsen|onsen]] with her.<ref>[[Volume_9#File_084_-_Kogoro.27s_Class_Reunion|Volume 9, File 4: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> For her part, Ran often blushes when thinking of Shinichi, especially when Sonoko teases her about their relationship. Her attitude towards Conan is one of more open, sisterly affection, such as giving him hugs or holding his hand. Shinichi has some concerns of bodily harm should Ran realize that not only has he been lying to her, but they've shared a bed and taken a bath together.<ref>[[Volume 14#File 134 - Question In Dead Leave|Volume 14, File 134, pages 60-67: "Question In Dead Leave"]]</ref>

Shinichi and Ran appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making each of them feel the other's worry and agitation in times of extreme danger.<ref>Manga Chapters 372-373: Serial Bomber Case</ref>

{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
{{main|Kudo family}}
[[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] Kudo are both aware that [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is in fact Shinichi. His parents are even more famous than he is, with Yusaku being a famous mystery novelist and Yukiko being a retired actress who remains partially involved in the industry. They currently live in the United States and travel extensively, having left Shinichi in Japan on his own when he was fourteen. Though he sometimes finds his parents' carefree ways to be annoying, he loves them dearly. Yusaku is also a detective with the same keen eye for details, and similarly to Holmes' brother Mycroft, Yusaku always seems to solve a case one step ahead of his son.

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
Although not related by blood, there is a strong family-like bond between Shinichi and [[Hiroshi Agasa]]. Agasa was the first to know about Shinichi's shrunk predicament and was the one to tell him to keep it a secret. Most of the gadgets that Shinichi has were made by Agasa to help Shinichi catch the criminals and solve the cases as Conan. He also knows about Shinichi's romantic relationship with Ran and sometimes teases him about it in front of her (when Shinichi can't do anything about it since he is Conan).

==== Heiji Hattori ====
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo beats Heiji in their first case. Even though Heiji discovers Shinichi's secret, he decides to keep quiet (though he often slips up and calls him Kudo in front of others). After Heiji realizes the truth, the two have become best friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They have solved many cases together, and Heiji is the person Shinichi turns to for advice or for confirmation regarding a deduction. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend or brother.

Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better (or even equal), and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" (Osaka) is better than the "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives.

=== Detective Boys ===
So far, Shinichi did not canonically meet the detective boys before becoming Conan. In the non-canonical animated special, [[Magic File 2: The Case of the Mysterious Wall and the Black Lab|OVA Magic File 2]], four years prior to him becoming Conan, a thirteen-year-old Shinichi came across the Detective Boys, [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], while they were still three years old. He needed their help in confirming a client's alibi. Also, in the first live action drama and the first episode of the anime<ref>The anime was altered to introduce the Detective Boys early. In the manga they met after Shinichi became Conan.</ref>, the Detective Boys are seen sneaking into Tropical Land for treasure. Ran then says, pointing to the children, "It was like that last time, huh?" to Shinichi.

==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}

[[Ai Haibara]], a defector from the [[Black Organization]] who was shrunk with the same poison as Shinichi, is the third girl that seems to have somewhat romantic feelings for Conan/Shinichi, although she never truly admits it. Indeed, it is a mystery just exactly what she feels for him, whether friendship or otherwise. Some people, such as [[Yukiko Kudo|Conan's mother]], have stated that she has feelings for Conan. It could be said that, because of their almost equal level of intelligence as well as similarities in their pasts (i.e. they're both victims of the [[APTX 4869]]), she finds it easier to talk to him. She loves to tease him or otherwise insult him, pointing out his weakness.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Juzo Megure ====
[[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] has worked together with Shinichi to solve many cases. During Shinichi's [[The_Locked_Room_in_the_Sky:_Shinichi_Kudo%27s_First_Case|first case on the plane]], Megure mentions that he has not seen him since he was in his 6th year of Elementary school. Megure seemed irritated that Shinichi was poking his nose into a murder case. Since then, because Shinichi has proven himself solving cases one after the other, Megure has grown to respect Shinichi and his deductive abilities, thanking him for his assistance.

=== Others ===
==== Kaitou Kid ====
Despite the fact [[Toichi Kuroba|Toichi]] and Shinichi only met once prior to Toichi's death, it's worth mentioning that Toichi referred to Shinichi as his "older brother" and himself as the "younger brother". This is because Yusaku created and thus was the '''father''' of the moniker [[Kaitou Kid|Kaitou '''Kid''']], Toichi's secret identity. Toichi's son and successor, [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]], has also only crossed paths with Shinichi as Shinichi once, during the [[The_Gathering_of_the_Detectives!_Kudo_Shinichi_vs._Kaitou_Kid|Clocktower heist]]. Kaito thought Shinichi made the heist harder (and thus less boring) in [[Saguru Hakuba]]'s absence, and Shinichi found Kid's intention of 'stealing' the Clocktower in order to save it from demolition to be fairly admirable. Notably, neither of them saw the other's face.

In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi had become Conan, Kid disguised himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki Black Star pearl. When Conan cornered him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid suggested that he'd stolen all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ended up being a bluff, Conan was shocked and infuriated. In subsequent encounters between Kid and Conan, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid. In several instances he appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence; knowing Kid is close by often causes Conan to behave far more frenetically. However, in several instances, beginning with the "Big Adventure in the Eccentric Residence" case, when Kid does Conan/Shinichi a favor, such as saving Genta's life in the aforementioned case, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape unhindered.

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity and none have betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], Conan's parents, [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] also knows, but she has kept it a secret from the rest of the Organization to protect Shinichi because he had [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354.2C_Anime:_286-288.29|saved her life in New York]]. [[Eisuke Hondou]], the younger brother of C.I.A. agent [[Hidemi Hondou]], also knows and keeps Conan's secret. [[Kaitou Kid]] also knows Conan's identity in the movies, though it is not clear whether he knows Conan's secret in the actual anime and manga. However, Kid seems to know there is something unusual about Conan, as whenever he tries to publicly steal he usually reveals that he only wants to compete with Conan as thief and detective. [[Ran]] gets suspicious on occasion, but so far Conan has managed to trick her into thinking Conan and Shinichi are two different people. Finally, [[Subaru Okiya]] has seen Conan use Shinichi's voice with his bowtie voice modifier. Since Subaru Okiya is actually [[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise, this means that Akai knows about it as well.

== Character popularity ==
*In a ''Newtype'' poll from 2001, Shinichi ranked fourth in the category "Top 10 Most Popular Male Anime Characters in Japan."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2001-08-12/newtype-top-10-anime|title=Newtype top 10 Anime|date=2001-08-12|publisher=Anime News Network|accessdate=2009-06-29}}</ref> In a ''Newtype Magazine'' poll from March 2010, Shinichi was voted as the ninth most popular male anime character from the 1990's.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Newtype, Issue 4|month=March|year=2010|publisher=Kadokawa Shoten|title=NT Research}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Shinichi's given name is a pun on "one truth". The "ichi" (一) means "one" and "shin" can be read as truth (真), however the kanji actually used for "shin" (新) in Shinichi's name means "new".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C|title=WWWJDIC: Word Search|date=2011|publisher=Jim Breen|accessdate=2011-09-04}}</ref> Shinichi's family name "Kudo" comes from the fictional detective Shunsaku Kudo created by Nobumitsu Kodaka. <ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Detective Conan|volume=18|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1998-01-17 |isbn=4-09-125048-3|chapter=|page=Back cover flap|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref> The ON-readings of the kanji for "Kudo" mean "craft" or "construction" (工) and "wisteria" (藤). <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1B|title=WWWJDIC: Kanji Selection|date=2011|publisher=Jim Breen|accessdate=2011-09-04}}</ref>
"Shinichi" may also have come from "Shinichi Suzuki", a famous violinist. Shinichi Kudo plays violin.<ref>Ch 936 Ran mentions that Shinchi plays the violin very well but also mentions his tone-deafness</ref>

== Character inspiration ==
Shinichi's design was based off of Conan's. Gosho said Shinichi's hairstyle was designed in about one minute. He smoothed [[Yaiba]]'s hair and added a tuft modeled after the apostrophe hairstyle of Kabu from [[Wikipedia:Sally_the_Witch|Sally the Witch]]. The tuft on hair on the top of Shinichi's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia:Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Shinichi's speech habits were meant to be slightly rough like Joe from [[Wikipedia:Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]] and [[Wikipedia:Touch (manga)|Touch]].<ref>File 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Shinichi Kudo'''|工藤新一|Kudō Shin'ichi}} is the high school detective protagonist of the manga and anime [[Detective Conan]]. While on a date with his childhood friend and romantic interest [[Ran Mouri]], Shinichi encounters [[Gin|two]] [[Vodka|men]] from a [[Black Organization|secret criminal organization]] who force feed him [[APTX 4869|a strange poison]] that causes his body to shrink back to first grade age. Shinichi takes up the alias '''[[Conan Edogawa]]''' and plans to use his immense skill as a detective to make Ran's [[Kogoro Mouri|bumbling private detective father]] famous in hopes that he will find a case involving the secret organization so he can expose its crimes and acquire an antidote that will turn him back into a teenager.

Viz romanized his original name as ''Shin'ichi Kudo'' while Shogakukan's website romanizes it as ''Shinichi Kudoh''.

== Background ==
Shinichi is a 16-year old<ref name="f2" /><ref>[[Volume_15#File_141_-_Gone.21.3F|Volume 15, File 141, page 12: "Gone!?"]]</ref> (17, according to the anime)<ref name="e3" /> student at [[Setting#Teitan_High_School|Teitan High School]] who has become famous for helping the [[Law_Enforcement#Tokyo_Metropolitan_Police|Tokyo police]] solve murder mysteries. Shinichi was born to [[Yusaku Kudo]], a mystery writer, and [[Yukiko Kudo]], a former movie star.<ref>[[Volume 5#File 049 - An Unfamiliar Visitor|Volume 5, File 49, page 163: "An Unfamiliar Visitor"]]</ref>

The story begins when Shinichi takes his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] to a theme park, [[Tropical Land]], to celebrate her victory in a recent karate championship. During the course of their visit, Shinichi ends up solving [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|a murder case]]. He separates from Ran to follow a man in black, [[Vodka]], who was blackmailing a company president. He didn't notice when another man in black, [[Gin]], sneak up behind him and knocks him out with a baseball bat. Gin decides to test an experimental untraceable poison, [[APTX 4869]], on Shinichi to ensure that his death couldn't be traced back to them. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurs: his body shrinks into that of his six year-old self.<ref name="f2" />

=== Conan Edogawa ===
{{main|Conan Edogawa}}
After escaping from well-meaning but skeptical park security, with nowhere else to go Shinichi runs home. He there encounters into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. He convinces Agasa of his identity and head inside [[Setting#Kudo_Residence|Shinichi's home]] to discuss the next move. Agasa warns him that he must keep his identity secret because the [[Black Organization]] will kill him and others associated with him should they discover the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>

Ran arrives to find out what happened to Shinichi, which forces him to come up with the alias Conan Edogawa from [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Rampo Edogawa|Rampo '''''Edogawa''''']] and he pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's, who places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2" /> Ran's father [[Kogoro Mouri]] owns a [[Setting#Mouri_Detective_Agency|Detective Agency]], which will allow Conan to run into cases involving the Black Organization. He occasionally uses Kogoro, and Agasa, among others as a mouthpiece to solve crimes while searching for how to get his body back.

In the meantime, to protect his identity he is forced to play the part of a first-year Elementary student, enrolling as a student at [[Teitan Elementary]]. Three of his classmates, [[Ayumi]], [[Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko]], befriend him and pull him into creating the ''[[Detective Boys]]'', <ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case|Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> after which he tries to keep them out of trouble. Their group is later joined by the creator of APTX 4869, [[Shiho Miyano]], shrunk down and using the alias [[Ai Haibara]].
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi is already well-known as a brilliant young detective, the "Savior of the police force", for solving many difficult cases the professionals could not.<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]].</ref> He is extremely intelligent, and even from a young age was very intuitive and observant. Due to the influence of his father and the general laissez-faire environment at home, he has long been an incessant and persistent reader, especially of mystery novels.<ref name="f569">[[Volume 55#File 569 - The Mischievous Boy|Volume 55, Files 569-572: "The Mischievous Boy"]]</ref> His father, Yusaku started taking Shinichi to crime scenes as a child, which inspired him to be a detective.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205, pages 74-78: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref> Due to his bluntness and matter-of-fact manner, Shinichi can come off as rude and arrogant. However, he cares deeply about human life, unable to understand how any reason could be sufficient motive for murder,<ref>[[Volume 26#File 258 - Momentary Rest|Volume 26, File 258, page 71: "Momentary Rest"]]</ref> and is convinced that driving a culprit to suicide is no better than murder itself. <ref>[[Volume 16#File 153 - Bonds of Flame|Volume 16, File 153: "Bonds of Flame"]]</ref> The few times he has been too late to save a life haunt him throughout the series.

Prior to his transformation, Shinichi enjoyed being in the spotlight and was rather arrogant, reveling in making local headlines and receiving fan-mail. Throughout the series, Shinichi's predicament causes him to gain a sense of humility. Shinichi still keeps his flair for the dramatic (like his mother) that can be seen every time he sets out a deduction in pieces building to a climax.

Despite his popularity with the masses and his schoolmates, Shinichi has very few close friends. He is close to Ran and Agasa, and after deaging, he befriended Heiji, Haibara, and to some extent the other Detective Boys. Another reason for his lack of close friends was because his arrogant personality was a negative turn-off to many of his classmates and even teachers, making it hard to befriend him. Even with his close friends (one being older than him), Shinichi doesn't hesitate to call them "idiot", instead of calmly explaining his reason for doing or not doing something, sometimes causing arguments between him and Ran.

Shinichi also had a tendency, since elementary school, to have an air of being the "distant, cool guy". While he is a truly good and heroic individual, he doesn't make it known to others that obviously, and will make some "deductive reasoning" for why he did such a thing. His sensitive nature is also horrible, which was shown most prominently during the Holmes' Revelation Arc, when Ran started crying because she believed that Shinichi not telling her he was in London meant that he was indifferent to her feelings for him. However, instead of trying to comfort her, Shinichi repeatedly asked her about the [[Yukiko Kudo|strange woman]] she met, and told her to pull herself together.

Despite his intelligence, Shinichi is rather dense when it comes to love or romantic subjects, though perhaps not to the same extent as [[Heiji Hattori]]. He struggled to confess his love for to Ran, even after he knew her feelings (as Conan), and temporarily returned to his original body in the Desperate Revival Arc, he was about to confess to her, but chickened out at the last minute. After several failures, finally succeeded in [[Holmes' Revelation|London]]. However, he was revealed to be an amazing "wingman" in Episodes 253-254.

== Appearance ==
Shinichi is a 174 cm<ref name=CD41 /> (5'8.5") Japanese teenager with a thin, athletic build. He has pale skin and a dark brown/black hair with a cowlick in front and distinctive tuft in the back. Shinichi bears a striking resemblance to his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]] minus his father's mustache and round glasses. Shinichi has blue eyes in the manga (a trait shared by all the characters), and they are blue in the anime as well.

Shinichi is right handed and right footed, but he is good with both feet because of his soccer skills.

Shinichi often appears in his high school uniform, but he also wears a suit and tie or regular clothing depending on the occasion. When Conan turns back into Shinichi by using [[baijiu]] or a [[temporary antidote]], Shinichi will wear whatever appropriately sized clothing he can find at the time. He was also very popular with the girls as he was handsome not to mention a high school detective.

==Skills==
:''See also: [[Conan Edogawa#Skills|Conan's Skills]]''
=== Detective skills ===
Shinichi is very skilled as a detective, often earning him comparisons to [[Sherlock Holmes]]. Shinichi has acquired various nicknames because of his prowess, such as the "[[Wikipedia:Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and the "Detective of the East". He has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to ignore or not take into account. In the english version his motto is "Only one truth prevails". He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to recall every detail of an investigation or other topics he cares about, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Shinichi's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Shinichi has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases, something he likely acquired from incessant reading as a child. Only his father [[Yusaku Kudo]], and the current [[Kaitou Kid]], [[Kaito Kuroba]], regularly surpass him.

=== Athletic ability ===
[[File:Shinichi playing soccer 4 years ago.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Shinichi playing soccer in middle school.]]
Besides intelligence, Shinichi also has an amazing athletic ability, partially derived from playing soccer, his favorite sport. Shinichi is an extremely skilled soccer player, having been professionally scouted while only in middle school, but he chooses to stay at the amateur level. He initially played to hone his reflexes and often juggles a ball to clear his mind, but he is also an enthusiastic fan of the sport in its own right.<ref name="e1"/> In order to defend himself and others from criminals, Shinichi has perfected a signature, powerful precision kick to knock out criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Shinichi's kick is accurate over long distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing and snowboarding.

Aside from soccer, Shinichi exhibits a knack for handling firearms due to his father taking him to shooting ranges from time to time. During the Clocktower Heist, Shinichi is able to shoot and dislodge the support beam of a giant projection screen, which Kaitou Kid had placed in order to fool a crowd of onlookers, with a single shot from a moving helicopter. Additionally, in [[Movie 2]] Conan shot a gun at Ran and the criminal holding her hostage with impeccable accuracy; in doing so, he reminds her of Shinichi.

Shinichi is nimble as well as strong. In the manga, he is capable of considerable acrobatics, jumping great distances and swinging from tree to tree to escape onlookers.<ref>Shiragami case</ref> The anime and movies augment Shinichi's athletic abilities in addition to what is shown in the manga. He has been able to skillfully dodge a kicking assault from an angry Ran, something very few have ever managed.

=== Music ===
Shinichi cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being [[Wikipedia:tone deaf|tone deaf]]. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Shinichi has [[Wikipedia:perfect pitch|perfect pitch]] and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody.<ref>[[Volume 15#File 144 - Their Voices Are Alike!?|Volume 15, File 144: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref> Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in movie 12 ''[[Full Score of Fear]]'' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

=== Language ===
Shinichi is well-educated in English, as he once conversed with and translated for an American diplomat, and later solved a case in London without evidence of any language barrier.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref><ref name="f743">[[Volume 71#File 743 - Holmes' Apprentice|Volumes 71-72, Files 743-752: "Holmes' Apprentice"]]</ref> Shinichi also knows some German, at least how to count.<ref>[[Genta's Certain Kill Shot]]</ref> Shinichi is not familiar with Italian.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> Shinichi seems to understand "Girl Writing", due to the fact that he had solved an e-mail cipher of a 2nd year high school girl quickly.<ref>[[Secret of the Russian Blue| Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref>

== Plot overview ==
Because the main plot revolves around the fact that Shinichi has become 'Conan' and is forced into hiding, Shinichi is rarely in the series as himself. However, Conan is frequently shown calling Ran using his voice-changing bow tie to sound like Shinichi and sending/receiving text messages from her with "Shinichi's" phone. In these instances, it can be said that the character of Shinichi, albeit in the body of Conan, is appearing, since these phone conversations and text messages allow Shinichi to be himself, however briefly. The below instances however, are actual appearances of Shinichi as well as flashbacks from before the series began.

=== Transformations back into Shinichi ===

==== Roller Coaster Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|001-002]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|001]])====
[[Image:Shinichi appears.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi appears to correct Hattori's deduction]] Shinichi starts as himself in the Roller coaster murder case, but by the end he has been transformed into Conan, thus beginning the series' plot. Since then, Conan has temporarily turned back to Shinichi several times.

==== Great Detective of the West (Manga: [[Volume 10|092-095]], Anime: [[Diplomat Murder Case|048-049]])====
Shinichi's next real appearance after shrinking is in [[Volume 10]], when a strange detective from Osaka named [[Heiji Hattori]] arrives at Mouri Detective Agency looking for Shinichi in order to determine which of them is the better detective. A strange combination of having a cold and drinking the [[baijiu]] that Heiji had brought along allows Conan to briefly grow into Shinichi once again.<ref>[[Volume 10#File 092 - The Great Detective Of The West|Volume 10, Files 92-96: "The Great Detective Of The West"]]</ref> However, he develops an immunity to the alcohol and cannot replicate the transformation.

==== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 26|254-260]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|188-193]]) ====
In [[Volume 26]], Conan is able to become Shinichi using an [[Antidote (prototype)]] that [[Ai Haibara]] synthesized. As himself, he tries to surprise Ran by disguising himself as a character in her play, but is interrupted by a murder case and ends up revealing himself to his entire high school. [[Heiji Hattori]] covers for him and Shinichi is able to spend about 48 hours as himself, albeit with a brief collapse about halfway through. He turns back into Conan just as he seems to be about to confess his feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 26#File 254 - An Infatuated Heart|Volume 26, Files 254-260: "An Infatuated Heart"]]</ref>

==== The Murderer is Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 62|646-651]], Anime: [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|521-523]])====
Shinichi's next appearance is not until [[Volume 62]], when, while on a case with Heiji, Conan goes missing and 'Shinichi' seems to appear. The 'Shinichi' is actually someone who had gotten plastic surgery to look like Shinichi Kudo, and is actually trying to blame Shinichi for a murder. The real Shinichi hides in the forest until he can clear his name. Shinichi had been temporarily restored by another of Haibara's prototypes, but this time by accident; Agasa mistakenly gave them to Shinichi thinking they were cold medicine.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 646 - Village of Animosity|Volume 62, Files 646-651: "Village of Animosity"]]</ref> After the case is solved Shinichi transforms back to Conan, but luckily, Haibara secretly followed him there and gives him another antidote, saving him from revealing his identity to Kogoro, Ran and Kazuha. While driving home from the case, the group is stopped by another murder which Shinichi and Heiji investigate together, despite increasing pangs that warn of his imminent reversion to Conan. After the case is resolved, Ran tries to stop Shinichi from leaving, saying she has something to tell him. Shinichi stops her, saying "According to my deductions, what you have to say and what I have to say are the same thing." Ran seizes his hand while he is transforming back into Conan, and though Haibara knocks her out with Conan's wristwatch, she refuses to let go of his hand. Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] have to cut and re-pin Conan's shirt onto him because Ran is still clutching his hand and he refuses to pull out of her grip.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 652 - The Thing She Really Wants to Ask|Volumes 62-63, Files 652-654: "The Thing She Really Wants to Ask"]]</ref>

==== Holmes' Revelation (Manga: [[Volume 71|743-751]], Anime: [[Holmes' Revelation|616-621]])====
In [[Volume 71]], Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are invited to England by a rich, elite British woman, Diana Kingstone, after Kogoro finds her cat under the table in Café Poirot. However, since 'Conan Edogawa' doesn't have the proper credentials to fly internationally, Ai gives him a prototype pill so that Shinichi and Agasa can fly low-profile to England on the same plane that Ran and Kogoro are flying. Ai provides a second prototype pill for the return journey, but Conan uses it while Ran was pursuing him in London. During that trip, Shinichi answers Ran's hurt feelings over his behavior with the fact that he cares for her and that he likes her; unfortunately, before she could respond or confess in kind, Shinichi has to vanish and becomes Conan again. Luckily for Conan, Shinichi's parents appear because Ai had expected him to use the second pill, and they provide him with an extra antidote to let Conan return to Japan. <ref name="f743" />

In Movie 7, Heiji was injured and Kazuha kidnapped; her abductors threatened to kill her unless Heiji showed up for her. Believing Heiji to be unable to do so, Conan contacted Ai and asked if there was any way for him to briefly become Heiji. Ai gave him medicine to simulate the effects of a cold, then he drank some [[Baijiu]] which had changed him in his and Heiji's first manga appearance. Conan became Shinichi for approximately an hour, but according to Ai he was extremely weak and sick for the entire time.

{{main|The Stranger from Ten Years Later}}
In OVA 9, Conan takes another prototype antidote. However, it proves less effective than the prototype he used during the Desperate Revival arc; Conan became Shinichi, but only for a few hours, and remained in a feverish state, unable to wake up until he had reverted back to Conan. During his time unconscious, he had a vivid hallucination that he had grown to age 17 again as Conan and that Ran, aged 27, was about to marry [[Tomoaki Araide]].

== Relationships analysis ==
Since Shinichi is not featured as prominently as Conan throughout the series, only a few of his relationships with other characters have been substantially explored.

=== Family & Friends ===
[[Image:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Shinichi and Ran]]
==== Ran Mouri ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Ran Mouri]] is Shinichi's childhood friend and canonical love interest. They have been friends and playmates since kindergarten<ref name="f569"/><ref>[[Volume 11#File 107 - The Two Mysteries|Volume 11, File 107: "The Two Mysteries"]]</ref>, though Shinichi's tendency to drag Ran along into minor trouble caused some censure from [[Eri Kisaki|her mother]]. Shinichi has liked Ran since at least the first year of middle school, and turned down any other potential love interests as a result, but she has never realized this.<ref>[[Volume 18#File 175 - Unlock Your Heart!?|Volume 18, File 175, page 92: "Unlock Your Heart!?"]]</ref> Shinichi was similarly oblivious to Ran's regard until Ran confessed to Conan that despite his faults, which she is well aware of, she has liked Shinichi for some time.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 64: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> He is very protective of her, and has been amazed by her various skills and kindness on more than one occasion. Shinichi has since confessed his feelings to Ran in the non-[[canon]] 4th movie 'Captured In Her Eyes' (which Ran mistook as his attempt to get her memories back), and made attempts to say something during temporary cures in the manga and anime, but cases always seem to interfere until the cure runs out. Shinichi since then has finally canonically confessed to Ran in the case in London.<ref>[[Volume 72#File 752 - A Troublesome and Difficult Case|Volume 72, File 752, page 14: "A Troublesome and Difficult Case"]]</ref> Ran has yet to verbally return his confession, but Shinichi is confident he now understands how she feels already.

[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|250px|Shinichi Kudo somewhat and somehow confesses his feelings for [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to her under the Big Ben in London, during the Holmes' Revelation Arc.]]
Shinichi's initial disappearance troubled Ran to the point of insomnia and nearly going to the police. Since then, Shinichi sometimes calls Ran over the telephone and imitates his normal voice with the [[voice-changing bowtie]] so that she doesn't worry about him. He convinces her that he is off solving a very difficult case and will return once the investigation concludes.<ref>[[Volume_1#File_009_-_An_Unfortunate_Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9, Page 15: "An Unfortunate Misunderstanding"]]</ref> In reality, he is the brain behind her father's rapid rise to fame as a detective.

Shinichi/Conan is not without sexual fantasies regarding Ran, the most obvious evidence being his nosebleeds or blushing when he sees her in a bathing suit<ref>[[Volume 83#File 873 - Red Devil|Volume 83, File 873, Page 4: "Red Devil"]]</ref>, or when Ran pulled him into an [[wikipedia: onsen|onsen]] with her.<ref>[[Volume_9#File_084_-_Kogoro.27s_Class_Reunion|Volume 9, File 4: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> For her part, Ran often blushes when thinking of Shinichi, especially when Sonoko teases her about their relationship. Her attitude towards Conan is one of more open, sisterly affection, such as giving him hugs or holding his hand. Shinichi has some concerns of bodily harm should Ran realize that not only has he been lying to her, but they've shared a bed and taken a bath together.<ref>[[Volume 14#File 134 - Question In Dead Leave|Volume 14, File 134, pages 60-67: "Question In Dead Leave"]]</ref>

Shinichi and Ran appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making each of them feel the other's worry and agitation in times of extreme danger.<ref>Manga Chapters 372-373: Serial Bomber Case</ref>

{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
{{main|Kudo family}}
[[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] Kudo are both aware that [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is in fact Shinichi. His parents are even more famous than he is, with Yusaku being a famous mystery novelist and Yukiko being a retired actress who remains partially involved in the industry. They currently live in the United States and travel extensively, having left Shinichi in Japan on his own when he was fourteen. Though he sometimes finds his parents' carefree ways to be annoying, he loves them dearly. Yusaku is also a detective with the same keen eye for details, and similarly to Holmes' brother Mycroft, Yusaku always seems to solve a case one step ahead of his son.

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
Although not related by blood, there is a strong family-like bond between Shinichi and [[Hiroshi Agasa]]. Agasa was the first to know about Shinichi's shrunk predicament and was the one to tell him to keep it a secret. Most of the gadgets that Shinichi has were made by Agasa to help Shinichi catch the criminals and solve the cases as Conan. He also knows about Shinichi's romantic relationship with Ran and sometimes teases him about it in front of her (when Shinichi can't do anything about it since he is Conan).

==== Heiji Hattori ====
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo beats Heiji in their first case. Even though Heiji discovers Shinichi's secret, he decides to keep quiet (though he often slips up and calls him Kudo in front of others). After Heiji realizes the truth, the two have become best friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They have solved many cases together, and Heiji is the person Shinichi turns to for advice or for confirmation regarding a deduction. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend or brother.

Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better (or even equal), and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" (Osaka) is better than the "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives.

=== Detective Boys ===
So far, Shinichi did not canonically meet the detective boys before becoming Conan. In the non-canonical animated special, [[Magic File 2: The Case of the Mysterious Wall and the Black Lab|OVA Magic File 2]], four years prior to him becoming Conan, a thirteen-year-old Shinichi came across the Detective Boys, [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], while they were still three years old. He needed their help in confirming a client's alibi. Also, in the first live action drama and the first episode of the anime<ref>The anime was altered to introduce the Detective Boys early. In the manga they met after Shinichi became Conan.</ref>, the Detective Boys are seen sneaking into Tropical Land for treasure. Ran then says, pointing to the children, "It was like that last time, huh?" to Shinichi.

==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}

[[Ai Haibara]], a defector from the [[Black Organization]] who was shrunk with the same poison as Shinichi, is the third girl that seems to have somewhat romantic feelings for Conan/Shinichi, although she never truly admits it. Indeed, it is a mystery just exactly what she feels for him, whether friendship or otherwise. Some people, such as [[Yukiko Kudo|Conan's mother]], have stated that she has feelings for Conan. It could be said that, because of their almost equal level of intelligence as well as similarities in their pasts (i.e. they're both victims of the [[APTX 4869]]), she finds it easier to talk to him. She loves to tease him or otherwise insult him, pointing out his weakness.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Juzo Megure ====
[[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] has worked together with Shinichi to solve many cases. During Shinichi's [[The_Locked_Room_in_the_Sky:_Shinichi_Kudo%27s_First_Case|first case on the plane]], Megure mentions that he has not seen him since he was in his 6th year of Elementary school. Megure seemed irritated that Shinichi was poking his nose into a murder case. Since then, because Shinichi has proven himself solving cases one after the other, Megure has grown to respect Shinichi and his deductive abilities, thanking him for his assistance.

=== Others ===
==== Kaitou Kid ====
Despite the fact [[Toichi Kuroba|Toichi]] and Shinichi only met once prior to Toichi's death, it's worth mentioning that Toichi referred to Shinichi as his "older brother" and himself as the "younger brother". This is because Yusaku created and thus was the '''father''' of the moniker [[Kaitou Kid|Kaitou '''Kid''']], Toichi's secret identity. Toichi's son and successor, [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]], has also only crossed paths with Shinichi as Shinichi once, during the [[The_Gathering_of_the_Detectives!_Kudo_Shinichi_vs._Kaitou_Kid|Clocktower heist]]. Kaito thought Shinichi made the heist harder (and thus less boring) in [[Saguru Hakuba]]'s absence, and Shinichi found Kid's intention of 'stealing' the Clocktower in order to save it from demolition to be fairly admirable. Notably, neither of them saw the other's face.

In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi had become Conan, Kid disguised himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki Black Star pearl. When Conan cornered him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid suggested that he'd stolen all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ended up being a bluff, Conan was shocked and infuriated. In subsequent encounters between Kid and Conan, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid. In several instances he appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence; knowing Kid is close by often causes Conan to behave far more frenetically. However, in several instances, beginning with the "Big Adventure in the Eccentric Residence" case, when Kid does Conan/Shinichi a favor, such as saving Genta's life in the aforementioned case, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape unhindered.

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity and none have betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], Conan's parents, [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] also knows, but she has kept it a secret from the rest of the Organization to protect Shinichi because he had [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354.2C_Anime:_286-288.29|saved her life in New York]]. [[Eisuke Hondou]], the younger brother of C.I.A. agent [[Hidemi Hondou]], also knows and keeps Conan's secret. [[Kaitou Kid]] also knows Conan's identity in the movies, though it is not clear whether he knows Conan's secret in the actual anime and manga. However, Kid seems to know there is something unusual about Conan, as whenever he tries to publicly steal he usually reveals that he only wants to compete with Conan as thief and detective. [[Ran]] gets suspicious on occasion, but so far Conan has managed to trick her into thinking Conan and Shinichi are two different people. Finally, [[Subaru Okiya]] has seen Conan use Shinichi's voice with his bowtie voice modifier. Since Subaru Okiya is actually [[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise, this means that Akai knows about it as well.

== Character popularity ==

== Name origin ==
Shinichi's given name is a pun on "one truth". The "ichi" (一) means "one" and "shin" can be read as truth (真), however the kanji actually used for "shin" (新) in Shinichi's name means "new".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C|title=WWWJDIC: Word Search|date=2011|publisher=Jim Breen|accessdate=2011-09-04}}</ref> Shinichi's family name "Kudo" comes from the fictional detective Shunsaku Kudo created by Nobumitsu Kodaka. <ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Detective Conan|volume=18|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1998-01-17 |isbn=4-09-125048-3|chapter=|page=Back cover flap|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref> The ON-readings of the kanji for "Kudo" mean "craft" or "construction" (工) and "wisteria" (藤). <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1B|title=WWWJDIC: Kanji Selection|date=2011|publisher=Jim Breen|accessdate=2011-09-04}}</ref>
"Shinichi" may also have come from "Shinichi Suzuki", a famous violinist. Shinichi Kudo plays violin.<ref>Ch 936 Ran mentions that Shinchi plays the violin very well but also mentions his tone-deafness</ref>

== Character inspiration ==
Shinichi's design was based off of Conan's. Gosho said Shinichi's hairstyle was designed in about one minute. He smoothed [[Yaiba]]'s hair and added a tuft modeled after the apostrophe hairstyle of Kabu from [[Wikipedia:Sally_the_Witch|Sally the Witch]]. The tuft on hair on the top of Shinichi's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia:Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Shinichi's speech habits were meant to be slightly rough like Joe from [[Wikipedia:Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]] and [[Wikipedia:Touch (manga)|Touch]].<ref>File 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Ginzo Nakamori|中森銀三|Nakamori Ginzō}}''', known in the [[Funimation]] dub as '''Mace Fuller''', is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Nakamori is an inspector for the Tokyo district. His division is nominally devoted to fraud cases, but he spends most of his time and energy capturing the gentleman thief [[Kaitou Kid]].

== Background ==
Nakamori has been dealing with Kaitou Kid ever since he first joined the police force, not knowing that he has been dealing with the original Kaitou Kid, [[Toichi Kuroba]], and the new Kaitou Kid, Toichi's son [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]], who is best friends and the romantic interest of his daughter [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]]. Nakamori used to be a homicide police inspector, but gave that up to focus his time more on Kid.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-09-29-02h50m28s118.png|thumb|left|200px|Nakamori gleefully seizes the unsuspecting Kid's wrists.]]
Nakamori has a fiery and boisterous personality, always yelling to direct his officers and losing his cool when one of his plans goes awry. Nakamori is extremely self confident. He is usually very self-assured his plans will work and cackles madly to himself at the thought of Kaitou Kid being caught in them. His many failures don't stop him from proudly declaring on live news broadcasts he will surely nab the Kid next time. Nakamori's experience in chasing Kid is balanced by his impulsivity which is his downfall. After a surprise, Nakamori is typically drawn into chasing a Kaitou Kid dummy or shutting off the defensive measures instead of wisely making sure that Kaitou Kid isn't still on the scene or only pretending to have bypassed security (which is often really the case).

Though a dedicated and capable police officer, Nakamori is always outsmarted by Kid, and even when he captures Kid, Kid somehow finds a way to escape. Nakamori doesn't like asking for help, but heavily appreciates the work of [[Conan Edogawa]], who often lends him a hand in trying to outsmart and capture the Kid. All of the Kid's cases that involved Conan, end with the Kid giving back the treasure that he robs.

Despite his intense dislike for Kid, Nakamori respects his rival's personality and sense of honor, willingly acknowledging that murder or similar capital crimes are completely out of the question for Kid. He becomes depressed and worried when Kid doesn't send out notices in a while because it means he has nothing to do; the return of Kaitou Kid pleased him greatly.

== Relationships analysis ==

=== Family & Friends ===

==== Kaito Kuroba ====
Nakamori does not often interact with Kaito's civilian persona, but he does know that Kaito is the son of a renowned magician and quite skilled in magic himself. Because of this, he will sometimes ask for Kaito's assistance and advice on various strategies to capture Kaitou Kid.

At one point, Nakamori began to suspect that Kaito was in fact Kaitou Kid. He later dismissed this theory when Kaitou Kid showed off his disguise skills, boasting that he could appear to be anyone.

==== Aoko Nakamori ====
Though he loves his daughter [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]], Nakamori is often too busy pursuing Kaitou Kid to spend time with her (on one occasion even forgetting her birthday). On rare occasions, even he will find her tempers intimidating.

=== Other ===

==== Saguru Hakuba ====
Nakamori is usually dismissive of [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]], and seems to mostly tolerate the teenage detective because of his status as Superintendent-General Hakuba's son. However, he will occasionally accept Hakuba's help when Hakuba seems to have developed a particularly brilliant strategy to capture Kid.

==== Shintaro Chaki ====
Nakamori mostly maintains a cordial, professional relationship with his immediate superior in the police department, despite the fact that Chaki is typically far less impatient than he is.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
Though his interactions with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] have been limited thus far, Nakamori seems to have taken a liking to the young boy and his propensity to frustrate Kid's schemes, and is willing to listen to his suggestions and questions.

==== Jirokichi Suzuki ====
Nakamori is often exasperated by [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi Suzuki]]'s boisterous, self-centered personality and constant flaunting of wealth, though he will usually do his best to cooperate with the Suzuki Corporation adviser's many plans to capture Kaitou Kid.

== Name origin ==
* Like other characters in ''Magic Kaito'', Nakamori's name contains a color. The "gin" in Nakamori's first name means "silver".
* The surname "Nakamori" comes from [[wikipedia:Akina Nakamori|Akina Nakamori]].<ref>Love Conan - Meitantei Conan Official Fan Book for Girls</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Nakamori can be compared to Inspector Zenigata from Lupin the 3rd. Like Nakamori, Zenigata focuses his whole sole career around chasing a master thief of a renown lineage (Arsène Lupin III). Both are respected officers of the law, both are talented enough to keep up with and challenge their target, and both respect their targets despite their opposing positions of the law. Unlike Zenigata though, Nakamori seems more content on finally arresting Kid once and for all, while Zenigata has gone crazy during times Lupin was in jail (once intentionally staying there longer just to push Zenigata's buttons). It seems while Nakamori wants to arrest Kid based on his beliefs of the law, Zenigata's pursuit of Lupin has gone to the point of that is what he wants to do his whole life.

'''{{nihongo|Aoko Nakamori|中森青子|Nakamori Aoko}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Kaito Kuroba]].

== Background ==
Aoko has been [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]]'s best friend ever since they were young children, much like [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] in Detective Conan. Aoko currently attends Ekoda High School as a second-year student in class 2-B along with Kaito, [[Keiko Momoi|Keiko]], [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]], and [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]]. Aoko dislikes the [[Kaitou Kid]] for making a mockery of her father, [[Ginzo Nakamori]], but is unaware that Kid is actually her best friend in disguise.

== Personality ==
[[File:Aoko personality.PNG|thumb|left|125px|Aoko declares to her father she will go on a date with Kaito to prove he isn't the Kaitou Kid.]]
Aoko has a temperamental personality, sweet and gentle at one moment, then boisterous and fiery at the next. Like her father, she is impulsive, easily riled up, and often shouts. Kaito and Kaitou Kid in particular are often the trigger for bouts of loud, violent displays. She also has a mischievous side, using Kaito's weakness for fish to get revenge on him for harassing her.

Aoko has a tendency to refer to herself in the third-person, which is considered 'cutesy' and childish in Japan. She is also shown to dress rather childishly, in skirts and cardigans when she's not in her school uniform.

Aoko is shown to be very intelligent. However, she may also have rather low self-esteem. Once, to prove that Kaito wasn't the Kid, she asked him out on date on the day of a Kid heist. Kaito, taken aback, snaps "Why would I go out with an ugly girl like you?" to which she tearfully replies "I know...but please!" <ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=1 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=4 | title=Kid's Busy Day|language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref>

Aoko does not like being alone; she blames Kaitou Kid for stealing her father from her because she wishes her dad was at home more instead of chasing Kaitou Kid.

== Relationships analysis ==
[[Image:Kaito and Aoko.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Kaito and Aoko.]]
==== Kaito Kuroba ====
{{main|Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori}}
[[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] and Aoko Nakamori have been best friends since they were little and first met at the clock tower. They are portrayed as a similar pairing to Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri (including how the characters are drawn), except much sillier. Kaito often teases Aoko by flipping her skirt. However, it has been seen that Kaito is quite protective of Aoko and doesn't appear to want her to go on a date with Saguru Hakuba. Aoko was somewhat suspicious that Kaito was actually Kaitou Kid, and in order to prove his innocence, she brought him along to a movie when a heist had been scheduled. She handcuffed him to the seat, but Kaito managed to escape and pull off the heist, thus veering Aoko's suspicions away from him. Although neither has admitted it as of yet, it is shown that the two have feelings for each other.

In the last chapter of ''[[Yaiba]]'' a scene set after a three years timeskip has [[Keiko Momoi]] telling [[Sayaka Mine]] that Kaito and Aoko are a couple now, while [[List of minor Magic Kaito characters#Notable minor characters|Keiko's friend]] confirms having seen them together.

[[Image:MK9 139.png|200px|thumb|right|Hakuba and Aoko.]]

==== Saguru Hakuba ====
Prior to the heist in Volume 3, Chapter 3, [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]] seems to flirt with Aoko after Kaito turns down Aoko's offer to go to the Prince Prince concert. Hakuba and Kaito then make a bet that if Hakuba manages to catch Kid then Hakuba will go to the concert with Aoko, and if he fails to capture the thief, Kaito will go instead. When interviewed before the heist, Hakuba notes "Tonight's battle has a special meaning to me".<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Kaitou Under Scrutiny |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref> Although initially excited to have Hakuba want to go to the concert with her, Aoko during the actual heist seems to want Hakuba to fail so that she can go to the concert with Kaito instead. This relationship has not been touched upon much since then because of Hakuba's limited appearances in ''Magic Kaito'' and ''Detective Conan''.

== Plot overview ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-11-15-18h29m28s117.png|thumb|right|Aoko hits Kaito with a mop.]]
Aoko has been friends with [[Kaito Kuroba]] since they were both small children.<ref>''Detective Conan'' [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Kudo Shinichi vs. Kaitou Kid|'''Episode 219''': The Gathering of the Detectives! Kudo Shinichi vs. Kaitou Kid (2 Hour Special)]]</ref> However, they frequently bicker and fight; she seems to be the target of many of Kaito's pranks, to which she retaliates by attempting to bludgeon him with whatever she can get her hands on (often a mop).<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=1 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=1 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref>

Aoko hates the [[Kaitou Kid]] for humiliating her father, [[Ginzo Nakamori]]. This is partly why Kaito has to go to such lengths to keep his identity hidden from her. However, Kaito has come under suspicion of being the Kaitou Kid several times. In one instance, Aoko went to great lengths to prove Kaito innocent: she asked him out on the day the heist was supposed to take place, and then during the actual time of the heist she handcuffed Kaito to her. Kaito, however, was able to escape and use a dummy to fool Aoko into thinking that he had been with her the entire time.

Aoko frequently attends Kaitou Kid heists, similar to how [[Ran Mouri]] attends many of her father's mystery cases. Kaito has not had to prove his 'innocence' to her recently, which suggests that she now 'trusts' him.

* Aoko shares a voice actor with Conan for her appearance in Detective Conan OVA 4 and Episode 219.
* Unlike her counterparts Ran and Kazuha, it has been suggested that Aoko has a high level of intelligence at least approaching that of her 'love-interest' Kaito. In the first file of the ''Magic Kaito'' manga, the two are causing havoc in the classroom; the teacher tries to get them to focus by asking first Kaito, then Aoko to answer a complicated math problem on the board, but both answer her question with hardly a glance at the board and continue with their mayhem.

'''{{nihongo|Kaito Kuroba|黒羽快斗|Kuroba Kaito}}''' is the main character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', and a recurring character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is the current '''[[Kaitou Kid]]''' and the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Aoko Nakamori]].

== Background ==
Kaito is a second-year student at Ekoda High School Class 2-B alongside his childhood friend [[Aoko Nakamori]], the witch [[Akako Koizumi]], and transfer student detective [[Saguru Hakuba]]. Kaito discovers [[Toichi Kuroba|his father]]'s identity as the original [[Kaitou Kid]] after eight years following his death thanks to a secret room inside his house as well as talking with his father's attendant and friend, [[Konosuke Jii]]. Wanting to pick up where Jii left off, Kaito continues to be Kaitou Kid in an effort to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|his father's murderers]] by making Kid a world-famous thief once again.

== Personality and Skills==
[[File:vlcsnap-2013-10-10-17h54m48s62.png|thumb|left|Kaito rejects Akako because of her arrogance.]]
According to Hakuba's analysis during his search for Kaitou Kid's identity, Kaito is 174 cm (5' 8.5") tall, weighs 58 kg (128 lbs), has an IQ of 400, and is blood type 'B'.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=86-87 }}</ref>

Kaito as his normal self seems to be rather popular in school although he tends to get in trouble with the ladies, particularly Aoko, for flipping up their skirts or peeking on them in the locker room. He is a compulsive trickster who loves to demonstrate his magic tricks and share them with others, and hates to see people upset. Kaito seems to be quite good at many things, including skiing,<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Let Go of Him |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref> but (much to Aoko's amusement) cannot ice skate<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=The Great Detective Appears!! |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=36 }}</ref> or play billiards.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Hustler vs. Magician |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref>

Although he hasn't demonstrated it while in full costume, Kaito has an extreme fear of fish (ichthyophobia) to the point where he freaks out upon seeing Aoko wear fish-print underwear one day.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Hustler vs. Magician |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=158 }}</ref> In OVA 10, while in the process of escaping Trap Island, a fish flops into his escape rowboat and he panics.<ref>OVA 10: Kid in Trap Island</ref>

In some episodes and chapters, it is shown that Kaito is ambidextrous. He is sometimes shown using his left hand, but his right hand is dominant for tricks that require one hand only.

{{main|Kaito Kuroba Appearances}}

===Magic Kaito===
The day after the Kaitou Kid makes his return after an eight-year hiatus, Kaito stumbles through a trap door in his room and discovers that his father, [[Toichi Kuroba]], was the original Kaitou Kid. Kaito dons his father's costume to discover the identity of the new Kaitou Kid, revealed to be his father's old assistant [[Konosuke Jii]]. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi had been murdered eight years ago, and that he had dressed as the Kid and staged the heist in order to lure Toichi's killers.

So Kaito adopts the mantle of the Kid, having proven that he is more skilled than the aging and serious Jii. As the Kaitou Kid, Kaito stages several high-profile jewel heists with the intention of smoking out his father's killers (although he seems to be enjoying himself in the process). It isn't until the ''Blue Birthday'' heist that the murderers appear and reveal that they are searching for the doublet red-coloured gem [[Pandora]], said to shed tears of immortality during the passing of a particular comet. Upon realizing [[Magic Kaito Organization|the organization's]] aim and that his father was killed for his refusal to aid them in retrieving Pandora, Kaito vows as Kaitou Kid to find the Pandora gem first and destroy it.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Blue Birthday |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=144 }}</ref>

===Detective Conan===
Since then, he has appeared in several Detective Conan cases. [[File:Vlcsnap-2013-12-08-20h39m58s203.png|200px|thumb|right| A young Kaito Kuroba offers Yukiko Kudo a flower.]]If his target is a gem, he always holds it up to the moonlight, presumably to check if it's the Pandora gem, before returning it, even if Conan seemingly has him cornered.

In other instances, Kid has staged heists when people such as [[Jirokichi Suzuki]] have called him out, or when criminals have used the Kaitou Kid's name to deflect blame from themselves, as in the Sunset Mansion case or the Seiran case. He also appeared in the Ryoma case to expose several counterfeiters who were pretending to possess items that another thief called the Phantom Lady had stolen years ago. At that time, Kid implied that he may be a family relation of the 'Phantom Lady'.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=70 |chapter=74 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo }}</ref>

A young Kaito also appeared in a flashback during which Conan recalled a riddle that he and Ran had tried to solve when they were in first grade. It turned out that the 'riddler' had been the original Kaitou Kid, [[Toichi Kuroba]], who seemed to be a friend of [[Yusaku Kudo]].

In chapter 824, Kid had played a significant role in main Detective Conan plot by disguising as Sherry under Conan's request. Their plan successfully tricked the Black Organization into believing she is dead.

====Non-Canon Detective Conan Overview====
In [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]], it's revealed that Kaito knew Conan's real identity of Shinichi Kudo. He helped Conan who was thrown out of the airship and they worked together to get back. Kaito has disguised himself as Shinichi four times, in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]], in [[Magician of the Silver Sky]], in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]], and in [[Sunflowers of Inferno]] which led Sato and Takagi to suspect that Shinichi was Kaitou Kid. The two later share their suspicion with Heiji to which he responded with an 'Are you kidding me?' face.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
[[Image:vlcsnap-2013-09-21-03h04m55s93.png|250px|thumb|right|Kaito and Aoko.]]
==== Aoko Nakamori ====
{{main|Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori}}
Kaito and [[Aoko Nakamori]] have been best friends since they were little and first met at the clock tower.<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/The_Gathering_of_the_Detectives!_Shinichi_Kudo_vs._Kaitou_Kid "Episode 219: The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid"]</ref> They are portrayed as a similar pairing to [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Ran Mouri]] (including how the characters are drawn) and [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Kazuha Toyama]], except much sillier. Kaito often teases Aoko by flipping her skirt. However, it has been seen that Kaito is quite protective of Aoko and doesn't appear to want her to go on a date with [[Saguru Hakuba]]. Aoko was somewhat suspicious that Kaito was actually Kaitou Kid, and in order to prove his innocence, she brought him along to a movie when a heist had been scheduled. She handcuffed him to the seat, but Kaito managed to escape and pull off the heist, thus veering Aoko's suspicions away from him. The two appear to have feelings for each other, but neither has admitted it as of yet.

In the last chapter of ''[[Yaiba]]'' a scene set after a three years timeskip has [[Keiko Momoi]] telling [[Sayaka Mine]] that Kuroba and Nakamori are a couple now, while [[List of minor Magic Kaito characters#Notable minor characters|Keiko's friend]] confirms having seen them together.

==== Akako Koizumi ====
[[File:Displeased_with_Akako.png|thumb|right|250px|Kaito wishes he was with Aoko instead.]]
Since [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]]'s first appearance in Volume 1, she's attempted to get Kaito to fall head over heels for her using whatever means necessary, including using a voodoo doll and hurting him in the process. Akako's obsession with Kaito comes from Kaitou Kid, whom she realizes is Kaito, being the only man on Earth able to resist her. Despite Akako injuring Kaito during their first confrontation, Kaito as Kid behaves like a complete gentleman and encourages Akako to be herself in order to get someone to like her instead of forcing them through witchcraft.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=1 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-05-15 |isbn=4-09-122081-9 |chapter=The Scarlet Temptress |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 180}}</ref> Akako grows to have great concern for Kaito as evidenced by her warning Kaito<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122083-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 93-95}}</ref> against going to a heist and later assisting Kaitou Kid to escape safely from the heist that she had foreseen him being captured at.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122083-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 100-103}}</ref> In Volume 2, Akako openly states she likes Kaito in front of Aoko.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Let Go of Him |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 11}}</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Saguru Hakuba ====
[[File:2013_7_6_19_58_14.png|thumb|right]]
The relationship between [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]] and Kaito is a rather tense one; since Hakuba convinced himself early on that Kaito was instead Kid, and during the first few volumes he's constantly throwing out offhand comments that show his suspicion. However, later on in the manga, we have a small scene where Hakuba calls Kaito from Paris in order to give him some information on 'Chat Noir', a dangerous, fellow gem thief trying to outshine Kid.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=4 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Golden Eye Part 1 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 18}}</ref> Though Kaito continues to vehemently deny being Kid, Hakuba gives him the information anyways, ending the conversation with, "Do your best at least. I don't want to see you lose to anyone before I capture you myself". Whether or not that was his actual motive, or if he was merely concerned for Kaito's well being, is unknown.

=== Others ===
==== Conan Edogawa ====
{{Main|Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba}}
[[File:名侦探柯南-515-DVD003348.jpg|thumb|right]]
In the manga, Kid and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] are rivals. Ever since Kaito met Conan, Kaito always seems to be anticipating Conan's appearance at his heists. Conan makes the heists more interesting for Kaito, while Conan views Kaito's heists as entertainment.

Before being shrunk, Shinichi had encountered Kaitou Kid once during the Clock Tower heist, though they did not meet face-to-face. In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi had become Conan, Kid disguised himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki Black Star pearl. When Conan cornered him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid suggested that he'd stolen all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ended up being a bluff, Conan was shocked and infuriated. In subsequent encounters between Kid and Conan, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid.

Since then, Conan is usually a serious threat to Kid's plans and stops Kid often enough from escaping with the jewel that Conan has gained reputation in the press as Kid's "natural enemy". In several instances Conan appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence; knowing Kid is close by often causes Conan to behave far more frenetically. Appropriately, Kid seems to find Conan dangerous enough to warrant specific measures to keep the boy distracted. Conan does not seem to like Kid, saying once "He's only a thief that uses magic".<ref>Anime Episode 515: Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic</ref> However, if necessary, the two can put their rivalry aside (for a little while) and work together.<ref>[[Kaitou Kid and the Four Masterpieces]]</ref> Conan has something of a gentleman's agreement with Kaitou Kid that he won't look for the thief outside of heists. In several instances, beginning with the "Big Adventure in the Eccentric Residence" case, when Kid does Conan/Shinichi a favor, such as saving Genta's life in the aforementioned case, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape mostly unhindered. This exchange of favors can sometimes become a bit unbalanced; Conan was perfectly willing to force Kaitou Kid against his will into facing a member of the [[Black Organization]] at gunpoint in a carriage filled with explosives.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"</ref>

In the movies, Kid becomes aware that Conan is Shinichi after he once overheard Conan talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] and displaying too much criminal knowledge for a 7-year-old.<ref>Movie 03: ''[[The Last Wizard of the Century]]''</ref> As a result, he ends up using Shinichi's identity to either further his own goals and challenge Conan at the same time, or to pay back a favor Conan has done him. Since movies cannot be considered [[canon]], it's unclear whether Kid knows Conan is Shinichi in the official manga. There is also some speculations on Conan figuring out that Kid isn't just stealing randomly. At the end of the OVA 4: Conan, Kid, and the Crystal Mother, Conan had turned with a serious face when he remembered a phrase that Kid had said, "Next time, I'll help myself to the Jewel of Destiny." In movie 14, Conan asked for Kid to disguise as him for a while.
{{clear}}

==== Heiji Hattori ====
Kaito and [[Heiji Hattori]] have never canonically met, although Heiji faced up against the Kid in Movie 3, and interacted with a disguised Kaito during Movie 10. They were also involved in the same cases in OVA 6 and Movie 14, but never directly interacted.

==== Lupin III ====
In [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]], while they never directly meet face-to-face with each other, Kaitou Kid and [[Lupin III]] had made their first encounter in the beginning of the film. Kaito Kuroba, while being in his citizen guise, was among the many people present to see the heists of Lupin, who was masquerading as Kaitou Kid, with a valuable diamond. Fujiko Mine claimed if Lupin was unable to save her, by stealing the Cherry Sapphire, she can always ask Kaitou Kid for help. By the end of the film where Lupin was in Japan, in contrary to how Conan had thought he had left, Lupin had tried to steal another valuable jewel only to find it already to be stolen and replaced by a small note left by Kaitou Kid; the act was most likely to return the favor for Lupin’s temporary identity theft, for using Kid’s identity, with the diamond heist. As Lupin was being chased, by [[Inspector Zenigata]] who didn’t believe Lupin didn’t steal the jewel, he had declared his rivalry with Kaitou Kid.

== People who know Kaitou Kid's real identity ==

== Trivia ==
[[image:Kaito Lupin.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Kaito Lupin]]
* A prototype version of Kaito appears in Aoyama's "{{nihongo|Nonchalant Lupin|さりげなくルパン|Sarigenaku Rupan}}" short story. In this version, Kaito is named {{nihongo|Kaito Lupin|流犯快斗|Rupan Kaito}}.
* The name 'Kuroba' is a transliteration of 'clover.' A four-leaf clover also appears on the tag of Kid's monocle.
* Gosho Aoyama gave Kaito the same height and weight measurements that he had in 1990<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito Treasured Edition |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=2011-11-21 |isbn=978-4-09-941727-7 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=197 "怪盗キッドの身長１７４ｃｍ、体重５８ｋｇってーのは、もちろんこの当時のオレの身長と体重！"}}</ref>, as well as his own blood type.
* Kaito and Gosho Aoyama also have the same birthday, June 21.<ref name= birthday/>
* Kaito, along with [[Shinichi Kudo]], [[Heiji Hattori]], and [[Saguru Hakuba]], are sometimes referred to as 'The Four Geniuses' or 'The Gosho Boys' by fans.
* In both the Japanese and English dub, Kaito shares the same voice actor as that of Shinichi Kudo. Kaito and Shinichi already resemble each other so closely that in the Black Star case, Ran sees Kaito in the street and mistakes him for Shinichi. In Movie 8, Kaito disguises himself as Shinichi and without the use of a mask succeeds in completely fooling everyone except for Ran.
* In Spanish, he doesn't share his voice with Shinichi, but with Hattori. However, this isn't much of a problem since he can perfectly mimic voices.
* Although Kaito's and Shinichi's teenaged-selves share the same voice actor, Kappei Yamaguchi, two different voice actors portray them as children: young Kaito is still voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, while Conan and young Shinichi are voiced by [[Minami Takayama]].

'''{{nihongo|Ai Haibara|灰原哀|Haibara Ai}}''', real name '''{{nihongo|[[Shiho Miyano]]|宮野志保|Miyano Shiho}}''', is the inventor of the [[APTX 4869]] poison that shrunk [[Shinichi Kudo]] into [[Conan Edogawa]], and a victim of the poison herself. Formerly '''{{nihongo|Sherry|シェリー|Sherī}}''' of the [[Black Organization]], she is on the run from them and lives with [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. She is also one of the few [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|characters who know that Shinichi is Conan]].

== Background ==
=== Shiho Miyano ===
{{main|Shiho Miyano}}
[[File:Investigation Kudo's house.jpg‎|thumb|right|170px|Shiho and other Organization members inspect the Kudo mansion.]] Shiho Miyano and her older sister, [[Akemi Miyano]], were born into the secret crime syndicate "The [[Black Organization]]". Her English mother, [[Elena Miyano]], and her Japanese father, [[Atsushi Miyano]], were both scientists working for the Black Organization on an important secret project. While Haibara was young, both her parents died in what was claimed to be an accident. While Akemi lived a normal life, the highly intelligent Haibara was groomed to take over her parents' research. A child prodigy, she was sent to the United States for education at a very young age, and then later came back to Japan to finish her parents' secret project, "Silver Bullet".<ref>Manga [[Volume 38]], Files 2-4 (384-386)</ref>. By the age of thirteen she was working as a scientist for the Black Organization.<ref>Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization five years ago. He did so by becoming Akemi’s boyfriend in order to get close to Shiho and use her influence to get in. (Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past") According to the FBI’s description, Shiho was “a scientist for them” at the time. Furthermore this took place in Japan since everyone was speaking Japanese, Akemi lived in Japan, and the FBI bust two years prior to the current timeline was in Japan (607 pg 8). If Shiho is 18 now, she would be 13 at the time Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization and she was already a scientist for them at this point and high ranked.</ref> She was given the codename "Sherry", after the alcoholic drink.

Shiho was about 18 years old when she developed the experimental test compound [[APTX 4869]]. She discovered that it could be used as a poison to kill without leaving any traces of itself in a body. While researching its effects, Shiho noticed that one of her lab mice had become younger after being given the drug instead of dying, though she did not report that effect. Meanwhile, the Black Organization started human trials, using APTX 4869 to commit untraceable murders. Unaware of the drug's rare side effect when they used it on [[Shinichi Kudo]], the Black Organization ordered a search for him because his body had not been found to confirm his death. Shiho and her team searched Shinichi's house twice after he had been shrunk to confirm his death for the Black Organization. She began to suspect Shinichi's transformation after the second search, when she found that his clothes from primary school had gone missing. Shiho then confirmed him as deceased so the organization would not look into the matter further and kill him after all.

[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Shiho swallows [[APTX 4869]].]]
Shiho was unhappy that the Black Organization's was using the incomplete APTX 4869 for murder, as that was not the drug's intended purpose. When Shiho received word that her sister Akemi had been killed, but was given no explanation why, she decided to boycott her research until the Black Organization gave her an adequate explanation. Instead, the Organization confined her in a small room to await her execution. With no other way out, she took a pill of APTX 4869 to commit suicide, but instead shrank into a six or seven year old girl. In her new, smaller body, she escaped from the Black Organization and attempted to reach Shinichi's house, hoping he might be able to help her. Exhausted, she collapsed in front of Shinichi's house, where she was found by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], who eventually adopted her.<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> In fact, as it turned out later, Agasa was acquaintances with her parents—especially her father—even though he didn't know at that time that they had children or were part of the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Chapter 398: The Torn Friendship, Part 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 423: A Mystery Left by a Visitor</ref>

=== Ai Haibara ===
[[File:Haibara founded infront of Kudo's house.JPG|thumb|right|245px|Haibara collapsed in front of Kudo's house.]]
To prevent the knowledge of her transfiguration from being discovered, Shiho and Professor Agasa create her alias ''Ai Haibara'' (known as Anita Hailey—recently Vi Graythorn—in the English dub). As Ai Haibara, she attends [[Teitan Elementary School]] with [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s shrunken form, [[Conan Edogawa]]. Following her first adventure with the [[Detective Boys]] in which they investigate the disappearance of a schoolmate's brother, she reveals her true identity to Conan and the fact that she had developed the [[APTX 4869]].<ref>Manga Chapter 178: Code Name Sherry</ref> At first stunned, then outraged, Conan protests her presence,<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> but as time passes, he accepts Haibara as a friend and fellow victim, though her cynicism and secretive air still rail him at times. Haibara also joins the ranks of the [[Detective Boys]], and although she does not think too highly of her teammates' immature antics, she has come to value them all as close friends.

Haibara has begun working on [[Prototype Antidote|an antidote]] for the APTX 4869, but since most of the important data had been stored on computer files, which are now mostly destroyed, the work progresses slowly. Conan also eventually succeeds in persuading [[Vermouth]], who was attempting to track down Shiho and had found out about her new identity, to leave Haibara in peace, easing the air of menace which had loomed over Haibara until that time.<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple</ref>

Vermouth breaks her promise when the Black Organization member [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]], who had been assigned to look for Sherry, discovers a video of Shiho taken while Haibara was using a [[temporary antidote]] to rescue the detective boys. When the Black Organization attempts to kill or capture her aboard a train, a counterplan devised by Conan, [[Subaru Okiya]], [[Yukiko Kudo]], and [[Kaitou Kid]] results in an explosion that preserves Shiho's secret identity and makes all the Black Organization members besides Vermouth believe she is dead.

== Personality ==
[[File:Ai - Sai Brand's Wallet.jpg|thumb|Haibara asking for a ''Sai Brand'''s wallet for her cooperation]]

Haibara has a calm and cool personality, sarcastic wit, and high intelligence. When freshly escaped from the Black Organization, she was cynical and pushed others away. Haibara has since defrosted by embracing her new child life and has established strong relationships with Conan, the Detective Boys, Agasa, and Ran.

As Ai Haibara, she speaks and acts older than she is supposed to be, which results in the Detective Boys referring to her as "cool" or "mature". This is emphasized by her impressing general knowledge, even in areas without relation with sciences (such as theology or history<ref>[[Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys|Episode 212: Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys]] where she explains the religious myth of the Fall</ref><ref>[[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear|Episode 232: The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]] where she explains the death of Marie-Antoinette</ref>); and on occasion she is so forceful and demanding that she can stun adults several decades above her current physical age into submission. Despite her jaded demeanor, she can be kind and caring, though usually more to animals than people. Haibara tends to be quiet, though this may be due to her caution to keep herself hidden from the Black Organization. She considers Conan and the Detective Boys the first real friends she has ever had, and is even willing to sacrifice herself just to ensure their safety.<ref>Manga Chapters 289: Bus Hijacking Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 434: Rotten Apple Case</ref>. Indeed, she considers herself as a threat for them, since the Black Organization will most likely eliminate all of them once she is found. That is why she describes herself as "dangerous and not like the others"<ref>[[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear|Episode 233: The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]]</ref>

[[File:Episode213.JPG|thumb|left|Mitsuhiko assisting Haibara after bandaging her sprained foot.]]

Haibara is generally a loner and misses her older sister, Akemi, greatly (in the film ''[[Countdown to Heaven]]'', she would call her sister's old apartment just to hear her voice on the voicemail). Her greatest fear is being caught by the [[Black Organization]], and she is especially terrified of [[Gin]] and [[Vermouth]]. She tries to keep Conan from doing reckless things that may give away their identity, though often she is surprised by his actions which usually result in gaining the information he needs while also keeping their identities secret. However, whenever Conan is reckless in regards to keeping his identity from Ran, Haibara is the one who plans ahead in order to keep him from being revealed. Because she occasionally works overnight on the antidote for the APTX 4869, she tends to be tired quite frequently, causing Conan to call her an "evil-eyed yawny girl" on one occasion.<ref>[[Volume 65#Dangerous Couple Case|Manga Chapter 680: A Dangerous Couple]]</ref>

In the OVA ''[[A Secret Order From London]]'', Haibara reveals to [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] that she likes sandwiches with a mixture of peanut butter and blueberry jam, from her schooldays in America. However, since [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] caught her eating one of these sandwiches—especially since Haibara was on her part constantly pestering him into eating low-calorie foods only—she had to abandon that habit for a while.<ref>OVA 11: ''A Secret Order From London''</ref>

=== Taste for fashion ===
[[File:Haibara and fashion.png|thumb|Haibara reading fashion magazine 'Com Com']]

Haibara seems to have some interest in fashion, as she has made repeated requests for a certain type of purse when asked to do something. For instance, when [[Miwako Sato]] declares she would do anything for the one who will solve her father's mystery, she asks for Prada's newest handbag model<ref>[[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3|Episode 205: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3]]</ref>. What's more, in one of the cases, in order to expose the identity of the person who hid the phone cables to cut off communications with the outside world, she was asked by Conan to fake an unbearable appendix pain, which she agreed to after jokingly requesting for a Fusae Brand's wallet for her cooperation. She then started rolling on the floor and screaming for help. The culprit felt like he had no choice but to reveal the cable from his pockets and reconnect the phone to ask for an ambulance. <ref>[[A Code of Stars and Tobacco|Episode 374-375: A Code of Stars and Tobacco]]</ref> She is also seen with a Prada cell phone case in the Mystery Train case. Haibara reads 'ComCom' magazine (a name similar to Japan's 'CanCam' fashion magazine) during a soccer game in the Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case. <ref>[[The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case|Episode 130: The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case]]</ref> In OVA 11, the Detective Boys wrongly began to suspect Haibara was a child model from America, due to her looks and knowledge of fashion and makeup.

===Ryusuke Higo fan===
[[File:766-1.png|thumb|left|Haibara's listening to "Dandy Lion"]]While she generally accompanies her fellow Detective Boys to soccer matches played by the Tokyo Spirits, Haibara herself is a fan of [[Culture#Soccer|Big Osaka]] in general and of the player [[Ryusuke Higo]] in particular, especially since the latter has likewise abandoned a "black organization" (Noir Tokyo) after the team had betrayed him and had remained an outcast in public opinion for a time.<ref>[[Volume 34#Soccer Supporter Case|Manga Chapters 344-346: Soccer Supporter Case]]</ref><ref>Anime episodes 279-280: "[[Hooligan's Labyrinth]]"</ref> Haibara also liked to hear [[Yoko]]'s songs due to the fact that Higo also likes the songs.<ref>[[Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case|Episode 765-766: Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case]]</ref> However, she later deleted all of Yoko's songs because of the rumored date between Yoko and Ryusuke. At the end of the case, she renews her interest in both of them and goes to play soccer with the Detective Boys while singing Yoko's song "Dandy Lion". <ref>[[Volume_87#A_Secret_of_the_Big_Couple|A Secret of the Big Couple]]</ref>

== Appellations ==
Although most people will call Haibara by her name suffixed with ''-san'' (due to her personality), and some with ''-chan'' (due to her agreement), a lot of the characters have different ways of calling her due to their different relationships. The following is a list of the different appellations for Haibara (and the ones Haibara gives in return) encountered in the series.

== Plot overview ==
=== Older Brother Kidnapping Case (Manga: [[Volume 18|176-178]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]])===
[[File:129-1.png|thumb|left|First Haibara's "evil" appearance]]
Conan's class receives a new student named Ai Haibara. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and Genta notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them where she lives but Conan fails to realize it's at Agasa's home (Tokyo blocks are not numbered in sequential order and Conan has never had reason to learn Agasa's mailing address due to their being neighbors).

After school, a boy named Toshiya asks the Detective Boys to find his missing brother. The Detective Boys along with Haibara investigate Toshiya's house and finds a painting of [[Wikipedia:Natsume Sōseki|Natsume Sōseki]]. Toshiya reveals that before his brother disappeared, a woman, who had an interest in that portrait, approached Toshiya's brother. The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother. Conan notices that a man was using a counterfeit ¥1000 and realizes Toshiya's brother was actually kidnapped and forced to help create counterfeit bills. After following the man along with the clues Toshiya's brother left behind, they are able to apprehend the organized crime group and save Toshiya's brother.

=== University Professor Murder Case(Manga: [[Volume 18|179-180]] and [[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]])===
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|Haibara cries on Conan after asking him why hadn't he helped her sister.]]
On the way home, Haibara reveals to Conan that she is a former member of the Black Organization, with the code name "Sherry". She actually betrayed the group and escaped with the use of the APTX 4869, which caused her to become a child. She reveals that she once accidentally sent a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization to her older sister, and the disc is now in the possession of her sister's professor, Masami Hirota.

Agasa takes Conan and Haibara there to retrieve the disk, only to discover that Hirota has been murdered. The suspects are Hirota's three students who visited that day. Conan reveals the culprit to be a man named Akira Shirakura; Shirakura after bludgeoning Hirota to death and tied the answering machine cassette tape around the key to the room which rewound when a call was made, subsequently dragging the key into the room. As evidence, Conan reveals that Shirakura's fingerprints should be found on the tape. After seeing Conan's amazing display of logic after she had given up on the case herself, Haibara breaks down and asks Conan why he could not save her sister, Akemi, from the Black Organization. Conan finally makes the connection that the "Masami Hirota" who Gin killed was actually Shiho's sister, and sympathy for Haibara's attitude stirs in him. The disc is taken into police custody, but once it is released to them Haibara attempts to read the files off the disk—only to have [[Night Baron|a virus]] delete all the data.

=== Stadium Bomber Case (Manga: [[Volume 19|189-190]] and [[Volume 20|191]], Anime: [[Episode 130|130-131]])===
=== Blue Castle Treasure Case (Manga: [[Volume 20|200]] and [[Volume 21|201-203]], Anime: [[Episode 136|136-137]])===
=== Movie Theater Case (Manga: [[Volume 23|222-224]], Anime: [[Episode 138|138-139]])===
=== Innocent Suspect Case (Manga: [[Volume 23|231]] and [[Volume 24|232-233]], Anime: [[Episode 156|156-157]])===
=== Reunion with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume 25|238-242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|176-178]])===
[[image:Sherry-getting-shot.png|thumb|left|150px|Shiho shot by Gin.]]
In Episode 176-178, Conan encounters Gin and Vodka again. Haibara is kidnapped and confined to a wine cellar by the Black Organization member [[Pisco]], but she escapes before Gin and Vodka arrive by drinking [[baijiu]] to turn back into an adult. Gin anticipates her actions and intercepts her on the roof. Gin shoots her repeatedly, hoping he can force her to explain how she escaped from the Organization. Conan prevents Gin from killing her by shooting the man with his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer wristwatch]]. Conan tells Haibara to jump into the chimmey, and Vodka shoots at him, but Conan gets away. Gin purposely shoots himself in the arm to stay awake. Inside, Pisco almost kills Haibara, but Conan rescues her after tricking Pisco into accidentally causing a fire. Gin kills Pisco for failure before Pisco's able to tell him the truth that Shiho Miyano has deaged into a young girl. Worried that the Organization is after her, Haibara decides to leave the city. Conan anticipates that Gin will predict her next move as leaving Tokyo, so it will be better if she does the unexpected and remains in Beika. Unknown to Conan or Haibara, [[Vermouth]] saw Haibara at the party and uses her expert disguise skills to get closer to Haibara and Conan in order to confirm Haibara's identity as Sherry and then kill her.

=== [[The Desperate Revival]] ===
[[File:Flower gun.png|thumb|Haibara's about to shoot Conan.]]

Conan finds out that Ran suspects him of being Shinichi, because Ran said she knew Conan's blood type for a blood transfusion. While Conan is in the hospital contemplating admitting his identity to her, Haibara enters and points a gun at his head, saying that the Black Organization has found out about her due to an unknown agent being present at the Pisco incident. Because of this, Professor Agasa is held hostage and, in exchange for his life and a chance to return to the Black Organization, Haibara is required to terminate all the links she had in her child identity. However, when she pulls the trigger a bunch of flowers come out, showing that the story was just an act. Still, she uses this story as her point: both Haibara and Conan cannot reveal their identities no matter the situation, in order to prevent such a tragedy from occurring.

During that night, Haibara explains her plan to disassociate Conan from Shinichi in Ran's eyes. She has Conan take a [[prototype antidote]] for APTX 4869 and then disguises herself as Conan. For the rest of the arc, Conan returns as Shinichi while Haibara is present as Conan, thus creating the illusion of Shinichi and Conan existing at the same time, disproving that the two are the same person.

At the end of the Desperate Revival arc, the antidote begins to run out and Shinichi runs into the bathroom, where Haibara is still disguised as Conan already waiting for him. She predicted that Shinichi would run into the men´s bathroom after the symptoms of the back transformation would start to appear. She then switches Shinichi into Conan's clothes after the antidote runs out.

===[[The Mysterious Passenger]]===
[[File:Vermouth episode 230.png|thumb|left|Haibara in pinch]]

Vermouth, disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], boards a bus that Haibara, Agasa, and the Detective Boys are riding to a ski resort. Whatever plan Vermouth might have had is completely interrupted by the bus being hijacked by random criminals and the presence of two FBI agents that have been tracking her: [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Shuichi Akai]]. Haibara detects Vermouth's presence on the bus. She becomes so afraid that the Detective Boys, Conan, and Agasa will be killed because of her that she decides to commit suicide, staying deliberately in the bus whose explosion was imminent. Only Conan's quick thinking saves her, and he asks her to not run away from life. However, those events make her remain anxious for several days.

Due to almost similar appearance between Jodie and Vermouth in this case, most viewers tend to make conclusion that Jodie and Vermouth are the same person. This is because when Vermouth dialog is played, it shows Jodie after that.

{{clear}}
=== [[Episode 345|Showdown with Vermouth]] ===
[[File:345-1.png|thumb|right|Ran covering Haibara from getting shot]]

Vermouth finally launches her plan to kill Shiho. She prepares a distraction to lure Conan away so that Haibara is alone at Agasa's. Taking advantage of the fact that Haibara has practically become ill from fear, she calls as Dr. Araide to tell Haibara she is taking her to the hospital because she has been unwell for so long. The eavesdropping FBI agent [[Jodie Starling]] arrives first to protect Haibara and starts driving her towards the shipping yard where the FBI have laid a trap for Vermouth.

In a complicated turn of events, Vermouth reveals she already thwarted Jodie's trap, and then shoots her. Haibara then reveals herself to be Conan; Yukiko had helped with his disguise while Conan sent [[Heiji Hattori]] to participate in Vermouth's distraction. The real Haibara then shows up which distracts Conan long enough for Vermouth to dart him with his own stun-gun watch. Just as Haibara is about to be killed, Ran, who had suspected Jodie of being untrustworthy and decided to spy on her, jumps from Jodie's car trunk and protects Haibara. Vermouth is unwilling to kill either Conan or Ran because they had saved her life in the past. Part of the reason why she originally did not tell the rest of the Black Organization about Haibara's true identity is likely because they would find out about Conan too and then silence him and everyone around him as well.

Before Vermouth can come up with another plan, the other FBI agent, [[Shuichi Akai]] arrives and forces Vermouth to flee with Conan as a hostage. Vermouth dials [[anokata|the boss]] of the Black Organization to lie to him about why she was injured. Conan overhears the number and threatens to give it to the police for analysis unless Vermouth promises that she will give up on trying to kill Haibara. Vermouth consents and escapes.

=== [[Episode 394|Pandora's box]] ===
In Episode 394, Conan figures out the boss's full number, but Haibara warns him not to call it because it is "[[Wikipedia:Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]". Conan then thinks he can get Detective Takagi to figure out who the number belongs to, but then Haibara warns that if he does, Detective Takagi will be killed. This scene is the first time Haibara openly reveals to Conan that she has been hiding important secrets about the Black Organization from him; earlier she [[Black_Organization#APTX_4869_and_Biochemistry|had lied to him]]. The exchange suggests that Haibara is withholding information because she fears Conan will make a rash move.

===[[Episode 509|Subaru Okiya]]===
[[File:Haibara doesn't like Okiya.PNG|thumb|left|Haibara does not like Subaru]]

Not long after Akai's death, Conan hears fresh intel from the [[FBI]] that a new [[Black Organization]] agent called [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] is looking for Shiho, which Conan keeps secret from Haibara. As Conan and Haibara investigate a normal case, Haibara feels that an organization member is around. The organization member which she felt is implied to be one of the innocent suspects, [[Subaru Okiya]]. Conan invites Okiya to live in Kudo's house since Okiya's apartment was burnt to the ground. Okiya appears in other cases later on, including at the Haido mall where the rest of the Black Organization gathered to chase a rumored sighting of a [[Scar Akai|scarred Shuichi Akai]]. Although Okiya is trusted by Conan and Agasa and kind to Haibara, she remains frightened of him. Later, some of his actions lead her to believe he might be someone she knows and she comes to trust him more, even attempting to uncover his identity when she thought he was asleep.

===[[Episode 699|Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret]]===
[[File:Shiho_700.png|thumb|Haibara turns into Shiho via the [[Prototype antidote|prototype antidote]] for the first time]]

Later, when Haibara is forced to revert to Shiho using a [[temporary antidote]], a video of her as an adult is sent to the Mouri Detective Agency by Mitsuhiko which Sera, Okiya, and Amuro find out about. Because of this, Haibara is later targeted by a plot concocted by Vermouth and Bourbon aboard the Bell Tree Express Train. Bourbon is revealed to be Amuro and Haibara learns that he knew her parents. Bourbon was hoping to capture Shiho alive, but Vermouth's modifications to his plan which were designed to kill her led to Shiho supposedly being blown up on the train. The Shiho Vermouth and Bourbon thought was killed was really [[Kaitou Kid]] in disguise, Conan having forced him into the plan. Because of this, all of the Black Organization besides Vermouth think Shiho is now dead, and Vermouth is unable to reveal the truth to the rest of them without also compromising Conan, Haibara and their deaged condition against her wishes.

====Conan Edogawa====
[[File:Shiranpuri derp.png|thumb|left|Haibara's reaction after hearing Conan's ''[[Clash_of_Red_and_Black#Ready_to_Die_.28Manga:_605-608.2C_Anime:_503.29|Shiranpuri]]'' plan]]
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}

Both are de-aged by APTX and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes Haibara and [[Conan]] close confidants and more sympathetic to one other than most other characters. Conan is one of the few people in front of whom she has shown any signs of weakness, such as breaking down over her sister's death. Haibara expresses a lot of interest in Conan's personality, intelligence, and sense of justice. If Conan is in danger she is willing to throw away her life to save him, overriding fears and concerns for her own safety that would ordinarily paralyze her. Similarly, Conan has saved Haibara's life more than once when she would have sacrificed herself for his and the [[Detective Boys]]' safety. Haibara also often enjoys teasing Conan which Conan takes in good stride. Conan is oblivious of Haibara's feelings and sometimes finds it difficult to deal with her sarcasm and impudent, cold nature. Although close on many matters, they still don't fully trust one another with information about the Black Organization out of concern for the safety and feelings of the other.

[[File:772-1.png|thumb|Haibara is typing a mail to Professor Agasa angrily for cheating his diet]]
{{main|Agasa family}}

The relationship between Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] is rather unusual, if not humorous. Despite their actual ages, Haibara often acts more like a mother to the professor, constantly reminding him to watch what he eats. On several occassions, she has removed fattening foods from his reach<ref name=Depths>[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref>, and is attempting to help get him into better shape. There have also been instances where she'll automatically step in front of Agasa in cases of danger.<ref name=Eyes>[[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]]</ref> Out of all the people she's met, Haibara seems most comfortable about acting herself with Professor Agasa; which might be attributed to the fact that he was the one who found her after she escaped the Black Organization, and took her in.
{{clear}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:247-1.png|thumb|left|Haibara's first greeting with Ran]]

There are instances where Haibara will caution Conan from actions that involve [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], though it's assumed this is due merely to the fact that she wants to keep her identity hidden. Early on, she is cold and distant towards Ran, even more so than she is to most other people. Ran believes that it is because Haibara hated her,<ref name=Net>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref> though in truth it is because Ran reminds Haibara strongly of her dead sister.

After Ran notices Haibara is not feeling well and carries her to safety during a case, Haibara finally properly introduces herself to Ran, and they slowly became friends. Because Haibara finds that Ran resembles her older sister, Akemi Miyano, she takes special interest in protecting her. These feelings increase after Ran jumps through a slew of bullets from [[Calvados|a Black Organization sniper]] to save Haibara.<ref name=Vermouth>[[Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon|Episode 345: Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon]]</ref> Haibara immediately thinks of her own sister, and begins acting to try to protect Ran from the organization, such as when Haibara begs for Ran to stay at Agasa's house when she knows that [[Korn]], [[Chianti]], and the rest of the Black Organization are lurking about, immediately thinking of her own sister's death, and wanting to keep Ran safe.<ref name=KornChianti>[[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!]]</ref>

Assuming that Conan has romantic feelings for Ran, Haibara feels jealous of her and suffer from considering herself as less attractive than Ran. She even implies that Ran would be similar to a dolphin, when she would only be a shark coming from the cold depths of the sea, indicating that she cannot compete against her<ref>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref>. Once when Haibara had a cold and Ran came to bring her some food, Ai pretended to be asleep and Conan said she wasn't being considerate for Ran's good actions towards her. Haibara thought to herself that Conan doesn't understand a thing, but she doesn't want him to anyway, hinting that she has actually romantic feelings towards Conan/Shinichi and is jealous due to his feelings for Ran.

====Subaru Okiya====
[[File:685-2.png|thumb|Haibara uncovering Subaru's scrarf]]

The first time [[Subaru]] appears, Haibara felt a strange feeling toward him and thought he is a member of the Black Organization. However, the feeling kept coming and going. In later episodes, Haibara doesn't seem to hate him so much anymore. She even tries to uncover Subaru's scarf to check something behind his neck, probably noticing some small machines made by Professor Agasa.

====Dai Moroboshi====
[[File:701_8.png|thumb|left|Dai Moroboshi in Haibara's thought]]

Haibara knows [[Dai Moroboshi]] as her sister's boyfriend. She deduces that Dai approaches her sister just to collect information about the Black Organization. Later on, she meets a [[Scar Akai|guy]] similar to him in [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] and wonders how he got the scar on his face.
{{clear}}

=== Detective Boys ===
Haibara has tried to keep an emotional distance away from the rest of the Detective Boys at the beginning. However, over time, she can't resist their friendliness anymore and gradually warms up to them.

==== Ayumi Yoshida ====
[[File:330-1.png|thumb|left|Ayumi is happy for being allowed to call Haibara by her name (Ai)]]
{{Main|Ayumi Yoshida}}

Out of the Detective Boys, Haibara is the closest with [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. At one time, Ayumi noticed that she called everyone by their first names except for Haibara and decided to try and call her "Ai-chan", but without success. At the end of a case which involved a shattered friendship, Haibara told Ayumi that it was okay for her to call her "Ai-chan". When Mitsuhiko and Genta tried to call her that, however, she told them that only Ayumi was allowed to call her by her first name.<ref name=Ai-chan>[[A Friendship That Can't Be Bought|Episode 329-330: A Friendship That Can't Be Bought]]</ref> On the whole, Haibara seems to see Ayumi as a little sister, even going so far as to physically shield her from danger.<ref name=starsandtobacco>[[A Code of Stars and Tobacco|Episode 375: A Code of Stars and Tobacco (Part 2)]]</ref> Besides, Ayumi is one of the people who teach her that she cannot win by always running away, and that she has to face her enemies<ref>[[Episode 347|Episode 347: Find the Buttock's Mark]]</ref>.
However, Haibara and Ayumi may almost be love rivals, since both seem to develop romantic feelings for Conan: Ayumi even asks her if she is in love with him, and is really frightened when she is answered positively (she eventually cheers up when Haibara says she is not).<ref>[[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case|Episode 205: The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case]]</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya ====
[[Image:279haibaramitsuhiko.png|thumb|right|220|Haibara listening in on Mitsuhiko's radio.]]
{{main|Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
Haibara's classmate and fellow detective [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] develops romantic feelings for her, and Haibara is fully aware of this. Haibara uses Mitsuhiko's feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also does admire his intelligence and courage during missions the Detective Boys must perform and respects his feelings. In some episodes she even shows more confidence in Mitsuhiko than in Ayumi or Genta when the going gets tough.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Sherry}}
[[Gin]] has an abnormal attachment for Shiho and seems to enjoy hunting her, while she hates and fears him. They had some sort of relationship in the past,<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__st__60__p__287218#entry287218 青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013]</ref> possibly romantic.<ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref>

==== Vodka ====
Shiho and [[Vodka]] have met and are acquaintances.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] and Shiho have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Shiho fears Vermouth more than other Black Organization members except perhaps Gin: in the first times, the feeling of her presence can even entirely paralyse her<ref>[[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 231: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref>. Shiho was initially Vermouth's target, but Vermouth promised to give up on her after Conan's intervention.<ref name=CD239/> She broke this promise later when Bourbon discovered a video of Sherry, still clinging to her personal conviction that Shiho is the one person who can't be allowed to exist in the world.<ref>Manga File 818</ref>

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]] knew Haibara's parents and sister, but they didn't know each other.

== People who know Haibara's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Ai Haibara's identity}}
These people know Haibara's true identity: Professor Agasa, Conan, Vermouth, Pisco, Heiji Hattori, Yukiko Kudo, Yusaku Kudo, and Shuichi Akai. It is also possible that James Black and Jodie Starling of the FBI know Haibara's true identity since they call Haibara by her codename "Sherry", although they may not know yet her true name.

== 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. Haibara placed 4th in the poll with 686 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. Haibara placed 4th out of 10.

*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. Haibara placed 3rd overall with 1,592 votes. (First place of all female characters)<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>

== Name origin ==
According to Agasa, Ai Haibara's name comes from [[wikipedia:Cordelia Gray|Cordelia '''Gray''']] (the character 灰 in her name means "ash") and [[wikipedia:V.I. Warshawski|V.'''I'''. Warshawski]] ("Ai" comes from the letter "I"). Although Agasa suggested she use the kanji 愛 (love) for "Ai", she preferred to use the kanji 哀 (sorrow).<ref>[[Volume 18#File 179 - The Girl Made of Lies|Volume 18, File 179: "The Girl Made of Lies"]]</ref> Her US FUNimation name, "Vi Graythorn", has similar roots. However, Gosho Aoyama in an interview posted in the May 2014 issue of Da Vinci magazine stated that the "Ai" in Ai Haibara comes from '''I'''rene Adler, a character from the Sherlock Holmes story "A Scandal in Bohemia".<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Da Vinci|month=May|year=2014|publisher=Kadokawa Shoten}}</ref>

Her US Viz name, Anita Hailey, comes from:
* Anita: Anne Katherine Green (the first American Mystery Writer)
* Hailey: Hero (though Anita didn't care much for the choice)<ref>Case Closed Volume 18: File 179 - The False Girl</ref>

Her codename '''Sherry''' is Detective Shunsaku Kudo's (from [[wikipedia:ja:探偵物語|Tantei Monogatari (Detective Tales)]]) favorite liquor.

== Trivia ==
*Sherry is a fortified wine from white grapes that are grown near the town of Jerez, Spain. Most sherries are initially dry, with sweetness added later. This could be a play on her personality that the Black Organization recognized. To further confirm the pun, in the Spanish dub of the anime, her codename in the organization is "Jerez" rather than "Sherry" (in Spanish language, both the town and the wine share the name), although she was renamed later to "Sherry" again.
* Haibara is an animal lover.
* Haibara strongly dislikes getting shocked by static electricity. She used to have some accessories to dissipate the charge, but she seems to have given up on them after Conan taught her a good strategy to avoid being shocked.<ref>Manga [[Volume 61]], Files 5-7 (635-637), Anime [[Episode 525]]</ref>
* Haibara reveals to [[Fujiko Mine]] that she used to ride a Harley before she shrank.<ref>[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]</ref>
* The first appearance of Haibara has her hair colored as brown but later on changed to reddish brown. However, it's changed to brown again.

The {{nihongo|'''Detective Boys'''|少年探偵団|Shōnen Tantei-dan}}, also known as '''The Junior Detective League''' in the English [[Funimation]] adaption, are the pre-adolescent detectives with whom [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] solves the occasional crimes in which he and his [[Teitan Elementary]] classmates stumble into.
== History ==
The Detective Boys were informally founded when [[Ayumi Yoshida]] and [[Genta Kojima]] decided to [[A Haunted Mansion Murder Case|investigate a mansion]] which was once a murder site and had been abandoned. Conan and his classmate [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya]] were drafted into accompanying the two, and the foursome entered the house. In the course of this adventure, Conan found out that the house was still inhabited by the mother and son of the murder victim; the son had killed his father in a fit of rage over his abusive behavior, and his mother had subsequently locked her own son in a dungeon beneath the house to wait until the deed's time-bar had passed. After Conan succeeded in exposing the two, they were arrested and the case was resolved.<ref>Manga Chapters 17-19, Anime [[Episode 20]]: Scary Building Case</ref>

In time, the four kept stumbling into more and more criminal cases, which were resolved thanks to Conan's deductive skills and initiative. Particularly after the case involving a sizable cache of stolen Italian gold coins,<ref>Manga Chapters 36-39: Code Sheet Case</ref> Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko developed a taste for detective work and impulsively decided to become investigators themselves, mostly for fame and glory. After advertising their services in school,<ref>Manga Chapter 56: Formation! The Detective Boys</ref> they have become actively involved in many criminal cases provided by their schoolmates, though more often than not they keep accidentally coming upon such during their free-time activities. Some time later, their new classmate (and former [[Black Organization]] member) [[Ai Haibara]] was drafted into the group. Two adults also joined this group informally, namely Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa]], who provides the group with special gadgets to aid them in their adventures, and their class teacher [[Sumiko Kobayashi]], a mystery novel enthusiast who proclaimed herself their manager.

In most cases, the Detective Boys act more like aides to Conan, who is the group's (mostly undisputed) leader due to his intelligence, extensive criminal knowledge and experience. In this role they function mostly as additional pairs of eyes who provide Conan with trivial-seeming but important clues, and display little investigative brilliance or determination of their own. As the series progresses, however, the other members, particularly Ai and Mitsuhiko, have demonstrated in some cases - especially where Conan is not present or out of commission - that the Detective Boys have the potential of becoming skilled investigators in their own right. Famous cases of such include:

'''Manga''':
*Chapter 251-253: ''[[Volume 25#Dangerous Cave Case|Dangerous Cave Case]]''
*Chapter 548-549: ''[[Volume 53#Kobayashi-sensei's Mystery|Kobayashi-sensei's Mystery]]''
*Chapter 712-715: ''[[Volume 68#Kaitou Kid and the Kirin's Horn|Kaitou Kid and the Kirin's Horn]]''
*Chapter 753-755: ''[[Volume 72#Two-Five-Two|Two-Five-Two]]''
*Chapter 759-761: ''[[Volume 72#Wolf-Crier|Wolf-Crier]]''

'''Anime''':
*Episode 182: ''[[The Big Investigation of the Nine Doors]]'' (TV Original)
*Episode 225: ''[[The Secret of the High Sales]]'' (TV Original)
*Episode 303: ''[[The Victim Who Came Back]]'' (TV Original)

'''Movie''':
*Movie 13: ''[[The Raven Chaser]]''
*''[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]''

'''OVA''':
*OVA 07: ''[[A Challenge from Agasa! Agasa vs. Conan and the Detective Boys]]''
*OVA 11: ''[[A Secret Order From London]]''

'''Note:''' Caution must be advised for OVAs, Movies and TV Originals, as these are essentially non-canonical with the Manga series and therefore not 100% diagnostically conclusive.

== Relationship Analysis ==

=== Family & Friends ===
==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
The Detective Boys love Professor [[Agasa]] very much and they have a good familial relationship with each other. Professor [[Agasa]] has invented the 'Wristwatch Flashlight' and the 'Detective Boys Badge' to help them in their deductions and to contact each other in any situation that might come up.

Agasa, in turn, seems to consider the actual children of the group as surrogate grandchildren, and is willing to help them with various cases.

==== Sumiko Kobayashi ====
Sumiko Kobayashi is the current teacher of the class that the Detective Boys are in. She also proclaims herself to be their manager, much to the children's chagrin.

==== Ran Mouri ====

==== Kogoro Mouri ====

== Trivia ==
* Genta refers to Conan as his apprentice in various episodes, mainly to show off to people.<ref>Anime Episode 129: The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case</ref>
* In an interview, Gosho Aoyama stated that the purpose of the Detective Boys was to act as a cover for Haibara.
*The Detective Boys in ''Detective Conan'' and Nobita and his friends in ''Doraemon'' both share a lot of resemblance.
** Interestingly enough, Ai Habara also draw parallel to Doraemon's sister Dorami, being a wise and intelligent member.

She was once married to [[Gosho Aoyama]] and was also the voice of [[Yaiba Kurogane]] in his other series '''[[Yaiba]]'''. They were married on her birthday in 2005 but divorced on December 10, 2007.

==Appearances as Herself==
[[File:Takayama anime.PNG|left|thumb|150px|Takayama in the Anime]] Minami appeared in [[Volume 15]] of the manga, in File 144-146. The story was made into [[The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case|Episode 81]] and [[The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case|Episode 82]].

In this episode, she appears with '''Shiina Nagano'''. Before waiting for a concert, Takayama is disguised because she is looking for Nagano. The Detective Boys then bump into her and realize that she is the famous artist Minami Takayama. She then tricks everyone with a man's voice and takes them to a restaurant. Then there is a strange person who has been using the phone for a long time. Then a while late, a person on the phone is looking for her, she then answers and it turns out to be Shiina Nagano. He tells her that he is outside the restaurant and asks her to go outside. After that, the suspicious person kidnaps her and the kidnappers demand the Detective Boys to deliver the bag belonging to Minami Takayama.

The lady uses it in a play that she is in called "Josephine". During the day of the play, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], Kogoro, [[Detective Boys]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] go with him to see the play. While is getting ready to play the part of Joesphine the kids look around the make up room. Kogoro also notices that she is a beginner diver. [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] is interested in the cosmetics tries to try one on but gets caught by the make-up artist, Sakai Natsuki.

Soon the other actors come in. There's Bunjiro Narusawa, Tenko Tajima, Iaso Shinjo, and Toru Ban. [[Ginzo Nakamori]] comes in after them. After arguing with each other, Nakamori introduces someone that [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] told him to bring. [[Shinichi Kudo]] comes in and everyone is shocked, especially Conan. Conan outbreaks, "He's not Shinichi-niichan!" Kogoro asks him how does he know and Conan almost told everyone but stopped himself at the last second responding nothing.

Inspector Nakamori pinches Shinichi's face and determines its the real Shinichi; Conan knows the reason he's not wearing a mask is because he looks like him. Nakamori pinches everyone's faces to make sure none of them is Kid. Shinichi tells everyone that he will investigate on his own and asks if Ran wants to come with him. Conan, determined not to let him be with her alone, begs Ran if he can come too. After checking all the doors with Ran, Shinichi goes off to see the view. Ran comments to Sonoko that something about Shinichi isn't right.

The play starts and Conan uses his night-vision glasses to make sure Kid doesn't leave. Kid waves to him and leaves so Conan runs after him. They eventually get to the roof where they comment they will settle things here. Kaitou Kid comments that is love is waiting to eat dinner with him and Ran's voice is heard saying, "Conan, dinner is ready!" Conan looks back at Kaitou Kid and he see's he was mimicing Ran's voice. Conan tries to hit him with his soccer ball but misses, and is is backed up to the railing.

Kaitou Kid shoots and Conan dodges it, but falls off. Kaitou Kid concerned about him falling runs off the building and flys after him; Conan uses this to try and stun him with his watch but Kid barely dodges it. Conan than pulls a cord coming from his backpack and a parachute is released. After a chase Kid manages to get away.

The cast of the play invites everyone to go to Haido with them because of their work protecting the sapphire. The next day while waiting for the plane so they can go to Hokkaido Conan feels like someone is watching him. Meanwhile Inspector Nakamori goes to where they are going to be staying in Hokkaido early to make sure Kaitou Kid isn't there setting anything up. They look in Juri's cabin and they see a silhoutte of Kaitou Kid.

Back at they airport they all get on the plane (first-class) and it seems that Ran invited [[Eri Kisaki|Eri]]. Coming late is Shinjo who is Juri's boyfriend; He goes up to Juri and kisses her sapphire ring. While on the plane Conan figures out the meaning of the card and the four words on the letter. It was to say he was going to steal it on the plane.

Right after take off Juri seems desperate to go to the washroom. When she finally goes in she comes out in a very short while. Right after coming out Juri goes to the cockpit to meet the pilots. It seems they know her and it is revealed she used to be a pilot.

Juri goes back and eats one of the chocolates her manager offered her. Kogoro also eats one too. After licking her lips she seems like she is choking and dies.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan figures out how Juri was murdered and tries to tranquilize Kogoro, however he accidentally shoots Eri because of turbulence; so he uses Eri's voice and explains how the murderer did it.

It is revealed that the murderer is '''Natsuki Sakai'''. Apparently, she puts poison in the make-up so that when Juri went in the washroom to pop her ears by holding her nose; the poison got onto the fingers of Juri and after she licked her fingers the poison was introduced into her body.

Right after the deduction the plane starts to descend. Conan remembers seeing the pilots kiss Juri's hand thus making them poisoned, so Shinjo and Conan take control of the plane.

While alone in the cockpit, Conan tells Shinjo that he knows he is Kid and that the real Shinjo is probably waiting for us dressed up as Kid for the party. Kid tells Conan that the sapphire is fake.

While flying the plane, it's struck by lightning. They activate the back up generator. They see that the auto-pilot is broken down so they have to cancel the landing. They manage to pull up but lose one engine in the process and damage the runway. The next thing they notice is that there isn't much fuel left. This is because when everyone was in the cockpit, Ban accidentally hit the fuel gauge button which made the fuel (in separate engines) go into one big tank.

Conan finds a place to land (Sakamori Dock). Kid (in disguise of Shinjo) says he can't do it because he injured his hand and that Ran should take his place. Kid opens the emergency hatch and tells them good luck. Kaitou Kid then jumps from the plane. Nakamori chasing the real Shinjo, notice the real kid flying, and so they chase after him.

Conan tells Sonoko to take his place and that he has to go to the washroom, also to put on the headsets in case contact is made with the airport again. Conan uses his voice-changing bow tie and tells Ran using Shinichi's voice. Ran tells him to stop acting so cool and that the fate of these passengers is within her hands. She then tells him that she loves him which makes him go silent. She tells him that she see's a ribbon of red lights. Heading towards the dock. Conan sees it and realizes why Kid jumped off. He was going to attract the lights of the police to create a runway so they can see.

Ran successfully lands the plane. Ran thinks that the person who jumped was Kaitou Kid's accomplice and she was talking to Kaitou Kid. She is relieved to know her secret wasn't let out.

'''{{nihongo|Ai Haibara|灰原哀|Haibara Ai}}''', real name '''{{nihongo|[[Shiho Miyano]]|宮野志保|Miyano Shiho}}''', is the inventor of the [[APTX 4869]] poison that shrunk [[Shinichi Kudo]] into [[Conan Edogawa]], and a victim of the poison herself. Formerly '''{{nihongo|Sherry|シェリー|Sherī}}''' of the [[Black Organization]], she is on the run from them and lives with [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. She is also one of the few [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|characters who know that Shinichi is Conan]].

== Background ==
=== Shiho Miyano ===
{{main|Shiho Miyano}}
[[File:Investigation Kudo's house.jpg‎|thumb|right|170px|Shiho and other Organization members inspect the Kudo mansion.]] Shiho Miyano and her older sister, [[Akemi Miyano]], were born into the secret crime syndicate "The [[Black Organization]]". Her English mother, [[Elena Miyano]], and her Japanese father, [[Atsushi Miyano]], were both scientists working for the Black Organization on an important secret project. While Haibara was young, both her parents died in what was claimed to be an accident. While Akemi lived a normal life, the highly intelligent Haibara was groomed to take over her parents' research. A child prodigy, she was sent to the United States for education at a very young age, and then later came back to Japan to finish her parents' secret project, "Silver Bullet".<ref>Manga [[Volume 38]], Files 2-4 (384-386)</ref>. By the age of thirteen she was working as a scientist for the Black Organization.<ref>Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization five years ago. He did so by becoming Akemi’s girlfriend in order to get close to Shiho and use her influence to get in. (Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past") According to the FBI’s description, Shiho was “a scientist for them” at the time. Furthermore this took place in Japan since everyone was speaking Japanese, Akemi lived in Japan, and the FBI bust two years prior to the current timeline was in Japan (607 pg 8). If Shiho is 18 now, she would be 13 at the time Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization and she was already a scientist for them at this point and high ranked.</ref> She was given the codename "Sherry", after the alcoholic drink.

Shiho was about 18 years old when she developed the experimental test compound [[APTX 4869]]. She discovered that it could be used as a poison to kill without leaving any traces of itself in a body. While researching its effects, Shiho noticed that one of her lab mice had become younger after being given the drug instead of dying, though she did not report that effect. Meanwhile, the Black Organization started human trials, using APTX 4869 to commit untraceable murders. Unaware of the drug's rare side effect when they used it on [[Shinichi Kudo]], the Black Organization ordered a search for him because his body had not been found to confirm his death. Shiho and her team searched Shinichi's house twice after he had been shrunk to confirm his death for the Black Organization. She began to suspect Shinichi's transformation after the second search, when she found that his clothes from primary school had gone missing. Shiho then confirmed him as deceased so the organization would not look into the matter further and kill him after all.

[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Shiho swallows [[APTX 4869]].]]
Shiho was unhappy that the Black Organization's was using the incomplete APTX 4869 for murder, as that was not the drug's intended purpose. When Shiho received word that her sister Akemi had been killed, but was given no explanation why, she decided to boycott her research until the Black Organization gave her an adequate explanation. Instead, the Organization confined her in a small room to await her execution. With no other way out, she took a pill of APTX 4869 to commit suicide, but instead shrank into a six or seven year old girl. In her new, smaller body, she escaped from the Black Organization and attempted to reach Shinichi's house, hoping he might be able to help her. Exhausted, she collapsed in front of Shinichi's house, where she was found by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], who eventually adopted her.<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> In fact, as it turned out later, Agasa was acquaintances with her parents—especially her father—even though he didn't know at that time that they had children or were part of the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Chapter 398: The Torn Friendship, Part 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 423: A Mystery Left by a Visitor</ref>
{{clear}}

=== Ai Haibara ===
[[File:Haibara founded infront of Kudo's house.JPG|thumb|right|245px|Haibara collapsed in front of Kudo's house.]]
To prevent the knowledge of her transfiguration from being discovered, Shiho and Professor Agasa create her alias ''Ai Haibara'' (known as Anita Hailey—recently Vi Graythorn—in the English dub). As Ai Haibara, she attends [[Teitan Elementary School]] with [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s shrunken form, [[Conan Edogawa]]. Following her first adventure with the [[Detective Boys]] in which they investigate the disappearance of a schoolmate's brother, she reveals her true identity to Conan and the fact that she had developed the [[APTX 4869]].<ref>Manga Chapter 178: Code Name Sherry</ref> At first stunned, then outraged, Conan protests her presence,<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> but as time passes, he accepts Haibara as a friend and fellow victim, though her cynicism and secretive air still rail him at times. Haibara also joins the ranks of the [[Detective Boys]], and although she does not think too highly of her teammates' immature antics, she has come to value them all as close friends.

Haibara has begun working on [[Prototype Antidote|an antidote]] for the APTX 4869, but since most of the important data had been stored on computer files, which are now mostly destroyed, the work progresses slowly. Conan also eventually succeeds in persuading [[Vermouth]], who was attempting to track down Shiho and had found out about her new identity, to leave Haibara in peace, easing the air of menace which had loomed over Haibara until that time.<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple</ref>

Vermouth breaks her promise when the Black Organization member [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]], who had been assigned to look for Sherry, discovers a video of Shiho taken while Haibara was using a [[temporary antidote]] to rescue the detective boys. When the Black Organization attempts to kill or capture her aboard a train, a counterplan devised by Conan, [[Subaru Okiya]], [[Yukiko Kudo]], and [[Kaitou Kid]] results in an explosion that preserves Shiho's secret identity and makes all the Black Organization members besides Vermouth believe she is dead.

== Personality ==
[[File:Ai - Sai Brand's Wallet.jpg|thumb|Haibara asking for a ''Sai Brand'''s wallet for her cooperation]]

Haibara has a calm and cool personality, sarcastic wit, and high intelligence. When freshly escaped from the Black Organization, she was cynical and pushed others away. Haibara has since defrosted by embracing her new child life and has established strong relationships with Conan, the Detective Boys, Agasa, and Ran.

As Ai Haibara, she speaks and acts older than she is supposed to be, which results in the Detective Boys referring to her as "cool" or "mature". This is emphasized by her impressing general knowledge, even in areas without relation with sciences (such as theology or history<ref>[[Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys|Episode 212: Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys]] where she explains the religious myth of the Fall</ref><ref>[[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear|Episode 232: The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]] where she explains the death of Marie-Antoinette</ref>). Despite her jaded demeanor, she can be kind and caring, though usually more to animals than people. Haibara tends to be quiet, though this may be due to her caution to keep herself hidden from the Black Organization. She considers Conan and the Detective Boys the first real friends she has ever had, and is even willing to sacrifice herself just to ensure their safety.<ref>Manga Chapters 289: Bus Hijacking Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 434: Rotten Apple Case</ref>. Indeed, she considers herself as a threat for them, since the Black Organization will most likely eliminate all of them once she is found. That is why she describes herself as "dangerous and not like the others"<ref>[[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear|Episode 233: The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]]</ref>

[[File:Episode213.JPG|thumb|left|Mitsuhiko assisting Haibara after bandaging her sprained foot.]]

Haibara is generally a loner and misses her older sister, Akemi, greatly (in the film ''[[Countdown to Heaven]]'', she would call her sister's old apartment just to hear her voice on the voicemail). Her greatest fear is being caught by the [[Black Organization]], and she is especially terrified of [[Gin]] and [[Vermouth]]. She tries to keep Conan from doing reckless things that may give away their identity, though often she is surprised by his actions which usually result in gaining the information he needs while also keeping their identities secret. However, whenever Conan is reckless in regards to keeping his identity from Ran, Haibara is the one who plans ahead in order to keep him from being revealed.

While she generally accompanies her fellow Detective Boys to soccer matches played by the Tokyo Spirits, Haibara herself is a fan of [[Culture#Soccer|Big Osaka]] in general and of the player [[List of minor recurring manga characters#Celebrities|Ryusuke Higo]] in particular, especially since the latter has likewise abandoned a "black organization" (Noir Tokyo) after the team had betrayed him and had remained an outcast in public opinion for a time.<ref>Manga Chapters 344-346: Soccer Supporter Case</ref> Because she occasionally works overnight on the antidote for the APTX 4869, she tends to be tired quite frequently, causing Conan to call her an "evil-eyed yawny girl" on one occasion.<ref>Manga Chapter 680: A Dangerous Couple</ref>

In the OVA ''[[A Secret Order From London]]'', Haibara reveals to [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] that she likes sandwiches with a mixture of peanut butter and blueberry jam, from her schooldays in America. However, since [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] caught her eating one of these sandwiches—especially since Haibara was on her part constantly pestering him into eating low-calorie foods only—she had to abandon that habit for a while.<ref>OVA 11: ''A Secret Order From London''</ref>

=== Taste for fashion ===
[[File:Haibara and fashion.png|thumb|Haibara reading fashion magazine 'Com Com']]

Haibara seems to have some interest in fashion, as she has made repeated requests for a certain type of purse when asked to do something. For instance, when [[Miwako Sato]] declares she would do anything for the one who will solve her father's mystery, she asks for Prada's newest handbag model<ref>[[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3|Episode 205: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3]]</ref>. What's more, in one of the cases, in order to expose the identity of the person who hid the phone cables to cut off communications with the outside world, she was asked by Conan to fake an unbearable appendix pain, which she agreed to after jokingly requesting for a Fusae Brand's wallet for her cooperation. She then started rolling on the floor and screaming for help. The culprit felt like he had no choice but to reveal the cable from his pockets and reconnect the phone to ask for an ambulance. <ref>[[A Code of Stars and Tobacco|Episode 374-375: A Code of Stars and Tobacco]]</ref> She is also seen with a Prada cell phone case in the Mystery Train case. Haibara reads 'ComCom' magazine (a name similar to Japan's 'CanCam' fashion magazine) during a soccer game in the Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case. <ref>[[The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case|Episode 130: The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case]]</ref> In OVA 11, the Detective Boys wrongly began to suspect Haibara was a child model from America, due to her looks and knowledge of fashion and makeup.

===Ryusuke Higo fan===
[[File:766-1.png|thumb|left|Haibara's listening to "Dandy Lion"]]

Haibara becomes a big fan of [[List of minor recurring manga characters#Celebrities|Ryusuke Higo]] after knowing that Higo was originally a member of the Noir Tokyo team with his half-brother Rikuo Endo; he transferred once it was revealed that Noir had just exploited him. For this reason, he has become an empathic role model for Ai Haibara, as seen in [[Hooligan's Labyrinth]] case. Haibara also likes to hear [[Yoko]]'s songs due to the fact that Higo also likes the songs.<ref>[[Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case|Episode 765-766: Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case]]</ref> However, she deleted all the songs by Yoko because of the date between Yoko and Ryusuke.<ref>[[Volume_87#A_Secret_of_the_Big_Couple|A Secret of the Big Couple]]</ref>

== Appellations ==
Although most people will call Haibara by her name suffixed with ''-san'' (due to her personality), and some with ''-chan'' (due to her agreement), a lot of the characters have different ways of calling her due to their different relationships. The following is a list of the different appellations for Haibara (and the ones Haibara gives in return) encountered in the series.

== Plot overview ==
=== Older Brother Kidnapping Case (Manga: [[Volume 18|176-178]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]])===
[[File:129-1.png|thumb|left|First Haibara's "evil" appearance]]
Conan's class receives a new student named Ai Haibara. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and Genta notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them where she lives but Conan fails to realize it's at Agasa's home (Tokyo blocks are not numbered in sequential order and Conan has never had reason to learn Agasa's mailing address due to their being neighbors).

After school, a boy named Toshiya asks the Detective Boys to find his missing brother. The Detective Boys along with Haibara investigate Toshiya's house and finds a painting of [[Wikipedia:Natsume Sōseki|Natsume Sōseki]]. Toshiya reveals that before his brother disappeared, a woman, who had an interest in that portrait, approached Toshiya's brother. The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother. Conan notices that a man was using a counterfeit ¥1000 and realizes Toshiya's brother was actually kidnapped and forced to help create counterfeit bills. After following the man along with the clues Toshiya's brother left behind, they are able to apprehend the organized crime group and save Toshiya's brother.

=== University Professor Murder Case(Manga: [[Volume 18|179-180]] and [[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]])===
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|Haibara cries on Conan after asking him why hadn't he helped her sister.]]
On the way home, Haibara reveals to Conan that she is a former member of the Black Organization, with the code name "Sherry". She actually betrayed the group and escaped with the use of the APTX 4869, which caused her to become a child. She reveals that she once accidentally sent a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization to her older sister, and the disc is now in the possession of her sister's professor, Masami Hirota.

Agasa takes Conan and Haibara there to retrieve the disk, only to discover that Hirota has been murdered. The suspects are Hirota's three students who visited that day. Conan reveals the culprit to be a man named Akira Shirakura; Shirakura after bludgeoning Hirota to death and tied the answering machine cassette tape around the key to the room which rewound when a call was made, subsequently dragging the key into the room. As evidence, Conan reveals that Shirakura's fingerprints should be found on the tape. After seeing Conan's amazing display of logic after she had given up on the case herself, Haibara breaks down and asks Conan why he could not save her sister, Akemi, from the Black Organization. Conan finally makes the connection that the "Masami Hirota" who Gin killed was actually Shiho's sister, and sympathy for Haibara's attitude stirs in him. The disc is taken into police custody, but once it is released to them Haibara attempts to read the files off the disk—only to have [[Night Baron|a virus]] delete all the data.

=== Stadium Bomber Case (Manga: [[Volume 19|189-190]] and [[Volume 20|191]], Anime: [[Episode 130|130-131]])===
=== Blue Castle Treasure Case (Manga: [[Volume 20|200]] and [[Volume 21|201-203]], Anime: [[Episode 136|136-137]])===
=== Movie Theater Case (Manga: [[Volume 23|222-224]], Anime: [[Episode 138|138-139]])===
=== Innocent Suspect Case (Manga: [[Volume 23|231]] and [[Volume 24|232-233]], Anime: [[Episode 156|156-157]])===
=== Reunion with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume 25|238-242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|176-178]])===
[[image:Sherry-getting-shot.png|thumb|left|150px|Shiho shot by Gin.]]
In Episode 176-178, Conan encounters Gin and Vodka again. Haibara is kidnapped and confined to a wine cellar by the Black Organization member [[Pisco]], but she escapes before Gin and Vodka arrive by drinking [[baijiu]] to turn back into an adult. Gin anticipates her actions and intercepts her on the roof. Gin shoots her repeatedly, hoping he can force her to explain how she escaped from the Organization. Conan prevents Gin from killing her by shooting the man with his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer wristwatch]]. Conan tells Haibara to jump into the chimmey, and Vodka shoots at him, but Conan gets away. Gin purposely shoots himself in the arm to stay awake. Inside, Pisco almost kills Haibara, but Conan rescues her after tricking Pisco into accidentally causing a fire. Gin kills Pisco for failure before Pisco's able to tell him the truth that Shiho Miyano has deaged into a young girl. Worried that the Organization is after her, Haibara decides to leave the city. Conan anticipates that Gin will predict her next move as leaving Tokyo, so it will be better if she does the unexpected and remains in Beika. Unknown to Conan or Haibara, [[Vermouth]] saw Haibara at the party and uses her expert disguise skills to get closer to Haibara and Conan in order to confirm Haibara's identity as Sherry and then kill her.

=== [[The Desperate Revival]] ===
[[File:Flower gun.png|thumb|Haibara's about to shoot Conan.]]

Conan finds out that Ran suspects him of being Shinichi, because Ran said she knew Conan's blood type for a blood transfusion. While Conan is in the hospital contemplating admitting his identity to her, Haibara enters and points a gun at his head, saying that the Black Organization has found out about her due to an unknown agent being present at the Pisco incident. Because of this, Professor Agasa is held hostage and, in exchange for his life and a chance to return to the Black Organization, Haibara is required to terminate all the links she had in her child identity. However, when she pulls the trigger a bunch of flowers come out, showing that the story was just an act. Still, she uses this story as her point: both Haibara and Conan cannot reveal their identities no matter the situation, in order to prevent such a tragedy from occurring.

During that night, Haibara explains her plan to disassociate Conan from Shinichi in Ran's eyes. She has Conan take a [[prototype antidote]] for APTX 4869 and then disguises herself as Conan. For the rest of the arc, Conan returns as Shinichi while Haibara is present as Conan, thus creating the illusion of Shinichi and Conan existing at the same time, disproving that the two are the same person.

At the end of the Desperate Revival arc, the antidote begins to run out and Shinichi runs into the bathroom, where Haibara is still disguised as Conan already waiting for him. She predicted that Shinichi would run into the men´s bathroom after the symptoms of the back transformation would start to appear. She then switches Shinichi into Conan's clothes after the antidote runs out.

===[[The Mysterious Passenger]]===
[[File:Vermouth episode 230.png|thumb|left|Haibara in pinch]]

Vermouth, disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], boards a bus that Haibara, Agasa, and the Detective Boys are riding to a ski resort. Whatever plan Vermouth might have had is completely interrupted by the bus being hijacked by random criminals and the presence of two FBI agents that have been tracking her: [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Shuichi Akai]]. Haibara detects Vermouth's presence on the bus. She becomes so afraid that the Detective Boys, Conan, and Agasa will be killed because of her that she decides to commit suicide, staying deliberately in the bus whose explosion was imminent. Only Conan's quick thinking saves her, and he asks her to not run away from life. However, those events make her remain anxious for several days.

Due to almost similar appearance between Jodie and Vermouth in this case, most viewers tend to make conclusion that Jodie and Vermouth are the same person. This is because when Vermouth dialog is played, it shows Jodie after that.

{{clear}}
=== [[Episode 345|Showdown with Vermouth]] ===
[[File:345-1.png|thumb|right|Ran covering Haibara from getting shot]]

Vermouth finally launches her plan to kill Shiho. She prepares a distraction to lure Conan away so that Haibara is alone at Agasa's. Taking advantage of the fact that Haibara has practically become ill from fear, she calls as Dr. Araide to tell Haibara she is taking her to the hospital because she has been unwell for so long. The eavesdropping FBI agent [[Jodie Starling]] arrives first to protect Haibara and starts driving her towards the shipping yard where the FBI have laid a trap for Vermouth.

In a complicated turn of events, Vermouth reveals she already thwarted Jodie's trap, and then shoots her. Haibara then reveals herself to be Conan; Yukiko had helped with his disguise while Conan sent [[Heiji Hattori]] to participate in Vermouth's distraction. The real Haibara then shows up which distracts Conan long enough for Vermouth to dart him with his own stun-gun watch. Just as Haibara is about to be killed, Ran, who had suspected Jodie of being untrustworthy and decided to spy on her, jumps from Jodie's car trunk and protects Haibara. Vermouth is unwilling to kill either Conan or Ran because they had saved her life in the past. Part of the reason why she originally did not tell the rest of the Black Organization about Haibara's true identity is likely because they would find out about Conan too and then silence him and everyone around him as well.

Before Vermouth can come up with another plan, the other FBI agent, [[Shuichi Akai]] arrives and forces Vermouth to flee with Conan as a hostage. Vermouth dials [[anokata|the boss]] of the Black Organization to lie to him about why she was injured. Conan overhears the number and threatens to give it to the police for analysis unless Vermouth promises that she will give up on trying to kill Haibara. Vermouth consents and escapes.

=== [[Episode 394|Pandora's box]] ===
In Episode 394, Conan figures out the boss's full number, but Haibara warns him not to call it because it is "[[Wikipedia:Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]". Conan then thinks he can get Detective Takagi to figure out who the number belongs to, but then Haibara warns that if he does, Detective Takagi will be killed. This scene is the first time Haibara openly reveals to Conan that she has been hiding important secrets about the Black Organization from him; earlier she [[Black_Organization#APTX_4869_and_Biochemistry|had lied to him]]. The exchange suggests that Haibara is withholding information because she fears Conan will make a rash move.

===[[Episode 509|Subaru Okiya]]===
[[File:Haibara doesn't like Okiya.PNG|thumb|left|Haibara does not like Subaru]]

Not long after Akai's death, Conan hears fresh intel from the [[FBI]] that a new [[Black Organization]] agent called [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] is looking for Shiho, which Conan keeps secret from Haibara. As Conan and Haibara investigate a normal case, Haibara feels that an organization member is around. The organization member which she felt is implied to be one of the innocent suspects, [[Subaru Okiya]]. Conan invites Okiya to live in Kudo's house since Okiya's apartment was burnt to the ground. Okiya appears in other cases later on, including at the Haido mall where the rest of the Black Organization gathered to chase a rumored sighting of a [[Scar Akai|scarred Shuichi Akai]]. Although Okiya is trusted by Conan and Agasa and kind to Haibara, she remains frightened of him. Later, some of his actions lead her to believe he might be someone she knows and she comes to trust him more, even attempting to uncover his identity when she thought he was asleep.

{{clear}}
===[[Episode 699|Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret]]===
[[File:Shiho_700.png|thumb|Haibara turns into Shiho via the [[Prototype antidote|prototype antidote]] for the first time]]

Later, when Haibara is forced to revert to Shiho using a [[temporary antidote]], a video of her as an adult is sent to the Mouri Detective Agency by Mitsuhiko which Sera, Okiya, and Amuro find out about. Because of this, Haibara is later targeted by a plot concocted by Vermouth and Bourbon aboard the Bell Tree Express Train. Bourbon is revealed to be Amuro and Haibara learns that he knew her parents. Bourbon was hoping to capture Shiho alive, but Vermouth's modifications to his plan which were designed to kill her led to Shiho supposedly being blown up on the train. The Shiho Vermouth and Bourbon thought was killed was really [[Kaitou Kid]] in disguise, Conan having forced him into the plan. Because of this, all of the Black Organization besides Vermouth think Shiho is now dead, and Vermouth is unable to reveal the truth to the rest of them without also compromising Conan, Haibara and their deaged condition against her wishes.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
====Conan Edogawa====
[[File:Shiranpuri derp.png|thumb|left|Haibara's reaction after hearing Conan's ''[[Clash_of_Red_and_Black#Ready_to_Die_.28Manga:_605-608.2C_Anime:_503.29|Shiranpuri]]'' plan]]
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}

Both are de-aged by APTX and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes Haibara and [[Conan]] close confidants and more sympathetic to one other than most other characters. Conan is one of the few people in front of whom she has shown any signs of weakness, such as breaking down over her sister's death. Haibara expresses a lot of interest in Conan's personality, intelligence, and sense of justice. If Conan is in danger she is willing to throw away her life to save him, overriding fears and concerns for her own safety that would ordinarily paralyze her. Similarly, Conan has saved Haibara's life more than once when she would have sacrificed herself for his and the [[Detective Boys]]' safety. Haibara also often enjoys teasing Conan which Conan takes in good stride. Conan is oblivious of Haibara's feelings and sometimes finds it difficult to deal with her sarcasm and impudent, cold nature. Although close on many matters, they still don't fully trust one another with information about the Black Organization out of concern for the safety and feelings of the other.

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[File:772-1.png|thumb|Haibara is typing a mail to Professor Agasa angrily for cheating his diet]]
{{main|Agasa family}}

The relationship between Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] is rather unusual, if not humorous. Despite their actual ages, Haibara often acts more like a mother to the professor, constantly reminding him to watch what he eats. On several occassions, she has removed fattening foods from his reach<ref name=Depths>[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref>, and is attempting to help get him into better shape. There have also been instances where she'll automatically step in front of Agasa in cases of danger.<ref name=Eyes>[[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]]</ref> Out of all the people she's met, Haibara seems most comfortable about acting herself with Professor Agasa; which might be attributed to the fact that he was the one who found her after she escaped the Black Organization, and took her in.
{{clear}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:247-1.png|thumb|left|Haibara's first greeting with Ran]]

There are instances where Haibara will caution Conan from actions that involve [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], though it's assumed this is due merely to the fact that she wants to keep her identity hidden. Early on, she is cold and distant towards Ran, even more so than she is to most other people. Ran believes that it is because Haibara hated her,<ref name=Net>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref> though in truth it is because Ran reminds Haibara strongly of her dead sister.

After Ran notices Haibara is not feeling well and carries her to safety during a case, Haibara finally properly introduces herself to Ran, and they slowly became friends. Because Haibara finds that Ran resembles her older sister, Akemi Miyano, she takes special interest in protecting her. These feelings increase after Ran jumps through a slew of bullets from [[Calvados|a Black Organization sniper]] to save Haibara.<ref name=Vermouth>[[Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon|Episode 345: Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon]]</ref> Haibara immediately thinks of her own sister, and begins acting to try to protect Ran from the organization, such as when Haibara begs for Ran to stay at Agasa's house when she knows that [[Korn]], [[Chianti]], and the rest of the Black Organization are lurking about, immediately thinking of her own sister's death, and wanting to keep Ran safe.<ref name=KornChianti>[[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!]]</ref>

Assuming that Conan has romantic feelings for Ran, Haibara feels jealous of her and suffer from considering herself as less attractive than Ran. She even implies that Ran would be similar to a dolphin, when she would only be a shark coming from the cold depths of the sea, indicating that she cannot compete against her<ref>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref>. Once when Haibara had a cold and Ran came to bring her some food, Ai pretended to be asleep and Conan said she wasn't being considerate for Ran's good actions towards her. Haibara thought to herself that Conan doesn't understand a thing, but she doesn't want him to anyway, hinting that she has actually romantic feelings towards Conan/Shinichi and is jealous due to his feelings for Ran.

====Subaru Okiya====
[[File:685-2.png|thumb|Haibara uncovering Subaru's scrarf]]

The first time [[Subaru]] appears, Haibara felt a strange feeling toward him and thought he is a member of the Black Organization. However, the feeling kept coming and going. In later episodes, Haibara doesn't seem to hate him so much anymore. She even tries to uncover Subaru's scarf to check something behind his neck, probably noticing some small machines made by Professor Agasa.

====Dai Moroboshi====
[[File:701_8.png|thumb|left|Dai Moroboshi in Haibara's thought]]

Haibara knows [[Dai Moroboshi]] as her sister's boyfriend. She deduces that Dai approaches her sister just to collect information about the Black Organization. Later on, she meets a [[Scar Akai|guy]] similar to him in [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] and wonders how he got the scar on his face.

=== Detective Boys ===
Haibara has tried to keep an emotional distance away from the rest of the Detective Boys at the beginning. However, over time, she can't resist their friendliness anymore and gradually warms up to them.

==== Ayumi Yoshida ====
[[File:330-1.png|thumb|left|Ayumi is happy for being allowed to call Haibara by her name (Ai)]]
{{Main|Ayumi Yoshida}}

Out of the Detective Boys, Haibara is the closest with [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. At one time, Ayumi noticed that she called everyone by their first names except for Haibara and decided to try and call her "Ai-chan", but without success. At the end of a case which involved a shattered friendship, Haibara told Ayumi that it was okay for her to call her "Ai-chan". When Mitsuhiko and Genta tried to call her that, however, she told them that only Ayumi was allowed to call her by her first name.<ref name=Ai-chan>[[A Friendship That Can't Be Bought|Episode 329-330: A Friendship That Can't Be Bought]]</ref> On the whole, Haibara seems to see Ayumi as a little sister, even going so far as to physically shield her from danger.<ref name=starsandtobacco>[[A Code of Stars and Tobacco|Episode 375: A Code of Stars and Tobacco (Part 2)]]</ref> Besides, Ayumi is one of the people who teach her that she cannot win by always running away, and that she has to face her enemies<ref>[[Episode 347|Episode 347: Find the Buttock's Mark]]</ref>.
However, Haibara and Ayumi may almost be love rivals, since both seem to develop romantic feelings for Conan: Ayumi even asks her if she is in love with him, and is really frightened when she is answered positively (she eventually cheers up when Haibara says she is not).<ref>[[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case|Episode 205: The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case]]</ref>

==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya ====
[[Image:279haibaramitsuhiko.png|thumb|right|220|Haibara listening in on Mitsuhiko's radio.]]
{{main|Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
Haibara's classmate and fellow detective [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] develops romantic feelings for her, and Haibara is fully aware of this. Haibara uses Mitsuhiko's feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also does admire his intelligence and courage during missions the Detective Boys must perform and respects his feelings. In some episodes she even shows more confidence in Mitsuhiko than in Ayumi or Genta when the going gets tough.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Sherry}}
[[Gin]] has an abnormal attachment for Shiho and seems to enjoy hunting her, while she hates and fears him. They had some sort of relationship in the past,<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__st__60__p__287218#entry287218 青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013]</ref> possibly romantic.<ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref>

==== Vodka ====
Shiho and [[Vodka]] have met and are acquaintances.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] and Shiho have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Shiho fears Vermouth more than other Black Organization members except perhaps Gin: in the first times, the feeling of her presence can even entirely paralyse her<ref>[[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 231: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref>. Shiho was initially Vermouth's target, but Vermouth promised to give up on her after Conan's intervention.<ref name=CD239/> She broke this promise later when Bourbon discovered a video of Sherry, still clinging to her personal conviction that Shiho is the one person who can't be allowed to exist in the world.<ref>Manga File 818</ref>

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]] knew Haibara's parents and sister, but they didn't know each other.

== People who know Haibara's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Ai Haibara's identity}}
These people know Haibara's true identity: Professor Agasa, Conan, Vermouth, Pisco, Heiji Hattori, Yukiko Kudo, Yusaku Kudo, and Shuichi Akai. It is also possible that James Black and Jodie Starling of the FBI know Haibara's true identity since they call Haibara by her codename "Sherry", although they may not know yet her true name.

== 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. Haibara placed 4th in the poll with 686 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. Haibara placed 4th out of 10.

*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. Haibara placed 3rd overall with 1,592 votes. (First place of all female characters)<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>

== Name origin ==
According to Agasa, Ai Haibara's name comes from [[wikipedia:Cordelia Gray|Cordelia '''Gray''']] (the character 灰 in her name means "ash") and [[wikipedia:V.I. Warshawski|V.'''I'''. Warshawski]] ("Ai" comes from the letter "I"). Although Agasa suggested she use the kanji 愛 (love) for "Ai", she preferred to use the kanji 哀 (sorrow).<ref>[[Volume 18#File 179 - The Girl Made of Lies|Volume 18, File 179: "The Girl Made of Lies"]]</ref> Her US FUNimation name, "Vi Graythorn", has similar roots. However, Gosho Aoyama in an interview posted in the May 2014 issue of Da Vinci magazine stated that the "Ai" in Ai Haibara comes from '''I'''rene Adler, a character from the Sherlock Holmes story "A Scandal in Bohemia".<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Da Vinci|month=May|year=2014|publisher=Kadokawa Shoten}}</ref>

Her US Viz name, Anita Hailey, comes from:
* Anita: Anne Katherine Green (the first American Mystery Writer)
* Hailey: Hero (though Anita didn't care much for the choice)<ref>Case Closed Volume 18: File 179 - The False Girl</ref>

Her codename '''Sherry''' is Detective Shunsaku Kudo's (from [[wikipedia:ja:探偵物語|Tantei Monogatari (Detective Tales)]]) favorite liquor.

== Trivia ==
*Sherry is a fortified wine from white grapes that are grown near the town of Jerez, Spain. Most sherries are initially dry, with sweetness added later. This could be a play on her personality that the Black Organization recognized. To further confirm the pun, in the Spanish dub of the anime, her codename in the organization is "Jerez" rather than "Sherry" (in Spanish language, both the town and the wine share the name), although she was renamed later to "Sherry" again.
* Haibara is an animal lover.
* Haibara strongly dislikes getting shocked by static electricity. She used to have some accessories to dissipate the charge, but she seems to have given up on them after Conan taught her a good strategy to avoid being shocked.<ref>Manga [[Volume 61]], Files 5-7 (635-637), Anime [[Episode 525]]</ref>
* Haibara reveals to [[Fujiko Mine]] that she used to ride a Harley before she shrank.<ref>[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]</ref>
* The first appearance of Haibara has her hair colored as brown but later on changed to reddish brown. However, it's changed to brown again.

'''{{nihongo|Sonoko Suzuki|鈴木園子|Suzuki Sonoko}}''', known in the Funimation English dub as '''Serena Sebastian''', is a character from the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Sonoko is [[Ran Mouri]]'s best friend and is the girlfriend of [[Makoto Kyogoku]], with whom she currently is in a long-distance relationship. [[Conan Edogawa]] sometimes has to knock her out with his stun gun watch to use her as his mouthpiece. Because of this, Sonoko has claimed to be a great high school detective in her own right, "Deduction Queen Sonoko".

== Background ==
Sonoko is the daughter of Tomoko and Shiro Suzuki, heads of the extremely wealthy family and large company. Sonoko has an older sister, [[Ayako Suzuki|Ayako]], and an uncle named [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi]], who is often involved in trying to capture the [[Kaitou Kid]]. Sonoko and Ran have been close friends since before Junior High School.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-11-04-20h34m41s202.png|right|225px|thumb|Sonoko is rather expressive.]]
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 diverted the attention of Sonoko's target, Sonoko would feel jealous and disappointed.<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's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref>

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 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> 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 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 patters, 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, Sonoko, like [[Kogoro Mouri]], completely buys 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 when she doesn't.<ref name=e356>[[Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk|Episode 356: Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk]]</ref>

== 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|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 he turns around, shocking them with his face and eye contact 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, to be 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 give chase 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 in bandages. Conan suspects that Ran saw something that made her a target, and the culprit is one of the people staying there. When Conan solves the case. Kogoro isn't there to be put to sleep, so he decides to solve the case by Ran. When he shoots the anesthetic needle, however, Sonoko end 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 of 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 teases 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 also to dinner as well. However, due to being nervous, 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|The serial killer tries to kill Sonoko...]]
Later, Sonoko is attacked when she interrupts a suspicious figure searching her belongings, and bites him before he escapes. The stoic and somewhat unfriendly [[Makoto Kyogoku|high school student]] that 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 his car broke 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 and misunderstood.

The next day, Michiwaki, Ran and Conan go eat at a restaurant while Sonoko tries to doze in the car. Suddenly, the car starts rolling toward the nearby cliff edge, and Sonoko barely escapes with her life. However, there is not evidence pointing toward a 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. Before he can hurt her, Makoto appears and saves her with an impressive martial arts display. Ran realizes that Makoto is a champion she's seen in competitions before; Makoto confesses awkwardly that he loves Sonoko, to Sonoko's surprise and delight. Though Makoto is often traveling for tounaments, 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|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|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|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.

== Relationships analysis ==

=== Family & 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 /> 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.

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.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
Whenever [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is near at 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 firey 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|200px|left|thumb|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]

Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=e266-268>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=e457-458 /> Sonoko loves to plot romantic rendezvous with Makoto,<ref name=e457-458 />; he tries to go along, though things don't always go the way Sonoko imagines they will.<ref name=e266-268 /><ref name=e457-458 /> He often warns her against dressing to revealingly, afraid she'll attract predatory men as a result.<ref name=e153-154 /><ref name=e266-268 />
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|200px|right|thumb|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 ====
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 ====
Sera appear and Ran, Sonoko, Sera sometimes goes home together. She always joke Sera about her chest

===Others===

====Kaito Kid====
[[File:701 4.png|thumb|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. Her love for Kid and Makoto are the same level.

== Trivia ==
* 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.

In [[Secret of the Tohto Film Development Studio]], Akai asks some FBI agents to surreptitiously photograph her. Akai then carries her photograph around in his truck in [[The Four Porsches]] case. He thinks aloud that her appearance is "too similar". It is confirmed that Akai had discovered Ai's true identity by the [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Showdown with Vermouth]]. Akai remarks that he is not willing to confront Haibara yet. Since the fake child identity "Ai Haibara" came into existence only very recently and had no direct interaction with Akai, he must have [[Akemi_Miyano#Shuichi_Akai|reasons related to his past with Shiho]] for him to feel unwilling to speak with her. It is uncertain whether he has told other FBI agents about this information.

It's entirely possible that Vermouth discovered Ai's identity in the middle of [[Reunion with the Black Organization]]. After that case, Vermouth says she wants to stay in Japan for a while because she had "something unsettling in her mind". If this is the case, the office scenes must have been a [[Wikipedia:Parallel construction|parallel construction]] charade to draw out the FBI agents she knew had followed her and bugged her office. She also lied during the showdown when she claimed that she had acted those scenes out because she wanted the FBI to find the girl for her. She already knew where Shiho was, but had to hide from the FBI the fact that she could instantly identify people who have been shrunken because she is aware that de-aging is possible.

{{nihongo|'''Shinichi Kudo'''|工藤新一|Kudō Shin'ichi}} is the high school detective protagonist of the manga and anime [[Detective Conan]]. While on a date with his childhood friend and romantic interest [[Ran Mouri]], Shinichi encounters [[Gin|two]] [[Vodka|men]] from a [[Black Organization|secret criminal organization]] who force feed him [[APTX 4869|a strange poison]] that causes his body to shrink back to first grade age. Shinichi takes up the alias '''[[Conan Edogawa]]''' and plans to use his immense skill as a detective to make Ran's [[Kogoro Mouri|bumbling private detective father]] famous in hopes that he will find a case involving the secret organization so he can expose its crimes and acquire an antidote that will turn him back into a teenager.

Viz romanized his original name as ''Shin'ichi Kudo'' while Shogakukan's website romanizes it as ''Shinichi Kudoh''.

== Background ==
At the beginning of the [[Detective Conan]] series, Shinichi is a 16-year old<ref name="f2" /><ref>[[Volume_15#File_141_-_Gone.21.3F|Volume 15, File 141, page 12: "Gone!?"]]</ref> (17, according to the anime)<ref name="e3" /> student at [[Setting#Teitan_High_School|Teitan High School]] who has become famous for helping the Tokyo police solve murder mysteries. Shinichi was born to [[Yusaku Kudo]], a mystery writer, and [[Yukiko Kudo]], a former movie star.<ref>[[Volume 5#File 049 - An Unfamiliar Visitor|Volume 5, File 49, page 163: "An Unfamiliar Visitor"]]</ref>

One day, Shinichi brings his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] to a local theme park called [[Tropical Land]], to celebrate her victory in the Metropolitan Karate Championships. He later ends up solving a murder case there.<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]].</ref> As they are leaving, Shinichi heads off alone to follow a suspicious man in black, [[Vodka]], who was a suspect in the earlier murder. Shinichi witnesses a blackmail exchange between Vodka and a company president in a secluded area just outside the park, but is too engrossed to notice [[Gin]], Vodka's partner, sneak up from behind. Gin knocks him out and forces him to swallow a new experimental poison known as [[APTX 4869]], and they then leave him to die. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurs: his body shrinks into that of his six year-old self.<ref name="f2" /> After escaping from well-meaning but skeptical park security, with nowhere else to go Shinichi heads home. He there runs into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], who warns him that he must keep his identity secret because the [[Black Organization]] will kill him and others associated with him should they discover the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>
[[Image:Conan Edogawa Investigating.jpg|120px|thumb|left|Conan Edogawa, the "small" Shinichi]]

=== Conan Edogawa ===
{{main|Conan Edogawa}}
Shinichi comes up with the alias Conan Edogawa from [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Edogawa Rampo|'''''Edogawa''''' Rampo]] and pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's, who places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2" /> Ran's father [[Kogoro Mouri]] owns a Detective Agency, which may allow Conan to run into a case involving the Black Organization. In the meantime, to protect his identity he is forced to play the part of a first-grader, including enrolling as a student at [[Teitan Elementary]]. Three classmates, [[Ayumi]], [[Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko]], befriend him and pull him into creating the ''[[Detective Boys]]'',<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case|Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> after which he tries to keep them out of trouble between using Kogoro as a mouthpiece to solve crimes and searching for how to get his big body back with the help of the creator of APTX 4869, [[Ai Haibara]].
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi is already well-known as a brilliant young detective, the "Savior of the police force", for solving many difficult cases the professionals could not.<ref name="e1" /> He is extremely intelligent, and even from a young age was very intuitive and observant. Due to the influence of his father and the general laissez-faire environment at home, he has long been an incessant and persistent reader, especially of mystery novels.<ref name="f569">[[Volume 55#File 569 - The Mischievous Boy|Volume 55, Files 569-572: "The Mischievous Boy"]]</ref> His father, Yusaku started taking Shinichi to crime scenes as a child, which inspired him to be a detective.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205, pages 74-78: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref> Due to his bluntness and matter-of-fact manner, Shinichi can come off as rude and arrogant. However, he cares deeply about human life, unable to understand how any reason could be sufficient motive for murder,<ref>[[Volume 26#File 258 - Momentary Rest|Volume 26, File 258, page 71: "Momentary Rest"]]</ref> and is convinced that driving a culprit to suicide is no better than murder itself. <ref>[[Volume 16#File 153 - Bonds of Flame|Volume 16, File 153: "Bonds of Flame"]]</ref> The few times he has been too late to save a life haunt him throughout the series.

Prior to his transformation, Shinichi enjoyed being in the spotlight and was rather arrogant, reveling in making local headlines and receiving fan-mail. Throughout the series, Shinichi's predicament causes him to gain a sense of humility. Shinichi still keeps his flair for the dramatic (like his mother) that can be seen every time he sets out a deduction in pieces building to a climax.

Despite his popularity with the masses and his schoolmates, Shinichi has very few close friends. He is close to Ran and Agasa, and after deaging, he befriended Heiji, Haibara, and to some extent the other Detective Boys. Another reason for his lack of close friends was because his arrogant personality was a negative turn-off to many of his classmates and even teachers, making it hard to befriend him. Even with his close friends (one being older than him), Shinichi doesn't hesitate to call them "idiot", instead of calmly explaining his reason for doing or not doing something, sometimes causing arguments between him and Ran.

Shinichi also had a tendency, since elementary school, to have an air of being the "distant, cool guy". While he is a truly good and heroic individual, he doesn't make it known to others that obviously, and will make some "deductive reasoning" for why he did such a thing. His sensitive nature is also horrible, which was shown most prominently during the Holmes' Revelation Arc, when Ran started crying because she believed that Shinichi not telling her he was in London meant that he was indifferent to her feelings for him. However, instead of trying to comfort her, Shinichi repeatedly asked her about the [[Yukiko Kudo|strange woman]] she met, and told her to pull herself together.

Despite his intelligence, Shinichi is rather dense when it comes to love or romantic subjects, though perhaps not to the same extent as [[Heiji Hattori]]. He struggled to confess his love for to Ran, even after he knew her feelings (as Conan), and temporarily returned to his original body in the Desperate Revival Arc, he was about to confess to her, but chickened out at the last minute. After several failures, finally succeeded in [[Holmes' Revelation|London]]. However, he was revealed to be an amazing "wingman" in Episodes 253-254.

== Appearance ==
Shinichi is a 174 cm<ref name=CD41 /> (5'8.5") Japanese teenager with a thin, athletic build. He has pale skin and a dark brown/black hair with a cowlick in front and distinctive tuft in the back. Shinichi bears a striking resemblance to his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]] minus his father's mustache and round glasses. Shinichi has blue eyes in the manga (a trait shared by all the characters), and they are blue in the anime as well.

Shinichi is right handed and right footed, but he is good with both feet because of his soccer skills.

Shinichi often appears in his high school uniform, but he also wears a suit and tie or regular clothing depending on the occasion. When Conan turns back into Shinichi by using [[baijiu]] or a [[temporary antidote]], Shinichi will wear whatever appropriately sized clothing he can find at the time. He was also very popular with the girls as he was handsome not to mention a high school detective.

==Skills==
:''See also: [[Conan Edogawa#Skills|Conan's Skills]]''
=== Detective skills ===
Shinichi is very skilled as a detective, often earning him comparisons to [[Sherlock Holmes]]. Shinichi has acquired various nicknames because of his prowess, such as the "[[Wikipedia:Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and the "Detective of the East". He has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to ignore or not take into account. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to recall every detail of an investigation or other topics he cares about, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Shinichi's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Shinichi has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases, something he likely acquired from incessant reading as a child. Only his father [[Yusaku Kudo]], and the current [[Kaitou Kid]], [[Kaito Kuroba]], regularly surpass him.

=== Athletic ability ===
Besides intelligence, Shinichi also has an amazing athletic ability, partially derived from playing soccer, his favorite sport. Shinichi is an extremely skilled soccer player, having been professionally scouted while only in middle school, but he chooses to stay at the amateur level. He initially played to hone his reflexes and often juggles a ball to clear his mind, but he is also an enthusiastic fan of the sport in its own right.<ref name="e1"/> In order to defend himself and others from criminals, Shinichi has perfected a signature, powerful precision kick to knock out criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Shinichi's kick is accurate over long distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing and snowboarding.

Aside from soccer, Shinichi exhibits a knack for handling firearms due to his father taking him to shooting ranges from time to time. During the Clocktower Heist, Shinichi is able to shoot and dislodge the support beam of a giant projection screen, which Kaitou Kid had placed in order to fool a crowd of onlookers, with a single shot from a moving helicopter. Additionally, in [[Movie 2]] Conan shot a gun at Ran and the criminal holding her hostage with impeccable accuracy; in doing so, he reminds her of Shinichi.

Shinichi is nimble as well as strong. In the manga, he is capable of considerable acrobatics, jumping great distances and swinging from tree to tree to escape onlookers.<ref>Shiragami case</ref> The anime and movies augment Shinichi's athletic abilities in addition to what is shown in the manga. He has been able to skillfully dodge a kicking assault from an angry Ran, something very few have ever managed.

=== Music ===
Shinichi cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being [[Wikipedia:tone deaf|tone deaf]]. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Shinichi has [[Wikipedia:perfect pitch|perfect pitch]] and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody.<ref>[[Volume 15#File 144 - Their Voices Are Alike!?|Volume 15, File 144: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref> Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in movie 12 ''[[Full Score of Fear]]'' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

=== Language ===
Shinichi is well-educated in English, as he once conversed with and translated for an American diplomat, and later solved a case in London without evidence of any language barrier.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref><ref name="f743">[[Volume 71#File 743 - Holmes' Apprentice|Volumes 71-72, Files 743-752: "Holmes' Apprentice"]]</ref> Shinichi also knows some German, at least how to count.<ref>[[Genta's Certain Kill Shot]]</ref> Shinichi is not familiar with Italian.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref>

== Plot overview ==
Because the main plot revolves around the fact that Shinichi has become 'Conan' and is forced into hiding, Shinichi is rarely in the series as himself. However, Conan is frequently shown calling Ran using his voice-changing bow tie to sound like Shinichi and sending/receiving text messages from her with "Shinichi's" phone. In these instances, it can be said that the character of Shinichi, albeit in the body of Conan, is appearing, since these phone conversations and text messages allow Shinichi to be himself, however briefly. The below instances however, are actual appearances of Shinichi as well as flashbacks from before the series began.

=== Transformations back into Shinichi ===

==== Roller Coaster Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|001-002]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|001]])====
[[Image:Shinichi appears.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi appears to correct Hattori's deduction]] Shinichi starts as himself in the Roller coaster murder case, but by the end he has been transformed into Conan, thus beginning the series' plot. Since then, Conan has temporarily turned back to Shinichi several times.

==== Great Detective of the West (Manga: [[Volume 10|092-095]], Anime: [[Diplomat Murder Case|048-049]])====
Shinichi's next real appearance after shrinking is in [[Volume 10]], when a strange detective from Osaka named [[Heiji Hattori]] arrives at Mouri Detective Agency looking for Shinichi in order to determine which of them is the better detective. A strange combination of having a cold and drinking the [[baijiu]] that Heiji had brought along allows Conan to briefly grow into Shinichi once again.<ref>[[Volume 10#File 092 - The Great Detective Of The West|Volume 10, Files 92-96: "The Great Detective Of The West"]]</ref> However, he develops an immunity to the alcohol and cannot replicate the transformation.

==== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 26|254-260]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|188-193]]) ====
In [[Volume 26]], Conan is able to become Shinichi using an [[Antidote (prototype)]] that [[Ai Haibara]] synthesized. As himself, he tries to surprise Ran by disguising himself as a character in her play, but is interrupted by a murder case and ends up revealing himself to his entire high school. [[Heiji Hattori]] covers for him and Shinichi is able to spend about 48 hours as himself, albeit with a brief collapse about halfway through. He turns back into Conan just as he seems to be about to confess his feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 26#File 254 - An Infatuated Heart|Volume 26, Files 254-260: "An Infatuated Heart"]]</ref>

==== The Murderer is Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 62|646-651]], Anime: [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|521-523]])====
Shinichi's next appearance is not until [[Volume 62]], when, while on a case with Heiji, Conan goes missing and 'Shinichi' seems to appear. The 'Shinichi' is actually someone who had gotten plastic surgery to look like Shinichi Kudo, and is actually trying to blame Shinichi for a murder. The real Shinichi hides in the forest until he can clear his name. Shinichi had been temporarily restored by another of Haibara's prototypes, but this time by accident; Agasa mistakenly gave them to Shinichi thinking they were cold medicine.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 646 - Village of Animosity|Volume 62, Files 646-651: "Village of Animosity"]]</ref> After the case is solved Shinichi transforms back to Conan, but luckily, Haibara secretly followed him there and gives him another antidote, saving him from revealing his identity to Kogoro, Ran and Kazuha. While driving home from the case, the group is stopped by another murder which Shinichi and Heiji investigate together, despite increasing pangs that warn of his imminent reversion to Conan. After the case is resolved, Ran tries to stop Shinichi from leaving, saying she has something to tell him. Shinichi stops her, saying "According to my deductions, what you have to say and what I have to say are the same thing." Ran seizes his hand while he is transforming back into Conan, and though Haibara knocks her out with Conan's wristwatch, she refuses to let go of his hand. Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] have to cut and re-pin Conan's shirt onto him because Ran is still clutching his hand and he refuses to pull out of her grip.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 652 - The Thing She Really Wants to Ask|Volumes 62-63, Files 652-654: "The Thing She Really Wants to Ask"]]</ref>

==== Holmes' Revelation (Manga: [[Volume 71|743-751]], Anime: [[Holmes' Revelation|616-621]])====
In [[Volume 71]], Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are invited to England by a rich, elite British woman, Diana Kingstone, after Kogoro finds her cat under the table in Café Poirot. However, since 'Conan Edogawa' doesn't have the proper credentials to fly internationally, Ai gives him a prototype pill so that Shinichi and Agasa can fly low-profile to England on the same plane that Ran and Kogoro are flying. Ai provides a second prototype pill for the return journey, but Conan uses it while Ran was pursuing him in London. During that trip, Shinichi answers Ran's hurt feelings over his behavior with the fact that he cares for her and that he likes her; unfortunately, before she could respond or confess in kind, Shinichi has to vanish and becomes Conan again. Luckily for Conan, Shinichi's parents appear because Ai had expected him to use the second pill, and they provide him with an extra antidote to let Conan return to Japan. <ref name="f743" />

=== Flashback Appearances ===

==== Shinichi's first case (Manga: [[Volume 21|204-207]], Anime: [[The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case|162]])====
One year ago, Shinichi solved his first case by himself on a plane flying to New York City. The second half of this trip is retold in the next flashback.

==== Golden Apple (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]] and [[Volume 35|351-354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])====
One year ago, Shinichi went to New York City with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to meet up with his mother and see a play called the Golden Apple in [[Volume 35]]. There, they met [[Vermouth]] and [[Shuichi Akai]] for the first time.

==== Heiji's Memories (Manga: [[Volume 50|518-521]], Anime: [[Heiji Hattori vs. Shinichi Kudo: Deduction Battle on the Ski Slope|490]])====
During a call to Conan, Heiji talks about a brilliant detective kid he met at a skiing trip during middle school who was actually Shinichi who he competed with to solve the mystery.

==== Challenge from the original Kaitou Kid (Manga: [[Volume 55|570-573]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure|472-473]])====
In [[Volume 55#Shinichi's Childhood Adventure|Volume 55]], a flashback revealed that as first-graders, Shinichi and Ran had been given a riddle by the original [[Kaitou Kid]], [[Toichi Kuroba]].<ref>[[Volume 53#File 550 - The Only Witness|Volume 53, Files 550-553: "The Only Witness"]]</ref>

==== Memories of Light Blue (Manga: [[Volume 83|882]] and [[Volume 84|883-884]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo Aquarium Case|772-773]])====
During an aquarium visit with Conan and the Detective Boys, Ran remembers going to the aquarium with Shinichi almost a year ago. After solving a murder case there, it is revealed how Shinichi came to promise Ran [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|their trip to Tropical Land]].

==== Ran GIRL/Shinichi BOY (Manga: [[Volume 87|921-924]], Anime: ??)====

=== Non-Canonical Appearances ===
==== Movie 7 ====
In Movie 7, Heiji was injured and Kazuha kidnapped; her abductors threatened to kill her unless Heiji showed up for her. Believing Heiji to be unable to do so, Conan contacted Ai and asked if there was any way for him to briefly become Heiji. Ai gave him medicine to simulate the effects of a cold, then he drank some [[Baijiu]] which had changed him in his and Heiji's first manga appearance. Conan became Shinichi for approximately an hour, but according to Ai he was extremely weak and sick for the entire time.

==== OVA 9 ====
In OVA 9, Conan takes another prototype antidote. However, it proves less effective than the prototype he used during the Desperate Revival arc; Conan became Shinichi, but only for a few hours, and remained in a feverish state, unable to wake up until he had reverted back to Conan. During his time unconscious, he had a vivid hallucination that he had grown to age 17 again as Conan and that Ran, aged 27, was about to marry [[Tomoaki Araide]].

==== Live action special 2 ====

==== Live-action drama series ====
{{main|Challenge Letter to Shinichi Kudo}}

== Relationships analysis ==
Since Shinichi is not featured as prominently as Conan throughout the series, only a few of his relationships with other characters have been substantially explored.

=== Family & Friends ===
[[Image:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Shinichi and Ran]]
==== Ran Mouri ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Ran Mouri]] is Shinichi's childhood friend and canonical love interest. They have been friends and playmates since kindergarten<ref name="f569"/><ref>[[Volume 11#File 107 - The Two Mysteries|Volume 11, File 107: "The Two Mysteries"]]</ref>, though Shinichi's tendency to drag Ran along into minor trouble caused some censure from [[Eri Kisaki|her mother]]. Shinichi has liked Ran since at least the first year of middle school, and turned down any other potential love interests as a result, but she has never realized this.<ref>[[Volume 18#File 175 - Unlock Your Heart!?|Volume 18, File 175, page 92: "Unlock Your Heart!?"]]</ref> Shinichi was similarly oblivious to Ran's regard until Ran confessed to Conan that despite his faults, which she is well aware of, she has liked Shinichi for some time.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 64: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> Shinichi has since confessed his feelings to Ran in the non-[[canon]] 4th movie 'Captured In Her Eyes' (which Ran mistook as his attempt to get her memories back), and made attempts to say something during temporary cures in the manga and anime, but cases always seem to interfere until the cure runs out. Shinichi since then has finally canonically confessed to Ran in the case in London.<ref>[[Volume 72#File 752 - A Troublesome and Difficult Case|Volume 72, File 752, page 14: "A Troublesome and Difficult Case"]]</ref> Ran has yet to verbally return his confession, but Shinichi is confident he now understands how she feels already.

[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|250px|Shinichi Kudo somewhat and somehow confesses his feelings for [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to her under the Big Ben in London, during the Holmes' Revelation Arc.]]
Shinichi's initial disappearance troubled Ran to the point of insomnia and nearly going to the police. Since then, Shinichi sometimes calls Ran over the telephone and imitates his normal voice with the [[voice-changing bowtie]] so that she doesn't worry about him. He convinces her that he is off solving a very difficult case and will return once the investigation concludes.<ref>[[Volume_1#File_009_-_An_Unfortunate_Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9, Page 15: "An Unfortunate Misunderstanding"]]</ref> In reality, he is the brain behind her father's rapid rise to fame as a detective.

Shinichi/Conan is not without sexual fantasies regarding Ran, the most obvious evidence being his nosebleeds or blushing when he sees her in a bathing suit<ref>[[Volume 83#File 873 - Red Devil|Volume 83, File 873, Page 4: "Red Devil"]]</ref>, or when Ran pulled him into an [[wikipedia: onsen|onsen]] with her.<ref>[[Volume_9#File_084_-_Kogoro.27s_Class_Reunion|Volume 9, File 4: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> For her part, Ran often blushes when thinking of Shinichi, especially when Sonoko teases her about their relationship. Her attitude towards Conan is one of more open, sisterly affection, such as giving him hugs or holding his hand. Shinichi has some concerns of bodily harm should Ran realize that not only has he been lying to her, but they've shared a bed and taken a bath together.<ref>[[Volume 14#File 134 - Question In Dead Leave|Volume 14, File 134, pages 60-67: "Question In Dead Leave"]]</ref>

Shinichi and Ran appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making each of them feel the other's worry and agitation in times of extreme danger.<ref>Manga Chapters 372-373: Serial Bomber Case</ref>

{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
{{main|Kudo family}}
[[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] Kudo are both aware that [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is in fact Shinichi. His parents are even more famous than he is, with Yusaku being a famous mystery novelist and Yukiko being a retired actress who remains partially involved in the industry. They currently live in the United States and travel extensively, having left Shinichi in Japan on his own when he was fourteen. Though he sometimes finds his parents' carefree ways to be annoying, he loves them dearly. Yusaku is also a detective with the same keen eye for details, and similarly to Holmes' brother Mycroft, Yusaku always seems to solve a case one step ahead of his son.

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
Although not related by blood, there is a strong family-like bond between Shinichi and [[Hiroshi Agasa]]. Agasa was the first to know about Shinichi's shrunk predicament and was the one to tell him to keep it a secret. Most of the gadgets that Shinichi has were made by Agasa to help Shinichi catch the criminals and solve the cases as Conan. He also knows about Shinichi's romantic relationship with Ran and sometimes teases him about it in front of her (when Shinichi can't do anything about it since he is Conan).

==== Heiji Hattori ====
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo beats Heiji in their first case. Even though Heiji discovers Shinichi's secret, he decides to keep quiet (though he often slips up and calls him Kudo in front of others). After Heiji realizes the truth, the two have become best friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They have solved many cases together, and Heiji is the person Shinichi turns to for advice or for confirmation regarding a deduction. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend or brother.

Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better (or even equal), and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" (Osaka) is better than the "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives.

=== Detective Boys ===
So far, Shinichi did not canonically meet the detective boys before becoming Conan. In the non-canonical animated special, [[Magic File 2: The Case of the Mysterious Wall and the Black Lab|OVA Magic File 2]], four years prior to him becoming Conan, a thirteen-year-old Shinichi came across the Detective Boys, [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], while they were still three years old. He needed their help in confirming a client's alibi. Also, in the first live action drama and the first episode of the anime<ref>The anime was altered to introduce the Detective Boys early. In the manga they met after Shinichi became Conan.</ref>, the Detective Boys are seen sneaking into Tropical Land for treasure. Ran then says, pointing to the children, "It was like that last time, huh?" to Shinichi.

==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}

[[Ai Haibara]], a defector from the [[Black Organization]] who was shrunk with the same poison as Shinichi, is the third girl that seems to have somewhat romantic feelings for Conan/Shinichi, although she never truly admits it. Indeed, it is a mystery just exactly what she feels for him, whether friendship or otherwise. Some people, such as [[Yukiko Kudo|Conan's mother]], have stated that she has feelings for Conan. It could be said that, because of their almost equal level of intelligence as well as similarities in their pasts (i.e. they're both victims of the [[APTX 4869]]), she finds it easier to talk to him. She loves to tease him or otherwise insult him, pointing out his weakness.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Juzo Megure ====
[[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] has worked together with Shinichi to solve many cases. During Shinichi's first case on the plane to New York, Megure seemed irritated that Shinichi was poking his nose into a murder case. Since then, because Shinichi has proven himself solving cases one after the other, Megure has grown to respect Shinichi and his deductive abilities, thanking him for his assistance.

=== Others ===
==== Kaitou Kid ====
Despite the fact [[Toichi Kuroba|Toichi]] and Shinichi only met once prior to Toichi's death, it's worth mentioning that Toichi referred to Shinichi as his "older brother" and himself as the "younger brother". This is because Yusaku created and thus was the '''father''' of the moniker [[Kaitou Kid|Kaitou '''Kid''']], Toichi's secret identity. Toichi's son and successor, [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]], has also only crossed paths with Shinichi as Shinichi once, during the [[The_Gathering_of_the_Detectives!_Kudo_Shinichi_vs._Kaitou_Kid|Clocktower heist]]. Kaito thought Shinichi made the heist harder (and thus less boring) in [[Saguru Hakuba]]'s absence, and Shinichi found Kid's intention of 'stealing' the Clocktower in order to save it from demolition to be fairly admirable.

In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi had become Conan, Kid disguised himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki Black Star pearl. When Conan cornered him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid suggested that he'd stolen all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ended up being a bluff, Conan was shocked and infuriated. In subsequent encounters between Kid and Conan, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid. In several instances he appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence; knowing Kid is close by often causes Conan to behave far more frenetically. However, in several instances, beginning with the "Big Adventure in the Eccentric Residence" case, when Kid does Conan/Shinichi a favor, such as saving Genta's life in the aforementioned case, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape unhindered.

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity and none have betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], Conan's parents, [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] also knows, but she has kept it a secret from the rest of the Organization to protect Shinichi because he had [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354.2C_Anime:_286-288.29|saved her life in New York]]. [[Eisuke Hondou]], the younger brother of C.I.A. agent [[Hidemi Hondou]], also knows and keeps Conan's secret. [[Kaitou Kid]] also knows Conan's identity in the movies, though it is not clear whether he knows Conan's secret in the actual anime and manga. However, Kid seems to know there is something unusual about Conan, as whenever he tries to publicly steal he usually reveals that he only wants to compete with Conan as thief and detective. [[Ran]] gets suspicious on occasion, but so far Conan has managed to trick her into thinking Conan and Shinichi are two different people. Finally, [[Subaru Okiya]] has seen Conan use Shinichi's voice with his bowtie voice modifier. Since Subaru Okiya is actually [[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise, this means that Akai knows about it as well.

== Character popularity ==
*In a ''Newtype'' poll from 2001, Shinichi ranked fourth in the category "Top 10 Most Popular Male Anime Characters in Japan."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2001-08-12/newtype-top-10-anime|title=Newtype top 10 Anime|date=2001-08-12|publisher=Anime News Network|accessdate=2009-06-29}}</ref> In a ''Newtype Magazine'' poll from March 2010, Shinichi was voted as the ninth most popular male anime character from the 1990's.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Newtype, Issue 4|month=March|year=2010|publisher=Kadokawa Shoten|title=NT Research}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Shinichi's given name is a pun on "one truth". The "ichi" (一) means "one" and "shin" can be read as truth (真), however the kanji actually used for "shin" (新) in Shinichi's name means "new".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C|title=WWWJDIC: Word Search|date=2011|publisher=Jim Breen|accessdate=2011-09-04}}</ref> Shinichi's family name "Kudo" comes from the fictional detective Shunsaku Kudo created by Nobumitsu Kodaka. <ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Detective Conan|volume=18|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1998-01-17 |isbn=4-09-125048-3|chapter=|page=Back cover flap|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref> The ON-readings of the kanji for "Kudo" mean "craft" or "construction" (工) and "wisteria" (藤). <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1B|title=WWWJDIC: Kanji Selection|date=2011|publisher=Jim Breen|accessdate=2011-09-04}}</ref>
"Shinichi" may also have come from "Shinichi Suzuki", a famous violinist. (Shinichi Kudo plays violin){{citation needed}}

== Character inspiration ==
Shinichi's design was based off of Conan's. Gosho said Shinichi's hairstyle was designed in about one minute. He smoothed [[Yaiba]]'s hair and added a tuft modeled after the apostrophe hairstyle of Kabu from [[Wikipedia:Sally_the_Witch|Sally the Witch]]. The tuft on hair on the top of Shinichi's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia:Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Shinichi's speech habits were meant to be slightly rough like Joe from [[Wikipedia:Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]] and [[Wikipedia:Touch (manga)|Touch]].<ref>File 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet</ref>

After returning to Mouri Detective Agency, Heiji asks them to help find Teruaki Kunisue, a sophmore from Teitan University who Heiji accidentally gave Kazuha's lucky charm. They all head to Teitan University the next day only to find out that he has not been attending classes due to a broken wrist. Ran learns from Kazuha that she left a photo of Heiji in it and does not want Heiji to find out about the charm's contents. Later, Ran, Conan, Heiji, and Kazuha, go to a sports parlor where Teruaki is suppose to be only to discover from the police that Teruaki has been assaulted by an unknown assailant.

Conan and Heiji deduce that Teruaki attended a baseball game and that one of the suspects must be lying. Conan and Heiji realize that the soccer game fan, Takuya Kyuma, had been using baseball terms to describe a soccer game meaning he attended a baseball game. They reveal that '''Takuya Kyuma''' attacked Teruaki for a baseball he got from a home run and reveal that the baseball is in his popcorn bag. Kyuma confesses and reveals his dead girlfriend's wish was to get a baseball from a home run. At the hospital, Teruaki decides to let Kyuma have the baseball and drop the charges after hearing his story. Teruaki apologizes to Kazuha and tells her Heiji has her charm. Heiji finds the picture has been doodled on and becomes irritated with Kazuha.

'''{{nihongo|Miwako Sato|佐藤美和子|Satō Miwako}}''', also known as '''Detective Saimone''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a police assistant inspector and detective in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[Image:Miwako and her father.png|thumb|left|150px|Miwako and her last moment with her father]] Eighteen years ago, when she was still at elementary school, Miwako lost her father, [[Masayoshi Sato]], in a traffic accident as he was about to deliver a bank robber to the police - an event that marked her life. She eventually became a police officer on her own and now works alongside [[Inspector Megure]], [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], [[Detective Chiba]], and especially [[Wataru Takagi]] in the Tokyo police district.

Sato first met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]] during a blackmail case against Nichiuri TV.<ref>Manga Chapter 190: The 56 Thousand Hostages</ref> In a subsequent case which dealt with a cunning murder of a banker's wife by her husband, she became impressed with Conan's intellect and deductionary ability and has since come to trust his judgements implicitly.<ref>Manga Chapter 210: An Unexpected Rival</ref> Eventually, the case of her father's death was also resolved with [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]]'s help, which helped fanning the spark of affection she was feeling for him at the time.<ref>Manga Chapter 269: Time's Up</ref>

Sato's first love interest was [[Jinpei Matsuda]], whom she only got to know briefly due to his death by the hands of a dangerous bomber. Although she denied it at first, she finally acknowledged her feelings for Takagi, which made him the outcast among the other jealous police officers who were interested in her, especially [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Shiratori]]. Nonetheless, for a very long time, anytime they were about to take their relationship to the very next step, something got in the way (mostly in the shape of Miwako's best friend, [[Yumi Miyamoto|Yumi]]), until Sato and Takagi - mostly undisturbed (thanks to the help of Conan and the Detective Boys for creating a makeshift reason for the interlopers to leave) - shared their very first kiss when Takagi was hospitalized in the course of a hard case.<ref>Manga Chapter 673: The Common Pattern</ref>Then had their second kiss (and third) when Takagi survived a bombing accident.<ref>Episode 683: The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love(Enter The Scene)</ref>

== Personality ==
Sato is considered one of the most dangerous members of the police, being not at all afraid to get tangled with dangerous men in fights, which she almost always wins. However, she does have a softer personality, in which she is very friendly with the [[Detective Boys]], and especially [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], whom she considers is a big help in difficult cases. When in action, however, Sato can be quite reckless and daring, which has earned her the title 'The Silver Witch' among car racers on Mount Fuyuna due to her driving style.<ref>Manga Chapter 663: The True Identity of the Witch</ref>

Her favorite hobbies are going to the karaoke, attending all-you-can-eat offers, and going out to eat ramen.

== Plot overview ==

=== Stadium Bomber Case (Manga: [[Volume 19|189]]-[[Volume 20|191]]; Anime: [[The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case|130-131]]) ===
Miwako's first appearance was in Episode 130, and in manga File 190, where she is seen trying to arrest the culprit's accomplice along with other police officers, but failed.

=== Treadmill Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 21|208-210]]; Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|146-147]]) ===

This case is the very beginning of the long and enduring love story between Miwako Sato and her fellow police officer, [[Wataru Takagi]].

One night, Sato and her friend [[Yumi Miyamoto]] from the traffic department have a drink together. In her drunken state, Sato unknowingly reveals to Yumi the person that she has feelings for, however, when she wakes up, she doesn't remember the exact details of what she has told her friend. The next day, Sato arrives at the Police Headquarter and meets up with detective [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]], who is talking to the [[Detective Boys]] at the time. She asks Takagi who the children are, only to be mistaken by them that she is his girlfriend. However, both of them denies that this is true. She also wonders if Takagi has heard anything from Yumi, without knowing that her friend has already told the police officer about what happened the previous night, saying that the person whom Sato likes is "someone from the first investigation division".

Later, the bank manager from a recent bank robbery case comes to see the police. During his phone call to his wife, everyone hears her sudden scream. Sato immediately drives Takagi, Conan and the manager to their house, only to discover the wife's stabbed body instead. The person to be in charge of this murder case is Inspector [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], a police officer who has just been promoted recently. Sato sarcastically congratulates Shiratori on his rapid promotion, and jokingly comments that he may as well consider her "a possible wedding match", without knowing that this statement has raised a major misunderstanding from Takagi, who thinks that she really has affection for the new police inspector.

With the help from Conan, the trick and the identity of the killer are uncovered, and the case goes to an end. When all works are done, Shiratori invites Sato to have dinner with him at a restaurant that he knows but she turns down the offer, saying that French cuisine isn't her favorite. She instead invites Takagi to go out and eat ramen together. Just as the misunderstanding earlier is about to be cleared and Takagi finally has the chance to be with Sato, a drunken [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] suddenly appears and suggests them go out for a drink with him at a bar. Sato immediately approves of the idea despite the other invitation to Takagi, thus raises another serious misconception: Detective Sato has special feelings for Inspector Megure.

=== Serial Bomber Case (Manga: [[Volume 36|369]]-[[Volume 37|373]]; Anime: [[The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages|304]]) ===
During this case, she was having many flash backs of her former crush who was killed during a bombing incident. When the bombing started to become more familiar, she became very worried for Takagi. When Takagi and Conan were trapped in an elevator with a mercury lever bomb, Takagi told Sato that he and Conan would have to remain and die with the bomb to get the name of the location of a much bigger bomb. She tried to force her way through police to get to Takagi, but failed. However, the bomb was disabled by Conan at last second. Later after capturing the bomber, she ran after him and attempted to kill him as she was fully taken in with revenge. At the last second before she would have killed him, Takagi tackled Sato and even smacked her in the face to make her regain her senses. Takagi and Sato almost kissed, but the arrival of Inspector Megure broke the moment.

=== Whistling Killer Case (Manga: [[Volume 64|670-673]]; Anime: [[The Scar that Evokes the Past|534-535]]) ===

Sato and Takagi had agreed on going out to a spa as soon as a difficult case (involving a serial killer whose cases are about to caducate) that they're working on alongside Megure, Shiratori and Matsumoto. Takagi gets very fired up and decides to work harder than usual; their seniors, however, see it as a terrible signal since officers who behave like that often end up dying in the line of duty, which greatly worries Sato. This bad omen almost becomes true when Takagi ends up being shot, with only a mahjong tile he carried in his pocket saving him from death. Sato is greatly relieved when he survives, and they finally can share a kiss.

=== The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love (Manga: [[Volume 76|804]]-[[Volume 77|808]]; Anime: [[The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love|681-683]]) ===
[[File:683-6.png|thumb|Sato jumps from a helicopter to save Takagi]]

Takagi is kidnapped by a mysterious man who misunderstands that he is [[Wataru Date]] who makes his daughter commits suicide. He is bandaged on a plank of wood and there is a bomb under it. Sato saves kidnapped Takagi from killed by a bomb put under him.

===Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9 ([[Volume 82|869-871]]; Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9|748-749]])===
[[File:748-1.png|thumb|Embarrassed Sato]]

Sato hesitates when thinking about that she's expecting but has lost. Naeko, Takagi and Yumi believe that her period is late... and since Takagi is now her lover as well as her partner, this means 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.

===Non-canon Appearances===
==== Captured in Her Eyes ([[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4]]) ====
During ''Captured in Her Eyes'', Miwako was a target of a serial killer. She thought she was safe, but when she and Ran went to the bathroom, a blackout in the hotel occurred. A gunman then came into the bathroom, and she jumped on Ran to protect her. However, she was shot several times and put into a coma. This incident caused a large deal of grief for Ran and Takagi, even going as far as to make Ran completely lose her memories. She was given by doctors a 50% chance at surviving due to one bullet stopping extremely close to her heart. Luckily, she survived.

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
{{main|Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato}}
[[Image:Episode 535 - Sato and Takagi kiss.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Sato and Takagi]]Miwako started to have feelings for [[Takagi]] after seeing the resemblance he has of the deceased Matsuda Jinpei. Their relationship gradually develops as the series continues.
{{clearright}}

==== Yumi Miyamoto ====
[[Image:Miwako and Yumi.png|thumb|right|150px|Miwako and Yumi chatting]]Yumi is Miwako's best friend in the headquarter. They are seen together a lot, and Yumi always teases Miwako about her relationship with Takagi. She often tries to bring the two closer together, much to the chagrin of Sato and Takagi. They have been friends for at least 10 years.
{{clearright}}

==== Inspector Megure ====
[[Image:Inspector Megure and Miwako Sato.png|thumb|right|150px|Inspector Megure with Miwako Sato]]Inspector Megure is like a father figure to Miwako as she said to Takagi in one of the episodes (although Takagi mistook it as a love interest at first).
{{clearright}}
==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[Image:Conan with Officer Sato.png|thumb|right|150px|Miwako listens to Conan]]Miwako seems to admire Conan, like Takagi, usually telling Conan information that are actually forbidden to be leaked to normal citizens.
{{clearright}}

==== Ninzaburo Shiratori ====
Although Shiratori crushes on Sato and at some point attempts to marry her, she views him as a friend. It is later revealed that the main reason Shiratori had a crush on her was because he believed her to be the "girl of destiny" who changed his life but later it turned out that said woman was [[Sumiko Kobayashi]], who bears an extreme physical similarity to Sato. Once this is revealed, Shiratori stops chasing after Sato's affections.

==== Miwako Sato's mother ====

== Trivia ==
[[File:Satos FD.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Sato's RX-7]]
* Sato drives a [[Cars#Miwako_Sato|red series 6 Mazda (Ẽfini) RX-7]]. It used to be white, but she painted it red so it would be more visible in the fog.
* Sato has a habit of shrieking while drifting without pulling the handbrake as she feels that shrieking helps make it easier. But she finds it embarrassing, though. This habit caused the "Mountain Witch" story to happen, as people reported the the witch would drift using a white FD and scream really loud.
* Sato is a fan of [[Lupin III]] and has stated that he was her first love.
* Sato dislikes any shiny and expensive jewelry. This fact was used by Yumi to trick some of Sato's admirers to buy expensive her jewels that Yumi herself finds nice. However, Sato currently wears a ring which that Takagi bought for her, not realizing that he intended it to be an engagement ring.
* A running gag in the series is how whenever she and Takagi go on a date, they are stalked by other police detectives who have crushes on her.
* In the English Dub, during Captured In Her Eyes, a script error says that Sato died when she was shot. This is false, however, all parts of the movie say she died, until the end of the movie where it says she will survive. Why this is like this is unknown.
* Sato is bad at drawing.
* Sato, Takagi and Yumi are the only Police Officers to take Conan seriously, usually treating him as an equal.
* Sato means ''sugar'' in English.

'''{{nihongo|Miwako Sato|佐藤美和子|Satō Miwako}}''', also known as '''Detective Saimone''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a police assistant inspector and detective in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[Image:Miwako and her father.png|thumb|left|150px|Miwako and her last moment with her father]] Eighteen years ago, when she was still at elementary school, Miwako lost her father, [[Masayoshi Sato]], in a traffic accident as he was about to deliver a bank robber to the police - an event that marked her life. She eventually became a police officer on her own and now works alongside [[Inspector Megure]], [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], [[Detective Chiba]], and especially [[Wataru Takagi]] in the Tokyo police district.

Sato first met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]] during a blackmail case against Nichiuri TV.<ref>Manga Chapter 190: The 56 Thousand Hostages</ref> In a subsequent case which dealt with a cunning murder of a banker's wife by her husband, she became impressed with Conan's intellect and deductionary ability and has since come to trust his judgements implicitly.<ref>Manga Chapter 210: An Unexpected Rival</ref> Eventually, the case of her father's death was also resolved with [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]]'s help, which helped fanning the spark of affection she was feeling for him at the time.<ref>Manga Chapter 269: Time's Up</ref>

Sato's first love interest was [[Jinpei Matsuda]], whom she only got to know briefly due to his death by the hands of a dangerous bomber. Although she denied it at first, she finally acknowledged her feelings for Takagi, which made him the outcast among the other jealous police officers who were interested in her, especially [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Shiratori]]. Nonetheless, for a very long time, anytime they were about to take their relationship to the very next step, something got in the way (mostly in the shape of Miwako's best friend, [[Yumi Miyamoto|Yumi]]), until Sato and Takagi - mostly undisturbed (thanks to the help of Conan and the Detective Boys for creating a makeshift reason for the interlopers to leave) - shared their very first kiss when Takagi was hospitalized in the course of a hard case.<ref>Manga Chapter 673: The Common Pattern</ref>Then had their second kiss (and third) when Takagi survived a bombing accident.<ref>Episode 683: The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love(Enter The Scene)</ref>

== Personality ==
Sato is considered one of the most dangerous members of the police, being not at all afraid to get tangled with dangerous men in fights, which she almost always wins. However, she does have a softer personality, in which she is very friendly with the [[Detective Boys]], and especially [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], whom she considers is a big help in difficult cases. When in action, however, Sato can be quite reckless and daring, which has earned her the title 'The Silver Witch' among car racers on Mount Fuyuna due to her driving style.<ref>Manga Chapter 663: The True Identity of the Witch</ref>

Her favorite hobbies are going to the karaoke, attending all-you-can-eat offers, and going out to eat ramen.

This case is the very beginning of the long and enduring love story between Miwako Sato and her fellow police officer, [[Wataru Takagi]].

One night, Sato and her friend [[Yumi Miyamoto]] from the traffic department have a drink together. In her drunken state, Sato unknowingly reveals to Yumi the person that she has feelings for, however, when she wakes up, she doesn't remember the exact details of what she has told her friend.

With the help from Conan, the trick and the identity of the killer are uncovered, and the case goes to an end. When all works are done, Shiratori invites Sato to have dinner with him at a restaurant that he knows but she turns down the offer, saying that French cuisine isn't her favorite.

Just as the misunderstanding earlier is about to be cleared and Takagi finally has the chance to be with Sato, a drunken [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] suddenly appears and suggests them go out for a drink with him at a bar.

=== Whistling Killer Case (Manga: [[Volume 64|670-673]]; Anime: [[The Scar that Evokes the Past|534-535]]) ===

Sato and Takagi had agreed on going out to a spa as soon as a difficult case (involving a serial killer whose cases are about to caducate) that they're working on alongside Megure, Shiratori and Matsumoto. Takagi gets very fired up and decides to work harder than usual; their seniors, however, see it as a terrible signal since officers who behave like that often end up dying in the line of duty, which greatly worries Sato. This bad omen almost becomes true when Takagi ends up being shot, with only a mahjong tile he carried in his pocket saving him from death. Sato is greatly relieved when he survives, and they finally can share a kiss.

Takagi is kidnapped by a mysterious man who misunderstands that he is [[Wataru Date]] who makes his daughter commits suicide. He is bandaged on a plank of wood and there is a bomb under it. Sato saves kidnapped Takagi from killed by a bomb put under him.

===Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9 ([[Volume 82|869-871]]; Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9|748-749]])===
[[File:748-1.png|thumb|Embarrassed Sato]]

Sato hesitates when thinking about that she's expecting but has lost. Naeko, Takagi and Yumi believe that her period is late... and since Takagi is now her lover as well as her partner, this means 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.

===Non-canon Appearances===
==== Captured in Her Eyes ([[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4]]) ====
During ''Captured in Her Eyes'', Miwako was a target of a serial killer. She thought she was safe, but when she and Ran went to the bathroom, a blackout in the hotel occurred. A gunman then came into the bathroom, and she jumped on Ran to protect her. However, she was shot several times and put into a coma. This incident caused a large deal of grief for Ran and Takagi, even going as far as to make Ran completely lose her memories. She was given by doctors a 50% chance at surviving due to one bullet stopping extremely close to her heart. Luckily, she survived.

=== Family & Friends ===
==== Wataru Takagi ====
{{main|Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato}}
[[Image:Episode 535 - Sato and Takagi kiss.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Sato and Takagi]]Miwako started to have feelings for [[Takagi]] after seeing the resemblance he has of the deceased Matsuda Jinpei. Their relationship gradually develops as the series continues.
{{clearright}}

==== Yumi Miyamoto ====
[[Image:Miwako and Yumi.png|thumb|right|150px|Miwako and Yumi chatting]]Yumi is Miwako's best friend in the headquarter. They are seen together a lot, and Yumi always teases Miwako about her relationship with Takagi. She often tries to bring the two closer together, much to the chagrin of Sato and Takagi. They have been friends for at least 10 years.

==== Inspector Megure ====
[[Image:Inspector Megure and Miwako Sato.png|thumb|right|150px|Inspector Megure with Miwako Sato]]Inspector Megure is like a father figure to Miwako as she said to Takagi in one of the episodes (although Takagi mistook it as a love interest at first).

==== Ninzaburo Shiratori ====
Although Shiratori crushes on Sato and at some point attempts to marry her, she views him as a friend. It is later revealed that the main reason Shiratori had a crush on her was because he believed her to be the "girl of destiny" who changed his life but later it turned out that said woman was [[Sumiko Kobayashi]], who bears an extreme physical similarity to Sato. Once this is revealed, Shiratori stops chasing after Sato's affections.

[[File:Satos FD.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Sato's RX-7]]
* Sato drives a [[Cars#Miwako_Sato|red series 6 Mazda (Ẽfini) RX-7]]. It used to be white, but she painted it red so it would be more visible in the fog.
* Sato has a habit of shrieking while drifting without pulling the handbrake as she feels that shrieking helps make it easier. But she finds it embarrassing, though. This habit caused the "Mountain Witch" story to happen, as people reported the the witch would drift using a white FD and scream really loud.
* Sato is a fan of [[Lupin III]] and has stated that he was her first love.
* Sato dislikes any shiny and expensive jewelry. This fact was used by Yumi to trick some of Sato's admirers to buy expensive her jewels that Yumi herself finds nice. However, Sato currently wears a ring which that Takagi bought for her, not realizing that he intended it to be an engagement ring.
* A running gag in the series is how whenever she and Takagi go on a date, they are stalked by other police detectives who have crushes on her.
* In the English Dub, during Captured In Her Eyes, a script error says that Sato died when she was shot. This is false, however, all parts of the movie say she died, until the end of the movie where it says she will survive. Why this is like this is unknown.
* Sato is bad at drawing.
* Sato, Takagi and Yumi are the only Police Officers to take Conan seriously, usually treating him as an equal.
* Sato means ''sugar'' in English.

'''{{nihongo|Kaito Kuroba|黒羽快斗|Kuroba Kaito}}''' is the main character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', and a recurring character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is the current '''[[Kaitou Kid]]''' and the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Aoko Nakamori]].

== Background ==
Kaito is a second-year student at Ekoda High School Class 2-B alongside his childhood friend [[Aoko Nakamori]], the witch [[Akako Koizumi]], and transfer student detective [[Saguru Hakuba]]. Kaito discovers [[Toichi Kuroba|his father]]'s identity as the original [[Kaitou Kid]] after eight years following his death thanks to a secret room inside his house as well as talking with his father's attendant and friend, [[Konosuke Jii]]. Wanting to pick up where Jii left off, Kaito continues to be Kaitou Kid in an effort to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|his father's murderers]] by making Kid a world-famous thief once again.

== Personality and Skills==
[[File:vlcsnap-2013-10-10-17h54m48s62.png|thumb|left|Kaito rejects Akako because of her arrogance.]]
According to Hakuba's analysis during his search for Kaitou Kid's identity, Kaito is 174 cm (5' 8.5") tall, weighs 58 kg (128 lbs), has an IQ of 400, and is blood type 'B'.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=86-87 }}</ref>

Kaito as his normal self seems to be rather popular in school although he tends to get in trouble with the ladies, particularly Aoko, for flipping up their skirts or peeking on them in the locker room. He is a compulsive trickster who loves to demonstrate his magic tricks and share them with others, and hates to see people upset. Kaito seems to be quite good at many things, including skiing,<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Let Go of Him |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref> but (much to Aoko's amusement) cannot ice skate<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=The Great Detective Appears!! |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=36 }}</ref> or play billiards.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Hustler vs. Magician |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref>

Although he hasn't demonstrated it while in full costume, Kaito has an extreme fear of fish (ichthyophobia) to the point where he freaks out upon seeing Aoko wear fish-print underwear one day.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Hustler vs. Magician |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=158 }}</ref> In OVA 10, while in the process of escaping Trap Island, a fish flops into his escape rowboat and he panics.<ref>OVA 10: Kid in Trap Island</ref>

In some episodes and chapters, it is shown that Kaito is ambidextrous. He is sometimes shown using his left hand, but his right hand is dominant for tricks that require one hand only.

== Plot overview ==
{{main|Kaito Kuroba Appearances}}

===Magic Kaito===
The day after the Kaitou Kid makes his return after an eight-year hiatus, Kaito stumbles through a trap door in his room and discovers that his father, [[Toichi Kuroba]], was the original Kaitou Kid. Kaito dons his father's costume to discover the identity of the new Kaitou Kid, revealed to be his father's old assistant [[Konosuke Jii]]. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi had been murdered eight years ago, and that he had dressed as the Kid and staged the heist in order to lure Toichi's killers.

So Kaito adopts the mantle of the Kid, having proven that he is more skilled than the aging and serious Jii. As the Kaitou Kid, Kaito stages several high-profile jewel heists with the intention of smoking out his father's killers (although he seems to be enjoying himself in the process). It isn't until the ''Blue Birthday'' heist that the murderers appear and reveal that they are searching for the doublet red-coloured gem [[Pandora]], said to shed tears of immortality during the passing of a particular comet. Upon realizing [[Magic Kaito Organization|the organization's]] aim and that his father was killed for his refusal to aid them in retrieving Pandora, Kaito vows as Kaitou Kid to find the Pandora gem first and destroy it.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Blue Birthday |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=144 }}</ref>

===Detective Conan===
Since then, he has appeared in several Detective Conan cases. [[File:Vlcsnap-2013-12-08-20h39m58s203.png|200px|thumb|right| A young Kaito Kuroba offers Yukiko Kudo a flower.]]If his target is a gem, he always holds it up to the moonlight, presumably to check if it's the Pandora gem, before returning it, even if Conan seemingly has him cornered.

In other instances, Kid has staged heists when people such as [[Jirokichi Suzuki]] have called him out, or when criminals have used the Kaitou Kid's name to deflect blame from themselves, as in the Sunset Mansion case or the Seiran case. He also appeared in the Ryoma case to expose several counterfeiters who were pretending to possess items that another thief called the Phantom Lady had stolen years ago. At that time, Kid implied that he may be a family relation of the 'Phantom Lady'.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=70 |chapter=74 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo }}</ref>

A young Kaito also appeared in a flashback during which Conan recalled a riddle that he and Ran had tried to solve when they were in first grade. It turned out that the 'riddler' had been the original Kaitou Kid, [[Toichi Kuroba]], who seemed to be a friend of [[Yusaku Kudo]].

In chapter 824, Kid had played a significant role in main Detective Conan plot by disguising as Sherry under Conan's request. Their plan successfully tricked the Black Organization into believing she is dead.

In [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]], it's revealed that Kaito knew Conan's real identity of Shinichi Kudo. He helped Conan who was thrown out of the airship and they worked together to get back. Kaito has disguised himself as Shinichi three times, in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]], in [[Magician of the Silver Sky]], and in [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]] which led Sato and Takagi to suspect that Shinichi was Kaitou Kid. The two later share their suspicion with Heiji to which he responded with an 'Are you kidding me?' face.

=== Family & Friends ===
[[Image:vlcsnap-2013-09-21-03h04m55s93.png|250px|thumb|right|Kaito and Aoko.]]
==== Aoko Nakamori ====
{{main|Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori}}
Kaito and [[Aoko Nakamori]] have been best friends since they were little and first met at the clock tower.<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/The_Gathering_of_the_Detectives!_Shinichi_Kudo_vs._Kaitou_Kid "Episode 219: The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid"]</ref> They are portrayed as a similar pairing to [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Ran Mouri]] (including how the characters are drawn) and [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Kazuha Toyama]], except much sillier. Kaito often teases Aoko by flipping her skirt. However, it has been seen that Kaito is quite protective of Aoko and doesn't appear to want her to go on a date with [[Saguru Hakuba]]. Aoko was somewhat suspicious that Kaito was actually Kaitou Kid, and in order to prove his innocence, she brought him along to a movie when a heist had been scheduled. She handcuffed him to the seat, but Kaito managed to escape and pull off the heist, thus veering Aoko's suspicions away from him. The two appear to have feelings for each other, but neither has admitted it as of yet.

In the last chapter of ''[[Yaiba]]'' a scene set after a three years timeskip has [[Keiko Momoi]] telling [[Sayaka Mine]] that Kuroba and Nakamori are a couple now, while [[List of minor Magic Kaito characters#Notable minor characters|Keiko's friend]] confirms having seen them together.

==== Akako Koizumi ====
[[File:Displeased_with_Akako.png|thumb|right|250px|Kaito wishes he was with Aoko instead.]]
Since [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]]'s first appearance in Volume 1, she's attempted to get Kaito to fall head over heels for her using whatever means necessary, including using a voodoo doll and hurting him in the process. Akako's obsession with Kaito comes from Kaitou Kid, whom she realizes is Kaito, being the only man on Earth able to resist her. Despite Akako injuring Kaito during their first confrontation, Kaito as Kid behaves like a complete gentleman and encourages Akako to be herself in order to get someone to like her instead of forcing them through witchcraft.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=1 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-05-15 |isbn=4-09-122081-9 |chapter=The Scarlet Temptress |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 180}}</ref> Akako grows to have great concern for Kaito as evidenced by her warning Kaito<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122083-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 93-95}}</ref> against going to a heist and later assisting Kaitou Kid to escape safely from the heist that she had foreseen him being captured at.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122083-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 100-103}}</ref> In Volume 2, Akako openly states she likes Kaito in front of Aoko.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Let Go of Him |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 11}}</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Saguru Hakuba ====
[[File:2013_7_6_19_58_14.png|thumb|right]]
The relationship between [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]] and Kaito is a rather tense one; since Hakuba convinced himself early on that Kaito was instead Kid, and during the first few volumes he's constantly throwing out offhand comments that show his suspicion. However, later on in the manga, we have a small scene where Hakuba calls Kaito from Paris in order to give him some information on 'Chat Noir', a dangerous, fellow gem thief trying to outshine Kid.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=4 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Golden Eye Part 1 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 18}}</ref> Though Kaito continues to vehemently deny being Kid, Hakuba gives him the information anyways, ending the conversation with, "Do your best at least. I don't want to see you lose to anyone before I capture you myself". Whether or not that was his actual motive, or if he was merely concerned for Kaito's well being, is unknown.

=== Others ===
==== Conan Edogawa ====
{{Main|Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba}}
[[File:名侦探柯南-515-DVD003348.jpg|thumb|right]]
In the manga, Kid and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] are rivals. Ever since Kaito met Conan, Kaito always seems to be anticipating Conan's appearance at his heists. Conan makes the heists more interesting for Kaito, while Conan views Kaito's heists as entertainment.

Before being shrunk, Shinichi had encountered Kaitou Kid once during the Clock Tower heist, though they did not meet face-to-face. In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi had become Conan, Kid disguised himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki Black Star pearl. When Conan cornered him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid suggested that he'd stolen all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ended up being a bluff, Conan was shocked and infuriated. In subsequent encounters between Kid and Conan, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid.

Since then, Conan is usually a serious threat to Kid's plans and stops Kid often enough from escaping with the jewel that Conan has gained reputation in the press as Kid's "natural enemy". In several instances Conan appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence; knowing Kid is close by often causes Conan to behave far more frenetically. Appropriately, Kid seems to find Conan dangerous enough to warrant specific measures to keep the boy distracted. Conan does not seem to like Kid, saying once "He's only a thief that uses magic".<ref>Anime Episode 515: Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic</ref> However, if necessary, the two can put their rivalry aside (for a little while) and work together.<ref>[[Kaitou Kid and the Four Masterpieces]]</ref> Conan has something of a gentleman's agreement with Kaitou Kid that he won't look for the thief outside of heists. In several instances, beginning with the "Big Adventure in the Eccentric Residence" case, when Kid does Conan/Shinichi a favor, such as saving Genta's life in the aforementioned case, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape mostly unhindered. This exchange of favors can sometimes become a bit unbalanced; Conan was perfectly willing to force Kaitou Kid against his will into facing a member of the [[Black Organization]] at gunpoint in a carriage filled with explosives.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"</ref>

In the movies, Kid becomes aware that Conan is Shinichi after he once overheard Conan talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] and displaying too much criminal knowledge for a 7-year-old.<ref>Movie 03: ''[[The Last Wizard of the Century]]''</ref> As a result, he ends up using Shinichi's identity to either further his own goals and challenge Conan at the same time, or to pay back a favor Conan has done him. Since movies cannot be considered [[canon]], it's unclear whether Kid knows Conan is Shinichi in the official manga. There is also some speculations on Conan figuring out that Kid isn't just stealing randomly. At the end of the OVA 4: Conan, Kid, and the Crystal Mother, Conan had turned with a serious face when he remembered a phrase that Kid had said, "Next time, I'll help myself to the Jewel of Destiny." In movie 14, Conan asked for Kid to disguise as him for a while.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
Kaito and [[Heiji Hattori]] have never canonically met, although Heiji faced up against the Kid in Movie 3, and interacted with a disguised Kaito during Movie 10. They were also involved in the same cases in OVA 6 and Movie 14, but never directly interacted.

==== Lupin III ====
In [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]], while they never directly meet face-to-face with each other, Kaitou Kid and [[Lupin III]] had made their first encounter in the beginning of the film. Kaito Kuroba, while being in his citizen guise, was among the many people present to see the heists of Lupin, who was masquerading as Kaitou Kid, with a valuable diamond. Fujiko Mine claimed if Lupin was unable to save her, by stealing the Cherry Sapphire, she can always ask Kaitou Kid for help. By the end of the film where Lupin was in Japan, in contrary to how Conan had thought he had left, Lupin had tried to steal another valuable jewel only to find it already to be stolen and replaced by a small note left by Kaitou Kid; the act was most likely to return the favor for Lupin’s temporary identity theft, for using Kid’s identity, with the diamond heist. As Lupin was being chased, by [[Inspector Zenigata]] who didn’t believe Lupin didn’t steal the jewel, he had declared his rivalry with Kaitou Kid.

[[image:Kaito Lupin.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Kaito Lupin]]
* A prototype version of Kaito appears in Aoyama's "{{nihongo|Nonchalant Lupin|さりげなくルパン|Sarigenaku Rupan}}" short story. In this version, Kaito is named {{nihongo|Kaito Lupin|流犯快斗|Rupan Kaito}}.
* The name 'Kuroba' is a transliteration of 'clover.' A four-leaf clover also appears on the tag of Kid's monocle.
* Gosho Aoyama gave Kaito the same height and weight measurements that he had in 1990<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito Treasured Edition |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=2011-11-21 |isbn=978-4-09-941727-7 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=197 "怪盗キッドの身長１７４ｃｍ、体重５８ｋｇってーのは、もちろんこの当時のオレの身長と体重！"}}</ref>, as well as his own blood type.
* Kaito and Gosho Aoyama also have the same birthday, June 21.<ref name= birthday/>
* Kaito, along with [[Shinichi Kudo]], [[Heiji Hattori]], and [[Saguru Hakuba]], are sometimes referred to as 'The Four Geniuses' or 'The Gosho Boys' by fans.
* In both the Japanese and English dub, Kaito shares the same voice actor as that of Shinichi Kudo. Kaito and Shinichi already resemble each other so closely that in the Black Star case, Ran sees Kaito in the street and mistakes him for Shinichi. In Movie 8, Kaito disguises himself as Shinichi and without the use of a mask succeeds in completely fooling everyone except for Ran.
* In Spanish, he doesn't share his voice with Shinichi, but with Hattori. However, this isn't much of a problem since he can perfectly mimic voices.
* Although Kaito's and Shinichi's teenaged-selves share the same voice actor, Kappei Yamaguchi, two different voice actors portray them as children: young Kaito is still voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, while Conan and young Shinichi are voiced by [[Minami Takayama]].

Jewel-chanXOXO: /* In other languages */

{{nihongo|'''Detective Conan'''|名探偵コナン|Meitantei Konan|lit. Great Detective Conan}} is a Japanese detective [[manga]] series written and illustrated by [[Gosho Aoyama]]. It has been serialized in the Japanese manga anthology ''[[Magazines#Weekly Shōnen Sunday|Weekly Shōnen Sunday]]'' since 1994 and will be collected in eighty-seven [[Glossary|Tankōbon]] volumes by August 18th, 2015.

The manga has been adapted into an anime series by the animation studio [[Studios#TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsha]], directed by [[Kenji Kodama]] (episode 1 to 252), [[Yasuichiro Yamamoto]] (episode 110 to 332, 667 to 677, 681 to the last episode to date), [[Masato Sato]] (episode 318 to 504), [[Koujin Ochi]] (505 to 666, and 678 to 680), and is broadcast in Japan on [[TV Networks#Nippon Television Network Corporation|Nippon Television]], [[TV Networks#Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation|Yomiuri TV]] and [[TV Networks#Animax|Animax]]. The series debuted on January 8th, 1996 and will have broadcast 784 episodes by July 1th, 2015. The series has seen high levels of popularity in both manga and anime formats in Japan since its reception, and has also been adapted into nineteen [[Glossary|Golden Week]] movies, with the first released on April 17th, 1997 and since then followed with a movie released each year, always in the month of April. Ten of the movies held a top 10 box office position in the year they were screened. In addition, five [[OVAs#Magic_Files|Magic Files]] related to the movies and twelve [[OVAs|Original Video Animations]] have been released.

==Story summary==
[[File:Conan Edogawa Profile.jpg|thumb|125px|Conan Edogawa]]
The story follows the adventures of [[Shinichi Kudo]] (also known as Jimmy Kudo in Case Closed), a young detective prodigy who was inadvertently shrunk into a child's body due to a [[APTX 4869|poison]] he was force-fed by members of a [[Black Organization|criminal syndicate]]. Neighbor and family friend [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] strongly suggested Shinichi hide his identity to prevent them from killing him and the people he cares about, so Shinichi takes the name [[Conan Edogawa]]. He goes to live with his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], and tries to use Kogoro's detective agency as a way to find the people who shrank him—without letting Ran figure out who he really is.

S. California's UTB, United Television Broadcasting's free digital television station began to re-broadcast already dubbed Case Closed episodes on August 21st, 2011. The next two-episode block was scheduled for Saturday, August 27th, followed by two more episodes on Sunday, August 28th. The episodes were broadcasted at 6:30 a.m and repeated at 10:30 a.m the same day. A one-episode block also aired at 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays as well.

Incidentally, the catchphrase for [[Masumi Sera]] is 'Case Closed' (whether it's intended as a reference or coincidental is unspecified).

As of 2013, only one Case Closed branded video game was released, which was [[Detective Conan: The Mirage of Remembrance|Case Closed: The Mirapolis Investigation]], which was a Nintendo Wii exclusive title and released only in Japan and Europe. It features the English voice cast from the Anime for the English version, and has minor changes in script. It is so far the only English DC Game.

As of April 2013, Funimation was renewed the Case Closed license "For Future Use". Additionally on April 2nd 2013, Funimation announced Starting April 16th 2013 seasons 1-5 would be made available digitally through many online vendors, starting with iTunes, Playstation Network and Xbox Live. Season 1 will be available April 16th, season 2 and 3 in May, and Season 4 and 5 in June. Movie release dates have not been announced, however a hint shown in the description hints at a possible new season. Each episode will be 99 cents a piece.

==Critical reception==

The series has been well received in Japan, with the anime adaptation ranking in the top twenty in [[Magazines#Animage|Animage]]'s polls between 1996 until 2000, where it dropped below the top twenty. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, Detective Conan often ranked the top six. It has even been used as a mascot to promote citizens to follow the law. The English adaption has not been as equally popular as in Japan, and has been criticized for the name changes.

The manga is a huge success and it is continued to be published. It won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category in 2000. Some of its volumes appear on the lists of best-selling manga.

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

Although popular in many other countries, Case Closed was not as successful in the US, most likely due to poor advertising, name changes, and script changes. Due to this, the "Case Closed" version was cancelled at only 130 episodes. However, the manga is still released by VIZ media.

== Demographic ==

Even though Detective Conan is a [[Glossary#Shōnen|Shōnen]], its audience is composed of a substantial proportion of female viewers and readers. The series also seems to attract all ages.

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

{{nihongo|'''Kogoro Mouri'''|毛利小五郎|''Mōri Kogorō''}} is the tritagonist of the [[manga]] and [[anime]]. He is a private detective and the father of [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Young Kogoro in school]]
Kogoro is a private investigator,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> but he prefers to laze around his office all day unless his client is a beautiful woman. Kogoro attended Teitan High School, the same high school as [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], along with [[Eri Kisaki]], [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], and the actress Ruri Ujo.<ref>[[Volume 37]]</ref> He then graduated from Beika University, where he was the ace of the Judo team, though he was highly vulnerable to stage fright.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 086 - The Two Benkei Standing Deaths|Volume 9, File 86: "The Two Benkei Standing Deaths"]]</ref>

Some time after graduating, Kogoro became a police officer. He worked in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Division One with [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], but while an excellent marksman he was not a particularly good investigator. He also worked for some time under [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division as well. While Movie 2 strongly suggests that Kogoro left the police force because of the incident where he gave his wife, [[Eri Kisaki]], a bullet graze on the leg to save her from a hostage situation, his reasons for leaving the force have not been confirmed in the manga. <ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> Around the time Kogoro left the police force, Eri also moved out, though they have never officially divorced despite ten years having passed.<ref name="m2" /> Their daughter, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], keeps trying to get them back together, but she has yet to succeed. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still has feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet,<ref>[[Volume 17]]</ref> though she still has feelings for him as well. These are expressed mainly through jealousy when Kogoro's attention is caught by other attractive women in the vicinity, which occurs on a regular basis.

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was forced to adopt the identity of [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]] concluded that Shinichi couldn't openly continue investigating the [[Black Organization]] without attracting undue attention. To maintain his cover, Agasa suggested Shinichi to move in with Kogoro and use him as a front. During a case Kogoro took soon after, he reached the wrong conclusion, and Conan knocked him out with an ashtray before he could accuse an innocent person. Kogoro conveniently falls unconscious in a reclining pose, and Conan uses his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice Changer]] to imitate Kogoro's voice, presenting his conclusions and the identity of the true murderer.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9: An Unfortunate Misunderstanding]]</ref> After a few more cases occur in this fashion (though Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] instead of an ashtray), Kogoro receives the title "Sleeping Kogoro" and a public reputation as a master detective.<ref>[[Volume_4#File_032_-_The_Pen_That_Cannot_Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref>. In the few instances where Kogoro remains awake for some reason, Conan still does the main detective work and uses Kogoro as his official mouth-piece by drawing Kogoro's attentions to important clues he has uncovered.

In the Japanese version, due to his name Kogoro Mouri he is often mistaken for the famous astronaut [[wikipedia:Mamoru Mohri|Mamoru Mohri]] when he introduces himself, because they both are in the news frequently, of Japanese decent, and have the same last name. In the English version, when Kogoro introduces himself he is often mistaken for a famous astronaut as well, possibly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Moore Patrick Moore].

In the US version, Kogoro Mouri says that he is forty-three, as opposed to being thirty-eight in the Japanese version. It is unknown if Eri's age remains the same, since they attended school together. If not, if it will affect the ''Princess Pageant'' storyline that occurred twenty years ago, making her in her twenties when she participated instead of a teenager.

==Personality==
[[File:Kogoro's personality.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Kogoro in the morning.]]
[[Image:Kogoro and Yoko Okino.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kogoro showboating in front of [[Yoko Okino]].]]
[[File:701_5.png|thumb|250px|Kogoro as "Poirot" Mouri|link=The Jet-Black Mystery Train]]

Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his own importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his own clients. On cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor changes and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does. <ref>[[Volume 37#File 376 - Kogoro's Choice 3|Volume 37, File 376: Kogoro's Choice 3]]</ref>

Kogoro easily becomes infatuated with beautiful women. His favorite celebrity is pop idol [[Yoko Okino]], and he never misses (or tries not to miss) her television shows.<ref>[[Volume 3#File 025 - The Dream That Will Not Come True|Volume 3, File 25: "The Dream That Will Not Come True"]]</ref><ref>Such behaviors can be seen consistently from [[Volume 1#File 006 - From Third-Rate to Great Detective|Volume 1, File 6: From Third-Rate to Great Detective]] to [[Volume 52#File 541 - Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Volume 52, File 541: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]].</ref> He also keeps a large collection of Yoko related goods and his office and bedroom have Yoko posters. Because of his flirtatious behavior around attractive women, he often embarrasses Ran, and while it is not stated as the reason why Eri left him, it is one of the primary reasons why she hasn't come back.

While never outright called an alcoholic, Kogoro has a tendency to get intoxicated and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi/Conan]] often makes sarcastic remarks about him spending money on alcohol. In the anime, particularly in early episodes, his office is littered with empty beer cans,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> and he keeps a well-stocked liquor shelf. Kogoro is also a heavy smoker, and is usually seen with a cigarette in his mouth. Other hobbies include watching his favorite idol star, [[Yoko Okino]], betting on horse races, playing mahjong (which he tends to lose) and playing or watching baseball (he even plays in his neighborhood's team).

In the movies, Kogoro suffers from a mild acrophobia (fear of heights) and is quite uncomfortable in high settings where he has the chance to see how high up he is. He does not have this fear in the manga.

== Appearance ==
Kogoro is a fairly tall and fit man (especially for the amount of beer he drinks). He has high cheekbones, a short mustache, and short black hair. His hair is constantly slicked back with two loose locks hanging across his forehead. Ten years ago, when Kogoro was still on the police force, he was clean shaven.<ref>Manga Volume 55, File 7, page 6: "Dawn"</ref> While on cases Kogoro usually wears a muted blue or grey suit and necktie, and just a collared shirt when being more casual. If he has been drinking heavily, he often ties his necktie around his forehead like a bandana. He seems to be reasonably fit, as he is capable of doing an [[#Judo|Ippon seoi-nage]]. Kogoro is right handed.<ref>Manga Volume 51, File 8, page 3: "Goroo is Goro?!" Kogoro writing with his right hand</ref> Kogoro also smokes, although over the course of Detective Conan's run he has gradually been depicted smoking less often.

== Abilities ==
=== Detective skills ===
:''See also: [[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]'' 
Throughout most of the series, Kogoro is depicted as a fairly incompetent (or just plain lazy) detective, often missing clues and jumping to the wrong conclusions, though several of these conclusions are shared by other people on the scene. However, Kogoro does follow the proper police procedures, asks questions, and (with a little help from Conan) follows leads quite well. Despite his ineptness, he had been a police officer under [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and in also the arson department ten years prior to the start of the series<ref name="m2" /> He is shown to have left the police force after events addressed in the second movie, ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]''.<ref name="m2" />[[File:Kogoro is stunned.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Kogoro's characteristic strange expression when Conan uses the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]]]]

Thanks to Conan's undercover help in solving numerous cases, Kogoro's reputation as a detective grows quickly.<ref>[[Volume_4#File_032_-_The_Pen_That_Cannot_Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref> He hardly remembers the solutions of any cases because Conan knocks him out with tranquillizer darts before solving the case. However, Kogoro never seems to wonder about this fact and often boasts about his merits. Because of this, he has become nicknamed the '''{{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}}'''. [[Jugo Yokomizo]] often mistakenly calls him '''{{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|Kemuri no Kogorou}}''' because of his heavy smoking habits. Because of his (or rather, Conan's) tendency to coincidentally come across a crime scene, Inspector Megure has referred to Kogoro as a '''shinigami''' (death god).

In several stories, Kogoro demonstrates the ability to solve crimes without (or with little) help from Conan, especially when people he knows or cares about are involved; it appears that, while he can connect the dots just fine, he can't actually find them as quickly as Conan does. The first of these events takes place during a trip to a hot spring, where one of his old college friends is murdered. Kogoro is actually so disturbed and determined to find the killer on his own that Conan cannot bring himself to drug him, limiting himself to surreptitiously drawing attention to the necessary clues.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 084 - Kogoro's Class Reunion|Volume 9, Files 84-86: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> Despite his frequent moronic analyses, Kogoro is actually pretty smart when he applies himself. He is even able to completely solve a crime on his own in the ninth movie, ''[[Strategy Above the Depths]]'', due to the fact that the culprit Minako resembles Eri, and Conan applauds him mentally for his success. (For a more detailed list of the cases he has—more or less—solved on his own, see '''''[[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]''''').

=== Judo ===
Kogoro is an expert in Judo. He was on the Judo team while he was at Beika University. Although he was the strongest on the team and can still toss large men with ease, he lost all the time at tournaments because he got excited and his strength was used against him. His trademark maneuver is the [http://www.judoinfo.com/images/animations/blue/ipponseoi.htm Ippon seoi-nage] (one-arm shoulder throw), which he often uses to incapacitate escaping suspects. He appears to also be a capable teacher in the art, having taught both Eri and Ran.

=== Shooting ===
In volume 11, chapter 2, and in its anime adaptation (episode 31), Kogoro says that even though he is a former policeman he is not very skilled at using guns, while in the non-[[canon]] [[Movie 2]], Kogoro was an excellent shot with a handgun, being able to hit targets at great distance with an impressive level of accuracy. However, Aoyama stated in the Super Digest Book 40+ that Kogoro's excellent shooting skills shown in movie 2 were now officially canon.
{{clearleft}}

== Appellations ==
Kogoro earned the nickname {{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorō}} because of his trademark technique of solving cases while looking like he is asleep. Many characters unfamiliar with him call him by this nickname when they realize who he is.

== Plot overview ==
=== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|File 2-5]]; Anime: [[Episode 2]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro takes the credit.png|220px|thumb|right|Kogoro happily takes the credits for "solving" the case.]]
This is Kogoro Mouri’s first depicted case in the series,<ref>Even though this is the first case of Kogoro in [[Detective Conan]], it is not his first case ever, since he has been a private detective since before the current timeline started.</ref> after [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|the event]] where [[Shinichi]] was turned into a child by the [[Black Organization]]. He is requested by phone to find Akiko Tani, who is suspected to have been kidnapped by “a large man dressed in black”. Kogoro then immediately calls a taxi to go to the Tani mansion in Yayoi, without knowing that [[Ran|his daughter]] and [[Conan|a strange kid]] has already jumped in with him. He expresses his excitement about the case, calling himself “Great Detective”, but only to be sarcastically addressed as “Confused Detective” by the two instead.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 2, Page 28]]; the two characters 名 (renowned) and 迷 (confused) have the same pronunciation (mei) and can be used as a pun.</ref> Kogoro becomes furious and questions Ran about the identity of the strange kid, then intends to get rid of them from the car. He is unable to do so however, as they are on a highway.

When the three arrive at the Tani household, Kogoro questions some of the household members about the details of the kidnapping. However, Conan’s continuous interference gets on his nerves, even to the point that he wants to “kill” the boy after solving the case.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 3, Page 10]]. However, it was most likely just an exaggerated type of expression rather than his true desire of killing Conan.</ref> Later, with help from Conan’s hints, Kogoro is able to come to the conclusion that the house butler is behind the kidnapping. However, Akiko Tani has already been abducted in truth by someone else. After the case is over, it is revealed that the first kidnapping was just a set-up by the girl with the help from the butler, while the second one was by mere chance. Kogoro then laughs in satisfaction and takes all the credits for himself while Conan is actually the one to release the dog and locate Akiko. At the end, Kogoro finally accepts Conan and adopts him, feeling that with the boy around, “he will solve the cases smoothly as silk”.<ref>[[Volume 1| Volume 1, File 5, Page 16]]</ref> With this statement, Kogoro is, ironically, correct.

=== Bloody Idol Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|File 6-9]]; Anime: [[Episode 3]]) ===
[[File:KogoroRose.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro holding a rose, trying to act "charming" in front of Yoko.]]
This case marks the very first appearance of '''“Sleeping Kogoro”'''. [[Conan]] wakes up in the morning and finds a slothful Kogoro drinking beer and watching television shows, including the musical performance of his idol star, [[Yoko Okino]]. [[Agasa]] advises Conan to build Kogoro into a great detective, in order to find cases related to the [[Black Organization]], but Conan doubts if that is even possible given Kogoro's laziness.

Busying enjoying one of [[Yoko Okino]]’s shows, Kogoro tells a new client to come back the next day. However, after discovering that his client is none other than Yoko herself, he rushes to his room and cleans up into an impeccable suit. Yoko explains she is being stalked, and agreed to investigate her apartment secretly (after asking for her personal information and an autograph). However, to everyone's shock, when they arrive at the apartment there is a dead body inside. Kogoro orders them to call the Police and is furious when Yoko’s manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, tries to dissuade him in order to protect Yoko from the media. When Inspector [[Megure]] arrives, he gets depressed about his old subordinate’s appearance, thinking of him as the one who always makes situation turns into a “nightmare”.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 7, Page 5]]</ref>

Conan's investigations once again annoy Kogoro while Kogoro tries to defend Yoko despite the apparent evidence that she committed the murder. He repeatedly accuses Eiichi of being the murderer, as he has a copied key, though there's no proof of either person's guilt or innocence. He switches suspicions to fellow idol Yuko Ikezawa after Yuko's earring is discovered in the apartment. When Yuko is trapped into admitting she was the the "stalker" but still denies being the murderer, he switches back to accusing Eiichi. Realizing Kogoro’s mistake, Conan kicks an ash-tray at his head, knocking him unconscious. He uses the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] that [[Agasa]] has given to him earlier to imitate Kogoro’s voice, and points out that the case is in fact a suicide. Kogoro wakes up after the case is solved when the cigarette in his hand starts to burn his fingers. From then on, Conan has used Kogoro as a puppet mouthpiece for solving cases, with the secondary purpose of turning the man into a famous detective.

=== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|File 10-12]]; Anime: [[Episode 38]])===
[[File:Kogoro suspects Conan.png|thumb|220px|right|Kogoro is suspicious about Conan's identity.]]
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]]'s identity for the first time in this case. When talking to the boy, Kogoro suddenly feels like he has seen Conan from somewhere before. He thinks that it might have been around the time when Ran was still in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 010]]</ref> Later, when Kogoro is investigating the death of a man whom he has been hired to observe for three days, Conan provides a hint by pointing out that every picture of the suspect taken during the supposed time of the murder has clocks in them, which helps Kogoro figure out that they must have intentionally been taken that way in order to make people clearly see the "alibi". Kogoro immediately finds it strange that whenever it seems like he has been stuck, Conan always gives him some kind of clue, just like in the previous cases. He, for the first time, notices that Conan is not an ordinary child and begins to wonder who the boy is. However, after Conan purposefully messes up with other photos, Kogoro completely loses his suspicions, thinking: "A brat is a brat after all..."<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 12]]</ref>

=== Masami Hirota Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|File 13-16]]; Anime: [[Episode 128]])===
This is Kogoro's first direct encounter with a member from the [[Black Organization]], though he is unaware of it at the time.

=== Museum Owner Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 4|File 30-32]]; Anime: [[Episode 8]]) ===
This case marks Kogoro Mouri's first fame as a private detective.

[[File:Volume 4 File 032.jpg|220px|thumb|left|Kogoro's first fame.]]
[[Ran]] forces Kogoro and Conan to go to a medieval-themed art museum exhibit, because she heard a rumor about a knight armor that moves by itself at night. The three of them browse the museum, though Kogoro and Conan lack enthusiasm. However, when they walk into a gallery called the "Room of Hell", Ran discovers the corpse of the museum's new owner, Manaka, been brutally slashed and impaled on a sword. After the police arrive, Kogoro watches the security camera recording of the murder with them, showing that the culprit had been waiting for Manaka inside the exhibition room inside a knight's suit of armor. The armor both hid the murderer's identity and mirrored a painting in the gallery called "Divine Punishment" that depicts a knight having gruesomely killed a monster. Kogoro recalls the fact that the entrance to the "Room of Hell" was blocked during the time of the murder, indicating that the culprit must have been among the museum staff, as they know the museum and could access the equipment. With Conan's help, the police discover a dying message inside Manaka's hand. The crumpled note has the name "Kubota" written on it.

With this piece of evidence and some further discoveries, Kogoro and the police accuse Kubota of being the culprit. However, Conan is suspicious of the simplicity and of Manaka's behavior on the video while writing the note. Conan realizes that Kubota was framed by someone with a great love of art who could order Kubota into doing a job alone: the museum curator, Ochiai. Ochiai prepared the note beforehand and gave Manaka a pen without ink. Conan tricks Ochiai into revealing that he switched the pen found with Manaka with the one in his pocket, and Ochiai confesses to the crime. At the end of the case, Kogoro is shown reading a newspaper article that features him. He is proud of himself for "solving" the murder case, and is happy that he has become an "instant celebrity".

=== Kogoro's Class Reunion (Manga: [[Volume 9|File 84-86]]; Anime: [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|Episode 27-28]]) ===
[[File:Angry Kogoro.png|right|thumb|220px|Kogoro is furious because the murderer is one of his friends.]]
Kogoro brings [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are [[Jun Omura]], model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 3]]</ref> Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 11]]</ref>

[[File:Kogoro KOs Kazushi.png|left|thumb|220px|Kogoro knocks out Kazushi with Judo.]]
Much later in the evening, when everyone gets back to the inn from the fireworks location (even though most of them got lost, they find out that Yumi is still sleeping, and decide to wake her up. Much to their surprise, the moment they walk into Yumi's room, she has already been shot. Kogoro, together with Kazushi, take the role in investigating her death before the polive arrive. Using professional techniques, they conclude that Yumi has been dead since 7 hours ago, when they all went to the ping-pong room. Just as usual, Kogoro becomes furious at Conan's interference, despite the boy's hints, and claims that she has committed suicide. However, right after Conan intentionally asks him how Yumi was shot, he rushes to her body and finds out that there are no burn mark around the wound, which wouldn't make sense if it was a suicide. Kogoro then comes to the conclusion that his friend was actually murdered.

Suspecting that Jun Omura is hiding something, Kogoro interrogates him and learns that he saw Yumi after 5 PM, when she was supposed to have died. Even though on the outside, Kogoro keeps saying that the killer was some intruder, deep inside he knows for sure that the culprit must have been among his best friends, since outsiders wouldn't bother faking the crime scene. When being questioned by Conan, Kogoro angrily punches at a house-stake, yelling that he will not forgive the culprit, and determines to "expose them with no question, no matter what".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 85]]. In the anime version, he punched the wall.</ref>

[[File:Cheerful Kogoro.png|right|thumb|220px|Kogoro has got his "spirit" back.]]
Seeing Kogoro's determination, despite having found out the truth behind the murder, Conan decides not to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] this time, and chooses to give Kogoro clues so he can solve the case by himself. With Conan's helps, Kogoro is able to figure out that the culprit is Kazushi Nakamichi. Yumi was actually killed after playing ping-pong with Kazushi after 6 PM, that way, her muscle would harden much faster than usual. Another evidence was when Kazushi knew for sure that she had been dead the moment they discovered her corpse. When Kazushi confesses and says that she was a demon who was destroying his life, Kogoro sarcastically asks him who the real demon is. Kazushi angrily grabs his yukata, only to be thrown by Kogoro, who thinks that he doesn't want to understand the feeling of a killer.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 16]]</ref> It is then revealed that Kogoro is the "strongest person" whom Kazushi was talking about earlier. He compliments Kogoro, saying he is still as strong as ever. However, Kogoro answers that Kazushi is actually the one who got weaker in both strength and mind.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 17]]</ref>

The case ends with Kogoro staring sadly out of the window because of his friends' story, but his "spirit" immediately revives after seeing a girl's pink underwear.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 18]]</ref>


=== TV Station Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 11|File 102-104]]; Anime: [[Episode 31]]) ===
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]] for the second time in this case.

Kogoro is invited to attend a live television show as a guest star. However, a murder occurs at the studio. After finding out all the evidence, Conan lures Kogoro to a separate room with the lie that [[Yoko Okino]] is in there. Just as usual, he decides to tranquilize Kogoro and use the man to solve the case. When Kogoro wakes up, he begins to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He is also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tries to pull him outside, he always falls asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabs the boy's suit jacket and wants to "clear things up". Luckily for Conan, Yoko Okino appears for real and Kogoro completely loses his suspicions.

=== Game Convention Case (Manga: [[Volume 12|File 114-116]]; Anime: [[Episode 54]])===
Kogoro's fame has reached the point that a video game was developed with him as the main character. Though Conan encounters someone from the [[Black Organization]], Kogoro is only involved with investigating the man's death.



=== Scuba Diving Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|File 163-165]]; Anime: [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro Eri beach.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro encounters Eri at Izu.]]
Kogoro, [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] vacation at a beach in Izu. When Ran asks her father to look at her new swimsuit, he tells her to keep quiet because it will be harder for him to flirt with women once they know that he's together with her. Suddenly, Kogoro notices a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing right next to them and excitedly asks if she needs any sun cream. To his surprise, when the woman turns around, he finds out that it is none other than [[Eri Kisaki|his wife]]. Kogoro and Eri soon realize that the coincidental encounter was actually set up by Ran in an attempt to get them back together. They react poorly to being manipulated and mock each other until Kogoro leaves to use the toilet. Ran starts to worry after Kogoro is gone for some time, but Eri predicts that Kogoro stopped to flirt with other women. When Kogoro comes back, he is indeed shown with two young girls, Kiwako Toda and Harumi Matsuzaki. The situation worsens when Eri notices traces of sand on Kogoro's legs, and assumes he must have been kneeling while applying sun scream to those girls at the beach, then brought them back to show off to her. However, Conan suspects that Kogoro actually went searching for Eri's lost wedding ring until Kogoro’s goofiness makes Conan dismiss the idea.

[[File:Kogoro Eri giving cards.jpg|thumb|220px|The relationship between the two is still very tense despite Ran's efforts.]]
Later, with the invitation from the university students, the Mouri family have lunch together at a seaside restaurant. When Ran once again attempts to alleviate the tense relationship between Kogoro and Eri by commenting that Kiwako Toda and her boyfriend Masahiko Matsuzaki are childhood friends like they were, Kogoro sarcastically tells them that many couples have suffered in marriage for loving a friend they’ve known since childhood. He and Eri even give the young couple their business cards and recommend the two to seek them in case “he suspects that his wife is cheating” or because “they plan to divorce and she wants to get a lot of alimony from her husband”.

[[File:Kogoro returns ring.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro returns the ring back to Eri.]]
After Kiwako Toda goes diving with Ran and gets bitten by a sea snake, Ran is asked to identify it. Kogoro compliments his daughter for having good sense of observation, but Eri takes advantage of the topic and comments that she is completely different from “a certain someone who still hasn’t even noticed that his wife’s finger is empty”. However, Kogoro acts as if he doesn’t understand Eri’s hint. Later, as Kogoro is about to drive Kiwako’s friends to the hospital, Eri decides to drop Ran and Conan off there and then goes home right away. However, Kogoro informs her with a serious expression that he has something to tell her after the case is resolved. At the hospital, when Eri is about to leave after seeing Kogoro to some girls, Conan asks a nurse to call Eri and Harumi Matsuzaki and tells them to go to an office to see Kogoro. He then immediately lures Kogoro into becoming "Sleeping Kogoro" and reveals that the culprit is none other than Harumi. Conan also adds that Eri didn't purposely remove the wedding ring in order to attract Kogoro’s attention. After the case is solved, it is revealed that Kogoro did indeed go search for the wedding ring, which explains the sand traces on his legs, as he knelt on the sand to do so. Kogoro takes the ring out of his pocket and throws it to Eri. He says that he figured it out because Eri was drying her hair with her glasses on; normally no one would do that unless they’re trying to find something on the ground. He also assumes that Eri intentionally dropped her ring and tried to make him see that by using her left hand to hold the cup and continuously waving it around. Just as their relationship looks to be improved by this act, Kogoro completely ruins the moment by showing off with the female nurses, which enrages Eri and she leaves right after.

=== Murderer Kogoro Mouri Case (Manga: [[Volume 27|File 264-266]]; Anime: [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro at the bar.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Kogoro is drunken at the bar.]]
Kogoro encounters his wife Eri once again at a vacation spot, where he eventually becomes the prime suspect in the murder of her colleague and rival, Ritsuko Usui.

The events take place when Kogoro, along with Ran and Conan, unexpectedly finds Eri shopping with a fellow lawyer, Norifumi Saku. He suspects that his wife is going out with Saku, not knowing that she's actually trying to pick a present for himself as the next day will be their wedding anniversary. They agree to have a drink together with Eri's other acquainted lawyers, but the detective's old bad habits while drunk once again enrages her.

[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|left|220px|A healed relationship?]]
Later, Kogoro accompanies the lawyers back to the hotel, where he, while unconscious, is instead brought to Usui's room as one of her tactics to ruin Eri's career by having "the queen" suspect that her husband has been cheating on her. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Usui is strangled by an unknown culprit with Kogoro being the only one found sleeping inside the locked crime scene. He is then suspected to have committed the murder.

Much to everyone's surprise, Eri refuses to defend her husband in court, while openly declaring her accusation of Kogoro. However, her real intention is to remain at the crime scene in order to find a way to prove his innocence, but Kogoro misunderstands this and angrily walks away after replying with some sarcastic comments.

Eri, with Conan's help, eventually manages to unmask the true murderer and clear Kogoro's name. The next day morning, after learning of his wife's deeds, Kogoro walks to where Eri is sitting and apologizes to her. He also sincerely asks her to come back with him, only to find out that she's just listening to Ran's MD without actually hearing anything that he said. Kogoro gets angry at Eri again as she leaves, not knowing that she has recorded all of his nice words into the disk.

Later on, Ran manages to win them a family trip to Shizuoka with Kogoro's lottery ticket and invites Eri to a birthday dinner with Kogoro, Ran and Conan.

The dinner doesn't go as well as planned. Kogoro behaves in his usual casual manner, acting indifferent to Eri's presence and seemingly having no intention of giving Eri the necklace. Later that night, a murder occurs in Eri's hotel room. Kogoro immediately devotes himself to solving the case and after receiving hints from Conan, and with both Conan and Eri's help with his deduction, uncovers the murderer's identity.

After the case is closed, Kogoro steps up to give Eri the present. It turns out that Kogoro had remembered Eri's birthday as Sports Day (taiiku no hi) and the recent date change of Sports Day had made his birthday present one day late. While he was flustered and frustrated by his mistake, Eri decides that she still wants it because she could tell that Kogoro deeply cares for her. However, she opens the package and finds out that Kogoro had, due to his carelessness, given her a Buddhist rosary (nenju) that he had bought for the owner of Poirot, while Eri's birthday present was lying in his desk drawer all along.

Kogoro narrates this case like he's the main character. Everything is explained specifically with Kogoro's inner monologue, as well as his moments turning into "Sleeping Kogoro" where he concludes that he uses his brain too much until he's unconscious and let his "other self" to solve the case. He also mentions the weird pick sensation on his neck before everything happens.

== Relationships analysis ==
===Family & Friends===
====Eri Kisaki====
Eri Kisaki is Kogoro's wife, who has been living separately from him for the last ten years. A primary reason that they have not yet gotten back together is because of Mouri's constant flirting with other women. It is shown that Eri still cares for him, even naming her cat 'Goro', which is taken from Kogoro. She is also annoyed by his frequent alcoholic indulgences. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still appears to have feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet, though she still has feelings for him as well.

====Ran Mouri====
Kogoro has raised his daughter Ran ever since he and Eri separated. She often has to look after her father because of his drinking and gambling habits. She is very determined to get her parents back together and tries every chance she gets to make them reconcile, though her attempts usually end in failure. Kogoro is very protective of Ran. There are many times when Kogoro shows concern for his daughter's safety, often getting serious when Ran is in trouble. He is concerned about Ran's relationship with Shinichi, as well.

====Conan Edogawa====
Kogoro took in Conan after he had 'solved' the case in episode 2, saying that Conan was his 'luck' and allowing Conan to live with them. He has been suspicious of Conan's behavior at times, but quickly drops his suspicions as ridiculous. Ever since Yukiko (disguised as Conan's nonexistent mother) gave Kogoro a large sum of money for Conan's expenses, he has been more than happy to take care of Conan. While Kogoro often shows a level of disregard towards his ward, there are rare moments where it is apparent he has become quite protective of Conan as well.

====Yoko Okino====
Yoko is Kogoro's idol. He always watches her television appearances and admires her. Yoko sometimes invites Kogoro to host a show or appear on commercials, which helps to spread his fame as a detective.

====Shinichi Kudo====
They are both detectives, but due to Shinichi being the better detective, Mouri is constantly complaining about how he never gets any work because of the 'detective brat' taking all of the cases. He is also against his daughter being with Shinichi so much, likely due to his own rocky marriage with his childhood friend.

====Tooru Amuro====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|Amuro wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]][[Tooru Amuro]] became Kogoro's apprentice in the [[Wedding Eve]] case in exchange for a large fee every time Kogoro brought him on a case. Amuro tends to act ingratiating whenever Kogoro Mouri is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Amuro's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Amuro flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the Black Organization, Amuro doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Amuro is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Amuro is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.
{{clear}}

===Law Enforcement===

====Juzo Megure====
Kogoro used to work with [[Juzo Megure]] when he was still part of the police force. Megure thought that Kogoro was incompetent as a police detective. Their relationship has dramatically improved since Conan began using Kogoro as a mouthpiece for his deductions. Juzo hates that the police have to rely on an outside detective to solve cases, yet he is also very grateful that Kogoro wraps up difficult cases that the police could have mishandled.

Kogoro is familiar with but usually respectful of Megure at all times. Megure, who has a bit of a love hate relationship with Mouri, tends to be exasperated around Kogoro, especially when Kogoro appears in middle of a case or while Kogoro is awake and making his usual bad deductions. Megure likes the "Sleeping Kogoro" persona much more. Megure has noted that Kogoro shows up unnaturally frequently at the scenes of murders, leading to him jokingly calling Kogoro a harbinger of bad luck or a "death god".

==== Inspector Yuminaga ====
Kogoro Mouri briefly was the subordinate of [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division. Kogoro's nickname for Yuminaga was "fiery old fossil". Yuminaga noted that Kogoro would always jump to the conclusion that every fire was an arson.

== 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. Kogoro placed 8th in the poll with 84 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 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

== Name origin ==
The name "Kogoro Mouri" came from two mystery-related sources. "Kogoro" came from "[[Kogoro Akechi]]", the detective created by [[Edogawa Rampo]], while Mouri came from [[Maurice Leblanc|'''Mauri'''ce Leblanc]]. Coincidentally, his drama actor, [[Takanori Jinnai]], has played Kogoro Akechi in many TV movies. The kanji for "Mouri" (毛利) comes from daimyo [[wikipedia:Mōri Motonari|Mouri Motonari]]. Coincidentally, Mouri sounds like 'mourir', the French word for 'to die'.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Lupin_2-05_Kogoro.png|thumb|right|Kogoro's flashy gold business cards]]
*In the movie continuity, Kogoro's practice of using ostentatious gold business cards carries over from [[Private Eye in the Distant Sea]] to [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]].

* Although Kogoro suffers from acrophobia, he sometimes seems to forget about his fear. For instance he leans over the railing of a balcony on the 21st floor in episode 69 (Night Baron Murder Case). Furthermore he feels perfectly comfortable on board of a plane in episode 162 (The locked Room in the Sky, Shinichi Kudo's First Case). In episode 596 (the Aliby of the Fall), he looks out of a window from the 6th floor, but then "remembers" his fear and recoils. The discontinuity is probably because Kogoro's fear was invented for [[Movie 2]] and did not originate in the manga where Kogoro is relatively fine around cliffs and tall buildings.

{{nihongo|'''Shinichi Kudo'''|工藤新一|Kudō Shin'ichi}} is the high school detective protagonist of the manga and anime [[Detective Conan]]. While on a date with his childhood friend and romantic interest [[Ran Mouri]], Shinichi encounters [[Gin|two]] [[Vodka|men]] from a [[Black Organization|secret criminal organization]] who force feed him [[APTX 4869|a strange poison]] that causes his body to shrink back to first grade age. Shinichi takes up the alias '''[[Conan Edogawa]]''' and plans to use his immense skill as a detective to make Ran's [[Kogoro Mouri|bumbling private detective father]] famous in hopes that he will find a case involving the secret organization so he can expose its crimes and acquire an antidote that will turn him back into a teenager.

Viz romanized his original name as ''Shin'ichi Kudo'' while Shogakukan's website romanizes it as ''Shinichi Kudoh''.

== Background ==
At the beginning of the [[Detective Conan]] series, Shinichi is a 16-year old<ref name="f2" /><ref>[[Volume_15#File_141_-_Gone.21.3F|Volume 15, File 141, page 12: "Gone!?"]]</ref> (17, according to the anime)<ref name="e3" /> student at [[Setting#Teitan_High_School|Teitan High School]] who has become famous for helping the Tokyo police solve murder mysteries. Shinichi was born to [[Yusaku Kudo]], a mystery writer, and [[Yukiko Kudo]], a former movie star.<ref>[[Volume 5#File 049 - An Unfamiliar Visitor|Volume 5, File 49, page 163: "An Unfamiliar Visitor"]]</ref>

One day, Shinichi brings his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] to a local theme park called [[Tropical Land]], to celebrate her victory in the Metropolitan Karate Championships. He later ends up solving a murder case there.<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]].</ref> As they are leaving, Shinichi heads off alone to follow a suspicious man in black, [[Vodka]], who was a suspect in the earlier murder. Shinichi witnesses a blackmail exchange between Vodka and a company president in a secluded area just outside the park, but is too engrossed to notice [[Gin]], Vodka's partner, sneak up from behind. Gin knocks him out and forces him to swallow a new experimental poison known as [[APTX 4869]], and they then leave him to die. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurs: his body shrinks into that of his six year-old self.<ref name="f2" /> After escaping from well-meaning but skeptical park security, with nowhere else to go Shinichi heads home. He there runs into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], who warns him that he must keep his identity secret because the [[Black Organization]] will kill him and others associated with him should they discover the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>
[[Image:Conan Edogawa Investigating.jpg|120px|thumb|left|Conan Edogawa, the "small" Shinichi]]

=== Conan Edogawa ===
{{main|Conan Edogawa}}
Shinichi comes up with the alias Conan Edogawa from [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Edogawa Rampo|'''''Edogawa''''' Rampo]] and pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's, who places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2" /> Ran's father [[Kogoro Mouri]] owns a Detective Agency, which may allow Conan to run into a case involving the Black Organization. In the meantime, to protect his identity he is forced to play the part of a first-grader, including enrolling as a student at [[Teitan Elementary]]. Three classmates, [[Ayumi]], [[Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko]], befriend him and pull him into creating the ''[[Detective Boys]]'',<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case|Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> after which he tries to keep them out of trouble between using Kogoro as a mouthpiece to solve crimes and searching for how to get his big body back with the help of the creator of APTX 4869, [[Ai Haibara]].
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi is already well-known as a brilliant young detective, the "Savior of the police force", for solving many difficult cases the professionals could not.<ref name="e1" /> He is extremely intelligent, and even from a young age was very intuitive and observant. Due to the influence of his father and the general laissez-faire environment at home, he has long been an incessant and persistent reader, especially of mystery novels.<ref name="f569">[[Volume 55#File 569 - The Mischievous Boy|Volume 55, Files 569-572: "The Mischievous Boy"]]</ref> His father, Yusaku started taking Shinichi to crime scenes as a child, which inspired him to be a detective.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205, pages 74-78: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref> Due to his bluntness and matter-of-fact manner, Shinichi can come off as rude and arrogant. However, he cares deeply about human life, unable to understand how any reason could be sufficient motive for murder,<ref>[[Volume 26#File 258 - Momentary Rest|Volume 26, File 258, page 71: "Momentary Rest"]]</ref> and is convinced that driving a culprit to suicide is no better than murder itself. <ref>[[Volume 16#File 153 - Bonds of Flame|Volume 16, File 153: "Bonds of Flame"]]</ref> The few times he has been too late to save a life haunt him throughout the series.

Prior to his transformation, Shinichi enjoyed being in the spotlight and was rather arrogant, reveling in making local headlines and receiving fan-mail. Throughout the series, Shinichi's predicament causes him to gain a sense of humility. Shinichi still keeps his flair for the dramatic (like his mother) that can be seen every time he sets out a deduction in pieces building to a climax.

Despite his popularity with the masses and his schoolmates, Shinichi has very few close friends. He is close to Ran and Agasa, and after deaging, he befriended Heiji, Haibara, and to some extent the other Detective Boys. Another reason for his lack of close friends was because his arrogant personality was a negative turn-off to many of his classmates and even teachers, making it hard to befriend him. Even with his close friends (one being older than him), Shinichi doesn't hesitate to call them "idiot", instead of calmly explaining his reason for doing or not doing something, sometimes causing arguments between him and Ran.

Shinichi also had a tendency, since elementary school, to have an air of being the "distant, cool guy". While he is a truly good and heroic individual, he doesn't make it known to others that obviously, and will make some "deductive reasoning" for why he did such a thing. His sensitive nature is also horrible, which was shown most prominently during the Holmes' Revelation Arc, when Ran started crying because she believed that Shinichi not telling her he was in London meant that he was indifferent to her feelings for him. However, instead of trying to comfort her, Shinichi repeatedly asked her about the [[Yukiko Kudo|strange woman]] she met, and told her to pull herself together.

Despite his intelligence, Shinichi is rather dense when it comes to love or romantic subjects, though perhaps not to the same extent as [[Heiji Hattori]]. He struggled to confess his love for to Ran, even after he knew her feelings (as Conan), and temporarily returned to his original body in the Desperate Revival Arc, he was about to confess to her, but chickened out at the last minute. After several failures, finally succeeded in [[Holmes' Revelation|London]]. However, he was revealed to be an amazing "wingman" in Episodes 253-254.

== Appearance ==
Shinichi is a 174 cm<ref name=CD41 /> (5'8.5") Japanese teenager with a thin, athletic build. He has pale skin and a dark brown/black hair with a cowlick in front and distinctive tuft in the back. Shinichi bears a striking resemblance to his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]] minus his father's mustache and round glasses. Shinichi has blue eyes in the manga (a trait shared by all the characters), and they are blue in the anime as well.

Shinichi is right handed and right footed, but he is good with both feet because of his soccer skills.

Shinichi often appears in his high school uniform, but he also wears a suit and tie or regular clothing depending on the occasion. When Conan turns back into Shinichi by using [[baijiu]] or a [[temporary antidote]], Shinichi will wear whatever appropriately sized clothing he can find at the time. He was also very popular with the girls as he was handsome not to mention a high school detective.

==Skills==
:''See also: [[Conan Edogawa#Skills|Conan's Skills]]''
=== Detective skills ===
Shinichi is very skilled as a detective, often earning him comparisons to [[Sherlock Holmes]]. Shinichi has acquired various nicknames because of his prowess, such as the "[[Wikipedia:Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and the "Detective of the East". He has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to ignore or not take into account. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to recall every detail of an investigation or other topics he cares about, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Shinichi's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Shinichi has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases, something he likely acquired from incessant reading as a child. Only his father [[Yusaku Kudo]], and the current [[Kaitou Kid]], [[Kaito Kuroba]], regularly surpass him.

=== Athletic ability ===
Besides intelligence, Shinichi also has an amazing athletic ability, partially derived from playing soccer, his favorite sport. Shinichi is an extremely skilled soccer player, having been professionally scouted while only in middle school, but he chooses to stay at the amateur level. He initially played to hone his reflexes and often juggles a ball to clear his mind, but he is also an enthusiastic fan of the sport in its own right.<ref name="e1"/> In order to defend himself and others from criminals, Shinichi has perfected a signature, powerful precision kick to knock out criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Shinichi's kick is accurate over long distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing and snowboarding.

Aside from soccer, Shinichi exhibits a knack for handling firearms due to his father taking him to shooting ranges from time to time. During the Clocktower Heist, Shinichi is able to shoot and dislodge the support beam of a giant projection screen, which Kaitou Kid had placed in order to fool a crowd of onlookers, with a single shot from a moving helicopter. Additionally, in [[Movie 2]] Conan shot a gun at Ran and the criminal holding her hostage with impeccable accuracy; in doing so, he reminds her of Shinichi.

Shinichi is nimble as well as strong. In the manga, he is capable of considerable acrobatics, jumping great distances and swinging from tree to tree to escape onlookers.<ref>Shiragami case</ref> The anime and movies augment Shinichi's athletic abilities in addition to what is shown in the manga. He has been able to skillfully dodge a kicking assault from an angry Ran, something very few have ever managed.

=== Music ===
Shinichi cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being [[Wikipedia:tone deaf|tone deaf]]. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Shinichi has [[Wikipedia:perfect pitch|perfect pitch]] and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody.<ref>[[Volume 15#File 144 - Their Voices Are Alike!?|Volume 15, File 144: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref> Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in movie 12 ''[[Full Score of Fear]]'' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

=== Language ===
Shinichi is well-educated in English, as he once conversed with and translated for an American diplomat, and later solved a case in London without evidence of any language barrier.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref><ref name="f743">[[Volume 71#File 743 - Holmes' Apprentice|Volumes 71-72, Files 743-752: "Holmes' Apprentice"]]</ref> Shinichi also knows some German, at least how to count.<ref>[[Genta's Certain Kill Shot]]</ref> Shinichi is not familiar with Italian.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref>

== Plot overview ==
Because the main plot revolves around the fact that Shinichi has become 'Conan' and is forced into hiding, Shinichi is rarely in the series as himself. However, Conan is frequently shown calling Ran using his voice-changing bow tie to sound like Shinichi and sending/receiving text messages from her with "Shinichi's" phone. In these instances, it can be said that the character of Shinichi, albeit in the body of Conan, is appearing, since these phone conversations and text messages allow Shinichi to be himself, however briefly. The below instances however, are actual appearances of Shinichi as well as flashbacks from before the series began.

=== Transformations back into Shinichi ===

==== Roller Coaster Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|001-002]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|001]])====
[[Image:Shinichi appears.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi appears to correct Hattori's deduction]] Shinichi starts as himself in the Roller coaster murder case, but by the end he has been transformed into Conan, thus beginning the series' plot. Since then, Conan has temporarily turned back to Shinichi several times.

==== Great Detective of the West (Manga: [[Volume 10|092-095]], Anime: [[Diplomat Murder Case|048-049]])====
Shinichi's next real appearance after shrinking is in [[Volume 10]], when a strange detective from Osaka named [[Heiji Hattori]] arrives at Mouri Detective Agency looking for Shinichi in order to determine which of them is the better detective. A strange combination of having a cold and drinking the [[baijiu]] that Heiji had brought along allows Conan to briefly grow into Shinichi once again.<ref>[[Volume 10#File 092 - The Great Detective Of The West|Volume 10, Files 92-96: "The Great Detective Of The West"]]</ref> However, he develops an immunity to the alcohol and cannot replicate the transformation.

==== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 26|254-260]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|188-193]]) ====
In [[Volume 26]], Conan is able to become Shinichi using an [[Antidote (prototype)]] that [[Ai Haibara]] synthesized. As himself, he tries to surprise Ran by disguising himself as a character in her play, but is interrupted by a murder case and ends up revealing himself to his entire high school. [[Heiji Hattori]] covers for him and Shinichi is able to spend about 48 hours as himself, albeit with a brief collapse about halfway through. He turns back into Conan just as he seems to be about to confess his feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 26#File 254 - An Infatuated Heart|Volume 26, Files 254-260: "An Infatuated Heart"]]</ref>

==== The Murderer is Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 62|646-651]], Anime: [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|521-523]])====
Shinichi's next appearance is not until [[Volume 62]], when, while on a case with Heiji, Conan goes missing and 'Shinichi' seems to appear. The 'Shinichi' is actually someone who had gotten plastic surgery to look like Shinichi Kudo, and is actually trying to blame Shinichi for a murder. The real Shinichi hides in the forest until he can clear his name. Shinichi had been temporarily restored by another of Haibara's prototypes, but this time by accident; Agasa mistakenly gave them to Shinichi thinking they were cold medicine.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 646 - Village of Animosity|Volume 62, Files 646-651: "Village of Animosity"]]</ref> After the case is solved Shinichi transforms back to Conan, but luckily, Haibara secretly followed him there and gives him another antidote, saving him from revealing his identity to Kogoro, Ran and Kazuha. While driving home from the case, the group is stopped by another murder which Shinichi and Heiji investigate together, despite increasing pangs that warn of his imminent reversion to Conan. After the case is resolved, Ran tries to stop Shinichi from leaving, saying she has something to tell him. Shinichi stops her, saying "According to my deductions, what you have to say and what I have to say are the same thing." Ran seizes his hand while he is transforming back into Conan, and though Haibara knocks her out with Conan's wristwatch, she refuses to let go of his hand. Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] have to cut and re-pin Conan's shirt onto him because Ran is still clutching his hand and he refuses to pull out of her grip.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 652 - The Thing She Really Wants to Ask|Volumes 62-63, Files 652-654: "The Thing She Really Wants to Ask"]]</ref>

==== Holmes' Revelation (Manga: [[Volume 71|743-751]], Anime: [[Holmes' Revelation|616-621]])====
In [[Volume 71]], Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are invited to England by a rich, elite British woman, Diana Kingstone, after Kogoro finds her cat under the table in Café Poirot. However, since 'Conan Edogawa' doesn't have the proper credentials to fly internationally, Ai gives him a prototype pill so that Shinichi and Agasa can fly low-profile to England on the same plane that Ran and Kogoro are flying. Ai provides a second prototype pill for the return journey, but Conan uses it while Ran was pursuing him in London. During that trip, Shinichi answers Ran's hurt feelings over his behavior with the fact that he cares for her and that he likes her; unfortunately, before she could respond or confess in kind, Shinichi has to vanish and becomes Conan again. Luckily for Conan, Shinichi's parents appear because Ai had expected him to use the second pill, and they provide him with an extra antidote to let Conan return to Japan. <ref name="f743" />

=== Flashback Appearances ===

==== Shinichi's first case (Manga: [[Volume 21|204-207]], Anime: [[The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case|162]])====
One year ago, Shinichi solved his first case by himself on a plane flying to New York City. The second half of this trip is retold in the next flashback.

==== Golden Apple (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]] and [[Volume 35|351-354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])====
One year ago, Shinichi went to New York City with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to meet up with his mother and see a play called the Golden Apple in [[Volume 35]]. There, they met [[Vermouth]] and [[Shuichi Akai]] for the first time.

==== Heiji's Memories (Manga: [[Volume 50|518-521]], Anime: [[Heiji Hattori vs. Shinichi Kudo: Deduction Battle on the Ski Slope|490]])====
During a call to Conan, Heiji talks about a brilliant detective kid he met at a skiing trip during middle school who was actually Shinichi who he competed with to solve the mystery.

==== Challenge from the original Kaitou Kid (Manga: [[Volume 55|570-573]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure|472-473]])====
In [[Volume 55#Shinichi's Childhood Adventure|Volume 55]], a flashback revealed that as first-graders, Shinichi and Ran had been given a riddle by the original [[Kaitou Kid]], [[Toichi Kuroba]].<ref>[[Volume 53#File 550 - The Only Witness|Volume 53, Files 550-553: "The Only Witness"]]</ref>

==== Memories of Light Blue (Manga: [[Volume 83|882]] and [[Volume 84|883-884]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo Aquarium Case|772-773]])====
During an aquarium visit with Conan and the Detective Boys, Ran remembers going to the aquarium with Shinichi almost a year ago. After solving a murder case there, it is revealed how Shinichi came to promise Ran [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|their trip to Tropical Land]].

==== Ran GIRL/Shinichi BOY (Manga: [[Volume 87|921-924]], Anime: ??)====

=== Non-Canonical Appearances ===
==== Movie 7 ====
In Movie 7, Heiji was injured and Kazuha kidnapped; her abductors threatened to kill her unless Heiji showed up for her. Believing Heiji to be unable to do so, Conan contacted Ai and asked if there was any way for him to briefly become Heiji. Ai gave him medicine to simulate the effects of a cold, then he drank some [[Baijiu]] which had changed him in his and Heiji's first manga appearance. Conan became Shinichi for approximately an hour, but according to Ai he was extremely weak and sick for the entire time.

==== OVA 9 ====
In OVA 9, Conan takes another prototype antidote. However, it proves less effective than the prototype he used during the Desperate Revival arc; Conan became Shinichi, but only for a few hours, and remained in a feverish state, unable to wake up until he had reverted back to Conan. During his time unconscious, he had a vivid hallucination that he had grown to age 17 again as Conan and that Ran, aged 27, was about to marry [[Tomoaki Araide]].

==== Live action special 2 ====

==== Live-action drama series ====
{{main|Challenge Letter to Shinichi Kudo}}

== Relationships analysis ==
Since Shinichi is not featured as prominently as Conan throughout the series, only a few of his relationships with other characters have been substantially explored.

=== Family & Friends ===
[[Image:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Shinichi and Ran]]
==== Ran Mouri ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Ran Mouri]] is Shinichi's childhood friend and canonical love interest. They have been friends and playmates since kindergarten<ref name="f569"/><ref>[[Volume 11#File 107 - The Two Mysteries|Volume 11, File 107: "The Two Mysteries"]]</ref>, though Shinichi's tendency to drag Ran along into minor trouble caused some censure from [[Eri Kisaki|her mother]]. Shinichi has liked Ran since at least the first year of middle school, and turned down any other potential love interests as a result, but she has never realized this.<ref>[[Volume 18#File 175 - Unlock Your Heart!?|Volume 18, File 175, page 92: "Unlock Your Heart!?"]]</ref> Shinichi was similarly oblivious to Ran's regard until Ran confessed to Conan that despite his faults, which she is well aware of, she has liked Shinichi for some time.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 64: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> Shinichi has since confessed his feelings to Ran in the non-[[canon]] 4th movie 'Captured In Her Eyes' (which Ran mistook as his attempt to get her memories back), and made attempts to say something during temporary cures in the manga and anime, but cases always seem to interfere until the cure runs out. Shinichi since then has finally canonically confessed to Ran in the case in London.<ref>[[Volume 72#File 752 - A Troublesome and Difficult Case|Volume 72, File 752, page 14: "A Troublesome and Difficult Case"]]</ref> Ran has yet to verbally return his confession, but Shinichi is confident he now understands how she feels already.

[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|250px|Shinichi Kudo somewhat and somehow confesses his feelings for [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to her under the Big Ben in London, during the Holmes' Revelation Arc.]]
Shinichi's initial disappearance troubled Ran to the point of insomnia and nearly going to the police. Since then, Shinichi sometimes calls Ran over the telephone and imitates his normal voice with the [[voice-changing bowtie]] so that she doesn't worry about him. He convinces her that he is off solving a very difficult case and will return once the investigation concludes.<ref>[[Volume_1#File_009_-_An_Unfortunate_Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9, Page 15: "An Unfortunate Misunderstanding"]]</ref> In reality, he is the brain behind her father's rapid rise to fame as a detective.

Shinichi/Conan is not without sexual fantasies regarding Ran, the most obvious evidence being his nosebleeds or blushing when he sees her in a bathing suit<ref>[[Volume 83#File 873 - Red Devil|Volume 83, File 873, Page 4: "Red Devil"]]</ref>, or when Ran pulled him into an [[wikipedia: onsen|onsen]] with her.<ref>[[Volume_9#File_084_-_Kogoro.27s_Class_Reunion|Volume 9, File 4: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> For her part, Ran often blushes when thinking of Shinichi, especially when Sonoko teases her about their relationship. Her attitude towards Conan is one of more open, sisterly affection, such as giving him hugs or holding his hand. Shinichi has some concerns of bodily harm should Ran realize that not only has he been lying to her, but they've shared a bed and taken a bath together.<ref>[[Volume 14#File 134 - Question In Dead Leave|Volume 14, File 134, pages 60-67: "Question In Dead Leave"]]</ref>

Shinichi and Ran appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making each of them feel the other's worry and agitation in times of extreme danger.<ref>Manga Chapters 372-373: Serial Bomber Case</ref>

{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
{{main|Kudo family}}
[[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] Kudo are both aware that [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is in fact Shinichi. His parents are even more famous than he is, with Yusaku being a famous mystery novelist and Yukiko being a retired actress who remains partially involved in the industry. They currently live in the United States and travel extensively, having left Shinichi in Japan on his own when he was fourteen. Though he sometimes finds his parents' carefree ways to be annoying, he loves them dearly. Yusaku is also a detective with the same keen eye for details, and similarly to Holmes' brother Mycroft, Yusaku always seems to solve a case one step ahead of his son.

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
Although not related by blood, there is a strong family-like bond between Shinichi and [[Hiroshi Agasa]]. Agasa was the first to know about Shinichi's shrunk predicament and was the one to tell him to keep it a secret. Most of the gadgets that Shinichi has were made by Agasa to help Shinichi catch the criminals and solve the cases as Conan. He also knows about Shinichi's romantic relationship with Ran and sometimes teases him about it in front of her (when Shinichi can't do anything about it since he is Conan).

==== Heiji Hattori ====
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo bests Heiji in their first case. Even though Heiji discovers Shinichi's secret, he decides to keep quiet (though he often slips up and calls him Kudo in front of others). After Heiji realizes the truth, the two have become best friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They have solved many cases together, and Heiji is the person Shinichi turns to for advice or for confirmation regarding a deduction. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend or brother.

Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better (or even equal), and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" (Osaka) is better than the "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives.

=== Detective Boys ===
So far, Shinichi did not canonically meet the detective boys before becoming Conan. In the non-canonical animated special, [[Magic File 2: The Case of the Mysterious Wall and the Black Lab|OVA Magic File 2]], four years prior to him becoming Conan, a thirteen-year-old Shinichi came across the Detective Boys, [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], while they were still three years old. He needed their help in confirming a client's alibi. Also, in the first live action drama and the first episode of the anime<ref>The anime was altered to introduce the Detective Boys early. In the manga they met after Shinichi became Conan.</ref>, the Detective Boys are seen sneaking into Tropical Land for treasure. Ran then says, pointing to the children, "It was like that last time, huh?" to Shinichi.

==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}

[[Ai Haibara]], a defector from the [[Black Organization]] who was shrunk with the same poison as Shinichi, is the third girl that seems to have somewhat romantic feelings for Conan/Shinichi, although she never truly admits it. Indeed, it is a mystery just exactly what she feels for him, whether friendship or otherwise. Some people, such as [[Yukiko Kudo|Conan's mother]], have stated that she has feelings for Conan. It could be said that, because of their almost equal level of intelligence as well as similarities in their pasts (i.e. they're both victims of the [[APTX 4869]]), she finds it easier to talk to him. She loves to tease him or otherwise insult him, pointing out his weakness.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Juzo Megure ====
[[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] has worked together with Shinichi to solve many cases. During Shinichi's first case on the plane to New York, Megure seemed irritated that Shinichi was poking his nose into a murder case. Since then, because Shinichi has proven himself solving cases one after the other, Megure has grown to respect Shinichi and his deductive abilities, thanking him for his assistance.

=== Others ===
==== Kaitou Kid ====
Despite the fact [[Toichi Kuroba|Toichi]] and Shinichi only met once prior to Toichi's death, it's worth mentioning that Toichi referred to Shinichi as his "older brother" and himself as the "younger brother". This is because Yusaku created and thus was the '''father''' of the moniker [[Kaitou Kid|Kaitou '''Kid''']], Toichi's secret identity. Toichi's son and successor, [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]], has also only crossed paths with Shinichi as Shinichi once, during the [[The_Gathering_of_the_Detectives!_Kudo_Shinichi_vs._Kaitou_Kid|Clocktower heist]]. Kaito thought Shinichi made the heist harder (and thus less boring) in [[Saguru Hakuba]]'s absence, and Shinichi found Kid's intention of 'stealing' the Clocktower in order to save it from demolition to be fairly admirable.

In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi had become Conan, Kid disguised himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki Black Star pearl. When Conan cornered him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid suggested that he'd stolen all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ended up being a bluff, Conan was shocked and infuriated. In subsequent encounters between Kid and Conan, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid. In several instances he appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence; knowing Kid is close by often causes Conan to behave far more frenetically. However, in several instances, beginning with the "Big Adventure in the Eccentric Residence" case, when Kid does Conan/Shinichi a favor, such as saving Genta's life in the aforementioned case, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape unhindered.

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity and none have betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], Conan's parents, [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] also knows, but she has kept it a secret from the rest of the Organization to protect Shinichi because he had [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354.2C_Anime:_286-288.29|saved her life in New York]]. [[Eisuke Hondou]], the younger brother of C.I.A. agent [[Hidemi Hondou]], also knows and keeps Conan's secret. [[Kaitou Kid]] also knows Conan's identity in the movies, though it is not clear whether he knows Conan's secret in the actual anime and manga. However, Kid seems to know there is something unusual about Conan, as whenever he tries to publicly steal he usually reveals that he only wants to compete with Conan as thief and detective. [[Ran]] gets suspicious on occasion, but so far Conan has managed to trick her into thinking Conan and Shinichi are two different people. Finally, [[Subaru Okiya]] has seen Conan use Shinichi's voice with his bowtie voice modifier. Since Subaru Okiya is actually [[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise, this means that Akai knows about it as well.

== Name origin ==
Shinichi's given name is a pun on "one truth". The "ichi" (一) means "one" and "shin" can be read as truth (真), however the kanji actually used for "shin" (新) in Shinichi's name means "new".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C|title=WWWJDIC: Word Search|date=2011|publisher=Jim Breen|accessdate=2011-09-04}}</ref> Shinichi's family name "Kudo" comes from the fictional detective Shunsaku Kudo created by Nobumitsu Kodaka. <ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Detective Conan|volume=18|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1998-01-17 |isbn=4-09-125048-3|chapter=|page=Back cover flap|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref> The ON-readings of the kanji for "Kudo" mean "craft" or "construction" (工) and "wisteria" (藤). <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1B|title=WWWJDIC: Kanji Selection|date=2011|publisher=Jim Breen|accessdate=2011-09-04}}</ref>
"Shinichi" may also have come from "Shinichi Suzuki", a famous violinist. (Shinichi Kudo plays violin){{citation needed}}

== Character inspiration ==
Shinichi's design was based off of Conan's. Gosho said Shinichi's hairstyle was designed in about one minute. He smoothed [[Yaiba]]'s hair and added a tuft modeled after the apostrophe hairstyle of Kabu from [[Wikipedia:Sally_the_Witch|Sally the Witch]]. The tuft on hair on the top of Shinichi's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia:Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Shinichi's speech habits were meant to be slightly rough like Joe from [[Wikipedia:Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]] and [[Wikipedia:Touch (manga)|Touch]].<ref>File 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Ayumi Yoshida|吉田歩美|''Yoshida Ayumi''}}''', also known '''Amy Yeager''' in the English dub and manga, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Ayumi clear background.jpg|thumb|left|125px|Ayumi]]
Ayumi Yoshida is a student in [[Teitan Elementary]] when [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] joins her class as [[Conan Edogawa]]. Ayumi befriends Conan and convinces him to join her, [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] in investigating an apparently haunted mansion. As it turns out, the haunting is a cover-up for an old homicide case, and due to Conan, the mystery is solved and the culprits are arrested.

Soon after, the accidental acquisition of a treasure map leads Ayumi, Genta, Mistuhiko and Conan on a hunt for a cache of stolen Italian gold coins, during which Conan saves them from getting killed by the mafia members who are also after the gold. His actions earn Ayumi's gratitude, which quickly develops into a serious crush.<ref>Manga Chapter 39: Code Sheet Case: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref> Additionally, after the case is resolved, Ayumi joins Genta and Mitsuhiko in forming the nucleus of an amateur detective group, the [[Detective Boys]]. Ayumi is the sole female member of the Detective Boys until [[Ai Haibara]] joins their ranks.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Ayumi is a primarily naive and innocent little girl who enjoys adventure. She demonstrates courage as time goes on and acts as the group's cheerful spirit. She has an open crush on Conan, which makes him uncomfortable, though Ayumi thinks that he has feelings for Haibara because he tries to protect her and she often sees them talking amongst themselves in private. Ayumi later becomes better friends with Haibara, and in the Japanese version, Haibara allows Ayumi permission to use the more informal term Ai-''chan'' to address her.<ref>[[Volume 39]]</ref>

When on a case, Ayumi often makes simple observations that help lead to progress and resolution. For instance, she unlocked one of the codes from the Momotaro container the [[Detective Boys]] found in Kurashiki by deducing that it was most likely referring to one of the statues at the Oohara Art Museum: they had to walk 25 steps from the statue towards the direction it was facing.<ref name="ep377">[[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour|Episode 377-378: Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour]]</ref>

== Plot overview ==
=== Ayumi-chan Kidnapping Case (Manga: [[Volume 9|81-83]]; Anime: [[Ayumi-chan Kidnapping Case|12]]) ===
Ayumi plays hide and seek with the Detective Boys. She hides in the trunk of a parked car, not knowing that the owners would drive off with her. While in the dark, she hears the driver and passenger saying criminal things and, feeling around in the dark, finds a bundles of cash and a severed head. Conan, Genta, and Mistuhiko chase after the car using Conan's skateboard. When they catch up and free Ayumi, they discover the "criminals" were really actors practicing their lines for a play and the "severed head" and "money" were only props made out of newspaper. To make up for the damage they caused, the reluctant Ayumi has to play the role of the dead girl in the play.

=== The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case (Manga: [[Volume 20|200]],[[Volume 21|201,203]]; Anime: [[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case|136-137]]) ===

{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ayumi Yoshida}}
Ayumi has strong romantic feelings for [[Conan]] and sees him as a role model as well as an extremely reliable person she can look up to and may always count on.<ref>Manga Chapter 039: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref> Conan in turn is a bit unnerved by Ayumi's feelings, though he does respect her as a good friend.<ref>Manga Chapter 081: A Dangerous Game of Hide-And-Seek</ref>

==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima ====
Ayumi gets along well with [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], but blissfully fails to realize that they both have a crush on her.<ref>Manga Chapter 081: A Dangerous Game of Hide-And-Seek</ref> As a result, her open flirting with Conan leaves them frequently jealous or disappointed.<ref>Manga Chapter 437: Ai Haibara's Resolution</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 386: Stairs in the Setting Sun</ref>

==== Ai Haibara ====
Ayumi is the first to approach and try to befriend their new classmate, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], by offering to walk her home and then inviting her along on a Detective Boys investigation. At first Haibara remains distant, but later recognizes the value of friendship and allows Ayumi (and only her) to call her "Ai-chan". In turn, Haibara considers Ayumi like a little sister and gets along with her much better than with her other teammates.
