== Case ==

=== Situation ===

==== Begin Broadcasting ====
[[Yumi]] drives by [[Takagi]] who had gotten off of work early for a one night trip. She asks Takagi if he is going on a date with [[Miwako]], something which Takagi forcefully denies: "No, it's not a date!" Back at the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police]] Headquarters, Yumi asks Sato if she knows where Takagi is going. All they can deduce is that it might have something to do with a report Takagi met with [[Megure]] about earlier. Sato wonders if Takagi has forgotten the anniversary of his mentor [[Wataru Date|Date]]'s death.

{{InfoBox Crime

| location = Street
| victim = [[Wataru Date]]
| cause-death = Hit by a car
| description = As Date was reaching for his dropped police notebook, a sleepy driver struck and killed him. The driver was apprehended.
}}

At the airport, Takagi opens his notebook. It's marked with "Greet Parents" and contains a ring. Takagi breaks into tears, no longer confident in his ability to make Sato happy.

The next day, as the [[Detective Boys]] approach the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters where they were scheduled to for a crime prevention project, a strange old man asks them if they are the acquaintances of Wataru Takagi. He handed them a gift which was to be passed on to Sato and opened quickly. As the man leaves, [[Conan]] catches up with the Detective Boys. As Conan asks the Detective Boys about the man, [[Amuro]] appears! Amuro tells the four children he was called back in for questioning so the police could decide whether he'd gone too far during the [[Detectives' Nocturne]] case. As he walks away, Amuro mentions that he had another reason for coming here, but that reason has already disappeared.

Meanwhile in police headquarters, Sato continues to collect clues from the other officers about where Takagi's whereabouts. Sato is shocked to hear from [[Chiba]] that he saw Takagi crying over a photo of a woman in his notebook. When Chiba asked if it was of Sato, Takagi angrily denied it. Before Sato can question further, she receives a call from Conan.

In the hall, the Detective Boys gave the present to Sato. It turns out to be a tablet PC displaying a live feed of Takagi bound up with rope and tape while asleep. The feed cycles through several camera angles, revealing Takagi's body is on a wooden plank with a sheet in a partially constructed building. As Sato and the Detective Boys watch in horror, Takagi regains consciousness.

{{InfoBox Crime

}}

Although Shiratori felt that the Anti-Cybercrime Division can find the footage's location, it will take a long time. He suggested taking the tablet apart and charged directly from inside in order to retrieve the data, to which Conan said it was too risky. Superintendent Matsumoto ordered Megure to contact Haneda Airport on whether Takagi was on any passenger list last night, Shiratori to check his computer information on his likely whereabouts, Chiba to watch the tablet's video, Sato to question the Detective Boys who're waiting in another room and every police detective to investigate everyone connected with Takagi's prior investigations.

The Detective Boys recounted their encounter with the man. The man knew Takagi by his full name, yet only knew Sato as Takagi's detective girlfriend. Chiba came to report to Sato, who rushed back and to her horror saw Takagi almost falling off the board. However, it turned out that Takagi was dropping his police notebook.

Superintendent Matsumoto was wondering about Takagi's clueless disappearance when a police detective suddenly remembered seeing Takagi coming out of the Record Office last week while crying. Matsumoto ordered them to search through the records.

While Conan and Sato are taking a walk through the hall, Conan learnt that the records that Takagi looked at that day were 3 cases of women who committed suicide by hanging themselves about a year ago. They all had no signs of foul play, so they were out of the jurisdiction.

}}

The fraudster was caught but the charge wasn't fraud, but murder. He'd been shouldering quite large debts, and having trouble with a loan shark. He went and stabbed someone. Sato thinks Date caught him. Of course, Conan never met Date. Straight after catching the fraudster, Date died in a traffic accident.

He'd dropped his notebook, and was hit by a driver who'd fallen asleep at that wheel, according to Takagi. They were both on a night stakeout, and Date was trying to show Takagi something in his notebook when he got hit. The black notebook Takagi has was inherited from Date. Date was Takagi's mentor and were known as the "Wataru Brothers". Date's name is Wataru Date. His name was Wataru, just like Takagi's.

The culprit was Ryuusaku Fuemoto, who was also a teacher at the school the suicide victim, Natalie Kuruma, was in. She was Date's girlfriend and the culprit assumed that Takagi was Date as they had the same name. Thinking that he cheated on Natalie, he kidnapped Takagi. However, he committed suicide upon the police's arrival before he could reveal Takagi's location.

==== Enter the Scene ====
Takagi's location becomes narrowed down to Hokkaido thanks to the Western Jackdaw, snow pillar, and kites that appeared on the camera. The police are unable to get his specific position although Takagi is apparently in a four-story building. Later, Conan realizes that the building might not be a four-story building after all.

Conan reveals that the building is actually a second-story building; a mirror was used to make it seem like a four-story building. Conan is also able to read Takagi's lips, deducing his location to be at '''Hokkaido Komamae Town'''. Sato flies down from the helicopter and rescues Takagi before the bomb sets off. For the first time, Sato calls Takagi, "Wataru" and they are seen kissing twice.

Fuemoto actually died from terminal cancer.

=== Situation ===

==== Begin Broadcasting ====
[[Yumi]] drives by [[Takagi]] who had gotten off of work early for a one night trip. She asks Takagi if he is going on a date with [[Miwako]], something which Takagi forcefully denies: "No, it's not a date!" Back at the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police]] Headquarters, Yumi asks Sato if she knows where Takagi is going. All they can deduce is that it might have something to do with a report Takagi met with [[Megure]] about earlier. Sato wonders if Takagi has forgotten the anniversary of his mentor [[Wataru Date|Date]]'s death.

}}

At the airport, Takagi opens his notebook. It's marked with "Greet Parents" and contains a ring. Takagi breaks into tears, no longer confident in his ability to make Sato happy.

The next day, as the [[Detective Boys]] approach the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters where they were scheduled to for a crime prevention project, a strange old man asks them if they are the acquaintances of Wataru Takagi. He handed them a gift which was to be passed on to Sato and opened quickly. As the man leaves, [[Conan]] catches up with the Detective Boys. As Conan asks the Detective Boys about the man, [[Amuro]] appears! Amuro tells the four children he was called back in for questioning so the police could decide whether he'd gone too far during the [[Detectives' Nocturne]] case. As he walks away, Amuro mentions that he had another reason for coming here, but that reason has already disappeared.

Meanwhile in police headquarters, Sato continues to collect clues from the other officers about where Takagi's whereabouts. Sato is shocked to hear from [[Chiba]] that he saw Takagi crying over a photo of a woman in his notebook. When Chiba asked if it was of Sato, Takagi angrily denied it. Before Sato can question further, she receives a call from Conan.

In the hall, the Detective Boys gave the present to Sato. It turns out to be a tablet PC displaying a live feed of Takagi bound up with rope and tape while asleep. The feed cycles through several camera angles, revealing Takagi's body is on a wooden plank with a sheet in a partially constructed building. As Sato and the Detective Boys watch in horror, Takagi regains consciousness.

Although Shiratori felt that the Anti-Cybercrime Division can find the footage's location, it will take a long time. He suggested taking the tablet apart and charged directly from inside in order to retrieve the data, to which Conan said it was too risky. Superintendent Matsumoto ordered Megure to contact Haneda Airport on whether Takagi was on any passenger list last night, Shiratori to check his computer information on his likely whereabouts, Chiba to watch the tablet's video, Sato to question the Detective Boys who're waiting in another room and every police detective to investigate everyone connected with Takagi's prior investigations.

The Detective Boys recounted their encounter with the man. The man knew Takagi by his full name, yet only knew Sato as Takagi's detective girlfriend. Chiba came to report to Sato, who rushed back and to her horror saw Takagi almost falling off the board. However, it turned out that Takagi was dropping his police notebook.

Superintendent Matsumoto was wondering about Takagi's clueless disappearance when a police detective suddenly remembered seeing Takagi coming out of the Record Office last week while crying. Matsumoto ordered them to search through the records.

While Conan and Sato are taking a walk through the hall, Conan learnt that the records that Takagi looked at that day were 3 cases of women who committed suicide by hanging themselves about a year ago. They all had no signs of foul play, so they were out of the jurisdiction.

The fraudster was caught but the charge wasn't fraud, but murder. He'd been shouldering quite large debts, and having trouble with a loan shark. He went and stabbed someone. Sato thinks Date caught him. Of course, Conan never met Date. Straight after catching the fraudster, Date died in a traffic accident.

He'd dropped his notebook, and was hit by a driver who'd fallen asleep at that wheel, according to Takagi. They were both on a night stakeout, and Date was trying to show Takagi something in his notebook when he got hit. The black notebook Takagi has was inherited from Date. Date was Takagi's mentor and were known as the "Wataru Brothers". Date's name is Wataru Date. His name was Wataru, just like Takagi's.

Meanwhile at night, Takagi is still breathing and is still lying in prone position on the wooden board.

=== Situation ===
The case begins with a memory from the past, in which Shinichi's father, Yusaku Kudo, is shown telling Inspector Megure and Mouri Kogoro (who was a police officer at the time) that there is no need to worry about serial murder despite the ominous "death" character written next to the victim's body.

==== Part 1 ====
Ran, Sonoko, and Sera are discussing the case abandoned by Yusaku Kudo when they come across people crowded around a dead body. The "death" character was written facing the body, indicating a possible murder. At Shinichi's house, Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Sera, and Subaru inspect the photo from the case in the past; when the "death" characters in both cases are found to be similar, they are left wondering how Yusaku Kudo could have determined that the case was not a murder.

<spoiler>
Takefumi Kooriyama's death was an '''accident'''. The death characters were coincidental flukes made by candies and a thumb edge in Kooriyama's case was place by the Ryousuke Nishimura, and coins, the edge of a wallet, and a cigarette in Isao's case. Megure correctly ruled '''Isao's case''' to be a '''theft''' as some thieves stole Isao's wallet post-mortem. The thieves returned to the crime scene and attacked Sera, Ran, Sonoko, and Conan to cover their involvement in the theft. A little Jeet Kun Do, karate, and a well placed soccer ball dispatched the thieves easily. Sera's thoughts at the end of the episode seem to indicate she knows something about Shinichi's past.

<spoiler>
Conan clears Makoto's name through Sleeping Kogorou, and identifies the colleague of the victim '''Sunami Masaki''' as the culprit. Sunami locked the door and used kerosene candles to burn the oxygen out of the porta-potty, causing the water from the rain to fill in and rise, drowning the victim. Sunami's motive was to avenge her best friend's, who was Michiko's younger sister, death. Her best friend's goodbye text wasn't about eloping, but of double suicide by drowning, and Tanpa let her die because he became scared, so Sunami drowned him. Sera's other brother is texting her the answers to the case and asks her questions about Conan, arousing her curiosity of him.

Conan and the Detective Boys run into Naeko Miike and Yumi Miyamoto, who were talking about Yumi's ex-boyfriend.
Naeko Miike shortly receives a call from her acquaintance, Sakurako Yonehara, about a dead body.

==== Part 1 ====
When the police arrive on the scene, the case seems to be a suicide, but Conan points out that the ripped-out suicide note does not match the ripped page of the victim's notebook. Also, the note is signed with the victim's full name, while all of her other notes were signed with only her first name. Thus, the case develops into a possible murder.

==== Part 2 ====
Conan pieces all the clues together: the suicide note with somewhat strange contents, Shukichi Haneda mentioning a "well-prepared move", same phone models of all the family members, the trick behind the bedroom door closing upon Sakurako and the victim's husband entering the room, and the victim's phone on the floor.

Conan and the Detective Boys are playing soccer when they meet the calico cat, Taii, who frequently comes to Café Poirot for food. They follow the cat into a refrigerated delivery truck where the kids stumble on to a body in a box. The drivers killed the man and are doing their route to establish an alibi as the cold will alter the time of death.

Although the Detective Boys have not been discovered by the delivery men, the cold begins to affect them, as Mitsuhiko even collapses from giving his sweater to Haibara.

As they reach Professor Agasa's house, Conan alters the parcel to say Shinichi Kudo's residence, where Subaru is staying. The altered parcel covertly tells Subaru the situation so he comes down. Bourbon later arrives and saves the kids from the delivery men, and Subaru hides in the shadows observing him.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Conan and the Detective Boys are playing soccer when they meet the calico cat, Taii, who frequently comes to Café Poirot for food. They follow the cat into a refrigerated delivery truck where the kids stumble on to a body in a box. The drivers killed the man and are doing their route to establish an alibi as the cold will alter the time of death.

==== Part 2 ====
Although the Detective Boys have not been discovered by the delivery men, the cold begins to affect them, as Mitsuhiko even collapses from giving his sweater to Haibara. Conan uses a receipt to write a message and releases Taii from the truck with it stuck in its collar, hoping that Bourbon will find it and realize what is going on.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler> Conan puts a note of the cat knowing it will return to Azusa where Amuro (Bourbon) will understand the meaning and rescue them. As they reach Professor Agasa's house, Conan alters the parcel to say Shinichi Kudo's residence, where Subaru is staying. The altered parcel covertly tells Subaru the situation so he comes down. Bourbon later arrives and saves the kids from the delivery men, and Subaru hides in the shadows observing him.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan knocks Sonoko down with his Stun-Gun Wristwatch accidentally which he was targeting for Kogoro when Ran suddenly hugged him from behind. Conan then goes ahead with solving the case as Sonoko instead of Kogoro. Conan as Sonoko's voice then says that the turtle wasn't stolen but has been vanished out of sight.

Conan askes for Kogoro's lighter and asks him to drop into the tank, from right above, behind the plate. Kogoro notices that it didn't fall which he later sees is because the lighter is stuck at the plate. According to Sera, it is due to a really strong magnet that the lighter got stuck at the plate. Kogoro and Ginzo doesn't believe that the turtle disappeared from only the magnet. Nakamori says that the turtle has a gold necklace which isn't attracted to gold which that thing that would stick is the necklace clasp.

According to Conan: If the diamonds that was around the belly of the turtle synthetic diamonds, it would maybe stick to the magnet. If someone created synthetic diamonds, sometimes that iron in the solvent into the crystal as a inclusion.

The turtle was swimming in the tank which that it was impossible to hold the crystal in place simply by magnetism, but the plate had enough strength and something was used to attract the turtle with it.

Kogoro sees that his lighter is stuck against the plate which he also have noticed that it has been covered in glue. Nakamori wonders how Kid got the turtle up unto the plate.

Conan said that Kid used bait, It is known that Kid uses little iron dust around the turtle's food and it was spread around the tank so that it was on the plague which that the turtle's high acute sense of smell has been risen up from the bottom of the tank to float beside the glass.

The device that was used to spread the bait came from the chandelier. It was set on motion when the target covered up the tank. The length of the turtle is around 10cm and a plate with a large size could easily hide the turtle behind it.

Nakamori later figured out the the turtle must still stay behind the plate, which he also thinks that something like that is impossible. Conan as Sonoko's voice then explains that there is someone who didn't have a body inspection, which Ran thinks that it she was the one, but Conan said that the turtle would easily. Conan as Sonoko's voice then says that Jirokichi has the turtle. Nakamori inspects the inside of Jirokichi's jacket which turn out to be true. Jirokichi then tells Nakamori that he has a explanation why he hidden the turtle. Conan as Sonoko's voice then tells that it is the card that Kid send him after the heist with the true text:

"I can't imagine that a turtle covered in synthetic diamonds that got stuck to a magnet is carrying the Blush Mermaid and the name of the turtle is Poseidon, like the sea god from Greek myths. But the owner who was a Italian actress should have named the turtle Neptune after the sea god of the roman myths. If you don't want it known that you spent a small fortune buying a dubious jeweled turtle, then it would be wise if you remove it discretely."

So Kid knew the Blush Mermaid was a fake, and used magnets for his trick.

It is all true what Conan said through Sonoko. Nakamori figured out the reason why Jirokichi was constantly telling them to wrap things up. Kogoro then ask Sonoko what has happened to Kaito Kid. Conan as Sonoko's voice then says that Kid has been escaped alongside with the crowd pushing around the entrance.

While going back Conan privately exposes Kaitou Kid who is under the disguise of Masumi Sera. When Kid asks how did he know, Conan tells him that it was because of the magnet and that he was holding the magnet with him and the trick wouldn't work unless he split everyone into groups to do a body search. Conan also notes the fact that Kid was surprised when Ran and Sonoko wanted to group with him was because from above he thought Sera was a boy. When Kid surprisingly asks that Sera was a girl. Conan says yes but let Kid go because of the help he gave them during the mystery train case by disguising as Shiho Miyano. Conan comments that only he will forgive him and referring to Sera, who running in her underpants kicks Kid in the face but before she can catch him he escapes with his hang glider. Sera then tells them that she had gone to the men's restroom where Kid knocked her out with a stun-gun because the ladies room was filled and that she wanted to get it done. Conan secretly comments that he understands why Kid made a mistake. Sera then asks Ran whether she say any strange man when she picked up her hat to which Ran asks her why is the hat so special to her. She says that her "late brother" (referring to Shuichi Akai) used to wear hats like these and she is wearing them to copy Akai. So Sera mentions that her hat resembles her late eldest brother's hat and it has the same feel as if he wore it ever since they left the Bell Tree Express Train. She also comments on how the hat Ran found had the same wear of shape that he had in his hats but that there is no way it could be possible.

=== Situation ===
The case begins with a memory from the past, in which Shinichi's father, Yusaku Kudo, is shown telling Inspector Megure and Mouri Kogoro (who was a police officer at the time) that there is no need to worry about serial murder despite the ominous "death" character written next to the victim's body.

==== Part 1 ====
Ran, Sonoko, and Sera are discussing the case abandoned by Yusaku Kudo when they come across people crowded around a dead body. The "death" character was written facing the body, indicating a possible murder. At Shinichi's house, Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Sera, and Subaru inspect the photo from the case in the past; when the "death" characters in both cases are found to be similar, they are left wondering how Yusaku Kudo could have determined that the case was not a murder.

<spoiler>
Takefumi Kooriyama's death was an '''accident'''. The death characters were coincidental flukes made by candies and a thumb edge in Kooriyama's case was place by the Ryousuke Nishimura, and coins, the edge of a wallet, and a cigarette in Isao's case. Megure correctly ruled '''Isao's case''' to be a '''theft''' as some thieves stole Isao's wallet post-mortem. The thieves returned to the crime scene and attacked Sera, Ran, Sonoko, and Conan to cover their involvement in the theft. A little Jeet Kun Do, karate, and a well placed soccer ball dispatched the thieves easily. Sera's thoughts at the end of the episode seem to indicate she knows something about Shinichi's past.

'''{{nihongo|Shukichi Haneda|羽田秀𠮷|Haneda Shūkichi}}''' is a professional [[wikipedia:Shogi|shogi]] player, as well as the former boyfriend of [[Yumi Miyamoto]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

==Background==
Not much is known about Shukichi Haneda's past and background before he met Yumi, except that they met for the first time on a train where he overslept and Yumi waited for him even though she had to miss her stop.<ref name="titles">[[Volume 85|Volume 85, File 900, page 6: "Check"]]</ref> He also lived a rather wealthy life.<ref>[[Volume 80|Volume 80, File 847, page 3: "Until I Collect All Seven"]]</ref> It's also unknown when Haneda started his career as a professional shogi player, but he had already attained the prestigious [[wikipedia: Meijin (shogi)|Meijin]] title back when he was still dating Yumi, without the latter knowing.<ref>[[Volume 80|Volume 80, File 849, page 15: "Taikou's Optimal Moves"]]</ref>

Haneda's main objective is to prove himself worthy as Yumi's boyfriend by secretly winning all seven shogi titles, despite having technically been dumped by her. He has finally achieved all seven titles in the most recent Shogi match.<ref name="titles">[[Volume 85|Volume 85, File 902, page 16: "The Brilliant Move"]]</ref> He is also widely known by the name of '''{{nihongo|Taiko Meijin|太閤名人|Taikō Meijin}}''' in the world of shogi.

Haneda currently lives in an apartment at {{nihongo|Chateau Beika Condo|シャトー　米花　マンション|Shatō Beika Manshon}}, the same place as when he was still going out with Yumi.<ref>The anime version (Episode 731) shows the number of his locker as 1801.</ref>

==Personality==
Haneda has a very cheerful and somewhat childish personality, much to Yumi's annoyance. In front of Yumi and other characters, he rarely suppresses his emotions, which can range from overly joyful when meeting his former girlfriend, to hilariously disapproving when the latter announces that their relationship was over. Despite this, Haneda does show a calmer and more serious side during some situations, most notably when he is making his deductions or when he appears in front of the media.

On the other hand, Haneda is quite confident and proud of his excellent memory, as seen when he proclaims himself the best memorizer in the world.<ref name="memory">[[Volume 80|Volume 80, File 847, page 14: "Until I Collect All Seven"]]</ref> From his goal of achieving all seven shogi titles to win Yumi's admiration, he also shows himself as a person with great patience and determination.

==Appearance==
Shukichi Haneda is perhaps the most characterized by his hair, which sticks up in the back like a bed head. He is often shown wearing glasses, usually except when he is playing shogi or is being interviewed as a professional shogi player.

==Abilitites and Skills==
===Shogi===
Shukichi Haneda has won numerous shogi matches and earned himself the title Meijin, which, along with [[wikipedia:Ryu-oh|Ryu-oh]], is the most prestigious title in the professional shogi titleholder system;<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meijin_(shogi)</ref><ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryu-oh</ref> as well as attained three other titles.<ref name="titles" />

===Deductive abilities===
As a professional shoji player, Shukichi Haneda is very intelligent. He was shown to be able to participate in solving a murder case next to his house, where he effectively figured out the trick behind the victim's suicide note, as well as the culprit's identity.

===Memorization===
Haneda is extremely skillful at memorizing, as shown when he managed to remember the code written on [[Sakurako]]'s paper despite having only seen it for a very short amount of time. He also claims to be the best in this field.<ref name="memory" />

==Plot overview==
===Missing Classmate Case (Manga: [[Volume 49|506]]; Anime: [[Super Secret of the Road to School|427]]) ===
Haneda was first mentioned by Yumi to the Detective Boys when the children were looking for a missing schoolgirl. She described him as someone with a good-looking face but childish personality. She also mentioned having "dumped him in a bad way".<ref>[[Volume 49|Volume 49, File 506, page 11: "The Secret Path to School"]]</ref>

===Yumi's Love Story (Manga: [[Volume_80|847-849]]; Anime: [[The Ex-Boyfriend Living Next to a Crime Scene|731-732]])===
Yumi recalls her moment with Haneda before they broke up. When she proposed that they should end their relationship as she would become a police officer, Haneda handed her an envelope and told her not to open until he "collect all seven", referring to the shogi titles. However, he hasn't contacted her ever since then, so she officially broke up with him.

When a murder takes place at his neighboring apartment, Haneda becomes one of the prime suspects as he knows the code to acquire the spare key. That is when he finally meets his ex-girlfriend again after all those years. He cheerfully introduces to everyone about their relationship, only to be denied by Yumi.

As the investigation progresses, Haneda perceives the true nature of the victim's suicide note, calling it "a well prepared move", which turns out to be an important clue. Later, when asked about his own alibi, Haneda refuses to answer, much to Yumi's annoyance. However, he mentally tells her not to be worried, while confidently looking at Conan, who's already figured out the truth about the case.

Conan, with Haneda's helps, points out that the culprit is the victim's husband. Haneda explains that the suicide note was actually written four years ago, on an airplane that almost crashed; the culprit used it to fake her death as a suicide. He also reveals that he has suspected the husband since he saw the note, and his theory was confirmed when he overheard his conversation with his son.

At the end of the case, it is revealed that Haneda is in fact the famous shogi player called "Taiko Meijin", and was having a match when the crime occured. He kept quiet about it so Yumi couldn't find out about his occupation. It's also revealed that the reason he's so determined in winning all seven shogi titles is because when the two were still dating, Yumi used to express her admiration for a sumo champion who had won six tournaments in a row.

===Shogi Tournament (Manga: [[Volume_85|899-902]])===

Haneda won important matches to help him win his 4th, 5th and 6th titles. Before he begins his title match to become only the 2nd Nanakanou (Shogi player with all 7 titles) in history, he receives a letter. He opens the letter only to find out that Yumi was kidnapped and is trapped in a well. The letter contains clues pertaining to the whereabouts of Yumi. He arrives at the location but cannot find the well. Upon the arrival, he bumps into Conan and the Detective Boys who immediately ask the real purpose of Haneda. The match is postponed as Haneda attempts to win both the battle of Shogi and love.

==Relationships analysis==
===Yumi Miyamoto===
Shukichi Haneda and [[Yumi Miyamoto]] first met when the latter was still in college, and had begun dating since then until Yumi eventually broke up with him. Despite this, it appears they still have feelings for each other. Haneda doesn't seem to care about the break-up and still thinks of her as his girlfriend, as if nothing has happened. Yumi, on the other hand, clearly shows her concern when she hears that someone from the condo he's living is dead, and when he refuses to provide his alibi. The fact that they still call the other by their pet names further hints at this. They even exchanged a kiss before he continued his Shogi match to win the seventh title.

So far, Yumi still hasn't found out that Haneda is actually a famous shogi player.

===Conan Edogawa===
Haneda seems to have noticed [[Conan]]'s intelligence and trusted his deductions the first time they met.

==Name origin==
His full name Shukichi Haneda (羽田秀𠮷) and the in-story nickname Taiko (太閤) are both references to [[wikipedia:Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] (豊臣秀吉), who was later renamed Hashiba Hideyoshi (羽柴秀吉).<ref>[[Volume 80|Volume 80, File 849, page 15: "Taikou's Optimal Moves"]]</ref> Additionally, Haneda's "Hane" (羽) also comes from [[wikipedia:Yoshiharu Habu|Yoshiharu Habu]] ('''羽'''生善治), a real-life professional shogi player who has won all seven titles.<ref>http://ddnavi.com/news/191132/ Translation: http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/?p=316639</ref>

Shinichi took the appearance of his six or seven year old self after being exposed to a prototype poison called [[APTX 4869]], which he had been forced to swallow by two men in black later revealed to be members of the [[Black Organization]].<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]]</ref> The poison deaged Shinichi's entire body except for his nervous system and therefore he still has the personality, memories, and incredible deductive ability of his teenage self. Conan's goal is to hunt down the Black Organization and have them arrested for their crimes, as well as find an antidote to the APTX 4869. To do so he plans to make the washout detective [[Kogoro Mouri]] famous in hopes of attracting cases related to the Black Organization.

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

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

[[Image:APTX 4869 given to Shinichi.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi being drugged.]]
=== The Transformation ===
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi brings his friend [[Ran Mouri]] to [[Setting#Tropical_Land|Tropical Land]], a local theme park, to celebrate her victory in the Metropolitan Karate Championships. He later ends up solving a murder case there.<ref name="e1" /> As they are leaving, Shinichi witnesses a suspicious exchange between an unknown business man and [[Vodka|a man in black]] in a secluded area by the ferris wheel. While spying on the suspicious men, Shinichi does not notice [[Gin|another man in black]], who knocks him out from behind and forces him to swallow a new experimental poison known as [[APTX 4869]]. They then leave him to die. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurred. Shinichi's body shrunk back to that of his six-year-old self.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 59: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> In desperation and confusion, Shinichi heads back to his house and runs into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. After a few attempts at proving he's in fact Shinichi, he finally succeeds in convincing the Professor. The latter warns him he must keep his identity secret as the [[Black Organization]] will surely try to kill him and others associated with him should they learn the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>
{{clearleft}}

=== Taking a new identity ===
Shinichi comes up with the alias Conan Edogawa using the mystery author names [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Edogawa Rampo|'''''Edogawa''''' Rampo]] and pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's who then places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2" /> Ran's father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], owns a Detective Agency which may provide a chance for Conan to run into a case involving the Black Organization. However, Kogoro is a terrible detective with little credibility. Using helpful gadgets that Agasa makes, Conan sets out to improve Kogoro's detective reputation by solving cases for him while also hiding the truth that Conan is really the one solving cases. By knocking Kogoro out at crime scenes with a fast-acting [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer]] and using a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice modulator]] to relay deductions in Kogoro's voice, Conan creates 'Sleeping Kogoro'. The conceited Kogoro enjoys his newfound reputation and the money it brings in so much that he doesn't question why he is suddenly passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep.

=== Creation of the Detective Boys ===
Conan enrolls at [[Teitan Elementary]] to further protect his identity and is befriended by classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], who create the ''[[Detective Boys]]'' not long after.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case|Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref>

[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|200px|thumb|Conan stuns Kogoro with his wristwatch, ready to solve a case!]]
=== Solving cases ===
As Conan, Shinichi helps Ran's father solve cases by putting him to sleep and simulating Kogoro's voice using the special bowtie gadget Professor Agasa made for him. He also spends a good amount of time with his Detective Boys fellows and solves many small cases with them and sometimes in the company of Professor Agasa. In some situations, when there's only Ran, Sonoko, and himself, he will use Sonoko instead to solve the case at hand. Because of that, Sonoko eventually becomes another moderately well-known "sleeping" detective, although her reputation is only known to the local police investigation team and Sonoko's friends. In much later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterwards that Shinichi told him what to say.

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

[[File:Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.jpg|thumb|175px|left|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]
Conan remains very close to Ran, who in return is very protective of him. However, because Ran is unaware of his true identity, Conan often finds himself in awkward situations with her, such as when she confessed her feeling for Shinichi to him and when she made him bathe with her at a hot spring.

Conan's intelligence remains intact even though he is shrunk to a child. As Shinichi, his deductive ability earned him the monikers "[[Wikipedia:Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and "Savior of the Japanese police force". Conan maintains an extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases and escape tricky situations. Conan tries to speak in a child-like manner when dealing with adults, but he often gets caught up in the current case and begins speaking like an adult, referring to advanced topics and using reasoning much too complex for a normal child. When this happens, he often tries to pass it off as "something [he] heard on TV" or "taught by uncle Kogoro/professor Agasa/Shinichi-niichan". [[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Conan whispers to [[Detective Chiba|Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]] Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he called out for talking about either subject in too much detail, he tries to escape suspicion by saying it was something Shinichi told him about. Although as the series has progressed the adults around him have become more used to his "being quite smart for a child", causing him to behave more like himself around them, he still tries to pass as a normal child. The only police officers with whom Conan can speak in a professional manner are the [[FBI]], especially [[Jodie Starling]], [[Shuichi Akai]], [[James Black]], and Inspector [[Kansuke Yamato]] of the Nagano Police, all of whom suspect that there is more to Conan than meets the eye.

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

== Appearance ==
[[Image:Conan full face.png|right|150px]]
Conan has dark brown hair which mostly hangs downwards just above his blue eyes, but there are also a few strands that stick up at the front and back of his head. Conan's usual outfit consists of a blue suit jacket with a single button and a pair of shorts, red trainers and white socks, even though he has taken to wearing more casual clothing as time goes on. He also wears a red bowtie and his dad's old glasses. Both these items were later [[Gadgets|specifically modified]] by Professor Agasa to include a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice changer]], [[Button Speaker|microphone]], and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|homing device]], to aid in Conan in his cases. His [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|red shoes]] have also been modified to harness electric and magnetic fields to stimulate pressure points on Conan's foot, greatly enhancing his kicking power.

==Skills==
:''See also: [[Shinichi Kudo#Skills|Shinichi's Skills]]''
=== Detective skills ===
All of Shinichi's detective skills carry over to his Conan form, although Conan does not the have the reputation Shinichi had. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to remember every detail of an investigation or other topics he cares about, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Conan's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony that other people miss, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Conan has extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases; something he likely acquired from his incessant reading in his "first childhood". There are only few people like [[Heiji]], [[Kaito]] and [[Hakuba]] who are as intelligent as Conan.

As a child, Conan can attract less suspicion while investigating crime scenes, get away with searching people's personal property, and ask innocent questions without setting suspects on guard, although it comes with the drawback of not having Shinichi's authority or reputation. He is also shown able to read lips.<ref>[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]</ref>

=== Athletic ability ===
Conan is just as skilled as Shinichi in soccer, but a lot less powerful because he only has the strength of a young child. To make up for this, Conan uses Agasa's Power-enhancing kick shoes. Conan uses signature, powerful precision kick to knock out criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Like Shinichi, Conan's kick is accurate over 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, snowboarding, and ice-skating.

Conan also has some skill with firearms despite the recoil being much more severe for a child's body. He shoots out a bus window during a bus hijacking, and precisely grazes Ran's leg to render her useless as a hostage in the second movie.

Conan's nimbleness is especially noticeable in the non-[[canon]] movies. For example, in the sixth movie, Conan is seen to fight with various antagonists, and he even holds his own against Jack the Ripper, a notorious serial killer who bests even Ran in combat. In the fourteenth movie, Conan does a back flip on his skateboard in order to avoid being killed by the blimp's hijackers. Conan shows a proclivity for skateboarding. In the movies and anime, Conan can easily perform very complicated tricks and dodges with his skateboard at high speed.

=== First Aid ===
Conan has repeatedly dispensed first aid to stabbed/shot/cardiac/poisoned/hurt victims before the rescuers arrive.

=== Music ===
[[Image:Conan_singing.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Conan sings in the Karaoke.]]
Conan 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, Conan 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. In Episode 11: The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, he knows that the piano is in tune and deciphers a message at the end just by listening to the notes that are played. Haibara directly described Shinichi Kudo as having perfect pitch in the last scenes of the twelfth Detective Conan movie, [[Full Score of Fear]]. He also manages to replicate and sing dial tones for a phone, showing that the reason he can't sing is because he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 (Episode 614), Conan stated he isn't very knowledgeable about music but identified the untuned piano key whereupon Haibara joked about his sharp ears despite being tone-deaf.

Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in movie 12 of the '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."

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

== Plot overview ==

=== Initial pursuit ===
After Shinichi becomes Conan, he sets out to find the men in black almost immediately. At the suggestion of Agasa, he moves in with Ran and Kogoro, hoping that cases related to them come by. Pretty soon, a case involving a woman name [[Akemi Miyano]] (using the alias Masami Hirota) appears. Akemi robs a bank for the men in black in the hopes that they will free her sister from their organization. Conan is unable to realize the case's connection to the organization until after the men in black have shot Akemi and left her for dead rather than give up such a valuable asset as her sister. In her dying moments, Akemi warns Conan of the danger of the organization.<ref>[[Volume 2#File 013 - The Missing Man|Volume 2, Files 13-16: "The Missing Man"]]</ref>

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

At a game convention, Conan meets a third man in black named [[Tequila]], only to have him die in an explosion meant for someone else. Conan learns about a meeting place from the murderer, but just before he reaches the bar an explosion set by the men in black destroys the place entirely, leaving Conan without any leads.

=== Introduction of Ai Haibara===

Later on, Conan meets child-size biochemist [[Ai Haibara]], the creator of [[APTX 4869]]. Ai grew up within the Black Organization as [[Shiho Miyano]] and is a former member of it along with her deceased sister, Akemi.<ref name="f178">[[Volume_18#File 178 - Code Name Sherry|Volume 18, File 178: "Code Name Sherry"]]</ref> After Akemi died, Shiho refused to keep working and took APTX 4869 to die before the Black Organization could execute her. Instead, she shrinks like Conan did and is adopted by Agasa so she and Conan can work together to find a cure and catch the men in black.

=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===

=== After Vermouth ===

=== The Phone Number of 'That Person' ===
After Conan solves a [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius#Postlude|case]] of serial murders, the [[Kyosuke Haga#Friends and acquaintances|culprit]] tells Conan that the tune created by dialing the phone number for the Leader of the Black Organization is the song "[[Seven Children]]".

=== Returning Back to Shinichi ===
Throughout the series Conan has returned back to Shinichi several times, but never permanently.
==== East versus West Detective ====
First he temporary returns to normal after drinking alcohol while infected with a cold.<ref>[[Diplomat Murder Case|Episodes 48-49: Diplomat Murder Case]].</ref>
He quickly turns back into Conan after solving the case and develops an immunity to the alcohol.

==== Desperate revival ====
{{Main|Antidote (Prototype)}}
Haibara invented an [[Antidote (prototype)|antidote]] prototype for the APTX 4869, and Conan first uses it in [[Volume 26]] to conceal his identity and allay Ran's suspicions that he is Shinichi. Haibara disguises as Conan and appears in front of Ran with Shinichi in order to put Ran's fears to rest.<ref>[[The Desperate Revival|Episodes 191-193: The Desperate Revival]].</ref><ref>[[Volume 26#File 256 - Concealed Truth|Volume 26, Files 256-258: "Concealed Truth"]]</ref>

==== Shiragami case ====
The antidote prototype is again taken, this time accidentally in place of cough syrup. It wears off 24 hours later, with Haibara giving him another one to protect his identity. This time it wears off in a shortened 4 hours, once again interrupting his chance to confess his feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 647 - The Lost Memory|Volumes 62-63, Files 647-654: "The Lost Memory"]]</ref>

==== London Arc ====
During the Holmes' Revelation arc in London, Conan takes an antidote so he can go overseas, because "Conan Edogawa" does not exist in real life, and has no passport. Ran quickly deduces that Shinichi is in London as well. She asks some Londoners about a Japanese boy, and they give her directions, without specifying it was actually a six-year-old they saw. In a phone booth, Conan takes the pill originally meant for his return trip to Tokyo in order to conceal his identity from Ran. During this time, he manages to confess his feelings to her. Luckily for Conan, Haibara asks Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo, his parents, to go to London and give him a third pill, as she guessed he would have used his spare one for Ran.<ref>[[Holmes' Revelation|Episode 616-621]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 71#Following Holmes|Volume 71, Files 743-751]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 72#Following Holmes|Volume 72, File 752]]</ref>

== Relationships analysis ==

=== Family & Friends ===

[[File:Ran and Conan.jpg|thumb|Ran holding Conan.]]
====Ran Mouri====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
Although they are romantic interests as Shinichi and Ran, Conan and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share a brother/sister kind of relationship. Ran plays a nurturing protective role and treats Conan like a child version of Shinichi. They do a lot of activities together, such as swimming, going to the movies or festivals, and more. Ran and Conan both look out for each other's wellbeing. Ran stands up for Conan during Kogoro's outbursts and destroys any criminals seeking to inflict harm on Conan with her karate. Conan lends an ear and advice when Ran is in an difficult situation or needs to vent, and he comforts and encourages her when she is feeling down, especially about Shinichi being away for so long. It is even likely that Ran unconsciously knows that Conan actually ''is'' Shinichi, even though she seems reluctant to follow that notion.<ref>Ran told Conan that if only he is Shinichi on Episode 308.</ref>
{{clearright}}

[[File:Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.jpg|thumb|Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.]]
====Kogoro Mouri====
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and Conan most often see each other as nuisances. Conan dislikes Kogoro's usually poor detective ability and case handling, slovenly personal habits, and overinflated ego. Kogoro's deduction doesn't seem to improve so Conan almost always needs to knock Kogoro out when he starts spouting off incorrect theories. Although in most cases Conan merely sees Kogoro as a drunk idiot, he often is impressed when Kogoro gets serious and actually gets the case right, so he will allow the "non-sleeping Kogoro" to take the spotlight. Kogoro views Conan as a freeloader who constantly gets underfoot and never fails to insinuate himself at cases, "interfere" with the scene, and pipe up with childish observations that consistently ruin Kogoro's deductions.
{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
Conan's parents, [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], like to push their child towards becoming an even better detective. They enjoy giving him challenges, typically without letting Conan know who's giving them; once they disguised as Black Organization operatives trying to kill Shinichi Kudo in order to show Conan how dangerous his goals are.

Yukiko loves to meddle in Conan's (and Shinichi's) love life, as she will often make allusions regarding Ran being her possible future daughter-in-law and Ai or Ayumi having feelings for Conan. He doesn't usually pay much attention to them. Once she told Conan that Ai has romantic feelings for him because she looked at him ten times in a short span of time, saying that the only time a girl would do that is if she likes the boy or the boy has something on his face. Conan simply pushes it off as Ai checking on her "lab mouse," but at night, in bed, Conan asks Ai if he has something on his face.

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

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[image:Agasa_and_Conan_investigating.png|thumb|right|Conan investigates with Agasa.]]
Conan treats [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] as a member of his own family, like an uncle. Due to the fact that they both share the secret behind Shinichi's transformation and knowledge about the Black Organization, Conan often comes to him when in trouble or seeking for help. Agasa's willingness to help whenever possible makes Shinichi's life as Conan more convenient. He was the one who created most of Conan's gadgets, including his power shoes and tracking glasses. He willingly plays Conan's case solving mouthpiece when Conan lacks someone else convenient to use. When Conan needs something, such as information regarding past cases, he usually asks Agasa to get it. Agasa often acts as a chauffeur because he is trustworthy and the only adult with a car regularly available.

Agasa often worries about Shinichi, especially when he thinks Shinichi might be getting over his head. Agasa almost always responds positively to Shinichi's requests, but doesn't like it when Shinichi hides the reasons for it, especially if it is dangerous.
{{clearright}}

====Heiji Hattori====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo bests Heiji in their first case. However, after discovering Conan's real identity, Heiji starts to act like an older brother towards him, much to the annoyance of Conan. Since then, the two have become closest friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They tend to stick together on cases, although sometimes this is because Heiji forces the less enthusiastic Conan to come along. While fond of Heiji as a fellow detective he can relate to, Conan finds Heiji's antics occasionally annoying. Much to Conan's chagrin, Heiji even convinces others that Conan is his disciple. Conan especially dislikes Heiji's dangerous habit of unthinkingly calling Conan 'Kudo' when others are present.

Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better , 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.
{{clearright}}

=== Detective Boys ===
[[File:Conan and Ai.jpg|thumb|Conan and Haibara investigating]]
====Ai Haibara====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}
[[Ai Haibara]] is the third girl that seems to have somewhat romantic feelings for Conan/Shinichi, although she never truly admits it; indeed, it is a mystery just exactly what she feels for him, whether friendship or otherwise. Some people, such as [[Yukiko Kudo|Conan's mother]], have stated that she has feelings for Conan. It could be said that, because of their almost equal level of intelligence as well as similarities in their pasts (i.e. both victims of the [[APTX 4869]]), she finds it easier to talk to him. She certainly has no qualms about teasing him, and is more than willing to poke a hole in his ego. While Conan initially was disgusted by Ai's ties to the Black Organization, especially with how she introduced herself, seeing her remorse and pain has improved his opinion of her. He is repeatedly protective of her and tries to give her hope when her fear of the men in black is overwhelming.
{{clearright}}

====Ayumi Yoshida====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ayumi Yoshida}}
Conan grows to respect the little girl in his class for her sharp wit and observational skills, along with the other members of the [[Detective Boys]]. [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] in turn clearly seems to like Conan and isn't aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of him because of this.

====Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima====
[[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] sees Conan as a role model, someone he looks up to. [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and more so Mitsuhiko, are often impressed by Conan's fast knowledge and incredible deduction skills. However, they both become quite jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi shows gestures of affection towards him (usually a small kiss on the cheek). While Conan initially only tolerated their presence, he has grown fond of them despite their relative immaturity.

=== Law enforcement ===
[[File:Megure_and_Conan_Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Megure waffles between treating Conan like a child and a detective]]
====Police====
With the exception of a few inspectors, most listen to the little clues that Conan points out. After a while, Conan gets the attention of the whole Tokyo police department for noticing things even pros miss. [[Wataru Takagi]] in particular has taken to trusting Conan completely and doing whatever Conan asks him to without hesitation.

====FBI====
The FBI contains most of the few people that Conan acts normally around despite them not knowing his identity. Conan seems to place trust in the FBI, and occasionally helps in their operations.

====Jodie Starling====
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] nicknamed Conan "Cool Kid" and Conan (despite being wary when he first met her) now places complete trust in Jodie. Jodie has also called Conan to share what would normally be classified information, notifying him of a new Black Organization member, Bourbon.

====Shuichi Akai / Subaru Okiya====
[[Shuichi Akai|Akai]] has been shown to respect Conan's detective skills. It has been strongly implied in a [[Volume 78#File 824 - Mystery Train (Final_Destination)|recent plot line]] that Akai has [[Volume_77#Cold_Case|figured out]] that Conan and Shinichi are one and the same. Conan once says to Akai, "I'm glad you're an ally."

=== Black Organization ===
====Gin and Vodka====
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's interfering with their operations, Gin has been shown to be curious who "that guy" is, referring to Conan. In the movie [[The Raven Chaser]], Gin tries to catch a glimpse of Conan's face from a helicopter, but fails when Conan successfully downs the helicopter. Conan seems to have a very bitter hatred towards them, and this only increases as more people are targeted by the Black Organization.

====Vermouth====
[[Vermouth]] seems to have great personal interest in Conan, referring to him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet'. She also protects Conan, probably because when she was disguising as a serial killer in New York she was saved by Conan (Shinichi at the time) and Ran. When the Organization plans on killing Kogoro, and later Conan, she strongly objects to a degree where Gin suspects whether Kogoro is related to Vermouth. Because of this, Conan does not react strongly when she is mentioned, as opposed to Haibara. He also seems to consider her less of a threat than the other members because he is able to bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

====Bourbon====
[[Tooru Amuro]] (codenamed Bourbon) has attached himself to the Mouri Detective Agency as Kogoro's "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person's showed up" when he learns Amuro will be joining Kogoro on cases. After learning of Amuro's membership in the Black Organization, though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near Ran. He's become more cautious and is somewhat confused by Amuro's helpful behavior, though he attempts to pretend nothing has changed. His bond with Amuro later seemed to increase when he learns that Amuro is actually an undercover operative from Japanese Secret Police when the two exchanges smile in Cafe Poirot.<ref>[[Volume 85#File 897 - Scarlet Truth|Volumes 85, File 897: "Scarlet Truth"]]</ref>

=== Others ===
====Kaitou Kid====
{{Main|Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba}}
Before being shrunk, Shinichi encountered [[Kaitou Kid]] once during the Clock Tower heist, though they did not meet face-to-face. In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi has become Conan, Kid disguises himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki family's Black Star pearl. When Conan corners him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid implies that he stole all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ends up being a bluff, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid in subsequent encounters. Conan stops Kid from escaping with the jewel often enough that Conan has gained reputation with the press as Kid's "natural enemy". In several instances Conan appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence, and seems excited by the chance to catch Kid again; appropriately, Kid seems to find Conan dangerous enough to warrant specific measures to keep him distracted.

Conan does not buy in to Kid's reputation as a mysterious, uncatchable phantom, saying once "He's only a thief that uses magic",<ref>Anime Episode 515: Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic</ref> and encouraging police officers that Kid is only a man and he can be arrested. 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, in that he doesn't try to find or catch the thief outside of heists. In several instances, when Kid does Conan a favor, such as saving Genta's life<ref>[[Big Adventure in the Eccentric Mansion]]</ref>, 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; in exchange for not giving Kid away on a train Conan has Kid face down the [[Black Organization]] in disguise, and because Kid narrowly escapes an explosion with his life, he says that Conan now owes ''him'' one.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"</ref>

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

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity. None of them have ever betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], [[Yusaku Kudo]], [[Yukiko Kudo]], [[Heiji Hattori]], and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] of the Black Organization also knows about Conan's secret. Later, in Episode 508 of the anime, [[Eisuke Hondou]] confirms Conan's identity as [[Shinichi Kudo]] straight from him. In manga chapter 812-814, [[Subaru Okiya]] ([[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise) confirms that Conan is Shinichi. [[Masumi Sera]] may also be suspicious that Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

The 3rd, 8th, and 14th movies also demonstrate that Kaitou Kid apparently knows Conan's identity and acts to protect it. However, this has yet to be backed up by the original artist, Gosho Aoyama, in the manga or (as would follow) the anime main series.

== Gadgets ==
{{main|Gadgets}}
Professor Agasa has made many gadgets for Conan, including a tranquilizer wristwatch, voice-modulating bow tie, kick-enhancing shoes, tracking/binocular glasses, stretchable suspenders, and a solar powered skateboard. Conan uses the first two regularly to create "Sleeping Kogoro", and the glasses and other gadgets to investigate cases or catch criminals. Agasa also created radio badges and watch flashlights Conan and the other Detective Boys.

== 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. Conan placed 3rd in the poll with 866 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. Shinichi/Conan placed 1st out of 10 with 30.46% of the votes cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.conan-movie.jp/camp_chara/camp15th_res.html|title=名探偵コナン「キャラクター人気投票」|date=2011|publisher=www.conan-movie.jp|accessdate=2011-08-12}}</ref>

*In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Conan placed 1st overall with 2,843 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Gosho Aoyama (and Shinichi, in the story) got the name 'Conan Edogawa' from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the famous Sherlock Holmes stories, and Edogawa Rampo, the pen name of Japanese mystery fiction writer Hirai Tarō. Hirai Tarō himself got the pen name "Edogawa Rampo" from a transliteration of "Edgar Allan Poe." Pronouncing Poe's name in a Japanese accent sounds like 'Edogawa Rampo.'

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho said Conan'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 Conan's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia:Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Conan's clothes were modeled after [[Wikipedia:Shichi-Go-San|Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) clothing]]. Young Gosho wore a bow tie and shorts in his Shichi-Go-San photographs. Gosho tries to restrict Conan's gadgets to what Conan can wear, but he has run out of ideas lately. The use of glasses as a disguise was modeled after [[Wikipedia:Superman|Superman]]'s Clark Kent. Conan'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>

== Trivia ==
* Conan's bad singing came to light as a joke after the anime began airing because Conan's voice actress [[Minami Takayama]] is a well-known singer. In [[Volume 15]] of the manga, Takayama herself is kidnapped and Conan, who sounds similar to her, tries to take her place at a concert. However, despite having similar voices, they sound completely different when it comes to singing.<ref>[[Volume 15|Volume 15, Files 144-146: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref>

* [[Image:EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]He owns two cellphones, the one he uses as Conan and one that he uses as Shinichi. He is also shown using different kinds of cellphones throughout the series.

* Conan often uses the expression "Ah-le-le?" when he is trying to point out a clue, something that is usually said by Japanese gradeschoolers. The expression was even said by Kogoro in Episode 317 out of irritation at Conan.

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

'''{{nihongo|Conan Edogawa|江戸川コナン|Edogawa Konan}}''' is the alias used by [[Shinichi Kudo]] in his shrunken form. Shinichi took the appearance of his six or seven year old self after being exposed to a prototype poison called [[APTX 4869]], which he had been forced to swallow by two men in black later revealed to be members of the [[Black Organization]].<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]]</ref> The poison deaged Shinichi's entire body except for his nervous system and therefore he still has the personality, memories, and incredible deductive ability of his teenage self. Conan's goal is to hunt down the Black Organization and have them arrested for their crimes, as well as find an antidote to the APTX 4869. To do so he plans to make the washout detective [[Kogoro Mouri]] famous in hopes of attracting cases related to the Black Organization.

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

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

[[Image:APTX 4869 given to Shinichi.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi being drugged.]]
=== The Transformation ===
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi brings his friend [[Ran Mouri]] to [[Setting#Tropical_Land|Tropical Land]], a local theme park, to celebrate her victory in the Metropolitan Karate Championships. He later ends up solving a murder case there.<ref name="e1" /> As they are leaving, Shinichi witnesses a suspicious exchange between an unknown business man and [[Vodka|a man in black]] in a secluded area by the ferris wheel. While spying on the suspicious men, Shinichi does not notice [[Gin|another man in black]], who knocks him out from behind and forces him to swallow a new experimental poison known as [[APTX 4869]]. They then leave him to die. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurred. Shinichi's body shrunk back to that of his six-year-old self.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 59: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> In desperation and confusion, Shinichi heads back to his house and runs into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. After a few attempts at proving he's in fact Shinichi, he finally succeeds in convincing the Professor. The latter warns him he must keep his identity secret as the [[Black Organization]] will surely try to kill him and others associated with him should they learn the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>
{{clearleft}}

=== Taking a new identity ===
Shinichi comes up with the alias Conan Edogawa using the mystery author names [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Edogawa Rampo|'''''Edogawa''''' Rampo]] and pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's who then places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2" /> Ran's father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], owns a Detective Agency which may provide a chance for Conan to run into a case involving the Black Organization. However, Kogoro is a terrible detective with little credibility. Using helpful gadgets that Agasa makes, Conan sets out to improve Kogoro's detective reputation by solving cases for him while also hiding the truth that Conan is really the one solving cases. By knocking Kogoro out at crime scenes with a fast-acting [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer]] and using a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice modulator]] to relay deductions in Kogoro's voice, Conan creates 'Sleeping Kogoro'. The conceited Kogoro enjoys his newfound reputation and the money it brings in so much that he doesn't question why he is suddenly passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep.

=== Creation of the Detective Boys ===
Conan enrolls at [[Teitan Elementary]] to further protect his identity and is befriended by classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], who create the ''[[Detective Boys]]'' not long after.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case|Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref>

[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|200px|thumb|Conan stuns Kogoro with his wristwatch, ready to solve a case!]]
=== Solving cases ===
As Conan, Shinichi helps Ran's father solve cases by putting him to sleep and simulating Kogoro's voice using the special bowtie gadget Professor Agasa made for him. He also spends a good amount of time with his Detective Boys fellows and solves many small cases with them and sometimes in the company of Professor Agasa. In some situations, when there's only Ran, Sonoko, and himself, he will use Sonoko instead to solve the case at hand. Because of that, Sonoko eventually becomes another moderately well-known "sleeping" detective, although her reputation is only known to the local police investigation team and Sonoko's friends. In much later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterwards that Shinichi told him what to say.

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

[[File:Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.jpg|thumb|175px|left|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]
Conan remains very close to Ran, who in return is very protective of him. However, because Ran is unaware of his true identity, Conan often finds himself in awkward situations with her, such as when she confessed her feeling for Shinichi to him and when she made him bathe with her at a hot spring.

Conan's intelligence remains intact even though he is shrunk to a child. As Shinichi, his deductive ability earned him the monikers "[[Wikipedia:Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and "Savior of the Japanese police force". Conan maintains an extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases and escape tricky situations. Conan tries to speak in a child-like manner when dealing with adults, but he often gets caught up in the current case and begins speaking like an adult, referring to advanced topics and using reasoning much too complex for a normal child. When this happens, he often tries to pass it off as "something [he] heard on TV" or "taught by uncle Kogoro/professor Agasa/Shinichi-niichan". [[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Conan whispers to [[Detective Chiba|Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]] Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he called out for talking about either subject in too much detail, he tries to escape suspicion by saying it was something Shinichi told him about. Although as the series has progressed the adults around him have become more used to his "being quite smart for a child", causing him to behave more like himself around them, he still tries to pass as a normal child. The only police officers with whom Conan can speak in a professional manner are the [[FBI]], especially [[Jodie Starling]], [[Shuichi Akai]], [[James Black]], and Inspector [[Kansuke Yamato]] of the Nagano Police, all of whom suspect that there is more to Conan than meets the eye.

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

== Appearance ==
[[Image:Conan full face.png|right|150px]]
Conan has dark brown hair which mostly hangs downwards just above his blue eyes, but there are also a few strands that stick up at the front and back of his head. Conan's usual outfit consists of a blue suit jacket with a single button and a pair of shorts, red trainers and white socks, even though he has taken to wearing more casual clothing as time goes on. He also wears a red bowtie and his dad's old glasses. Both these items were later [[Gadgets|specifically modified]] by Professor Agasa to include a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice changer]], [[Button Speaker|microphone]], and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|homing device]], to aid in Conan in his cases. His [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|red shoes]] have also been modified to harness electric and magnetic fields to stimulate pressure points on Conan's foot, greatly enhancing his kicking power.

==Skills==
:''See also: [[Shinichi Kudo#Skills|Shinichi's Skills]]''
=== Detective skills ===
All of Shinichi's detective skills carry over to his Conan form, although Conan does not the have the reputation Shinichi had. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to remember every detail of an investigation or other topics he cares about, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Conan's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony that other people miss, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Conan has extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases; something he likely acquired from his incessant reading in his "first childhood". There are only few people like [[Heiji]], [[Kaito]] and [[Hakuba]] who are as intelligent as Conan.

As a child, Conan can attract less suspicion while investigating crime scenes, get away with searching people's personal property, and ask innocent questions without setting suspects on guard, although it comes with the drawback of not having Shinichi's authority or reputation. He is also shown able to read lips.<ref>[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]</ref>

=== Athletic ability ===
Conan is just as skilled as Shinichi in soccer, but a lot less powerful because he only has the strength of a young child. To make up for this, Conan uses Agasa's Power-enhancing kick shoes. Conan uses signature, powerful precision kick to knock out criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Like Shinichi, Conan's kick is accurate over 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, snowboarding, and ice-skating.

Conan also has some skill with firearms despite the recoil being much more severe for a child's body. He shoots out a bus window during a bus hijacking, and precisely grazes Ran's leg to render her useless as a hostage in the second movie.

Conan's nimbleness is especially noticeable in the non-[[canon]] movies. For example, in the sixth movie, Conan is seen to fight with various antagonists, and he even holds his own against Jack the Ripper, a notorious serial killer who bests even Ran in combat. In the fourteenth movie, Conan does a back flip on his skateboard in order to avoid being killed by the blimp's hijackers. Conan shows a proclivity for skateboarding. In the movies and anime, Conan can easily perform very complicated tricks and dodges with his skateboard at high speed.

=== First Aid ===
Conan has repeatedly dispensed first aid to stabbed/shot/cardiac/poisoned/hurt victims before the rescuers arrive.

=== Music ===
[[Image:Conan_singing.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Conan sings in the Karaoke.]]
Conan 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, Conan 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. In Episode 11: The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, he knows that the piano is in tune and deciphers a message at the end just by listening to the notes that are played. Haibara directly described Shinichi Kudo as having perfect pitch in the last scenes of the twelfth Detective Conan movie, [[Full Score of Fear]]. He also manages to replicate and sing dial tones for a phone, showing that the reason he can't sing is because he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 (Episode 614), Conan stated he isn't very knowledgeable about music but identified the untuned piano key whereupon Haibara joked about his sharp ears despite being tone-deaf.

Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in movie 12 of the '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."

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

== Plot overview ==

=== Initial pursuit ===
After Shinichi becomes Conan, he sets out to find the men in black almost immediately. At the suggestion of Agasa, he moves in with Ran and Kogoro, hoping that cases related to them come by. Pretty soon, a case involving a woman name [[Akemi Miyano]] (using the alias Masami Hirota) appears. Akemi robs a bank for the men in black in the hopes that they will free her sister from their organization. Conan is unable to realize the case's connection to the organization until after the men in black have shot Akemi and left her for dead rather than give up such a valuable asset as her sister. In her dying moments, Akemi warns Conan of the danger of the organization.<ref>[[Volume 2#File 013 - The Missing Man|Volume 2, Files 13-16: "The Missing Man"]]</ref>

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

At a game convention, Conan meets a third man in black named [[Tequila]], only to have him die in an explosion meant for someone else. Conan learns about a meeting place from the murderer, but just before he reaches the bar an explosion set by the men in black destroys the place entirely, leaving Conan without any leads.

=== Introduction of Ai Haibara===

Later on, Conan meets child-size biochemist [[Ai Haibara]], the creator of [[APTX 4869]]. Ai grew up within the Black Organization as [[Shiho Miyano]] and is a former member of it along with her deceased sister, Akemi.<ref name="f178">[[Volume_18#File 178 - Code Name Sherry|Volume 18, File 178: "Code Name Sherry"]]</ref> After Akemi died, Shiho refused to keep working and took APTX 4869 to die before the Black Organization could execute her. Instead, she shrinks like Conan did and is adopted by Agasa so she and Conan can work together to find a cure and catch the men in black.

=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===

=== After Vermouth ===

=== The Phone Number of 'That Person' ===
After Conan solves a [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius#Postlude|case]] of serial murders, the [[Kyosuke Haga#Friends and acquaintances|culprit]] tells Conan that the tune created by dialing the phone number for the Leader of the Black Organization is the song "[[Seven Children]]".

=== Returning Back to Shinichi ===
Throughout the series Conan has returned back to Shinichi several times, but never permanently.
==== East versus West Detective ====
First he temporary returns to normal after drinking alcohol while infected with a cold.<ref>[[Diplomat Murder Case|Episodes 48-49: Diplomat Murder Case]].</ref>
He quickly turns back into Conan after solving the case and develops an immunity to the alcohol.

==== Desperate revival ====
{{Main|Antidote (Prototype)}}
Haibara invented an [[Antidote (prototype)|antidote]] prototype for the APTX 4869, and Conan first uses it in [[Volume 26]] to conceal his identity and allay Ran's suspicions that he is Shinichi. Haibara disguises as Conan and appears in front of Ran with Shinichi in order to put Ran's fears to rest.<ref>[[The Desperate Revival|Episodes 191-193: The Desperate Revival]].</ref><ref>[[Volume 26#File 256 - Concealed Truth|Volume 26, Files 256-258: "Concealed Truth"]]</ref>

==== Shiragami case ====
The antidote prototype is again taken, this time accidentally in place of cough syrup. It wears off 24 hours later, with Haibara giving him another one to protect his identity. This time it wears off in a shortened 4 hours, once again interrupting his chance to confess his feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 647 - The Lost Memory|Volumes 62-63, Files 647-654: "The Lost Memory"]]</ref>

==== London Arc ====
During the Holmes' Revelation arc in London, Conan takes an antidote so he can go overseas, because "Conan Edogawa" does not exist in real life, and has no passport. Ran quickly deduces that Shinichi is in London as well. She asks some Londoners about a Japanese boy, and they give her directions, without specifying it was actually a six-year-old they saw. In a phone booth, Conan takes the pill originally meant for his return trip to Tokyo in order to conceal his identity from Ran. During this time, he manages to confess his feelings to her. Luckily for Conan, Haibara asks Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo, his parents, to go to London and give him a third pill, as she guessed he would have used his spare one for Ran.<ref>[[Holmes' Revelation|Episode 616-621]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 71#Following Holmes|Volume 71, Files 743-751]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 72#Following Holmes|Volume 72, File 752]]</ref>

== Relationships analysis ==

=== Family & Friends ===

[[File:Ran and Conan.jpg|thumb|Ran holding Conan.]]
====Ran Mouri====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
Although they are romantic interests as Shinichi and Ran, Conan and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share a brother/sister kind of relationship. Ran plays a nurturing protective role and treats Conan like a child version of Shinichi. They do a lot of activities together, such as swimming, going to the movies or festivals, and more. Ran and Conan both look out for each other's wellbeing. Ran stands up for Conan during Kogoro's outbursts and destroys any criminals seeking to inflict harm on Conan with her karate. Conan lends an ear and advice when Ran is in an difficult situation or needs to vent, and he comforts and encourages her when she is feeling down, especially about Shinichi being away for so long. It is even likely that Ran unconsciously knows that Conan actually ''is'' Shinichi, even though she seems reluctant to follow that notion.<ref>Ran told Conan that if only he is Shinichi on Episode 308.</ref>
{{clearright}}

[[File:Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.jpg|thumb|Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.]]
====Kogoro Mouri====
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and Conan most often see each other as nuisances. Conan dislikes Kogoro's usually poor detective ability and case handling, slovenly personal habits, and overinflated ego. Kogoro's deduction doesn't seem to improve so Conan almost always needs to knock Kogoro out when he starts spouting off incorrect theories. Although in most cases Conan merely sees Kogoro as a drunk idiot, he often is impressed when Kogoro gets serious and actually gets the case right, so he will allow the "non-sleeping Kogoro" to take the spotlight. Kogoro views Conan as a freeloader who constantly gets underfoot and never fails to insinuate himself at cases, "interfere" with the scene, and pipe up with childish observations that consistently ruin Kogoro's deductions.
{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
Conan's parents, [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], like to push their child towards becoming an even better detective. They enjoy giving him challenges, typically without letting Conan know who's giving them; once they disguised as Black Organization operatives trying to kill Shinichi Kudo in order to show Conan how dangerous his goals are.

Yukiko loves to meddle in Conan's (and Shinichi's) love life, as she will often make allusions regarding Ran being her possible future daughter-in-law and Ai or Ayumi having feelings for Conan. He doesn't usually pay much attention to them. Once she told Conan that Ai has romantic feelings for him because she looked at him ten times in a short span of time, saying that the only time a girl would do that is if she likes the boy or the boy has something on his face. Conan simply pushes it off as Ai checking on her "lab mouse," but at night, in bed, Conan asks Ai if he has something on his face.

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

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[image:Agasa_and_Conan_investigating.png|thumb|right|Conan investigates with Agasa.]]
Conan treats [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] as a member of his own family, like an uncle. Due to the fact that they both share the secret behind Shinichi's transformation and knowledge about the Black Organization, Conan often comes to him when in trouble or seeking for help. Agasa's willingness to help whenever possible makes Shinichi's life as Conan more convenient. He was the one who created most of Conan's gadgets, including his power shoes and tracking glasses. He willingly plays Conan's case solving mouthpiece when Conan lacks someone else convenient to use. When Conan needs something, such as information regarding past cases, he usually asks Agasa to get it. Agasa often acts as a chauffeur because he is trustworthy and the only adult with a car regularly available.

Agasa often worries about Shinichi, especially when he thinks Shinichi might be getting over his head. Agasa almost always responds positively to Shinichi's requests, but doesn't like it when Shinichi hides the reasons for it, especially if it is dangerous.
{{clearright}}

====Heiji Hattori====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo bests Heiji in their first case. However, after discovering Conan's real identity, Heiji starts to act like an older brother towards him, much to the annoyance of Conan. Since then, the two have become closest friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They tend to stick together on cases, although sometimes this is because Heiji forces the less enthusiastic Conan to come along. While fond of Heiji as a fellow detective he can relate to, Conan finds Heiji's antics occasionally annoying. Much to Conan's chagrin, Heiji even convinces others that Conan is his disciple. Conan especially dislikes Heiji's dangerous habit of unthinkingly calling Conan 'Kudo' when others are present.

Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better , 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.
{{clearright}}

=== Detective Boys ===
[[File:Conan and Ai.jpg|thumb|Conan and Haibara investigating]]
====Ai Haibara====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}
[[Ai Haibara]] is the third girl that seems to have somewhat romantic feelings for Conan/Shinichi, although she never truly admits it; indeed, it is a mystery just exactly what she feels for him, whether friendship or otherwise. Some people, such as [[Yukiko Kudo|Conan's mother]], have stated that she has feelings for Conan. It could be said that, because of their almost equal level of intelligence as well as similarities in their pasts (i.e. both victims of the [[APTX 4869]]), she finds it easier to talk to him. She certainly has no qualms about teasing him, and is more than willing to poke a hole in his ego. While Conan initially was disgusted by Ai's ties to the Black Organization, especially with how she introduced herself, seeing her remorse and pain has improved his opinion of her. He is repeatedly protective of her and tries to give her hope when her fear of the men in black is overwhelming.
{{clearright}}

====Ayumi Yoshida====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ayumi Yoshida}}
Conan grows to respect the little girl in his class for her sharp wit and observational skills, along with the other members of the [[Detective Boys]]. [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] in turn clearly seems to like Conan and isn't aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of him because of this.

====Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima====
[[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] sees Conan as a role model, someone he looks up to. [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and more so Mitsuhiko, are often impressed by Conan's fast knowledge and incredible deduction skills. However, they both become quite jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi shows gestures of affection towards him (usually a small kiss on the cheek). While Conan initially only tolerated their presence, he has grown fond of them despite their relative immaturity.

=== Law enforcement ===
[[File:Megure_and_Conan_Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Megure waffles between treating Conan like a child and a detective]]
====Police====
With the exception of a few inspectors, most listen to the little clues that Conan points out. After a while, Conan gets the attention of the whole Tokyo police department for noticing things even pros miss. [[Wataru Takagi]] in particular has taken to trusting Conan completely and doing whatever Conan asks him to without hesitation.

====FBI====
The FBI contains most of the few people that Conan acts normally around despite them not knowing his identity. Conan seems to place trust in the FBI, and occasionally helps in their operations.

====Jodie Starling====
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] nicknamed Conan "Cool Kid" and Conan (despite being wary when he first met her) now places complete trust in Jodie. Jodie has also called Conan to share what would normally be classified information, notifying him of a new Black Organization member, Bourbon.

====Shuichi Akai / Subaru Okiya====
[[Shuichi Akai|Akai]] has been shown to respect Conan's detective skills. It has been strongly implied in a [[Volume 78#File 824 - Mystery Train (Final_Destination)|recent plot line]] that Akai has [[Volume_77#Cold_Case|figured out]] that Conan and Shinichi are one and the same. Conan once says to Akai, "I'm glad you're an ally."

=== Black Organization ===
====Gin and Vodka====
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's interfering with their operations, Gin has been shown to be curious who "that guy" is, referring to Conan. In the movie [[The Raven Chaser]], Gin tries to catch a glimpse of Conan's face from a helicopter, but fails when Conan successfully downs the helicopter. Conan seems to have a very bitter hatred towards them, and this only increases as more people are targeted by the Black Organization.

====Vermouth====
[[Vermouth]] seems to have great personal interest in Conan, referring to him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet'. She also protects Conan, probably because when she was disguising as a serial killer in New York she was saved by Conan (Shinichi at the time) and Ran. When the Organization plans on killing Kogoro, and later Conan, she strongly objects to a degree where Gin suspects whether Kogoro is related to Vermouth. Because of this, Conan does not react strongly when she is mentioned, as opposed to Haibara. He also seems to consider her less of a threat than the other members because he is able to bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

====Bourbon====
[[Tooru Amuro]] (codenamed Bourbon) has attached himself to the Mouri Detective Agency as Kogoro's "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person's showed up" when he learns Amuro will be joining Kogoro on cases. After learning of Amuro's membership in the Black Organization, though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near Ran. He's become more cautious and is somewhat confused by Amuro's helpful behavior, though he attempts to pretend nothing has changed. His bond with Amuro later seemed to increase when he learns that Amuro is actually an undercover operative from Japanese Secret Police when the two exchanges smile in Cafe Poirot.<ref>[[Volume 85#File 897 - Scarlet Truth|Volumes 85, File 897: "Scarlet Truth"]]</ref>

=== Others ===
====Kaitou Kid====
{{Main|Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba}}
Before being shrunk, Shinichi encountered [[Kaitou Kid]] once during the Clock Tower heist, though they did not meet face-to-face. In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi has become Conan, Kid disguises himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki family's Black Star pearl. When Conan corners him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid implies that he stole all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ends up being a bluff, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid in subsequent encounters. Conan stops Kid from escaping with the jewel often enough that Conan has gained reputation with the press as Kid's "natural enemy". In several instances Conan appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence, and seems excited by the chance to catch Kid again; appropriately, Kid seems to find Conan dangerous enough to warrant specific measures to keep him distracted.

Conan does not buy in to Kid's reputation as a mysterious, uncatchable phantom, saying once "He's only a thief that uses magic",<ref>Anime Episode 515: Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic</ref> and encouraging police officers that Kid is only a man and he can be arrested. 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, in that he doesn't try to find or catch the thief outside of heists. In several instances, when Kid does Conan a favor, such as saving Genta's life<ref>[[Big Adventure in the Eccentric Mansion]]</ref>, 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; in exchange for not giving Kid away on a train Conan has Kid face down the [[Black Organization]] in disguise, and because Kid narrowly escapes an explosion with his life, he says that Conan now owes ''him'' one.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"</ref>

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

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity. None of them have ever betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], [[Yusaku Kudo]], [[Yukiko Kudo]], [[Heiji Hattori]], and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] of the Black Organization also knows about Conan's secret. Later, in Episode 508 of the anime, [[Eisuke Hondou]] confirms Conan's identity as [[Shinichi Kudo]] straight from him. In manga chapter 812-814, [[Subaru Okiya]] ([[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise) confirms that Conan is Shinichi. [[Masumi Sera]] may also be suspicious that Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

The 3rd, 8th, and 14th movies also demonstrate that Kaitou Kid apparently knows Conan's identity and acts to protect it. However, this has yet to be backed up by the original artist, Gosho Aoyama, in the manga or (as would follow) the anime main series.

== Gadgets ==
{{main|Gadgets}}
Professor Agasa has made many gadgets for Conan, including a tranquilizer wristwatch, voice-modulating bow tie, kick-enhancing shoes, tracking/binocular glasses, stretchable suspenders, and a solar powered skateboard. Conan uses the first two regularly to create "Sleeping Kogoro", and the glasses and other gadgets to investigate cases or catch criminals. Agasa also created radio badges and watch flashlights Conan and the other Detective Boys.

== 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. Conan placed 3rd in the poll with 866 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. Shinichi/Conan placed 1st out of 10 with 30.46% of the votes cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.conan-movie.jp/camp_chara/camp15th_res.html|title=名探偵コナン「キャラクター人気投票」|date=2011|publisher=www.conan-movie.jp|accessdate=2011-08-12}}</ref>

*In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Conan placed 1st overall with 2,843 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Gosho Aoyama (and Shinichi, in the story) got the name 'Conan Edogawa' from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the famous Sherlock Holmes stories, and Edogawa Rampo, the pen name of Japanese mystery fiction writer Hirai Tarō. Hirai Tarō himself got the pen name "Edogawa Rampo" from a transliteration of "Edgar Allan Poe." Pronouncing Poe's name in a Japanese accent sounds like 'Edogawa Rampo.'

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho said Conan'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 Conan's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia:Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Conan's clothes were modeled after [[Wikipedia:Shichi-Go-San|Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) clothing]]. Young Gosho wore a bow tie and shorts in his Shichi-Go-San photographs. Gosho tries to restrict Conan's gadgets to what Conan can wear, but he has run out of ideas lately. The use of glasses as a disguise was modeled after [[Wikipedia:Superman|Superman]]'s Clark Kent. Conan'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>

== Trivia ==
* Conan's bad singing came to light as a joke after the anime began airing because Conan's voice actress [[Minami Takayama]] is a well-known singer. In [[Volume 15]] of the manga, Takayama herself is kidnapped and Conan, who sounds similar to her, tries to take her place at a concert. However, despite having similar voices, they sound completely different when it comes to singing.<ref>[[Volume 15|Volume 15, Files 144-146: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref>

* [[Image:EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]He owns two cellphones, the one he uses as Conan and one that he uses as Shinichi. He is also shown using different kinds of cellphones throughout the series.

* Conan often uses the expression "Ah-le-le?" when he is trying to point out a clue, something that is usually said by Japanese gradeschoolers. The expression was even said by Kogoro in Episode 317 out of irritation at Conan.

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

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan stuns Kogoro and said that on Genichiro's murder, the culprit attempt to cover his tracks with the footprint technique he explained earlier, but in that case anyone other than Tatsuko, who saw the armor could have done it. Most likely, after killing Genichiro, the culprit was splattered with blood. However, neither the armor nor Kazuki's clothes have been stained. After the culprit killed Genichiro, they came into the audio room and killed Kazuki. Recalling the katana lying on the floor in the audio room. When they first saw it, they jumped to the conclusion that it was used only as the weapon but however the katana wasn't just a weapon it had another particularly sneaky purpose to turn the audio room into a locked room. After the culprit killed Kazuki, they dressed him in the armor then stabbed the katana into the wall near the door. Then, with the other end of the katana they rested it upon the door handle slowly but surely exited the room without letting the katana fall and used the force of the closing door to make the katana bolt the lock with this the sealed room was complete. they knew that no one would have the strength to open the dead-bolted door and they also knew that trying to break the door down would cause the katana to fall to the floor, leaving the trick would unexposed or so the culprit thought. Before that, they must analyze the significance of the case happening on the anniversary of Hidetomi's death, the culprit took advantage of the legend and left those large footprints to make it seem as though the only possible culprit was the armored warrior this fooled them into believing Kazuki killed Genichiro and committed suicide shortly thereafter to make this more believable, the culprit purposely directed Tatsuko who strongly believed in the legend, to bear witness to the animated suit of armor being the anniversary of Hidetomi's death, everyone knew that Tatsuko would be praying at the altar at exactly 12:00 AM, and dclares '''Hatsuho Hojo''' to be the culprit. After that he shows a picture that shows Hatsuho and his father that it was revealed that it was the CEO who comitted suicide.

Hojo confesses and reveals his father, who owned his own company, cherished human relations over cruel business deals he accepted unreasonable orderes from Daimon Industries with a smile, since they had been trading partners for ages. However, with just on mistake, their transactions with Daimon Industries ceased and the factory went bankrupt. Daimon Industries overcame their financial difficulty by cutting off her father's factory as if to deal the final blow to my father, Genichiro stole their family heirloom, the armor from him he sold their armor to raise money to pay his employees. He couldn't do anything for his workers, and he had lost a big part of their family's history. he blamed himself for it all, and committed suicide. When she was working in Tokyo she changed her name and began to live on Genichiro's house so that she could absolve her father of his regret and so that she could have her revenge on the anniversary of her father's death.

After failing to find the vase in possible hiding spots, Conan realizes the vase has been smashed and reveals it is hidden inside the fanny pack of Kimijima's disciple, '''Shinobu Oki'''. Conan deduces her motive and has the guest star appraiser reveal the vase was a counterfeit and that Oki most likely destroyed it to prevent Kimijima from being humiliated on television. Oki confesses and reveals Kimijima's wife's dying wish was to prevent Kimijima from learning about the vase's real value. Kimijima accepts Oki's good intentions and reveals he made a deal with a producer who will help start Oki's debut as a singer. There is a happy ending and just before Kogoro, Ran and Conan are about to go home, Yoko Okino tells Kogoro that he has something on his tie. He seemed happy that she notices his tie but then got disappointed when it was not for the reason he had hoped.

An unknown child of middle-school age who appears to be a girl with light hair was shown hiding in [[Masumi Sera]]'s room. The child's eyes have a remarkable resemblance to those of [[Shuichi Akai]] and [[Masumi Sera]].

==Appearance==
The child appears to be a female of middle school age (12-15) with light colored, curly, neck length hair. The child has eyes similar to those of [[Masumi Sera]] and [[Shuichi Akai]]. In her appearance in File 877, she was shown wearing a high-neck pleated top, hoodie jacket, and hat.

==Plot overview==
=== The Red Woman Murder Case ([[Volume 83|875]]) ===
[[File:Another person with eye bags appears.png|thumb|right|The child on Sera's phone.]]
Masumi asks Conan to find her cellphone by calling it with his. He does so and Conan notices the call background screen is a child who looks like Masumi with eye bags similar to those of the [[Akai family]] members. Masumi never mentioned having a younger siblings earlier, so Conan suspects Masumi was intentionally trying to show him the child for some reason.

=== Romance Novelist Murder Case ([[Volume 83|876-878]]) ===
When Ran, Sonoko, and Conan visit Masumi's apartment, the child is shown opening Masumi's door as Conan, Sera, Sonoko, and Ran rush to investigate a crime. It is implied she was hiding in Masumi's bedroom while the other three were in the dining area because Masumi asks Conan not to enter her bedroom. The child later goes downstairs to the scene of the crime where she is seen by Conan. After the case is solved, the child is shown examining Conan's bug along with Masumi. She says that it is still early to trust him, and asks Masumi to introduce her as "her little sister from ''outside the territory''", should Conan question her in the future.

=== Shogi Tournament ([[Volume 85|899-902]]) ===
The child is interested in [[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]]'s Shogi match, and feeling happy once he won.

=== Poolside Case ([[Volume 85|903-90?]]) ===
The child is waiting for [[Conan]] to visit her and [[Sera]] in their hotel room. She expresses her concern of trusting Conan, even though she thinks he is bright enough. Her talk with him alone is put on hold because Conan brought [[Ran]] and [[Sonoko]] along.

==Identity==
The child's relationship to Masumi Sera is unknown. Sera testifies that she has two older brothers: [[Shuichi Akai]] and an [[Akai family's middle brother|unknown middle brother]] living in Japan. She says her father is dead, and her mother lives overseas in America. Masumi says she doesn't have any more relatives close enough to depend on.<ref>Manga Volume 83, File 4 (876), pg 3: "The Romance Novelist"</ref> She is currently being financially supported by a friend of her father's. If Masumi has told the truth, that leaves relatively few options for the child's identity assuming the child is related by blood somehow to Masumi.

=== Fan speculation ===

====Akai family mother====
One possibility is that the child is the mother of Masumi Sera and Shuichi Akai, shrunk by a drug like [[APTX 4869]]. There are currently five known members of the Akai/Sera family: a deceased father, a mother, a son who resembles the father, and Masumi Sera and Shuichi Akai, who presumably resemble the mother. Her eyes and features are similar to those of Masumi Sera and Shuichi Akai, and so she presumably looks like the mother of the family. Sera seems to recognize Conan Edogawa to be Shinichi Kudo despite him having such a young appearance, and if she does indeed recognize him she is not surprised by his appearance, which could imply that she is aware of age regression and the drugs which cause it; and perhaps even looking into it because her mother was affected by such a regression.

==== Middle brother ====
Along the same lines as the mother theory, another option for the child's identity is the [[Akai family's middle brother|middle brother of the Akai family]] shrunken by some drug such as APTX 4869. The child's appearance as a girl may be misleading similar to how Masumi is mistaken for a man, something the child is taking advantage of in order to conceal his true identity. Although the eyes are similar to Masumi's and Shuuichi's, the light colored curly hair sets the child apart from the other two in appearance. However, the child said to Sera that he\she is still a long way from trusting Conan<ref>Manga [[Volume 83]], File 6 (878), pg 16: "The Phone, the Sea, and I"</ref>, while the middle brother approves of Conan over the phone: "If it is him [Conan], there is no problem."<ref>Manga [[Volume 81]], File 10 (860), pg 16: "The Smell of Kerosine"</ref>.

Akai family's middle brother

2014-08-05T14:11:28Z

Knpce: /* Tooru Amuro */

{{FeaturedArticle|24th September 2013}}
[[Masumi Sera]] reveals that she has a second brother whom she has been calling regarding case solutions.<ref name=859p6-7>Manga Volume 81, File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: "Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate"</ref>

== Description and known facts ==
[[File:Akai Middle Brother's hand.png|thumb|right|The middle brother's hand and cellphone]]
* He does not look like [[Shuichi Akai]] or [[Masumi Sera]], who presumably resemble their mother. The middle brother looks more like their father.<ref name=859p6-7/>
* The middle brother is older than Masumi, but younger than Shuichi.<ref name=859p6-7/> Neither of their ages have been revealed, but Masumi attends class with Ran and Shinichi who are 16-17, and [[Subaru Okiya]] claims to be 27. The brother's former high school classmates are currently 28 and 29 years old, suggesting that the brother is probably similarly aged. Although if that were the case, then Akai would be older than 27.
* He is apparently in the middle of an important job and won't tell Masumi where he is.<ref name=859p6-7/>
* He is very intelligent; note that Sera characterizes the already intelligent Akai as "strong" in contrast to the middle brother. He advises Masumi on cases via cellphone.<ref name=859p6-7/> He was able to correctly deduce over the phone that Masumi's deduction was unreliable in [[Volume_81#Steamy_Relations|a bathroom murder case]]. Masumi says that his high school friends report that he solved puzzles and mysteries very easily.<ref name=872p3>Manga [[Volume 82]], File 11 (872), pg 3: "The Red Woman"</ref>
* In one panel, we see the middle brother responding to Masumi's message using his right hand and a black cellphone. Unless the brother is disguised, this would imply he has light skin. The use of the phone with the right hand is not an absolute indicator of handedness because sometimes characters with known handedness will use phones with their off hands.<ref name=860p16>Manga [[Volume 81]], File 10 (860), pg 16: "The smell of kerosine"</ref>
* The middle brother recognizes Conan and knows he is a good detective.<ref name=860p16/> After an exchange of information regarding deductions, the brother asked Masumi who she was referring to. Masumi shows the brother Conan's picture thinking he will be surprised. The brother replies back that "if it's him, then there's no problem". Masumi is very surprised and wonders how her brother knows Conan. Her suspicion makes sense because Conan didn't exist prior to Shinichi shrinking.<ref name=861p4>Manga Volume 81, File 11 (861), pg 4: "Just like Magic"</ref> The brother later sends another text to Masumi, which makes Masumi react "Ah, I see. So ''that's'' how it is."<ref name=861p15-16>Manga Volume 81, File 11 (861), pg 15-16: "Just like Magic"</ref>
* While the middle brother is not a detective himself, his intelligence seems to be well-known among the students from his high school, as he apparently has solved some mysteries in his class during his time studying there.<ref name=872p3/>
* According to Masumi, the middle brother's surname had been "Sera", which he got from his mother's side, until he graduated from high school. His current surname in the present timeline is presumably something else.<ref name=872p3/>

== Plot Overview ==

=== Sera's phone call during Detective's Nocturne (Manga: [[Volume 76|798-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|672-674]])===
After Sera took down the kidnapper with her motorcycle she either made or received a call from an unknown person. Given her pattern of contacting her brother regarding cases, she may have called him concerning this one.

=== Bathroom murder case's failed deduction (Manga: [[Volume 81|856-858]], Anime: [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|740-741]])===
Sera had called her brother regarding the "adultery case" she was about to investigate and was overheard by Eri. After the murder was discovered, Sera relayed her brother the facts of the case and her deduction by phone call. He told Sera her deduction was unreliable.

=== Bowling Alley drowning murder (Manga: [[Volume 81|859-861]], Anime: [[The Suspect is Makoto Kyogoku|744-745]])===
Conan asks Sera who she called during the last case, and she tells Conan about the existence of her second oldest brother who is very smart. Confronted with another murder case, Sera texts her brother about the situation and her logic. Sera also informs her brother than Conan seems to have figured out the case, but she isn't sure of her answer since her confidence has been shaken as of late. Her brother texts Sera asking who she keeps talking about. Sera sends him a picture of Conan and the brother replies that "it is no problem" if it is Conan doing the deducing. Sera meanwhile wonders how her brother knows Conan. Sera later receives one final text from her brother to which Sera thinks "so '''that's''' how it is". At the end of the unseen message is a PS asking if she has "already met the wizard." Sera looks over at Conan and thinks "You could say so..." while sending a reply.

== Possible Suspects ==

Assuming the middle brother is between 16 (assumed lower range for Masumi's real age) and 35 (assumed upper range for Akai's age based on his appearance and reasonable full-blooding sibling age separation) the following characters could qualify as suspects in reverse order of their introduction date.

=== Minor or New Character ===
It's possible the middle brother is a minor character who was a suspect or witness in a case, but did not distinguish himself or demonstrate his intelligence. It's also possible for the middle brother to be a character who has not been introduced yet, but will be later in a flashback.

=== Characters introduced in the Bourbon Arc ===

*[[Shukichi Haneda]]: [[Yumi]]'s semi-ex-boyfriend (28)
*[[Wataru Date]]: Deceased Tokyo Metropolitan Criminal Investigation First Division police officer (would be ~29 if alive)
*[[Kogoro-san is a Good Man|Ryouhei Onda]]: Kogoro imposter (21)
*[[Tooru Amuro]]: [[Bourbon]] (29)
*[[Holmes' Revelation|Ashley Ares]]: Minerva's tennis coach (30)
*[[Taka'aki Morofushi|Taka'aki Morofushi (Koumei)]]: Nagano officer (35)
*[[A Present from the True Culprit|Sugihito Enomoto]]: Poirot waitress [[Azusa Enomoto]]'s brother (28)
*[[Subaru Okiya]]: Engineering student (27), revealed to be [[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise
*[[Kansuke Yamato]]: Nagano officer (35)

==== Unknown child ====
{{main|Unknown child}}
Some fans think the mysterious child who looks like a member of the Akai family might be the brother after being shrunken by [[APTX 4869]].

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
Shukichi is very intelligent and noticed Conan was an excellent detective on their first meeting. However, Shukichi is famous and recognizable which contradicts Sera not knowing where he is or what he is up to. He has the right age range for the brother. Also the unknown child and Okiya (Shuichi) were very interested in the news that he had won his 7th shogi title.

==== Taka'aki Morofushi ====
Taka'aki Morofushi is intelligent and has light skin. He was still working in Nagano as a police officer though, so Sera should be able to find out where he was and what he was doing. Sera also lacks a Nagano accent, something that might be expected learning Japanese with a family who lived in Nagano for a period of time. (Koumei's lived in Nagano as a child.) Koumei's most recently seen phone is a white clamshell phone.

==== Subaru Okiya ====
Although Subaru Okiya was revealed to be Shuichi Akai, it is possible Akai disguised as his middle brother for some reason. However, Sera would not have wondered how he knew Conan because she was with Subaru and Conan earlier during a case. Okiya's most recently seen phone is black and similar to the one the older brother holds.

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[File:Amuro674.png|thumb|150px]]
Amuro's intelligence matches the middle brother's expected level; however, Amuro's dark skin contradicts the light-colored hand holding the phone when texting Masumi. Amuro has a white iPhone lookalike. However, on page 15 of Chapter 800, his thoughts (i.e., "Why [is Sera Masumi] here..." suggests he knows Sera. Sera doesn't see Amuro, so it is unclear if she knows him or not. Also, Bourbon, like Vermouth, is often in disguise, and either Amuro's dark skin or the light-colored hand holding the cell phone can be makeup or a disguise. However, since Amuro actually wanted the fact that his "older brother" or Shuichi Akai to be dead, it somehow contradicts the fact that he's the middle brother.

'''{{nihongo|Shukichi Haneda|羽田秀𠮷|Haneda Shūkichi}}''' is a professional [[wikipedia:Shogi|shogi]] player, as well as the former boyfriend of [[Yumi Miyamoto]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

==Background==
Not much is known about Shukichi Haneda's past and background before he met Yumi, except that they met for the first time on a train where he overslept and Yumi waited for him even though she had to miss her stop.<ref name="titles">[[Volume 85|Volume 85, File 900, page 6: "Check"]]</ref> He also lived a rather wealthy life.<ref>[[Volume 80|Volume 80, File 847, page 3: "Until I Collect All Seven"]]</ref> It's also unknown when Haneda started his career as a professional shogi player, but he had already attained the prestigious [[wikipedia: Meijin (shogi)|Meijin]] title back when he was still dating Yumi, without the latter knowing.<ref>[[Volume 80|Volume 80, File 849, page 15: "Taikou's Optimal Moves"]]</ref>

Haneda's main objective is to prove himself worthy as Yumi's boyfriend by secretly winning all seven shogi titles, despite having technically been dumped by her. He has finally achieved all seven titles in the most recent Shogi match.<ref name="titles">[[Volume 85|Volume 85, File 902, page 16: "The Brilliant Move"]]</ref> He is also widely known by the name of '''{{nihongo|Taiko Meijin|太閤名人|Taikō Meijin}}''' in the world of shogi.

Haneda currently lives in an apartment at {{nihongo|Chateau Beika Condo|シャトー　米花　マンション|Shatō Beika Manshon}}, the same place as when he was still going out with Yumi.<ref>The anime version (Episode 731) shows the number of his locker as 1801.</ref>

==Personality==
Haneda has a very cheerful and somewhat childish personality, much to Yumi's annoyance. In front of Yumi and other characters, he rarely suppresses his emotions, which can range from overly joyful when meeting his former girlfriend, to hilariously disapproving when the latter announces that their relationship was over. Despite this, Haneda does show a calmer and more serious side during some situations, most notably when he is making his deductions or when he appears in front of the media.

On the other hand, Haneda is quite confident and proud of his excellent memory, as seen when he proclaims himself the best memorizer in the world.<ref name="memory">[[Volume 80|Volume 80, File 847, page 14: "Until I Collect All Seven"]]</ref> From his goal of achieving all seven shogi titles to win Yumi's admiration, he also shows himself as a person with great patience and determination.

==Appearance==

==Abilitites and Skills==
===Shogi===
Shukichi Haneda has won numerous shogi matches and earned himself the title Meijin, which, along with [[wikipedia:Ryu-oh|Ryu-oh]], is the most prestigious title in the professional shogi titleholder system;<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meijin_(shogi)</ref><ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryu-oh</ref> as well as attained three other titles.<ref name="titles" />

===Deductive abilities===
As a professional shoji player, Shukichi Haneda is very intelligent. He was shown to be able to participate in solving a murder case next to his house, where he effectively figured out the trick behind the victim's suicide note, as well as the culprit's identity.

===Memorization===
Haneda is extremely skillful at memorizing, as shown when he managed to remember the code written on [[Sakurako]]'s paper despite having only seen it for a very short amount of time. He also claims to be the best in this field.<ref name="memory" />

==Plot overview==
===Missing Classmate Case (Manga: [[Volume 49|506]]; Anime: [[Super Secret of the Road to School|427]]) ===
Haneda was first mentioned by Yumi to the Detective Boys when the children were looking for a missing schoolgirl. She described him as someone with a good-looking face but childish personality. She also mentioned having "dumped him in a bad way".<ref>[[Volume 49|Volume 49, File 506, page 11: "The Secret Path to School"]]</ref>

===Yumi's Love Story (Manga: [[Volume_80|847-849]]; Anime: [[The Ex-Boyfriend Living Next to a Crime Scene|731-732]])===
Yumi recalls her moment with Haneda before they broke up. When she proposed that they should end their relationship as she would become a police officer, Haneda handed her an envelope and told her not to open until he "collect all seven", referring to the shogi titles. However, he hasn't contacted her ever since then, so she officially broke up with him.

When a murder takes place at his neighboring apartment, Haneda becomes one of the prime suspects as he knows the code to acquire the spare key. That is when he finally meets his ex-girlfriend again after all those years. He cheerfully introduces to everyone about their relationship, only to be denied by Yumi.

As the investigation progresses, Haneda perceives the true nature of the victim's suicide note, calling it "a well prepared move", which turns out to be an important clue. Later, when asked about his own alibi, Haneda refuses to answer, much to Yumi's annoyance. However, he mentally tells her not to be worried, while confidently looking at Conan, who's already figured out the truth about the case.

Conan, with Haneda's helps, points out that the culprit is the victim's husband. Haneda explains that the suicide note was actually written four years ago, on an airplane that almost crashed; the culprit used it to fake her death as a suicide. He also reveals that he has suspected the husband since he saw the note, and his theory was confirmed when he overheard his conversation with his son.

At the end of the case, it is revealed that Haneda is in fact the famous shogi player called "Taiko Meijin", and was having a match when the crime occured. He kept quiet about it so Yumi couldn't find out about his occupation. It's also revealed that the reason he's so determined in winning all seven shogi titles is because when the two were still dating, Yumi used to express her admiration for a sumo champion who had won six tournaments in a row.

===Shogi Tournament (Manga: [[Volume_85|899-902]])===

Haneda won important matches to help him win his 4th, 5th and 6th titles. Before he begins his title match to become only the 2nd Nanakanou (Shogi player with all 7 titles) in history, he receives a letter. He opens the letter only to find out that Yumi was kidnapped and is trapped in a well. The letter contains clues pertaining to the whereabouts of Yumi. He arrives at the location but cannot find the well. Upon the arrival, he bumps into Conan and the Detective Boys who immediately ask the real purpose of Haneda. The match is postponed as Haneda attempts to win both the battle of Shogi and love.

==Relationships analysis==
===Yumi Miyamoto===
Shukichi Haneda and [[Yumi Miyamoto]] first met when the latter was still in college, and had begun dating since then until Yumi eventually broke up with him. Despite this, it appears they still have feelings for each other. Haneda doesn't seem to care about the break-up and still thinks of her as his girlfriend, as if nothing has happened. Yumi, on the other hand, clearly shows her concern when she hears that someone from the condo he's living is dead, and when he refuses to provide his alibi. The fact that they still call the other by their pet names further hints at this. They even exchanged a kiss before he continued his Shogi match to win the seventh title.

So far, Yumi still hasn't found out that Haneda is actually a famous shogi player.

===Conan Edogawa===
Haneda seems to have noticed [[Conan]]'s intelligence and trusted his deductions the first time they met.

==Name origin==
His full name Shukichi Haneda (羽田秀𠮷) and the in-story nickname Taiko (太閤) are both references to [[wikipedia:Toyotomi Hideyoshi|Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] (豊臣秀吉), who was later renamed Hashiba Hideyoshi (羽柴秀吉).<ref>[[Volume 80|Volume 80, File 849, page 15: "Taikou's Optimal Moves"]]</ref> Additionally, Haneda's "Hane" (羽) also comes from [[wikipedia:Yoshiharu Habu|Yoshiharu Habu]] ('''羽'''生善治), a real-life professional shogi player who has won all seven titles.<ref>http://ddnavi.com/news/191132/ Translation: http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/?p=316639</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Shuichi Akai|赤井秀一|Akai Shūichi}}''' is an [[FBI]] agent and a major figure in the battle against the [[Black Organization]]. He once assumed the identity of '''{{nihongo|Dai Moroboshi|諸星大|Moroboshi Dai}}''' and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename '''{{nihongo|Rye|ライ}}'''. During this time he made enemies with [[Gin]] and [[Bourbon]] and became romantically involved with [[Akemi Miyano]].

== Background ==
[[File:Long haired Akai.PNG|thumb|160px|right|Akai as "Dai Moroboshi" during his infiltration of the Black Organization.]]
Shuichi Akai is an American of Japanese descent and member of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, on special assignment in Japan to capture [[Vermouth]]. His superior is [[James Black]] and his partner is [[Jodie Starling]].<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple 5</ref> He had infiltrated the Black Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi - and the codename "Rye" - as a mole<ref>Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past</ref> and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, to feed information to the FBI. In order to facilitate the latter, and later because he had genuinely developed feelings for Akemi, Akai saw himself forced to break up his then on-going relationship with Jodie.<ref>Manga Chapter 677: The Fated Individual</ref> Later on, his cover in the Black Organization was accidentally blown by his colleague [[Andre Camel]], and when Akemi was killed, he declared her murderer, [[Gin]] (with whom he seems to have had some tensions even before his exposure), his personal enemy.<ref>Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref>

=== Infiltration of the Black Organization ===
Five years prior to the current time-line, [[FBI]] agent Shuichi Akai infiltrated the [[Black Organization]] using the alias Dai Moroboshi as a mole and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, in order to meet [[Shiho Miyano]] and use her influence to get into the Black Organization.<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> Although at first he was simply using Akemi as a tool, they both fell in love with each other. Akai distinguished himself as an agent and two years prior to the current time-line received the codename Rye and was called to work under executive agent [[Gin]]. The FBI laid a trap hoping to capture Gin at a warehouse where the meeting was supposed to take place,<ref name=599p9/> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>

== Personality ==
Akai is a tenacious but stoic agent. Even in personal matters, he remains cool, even detached, from anyone, but his redeeming value is a great sense of loyalty to anyone he knows. He is a skilled and relentless pursuer and detective, qualities which have labeled him the number one enemy of the [[Black Organization]] and earned him the nickname "[[Silver Bullet]]". He looks forward to opportunities to hunt the Black Organization down and get revenge for [[Akemi]]. While usually professional, he often acts independently of the FBI, and even his boss [[James Black]] has trouble getting ahold of him. Shuichi gets along well with Conan, who share many personality traits.

James Black says Akai is an introverted person who doesn't easily get close to people and he has become even more closed off since Akemi's death.<ref name=502p13>Manga Volume 49, File 2, page 13: "New Order"</ref> He doesn't often say what he is thinking. Shuichi has an unhealthy tendency to prioritize his missions above the emotional wellbeing of his friends, coworkers, family, and love interests.<ref>Shuichi's fake death, while preserving Kir and allowing her to pass info to the FBI, has caused significant dysfunction within the FBI who believe him to be truly dead. While Shuichi has been technically fulfilling the promise he made to look after Haibara's welfare as Okiya, he has executed it in such a way that Haibara was terrified of his presence and refused to be alone at the Agasa house when he was around.</ref> Conflict between his missions and the interests of those he cares about has lead to significant sorrow for him<ref>Shuichi didn't inform Akemi he was an FBI agent despite being in love because it might jeopardize his mission (and his relationship). Even though Akemi figured out Shuichi was an FBI agent and wished to leave the Organization and date him seriously, she kept it secret from him either because she was not sure how he would react, or because she thought it could cause him harm. Thus, the infiltration mission was the root cause of their secretkeeping which prevented them from coming up with an exit strategy for Akemi in case the mission failed. The following chain of events led to Akemi's death.</ref> and others.<ref>Shuichi's faked death to save Kir's mission and get her to pass information to the FBI as well demoralized the FBI, especially Jodie. Shuichi's infiltration mission required that he seduce Akemi even though he was dating Jodie at the time. When he fell in love with Akemi for real, Shuichi decided to break it off with Jodie. When justifying his decision to Jodie, he mentioned that he didn't want the onus of loving two women at once, but he also mentioned he thought the "sacrifice" was important to his mission to destroy the Black Organization. This implies that love was not the only factor in Shuichi's decision, he thought choosing Akemi over Jodie would help his mission -- perhaps because he was afraid he would be caught as a spy if anyone discovered his relationship with Akemi was fake. [http://forums.dctp.ws/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=980&p=16431#p16431]</ref>

Shuichi prefers to plan secretly, and will readily trick his friends and coworkers, even injuring them, if helps the success of his missions.<ref>FBI vs Org, Shuichi didn't tell the rest of the FBI he would cover Kogoro's agency. In Red vs Black, the return Kir plan and the fake death plan were both kept secret from the FBI. He ordered Camel to remove by force if necessary anyone who interfered which resulted in Jodie being knocked out. He later told Kir to hit Camel for real to make her escape look authentic.</ref> Shuichi is often forgiven for these transgressions because his judgment is usually sound and his plans work out well.<ref>In FBI vs Org, Shuichi was forgiven for covering Kogoro without telling his boss and for making the decision on his own to let the Black Organization leave without much resistance because he thought it might lead to a dangerous firefight downtown. In Red vs Black, Shuichi was forgiven after being told off for hiding his secret plan to return Rena to the Org.</ref> Shuichi's secret plans, while strategically robust in the short term, often cause emotional problems for others that he does not fully appreciate.<ref>In particular, his faked death had a major impact on the FBI and [[Jodie Starling]]. [[Bourbon]] was able to take advantage of the emotional confusion surrounding his death to approach the FBI for his own ends. Jodie's sorrow has reduced her effectiveness and led her to blunder into dangerous situations.</ref>

Even though he means well, Shuichi is notably clumsy at trying to comfort and connect with others. As [[Okiya]], his technique to approach [[Haibara]] leaves her terrified of him, and repeated contact only intensifies her loathing. Despite his social awkwardness, Shuichi is not unempathetic; he gives Jodie some hope by leaving her a message in his own handwriting, and leaves her a very roundabout hint about his identity after knocking her down even though he cannot reveal the truth to her yet.

== Appearance ==
Akai is a tall man of Japanese descent with short wavy hair. His trademark features, by which people close to him have identified him are his eyes which have permanent bags underneath them that make him appear sleep deprived. Other characters often describe him as evil eyed or having a sharp gaze. His eyes are blue in the manga (like every other character) and green in the anime. He and [[Masumi Sera]] presumably more closely resemble their mother then their father.
The second trademark feature is his knit cap, which he is always shown wearing. When he was younger he had a grey fedora which Masumi now wears herself. Up to one year ago, he had very long waist length hair, which he cut after the death of Akemi Miyano "to freshen up." Akai is left-handed. He is a heavy smoker and his favorite drink is bourbon.

His outfit is a grey jacket on top of a collared black shirt, black pants, shoes, and his trademark black knit cap.

== Abilities ==
=== Intelligence ===

Akai is capable of thinking on par with Conan. He once set up a sniper ambush at a nearby building, knowing that the Black Organization will come and try to kill Kogoro. He also mentioned that he knew that "making them think the FBI set up the transmitter was the priority." <ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref>

=== Firearms and Sniping ===
Akai, is the most capable sniper shown so far, to the point of shooting a small piece of gum out of Gin's hand from about 700 yards away, which is a lot more than the range of Black Organization's professional snipers [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]. He also managed to get a shot on Gin from the same distance. <ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref>
Akai is good at handling shotguns as well; he accurately shot Vermouth from the hip faster than she could aim at him with her subcompact pistol.
He is a sharpshooter with a handgun as well, capable of busting a moving car's tire from a speeding car with just a single shot. <ref>Manga Volume 85 File 4 Page 5</ref>

=== Driving ===
Akai is a skilled driver. He can overtake many cars quickly in heavy traffic conditions and drift around a u-turn.<ref name=420p14>Manga Volume 41, File 7, page 14: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net" </ref> He drives a [[Cars|Chevrolet C1500.]]

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Akemi Miyano ====
Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano were lovers while he was infiltrating the [[Black Organization]]. Akai's original mission was to date Akemi Miyano in order to meet Shiho Miyano. Akai used Shiho's influence to gain rank in the Organization, intending to become trusted enough to meet with high level agents so the FBI could capture one for questioning. As [[James Black]] later recalls, although Akai's relationship with Akemi was merely a stepping stone, Akai actually fell in love with Akemi, and considered her his real girlfriend. Because of this he broke up with [[Jodie Starling]].

[[Image:Akemi's Text Message.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The last text message Akemi had sent Shuichi, before her death.]]
Sometime later, Akemi develops the suspicion that Akai really wasn't who he claimed to be. After Akai's expulsion, he confirms that he is an FBI agent to her. To Akai's surprise, Akemi doesn't seemed surprised by this, so Akai asks her why she never said anything about her suspicions that she was being used by him before, and Akemi hints it is because she loves him. Initially, the Organization couldn't do anything about Akemi because they needed the loyalty of her sister, but two years later they decided that the risk of her contact with Akai was too much. They decided to create a situation where they could eliminate her by having her do a bank heist she was supposed to fail. Sometime near the day of the heist, Akemi sent Akai a long text message, asking him if he wants to be her real boyfriend when she is finally free from the Organization. After the heist, Akemi is killed by [[Gin]], and it is unknown how Akai responded if at all. Akai treasures her final text message, and keeps it in his phone many months after Akemi's death. The message also contains a P.S. which has not been revealed yet.

How Akemi and Akai met in the manga is unknown, but in the anime, Shuichi Akai originally met Akemi by an intentional accident. She accidentally hit him with her car when he deliberately walked into the street in front of her in order to be hit by her.<ref>Episode 497</ref> Akemi was concerned, and helped take him to the hospital, watching over him until he was better. When he woke up, he felt no anger over what she did, and even asked for her name, to which a very flustered Akemi replied, while he told her his fake name: Dai Moroboshi. After this they began dating.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
While Jodie and Akai's relationship had been viewed as mere colleagues, it is revealed later on in the series that Jodie and Akai had dated before about 5 years prior. However, after Akai infiltrated the Black Organization under the alias of Dai Moroboshi, he started dating Akemi Miyano in hopes of using her to attain information about the Black Organization. Despite this, Akai ended up falling in love with Akemi, leading him to break up with Jodie, stating that, "To be able to love two women at the same time…it’s not that handy a personality."<ref name="677p5">Manga [[Volume 65]], File 3 (677), pg 5: "The fated individual"</ref> In spite of the break-up, Jodie still held strong feelings for Akai which never wavered as time passed and took his apparent death at Kir's hands especially hard, to the point of being reduced to tears.

====James Black====
[[James Black]] is the boss of [[FBI]] agents and [[Akai]] too.

====Andre Camel====
[[Andre Camel]] worked with [[Shuichi Akai]] before when he was an agent in the [[Black Organization]] and they meet together again in [[Clash of Red and Black]].

==== Ai Haibara ====
When Haibara first met Akai, she thought he was a member of the Black Organization. Akai seems to know of Haibara's identity. Haibara knows him as Dai Moroboshi, her sister's boyfriend who betrayed the Organization.<ref>Manga Chapter 802</ref> Haibara should know Dai was a spy and FBI agent, after hearing an exchange between Bourbon and Kaitou Kid through a microphone<ref>Manga Chapter 824,[http://25.media.tumblr.com/4b40277b84692b54c491654534be7ccf/tumblr_mpc528w9hS1qfn9zio1_r1_500.png]</ref>, but she does not know him by the name Shuichi Akai. He made a promise with a certain woman to look after Haibara's welfare.<ref>Manga [[Volume 77]], Files 3-5 (809-811)</ref>

==== Conan Edogawa ====
Akai and Conan gets along well and are capable of thinking on par with one another. In the short time they have worked together, Akai has come to respect Conan's intellect and deductive skills and speaks to him professionally. He is also aware that [[Conan]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]] are really one and the same person <ref>Manga [[Volume 77]], File 813 p.16 and File 814 p.3 </ref>. There is further speculation amongst fans that Akai has figured out that Ai was formerly Sherry and (more than likely) learned about her research for the Black Organization and the two possible effects of [[APTX 4869]].

==== Masumi Sera ====
[[Masumi Sera]] is [[Akai]]'s younger sister.

=== Black Organization ===

==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Shuichi Akai}}
Shuichi Akai and Gin are rivals and hate one another. It is implied that they didn't get along even before Akai was exposed as an undercover FBI agent. Akai refers to Gin as "Koibito", which ironically means 'lover.' Gin killed Akai's love Akemi, so Akai thinks of Gin as his archenemy.

==== Bourbon ====
Shuichi Akai and [[Tooru Amuro|Bourbon]] are stated to be enemies. It's been stated that Bourbon hated Akai more than Gin did. Bourbon believed himself to be the only one capable of killing Akai, and refused to believe that Akai was dead. It is unknown how Akai feels about him, but the feeling is likely mutual, though not as extreme on Akai's side.

== 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. Akai placed 12th in the poll with 53 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. Akai placed 7th overall with 415 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Akai.gif|image|right|thumb|Gosho Aoyama draws Akai as half of Char on his website]]
Akai's name comes from the [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] character [[wikipedia:Char Aznable|Char Aznable]], whose nickname was the "'''Red (Akai)''' Comet", and Char's voice actor [[Shuichi Ikeda|'''Shuichi''' Ikeda]] (who is also Akai's voice actor). Additionally, his alias, Dai Moroboshi, comes from Char's real name, Casval Rem '''Deikun''' (sounds like '''Dai-kun''' in Japanese). '''Moroboshi''' can also mean ''falling star'', another possible allusion to ''Red Comet''.<ref>In Moroboshi (諸星), the first kanji can be broken up into 言者 which when pronounced as げんしゃ (gensha) sounds very similar to the word for "phenomenon" (genshou). The second character (星) means "star". Moroboshi, read as "Star phenomenon" references falling stars or maybe comets. </ref>
