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

== Background ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Young Kogoro in school.]]
Kogoro is a private investigator,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> but he prefers to laze around his office all day unless his client is a beautiful woman. Kogoro attended Teitan High School, the same high school as his daughter [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], along with [[Eri Kisaki]] (his future wife), [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], and through kindergarten to middle school attended the same schools as the actress Ruri Ujo and Eri.<ref>[[Volume 37]]</ref> He then graduated from Beika University, where he was the ace of the judo team, though he was highly vulnerable to stage fright.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 086 - The Two Benkei Standing Deaths|Volume 9, File 86: "The Two Benkei Standing Deaths"]]</ref>

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

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was forced to adopt the identity of [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]] concluded that Shinichi couldn't openly continue investigating the [[Black Organization]] without attracting undue attention. To maintain his cover, Agasa suggested Shinichi move in with Kogoro and use him as a front. During a case Kogoro took soon after, he reached the wrong conclusion, and Conan knocked him out with an ashtray before he could accuse an innocent person. Kogoro conveniently falls unconscious in a reclining pose, and Conan uses his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice Changer]] to imitate Kogoro's voice, presenting his conclusions and the identity of the true murderer.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9: An Unfortunate Misunderstanding]]</ref> After a few more cases occur in this fashion (though Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] instead of an ashtray), Kogoro receives the title "Sleeping Kogoro" and a public reputation as a master detective.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref>. In the few instances where Kogoro remains awake for some reason, Conan still does the main detective work and uses Kogoro as his official mouthpiece by drawing Kogoro's attention to important clues he has uncovered.

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

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

Kogoro has several medical issues common amongst middle aged men: high uric acid and high cholesterol.<ref>File 975</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Kogoro's personality.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro in the morning.]]
[[Image:Kogoro and Yoko Okino.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro showboating in front of [[Yoko Okino]].]]
[[File:701 5.png|thumb|200px|Kogoro as "Poirot" Mouri|link=The Jet-Black Mystery Train]]
Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his clients. In cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor change and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does. <ref>[[Volume 37#File 376 - Kogoro's Choice 3|Volume 37, File 376: Kogoro's Choice 3]]</ref>

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

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

However he does, once in a while, show interest in things, he claims not to like, like asking what happened to three cats, that the Detective Boys found while searching for a missing girl, and pointing out that it was cruel for a victim to point at Genta and call him a criminal, despite that Genta, didn't do anything. Kogoro suffers from mild acrophobia (fear of heights) and is quite uncomfortable in high settings where he has the chance to see how high up he is,(though, it is more like this is only part of anime, not manga, in 40 volume interview Gosho said he doesn't know about it, he also in the manga doesn't have this problem),(for more detail see trivia, below).

Although he can drive, and even after he became famous, he simply uses rental cars anytime that he requires a vehicle, even though he is a Detective and father to a teenager. Not counting, when they took in Conan.

Ran and Conan seem to show more mobility, even though Ran does not drive, whereas Conan does go around town and [[Turbo Engine Skateboard|skateboard]] a lot and esp. in movies.

Kogoro loves money very much, as long as he is paid 1 million yen or more than that he does what the person wants him to do, but not every work. As stated in an anime original episode, he doesn't "sells himself to the devil".

Despite his arrogant personality, Kogoro has a strong sense of justice and care for human life like when one of his friends murdered another friend he told Kogoro "You don't understand anything", which Kogoro replied as "Yes, I don't, no matter what, I can't understand the reason for killing someone and I don't want to understand". He also stopped criminals from committing suicide or murdering someone.

He also has respect for his former superiours like for Megure whom he calls Inspector Megure-dono or Inspector-dono which puts respect. Also, Kogoro uses "Watashi" for saying I when talking to Megure instead of "ore", which "Watashi" puts respect and is formal while "ore" is informal and disrespectful. Another one is for Inspector Yuminaga, despite calling him fiery old fossil when a case was solved he saluted toward him for respect. He also puts respect toward Goro Otaki, head inspector of Osaka police, and toward high ranking officers at police for example for his former chief Kiyonaga Matsumoto, Superintendent General Hakuba or Director General of Osaka Heizo Hattori addressing all of them with dono.

He also doesn't like people who call him 'small mustache'.

In an anime original of episode 67, it was explained he inherited his shamelessness and flirtatious traits from his master Shiota Heihachiro which was a legendary great detective.

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

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

Thanks to Conan's undercover help in solving numerous cases, Kogoro's reputation as a detective grows quickly.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref> He hardly remembers the solutions of any cases because Conan knocks him out with tranquillizer darts before solving the case. However, Kogoro never seems to wonder about this fact and often boasts about his merits. Because of this, he has become nicknamed the '''{{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}}'''. [[Jugo Yokomizo]] often mistakenly calls him '''{{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|Kemuri no Kogorou}}''' because of his heavy smoking habits. Because of his (or rather, Conan's) tendency to coincidentally come across a crime scene, Inspector Megure has referred to Kogoro as a '''shinigami''' (death god).

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

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

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

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

== Plot overview ==
=== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|2-5]], Anime: [[Episode 2|2]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro takes the credit.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro happily takes the credits for "solving" the case.]]
This is Kogoro Mouri’s first depicted case in the series,<ref>Even though this is the first case of Kogoro in [[Detective Conan]], it is not his first case ever, since he has been a private detective since before the current timeline started.</ref> after [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|the event]] where [[Shinichi]] was turned into a child by the [[Black Organization]]. He is requested by phone to find Akiko Tani, who is suspected to have been kidnapped by “a large man dressed in black”. Kogoro then immediately calls a taxi to go to the Tani mansion in Yayoi, without knowing that [[Ran|his daughter]] and [[Conan|a strange kid]] has already jumped in with him. He expresses his excitement about the case, calling himself “Great Detective”, but only to be sarcastically addressed as “Confused Detective” by the two instead.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 2, Page 28]]; the two characters 名 (renowned) and 迷 (confused) have the same pronunciation (mei) and can be used as a pun.</ref> Kogoro becomes furious and questions Ran about the identity of the strange kid, then intends to get rid of them from the car. He is unable to do so, however, as they are on a highway.

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

=== Bloody Idol Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|6-9]], Anime: [[Episode 3|3]]) ===
[[File:KogoroRose.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro holding a rose, trying to act "charming" in front of Yoko.]]
This case marks the very first appearance of '''“Sleeping Kogoro”'''. [[Conan]] wakes up in the morning and finds a slothful Kogoro drinking beer and watching television shows, including the musical performance of his idol star, [[Yoko Okino]]. [[Agasa]] advises Conan to build Kogoro into a great detective, to find cases related to the [[Black Organization]], but Conan doubts if that is even possible given Kogoro's laziness.

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

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

=== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|10-12]], Anime: [[Episode 38|38]])===
[[File:Kogoro suspects Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro is suspicious about Conan's identity.]]
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]]'s identity for the first time in this case. When talking to the boy, Kogoro suddenly feels like he has seen Conan from somewhere before. He thinks that it might have been around the time when Ran was still in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 010]]</ref> Later, when Kogoro is investigating the death of a man whom he has been hired to observe for three days, Conan provides a hint by pointing out that every picture of the suspect taken during the supposed time of the murder has clocks in them, which helps Kogoro figure out that they must have intentionally been taken that way to make people see the "alibi". Kogoro immediately finds it strange that whenever it seems like he has been stuck, Conan always gives him some kind of clue, just like in the previous cases. He, for the first time, notices that Conan is not an ordinary child and begins to wonder who the boy is. However, after Conan purposefully messes up with other photos, Kogoro completely loses his suspicions, thinking: "A brat is a brat after all..."<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 12]]</ref>

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

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

[[File:Volume 4 File 032.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro's first fame.]]
[[Ran]] forces Kogoro and Conan to go to a medieval-themed art museum exhibit because she heard a rumor about a knight armor that moves by itself at night. The three of them browse the museum, though Kogoro and Conan lack enthusiasm. However, when they walk into a gallery called the "Room of Hell", Ran discovers the corpse of the museum's new owner, Manaka, been brutally slashed and impaled on a sword. After the police arrive, Kogoro watches the security camera recording of the murder with them, showing that the culprit had been waiting for Manaka inside the exhibition room inside a knight's suit of armor. The armor both hid the murderer's identity and mirrored a painting in the gallery called "Divine Punishment" that depicts a knight having gruesomely killed a monster. Kogoro recalls the fact that the entrance to the "Room of Hell" was blocked during the time of the murder, indicating that the culprit must have been among the museum staff, as they know the museum and could access the equipment. With Conan's help, the police discover a dying message inside Manaka's hand. The crumpled note has the name "Kubota" written on it.

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

=== Kogoro's Class Reunion (Manga: [[Volume 9|84-86]], Anime: [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|27-28]]) ===
[[File:Angry Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro is furious because the murderer is one of his friends.]]
Kogoro brings [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are [[Jun Omura]], model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 3]]</ref> Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 11]]</ref>

[[File:Kogoro KOs Kazushi.png|left|thumb|200px|Kogoro knocks out Kazushi with Judo.]]
Much later in the evening, when everyone gets back to the inn from the fireworks location (even though most of them got lost, they find out that Yumi is still sleeping, and decide to wake her up. Much to their surprise, the moment they walk into Yumi's room, she has already been shot. Kogoro, together with Kazushi, take the role of investigating her death before the police arrive. Using professional techniques, they conclude that Yumi has been dead since 7 hours ago when they all went to the ping-pong room. Just, as usual, Kogoro becomes furious at Conan's interference, despite the boy's hints, and claims that she has committed suicide. However, right after Conan intentionally asks him how Yumi was shot, he rushes to her body and finds out that there are no burn marks around the wound, which wouldn't make sense if it was a suicide. Kogoro then concludes that his friend was murdered.

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

[[File:Cheerful Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro has got his "spirit" back.]]
Seeing Kogoro's determination, despite having found out the truth behind the murder, Conan decides not to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] this time and chooses to give Kogoro clues so he can solve the case by himself. With Conan's help, Kogoro is able to figure out that the culprit is Kazushi Nakamichi. Yumi was killed after playing ping-pong with Kazushi after 6 PM, that way, her muscle would harden much faster than usual. Another evidence was when Kazushi knew for sure that she had been dead the moment they discovered her corpse. When Kazushi confesses and says that she was a demon who was destroying his life, Kogoro sarcastically asks him who the real demon is. Kazushi angrily grabs his yukata, only to be thrown by Kogoro, who thinks that he doesn't want to understand the feeling of a killer.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 16]]</ref> It is then revealed that Kogoro is the "strongest person" whom Kazushi was talking about earlier. He compliments Kogoro, saying he is still as strong as ever. However, Kogoro answers that Kazushi is the one who got weaker in both strength and mind.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 17]]</ref>

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


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

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

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



=== Scuba Diving Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|163-165]], Anime: [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|114-115]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro Eri beach.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro encounters Eri at Izu.]]
Kogoro, [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] vacation at a beach in Izu. When Ran asks her father to look at her new swimsuit, he tells her to keep quiet because it will be harder for him to flirt with women once they know that he's together with her. Suddenly, Kogoro notices a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing right next to them and excitedly asks if she needs any sun cream. To his surprise, when the woman turns around, he finds out that it is none other than [[Eri Kisaki|his wife]]. Kogoro and Eri soon realize that the coincidental encounter was set up by Ran in an attempt to get them back together. They react poorly to being manipulated and mock each other until Kogoro leaves to use the toilet. Ran starts to worry after Kogoro is gone for some time, but Eri predicts that Kogoro stopped flirting with other women. When Kogoro comes back, he is indeed shown with two young girls, Kiwako Toda and Harumi Matsuzaki. The situation worsens when Eri notices traces of sand on Kogoro's legs, and assumes he must have been kneeling while applying sun scream to those girls at the beach, then brought them back to show off to her. However, Conan suspects that Kogoro went searching for Eri's lost wedding ring until Kogoro’s goofiness makes Conan dismiss the idea.

[[File:Kogoro Eri giving cards.jpg|thumb|200px|The relationship between the two is still very tense despite Ran's efforts.]]
Later, with the invitation from the university students, the Mouri family have lunch together at a seaside restaurant. When Ran once again attempts to alleviate the tense relationship between Kogoro and Eri by commenting that Kiwako Toda and her boyfriend Masahiko Matsuzaki are childhood friends like they were, Kogoro sarcastically tells them that many couples have suffered in marriage for loving a friend they’ve known since childhood. He and Eri even give the young couple their business cards and recommend the two to seek them in case “he suspects that his wife is cheating” or because “they plan to divorce and she wants to get a lot of alimony from her husband”.

[[File:Kogoro returns ring.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro returns the ring back to Eri.]]
After Kiwako Toda goes diving with Ran and gets bitten by a sea snake, Ran is asked to identify it. Kogoro compliments his daughter for having a good sense of observation, but Eri takes advantage of the topic and comments that she is completely different from “a certain someone who still hasn’t even noticed that his wife’s finger is empty”. However, Kogoro acts as if he doesn’t understand Eri’s hint. Later, as Kogoro is about to drive Kiwako’s friends to the hospital, Eri decides to drop Ran and Conan off there and then goes home right away. However, Kogoro informs her with a serious expression that he has something to tell her after the case is resolved. At the hospital, when Eri is about to leave after seeing Kogoro to some girls, Conan asks a nurse to call Eri and Harumi Matsuzaki and tells them to go to an office to see Kogoro. He then immediately lures Kogoro into becoming "Sleeping Kogoro" and reveals that the culprit is none other than Harumi. Conan also adds that Eri didn't purposely remove the wedding ring to attract Kogoro’s attention. After the case is solved, it is revealed that Kogoro did indeed go search for the wedding ring, which explains the sand traces on his legs, as he knelt on the sand to do so. Kogoro takes the ring out of his pocket and throws it to Eri. He says that he figured it out because Eri was drying her hair with her glasses on; normally no one would do that unless they’re trying to find something on the ground. He also assumes that Eri intentionally dropped her ring and tried to make him see that by using her left hand to hold the cup and continuously waving it around. Just as their relationship looks to be improved by this act, Kogoro completely ruins the moment by showing off with the female nurses, which enrages Eri and she leaves right after.

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

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

[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A healed relationship?]]
Later, Kogoro accompanies the lawyers back to the hotel, where he, while unconscious, is instead brought to Usui's room as one of her tactics to ruin Eri's career by having "the queen" suspect that her husband has been cheating on her. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Usui is strangled by an unknown culprit with Kogoro being the only one found sleeping inside the locked crime scene. He is then suspected to have committed the murder.

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

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

=== Shooting ===
In the Wild Police Story spinoff, chapter 2, [[Hachizo Onizuka]] says to [[Rei Furuya]] that there is a genius senior who got full points in his first shooting test and hit the bulls-eye with all 20 bullets, states that he quits the force and was running a detective agency in Beika after, with Kogoro appears briefly.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:EP400 2.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro and Eri]]

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

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File: EP526 6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Ran.]]
Kogoro has raised his daughter Ran ever since he and Eri separated. She often has to look after her father because of his drinking and gambling habits. She is very determined to get her parents back together and tries every chance she gets to make them reconcile, though her attempts usually fail. Kogoro is very protective of Ran and deeply cares for her. There are many times when Kogoro shows concern for his daughter's safety, often getting serious when Ran is in trouble. He is also concerned about Ran's relationship with Shinichi, who he thinks always tries to seduce Ran (movie 'Captured In Her Eyes') and Episode 919, and can get agitated whenever his daughter's honour is threatened. This is evident from Kogoro's angry outburst at Ran's sleepy mumblings about the somewhat offensive words Shinichi had said to her aboard the flight to New York, in the episode 'The Locked Room In The Sky: Shinichi's First Case'. In chapter 924 when a group of three adults tried to kidnap 4-year-old Ran in kindergarten, and Kogoro had a very furious look on his face when he was about to arrest one of them. In episode 189 he gave her his coat to keep her warm when she slept at Conan side in his hospital room after giving him a blood fusion and told Conan that Ran gave Conan a lot of blood and if Conan doesn’t get better soon he will never forgive him. Kogoro doesn't actively try to wane Ran's love for Shinichi, but he has often advised her to give up on him.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP415 3.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan beaten by Kogoro for interfering in crime scene.]]

Kogoro took in Conan after he had 'solved' the case in episode 2, saying that Conan was his 'luck' and allowing Conan to live with them, but he mostly leaves it to Ran to take care of the boy. However, on multiple occasions, he has treated Conan nonchalantly, terming him a 'freeloader'. He has been suspicious of Conan's behavior at times but quickly drops his suspicions as ridiculous. Ever since Yukiko (disguised as Conan's nonexistent mother) gave Kogoro a large sum of money for Conan's expenses, he has been more than happy to take care of Conan. While Kogoro often shows a level of disregard towards his ward and has a habit of hitting Conan for disturbing him during investigations, there are rare moments where it is apparent he has become quite protective of Conan as well and considers him a normal part of the family.

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

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

==== Rei Furuya ====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rei wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]][[Rei Furuya]] (under the alias Tooru Amuro) became Kogoro's apprentice in the [[Wedding Eve]] case in exchange for a large fee every time Kogoro brought him on a case. Rei tends to act ingratiatingly whenever Kogoro Mouri is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Rei's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Rei flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the [[Black Organization]], Rei doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Rei is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Rei is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.
{{clear}}

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

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

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

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

== Trivia ==
[[File:Lupin 2-05 Kogoro.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro's flashy gold business cards]]
* In the movie continuity, Kogoro's practice of using ostentatious gold business cards carries over from [[Private Eye in the Distant Sea]] to [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]].
* Although Kogoro suffers from acrophobia, he sometimes seems to forget about his fear. For instance, he leans over the railing of a balcony on the 21st floor in episode 69 (Night Baron Murder Case). Furthermore, he feels perfectly comfortable onboard a plane in episode 162 (The locked Room in the Sky, Shinichi Kudo's First Case). In episode 596 (the Alibi of the Fall), he looks out of a window from the 6th floor, but then "remembers" his fear and recoils. The discontinuity is probably because Kogoro's fear was invented for [[Movie 2]] and did not originate in the manga where Kogoro is relatively fine around cliffs and tall buildings.
* Physician confirms that Kogoro would not survive Conan's stun-gun.<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-03-04/physician-confirms-that-detective-conan-kogoro-would-not-survive-conan-stun-gun/.143964 Anime New Network]</ref>
*In File 1047 and the Policewoman Serial Murder case, it’s revealed that he is involved with the neighbourhood association.
*It's revealed that in File 921 that Kogoro and his family use to live in an apartment before moving to the Mouri Detective Agency.
*According to Gosho in JUSTICE PLUS Super Digest Book, when Kogoro was Yuminaga-san’s subordinate Kogoro was scolded countless times because he trampled down an arson scene.
*According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book when he first ate Eri hi rad dish of beef stew he threw up
* According to Super Digest Book 100+ Kogoro ’s winning ticket in Wakita’s first appearance, was actually planted.

{{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 de-aged 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 on numerous occasions in different anime series (i.e. mainly cameo appearances) as well as other media.

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

[[File: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 businessman 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 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}}
[[File:Agasa shinichi.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi as Conan in his shrunken form with Hiroshi Agasa first time met and Professor Agasa will go to
Report to the police about this kid.]]

=== 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 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 School]] 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> In the beginning he found the kids annoying, but he started to warm up to them and even gives them missions to accomplish.

[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|thumb|200px|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 many later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterward that Shinichi told him what to say.

=== Encounter Black Organization ===
Soon after being shrunk, Conan sets the plan to pursue and arrest the Black Organization members. Initial attempts were in vain until Haibara appears and starts giving clues on their whereabouts. However, in some of his early attempts, Conan tends to underestimate the ability of the Organization, leading to situations where he or his close friends being harmed and almost killed. Once understood the Organization and having allies to help, among them Shuichi Akai, who had been undercover in the organization and knows their ways, his later plans are more successful to foil Black Organization's plans, although he hasn't been able to expose the Black Organization and arrest their members yet.
{{clear}}

== 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|left|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]
[[File:Ran conan do not tell.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi (Picture from the "[[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode one]]" version).]]
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 has shrunken into a child. As Shinichi, his deductive ability earned him the monikers "[[Wikipedia: Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and "Savior of the Japanese police force". Conan maintains 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".
Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he is 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.
[[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan whispers to [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]]
The only police officers with whom Conan can speak professionally are the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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.

While he thinks that criminals should be punished, he also seems willing to give culprits, who have attempted murder due to misunderstandings and fail, a second chance and let them off the hook.<ref>The Celebrities' Secret</ref><ref>Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter</ref><ref>Scuba Diving Murder Case</ref><ref>Poisoned Fisherman Attempted Murder Case</ref>

After he had one time failed to stop the culprit from committing suicide,<ref>[[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case|Episodes 11: Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]].</ref> he began to believe that a detective who has cornered a killer and just let him kill himself is no better than a murderer, and therefore he tries to do everything to stop it. At times when he fails to save the killer, it haunts him. At first, he's callous and unempathetic: in The Bandage Man Villa murder case, when the culprit threatens to commit suicide, Shinichi calls his bluff by outright telling him to do it. However, soon after that Shinichi suffers through his own Norbury with the Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, during which a culprit commits suicide because Shinichi identified them without thinking ahead to how the culprit might react. The next two cases were, a culprit planning to commit suicide to have Shinichi removing the lethal tools before confronting them and placing officers around the perimeter to prevent the culprit from jumping respectively—and in each instance, Shinichi is haunted by the death of the culprit in the Moonlight Sonata case, enough to snap at Hattori for offhandedly suggesting it may have been better if they let the culprit of the day kill themself, stating that a detective that allows that is "no better than a murderer himself." The Detective's Nocturne case caps off this development arc, with Shinichi accompanying and befriending a suicidal murderer to form an emotional connection and convince them not to kill themself.

However, an innate characteristic that he has, and probably had as Shinichi may be due to being a detective. Whenever he hears a scream or sees a culprit, he will immediately and without hesitation run toward the sound or culprit instinctively.

If he is with another adult, or detective, he will most likely be in front of 2 people running toward the sound.
If by himself or with some other non-detective, he will still be running toward the sound.
Whether it is a victim or a culprit, he will be one of the first 2 people.

If it is to a victim, and another detective or officer is present, he may hang back a little, but he has no hesitations to checking on the victim, looking for clues, or going after culprits.

And while it may have been somewhat forced on, Shinichi/Conan stops being as attention-seeking as he was in his original body.
Subtle, but during "The 3 'K's of Osaka" story, Conan/Shinichi didn't want to investigate the case because his soccer idol was a suspect (and later confirmed to be the actual culprit). Afterward, he stopped thinking like this, deciding that even if his friends, family, or someone close to either one is a suspect, he will consider that person a suspect until proven otherwise (such as Genta's dad being a possible suspect in "The Culprit is Genta's Dad" or Ran in "Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid").
In regards to his attitude in dealing with mysterious and dangerous Black Organization (B.O.), Shinichi initially and arrogantly believed he could easily take them down, taking only minimum precautions in the safety of himself and others. For example, when a B.O. member was suspected to be near in the "Reunion With The Black Organization" arc, Conan's way of protecting Haibara from being recognized is simply putting glasses on her; unfortunately, there was a B.O. member (Pisco) who instantly knew that Haibara was the shrunken Shiho Miyano and would have revealed her identity had he not been killed by Gin. It could've ended in more tragedy since Gin was very close to killing Haibara. This incident was a major wake-up call to the young detective that the organization isn't as easy to take down as he thought and that if he made a mistake, he or his loved ones could die. And while Shinichi/Conan still has a bit of a reckless side, he now asks for help when dealing with the B.O. and formulating plans to keep him and his allies safe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Conan full face.png|thumb|right|200px|]]
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 blazer 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.

Additionally, much like Hattori and Shinichi, Conan is incredibly popular. Ayumi and Haibara both have crushes on him, he has been hit on by girls around his shrunken age repeatedly, and even Jodie and Vermouth have both been charmed by his charisma. One even promised to make him her husband.

Conan eavesdrop Police investigation meeting in [[Zero the Enforcer|Conan the movie 22]] to save Kogoro mouri from being a suspect.]]
All of Shinichi's detective skills carry over to his Conan form, although Conan does not 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory 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 to link them to the crime. Conan has an 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 a few people like [[Heiji]], [[Saguru]] and [[Yusaku]] who are at the same detective level as Conan, with Yusaku, be the only person who is noticeably better than 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>

Additionally, in the [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Red, White, Yellow case]], Conan was specifically referred to and asked for help by a classmate.

=== Observation Sense ===
He is highly observant on almost every single thing in his life, whether at a crime scene or his everyday life, whether he is Shinichi or Conan. If he notices anything amiss, he will frequently leave the Detective Boys, or whoever to investigate immediately, esp. if he thinks the organization is involved, but his curiousity knows no bounds.

It is kind of like his brain will not rest, as long as he is awake because he frequently observes everything, and wants to investigate it.

[[Conan Cornered in the Darkness|At one point]], this is why he was kidnapped, and placed in a coffin with a fake bottom, in an old-style hearse, which the kidnappers did not know was going to be sent to the scrapyard and crushed within hours of placing him in there.

He is also a real people watcher and spends a lot of time watching people help determine careers, emotions, what is going on with them to name a few. If need be he will get up, and investigate further.

He frequently notices momentary facial expressions that are only on a person's face for a second or two, which is all it takes for him to register the true emotions of people and various culprits. Such as a suddenly hidden smile upon finding the body of one's spouse, and the list goes on.

Some examples are the following:

In [[Home of Beika's Grenier]], when the old man used a hand to stand up, despite the presence of 4 little children, Conan noticed instantly the look that the old woman gave her husband since he should not have used his hands to stand up in the presence of others.

In [[The Tense Tea Party]], in [[Haido Central Hospital]], Conan was watching [[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]], and instantly noticed how he reacted after a small child was counting down, "Three... Two... One..." and shouted out, "Zero!!" Since Amuro noticed his reaction, he had to cover it up, and say that "'Zero' was one of his nicknames when he was a little child."

This was the first clue to Conan that Amuro may not just be the Black Organization Member Bourbon, but [[Public Security Bureau|something else too]]. During [[The Scarlet Return]], Conan began to deduce from his observations, that Amuro was from the Japanese Secret Police, which became confirmed by the end of the saga.

Even when he was little he was practicing observing details and guessing careers of people, [[Episode 881|not always accurately]], but he was a little boy at the time. This became much more accurate as he became older, and he retained this knowledge when he shrunk down to Conan.

=== Being Watched or Paranoia Sense ===
However, this particular Sense is the sense to know when he is being watched or observed by others. It may be called Paranoia, but it is not Paranoid if someone is really watching or following him, which he can quickly pick up on usually.

This may stem from his involvement with the [[Black Organization]], and others.

It may also help that his parents like to watch their son in disguise, and [[Yukiko Kudo|esp. his Master Of Disguise Mother]], with his [[Yusaku Kudo|Mystery Author father's]] habit of testing his son's observations and deductions from the time when he was a young child.

This ability is even more important due to the Black Organization wanting both [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] and his [[Shinichi Kudo|teenage self]] 'Dead," since it helps to protect them.

This sense comes in a lesser degree as well:

Although Conan can speak professionally with 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, as well as everyone, who know his identity, it does cause problems with everyone else.
He can even speak this way to the [[Detective Boys]].

This Sense also allows him to eventually realize when he is being highly descriptive, and rambling with adult knowledge, for him to quickly cover it up with "saw it on Tv'" "Heard it from [[Kogoro Mouri|Uncle]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], or [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]," and to begin talking and acting like a kid, even though the Detective Boys do not get why he suddenly goes all child-like, which is the only time he does.

It may also help him to know when [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] is suspicious that he is Shinichi Kudo, so he has to attempt to behave more like a child to mislead her for her protection.

This sense also allows him to determine if it is safe to use his tranquilizer on someone for the "sleeping Detective" routine. If he is being too closely watched, he has to continue to give hints, and possibly throughout the entire deduction, if he is unable to tranquilize someone: Kogoro, [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], or someone else, if necessary.

This sense did not seem to activate at all at [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|the shrine]], when he was talking to Jodie, however, after a disguised Bourbon had a little chat with Jodie, and secretly placed a listening device in her sleeve, he wandered off, so that he can continue listening to them.

However, with that deceased pickpocketing case, he and the other pickpocket victims were brought to the crime scene, so he continued listening to Jodie and Conan's conversation, although he did not appear to watch or pay any attention to Jodie, Conan, Agasa, or any of the 4 kids, he probably had a good view of [[Haibara]], unlike every other time, [[Sweet and Cold Delivery Service|when she attempts to hide her face from him]].

If he was visually watching intently, Conan would probably have picked it up, but Bourbon's observations were done in a way, that did not place Conan on high alert, except for when Jodie kept bringing up "Shuu."

Needless to say, after the [[Kogoro in the Bar]] case, when Takagi told him some information, he was really on high alert, and this sense may not have activated due to his panic mode, which was still evident at the beginning of [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well]] case, although he was being observed by Bourbon, who was listening around the corner, however for several hours later, he did appear to be quite paranoid, and maybe that is why it did not appear to activate because he was already on high alert and frightened at the time.

Now, this sense is sometimes just a fleeting sense, however, something does seem to activate it, even if it was just momentarily, but it does leave a hint that someone might be watching him.

=== Speed Reader ===
In [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], he was shown to be able to read through hospital records at a lightning-fast speed.

=== Killer Radar ===
This radar is not completely accurate, but at times, he only has to see a person to know that they are the killer.

In the first episode, he could sense that [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] were killers, but that did not stop him from tailing Vodka, only to be knocked out by Gin, and fed a [[Apoptoxin 4869|poison pill, which made him shrink to the body of a 7-year-old]].

In [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion]], he knew who the killer was within minutes of the body being discovered, and merely had to get the evidence and figure out the trick.

There are many other instances as well.

In [[The Mysterious Woman With Amnesia Case]], he probably would have picked up on the amnesiac woman being a killer, but she did have amnesia, although he highly suspected when he saw her hands, which are the hands of someone who works with wire. He picked up that she was a hitwoman, who specialized in killing by use of a wire garrote, which she used to strangle her victims.

In one episode, someone fell from a balcony, and Conan instantly knew this woman was the killer. The police brought up the information of her husband being killed during a robbery a while back.

After she was questioned and was allowed to leave, Conan began acting and begging her to let him ride in her expensive-looking car, and she did. They left without [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].

He even managed to have her take him to see her place.

After she left him alone, he began investigating, and around the time of his deduction, Kogoro called him, and the call ended soon afterward.

When Conan stated that he knows that she is responsible for the death of her husband, and the guy who just fell, she threatened to kill him, and he lets her know that he hit redial on the phone, and Kogoro stated, "The police are on there way."

=== Suicide Alertness ===
This sense allows him to determine if a person, and most likely the culprit is likely to commit suicide, which would probably be a result of the deduction stage of a case.
Sometimes, it may be simply obvious, with the culprit stating their suicidal intentions, but it is not usually that way, and Conan's sense was developed after a specific incident.

In [[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]], Conan figured out that the serial killer planned to die, like his father, and before their mind could be changed, the culprit threw Conan through the window, just before the building went up in flames. Since that incident, Conan is more determined to take the suicidal choice away from the culprits.

In [[Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case]], Conan had asked, [[Heiji]], "If he ever killed anyone before," stating that he feels that letting a person commit suicide when it can be stopped is the same as killing the person oneself.
While Conan was talking with Heiji, he was also replacing the gasoline with water to stop the culprit's Murder/Suicide.

In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken.

The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency if Kogoro cannot name the killer and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].

After [[the Detective Boys]] managed to do the footwork, Conan was able to finish solving the case, but he first had to stop the gunman from committing a murder/suicide, so he bluffed that the sister killed herself.
After the gunman was arrested, Conan finished solving the case, out of earshot of the suicidal man and named the killer, who is not who they thought it was.

In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], Conan quickly figured out that the woman in the agency's bathroom was the killer of the "accused deceased guy.
After [[Bourbon|Amuro]], [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], Ran, and Conan escorted her home to her apartment, then Conan behaved like he was desperate to use the bathroom, which made sense, since a corpse was on the toilet seat of the apartment until the police removed it, and it is still a crime scene.

When everyone else went to the kitchen for tea or something, Conan rushed to the bathroom and quickly went in the other direction to investigate the apartment. Most likely, he discovered bugs, and especially a bug in the suitcase with another corpse, which was under the bed.

When he was finished with his investigation, he left the apartment and waited for her.

After Masumi called Ran, Amuro and Kogoro realized there are bugs present, and Amuro hung up on Masumi.

Amuro has a bug detector, and while Amuro, Kogoro, and Ran went on the search to discover all of the bugs in the apartment, the woman made up an excuse and immediately bumped into Conan, who was waiting for her.

She agreed to take him with her to a nearby convenience store and gave him some juice, which she drugged with sleeping pills. After he appeared to fall asleep, she continued driving.

When Kogoro, Ran, and Amuro discovered the body and noticed Conan's absence, Kogoro called the culprit/kidnapper, and she stated that Conan will be returned in the morning.

After Kogoro and Amuro did more investigating, and noticing that bank robbery, and that 2 of the suspects are the dead guy in the suitcase and the deceased one at the agency.

Ran told Masumi and Agasa that Conan has been kidnapped, which of course sets the stage for the big rescue scene:

Masumi on her motorcycle

[[Subaru]], [[Agasa]], and [[Haibara]] in Subaru's car, with Haibara wearing the tracking glasses.

Amuro, Ran, and Kogoro are in another Vehicle, with Kogoro in the back seat.

At some point, Conan stopped acting like he was asleep, and gave her his deduction and even helped her to discover which of those 3 women is the third bank robber, who killed her boyfriend in the bank. However, he would not give her the answer straight away, since he told her, "I do not want to lose anyone. I mean you," since he read that she intended to kill the third robber, and then herself.

By bonding with her, he managed to get her to agree to let the police handle it, and to turn herself in, once he told her.
His plan was working splendidly until the third robber, with a shooting gun, entered the car, and grabbed and immobilized Conan, as well as holding tightly to his right wrist, so that he could not tranquilize her, which is where the rescuers came in.

In another episode, Conan was with [[the Detective Boys]], when they came across a man, and after he dropped his lottery tickets, they helped him to pick it up. This man was talking positively about the future, and he even had lunch with the 5 children.

After he left, Conan notified and began teaching the other Detective Boys the signs that this man was about to commit suicide today, and they followed this man to a subway station.

Conan stating, "It'll hurt, you know," referring to jumping in front of the subway train.

Conan and all of the Detective Boys: [[Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko]], [[Ayumi]], and [[Haibara]] told him their evidence that he was about to commit suicide.

Conan even managed to help him to locate the winning lottery ticket that he had lost, which was inside of the eyeglass container that his sick and hospitalized granddaughter gave him. He had not opened it since he lost that ticket. He was contemplating suicide to have his life insurance pay for her operation, thankfully he now has the lottery ticket, which may be able to help his granddaughter.

After all, if he did commit suicide, the insurance company would not have paid it, if they were aware it was a suicide, which thankfully these 5 kids prevented.

Thankfully, Conan began teaching the other Detective Boys some of the signs of a suicidal person, so they may be aware of them next time they find another suicidal person.

=== Bluffing and Telling Lies===
He can bluff if needed to come to the correct deduction. However, he is not a great liar.

Bluffing is giving misinformation, to trip up the culprit. A few examples of Conan's Bluffs are the following:

In [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he stated the incorrect question of number 241 on that Holmes Test to prove that the culprit did not answer any of the 1,000 questions since he knew the test grader was already deceased.

In [[The Case of the Lucky Calico|the Lucky Calico]] case, he told 2 bluffs, although only 1 bluff was discussed:

The first one was to mistake the gender of a male calico, and stating it was a female, to gauge how this "supposed owner" would react since male calico cats are worth a fortune. Conan managed to see the reaction before [[the Detective Boys]] blew it. Either way, this "supposed owner would have backed out if the calico was a female.

The second bluff was discussed when [[Azusa]] stated that she did not know that "when a group of people is together, the cat will always jump to the one in the middle." [[Amuro]] stated that Conan did a bluff so that he can perform his experiment with the calico and the 3 "supposed owners," before remarking that Conan is like a cat sharpening his claws." Amuro also did not state that it was to allow more time to pass, so that the [http://catnip catnip], would not affect [[Taii]] or [[Goro]], so that Taii's true owner can be properly identified.

In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken.

The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency if Kogoro cannot name the killer and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].

After the [[Detective Boys]] managed to do the footwork, Conan was able to finish solving the case, but he first had to stop the gunman from committing a murder/suicide, so he bluffed that the sister killed herself.
After the gunman was arrested, Conan finished solving the case, out of earshot of the suicidal man and named the killer, who is not who they thought it was.

As far as his cover of Conan Edogawa, he does have a hard time keeping others ignorant of his true identity.
It does not help that he behaves more like an adult, when not actively playing with the Detective Boys, and he quickly switches to Adult Mode, if an investigation is in order, due to a crime or something else entirely.

Two major examples of his being a lousy liar:

When he had a hold of [[Kir]]'s shoe, with his bug and transmitter, at the park, she asked him if he followed her, while applying her CIA Lie Test to him.
She made him feel weird, and he did say "no," but she knew that he did follow her, and lied about it. It is a good thing that she previously turned off her camera or wire, so the other [[Black Organization|Black Organization Operatives]] may not kill him. She then thanked him for "picking up her shoe for her," before leaving.

In [[Haido Central Hospital]], [[Amuro]] asked Conan if he remembers his friend, [[Kusuda Rikumichi]], who was a patient, but went missing.
[[The Tense Tea Party|Conan, quickly trying to end that line of questioning from Bourbon, quickly answered, "No."]]

Amuro smiled and told him that he was amazing. He then went to question other people nearby, and returned to Conan, and stated, "Most people are not confident in their memories to instantly remember a person by their name only. Usually, they have to ask questions, before answering."
It is kind of like Amuro was aware of how amazing Conan is at so many different things, but he can't lie to save his life.
It is like Amuro decided to give the kid a tip on how to tell a convincing lie.

=== Strategist ===
He may not have always been a great strategist, but his strategies are becoming much better.

In [[Boy Genta's Misfortune]], he deduced information of the culprit, and ... He may not have organized the stakeout of that building yet, however, he did organize a roadblock with Sato, who got in contact with Yumi in [[The Man from Chicago]], when a [[James Black|foreign man]] was kidnapped. Unfortunately, Yumi did let them through since they were in a police car and dressed as policemen, however when they deduced that Conan came up with a scheme so that the police can surround the culprits, by making it look like they were chasing some kidnappers, who kidnapped some kids. The plan worked wonders. By the way, even James Black the kidnappee, knew who staged his rescue with that ploy, after just one encounter with the five "Detective Boys," and all Conan had to go on was "P & A."

In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], when Conan was on the phone with [[Vodka]], pretending to be the recently found '[[Suguru Itakura|dead guy]],' he successfully managed to move the meet up. He wanted to have the meet before they found out the guy was dead, and he was hoping to get fingerprints, saliva, DNA, etc.

The thing is it may have worked if [[Gin]] did not stop Vodka from touching the item. In short, Gin became aware that someone crafty, like a fox, is after them. In short, Conan forgot, who he was dealing with, the "[[Black Organization|Men in Black]]," and to be more precise, the two that [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|shrunk, and almost killed]] him before.

Conan managed to survive that encounter, but just barely due to Gin discounting something important. At any rate, Conan was stuck in that locker for several hours, and even lost some oxygen, and blacked out for a while. Conan has since that time became much more cautious when dealing with the organization, unfortunately, there is no one-hundred-percent safe way to take on that organization.

In [[Episode 345|Head-To-Head]], after he received an invitation from [[Vermouth]], he asked [[Haibara]] about her, and decided to tranquilize her, and lock her in the basement, and attempted to hide the spare tracking glasses.

He mentioned to [[Agasa]], that [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s name is on the invitation and envelope, and his: Conan Edogawa's name is on the letter, in short, Vermouth knows his identity.

He e-mailed someone and got a reply and a sudden cough.
He inspected his house and found [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother]].

He told his mother about Vermouth, and her knowing his identity. He had her do some disguises.
Yukiko disguised [[Hattori]] as first a teenage Shinichi, and then as the Invisible Man for the party.
She then disguised Conan to took like Haibara.
She then gave herself a Medusa Disguise and accompanied Hattori on the ship with Kudo's invitation.

[[Jodie]] picked up Haibara, who was a disguised Conan, and he told her what to say for Vermouth to reveal herself.

He planned on having her take him into the Organization, but she attempted to kill Jodie, he unmasked himself, and his plan went out the window, when Haibara escaped from the basement, and found the spare tracking glasses, and arrived at the scene since she was tracking Conan.

In [[Clash of Red and Black]], he came up with a few strategies:
He told his plan to [[Akai]], who was heavily involved with both major SECRET strategies.

First, you need a "[[Eisuke Hondo|Prince]] to wake up the [[Kir|sleeping Princess]]," which means Eisuke to wake up his sister, who is continuing to fake her comatose condition.

Then Conan, Akai, Kir, and [[Camel]] are involved in the returning Kir Undercover in the [[Black Organization]], keeping everyone else in the dark, until she is back undercover.

Then Conan came up with the plan to fake Akai's death by out-guessing [[Gin]], the entire way. Only Akai and Kir, as well as Conan, were in on this plan, but Conan could not be present, at this time at all, and did need to give Jodie his phone with the needed fingerprints. Everyone else was left in the dark, except for [[James Black]], who noticed the glue-like substance on Akai's fingertips just before the meet.

In [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]], Conan had even less time to come up with a working strategy, since he did have his guard down. Thankfully, his mother let him know Vermouth was on the train, and he saw the Picture [[Mitsuhiko]] took of [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] when she saved them a little earlier.

He had to quickly come up with a plan, which used an all-star cast of himself, his mother, [[Subaru]], and [[Kaito Kid|Kid disguised as Sherry]] as the finishing touches.

That strategy worked out big time, since they were able to save Haibara's life, discover [[Bourbon]]'s identity, and make Vermouth agree to quit trying to kill her.

In [[Scarlet showdown|the Scarlet episodes]], after Camel let it slip that [[Rikumichi Kusuda|Kusada]] shot himself in the head, Conan had less than a day to come up with a plan that made Bourbon think that Subaru and Akai were 2 different people and to save Akai again.

This time, Akai was in the back of Jodie and Camel's car.

His mother, Yukiko Kudo, was disguised as her husband appearing on tv at an awards ceremony.

His father, Yusaku Kudo, was dressed as [[Subaru]].
His father was wearing a voice-changing facemask and did a bit of coughing.
Sometimes he answered, and Conan listening in another room, with several cameras, had to also use Subaru's voice when talking to Bourbon in the living room.

=== 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 a 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 is 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 backflip on his skateboard 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.

=== Acting Ability ===
He may not have great acting ability, however, he is good enough to accomplish his goals.

In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], he was given some juice, drugged with sleeping pills. He noticed that the safety seal was broken, so he pretended to drink it, and also at some time, appeared to fall asleep, spilling half of the juice on the back seat floorboard of her car, and acted asleep for a long time.

At some point, she even laid him down in the back seat, where he remained in that pose for a long time.

When it was dark, and she stopped to get gas and go to the restroom, she covered him with her coat, so he would not get sick.

He continued acting asleep when she returned, although he probably went through her coat pockets when she was away.

He continued acting asleep, until he decided that he had enough evidence for his deduction, and to give it to her.

In [[Two Days with the Culprit]], after he was kidnapped by Ryousuke Oomine, when he had an opening in some kind of room, he acted like he was scared of a rat or something, and began hugging, but in reality, he was frisking him to determine if he is armed.

After he solved the case, he asked Ryousuke Oomine, "how are you at acting," and they went to the location of the three suspects, and put on an act like he was about to kill Conan, for the culprit to reveal himself. It worked.

In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night]], Conan did a good job of acting like [[Haibara]] in the car with [[Jodie]], but he probably broke character to tell Jodie what to say to [[Vermouth]] to get her to reveal herself to them, but that also earned his trust in Jodie at the same time.

After he removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wristwatch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.

After Vermouth abducted the unconscious Conan and drove some distance away, she e-mailed the boss and began thinking. When she touched his shoulders, she felt some wires and stuff on him, so she cut his coat, and found some tubes going from Conan's body into a box. She started to rip out the wires from the box, and heard, "I wouldn't if I were you." If those wires were pulled, it would send information to the machine that he is dead, and that e-mail that she just sent would be sent to his partner and the police. It is unknown just how long he was asleep, and when he woke up, but he later recalled the sound of the digits to the Boss.

In [[The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History]], the TV Special, while in a public bathroom, and after Conan saw some important evidence, he realized the danger, and faked a slip on the wet floor, where he was promptly chloroformed, and abducted.

When he woke up, he pretended that he had amnesia.
He eventually revealed that he was Edogawa Conan Detective to one of the people involved, however, the amnesiac child act had to continue for the duration of the case.

In [[The Woman with White Hands|The Woman with White Hands Case]], while rehearsing his lines for tomorrow's play, Conan is playing 'Ikku' in the school play.

All of the following: [[Kobayashi-sensei]], [[Rumi Wakasa|Rumi-sensei]] as well as Conan's classmates are astonished at his wonderful acting and delivery of his lines.

He told Haibara that he played that part when he was in third grade, and his parents had trained him well. With [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother being an actress]], and his [[Yusaku Kudo|father being a mystery writer]], who suggested a better phrase for him to say rather than the written line.

In short, neither of his parents would have permitted him to give anything less than stellar performance, so they made certain his performance was perfect. This is why he missed several rehearsals as Conan as he remembered most of his lines.

In [[A Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case]], at a beer garden at night, Conan overheard this man on the phone and surmised that his child had been abducted. Surprisingly Kogoro and Ran listened, and they followed this man, who they found out was a dentist.

However, the only way to find out more, and everything, is to talk to the dentist. Since there may be some onlookers, Conan decided to play the part of a patient.

He did a magnificent job of acting like a little boy who had an excruciatingly bad toothache to convince any onlookers that he was a patient so that they could enter the Dentist's office and talk to the Dentist. He appeared to be even louder than Kogoro on the intercom, asking for his child to be able to see the dentist, even though the dentist's office is closed.

As good as he is at acting, he is not always great at it.

Most notably, when he is petrified.

When he hears the [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children's melody]], he is unable to even act, like it is nothing, and esp. if he hears it in regards to dialing the [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Boss's]] [[The Raven Chaser|E-mail]] [[Dissonance of the Stradivarius Violin|address]].

At the [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|shrine with Jodie]], he was definitely unguarded, and the two did quite a bit of talking: before and after she had been bugged by a disguised [[Bourbon]] (Claiming to be [[Tohei Benzaki|a hostage, who was coincidentally pickpocketed just before being knocked out by Bourbon]], at the same bank with Jodie and the [[Scar Akai|scarred guy]]), until a disguised Vermouth (Claiming to be his [[Motoe Benzaki| 6-month pregnant wife, who taped up Jodie]] at the bank) removed the bug.

In the [[Kogoro in the Bar|Kogoro at the Bar Case]], [[Takagi Wataru|Detective Takagi]] notified Conan, that Tohei Benzaki, claims that he was never involved in a pickpocket case and that he is single, and Conan begins to remember that the Bank robbers separated the hostages, who came with someone, from those who came alone. Only those who came alone taped up the ones who came with others.

This placed Conan in a panicky state, and he began running from the bar, probably to the [[Agasa|professor]]'s house, since it is unlikely that he would have fled back to the Detective Agency, since [[Haibara]] might be in danger. If he did go to Agasa's house, it may also have placed [[Subaru]]/ [[Akai]] in danger too.

In [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|the Bathroom where Ran Collapsed As Well Case]], he was still running from the bar.

He began thinking that Bourbon and Vermouth may have made those purposeful mistakes in their story to trap him into making a mistake too, so he tried to calm down and called Haibara, who is safe, at this time. He then hung up.

Around the corner, Bourbon had been closely watching him, when he was on the phone.

Later that day, [[Ran]] and Conan were in an apartment complex lobby, while they were waiting for [[Eri Kisaki|Ran's mother]], to have lunch.

Conan was attempting to act normal, although he failed miserably since he was looking around the entire time, since they arrived, and probably ever since he hung up from Haibara earlier.

He was so obviously frightened, that Ran asked if he is okay. He answered in the affirmative, but soon afterward, he was sweating bullets.

Ran thought about taking him home, rather than eating with her Mom, since he might be coming down with something.

Soon afterward, an already terrified Conan begins hearing the shutter of a camera and becomes even more terrified. Soon afterward, he saw a camera take his picture from behind a nearby chair, and [[Masumi]] came out of hiding, which helped his fear to disappear, so that he can go back to his normal "Not terrified for your life" state again.

She probably witnessed his fear, while working on a case for her client, but chose to help him to calm down finally.

In short, when he is terrified, he is unable to act like everything is normal.

Another way that he fails at acting is when he cracks the culprit's trick and gets the last bit of evidence for his deduction.

If anyone is watching Conan at these times, he may have some explaining to do.
However, no one is paying attention to him at these many times. They are either not around, due to 'less footwork' or completely ignoring him, unless they (Kogoro) want to get on to him for being where he shouldn't, and react promptly to that reprimand, rather than observing him.

He has shown both of these expressions a lot, and sometimes even both of them.
The first is when he usually figures out the trick, and the momentary reaction he has when everything clicks into place.
The second has finally been termed as a 'Prankster Smile' in the lucky calico case, by the detective boys, most noticeably Haibara and Ayumi in that order to realize that when he shows that smile, he has cracked the case and figured out everything.

Unfortunately, he is frequently unable to act bored much of the time, even as Conan, since he is a genius, who could probably teach his high school teachers things as Shinichi Kudo, and bring him back to elementary school, and he is bored to death if he can't use his intellectual brain, which does help that most of the culprits do have a trick that requires to be cracked if they are to be caught.

However, if a trick, code, or riddle is highly perplexing, Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement, which he is not good at hiding from the observant.

=== Thirst For Intellectual Stimuli ===
In [[The Secret of the Moon, the Star, and the Sun]], Professor Agasa made a treasure hunt game for the Detective Boys, really wanting it to be very difficult that Shinichi would practically give up, forgetting that if it was that way, the three real first graders would be unable to crack it at all.

At any rate, Conan had already cracked the case and found the professor's box within five minutes of entering the house, and he was focused on a much more complex code that someone else had come up with at the house.

The Detective Boys reprimanded Conan for being lazy, and not help to figure out where the clues to the Professor's treasure hunt, so that Conan had to lead the lazy children to each clue, so it is surprising that he did not just tell them where the box is, and don't bother him while he is focused on this less boring code.

However, Agasa noticed Conan's deliriously happy expression when he was getting to solve a complicated riddle. Conan even stated, "The more I don't understand, the more excited I get."

Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement in these cases, much like his boredom when he cannot use his brain, and [[The Final Screening Murder Case]] showed his limit is only two hours than he HAS to use his brain to be HAPPY.

He only seems happy when he can use his brain or with Ran, and even then, there are lots of idiots in his world, not saying names though. Even though she is not one usually.

Thankfully, most of the culprits do use a trick or code to excite him, in contrast to a very simple one in [[The Secret of the High Sales]], which was solved by 3 real first-grade children. He even stated at the end of that case, "His brain needs a smart culprit." Due to the simpleness of the culprit, he had a hard time with that case. That may explain why Haibara was uninvolved in that case since she was aware 'the culprit' was too simple and unintellectual for Conan's level of complexity.

In fact, in [[Conan vs. Kaitou Kid]], he was bored at the talk of the thief, since "This is stupid. Thieves are boring.," and planned on going to bed, however as soon as they mentioned a coded message of the announcement, he was all ears. In fact. Even though he cracked the code at Beika Museum, in the daytime, he did not tell anyone else that they were far off the mark.

Instead, he snuck out at night to meet the Kid that night. Conan asked Agasa about tome information in his father's files, before meeting Kid, since he was fascinated to meet Kaito Kid, a "strange retro-thief, whose crazy enough to announce his moves."

Thankfully, there are some detectives and federal agents, where he can show his intellectual stimuli, and this is done by them recognizing that he is the one solving Kogoro's cases and that he is a very smart child, even if they are unaware of who he is:
[[Jodie Starling]], [[James Black]], [[Miwako Sato]], [[Kansuke Yamato]], and [[Yui Uehara]], and even [[Wataru Takagi]], and the famous Shogi player, [[Shukichi Haneda]], an [[Black Organization|undercover]] [[Japanese Intelligence Agencies|Federal Agent]], [[Rei Furuya]].

It is hard to say if he can even hide his intellect and thirst for it from [[Hyoue Kuroda]], a [[Rum]] Contender, since before their [[Kawanakajima Murder Case|first case]], Kuroda had already allowed it to be known that he was aware of Conan's deductive intelligence, by his introduction of Conan, 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and say that Conan can crack cases by seeing what no one else does. Conan Edogawa, Detective," in front of the Nagano Policemen present. In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent]], he refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: Ninzaburo Shiratori and Inspector Yuminaga.

As much as Conan may want to hide his intellect from Hyoue Kuroda until he deduces Rum's identity, it may not be possible.
After all, in a case, Kuroda did tell Takagi and Megure to do whatever Conan says, and in another case, he did instruct Bourbon to answer all of Conan's questions about the case, when he realized that Conan is also investigating this case too.

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

In [[A June Bride Murder Case]], In the manga, Conan rinses out Miss Matsumoto's mouth with milk after he sees her collapsing, to neutralize the poison in her body. It is later stated that this bit of first aid may have been the reason why Miss Matsumoto was discharged from the hospital sooner than anticipated. These parts are cut from the anime entirely.

In [[Scuba Diving Murder Case]], after a woman had suffered a snake bite from a water snake, Conan immediately grabbed a glass of ice tea and gave it to those sucking out the poison, and treating her.

Although Kogoro did not know of any of this, Eri told him, "Ice Tea has Tannin. The first thing to do in the case of a snake bite... is to make use of the Tannin component in tea to clean the wound and alleviate the poison." While Kogoro is flabbergasted that Conan is aware of what to do in a snake bite, Eri states, "That boy is quite sharp. Compared to people like us, sitting here with our arms folded, he's much more of an asset. More importantly, the ex-policeman here doesn't seem to know a thing about this."

In [[The Celebrities' Secret]], is the first case that does go more into detail about Conan's first aid skills, such as giving sugar sticks to a person who attempted suicide with a hypoglycemic drug, which is used to treat Diabetes. The other case that showed his first aid skills was in the Scuba Diving Murder Case, when he quickly grabbed a glass of ice tea, due to the needed Tannin, to combat the poisonous snake bite. In the other case, he handed the tea to the rescuers, however in this case, he began administering it himself.

In all three cases, the person survived, due to his first aid knowledge and skills.

However, these are just three of the cases that showcase it or two in the anime.

=== Stamina ===
It is hard to say about his stamina since he was shrunk down to Conan.
It is not as good when he is in his 17-year-old body since he now has the body of a 7-year-old.

Without Agasa's gadgets, His strength is also that of a 7-year-old too, which includes his kicking strength as well.

However, he is a very active, and maybe hyperactive little kid, who frequently uses his feet and legs, whether running, kicking, and skateboarding around the town. So his feet and leg muscles are probably stronger than when he was first shrunk, but still..., he would be toast without the professor's Gadgets and especially his superkick shoes.

He probably has normal stamina for a little kid, although some of the feats, and esp. in non-cannon movies, may seem to exaggerate his stamina, but even in the scene when Ran was pushed in front of a moving train, and Conan immediately jumped down, grabbed her, and dragged her to safety, he was panting afterward.

=== Music ===
[[File: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 a 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 that he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 [[The Secret Played by the Diary|(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. Surprisingly, Conan recognizes Twinkle Twinkle Little Star lyric from hearing 4 sets of 7-times tapping on the phone and can sing this song very well when he distracts a serial killer from assaulting Naeko in File 1017 [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|(Episode 974)]].

Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in Movie 12, 'Full Score of Fear' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

=== Bomb defusion ===
Conan can defuse a bomb effortlessly without external instruction. This has been demonstrated once in canon, and multiple times in movies.

When Conan was in the area with the bomb, which only he could reach, while the bomb squad was trying to determine the kind of bomb that Conan is with so that they can give the little boy instructions on how to disarm the bomb.<ref name="ep304">[[Episode 304]]</ref>

He had already begun disarming it, and only stopped, when he realized if he waited until 3 seconds before the detonation, he will receive a hint as to the location of another bomb, so he hesitated, and discovered that it was Teitan High School, with the letters E-V-I-T. He also managed to disarm it before it blew up.

=== Criminal psychology ===
Conan shows a keen understanding of criminal psychology, occasionally being able to sense if someone is the true criminal. He can also predict the movement and plan of the criminals, and in some cases, he used this skill to "bluff". By deliberately giving the wrong deduction, he managed to make the criminal reveal the key evidence of the case, confess, abandon suicide's attempt, or lead them to the wrong ends (if they are chasing Conan).

In non-canon, it was shown that if the criminal doesn't conform to the general intellectual pattern, Conan will have trouble deducing their crime, even if it is so obvious that the Detective Boys can deduce perfectly.

[[File:Conan First met Kaito Kid.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan introduces himself to Kaito Kid when they first met. "Conan Edogawa, a detective!" in [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode One]].]]

=== Reverse Psychology ===
In the Clash of Red and Black Arc, he planned along with Shuichi how to replace Kir ack undercover in the Black Organization, without telling the rest of the FBI until it was over, however he did have to outthink Gin.

He had to outthink Gin, and implement Reverse Psychology, if not Reverse Reverse Psychology when planning Akai's Faked death at Railla Pass.

They knew that Kir would have to prove herself by killing Akai and that Gin always kills with headshots, so he would demand that of her.

He also knew it would be at Railla Pass, and used Kusada's body, thanks to that spy shooting himself in the head and committing suicide.

He also knew since Kusada had already touched his phone, make it look to the other FBI Members that Akai touched Conan's phone, but Akai had some substance to keep his fingerprints off of it entirely.

In short, Conan had to predict what Gin would demand and where at, along with Kir and Akai, and at the same time, making Gin think that it is all "his idea."

The only ones allowed in on the following secrets:

Placing Kir back undercover:
Conan, who planned it
Akai
Kir
Andre Camel, who had to drive her.

The other FBI members did not find out until she was placed back undercover, otherwise, they may have given the act away.

Akai's Faked Death:
Conan, who planned it, and even arranged for Akai to meet his Mom and Agasa somewhere else to help his new disguise.
Kir, who was to kill him to prove herself to Gin
Akai, who was to die
James Black, who noticed the glue or substance to Akai's fingertips, just before the fateful meeting.

No one else was let in on that secret at all, until the scarlet episodes, when Jodie and Camel finally learned about it, including Bourbon, who figured it out due to his keen observation skills.

=== "7 Children" or "[[Nanatsu no Ko]]" Alertness ===
This can also be called the Boss's E-Mail Address Alertness as well.

After Conan's confrontation with Vermouth, when he appeared to still be unconscious from his tranquilizer dart, he heard her press the digits on her cell phone to reply to "BOSS" of the Black Organization at the end of Head to Head Halloween Party episode.

He remembered the sounds of the digits being pressed when she was dialing the boss's e-mail address to respond to a message that he had sent her.

Conan may be tone-deaf, but he does have Perfect Pitch and can recognize the tune of the Boss's e-mail address.

At the end of The Dissonance of the Stradivarius Episode 387, he found out those digits are for the song of "7 Children" or "Nanatsu no Ko," which happens to the Boss of the Black Organization's E-mail address.

He can recognize that tune in an instant, and immediately is on the hunt for the Black Organization Member, who just e-mailed their Boss.
He cannot even pretend to act normally when he hears this tune.

Even just the first four digits place him on high alert before he discovered the name of the tune.

Even though Haibara stated that the e-mail address is a Pandora Box, which should never be opened, or dialed.

Since he can recognize the Boss's e-mail immediately, which has shown many times:

After his bug and transmitter, accidentally fell on the ground, and Rena stepped on it, he immediately heard her dial the Boss's e-mail address, and found out her code name of Kir, among other stuff.

That tune also came in handy at finding out that a Black Organization Spy had infiltrated Haido Central Hospital, where Kir was hospitalized due to the e-mail being dialed.

Even in the Non-cannon movie: The Raven Chaser, after Conan found out that the Boss's E-mailed had been dialed, he immediately chased after a disguised Vermouth, and saw her enter Gin's Porsche. Unfortunately, Irish, another disguised Black Organization Member, who was impersonating the Superintendant Kiyonaga Matsumoto, noticed Conan's behavior, and immediately began investigating Conan, and he even managed to obtain Conan's fingerprints and match them to Kudo Shinichi's fingerprints, when he held that mask and helmet in the Desperate Revival Festival, earlier.
He may not have noticed if it was not for the Panic Mode or Near Panic Mode that this number and song instills in Conan.

=== Computer skills ===
Conan has some programming skills, for being able to create Mouri Detective Agency's website. He doesn't know about hacking, at least he is not able to crack Black Organization's encrypted data.

=== Kaitou Kid radar ===
Conan occasionally seems to be able to sense if [[Kaitou Kid]] is present at a crime scene.<ref>Black Star</ref><ref>Luna Memoria File 964 page 10</ref> Unlike [[Shiho Miyano#"Black Organization sense"|Haibara's "Black Organization smell" sense]], Conan's Kid detector isn't very reliable.

=== Codebreaker and Codewriter ===
He is great at discovering codes, as well as deciphering them.

He frequently can decipher Kid's codes, among many others.
In the paper airplane episode, Subaru and Conan, both managed to decipher the airplane code at about the same time.
He was also able to decipher from E-V-I-T, that the next bomb was Teitan High School.<ref name="ep304"></ref>

He has even been shown to be able to write codes as well. When Conan, Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, were locked in a freezing delivery van, without their cell phones, and all they had on hand were some odds and ends, taxi receipt, and Taii, the cat. Conan managed to create a code out of the taxi receipt, which would look like trash to almost everyone, except the only person who would be able to decipher it in an instant, Amuro, who works at Cafe Poirot, and Taii makes his stop there every day at around this time. The code read, COR...P..SE," and the license plate number.<ref>[[Episode 722]]</ref>

He then placed the note in Taii's collar, who managed to escape. However, when Azusa was about to hand the note to Amuro, it blew away in the wind, only for Bourbon to find out the spelling from Azusa, and pieced together instantly, "Corpse." After Azusa stated that Conan knows the cat comes here every day, he took the rest of the day off work to track the note using his Wind App, taking into account the location of the building.

Conan then remembered the cake that Agasa ordered for a delivery at a special time, located it, and wrote a message to redirect the cake to the Kudo Residence, where Subaru is living, and redirected it, "In the care of Mr. Kudo," and even added a message in the customer's copy of the receipt so that Subaru would know that they are trapped in the delivery van.

Subaru sent a package, which was a cell phone to help the kids. However, they were found out by the culprits. Fortunately, Amuro came in time and disabling the culprits. Conan was able to use that phone to call the police.

=== Literature ===
Conan recognizes a phrase ("Kill me tomorrow--but let me live tonight.") from Shakespeare's Othello, which helps him realize that the victim was rehearsing a play, not having an argument with someone.<ref>[[Episode 975]]</ref>

== 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 named [[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.

However, when she introduced herself to him at night in front of the Kudo and Agasa's house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the Black Organization, even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ...

After the professor's case, he saw her real tears, when she was crying in his shirt, and since then their relationship has improved dramatically, and they even protect each other.

She is also helping him to be more cautious than his initial, "The Black Organization is involved. I am scared, but I will hunt them down, and try and get the antidote," without thinking of the consequences.

He is still determined to take down that organization, but he is now wiser than he was at in, whereas, she is more inclined to err on the side of caution, "Stop. Don't Go. Stay out of this," which will not take the organization down but may keep them safer.

In regards to the Black Organization, they both tend to withhold information to protect the other one.
It is difficult to know just how much she knows of the Organization's leaders and such, but she feels if she tells him anything until it comes up, he may carelessly act on it.

When Conan found out that the '7 Children' song's first lines' tone was the Boss's e-mail address, his initial thought was to have Takagi investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.
The e-mail address is Pandora's box that should never be opened.

In return, Conan protects her a lot in regards to the organization: saving her life, withholding risky information, and coming up with plans to save her life, when she has been found out and trying to hide her from them.

=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] Conan and Haibara cross paths with them at a hotel party while trying to prevent someone from dying at the hands of the organization. While there, Haibara is kidnapped by one of the members of the organization, [[Pisco]]. Conan manages to save Haibara and also learn about [[Anokata]]

=== 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 to Shinichi several times, but never permanently.
==== East versus West Detective ====
First, he temporarily 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|Prototype antidote}}
Haibara invented an [[Prototype antidote|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 herself as Conan and appears in front of Ran with Shinichi 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 a six-year-old they saw. In a phone booth, Conan takes the pill originally meant for his return trip to Tokyo 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 and friends ===
==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Conan.jpg|thumb|200px|Ran holding Conan.]]
{{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 well-being. 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 a 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 subconsciously 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}}

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.]]
[[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 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. Sometimes, Kogoro will also grab Conan by the jacket, leave him outside, or knock him on the head if he is too nosy when involved in a case. However, their relationship is intimate and Kogoro takes care of Conan just like a member of the house. At times when Conan is in danger or his life is in peril, Kogoro is seen to be visibly distressed, focused only on getting Conan back. In one episode where Conan was kidnapped, put into a car, and the car was in the process of being crushed, Kogoro was even in tears at Conan's apparent death but then rejoiced tearfully when he was shown to be unharmed.
Conan in return does everything in his power to protect Kogoro from getting into trouble with the Black Organization, saving his life multiple times whenever Kogoro unknowingly gets involved with them.
They are usually seen going to cases together (probably because Conan sneaks along with Kogoro, inserts himself into the case, or simply annoys Kogoro enough to bring him) and sometimes they'll follow Ran whenever they think she might be off to see a boy or "that detective brat" as Kogoro refers to Shinichi.
{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
[[File:783-2.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko nearly calls Conan "Shinichi" in public.]]
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 to show Conan how dangerous his goals are. However, after seeing that their son is determined to dive into the matter, they decide to follow his wish and even helps him out with disguises and plans.

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 period, 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.

Yukiko helped him out once to keep his secret identity from being exposed to Ran by creating an alibi for him. Yukiko once nearly called Conan "Shinichi" in public but Conan was able to cover it by creating a distraction.
{{clearright}}

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[image:Agasa and Conan investigating.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan investigates with Agasa.]]
Conan treats [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] as a member of his own family, as an uncle. Because 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 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}}

==== "Shinichi Kudo" ====
[[File:EP398 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Shinichi.]]
They never meet each other for obvious reasons: Conan is Shinichi's secret identity. However, since Conan tries to act like a child, he often thinks of Shinichi as a separate character (in one episode, when Ran claims to go on a date with Shinichi, Conan bids goodbye, oblivious for a while that he is Shinichi). Judging from his completely made-up speech, Conan talks to Shinichi frequently by phone and learns a lot of skills and knowledge from him, and Conan admires and loves Shinichi. In turn, Shinichi is willing to satiate Conan's curiosity, but at one point he gets annoyed for Conan's inquisitiveness.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo beats 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. Despite his teasing, Conan/Shinichi genuinely thinks Kazuha and Heiji would make a great couple.
{{clearright}}

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
She frequently talks to him like a brat and primary school kid, and he thinks of her as annoying.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Masumi Sera is like an older sister figure to Conan. She knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. She is a mystery but is revealed to be the sister of Shuichi Akai and Shukichi Haneda. Conan takes Sera to be like a fellow detective, similar to how he treats Heiji and Saguru. Sera in return is very protective of him and also seems to have a crush on him, calling him a "wizard"; because when they first met 10 years ago, Shinichi/Conan was able to make her brother Shuichi laugh when she couldn't.

==== Eisuke Hondou ====
Eisuke discovered that Conan is the real Sleeping Kogoro before they even first met. Conan found him suspicious due to his resemblance to Rena Mizunashi. Eisuke was quick to notice that Conan's behavior towards Ran was similar to that of a protective boyfriend and decided to monitor him. Eventually, Conan found that he is the younger brother of Rena who is a member of the CIA infiltrating the organization, the relationship between the two seems to have improved somehow after Conan reveals his identity to Eisuke without hesitating to refuse his offer to take Ran with him in America. At that moment, Eisuke amicably confesses to Conan that he was aware from the beginning that he was sleeping Kogoro and Shinichi Kudo. He asked Conan to take care of Ran and the two leave on good terms.

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
Shukichi seems to have noticed Conan's intelligence and trusted his deductions the first time they met. Shinichi has met Shukichi in the past as a child, so Shukichi might recognize him as Conan because of his memorization skills, and also due to Shukichi calling Conan a Wizard, the same nickname that Masumi attributed to Shinichi when they met 10 years ago.

Both are de-aged by APTX4869 and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes [[Ai Haibara]] and Conan close confidants and more empathetic with each other than most other characters. They share an interesting relationship. They believe and rely on each other. 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.

However, when she introduced herself to him at night in front of the [[Kudo]] and [[Agasa|Agasa's]] house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the [[Black Organization]], even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ...

After the professor's case, he saw her real tears, when she was crying in his shirt, and since then their relationship has improved dramatically, and they even protect each other.

She is also helping him to be more cautious than his initial, "The Black Organization is involved. I am scared, but I will hunt them down, and try and get the antidote," without thinking of the consequences.

He is still determined to take down that organization, but he is now wiser than he was at in, whereas, she is more inclined to err on the side of caution, "Stop. Don't Go. Stay out of this," which will not take the organization down but may keep them safer.

In regards to the Black Organization, they both tend to withhold information to protect the other one.
It is difficult to know just how much she knows of the Organization's leaders and such, but she feels if she tells him anything until it comes up, he may carelessly act on it.

When Conan found out that [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children]] was the [[Boss]]'s e-mail address, his initial thought was to have [[Takagi]] investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.
The e-mail address is Pandora's box that should never be opened.

In return, Conan protects her a lot in regards to the organization: saving her life, withholding risky information, and coming up with plans to save her life, when she has been found out and trying to hide her from them.

==== Ayumi Yoshida ====
[[File:759-3.png|thumb|200px|Sonoko is teasing Conan about Ayumi.]]
{{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 has a very open crush for Conan as seen in instances when she gave him kisses on his cheek. However, she seems to not be aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of Conan because of this. Sonoko once mentioned that she thought Conan likes Ayumi to which shocked Conan and made him internally admit his love for Ran.

==== 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 vast 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.
In a case, where Genta's father was a suspect, Conan decided to solve the case without telling the other, because he didn't want Genta to worry about his father being a suspect for murder.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Police ====
[[File:Megure and Conan Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megure waffles between treating Conan like a child and a detective]]
Except for 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. Even [[Sato]] also treats him more like a detective.

Even when Takagi is hesitant to do what Conan asks of him, as soon as Sato hears Conan's name, she immediately will take action or give him information sometimes.

After [[Hyoue Kuroda]] became the superintendent of the Tokyo Prefecture, he has told Takagi and [[Megure]] to do what Conan asks of them in the [[The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case|Actress Blogger Case]].

He even periodically refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" in front of the other police officers, such as Nagano Police Prefecture Officers, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and Inspector [[Yuminaga]], as well as Bourbon, who he instructed to answer all of Conan's questions when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case of [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]].

==== Wataru Takagi ====
Wataru Takagi is the only police officer who has come the closest to finding out about [[Conan]]'s identity.

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

In [[The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages]], while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime. Takagi asked Conan about his real identity to which Conan answered that he would in the afterlife.

He also is aware of Conan's sharp intelligence and takes him seriously to take him for questioning the suspects. He trusts Conan so much that he would take him seriously.

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

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

==== Miwako Sato ====
[[File:EP424 5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Miwako and Conan during a case Investigation]]

She had developed a deep trust in Conan and his intelligence from her real first time investigating with him, and seeing him in action in the case of [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]].

Even when Takagi is hesitant to do as Conan says, unquestioningly, she will immediately and unhesitantly do as he says, almost all of the time, since she first met him.

==== Kansuke Yamato ====
Kansuke is one of the few police officers, who Conan can talk like an adult in front of.

In [[A Dangerous Party of Two]], he even told [[Yui Uehara|Yui]] Uehara that he suspects Conan of being "the one leading everything," in regards to [[Kogoro|Kogoro's]] cases, and that is after only after they met up in one case so far.

In fact, in that car ride, they were giving [[Agasa]] and [[Haibara]] a lift back to Tokyo, but he kept taking in a Nagano dialect, using phrases that terrified Haibara, such as "Half-Kill" and "Over-Kill, which dealt with a kind of Mochi, and not what Agasa and Haibara were thinking of."

The reason why he and Yui were heading to Tokyo was to enlist Kogoro's help with the Red Wall Case, which Yui told Conan that it was his help they were wanting.

==== Hyoue Kuroda ====
[[Kuroda]] is aware of how good Conan is as a detective, calling him " Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", he also trusts his deductions and has already ordered the Tokyo police to follow Conan's Instructions.

On the other hand, Conan is suspicious of Kuroda because he almost matches [[Rum]]'s description, he also became shocked that Kuroda became the Superintendent of Tokyo Police in [[Matsumoto]]'s place.

In [[Kawanakajima Murder Case]], which was his first appearance, he already knew that Conan was 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro,' and stated an entire dialogue stating his knowledge of Edogawa Conan in front of the Nagano Police Officers present, in his first speech to Conan.

In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent|Mystery of the Burning Tent]], He refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and [[Inspector Yuminaga]].

In [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]], he also instructed Amuro to answer all of Conan's questions, when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case as well.

==== Rei Furuya ====
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] (Aliases as Tooru Amuro) has attached himself to the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] as [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person has shown up" when he learns Rei will be joining Kogoro on cases. However, after he finds out [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Amuro's membership in the Black Organization]], though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. This was made even worse when Rei caught him attempting to tranquilize Kogoro, but due to Rei's attentiveness, he was unable to and had to give hints to Kogoro instead. Although Amuro may not have seen the trick, he became convinced that Conan was the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro, and began investigating Conan, which only made Conan more nervous of him. Their relationship later seemed to improve in [[The Scarlet Return]] when Conan learns that Rei is an undercover operative from the Japanese Secret Police when the two exchange smiles in Café Poirot. Conan even used his Voice Changing Bow Tie in front of Rei in [[The Heartfelt Strap]].

When Shinichi Kudo is exposed on the media due to [[The Scarlet School Trip|Kyoto Field Trip]], he receives an email from [[Rum]], ordering him to gather information about Shinichi. After he helped to solve the [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case|Bunny Girls Case]], Amuro broke into the Kudo home, so that he can find out information about [[Kudo Shinichi]]. He had the altercation with an [[Akai Shuichi|unmasked Akai]], and both of [[Yusaku Kudo|Shinichi's]] [[Yukiko Kudo|parents]] turned on the light, so that the four of them can have a meeting. Currently, it is unknown what was discussed in that meeting, other than Conan planned it.

It seemed to become strained again in the movie: [[Zero the Enforcer]], however that is due to Amuro had his subordinate, [[Yuya Kazami]] of the [[Public Security Bureau|Japanese Secret Police- Public Security Bureau]], plant phony incriminating evidence against Kogoro Mouri for a bombing incident. However, it turns out that the framing was to use Conan as a Collaborator and to rely on his strength so that Conan can do what he was unable to do for his investigation. This way, he was able to use Conan as a Collaborator and to rely on his strength.

=== 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.

==== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ====
[[File:The Scarlet Return-Shuichi and Conan.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Shuichi and Conan ([[The Scarlet Return|Ep. 782]])]]
[[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] has been shown to respect Conan's detective skills. Together they hatched a plan to send Hidemi Hondou back into the organization and fake Akai's death. He has discovered that Conan and Shinichi are the same by spying on him in a [[Volume 77#File 814 - Conan-kun, Right?|recent plot line]]. Conan once says to Shuichi, "I'm glad you're an ally."

==== 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.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin and Vodka ====
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's interfering with their operations, Gin is 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.

In [[Reunion with the Black Organization|Reunion of the Black Organization]], Gin had to shoot himself in the arm to stay awake, after he was shot with Conan's tranquilizer dart.
He also found Conan's bug and transmitter in his car, however, due to a strand of [[Haibara Ai|Haibara]]'s hair, he is convinced it was [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], who planted them.

In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], Gin told Vodka "You have to be always on guard. It seems Someone is investigating about us, a Detective clever as a Fox," without being aware that it happens to be a 7-year-old little child.

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]], he found Conan's bug and transmitter on [[Kir]]'s shoe and immediately planned to exterminate [[Kogoro Mouri]], who he was convinced left the bug. When Conan kicked a soccer ball into the Detective Agency window, Gin decided to add another victim, the little kid. Thankfully, [[Akai]] made him think the bug and transmitter were planted by the FBI, which saved them both.

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] seems to have a great personal interest in Conan, referring to him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet' and her "Cool Guy."

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 can bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

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

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

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

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

She shot herself in the leg and had to hobble some distance away from the car, so that he would remain out of sight, and nowhere around her when Gin came to pick her up.

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

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to Gin, she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," to protect Conan.

=== 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 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 a 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.

[[File:704 20.png|thumb|200px|Kaitou Kid disguised as [[Shiho]] as requested from Conan]]

Conan does not buy into 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.

==== [[Mary Sera]] ====
Conan has been trying to discover the truth about [[Mary]] since the day he first saw her in a picture with Masumi Sera. In "The detective boys in the grove" case, he noticed Ai's uncanny resemblance to Mary. Then, he finds out that the mysterious girl is the mother of Masumi Sera, Shukichi Haneda, and Shuichi Akai, and the wife of Tsutomu Akai, now somehow shrunken. On the other hand, Mary remains skeptical of Conan telling her daughter to be aware of him as he isn't the same boy they met 10 years ago.

==== [[Kanenori Wakita]] ====
In his [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|introductory case]], Conan noticed that he had a medical patch on his left eye, although Wakita claims it is only temporary. He chose not to see the messy left eye, along with Kogoro and Ran.

In the [[Search for Maria-chan!]], while Conan is hiding at Agasa's due to the uproar or his appearance as Kudo Shinichi on a case, during his Kyoto Field Trip, he noticed that Wakita knocked on Agasa's door, and asked about all of the press stationed next door outside of the Kudo gate, while he claimed to be making a delivery to someone in the neighborhood.

(He could have just asked the person that his delivery was for, but no. Let's ask the Kudos' [[Agasa Hiroshi|next door neighbor]]. Plus it is highly unlikely that [[Subaru]], the supposedly DEAD FBI agent, [[Akai]], who is residing in the [[Kudo Shinichi|Kudo]] house, which is the house to the supposedly dead teenage detective, would ever order for Delivery. Take-out, maybe, but not Delivery.)

== 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 chapters 812-814, [[Subaru Okiya]] ([[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise,) confirms that Conan is Shinichi. [[Masumi Sera]] also knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo before they even first met. It is also hinted that [[Mary]] knows about Conan's true identity, telling her daughter Masumi to be wary of him.

In the 13th movie, the Black Organization member [[Irish]] discovers that Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

The 3rd, 8th, 14th, 19th, and 23rd movies also demonstrate that [[Kaitou Kid]] knows Conan's identity and acts to protect it. Though it was once unconfirmed if he knew in the manga, it was recently confirmed in the Fairy Lips case, where Kid thinks that there are "two high school detectives" on the scene, referring to Heiji, and Conan, the only other high school detective there. It is unknown how he came to figure this out.

== People who know that Conan is behind the "Sleeping Kogoro" ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro}}
There is even a varied list of those who know that Conan is the puppeteer behind the "Sleeping Kogoro."

== 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.

== 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 the 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 ==
[[Image: EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]
* 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>
* 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 grade-schoolers. The expression was even [[The Sullied Masked Hero|said by Kogoro]] out of irritation at Conan (right before Conan tranquillized him). Conan's habit of acting juvenile to disguise his real abilities also [[Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun|draws the ire]] of the Detective Boys.
* Conan/Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share the same blood type as mentioned in episode 189.
* In [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Akako's Delivery Service|Akako's Delivery Service]], [[Saguru Hakuba]] acquires a strand of [[Kaitou Kid]]'s hair and runs a genetic scan on it, determining that Kid is a fifteen-to-seventeen-year-old male with a higher-than-average IQ. He then runs this information against a database of Tokyo teenagers and comes up with a list of possible Kaitou Kids, at the top of which was [[Kaito Kuroba]]'s name. However, it's interesting to wonder whether Shinichi, another sixteen-year-old Tokyo resident with a similar build and above-average intelligence, made Saguru's list, but the search included only teenagers with blood type B, and it has never actually been stated what Shinichi's is (although [[Kogoro Mouri]] mentions that Conan's blood type is rare<ref>Episode 189</ref>). Type B is not a common blood type<ref>See population breakdown by country here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group_system#ABO_and_Rh_distribution_by_country</ref>, so it is possible that this is Shinichi's type.
* Conan/Shinchi's favourite drink is iced coffee as shown in episode 814, 919, etc. Shinichi's favourite drink is shown in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]] when Daisuke says that he isn't the only one who drinks iced coffee throughout the year. The lemon pie does not count as Shinichi's favourite during [[The Memories of First Love Case]] because the woman Asami Uchida, whose first love was Shinichi, told this to Ran and her speciality in the past was baking that same lemon pie that she finally perfected so Shinichi will tell her that the pie was delicious. Unless Gosho Aoyama said otherwise, the lemon pie may not be Shinichi's favourite and it was only brought up during that case alone.
* Whenever dealing with a particularly difficult case, Shinichi/Conan juggles a soccer ball to think better. In scenes where he doesn't have one, he often holds his chin with his thumb and forefinger.
* Conan/Shinichi doesn't know that ironically, due to all his secret-keeping from Ran, he's potentially locked himself out of learning about Ran's encounter(s) with the Black Organization, because she has no reason to tell 'Conan' about them. Shinichi/Conan has no idea that Ran has encountered Vermouth and saved Haibara from her, even 500+ chapters after it occurred. The fact that Haibara herself is invested in keeping Ran out of anything to do with the Black Organization only adds to this, as she deliberately lied to Conan/Shinichi about who saved her that night. Ran not knowing Conan's identity also prevents them from confiding in each other or pooling together the information they might have in other areas and thus can extend the time it takes for important realizations to come to light.
* In file 1045, it is revealed that Conan and Yumi have each other's phone numbers.
* In file 900, it is revealed that Conan and Miwako Sato have each other's phone numbers.
* According to Gosho in Super Digest Book 90+ that from time to time, Conan wears a jumper with a "K" written on which stands for "Karl Helmutt", a Japanese clothing brand.
* No matter where Conan goes, he can't go anywhere without stumbling upon a murder or some other crime. Lampshaded after a while by whichever of the police officers happens to be on duty in that area and some of the characters:
:* Megure in particular begins to wonder if Kogoro is the Angel of Death, later on, more accurately shifting his joking suspicions towards Conan himself as seen in Episode 549.
:* During The Final Screening Murder Case (manga chapter 222/anime episode 138) where the Detective Boys are watching movies in a theatre and Ai tells Conan he should relax and enjoy a "child's vacation." When someone is killed at the back of the theatre, Ai remarks, "It seems you never have time for a vacation."
:* In episode 141, Heiji says about Conan, "Every time I see that guy a case occurs," ... about thirty seconds before a scream is heard and a body discovered.
:* In file 1088 Heiji said that the level of his Grim Reaper that gets him involved in cases is not high as Conan’s.
:* And during The Mystery in the Netcase (File 311-313/episodes 246-247) where the Detective Boys and Ran and Sonoko independently wind up at the same beach, Sonoko says of Conan, "The reason we didn't bring him was that there are always cases when he's around!"
:** Later in the same episode, Haibara learns where Conan and the others are after they're late returning to their hotel (having discovered a murder while she was not present) by asking the hotel staff if there is a murder being investigated nearby.
:* At the beginning of the first file of the paper aeroplane case, Conan notices how he seems to be running into cases all the time. This is the first time he's ever noticed, and this is over 600 chapters into the manga.
:* Except that in the very first chapter of the whole manga, he tells Ran that murders "happen all the time", which implies that encountering a lot of murders is normal to him. The rate of cases must have ramped up even further for him to notice that something is odd.
:* In Zero Tea Time File 52 Amuro thought about Conan when he thought that something bad happens wherever you go like the Grim Reaper when Sakurako Yonehara talked about the grim reaper when she said she feels like she cursed because there are cases and police investigations happen at the places she works as a housekeeper.
* In episode 681, it's revealed Conan has Detective Chiba's phone number.
* According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book he likes curry the most, he and his dad like Yukiko's paella the most.
* According to [[Gosho Aoyama]], Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara are in no way related to each other.<ref>[https://conannews.org/fragerunde-mit-gosho-aoyama-day2023/49323/ ''Fragerunde mit Gosho Aoyama: DAY2023.''] ''ConanNews.org'' (in German). 16 February 2023. Retrieved 16 February 2023.</ref>

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

Viz romanized his original name as '''Shin'ichi Kudo'''.

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

He met Ran when he started in kindergarten and spotted strange things that his father figured out were preparations to kidnap Ran. The kidnapping was foiled, and Ran and Shinichi formed a friendship when Shinichi defended her from the bullies.

At some point Both Ran and Shinichi with Ran's parents once visited one of Yoshiro Kinoshita show and took a picture with him.<ref>File 131</ref>

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

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

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

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

Although he mostly uses the Conan alias to solve cases, in some (especially emergency) situations, he uses the Voice-Changing Bowtie to call the police using his original, Shinichi's voice and get involved with cases, which allow him to gain the authority that Conan lacks. In the aftermath; however, Shinichi requests his identity not to be revealed to the public, a clear contrast to his earlier attention-seeking behavior before turning to Conan.

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

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

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

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

Shinichi was ready to confess his feelings during the Roller Coaster Murder Case but due to Ran's teasing, he didn't. After turning into Conan and knowing that Ran loved him, whenever he turned back into Shinichi, he would try to confess his feelings for her but the antidote running out would foil his attempts. He was successfully able to convey his feelings in London.

The reason behind Shinichi's desensitization towards violent and brutal crime scenes is because his father would take him to crime scenes as a child.

Shinichi is also quite fearless not scaring of threatening by guns or surrounding by fire, he also doesn't believe in supernatural like magic or abnormal creatures and believes there is always an explanation for it, he was also fearless as a child.

== Appearance ==
Shinichi is an above-average height Japanese teenager with a light-complexion, pale skin and a thin yet athletic build. He has blue eyes and short dark brown/black hair with a cowlick in front and distinctive tuft in the back. Shinichi bears a striking resemblance to his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]] albeit a less defined jawline and minus his father's mustache. Often, he is well-noted as very handsome as he became very popular with the girls around his age, regularly getting love letters, which has only grown since becoming a famous detective. Shinichi often appears in his high school uniform, but he also wears a suit and tie or regular clothing depending on the occasion. When Conan turns back into Shinichi by using [[baijiu]] or the [[Prototype antidote|prototype antidote]], Shinichi will wear whatever appropriately sized clothing he can find at the time.

== Skills ==
:''See also: [[Conan Edogawa#Skills|Conan's Skills]]''
=== Intelligence ===
Consistently, Shinichi has proven himself to be a very sharp-witted and calculating individual. While only in high school, his passion mysterious have lead him to be a very well-read to showcase advanced knowledge and understanding in a myriad of subjects, which he can methodically use to aid him in investigations. His detective skills often earns him comparisons to [[Sherlock Holmes]]. Shinichi has acquired various nicknames because of his prowess, such as the "[[Wikipedia: Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and the "Detective of the East". He has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to miss or not take into account. He has a keen understanding for criminal psychology, occasionally being able to sense if someone is the true criminal. He can also predict movement and plan of the criminals, and in some cases, he used this skill to "bluff". By deliberately giving wrong deduction, he managed to make the criminal reveal the key evidence of the case, confess, abandon suicide's attempt, or lead them to the wrong ends. He repeatedly demonstrates an eidetic memory and perfect recall, able to recount every aspect from the situation he has placed himself in. Shinichi's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Shinichi has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases. Few people are able to match wits with him, including [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Kaito Kuroba]], while only his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]], has shown able consistently proven himself to far surpass his son, both solving mysterious well-before Shinichi and even regularly tricking his on for "tests".

=== Language ===
Besides his native language, Shinichi is fluent in reading/writing and speaking English, as seen when he solved a case in London without evidence of any language barrier.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref><ref name="f743">[[Volume 71#File 743 - Holmes' Apprentice|Volumes 71-72, Files 743-752: "Holmes' Apprentice"]]</ref> Shinichi also knows German,<ref>[[Genta's Certain Kill Shot]]</ref>, Italian,<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> and French.<ref>[[The Secret of the Moon, the Star, and the Sun]]</ref> Shinichi seems to understand "Girl Writing", due to the fact that he had solved an e-mail cipher of a 2nd year high school girl quickly.<ref>[[Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref>

=== Athletic ability ===
[[File:Shinichi playing soccer 4 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi playing soccer in middle school.]]
Like his intelligence, Shinichi also has an amazing athletic ability. Shinichi is an extremely skilled soccer player, having been professionally scouted while only in middle school, but he chooses to stay at the amateur level. He initially played to hone his reflexes and coordination as he often juggles a ball to clear his mind, but he is also an enthusiastic fan of the sport in its own right.<ref name="e1"/> While naturally right-handed and right-footed, Shinichi trained himself to be ambidextrous, being just as efficient with either hand or foot. Against criminals, his signature technique is launching various objects with superb precision from his kick to knock the foe out. Shinichi's kick is accurate over long distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing, snowboarding, and ice-skating. Likewise, on a skateboard he can easily perform very complicated tricks and dodges with his skateboard at high speed.

Aside from sports, Shinichi exhibits a knack and impeccable accuracy for handling firearms due to his father taking him to shooting ranges from time to time. During the Clocktower Heist, Shinichi is able to shoot and dislodge the support beam of a giant projection screen with a single shot from a moving helicopter. Additionally, in [[The Fourteenth Target]], as Conan, he shot a bullet at Ran's leg with such precision, that while it rendered her unable to walk to force the criminal to let her go, but afterwards her leg healed cleanly with no lingering signs or damage. Between his natural aim and coordination, he can likewise hit his target shooting darts like in [[The Detective Boys Get Out of the Rain]], when he throws them to a giant [[Gomera]] puppet so it can fall on the culprit.

Shinichi is nimble as well as strong. He is capable of considerable acrobatics, jumping great distances and swinging from tree to tree to escape onlookers.<ref>[[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|Shiragami case]]</ref> Shinichi is also well-trained in martial arts, showing remarkable flexibility and precision in his kicks, noted for having an especially good roundhouse kick. With his proficiency, as seen in [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|Shiragami Case]], he disarms the culprit trying to commit suicide. Even against the expert judo practitioner Kogoro, in [[Drama Episode 13]], he avoided Kogoro and take him down as he tries to hurt him. While it is unclear where his skill compares to Ran, he can effortlessly dodge a kicking assault from an angry Ran, something very few have ever managed. How does however openly acknowledge Ran as stronger than him.

=== Music ===
Shinichi cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being [[Wikipedia:tone deaf|tone deaf]]. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Shinichi has [[Wikipedia:perfect pitch|perfect pitch]] and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody.<ref>[[Volume 15#File 144 - Their Voices Are Alike!?|Volume 15, File 144: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref> Also, he can 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. Like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in [[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."

=== Other skills ===
He has remarkable intuition, able to tell when people are spying on him and if they are hiding something. He can defuse a bomb effortlessly without external instruction. Shinichi has repeatedly dispensed first aid to stabbed/shot/cardiac/poisoned/hurt victims before the rescuers arrive. He is also shown able to read lips.<ref>[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]</ref> Having seemingly inherited his mother's acting talent, he can seamlessly change his persona, as seen from his longstanding deception of the carefree child Conan. He is skilled in impersonation, able to mimic other people's voices, once pretending to be Heji, however he can have some difficultly changing his dialect. He has skills in computer programming and hacking, however they are inferior Haibara's, regularly relying on her to help out; he was not able to crack Black Organization's encrypted data. In non-canon movie 2 he was able to pilot a helicopter as he had been training with a simulator since he was a kid. In non-canon movie 5 he was able to drive a car.

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

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

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

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

==== The Murderer is Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 62|646-651]], Anime: [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|521-523]]) ====
Shinichi's next appearance is when, while on a case with Heiji, Conan goes missing and 'Shinichi' seems to appear. This 'Shinichi' is actually someone who had gotten plastic surgery to look like Shinichi and is trying to frame Shinichi for a murder. The real Shinichi hides in the forest until he can clear his name. Shinichi had been temporarily restored by another of Haibara's prototypes, but this time by accident; Agasa mistakenly gave them to Shinichi thinking they were cold medicine.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 646 - Village of Animosity|Volume 62, Files 646-651: "Village of Animosity"]]</ref> After the case is solved, Shinichi transforms back into Conan, but luckily Haibara secretly followed him there and gives him another antidote, saving him from revealing his identity to Kogoro, Ran, and Kazuha. While driving home from the case, the group is stopped by another murder which Shinichi and Heiji investigate together, despite increasing pangs that warn of his imminent reversion to Conan. After the case is resolved, Ran tries to stop Shinichi from leaving, saying she has something to tell him. Shinichi stops her, saying "According to my deductions, what you have to say and what I have to say are the same thing." Ran seizes his hand while he is transforming back into Conan, and though Haibara knocks her out with Conan's wristwatch, she refuses to let go of his hand. Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] have to cut and re-pin Conan's shirt onto him because Ran is still clutching his hand and he refuses to pull out of her grip.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 652 - The Thing She Really Wants to Ask|Volumes 62-63, Files 652-654: "The Thing She Really Wants to Ask"]]</ref>

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

==== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 94|1000-1005]], Anime: [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/The_Scarlet_School_Trip 927-928]) ====
Shinichi returns to his real body to take part in the field trip of his school to Kyoto. Shinichi meets an old friend of his mother and through her gets involved in a serial murder case among her and her famous movie friends. After the case was solved, jealousy led Shinichi to ask Ran how she feels about him, since she never formally replied to his confession in London. Ran responds by kissing him on the cheek. Shinichi wants to go in for a full kiss after that, but before they can do it, the antidote wears off and Shinichi has to leave. He later thanks Ran for her reply via text message, making her happy and forget his rushed exit.

Although Shinichi asked the police to keep his involvement in the case secret again, rumours about high school detectives helping in the case spread quickly through the internet, with one poster mentioning seeing Shinichi in Kyoto, which doesn't go unnoticed by [[Hyoue Kuroda]] and [[Kanenori Wakita]]. The rumours then rapidly evolve into another media frenzy around Shinichi's person.

=== Flashback appearances ===
==== Shinichi's first case (Manga: [[Volume 21|204-207]], Anime: [[The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case|162]]) ====

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

==== OVA 9: [[The Stranger from Ten Years Later]] ====
Conan takes another prototype antidote. However, it proves less effective than the prototype he used during the Desperate Revival arc; Conan became Shinichi, but only for a few hours, and remained in a feverish state, unable to wake up until he had reverted back to Conan.

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

=== Family and friends ===
[[File:Shinichi Ran SPVer. Episode One.png|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi and Ran (Scene from [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode one]].)]]
==== Ran Mouri ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Ran Mouri]] is Shinichi's childhood friend and canonical love interest. They have been friends and playmates since kindergarten<ref name="f569"/><ref>[[Volume 11#File 107 - The Two Mysteries|Volume 11, File 107: "The Two Mysteries"]]</ref>, though Shinichi's tendency to drag Ran along into minor trouble caused some censure from [[Eri Kisaki|her mother]]. Shinichi has liked Ran since they were little. It was revealed when he is in the first year of middle school, and turned down any other potential love interests as a result, but she has never realized this.<ref>[[Volume 18#File 175 - Unlock Your Heart!?|Volume 18, File 175, page 92: "Unlock Your Heart!?"]]</ref> Shinichi was similarly oblivious to Ran's regard until Ran confessed to Conan that despite his faults, which she is well aware of, she has liked Shinichi for some time.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 64: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> He is very protective of her, and has been amazed by her various skills and kindness on more than one occasion. Shinichi has since confessed his feelings to Ran in the non-[[canon]] 4th movie 'Captured In Her Eyes' (which Ran mistook as his attempt to get her memories back), and made attempts to say something during temporary cures in the manga and anime, but cases always seem to interfere until the cure runs out. Shinichi since then has finally canonically confessed to Ran in the case in London.<ref>[[Volume 72#File 752 - A Troublesome and Difficult Case|Volume 72, File 752, page 14: "A Troublesome and Difficult Case"]]</ref> Later, Ran kissed Shinichi in the cheek in Kyoto school trip as her answer for his confession in London. Immediately, Shinichi tries to do a full kiss with Ran, only for the antidote's effects to wear off; turning him back into Conan. Shinichi has many times now admitted that Ran is the most important person to him/ the one he loves the most.

[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|200px|Shinichi Kudo somewhat and somehow confesses his feelings for [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to her under the Big Ben in London, during the Holmes' Revelation Arc.]]
Shinichi's initial disappearance troubled Ran to the point of insomnia and nearly going to the police. Since then, Shinichi sometimes calls Ran over the telephone and imitates his normal voice with the [[voice-changing bowtie]] so that she doesn't worry about him. He convinces her that he is off solving a very difficult case and will return once the investigation concludes.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9, Page 15: "An Unfortunate Misunderstanding"]]</ref> In reality, he is the brain behind her father's rapid rise to fame as a detective.

Shinichi/Conan is not without sexual fantasies regarding Ran, the most obvious evidence being his nosebleeds or blushing when he sees her in a bathing suit<ref>[[Volume 83#File 873 - Red Devil|Volume 83, File 873, Page 4: "Red Devil"]]</ref>, or when Ran pulled him into an [[wikipedia: onsen|onsen]] with her.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 084 - Kogoro.27s Class Reunion|Volume 9, File 4: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> For her part, Ran often blushes when thinking of Shinichi, especially when Sonoko teases her about their relationship. Her attitude towards Conan is one of more open, sisterly affection, such as giving him hugs or holding his hand. Shinichi has some concerns of bodily harm should Ran realize that not only has he been lying to her, but they've shared a bed and taken a bath together.<ref>[[Volume 14#File 134 - Question In Dead Leave|Volume 14, File 134, pages 60-67: "Question In Dead Leave"]]</ref>

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

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

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

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

Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better (or even equal), and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" (Osaka) is better than the "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives.
In canon, Heiji is also seen piggybacking Conan, as Conan has shrunken and cannot run as fast as Hattori.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
[[File:EP490 12.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi and Sonoko.]]
Sonoko and Shinichi have known each other since childhood. Sonoko finds Shinichi's obsession with mysteries annoying and considers him to be an arrogant showoff.{{citation needed}} That being said, she acknowledges his knowledge and intelligence. Sonoko enjoys teasing him about his relationship with Ran, calling them husband and wife or boyfriend / girlfriend. Shinichi finds her attempts at attracting boys to be rather irritating. Sonoko is one of the few people who calls Shinichi by his first name with honorofic kun. Shinichi also calls Sonoko by her first name without including any honorific. Sonoko would sometimes send Shinichi photographs of important moments including Ran; for example when Kogoro was acquitted, Sonoko was about to take a photo of the reunion between Ran, Kisaki, and Kogoro to send to Shinichi but was interrupted when the electricity shuts down (Zero The Enforcer) and during 'The Scarlet School Trip' when Ran was talking with Okita Soshi away from the group. Although Sonoko would sometimes tease Ran and tell him to forget about Shinichi, she supports the relationship between the two.

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

==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}
Both are de-aged by APTX4869 and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes [[Ai Haibara]] and Conan close confidants and more empathetic with each other than most other characters. They share an interesting relationship. They believe and rely on each other. 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.

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

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

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

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity and none have betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], Conan's parents, [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] also knows, but she has kept it a secret from the rest of the Organization to protect Shinichi because he had [[Vermouth timeline#Golden Apple Case .28Manga: 350-354.2C Anime: 286-288.29|saved her life in New York]]. [[Eisuke Hondou]], the younger brother of C.I.A. agent [[Hidemi Hondou]], also knows and keeps Conan's secret. [[Kaitou Kid]] was first aware of Conan's identity in the movies, showing up as Shinichi in the third movie to protect Conan's identity, making it non-canon. Canonically however, File 1018 implies that Kaito is aware of Conan's secret, as he addresses Conan and Heiji as "the high-school detectives". [[Ran]] gets suspicious on occasion, but so far Conan has managed to trick her into thinking Conan and Shinichi are two different people. Also, [[Subaru Okiya]] has seen Conan use Shinichi's voice with his bowtie voice modifier. Since Subaru Okiya is actually [[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise, this means that Akai knows about it as well.

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

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

== Trivia ==
* Shinichi has been mentioned and parodied in many other anime series. See [[Detective Conan#Appearances in other media|this wiki page]] for more information.
* He was used as a character to promote people to follow the law in Japan, due to the popularity of the series.
* Shinichi seems to have plane narcolepsy, as mentioned in [[The Sealed Chamber in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case|episode 162]] and [[Volume 21|file 204]]. This shows up when he is Conan as well..
* When he was really a child, Shinichi would always try to act more mature than his actual age.
* He encountered [[Ryusuke Higo]] and [[Rikuo Endo]] during a soccer match for his middle school team and became impressed enough with his abilities to invite him to join them.<ref name="DC Mang34">Manga: [[Volume 34#Soccer Supporter Case|Case 334-346]], Anime: [[Hooligan's Labyrinth|episode 279-280]]</ref>
* Shinichi not liking raisins originated from the Detective Conan Special series. It then joined the anime canon in episode 854.
* It reveal Shinichi give Ran an extra key to his house before his parents went to LA according to the LOVE PLUS Super Digest Book.
* While in preschool Shinichi was in Sakura Class in year 2.
* Shinchi/Conan mention he went to Hawaii in the non-canon Movie 2 and Movie 5.
* In File 743 Conan/Shinichi mentions that Yusaku taken him to a lots of places overseas.
* Shinichi/Conan is an Edokko<ref>[[Volume 35#File 361 - Death Island|Volume 35, File 361: "Death Island"]]</ref>.
* Shinichi/Conan and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share the same blood type<ref>[[Volume 25#File 253 - One Conviction|Volume 25, File 253: "One Conviction"]]</ref>.
* In [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Akako's Delivery Service|Akako's Delivery Service]], [[Saguru Hakuba]] acquires a strand of [[Kaitou Kid]]'s hair and runs a genetic scan on it, determining that Kid is a fifteen-to-seventeen-year-old male with a higher-than-average IQ. He then runs this information against a database of Tokyo teenagers and comes up with a list of possible Kaitou Kids, at the top of which was [[Kaito Kuroba]]'s name. However, it's interesting to wonder whether Shinichi, another sixteen-year-old Tokyo resident with a similar build and above-average intelligence, made Saguru's list, but the search included only teenagers with blood type B, and it has never actually been stated what Shinichi's is (although [[Kogoro Mouri]] mentions that Conan's blood type is rare<ref>Episode 189</ref>). Type B is not a common blood type<ref>See population breakdown by country here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group_system#ABO_and_Rh_distribution_by_country</ref>, so it is possible that this is Shinichi's type.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Ayumi watches a vampire movie on TV. The movie has just reached an exciting part, a vampire meets a woman dressed in white, when Ayumi's mother comes in and tells her to go to bed. Ayumi asks if she can continue watching for a bit but her mother reminds her that she has to go to school and that her class is going swimming the following day.

Ayumi goes to bed and sees a strange shadow on her balcony. It turns out to be the master thief Kaito Kid. Ayumi, still impressed by the movie, wants to know if Kid is Dracula but Kid tells her he isn't, he just needed a little rest and that Ayumi shouldn't tell anyone she's seen him. Kid gently presses a kiss to the back of Ayumi's hand. Suddenly, a police helicopter comes flying in and they hear Inspector Ginzo Nakamori shouting that he's spotted Kid and that they have to catch him now. Kid quickly says goodbye to Ayumi and jumps, opening his hang glider and flying away from the police.

At school, Ayumi excitedly tells her friends that she met "handsome" Kaito Kid. Conan thinks that he is going to catch the master thief one day.

On August 19, the police hold a meeting about Kaito Kid at Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters. They start by giving an overview of Kid's criminal career: The thief with the case number 1412, better known as Kaito Kid, has committed 134 heists 15 in 12 other countries other than Japan, including America, France and Germany, stealing jewels worth a total of 38,725,000,000 yen. Kid recently announced his new heist in his usual cryptic fashion: "Between the dusk of the Lion and the dawn of the Virgin, when the second hand on the clock indicates the twelfth symbol, I will take the Memories Egg from Shining Sky chamber. The last wizard of the century, Kaito Kid."

The Memories Egg is a priceless egg made by famous jeweler Fabergé and belonged to the Russian Imperial family, the Romanovs. It was recently discovered in a collection of antiquities belonging to the Suzuki corporation.

}}
The Memories Egg was originally a gift from the Russian czar to his wife on Easter Sunday. It belonged to a collection of rare eggs made by famous jeweler Fabergé between 1885 and 1916. So far, fifty of these eggs have been found worldwide, meaning the Memories Egg will be the fifty-first piece. The Suzuki corporation which currently owns the egg plans to display it in the Modern Arts museum in Osaka beginning on August 23rd.

Inspector Nakamori explains the current state of the investigation. Police believe that "between the dusk of the Lion and the dawn of the Virgin" indicates the day Kaito Kid plans to commit his heist. The astrological sign Leo ends on August 23 and the astrological sign Virgo begins on August 23, meaning Kaito Kid wants to steal the egg between dusk on August 22 and dawn on August 23. As for the next part, "when the second hand on the clock indicates the twelfth symbol", police think this must be a reference to the time Kaito Kid wants to break into the museum, but they don't have a definitive answer yet. Following Director Suzuki's wishes, the police asked Kogoro Mori to help protect the egg. They also believe Kaito Kid will show up at Osaka Castle. Nakamori implores his officers to work together with their colleagues in Osaka and to protect the egg at all costs, telling them it doesn't matter if Kid escapes this time ... but then he changes direction and holds a fiery speech, telling everyone their reputation is on the line if they don't catch Kid as well and that they have to finally put him behind bars. He is met with loud cheers.

Kogoro, Ran and Conan get off the train in Osaka and Sonoko picks them up, announcing that she's giving them a ride in the family limousine. She introduces everyone to their driver, her father's secretary Masato Nishino who speaks English, French and German fluently and has already visited lots of overseas countries.

Meanwhile, the Detective Boys visit Professor Agasa and tell him it's unfair that Conan gets to go to Osaka by himself. Agasa cheers them up by bringing them slices of watermelon. When they want to eat, Agasa stops them, saying they are only allowed to eat if they solve his newest riddle: "I (meaning Agasa) have many grandchildren, how old are they?" Ai answers: "zero" which is correct and Agasa asks her to explain her reasoning. The solution is one of Agasa's beloved puns: "washi" (a way for elderly people to say "I") can also be read as "eagle" and "many ooku no mago" (grandchildren) can also mean many "egg's children" (tamago) - and an egg is zero years old.
The Detective Boys are impressed with Ai, as is Agasa, and they all happily eat watermelon.

The limousine arrives at the Suzuki Modern Arts Museum which is guarded by many police officers. Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Conan get out of the car and run into Heiji and Kazuha.

Sonoko takes her guests to see her father Shiro who is delighted to see Kogoro. Sonoko introduces Heiji and Kazuha to her father as well and Chairman Suzuki presents his guests: Sergei Ovchinnikov, a high-level representative of the Russian Embassy, Shoichi Inui, an arts dealer, Seiran Hoshi, a Chinese historian specialising in the Romanov Dynasty and freelance reporter Ryu Sagawa, who is currently investigating the Memories Egg and its origins. Kogoro wants to know more about the egg. Inui explains it is valued at 600 million yen and he would be able to afford it if Chairman Suzuki wants to sell the egg. Ovchinnikov angrily interjects, saying the egg belongs to Russia and needs to be sold to the Russian National Museum instead of just "some" arts collector, which offends Inui.

Inui and Ovchinnikov leave, telling the chairman they'll discuss this later. Nishino brings the egg into the room and Chairman Suzuki orders him to get everyone something to drink while he opens the egg. The egg contains several figures, Tsar Nicholas II and his family crowded together around a book, all made of gold. There is a lock for a key in the front of the egg and when a key is inserted there, the pages of the golden book on the Tsar's knees begin to turn. On a photo of the egg that is in the box as well, it says "ВОСПОМИНАНИE" which is a literal translation of the English "Memories Egg" and it also says "memories (RU: Воспоминания)" on the book inside the egg. Conan asks why the book is also called memories and Kogoro says it is obviously meant to show the Tsar and his children looking at a photo album and reminiscing together and that in itself is a memory. The Tsarina is missing from the egg which is odd to Conan as the egg was supposed to be a gift to her, so he wonders if she wouldn't have felt left out. Chairman Suzuki says that the egg was created in a time of great financial hardship for Russia.

Heiji brings everyone's attention back to Kid's message and asks the group what the "Shining Sky Chamber" could refer to. Kazuha replies that there is a saying that the fundaments of Osaka Castle are especially beautiful so maybe Kid meant "Osaka Castle is a shining light for the city". Superintendent Chaki and Inspector Nakamori join them and report that they are certain Kid will appear at Osaka Castle but they still haven't figured out when. Kogoro has a sudden "epiphany" and declares that "the twelfth symbol" refers to the 12th letter of the Latin alphabet, which is the letter L. At 3 AM, the hands on a clock form the letter L so that must mean Kid will appear at 3 AM.

Ran, Conan, Heiji and Kazuha visit Naniwa Buddha Shrine and get their fortunes read. Ran is excited about her "good" fortune and the message that tells her "if you wait, you will meet your love once again". Conan and Heiji leave the girls to it and discuss the riddle again, they are not certain that 3 AM really is the right answer. On the way back, Conan has a look at his message from the shrine and is confused - it says "when a tsunami destroys your home, nobody will be hurt", but also, and that alarms him: "a secret will be revealed".

Chairman Suzuki and Kogoro plan to eat at a restaurant since it is a while until Kid is supposed to show up. Inspector Nakamori wants to collect the egg and Kogoro asks if he's going to carry it to the exhibit. Nakamori reveals that the egg is fake, the original plan was to take the original egg to the place Kid mentions in his notice and set a trap for him, but Kid is too smart for that, so the police will hide the egg somewhere Kid doesn't know. Nakamori can't tell Kogoro where the original egg is, only he himself and his subordinates know. He already did a "face check" on his subordinates to see if Kid hasn't snuck in, wearing an elaborate disguise. Kogoro suddenly grabs Nakamori, pulling at his cheeks to check if he wasn't actually Kid in disguise, explaining that someone has to check Nakamori as well. Nakamori angrily does the same to Kogoro and while they "wrestle", a white pigeon wearing a record device can be seen on the windowsill.

<spoiler>
Conan and Heiji go back to the museum once it is dark and watch Natsumi Kosaka, the owner of a sweetshop and her family's assistant Kuranosuke Sawabe argue with Nishino. Natsumi asks for an urgent meeting with Chairman Suzuki because she saw the picture of the Imperial Easter egg on the leaflets announcing the exhibition and realised that this egg looked different from the sketch her great-grandfather made.

Heiji looks at his watch and says "that's interesting. 3 AM looks like a "L" and now we'll almost have a "he"." It is currently 7:13 in the evening and at 7:20, the hands on the clock form a "he".

Conan looks at Heiji in shock. He has just figured out the second part of Kid's message - "he" is the twelfth character of the phrase. Kid didn't mean 3 AM, but 7:20 PM.
Conan and Heiji want to rush to Osaka Castle when it suddenly starts to rain and Heiji realises that "Shining Sky chamber" was meant to refer to the [[wikipedia:Tsūtenkaku|Tsuuten Tower]] because there is a weather station on top of Tsuuten Tower that "shines".

Kid gets himself ready on top of Tsuuten Tower and the dove with the recording device returns to him. He gets a remote out of his pocket and sets off fireworks at [[wikipedia:Osaka Castle|Osaka Castle]].</spoiler>

Chairman Suzuki and Kogoro have a good time at Restaurant Kakahei and watch the "unexpected" fireworks.

Conan says the fireworks were an attempt to divert attention away from Tsuuten Tower and asks Nishino if he knows where the egg is. Nishino replies that Nakamori took it to a different secret location. There is another sudden explosion at Haginochaya electric substation which causes a blackout in the entire city. Kid planted bombs at the station to watch where emergency power is turned back on after the blackout, helping him figure out where the egg actually is. He watches from the top of Tsuuten Tower and realises the egg is in an abandoned warehouse.

Kid flies to the warehouse on his hang glider, chased by Conan on his skateboard but Conan gets stuck in a dead end. Heiji picks him up on the motorcycle and they reach Kid's location. Conan enters the warehouse alone and goes upstairs, finding Kid who has already taken the egg and has knocked Nakamori and his officers out. Kid activates his car gun, filling the room with smoke and uses the confusion to fly away. Conan escapes the warehouse and Heiji and Conan chase after Kid on his motorcycle. Heiji injures himself and tells Conan to go run after kid, when suddenly, a shot is fired, aimed at Kid's right eye, who crashes and falls into the sea.

Conan retrieves the egg and Kid's injured pigeon. A wide-range search for Kid's body gets underway, but the police can't find any traces of the master thief and nobody knows if he is still alive.

The following day, the exhibition is cancelled to keep the egg safe. Everyone returns home on a luxury liner belonging to the Suzuki Corporation.

On board, Natsumi explains herself to Chairman Suzuki. Her great-grandfather's name was Kiichi, he was a craftsman working for Fabergé in Russia. He fell in love and married a Russian woman and they returned to Japan together. Her great-grandmother had a daughter and died soon after giving birth. Nine years later, her great-grandfather also died, aged just 45 years. Natsumi was raised by her grandmother, Kiichi's daughter, after her grandfather and her parents died in a car accident when Natsumi was five. A month ago her grandmother passed away as well.

Natsumi worked as a beautician in Paris but returned to Japan after her grandmother's death. She found an old sketch by her great-grandfather when she looked through her grandmother's possession, which she now presents to the group. The sketch shows the Memories egg, but it looks like a middle part is missing from the egg. Conan examines the picture and asks if it's possible there were originally two eggs because the outlines would align if you added a middle part. Conan asks himself what "Memories" actually refers to and looks at the egg once again when he notices a small glass piece on the bottom of the egg. When he tries to touch it, it falls out.

Conan picks it up and sees that something has been printed on the glass. He asks Nishino to turn the lights off and shines his wristwatch at the glass, making a picture of a castle reflect on the nearest wall. The glass is a mirror on which images were printed. Legend has it that Christians used these secret mirrors to project crosses onto the nearest wall to worship in secret.

Natsumi recognises the castle as Yokosuka Castle, built by her great-grandfather and inherited by her grandmother. Kogoro says that Natsumi's great-grandfather must have taken the eggs with him when he fled Russia during the Russian Revolutions. He must have sold the gems from the second egg to build Yokusuka Castle and the egg must have been hid inside. He then left the message in the first egg's mirror for his descendants. Natsumi shows Kogoro the key she found among her grandmother's possessions and asks if the key is important. Kogoro excitedly replies it has to be and that they will all look for the second egg in Yokosuka Castle once they are back in Tokyo.

Ran and Conan care for Kid's pigeon and bandage its injured wings. There is a knock at the door and they open it, revealing Sagawa who records them on his camera and leaves. Sonoko, Natsumi and Nishino join them. The pigeon flaps his wings and Nishino flees in panic, covering his nose.

Sonoko and Conan ask Seiran to join them in Ran's room. Seiran thanks them for the invitation and gets ready when Sonoko and Conan spot a photo frame on her desk that says "Grigori" on the back. Sonoko asks Seiran if that is a photo of her boyfriend and Seiran quickly says yes, putting the photo down on the desk.

Natsumi tells Ran that she has been living in Paris since she was twenty. They notice Natsumi has grey eyes, the same colour as her mother and grandmother and - incidentally - Seiran.

Ran and Seiran chat about the differences between Japanese and Chinese. Ran says her name is "orchid" and Seiran would be "blue orchid" in Japanese.
Seiran explains that her actual name is Chinglan ("sei" being "ching" in Chinese and "ran" being" lan), she just goes by the Japanese transcription when she is in Japan.
Her last name Hoshi is actually "Pusu" in Chinese. Ran and Sonoko ask her about their Chinese names - Ran would be Lan Maoli and Sonoko Yuanzu Lingmu.

Natsumi wonders whether Seiran is her age and they find out they were born in the same year, two days apart - Seiran's birthday is May 5, Natsumi's is May 3.
Conan tells them he was born in the middle of them on May 4, which briefly makes Ran suspicious that he could be Shinichi because May 4 is Shinichi's birthday as well but she quickly dismisses that as nonsense.

Natsumi and Seiran join Kogoro and Chairman Suzuki for a drink. Sagawa watches them and Seiran asks Sagawa about the pendant he wears - a ring labeled "Maria".
Sagawa explains that this ring used to belong to Maria, a daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and goes back into the ship.

Sagawa is murdered that evening at 7:30 PM, shot in the right eye by the unknown culprit.

Nishino discovers the body and runs to tell Kogoro. Kogoro, Ran and Conan accompany a panicked Nishino to Sagawa's bedroom and find his dead body.

Kogoro examines the body and says that the murder must have been committed 30 minutes ago. The pendant is missing as well. Kogoro tells Chairman Suzuki to call the police.

Inspector Megure is at police headquarters in Tokyo when he receives the call and the officers decide to take a helicopter to the luxury liner. Shiratori and Takagi join Megure.

Kogoro welcomes his former colleagues and they examine the crime scene together. Kogoro explains about the ring that was taken from Sagawa and says that he thinks this was the motive for the murder. One of their constables finds a pen near the body which looks like the pen that Nishino carries with him so they decide to ask him about it. Nishino is surprised, confirming that this is indeed his pen but says he has no idea how it ended up in Sagawa's room. Kogoro questions him about his alibi. Nishino was preparing dinner for everyone and had just got everything ready, so he planned on telling Sagawa, went to his room and found him dead. He claims he took a shower at 7:10 PM and had a short nap, saying that he must have slept at the time the murder was committed. Takagi comes back from the crime scene and reports that Sagawa's video tapes have gone missing which would explain the chaos in the room. Upon hearing that, Conan suddenly runs off and Ran chases after him. Shiratori stops her, telling her to stay with the others and he will find Conan for her.

Conan calls Professor Agasa and asks for his help. He wants Agasa to search online for murders that were committed by shooting the victims in their right eye. Agasa tells Conan he'll get to work immediately. When they speak again a while later, Agasa says that he had a look at the ICPO crime database and someone, whose age, gender and origins are currently unknown, is indeed wanted for committing murders in that fashion. The ICPO have given the name "Scorpion" to the unknown serial killer.

Takagi finds the missing ring under Nishino's bed which makes Nishino the main suspect. Nishino defends himself. Conan has a closer look at the bed and notices a padded pillow on the mattress, asking Nishino if he is allergic to feathers. Nishino says yes and Conan tells everyone that that confirms Nishino couldn't have been the murderer. They found feathers all over the crime scene in Sagawa's room, the murderer searched the entire room and tore the feather pillows open, which is something someone with feather allergies could not have done. Chairman Suzuki confirms Nishino's story, saying Nishino is so severely allergic to feathers that he gets sneezing fits whenever he is near a bird, that's why he uses a different pillow. Sonoko says she now understands why Nishino ran out of Ran's room when he saw the pigeon.

Megure wonders who the murderer might be. Conan tells everyone about "Scorpion" who specialises in stealing treasures belonging to the Romanov dynasty and shoots his victims through the right eye which makes him a prime suspect for Sagawa's murder and also for the attack on Kaito Kid. Kogoro wants to know how Conan knows such things. Conan has no idea how to answer and panics when suddenly, Shiratori comes to his help, replying that he heard Conan talk to Professor Agasa. Megure says he doesn't understand why the ring was placed in Nishino's room when it was Scorpion who killed Sagawa.
Nishino remembers that he met Sagawa three years ago in another country. Sagawa was filming a crying girl whose house had just burned down. Nishino told him to stop, but Sagawa didn't listen, so Nishino punched him.

Kogoro says it all makes sense to him now. They are actually investigating two different cases - first, Sagawa wanted to frame Nishino for stealing his ring. Sagawa made sure everyone on board saw the ring, then, while Nishino took a shower, Sagawa snuck into his room, placed the ring under his bed and took his pen to stack evidence against Nishino. While he was back in his room, Scorpion shot Sagawa. Scorpion feared their true identity was revealed on Sagawa's videos, shot him and tore the entire room apart, looking for the tapes and the ring. Shiratori says he saw a lifeboat missing which means Scorpion must have already escaped.

Everyone agrees that Scorpion is now after the second egg and will show up at Yokosuka Castle. Shiratori decides to accompany Natsumi to the castle as well.

The following morning, August 24, the luxury liner arrives in Tokyo.

The Detective Boys are going to meet Professor Agasa and are just about to arrive at his house when they hear Ai telling Agasa "let's go to the castle". Genta decides Agasa isn't going without them so they hide in the back row of the car and pop up as Agasa drives away, surprising him.

Shiratori and the others take two separate cars to the castle. Sergei, sitting next to Kogoro, asks if the police can confirm that Sagawa's ring really belonged to Maria Romanova. Kogoro replies that the ring is currently being examined and they can't say for certain. Sergei says it would be a miracle and tells everyone that Maria is said to have been the kindest of the Tsar's four daughter and had beautiful grey eyes. It is recorded that the entire Romanov family was executed after the Russian revolution but they still haven't found Maria's or her brother's corpses.

The cars stop in front of Yokosuka Castle. Everyone immediately notices that it resembles the well-known Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. Natsumi says the castle has been called "perfect for Cinderella."
Conan wonders why the castle looks German when Natsumi's grandparents were from Russia.

Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys turn up and Agasa hands Conan a new pair of glasses, telling him they have "a special upgrade." Inui arrives later than the others, explaining that he had an errand. He now carries a bag.
Everyone enters the castle and Kogoro asks Sawabe to lock the doors so the children can't get in and into danger. The Detective Boys, undeterred, decide to find another entrance to "hunt the treasure".

Natsumi shows everyone around. They visit an armor gallery full of medieval Western European designs and the "lady's lounge" where Natsumi's grandmother preferred to spend her days, as well as the "Tsar's Gallery".
Inui sneaks back into the lounge, believing there is a secret door or vault in the room. He searches the lounge and finds a vault hidden behind a large picture, grabs a lockpick from his bag and opens the vault. When he tries to grab the jewellery hidden in the vault, his hand is caught by a metal cuff. A trapdoor in the ceiling opens and swords fall from the ceiling, hanging on chains. Inui yells out in shock and the others find him. Sawabe lets him out using a key on his set of keys and explains that Kiichi created this trap to protect the family treasure from thieves. There are many of these traps all around the castle.

Sawabe leads the group into the old study and they notice photos of Kiichi, his family and Kiichi following his hobbies on the walls. Conan can't find a photo of Kiichi's mother so he asks Natsumi if it was taken down. Natsumi replies she has never seen a photo of her grandmother and has no idea what she looked like. Inui points out a photo of Rasputin which even has his signature, G. Rasputin ('''RU:''' Г. Распутин), at the bottom. Ran has no idea who Rasputin was and Kogoro tells her he was called "the most evil man of the century". Inui explains that Rasputin was also known as "the Mad Monk" and is said to have been responsible for the downfall of the Tsar and the ruin of the Romanovs. The Tsar's brother Duke Yusupov killed Rasputin to avenge his brother's family and Rasputin's body was found in a river. One of his eyes was missing.

Kogoro lights a cigarette and Conan notices the smoke moving unusually so he asks Kogoro to give him the cigarette, holds it up and says there must be an air current coming from the floor. They peel back a carpet and find a keyboard with buttons with the [[Wikipedia:Russian alphabet|Russian alphabet]] (''The modern Russian alphabet consists of 33 letters: twenty consonants (⟨б⟩, ⟨в⟩, ⟨г⟩, ⟨д⟩, ⟨ж⟩, ⟨з⟩, ⟨к⟩, ⟨л⟩, ⟨м⟩, ⟨н⟩, ⟨п⟩, ⟨р⟩, ⟨с⟩, ⟨т⟩, ⟨ф⟩, ⟨х⟩, ⟨ц⟩, ⟨ч⟩, ⟨ш⟩, ⟨щ⟩), ten vowels (⟨а⟩, ⟨е⟩, ⟨ё⟩, ⟨и⟩, ⟨о⟩, ⟨у⟩, ⟨ы⟩, ⟨э⟩, ⟨ю⟩, ⟨я⟩), a semivowel / consonant (⟨й⟩), and two modifier letters or "signs" (⟨ь⟩, ⟨ъ⟩) that alter pronunciation of a preceding consonant or a following vowel.'') on the floor. First types the password "Memories" in Russian Воспоминания (vospominaniya) then types the password "Kiichi Kosaka" in Russian Киити Косака (Kiiti Kosaka) but password is incorrect Sergei says he has an idea about the password and types "The Last Wizard of the Century" in Russian Последний волшебник века (Posledniy volshebnik veka), at which point the door opens and they see a staircase leading into the basement.

Natsumi goes downstairs with her visitors and explains that "the last wizard of the century" was her great-grandfather's nickname.

In the meantime the Detective Boys found a different entrance to the castle, but they all fall through a trapdoor into the basement. Instead of waiting for Professor Agasa to come and help, they decide to follow one of the tunnels to find the "treasure". Conan hears them making a sound in a nearby tunnel and, accompanied by Inspector Shiratori, goes to find the source of the noise.

Inui notices a shadowy figure in another tunnel, chases after it and he is shot in his right eye by the unknown killer.

Conan and Shiratori find the Detective Boys and after Conan told them off, they continue their search together with the rest of the group. They eventually end up in front of a massive wall with ornate engravings and paintings. Conan immediately figures the mechanism out and tells Inspector Shiratori to shine his flashlight at a two-headed vulture on one of the paintings which wears a single crown encrusted with jewels. The beam of light activates a photo-switch in the crown and a set of hidden stairs appears which lead further underground.

The investigation party finds itself in a chamber designed like a crypt with a small shrine surrounded by water. In the middle of the chamber there is a massive coffin with a lock made out of copper. Natsumi realises that the key she found among her great-grandfather's possessions could fit into the lock and it does. When she opens it, they find a skeleton in the coffin which holds the second Memories egg on its chest. The corpse is female and Natsumi says it must be her great-grandmother who could not get a funeral in an ordinary cemetery because she was Russian. They carefully retrieve the egg and notice it is empty. Ayumi asks if the egg couldn't be a [[Wikipedia:Matryoshka doll|Matryoshka Doll]], maybe it needs to be put into something else or something else needs to be put into the egg. Shiratori reveals that he had the first egg with him all along, having borrowed it from Sonoko's father. They insert the first egg into the larger second egg, but nothing happens. Conan notices another round piece of glass on the bottom and wonders if the many round glass pieces on the inside and outside of both eggs are a lens. He asks everyone to extinguish the candles in the chamber. Shiratori's flashlight is placed into a candle holder shaped like a goblet and they put the eggs on top of the flashlight.

The light triggers a switch and the mechanisms inside both eggs. Multiple beams of light are projected out from the eggs onto the walls, revealing pictures of Nicholas II's family and friends. They now realise that the golden figurines inside the first egg are looking through a photo album and that's why the eggs are called "Memories eggs". They notice Kiichi among the pictures, together with a woman with grey eyes which has to be Natsumi'S great-grandmother. The lights begin to fade and Ai wonders why Rasputin was missing from the pictures when he was such a close friend of the Tsar's. Conan also wonders where Inui went.

Just before it gets dark, Conan sees a laser point tracking Kogoro's body and creeping up to his right eye. There is a shot but Conan saves Kogoro by hitting him with his flashlight.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler> Conan, Shiratori and the culprit reach the last staircase and Conan nearly falls over Inui's dead body. The culprit throws a hand grenade at the staircase as they run up, wanting to let the cellar cave in. Conan escapes but Shiratori is trapped behind the rubble. The culprit runs out of the staircase and presses the reset button on the keypad, causing the trap door to close. Conan quickly discovers a switch near the top of the staircase that reopens the door from the basement. The culprit has almost made it out of the castle and empties a tank of propane as they run, lighting it with a torch to burn the castle down.

Conan catches up with the culprit in the armory and uses his bowtie to address Scorpion with her true name - '''Seiran Hoshi'''. She pretends to be Chinese but is actually Russian, her Chinese name (Chinglan Pusu; 星晴岚; ''pinyin'' Xīng qíng lán) is a clue to it as it is an anagram of Rasputin (CN:拉斯普京; Lā sī pǔjīng / RU:Распутин). Conan also claims Seiran is a direct descendant of Rasputin, that's why she had a photo of him in her room on the luxury liner. Seiran erupts in fury, shooting at everything she hears while Conan changes between voices, telling her how he found her on the ICPO database and how she gave herself away.

}}

At this point, Conan reveals himself and continues to explain his deductions while the room begins to burn. He says Sagawa was killed because he filmed everything with his camera and Seiran thought he had spotted the photo of Rasputin she carried with her. She killed Inui because he saw her preparing her handgun and she attacked Kogoro and Ran because Kogoro insulted Rasputin.
Seiran aims at Conan with her handgun and Conan calmly tells her to go ahead. The bullet bounces off his glasses because he asked Agasa to upgrade them with bulletproof glass to protect himself against Scorpion.
While Seiran reloads the handgun, Conan activates his power-kick-shoes and wants to kick the helmet off one of the suits of armor at her.

Just as she points the gun at Conan again, a playing card comes flying through the room and knocks the gun out of her hands. Shiratori appears in the room, grabs an unconscious Seiran and tells Conan to follow him. Conan is initially hesitant but the castle has begun to collapse, leaving him no choice.

The rest of the party manage to escape via the entrance the Detective Boys discovered, with help from Professor Agasa who returned bringing a rope and other utensils.

The castle collapses and the Detective Boys are inconsolable, fearing Conan died in the fire.

Suddenly Conan appears behind them with the eggs in hand. He hands the eggs to Natsumi and tells everyone that Shiratori has arrested Scorpion, better known as Seiran.
Firefighters arrive at the scene and are quickly able to get the fire under control.

Natsumi decides she wants to remove her great-grandmother's corpse and bury her in the family tomb while everyone else wonders about Kaito Kid.
Conan is certain Kaito Kid is still alive.

Back home, Ran is emotional, confronting Conan why he "looked so much like Shinichi" when he pushed her out of the path of the bullet.

Conan can't bear to see her cry and he almost begins to reveal himself when, suddenly, to his immense relief, "a Shinichi" appears at the agency, drenched from head to toe as it has begun to rain heavily.
Ran runs to get a towel for "Shinichi", who walks out again.

Conan follows "Shinichi" out of the Detective Agency and tells him he is Kaito Kid, as evidenced by the soot still on his shoulders. Conan also says he knows Kid was disguised as Shiratori for most of the investigation, actual Shiratori had been nowhere near Osaka. They discuss Natsumi's great-grandmother - she was actually Maria Romanova, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Kid explains that he wanted to steal the egg to give it back to Maria, its rightful owner. Kiichi Kosaka fell in love with Maria during the Russian Revolution and they fled to Japan together, taking the eggs with them. After Maria's death, Kiichi used her inheritance to build a magnificent castle as her tomb.

Conan asks Kid why he helped them as well and Kid replies "some mysteries had better stay mysteries", just as Ran returns with a towel. Kid disappears in a flurry of pigeons. Conan thinks it is crystal clear why Kid got involved - Ran helped his pigeon and he merely returned the favour.

After the credits, Ran scolds Conan for letting "Shinichi" leave.
Conan replies "Shinichi" was in a hurry and that he will see Ran soon again.

Ran, still fuming, performs a couple karate chops, slicing the towel into pieces, voicing what she is going to do the next time she sees Shinichi. Horrified at the sight and relieved that his secret is kept safe for now, he decides it is better he doesn't return to his normal body any time soon in fear of Ran going through with her threat.

== Translation changes ==

* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Masato Nishino - Maxwell Nishino
:* Shoichi Inui - Giordano Infantino
:* Ryu Sagawa - Ray Segue
:* Natsumi Kousaka - Natasha Kousaka
:* Kuranosuke Sawabe - Kuranosuke Sotheby
* In addition to the caption changes that were also done in the previous movie, several other instances of on-screen text were altered as well, such as the blue words that appear on the big screen when the Osaka Police are analyzing the Kaitou Kid's message.

== Trivia ==
* While on the cruise-liner after bandaging the bird, there is a brief glimpse of the room on the ship Conan is in. He is staying in room 221-A. 221-B Baker Street was Holmes' apartment in London. This is an obvious homage to the Holmes' series which is referenced in the anime quite frequently.
* This marks the first appearance of Ai Haibara, as Vi Graythorn in the English Dub. Oddly, she was never introduced in the english dub due to Funimation cancelling the dub only a few episodes short of her debut. Weirdly, she appeared in the movie, but for English only viewers, people questioned who she was because she was never introduced before.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Daizo Kurokawa, a wealthy heart surgeon, was murdered in his own home, hit over the head with a statue. He left a dying message, grabbing the keys of his computer keyboard: JUN.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = Movie1 Case1.jpg
| location = Kurokawa household, Tokyo forest
| victim = Daizo Kurokawa
| age = 62 years old
| cause-death = Blunt-force trauma
| suspects = Mina Kurokawa, Daisuke Kurokawa, and Manami Nagazawa
| description = While the victim sat at his computer, the culprit snuck up behind and hit him over the head with a statue.
}}

[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], wrongly of course, deduces that the dying message pointed to the victim's second wife Mina, saying that "JUN" means June and since June is also called "minazuki" or dry month and Mina was born in June, he wanted to leave a hint that he was murdered by his own wife. Mina is furious. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] hits Kogoro with his stun-wristwatch and begins explaining the actual facts of the case to the police and the three suspects.

<spoiler>
[[File:Movie1a.jpg|thumb|200px|The culprit hits over Daizo's head.]]
[[File:Movie1b.jpg|thumb|200px|Daizo is making the message "Ma-Na-Mi".]]
The actual murderer was '''Manami Nagazawa''', the housekeeper of the Kurokawa family. The message wasn't supposed to be "JUN" because the computer keyboard was set to romaji instead of hiragana when the dying victim typed out his message. Switched to hiragana, the message reads "Ma-Na-Mi". Conan also makes Manami show everyone a bloodstain on her sock and she confesses. Her motive was revenge for her late husband, who died after a heart surgery performed by Daizo while he was drunk last year. Manami says she tried to find witnesses that Daizo got drunk before the surgery, but his colleagues were too scared to come forward. So, she decided to work for Daizo as a housekeeper and planned her revenge for this day, the first anniversary of her husband's death.</spoiler>

[[File:Movie1c.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan finds an unusual letter in his mail, an invitation to a party addressed to Shinichi.]]
Then, Conan goes to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house, Conan looks through his mail and finds an unusual-looking letter adressed to [[Shinichi Kudo]], inviting Shinichi to a party.
The letter was sent by famous architect Teiji Moriya. Conan decides to call [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and tells her about the invitation, asking her to go to the party in his stead because he is "too busy with his case" and that Kogoro and "that boy who lives with you" can join her as well.

Ran accepts, under the condition that Shinichi joins her for a movie the following Saturday. Conan, horrified, tries to get her to agree to a later date but she insists it has to be on Saturday, May 3. She also asks "Shinichi" if he prefers red or blue. Conan, confused, replies red is his favourite colour and says goodbye to Ran. He has no idea why Ran insists on meeting Shinichi on May 3. On the way home, he meets [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] who introduces him to another constable working in his department, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].

At home, Ran tells Conan and Kogoro that she is going on a date with Shinichi on May 3. She wants to take Shinichi to a late showing at the cinema and, at midnight, surprise him with a red polo shirt because he said red was his favourite colour. Conan suddenly remembers that Shinichi birthday is on May 4. Ran also explains about the tea party invitation and Kogoro isn't exactly enthusiastic about going, so Conan comes up with a trick to convince him.

[[File:Movie1d.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro is pondering Moriya's quiz.]]
On April 29, Kogoro, Ran and Conan attend the tea party at Teiji Moriya's house and explain that Shinichi couldn't make it, but Kogoro came instead, delighting their host at having "another famous detective" as his guest. Moriya greets his guests and gives them a riddle, telling everyone that whoever solves it first gets a private tour of his gallery, with the photos of fourteen works. Conan quickly figures it out and Moriya takes him and Ran upstairs. They chat with the famous architect and Ran says that she is going on a date with Shinichi and they will go watch a film in a building designed by Moriya.

The following day, Ran goes shopping and Conan meets Professor Agasa, asking for his help because he has no idea what to do about his date with Ran. Agasa's TV is on and they watch the news. Someone stole a large quantity of octane from a plant, a gas used to make plastic explosives.

Worried, Agasa switches the TV off and his phone rings suddenly. Someone using a voice changing device asks for Shinichi so Agasa hands his phone over. The unknown caller explains that he is the one who stole the octane and asks for Shinichi's phone number. Conan gives it to him and the man tells him "go to Greenbelt Park or the kids will die."

Conan hurries to Greenbelt Park and sees his friends [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] playing with a remote controlled plane. Mitsuhiko explains to Conan that a strange man with a beard offered the plane to them. Conan has a closer look and notices that there is a bomb attached to the plane, telling Ayumi to let go of it immediately. Ayumi drops the toy and the antenna on top of the plane breaks, causing it to begin flying around uncontrollably. Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] and kicks the controller into the plane, blowing it up.

Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko escape in time. When Conan looks at the flames created by the exploding plane, he realises that the bomb was actually filled with plastic explosives and that this was a serious incident.

As he goes home, his phone rings again and someone says there is going to be another bomb waiting for him.

}}

Conan locates the second bomb and only just about gets it to a deserted place before it blows up. He is knocked back by the blast and hits a tree, falling unconscious.

Conan wakes up in hospital. Agasa says the culprit could have a grudge to settle with Shinichi and Megure agrees. They try to remember Shinichi's most famous cases to see if that provides any hint to the bomber's identity. Megure recalls a past case that was solved by Shinichi.

Shinichi was called by Megure to help investigations.

<spoiler>Shinichi said the evidence didn't prove that Kohei was driving when the accident occurred and that he could be covering for his father, '''Mayor Okamoto'''. The evidence would support this.</spoiler>

There has been another bomb threat, this time somehow related to the train system. The threat carried another cryptic hint, "X the XX".

| description = Five bombs were planted on the train tracks. The police instruct the drivers to keep speeding up the trains or else the bombs will explode.
}}

Conan figures out the hint- the bombs are located "between" the "rail tracks" ("X" the "XX") based on the bomber's other hints to keep the trains going above 60 km/h and that the bombs would explode at sunset. They realise the bombs are using solar power to reset their timers. As sunset approaches, the police help navigate the trains off the tracks and are able to safely recover all five bombs.

Megure and Shiratori, together with Conan and Kogoro, go to question Moriya.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan figures out that the famous architect '''Teiji Moriya''' has been the bomber all along. He was driven to this due to his obsession with symmetry. His plan was to blow up his older, less symmetrical works (Kurokawa, Mizushima, Yasuda, and Akutsu buildings, and Sumida canal bridge) and replace them with symmetrical structures (all of the bomb targets were either at or near buildings he designed). His hatred for Shinichi is due to the fact that, because of him, Mayor Okamoto (who supported his "Perfect Nishitama City") was arrested, and his building plan was stopped. With his crimes exposed, Moriya attempts to detonate the bombs inside his house, but is stopped when Conan reveals that he removed the batteries earlier when he planted some fake evidence (Moriya's disguise outfits) to lure him into spilling the beans. However, Moriya taunts the group that he has "one more" place that he wants to destroy.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Bombing
| image = Movie1f.jpg
| location = Beika City Building
| victim = [[Ran Mouri]] and various people trapped inside the building
| suspects = Teiji Moriya
| suspects-label = Culprit
| description = A large amount of bombs were planted throughout the building to destroy Moriya's "ultimate disgrace", and some of the explosions begin to seal all the entrances, killing and injuring many innocent people. Since the last and most gigantic explosion will occur at 0:03, it's now up to Ran to disarm the bomb by herself.
}}

[[File:Movie1g.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the bomb.]]
Several bombs are revealed to be in the mall where Ran is. They explode and many civilians get trapped in the building. Conan (who enters the building after the first explosion) contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the last and largest bomb. Ran finds the box with the bomb. Conan, who is now separated from Ran by a damaged door, guides her through cutting various wires using plans left by Moriya. Ran is down to two wires, a red one and a blue one. The plans do not include any instructions regarding these two wires. If the wrong one is cut, it would result in the bomb detonating.

Conan loses hope, since this means that there's almost no way to keep the bomb from exploding, and tells Ran to do as she likes, since they are going to die together at this rate. Conan is then found by rescue workers and taken out of the building while realizing then the red wire is booby-trapped. However, Ran can no longer hear Conan's instructions, so he believes her to be in trouble. To his surprise, Ran cuts the "blue wire" and saves everyone. While Kogoro has all credit with the press for the resolution, since Shinichi has of course requested to not reveal his involvement and then he left to believe the culprit's target was Ran's father, Conan asks Ran why she didn't cut the red wire (her lucky color). She replies that she didn't cut because she didn't want to sever the red string of fate between her and Shinichi.

The movie ends with Conan remarking that there is no "red string", and mentions that it's because "it's no use... as long as I'm Conan".</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Daizo Kurokawa - Magnum Cornhouser
:* Mina Kurokawa - Mina Cornhouser
:* Daisuke Kurokawa - Mortimer Cornhouser
:* Manami Nakazawa - Manami Goodsbe
:* Teiji Moriya - Leo Joel
* In the English Dub, the name of Manami's husband is Kevin. He was not named in the original version.
* In the English Dub, neither Kohei Okamoto or Mayor Okamoto are addressed by their name.
* Teiji Moriya is said to be from the UK, specifically England in the Funimation dub, and speaks with a British accent.

== Trivia ==
* According to ''[[Wikipedia: Red thread of fate|The Legend of Red Thread]]'' poster, the movie's original author is Issei Shinnai and it is directed by Shunzo Kano while starring [[Minami Takayama|Sansei Takayama]] and [[Wakana Yamazaki|Wakkanai Yamazaki]].
* In the flashback scene, Kohei Okamoto and his father drive a 1996 silver Toyota Crown Majesta S150. The license plate number is 新宿 33, す 32-59 (Shinjuku 33, Su 32-59).
* The TR Beika Line in real-life is [[Wikipedia: Yamanote Line|JR Yamanote Line]] and the JR Tokyo inspired from [[Wikipedia: 205 series|JR Yamanote Line 205-0 series set 30]].
* The scene with the bombs on the city loop line, which involves the trains needing to go over 60 kmph, is a reference to the action thriller movie ''Speed'', starring Keanu Reeves, in which a bus has a bomb placed on board that will detonate should the speed of the bus drop below 60 mph. Agasa even mentions that a speed detector could be related to the detonator, which is a direct and clear reference to that film.
* First visible proof of Conan having a phone for just Shinichi, which is probably different from Conan's phone, although this is not canon.
* The name of Moriya Teiji is a pun on the name of Sherlock Holmes' antagonist [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]] if written as "Moriarty J."
* Beika City Building is modeled after the [[Wikipedia: Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building|Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building]], the Mizushima Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Nymphenburg Palace|Nymphenburg Palace]], the Yasuda Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Johnston–Felton–Hay House|Johnston-Felton-Hay House]], and the Akutsu Mansion after [[Wikipedia: Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District|Glen Auburn]].
* This movie features voice actors that do not normally perform voice acting. Yomiuri TV announcer [[wikipedia:ja:野村明大|Meidai Nomura]] voices announcer Satoshi Yokoyama, and Shuji Kawatani and Hiroyuki Kohori of comedy duo [[wikipedia:ja:2丁拳銃|2-cho Kenju]] voice train passengers.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
At the beginning, Ran dreams about her mother Eri getting shot. After waking up she immediately calls Eri to ask if she is okay and tells her mother about her dream.

The scene then briefly changes to a scene of a jail, where a man named Jo Murakami holds out a notebook that says, "Beika City, Kogoro Mouri."
[[File:Movie 2-1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi tries Conan's fortune, which is "A chance for an A (kiss)".]]
The scene transitions again to the Detective Boys waiting for Professor Agasa on a bench . While waiting, Ayumi plays with a love oracle, and the machine tells her her and Conan are a perfect match. She then asks the oracle to tell Conan's romantic fortune, which is "A chance for an A (kiss)". Conan wonders just how old that machine is - "A", "B" and so on were very ancient expressions for romantic events. Agasa finally turns up and takes the Detective Boys to the Tohto Aeronautic Memorial Museum.

There are many kinds of helicopters and planes on display at the museum. Agasa wants to ask his traditional riddle to the children, but Mitsuhiko interrupts him and tells everyone he has also got a riddle for them. Mitsuhiko's riddle: Three guys, born on New Year's Day, April Fool's, and Children's Day formed a club. What was their club called? The answer: Tonakai (Reindeer). If you add up their birthdays, they become To-na-kai, a kind of audio-visual pun.
Conan figures out the answer, and they spot the photographer Shishido Eimei taking pictures around the museum.

Back at the Mouri Detective Agency, Jo Murakami is shown knocking on the door. When he gets no answer, he leaves.

Ran and Sonoko attend an autograph session with Minoru Nishina who has written several cookbooks. Ran is a big fan of Nishina's and tells him to keep writing "tasty" books. The girls later go to a café, and Ran tells Sonoko about the fight that caused Kogoro and Eri to separate when she was seven years old. Ran also says they are going to meet up with Eri for dinner at seven o'clock that evening.

Conan comes back home late just as Kogoro is getting ready for their dinner. The TV is on and Katsuyoshi Asashi, the owner of "Aquacrystal", a new entertainment complex, is being interviewed. Ran turns the TV off and tells Conan to hurry up and get changed.

When they meet Eri at the restaurant "La Fleur", she is as sharp as always, correctly guessing that Kogoro would be late because he played mahjong until late the night before. Hiroki Tsuji, a professional golfer and an acquaintance of Kogoro's, also enters the restaurant and Kogoro introduces him to his family. Tsuji explains he is currently training for the US Open.

During dinner, Ran shows a suprising amount of knowledge about wine, explaining to Conan why the sommelier Kohei Sawaki wears a grape badge and what a tastevin is for. Eri and Kogoro realise their daughter has grown up a lot.
Conan enjoys his meal as well. Ran notices he has got some foid in the corner of his mouth, and tries to wipe him off with a napkin. Conan thinks back to the oracle telling him he has "A chance for a kiss" and blushes. Kogoro interrupts them to wipe Conan's mouth off roughly.
Kogoro and Eri get along surprisingly well during dinner. They remember going on a date to the same restaurant ten years earlier and revel in the memory for a bit, when Kogoro suddenly notices Peter Ford, a journalist, near Towako Okano. Kogoro gets jealous, believing Ford is flirting with Okano and Eri angrily gets up and leaves as she has enough of Kogoro's flirting with other women.

A week later, Inspector Megure is shot by an arrow while out for a run.

}}

Kogoro, the Detective Boys, and Ranvisit Megure in the hospital. Shiratori tells them that the arrow was shot from a crossbow, and a western sword was found at the scene.

Eri is at work and her assistant brings her a package with Zigoba chocolates. The brand is Eri's favourite and Kogoro used to give it to her as a present. She therefore believes Kogoro has sent the chocolates, trying to make up with her, eats one, and collapses to the floor. There was poison in the chocolate.

}}

Midori Kuriyama calls for an ambulance and gets Eri to the hospital in time so she survives the poisoning. There is a paper flower on the chocolate box that seems familiar to Conan.

Conan visits Professor Agasa to get his skateboard repaired. Suddenly someone throws a rock through Agasa's front door. Agasa goes to look for the culprit and someone drives by on a motorcycle and shoots at him with a crossbow.
{{InfoBox Crime

| description = Professor Agasa was shot in the back by an arrow similar to Megure's case when he was lured outside the house. Fortunately, the damage is not fatal.
}}

Conan chases after the culprit with his skateboard but loses him at a crossoad. He contacts the Detective Boys with their micro remitter and tells them to keep an eye out for a motorcycle. The children spot the culprit racing past them and quickly tell Conan who gives chase. When the attacker sees Conan, he makes a sudden sharp turn and rides up and down a stairway. Conan tries to follow, but is distracted by an old woman who stumbles on the stairs, and loses sight of the attacker. Back at Agasa's house, Conan finds a mysterious object in the grass, and finally realizes the connection between the sword, the flower, and the strange object, as well as the victims.

[[File:Movie 2-2.jpg|thumb|200px|The sword is held by the King of Spades In addition, Megure's first name, Juzo, can be read as 13.]]
All objects relate to playing cards, with the sword, flower and the odd object being held by the king, queen and jack respectively. Furthermore, Megure's first name Juzo can be read as 13. Eri's last name Kisaki means queen in English and the last character of Agasa's first name Hiroshi, is a combination of the characters for 10 and 1 or 11 in short.

Megure visits Eri, Ran, Kogoro and Conan in hospital to update them on the state of the investigation. The police believe the serial killer might be Jo Murakami, a former card dealer who was just released from prison. Kogoro says he wouldn't be surprised if Murakami was after him, after all it was Kogoro who arrested him ten years earlier. Shiratori wants to tell Ran and Conan all about the case but Megure stops him, saying they now have to focus on preventing the next murder. They believe that Murakami is now after someone among Kogoro's friends or acquaintances whose name contains the word or character for 10. Kogoro is shocked as he realises that he does indeed know "a ten" - Towako Okano, her name contains the word for ten, "to".

The police quickly dispatch two officers to guard Towako's house.

Shiratori is pressured by Ran and Conan and starts to explain the facts of the Murakami case to them. Murakami had just been interrogated at Kogoro's police precinct when Eri arrived at the station with a young Ran, because they wanted to surprise Kogoro and pick him up from work. Murakami was being led to his cell when he saw Eri and tried to escape, taking her hostage in the process.

}}

As part of his police training, Kogoro had been taught never to shoot in a hostage situation, but on that day he did, injuring Eri and causing Murakami to let go of her, leading to his safe arrest and transfer to prison.
This was the case that led Kogoro to quit the police force.
[[File:Movie 2-3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan mentions that although Kogoro did shoot Eri, he questions if that was the whole truth, and hangs up.]]
When Conan calls Ran as Shinichi later, she asks him if he would do the same if Ran was held hostage, even if it meant injuring Ran. Conan says that although Kogoro did shoot Eri, he wonders if that was the whole truth, and hangs up.

At the agency, Conan later remembers another person with "ten" in his name, Hiroki Tsuji. Megure, Kogoro, and Shiratori quickly rush to Tsuji's house along with Ran and Conan. Tsuji was planning to go on a helicopter ride. The police warn him not to leave but he refuses to cancel the trip. He does allow Megure and Kogoro to escort him to Tohto Airport. Conan sneaks onto the helicopter as well.
During the flight, Tsuji suddenly can't keep his eyes open any longer and can't tolerate sunlight.

| description = Somebody replaced Tsuji's eyedrops with a chemical solution that made him unable to keep his eyes open in direct sunlight. Kogoro, Megure and the weakened Tsuji join forces and help Conan to crash-land Tsuji's helicopter at Teitan Elementary.
}}

Conan attempts to land the helicopter at Teitan Elementary. While doing so, he contacts the Detective Boys with their badge, asking them to help evacuate the schoolyard. The helicopter is caught by a downdraft and crashes onto the ground. Tsuji, Kogoro, Megure and Conan just about escape before the helicopter explodes due to gas leaking out.

The investigation reveals that someone replaced Tsuji's eyedrops with mydriatic drops, which caused his pupils to dilate and become light-sensitive. Because the effect of this medicine wear off in ten days to two weeks, Tsuji has to withdraw from the US Open.

The search for the next target, a "number nine", continues. Kogoro says he can't think of anyone but he does know someone with an eight, Kohei Sawaki. Therefore, Megure, Shiratori, Ran, Conan and Kogoro visit Sawaki at home to warn him. He shows them around and presents his large wine collection to them. Conan has a look through Sawaki's apartment and notices a dent in the floor. Sawaki explains he dropped a wine bottle. When asked about his plans for the next couple of days, Sawaki explains that he is supposed to meet Kazuyoshi Asahi in his not-yet-opened complex AquaCrystal to discuss the restaurant Asahi plans to open in the building.

Shiratori suddenly notices that Asahi has a nine in his name.

[[File:Movie 2-4.jpg|thumb|200px|The Aquacrystal]]

Everyone joins Sawaki for his meeting in the AquaCrystal restaurant. To their alarm, '''Nana''' (seven) Osanai, Minoru '''Ni'''shina (two), Eimei '''Shishi'''do and Peter '''Ford''' (his last name sounds like "four") are also waiting to board the monorail to the main building, all claim they have been summoned by Asahi. On the way to the restaurant, they also notice there is a three in Nin'''zabu'''ro Shiratori's name. Ran is anxious when she realises Shin'''ichi''' could also be a target as "ichi" means "one".

Osanai and Nishina get into an argument. Osanai complains that a restaurant that Nishina recommended in his book was actually terrible and that he has no taste at all.
She wants to challenge the critic once they arrive at the restaurant and gets him to taste a wine without looking, making him guess the type of grape. Nishina says it's a Chambertin but is wrong.
As sommelier, Sawaki takes on the challenge as well and correctly detects a Beaujolais Moulin-a-vent.

Everyone decides to get something to drink while they wait for Asahi to join them. Conan gets a box of juice for Ran and is surprised to see Kogoro help himself to a juice as well.
When Conan goes back to the storeroom, he notices Sawaki with chili powder on his hand, apparently trying to taste it.

The guests decide to explore the spacious wine cellar belonging to the restaurant. While they look for a wine, Sawaki narrowly avoids getting shot by an arrow, a trap with Eight of Spades apparently set by Jo Murakami.

The police worry that Asahi might already be dead.

As the guests go back upstairs to the restaurant and prepare to leave, Asahi's dead body suddenly floats past them in the fish tank. Nana yells out in panic.
Asahi has a Nine of Spades on his chest.

Kogoro decides to tell everyone about the ongoing investigation, saying he fears Jo Murakami, who has recently been released from prison, might target all of them.

}}

Conan notices Nana behaving strangely when Kogoro tells them about Murakami and asks her about it.
Dejected, Nana reveals that she caused a serious accident three months ago. She was driving recklessly, as usual, and hit a motorcycle whose driver suffered serious injuries.
Panicking, she fled the scene before the emergency services and the police arrived.

The group heads for the emergency exit, which, to their dismay, has been blocked with cement. They decide to spread out to look for alternative exits and leave Nana with Ran and Conan in the restaurant. Conan wants to sneak off to help look for the emergency exit but Ran catches him. There is a sudden blackout which makes Nana panic. Conan notices a pink light and realizes her nail polish is actually fluorescent paint.

The power comes back on and Nana lies dead on the ground. She has been stabbed. Conan immediately notices something unusual. On her body there are two playing cards- the seven and the Joker of Spades, the culprit must be right-handed according to the handprint on Nana's back and the wine cork Nana had been playing with is missing.

}}

Conan sees the handprint on Nana's back and realises it has been left by someone who is right-handed.
This effectively excludes Jo Murakami who is left-handed.

Conan goes to get everyone something to drink from the storage and hands them glasses with mineral water. While watching them, he realises who actually committed the murders.
Just as he does so, a bomb causes the lights to shut down once again and a second bomb breaks the fish tank, causing the restaurant to flood.

Everyone swims for their lives. Kogoro has to save Nishina who can't swim.

They eventually make it to a helicopter launchpad and Conan, terrified, realises Ran is missing.

}}

Ran's feet got caught in the wheels of a car that was left in the restaurant. Conan swims back and dives to help her out but gets stuck as well.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan explains that the murderer must be right-handed because of the handprint left on Nana's back. This means Murakami can't be the serial killer, he is left-handed.

The actual serial killer is '''Kohei Sawaki'''.

Sawaki suffers from aguesia, a neurological disorder that takes someone's sense of taste away completely. Conan explains he first became suspicious when he saw Sawaki tasting chili powder, something a sommelier who relies on his good sense of taste would never do. To prove his theory, he slipped salt into Sawaki's glass when he brought everyone glasses of mineral water and knew he was right when Sawaki didn't react after he drank. Nana also managed to slip the cork that she drew on in Sawaki's pocket when he stabbed her, Conan throw 5 Cards of Spades (2-6♠️) to Sawaki as well as the Ace of Spades (A♠️) that stands for Shinichi.

Sawaki confesses. He explains Nana was responsible for the accident that caused his incurable condition and that he also wanted to take revenge on Tsuji, Asahi and Nishina. Tsuji requested Sawaki's services for a party and proceeded to make fun of him and belittle him in front of his guests, Asahi had priceless wines in his collection and had no idea how to take care of them and Nishina claimed to be an expert in wines but, according to Sawaki, everything he wrote in his books about wines was entirely wrong.

Sawaki says only those four were his actual targets, he attacked everyone else because he wanted to frame Jo Murakami for the murders. He set a trap for himself in the wine cellar to further remove suspicion. The bombs were planted to kill Nishina by drowning as Sawaki knew Nishina couldn't swim and he hoped to kill everyone else in the flooded restaurant should they not make it back to shore as well. He had the idea to frame Murakami when he accidentally ran into the former convict in front of Kogoro's detective agency. Murakami explained he wanted to apologise to Kogoro for his crimes and especially for taking Eri hostage. Sawaki saw a cheap scapegoat, invited Murakami to his home, got him drunk and strangled him.

[[File:Movie 2-7.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan about to shoot.]]
Shiratori corners Sawaki and points his gun at him. Conan notices his hands are shaking and worries that Shiratori might accidentally hit Ran if he shoots with unsteady hands. Shiratori drops his gun and confers with Megure, preparing to take Sawaki down. Sawaki notices and demands Conan bring the gun to him. As Conan walks up to Sawaki, he finally realises why Kogoro ended up injuring Eri ten years ago. An injured hostage is a burden for the kidnapper and he wanted to make Murakami let go of her. Conan decides to do the same, firing the gun and lightly grazing Ran's shoulder. Sawaki lets go of her and Ran faints from hypothermia and exhaustion. Kogoro takes Sawaki down and helps Conan stop Ran from sliding down the rooftop. Sawaki wants to kill himself but Kogoro stops him, saying he has to face the consequences of his crimes.

A rescue helicopter arrives and takes everyone back to shore. Kogoro suddenly remembers he is scared of heights when they are up in the air.

Ran is sent to hospital to be treated for hypothermia. She keeps holding on to the Ace of Spades, saying "Shinichi protected me".

When she recovers, Conan and Ran go to visit Eri and Ran tells her mother she now knows why she separated from Kogoro.
Eri says that is only half of the story. Kogoro and she went home after her wound was treated and Eri started preparing dinner for her family.
Kogoro, in his "charming" way, wanted to tell her to take it easy and rest, but what he actually said is "I won't be able to eat anything, your cooking is disgusting."
Eri was furious, packed up her things and left her husband that same night.

Ran and Conan share a sheepish grin. They both know Eri is anything but a good cook.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
At the beginning, [[Ginzo Nakamori|Nakamori]] gets ready for a [[Kaitou Kid]] heist by getting four trucks with huge, strong wind funnels on their roofs so that when Kid escapes, he will be blown to the nearby river. Kaitou Kid appears, steals the diamond, and as expected, is blown to the river. A large net tries to catch him but he dodges it and goes upriver in a boat. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] begins chasing him and Kid crashes the boat. He avoids the wreckage with a car and Conan continues to chase him. Conan uses his shoes and kicks a soccer ball at him, throwing the car off balance and sending it into a spin. Conan gets ready to tranquilize Kid and uses the skateboard to sail over the car but someone jumps out of the car into the air and cuts Conan's skateboard in half. Conan figures out that that was [[Goemon Ishikawa|Goemon]] and that the one disguising as Kaitou Kid was [[Lupin III]].

Later, Lupin is talking on the phone with a mysterious man. The man wants Lupin to steal the Cherry Sapphire for him, in exchange for [[Fujiko Mine|Fujiko]]'s safety.

Meanwhile, [[Koichi Zenigata|Zenigata]] of the ICPO informs the Tokyo police force about Lupin's target, the Cherry Sapphire.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The theft of the Cherry Sapphire is in fact a plot devised by Lupin to expose both '''Alan Smithee''' and '''Luciano Carnevale'''. By unknown means, Luciano has come into the possession of a fragment of Vespanian ore, which could be used for ultimate stealth technology to due to its disruptive properties of electromagnetic waves, as discovered in the preview case. Lupin was hired by Count Keith Dan Stinger on behalf of his queen, Mira Vespaland of Vespania, to prevent that ore from reaching the wrong hands.
 
Carnevale, whose real name is '''Salvatore Lucania''', is actually affiliated with various Italian Mafia families, and has been using Emilio's concerts as a front for conducting his clandestine deals, a fact which both Emilio and Claudia have been painfully aware of. Smithee is revealed to be a patriotic agent for his country, Gillanba Republic, which is currently undergoing a crisis of military suppression by a neighbouring country and would make use of the ore to offset that imbalance. In order to intercept the ore, Lupin had Jigen and Goemon dressed up as middlemen ('''Kein Gejidasu''' and '''Eishin Wakagomo''', respectively, as anagrams of the kana ideograms in their full names) who would relate this profitable opportunity to Carnevale, and arrange a meeting between the two men. The Cherry Sapphire, itself a piece of Vespanian ore, was planned in as a last resort for a clean getaway, should the need arise.

After Carnevale and Smithee's accidentally deaths, Lupin and Conan work together to save themselves in the sea near Hachijou Island. Then, the next day, Emilio and Claudia can return safety in Italy.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
In a skyscraper in Manhattan, an auction house presents the stand-out piece of the night's auction: one of the famous 'Sunflower' paintings by Vincent Van Gogh. The painting belongs to a series painted by Van Gogh, an artist beloved by Japan, in his house in Arles in the south of France. Until recently, art historians believed there were seven sunflower paintings but only a year ago, an unknown eighth painting was discovered in Arles, with the style and colours being an exact match for the second Sunflower painting that was once kept in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Historians have examined this new painting and concluded that it must have been painted by Van Gogh himself or, at least, by someone working with him. The second Sunflower painting used to belong to Koyata Yamamoto, a businessman, but was thought to have been destroyed in World War II, so the current theory is that this newly discovered painting could be a reproduction of the lost one. The painting draws considerable interest and at the subsequent auction, [[Jirokichi Suzuki]] buys it for a record price.

Jirokichi holds a press conference the day after the auction and announces that he plans to collect all seven Sunflower paintings to hold an exhibition in Lake Rock Museum, Shinjuku, a newly constructed museum that belongs to the Suzuki Group. He says the title of the exhibition will be "the sunflowers who longed to return to Japan." He already has made contact with the owners of the other six paintings and obtained their permission to get the paintings on loan, having to promise he would transport and preserve the paintings safely and treat them with the utmost care and security while they are in his museum. To help him with this task, Jirokichi presents seven experts that he hired for the exhibition, calling them "the Seven Samurai". As the experts join him on stage, suddenly a playing card comes flying through the sky and falls onto the stage. The card carries an announcement and [[Kaito Kid]]'s logo. Kid appears, holds his card gun out and causes a mass panic. He throws a smoke bomb and flees, but Detective Charlie, one of Jirokichi's "samurai", a security professional, pursues him. Kid is backed into a corner by Charlie, but lets off a flash bomb, breaks the window behind him and jumps off the building, flying away with his hangglider.

The following morning, a Sky Japan plane hired by Jirokichi and painted with the Sunflowers leaves for Japan, carrying the newest painting on board, along with Jirokichi, [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] and six of the "samurai" as well as a special guest - none other than: [[Shinichi Kudo]]. But just as the jet descends towards Haneda Airport, a bomb detonates in the cargo hold, blowing the door away and taking the painting with it. The explosion was large enough to destroy the engines as well and the airplane goes into freefall, causing a panic onboard. Kogoro, the 7th Samurai chosen by Jirokichi, has been waiting at Haneda Airport to receive the painting along with the police and Ran, wanting to surprise Sonoko. They can only watch the plane spinning out of control and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], scared for her best friend, panics and can't bear look while the frantic pilot tries to land safely. They do make it down in one piece, but, just after they've touched the ground, received by emergency services, Kaito Kid comes flying out of nowhere with the paining in hand. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] chases after Kid but can't catch him. Strangely enough, Kid flies off without the painting. Conan finds it, brings it to Jirokichi's Samurai and they confirm that the painting hasn't been damaged.

Several days later, Jirokichi invites the Seven Samurai to a conference to plan what counter-measures they can take against Kid. The owners of the other paintings had also become reluctant in loaning him their paintings. That morning, Conan, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], and the [[Detective Boys]] head to the Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Museum of Art, to see the 5th painting. Just after Conan leaves, Kogoro receives another notice from Kid. The Samurai decode it and find that the notice states that he will steal the 5th painting tonight. Conan, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], and the others are viewing the 5th painting together with an old woman named Umeno, said to visit and view the painting every day, when Jirokichi, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]], and the others arrive. Conan quickly realizes a case is unfolding and joins up with them. They decide that they should move the painting to a safe place before night comes, and the painting is to be wrapped up under the instructions of the Seven Samurai. However, Kid had already infiltrated the staff, and steals the painting.

He also leaves behind a message to the museum's curator, saying he will return it if paid ten billion yen. Jirokichi immediately decides to pay the enormous ransom. The deal with Kid turns into chaos, however Conan and the others miraculously succeed in retrieving the 5th painting. However, even Conan begins to wonder about Kid's escalating crimes which have come to endanger many lives.

With Kid's motives as yet a mystery, the exhibition of the Seven Sunflowers at Lake Rock Museum meets its opening day. The most excited to see the exhibition are the Detective Boys, Conan, Ran, and Sonoko. Just as they begin to view the paintings, Conan spots a Kid Card. The enigmatic message could not be deciphered by even the Seven Samurai, but its presence attests that Kid is already within the museum. Jirokichi quickly orders to evacuate the museum goers and staff, to trap Kid inside the museum. However, he seems to have anticipated this turn of events, and blows up the electric room, leaving the museum in a blackout.

Then, a great fire also breaks out, leaving Jirokichi and the others no option but to send the paintings to their storage room, and evacuate to a special room outside. But, the 2nd and 5th painting could not be collected, and the inferno closes in on them. The only people remaining in Lake Rock Museum are a great detective, a great phantom thief, and...?!

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit isn't Kaitou Kid and was only counterfeiting Kid's cards. The card that Kid left earlier implies that there is a traitor among the people that Jirokichi invited. After some investigating, Ginzo Nakamori believes that the traitor is '''Koji Azuma''', the one who killed his twin brother half a year ago in Arles.

}}

To save the last painting in the burning room, Conan and Kid head for the room. Each painting had a safety mechanism so that the paintings would be transported to a safe room but for one of the paintings the mechanism got stuck and was left to burn. Conan and Kid, who is disguised as Shinichi, are helpless until Ran breaks the wall that had the painting stuck on the wall. The painting comes off and falls through the tunnel in the wall but due to this impact, the roof on top of them starts to collapse, leaving Ran unconscious and start falling down the open wall. Both Conan and Kid falls in as well and they find themselves trapped. Kid gets out of the Shinichi costume and goes to check for another exit as the vault doors are sealed. Kid did all of those things because he realised that the paintings were in danger from someone wanting to destroy them.

Conan calls everyone as Shinichi and starts the deduction show: the traitor/culprit is not Koji Azuma like everyone believes, but rather '''Natsumi Miyadai''', who - in a misguided affection for van Gogh - tried to stop the exhibition or destroy the Ashiya painting, which she perceives as a fake with an unrightful place among the 'real' van Goghs. The proof for her involvement was her suggestion to decorate the gallery walkway with sunflowers, to use them as incendiary material for the fire. Kaitou Kid attempted to work against Miyadai's scheme after she anonymously attempted to hire him to steal the painting. This was also a personal matter for Kid because his confidant and assistant, [[Konosuke Jii|Jii]], had in his youth worked in the mansion where the painting was kept and thought to be destroyed, and where he witnessed Kiyosuke Azuma rescuing it at the cost of his own life, thereby incidentally proving that it is the real painting instead of a replication.

Once Conan finishes his deduction, Kid swoops down with his hang glider to save the falling Conan and unconscious Ran. He successfully catches Ran but misses Conan, who keeps on falling. Kaitou Kid escapes the collapse and leaves Ran in the forest at the lake's shore, where she is found by Kogoro and the others. When she wakes up, nobody knows where Conan is. It suddenly hits her that Conan's still in the building.

In the building, Conan saves himself with the suspenders from hitting the ground. But because the cliff that had the building on top of it collapses and drops underwater, the room fills up with water fast. He tries to push the painting out of the way but cannot move it. At last, the room is filled up and Conan held his breath underwater. He thinks of a way to save himself and the heavy painting when he suddenly remembers the firework ball belt. He uses that as a force to push him and the painting to the surface. He is close to the surface when he runs out of breath and as a last ditch effort, he inflates a second ball to float him to the surface. When he gets to the surface, Kogoro retrieves Conan from the water. In the meantime, Inspector Charlie manages to get Kid in his sights, but he has come to realize that Kid, despite his profession as a master thief, is very much an honorable person. Thus, the two opponents part with a new-found respect for each other.

At the end of the movie, it is revealed that Agasa's ticket was stolen by Kaito Kid so he was able to go inside Jirokichi's exhibition of the painting.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* The movie grossed 4.48 billion yen.
* Koji Azuma's car in Arles is a 1980 gray Peugeot 505 [551A].
* This film is dedicated to Yasuo Uragami, the real-life sound director of Detective Conan, who died on December 18, 2014. A title card reads "In memory of Yasuo Uragami" appears during the end credits of the film.
* The special guest voice actor for this movie is actress and model [[Wikipedia: Nana Eikura| Nana Eikura]] portraying Natsumi Miyadai.
* The end credits featured scenes from New York (including [[Wikipedia: Statue of Liberty|Statue of Liberty]] and [[Wikipedia: Times Square|Times Square]]), the city of [[Wikipedia: Arles|Arles]], and real-life [[Wikipedia: Sunflowers (Van Gogh series)|Vincent Van Gogh's "Sunflowers"]].
* The film setting in 2015, and indeed Umeno tells to Haibara that it is seventy years from 1945. However, this is an outrageous mistake, because Jii is now 61-year-old.
<spoiler>
* At least, for a time, Jii disguised himself as Zengo Goto, Jirokichi Suzuki's bodyguard. It remains unclear if Kid used the same disguise in between.
* During the scene where the culprit (as a [["The Criminal"|black figure]]) is shown blowing up the electric room, the watchers can already tell who that is from his/her walkie-talkie earpiece. Among the Seven Samurais, who are using those for communication, only Natsumi Miyadai has her earpiece on the left ear like the culprit. Furthermore, it is also her the laptop with five sunflower paintings drawings and the word "Vincent", where Jii discovers the phosphine used by the culprit, while Kishi's doesn't have it.
* When Zengo Goto escaped the monitor room with Conan, the monitors showed that all first, second, fifth and seventh Sunflowers paintings were not successfully secured, while actually, like in Conan's flashback later, it should only be the second and fifth paintings because of some objects preventing the mechanism from working.</spoiler>

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Japan is about to celebrate the world's largest sports festival, "WSG-World Sports Games", in Tokyo. In line with the opening ceremony, it is announced that the world's first "Vacuum Superconducting Linear" train, boasting a maximum speed of 1,000 km/h which combined all of Japan's technologies, will be opened to the public between Shin-Nagoya Station and Shibahama Station and established in Tokyo. As the world's attention is garnered, an incident occurs at a party venue where famous tournament sponsors are gathered, leading to an abnormal situation where top dogs of companies are kidnapped one after another. Behind the scenes are Shuichi Akai who monitors the incident, and the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] who waits for orders from Akai.

Conan's reasoning reveals the relevance of the apocalyptic WSG kidnapping incident that occurred in Boston, USA, fifteen years ago, and that the incident was also under the jurisdiction of the FBI. Is this a coincidence? What is going to happen in Japan, where many types of people from all over the world are gathered?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>On Conan's cue, Jodie makes a phone call to all the passengers listed on the Hyper Linear's passenger list. All the passengers' phones ring, except for one, '''Maiko Shirahato''', who reveals herself to Conan and Masumi on the Hyper Linear. Shirahato's phone had been damaged when she went to sabotage the MRI room back at the airport. Shirahato reveals herself as the daughter of Makoto Ishihara (their names are [[Wikipedia: Anagram|anagrams]]), and wants to avenge her father who she said was falsely accused by the FBI by killing Alan.

However, Shirahato is then shot by a silver made bullet from Shuichi Akai with calculated plans from Conan and help from Sera and Alan. As she is unconscious. It is revealed that Shirahato has an accomplice in her crimes, who is unmasked to be '''Osamu Inoue'''.

{{InfoBox Crime

| suspects = Osamu Inoue

| description = Osamu made the plan to demolished the Maglev Hyper Linear at Tokyo Olympic Stadium.
}}

His motive for planning the crimes with Shirahato is to avenge the first victim from the incident that occurred fifteen years ago in Atlanta - Kou Miyazawa, who is revealed to be Osamu's father.

Osamu manages to run off the train with the leak out of Gas turbine-electric after being outed as the accomplice. He activates his back-up plan to force the train Alan and the others on to crash into a nearby [[Wikipedia: Shinagawa Station|train station]]. Luckily through Conan and Sera’s efforts they manage to barely survive the train wreck.

Osamu at the same time is driving in his car attempting to evade the authorities and escape. However Agent Jodie, James, and Camel remain hot on his trail and with help from Akai and his brother Shukichi they manage to corner him. They force him to crash his car, and upon learning Jodie is with the FBI he becomes enraged but breaks down when Jodie reveals he misunderstood the entire case involving his father. His witness testimony fifteen years ago hadn't been ignored, it led to the capture of the copycat four years later who was an accomplice in the original crime, he had confessed in return for immunity for the first crime and Osamu family hadnt been forced into exile from the US due to shame but put in witness protection. Makoto Ishihara had indeed committed the original crime, Inoue was mistaken that the alibi she gave for her father should have cleared his name as he had the assistance of an accomplice and her family had been put in witness protection because they were the family of a perpetrator rather than due to her fathers death in custody. With the perpetrator dead and the accomplice given immunity the first case was closed as unresolved to hide the plea deal, neither Osamu nor Maiko learnt the true events of fifteen years ago.</spoiler>

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
"Edge of Ocean", a newly-built conference and commercial centre, is being prepared to host an international summit. A day before the guests are due to arrive, a restaurant in of the inter-connected buildings is destroyed by an explosion. Members of the [[Public Security Bureau]], including [[Rei Furuya]] and [[Yuya Kazami]], who were in the middle of a security inspection, are injured in the blast and there are several casualties.

}}

To everyone's shock and dismay, the fingerprints recovered at the explosion site, match Kogoro's, and police discover further "evidence" on his computer. Nobody seems to be willing to represent Kogoro in the upcoming criminal trial, until [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Eri Kisaki|Eri]], and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] are contacted by Kyoko Tachibana, a freelance lawyer, who says she will take on Kogoro's case.

Chief prosecutor Sayoko Iwai reviews the evidence and decides she has got enough to bring Kogoro to trial. She instructs Makoto Kusakabe, one of her prosecutors, to bring charges against Kogoro. The police are still investigating, however, and current findings point to a surprising theory - the gas valve and pressurized cooker used to set off the explosion can be connected to the internet ([[Wikipedia: Internet of things|Internet of Things (IoT)]]) and that they were remotely accessed via a Nor browser being installed on Kogoro's laptop to set the bomb off. The police hold a press conference presenting their findings and just before it begins, citizens of Tokyo experience all sorts of cases of IoT- devices short-circuiting and setting off small fires. Kogoro was still in prision while these malfunctions happen, which proves he couldn't have been the culprit to begin with, the charges are dropped and Kogoro is released from prison.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The true culprit is prosecutor '''Makoto Kusakabe'''. Fumikazu Haba was his informant and worked with him on an investigation into hackers who targeted Japan's space agency. Haba also fell in love with Tachibana, having met heron an earlier case. During the investigation, Haba discovered the hackers were working for a game company and broke in, trying to find evidence to arrest them. He was framed and arrested. The Public Security Bureau interrogated him, Rei Furuya was the agent in charge of his case, and after Haba had apparently committed suicide, Kusakabe wanted to get revenge for his friend and decided to target the Bureau.

Furuya, who has been listening in to Kusakabe's confession, reveals that Haba's death was faked to get the prosecutor's office to stop using and abusing informants.

Kusakabe apologises tearfully, but says it is too late, he already hacked the capsule launched from Hakuchō to crash into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police building. In an attempt to prevent casualties, he initiates an IoT -a attack to cause a blackout at Police Headquarters and give everyone time to be evacuated to the Edge of Ocean centre. Kusakabe gives Conan the access code and, with Rei, Professor Agasa, Ai and the Detective Boys, Conan just about manages to detonate the bomb near the capsule in time and allow the capsule to safely drop into the sea - only to realise it is now about to hit the Edge of Ocean casino tower. With seconds before impact, Conan deflects the capsule with a football from his belt.

Rei explains to Conan that he had to frame Kogoro to get Conan involved, because Rei couldn't have been involved in the investigation otherwise.</spoiler>

'''{{nihongo|Hiroshi Agasa|阿笠博士|Agasa Hiroshi}}''', most commonly referred to as '''{{nihongo|Professor Agasa|阿笠博士|Agasa-hakase}}''', and known in the [[Funimation]] dub as '''Hershel Agasa''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Agasa is [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s next door neighbor and family friend. The first person to [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|learn]] that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually Shinichi, he invented all of Conan's special [[gadgets]] as well as the [[Detective Boys]]' badges and flashlight-watches.

== Background ==
[[Image:Agasa's house.JPG‎|thumb|left|200px|Agasa's house]]
Hiroshi Agasa is an inventor and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s next-door neighbor. He makes his living with a wide number of patents and inventions, including video games (of which the [[Detective Boys]] are enthusiastic test players). While many of his inventions are useless or have even damaged his in-house research laboratory, Agasa has been successful enough to live in a large house and even rebuild it when necessary. He has been a friend of Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] since their childhood years.

After Shinichi was shrunk by the [[APTX 4869]], the first person he met and entrusted himself to was Agasa. After having been convinced that the little boy was Shinichi, Agasa was also the first one to advise Shinichi to exercise caution in his pursuit of the [[Black Organization]]. He also helped Shinichi in establishing his new identity as [[Conan Edogawa]], including constructing several gadgets which help Shinichi in carrying on his detective work surreptitiously. In order to perfect Conan's cover, he also enrolled him in [[Teitan Elementary]] and thus came to know the children who would form the Detective Boys. When [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano]] fled the clutches of the Black Organization, she fled to Shinichi's house but collapsed from exhaustion near Agasa's doorstep. Agasa subsequently took her in, learned about her true identity and helped her establish her new identity as Ai Haibara. He also entrusted Shinichi's parents with the secret about what has happened to their son.

Ever since these beginnings, Agasa has been an invaluable friend for Shinichi and the Detective Boys as a confidant, paternal friend, and someone to hang out with. He often takes the children on trips, most of which turn into criminal cases instead.

Agasa owns a Volkswagen Beetle for at least 10 years, but it is quite unreliable and often breaks down in trips. At one point, he owns a Persian rug which can be sold for money to replace his Beetle, but since the rug was involved in a theft, the police is investigating and Agasa hasn't been able to sell it.

By knowing Shinichi and Shiho's identity, Agasa is aware of the existence of Black Organization as well as their crimes. While not confronting them directly, Agasa has been quite active in helping Shinichi and his allies planning against them. Agasa is entrusted by Shinichi when it comes to such cases.

=== Childhood and relatives ===
Agasa went to Teitan Elementary<ref name=410p>Manga Volume 40, File 7, Agasa's First Love</ref> and then Okuho middle school.<ref>Manga chapter 572 page 10</ref> He met [[Fusae Campbell|Fusae Kinoshita]] during sixth grade, though she moved away during the fall term and his family moved from Tokyo to the countryside soon after the term ended.<ref> Manga chapter 410 pages 08-10</ref>

Agasa has a rich accountant uncle named Kurisuke Agasa who died 50 years before the present timeline at the age of 38.<ref>Manga chapter 111 page 06</ref> The uncle liked gadgets. Kurisuke's sister, Teiko, was alive until a year ago when she passed away at age 76.<ref>Manga chapter 111 page 07</ref> Agasa’s cousin’s granddaughter is of the right age to be introduced to Takagi.<ref>Manga chapter 208</ref>

== Personality ==
Hiroshi Agasa is a jovial, caring and outgoing person and has many friends in his community, a fact which helped him in his covering up of Conan's and Haibara's true origins (he simply claims that they are the children of his friends and acquaintances). Agasa is highly intelligent, having achieved at least one advanced degree and managing to invent a slew of useful gadgets. He is especially proud of his inventions, and their quality must have been recognized, since they have already been used during official events<ref>[[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2|Episode 157: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] where his "Tropical Rainbow" explosive is used during a celebration to destroy the Haido City museum.</ref>. While a bachelor, he is very paternal and enjoys the company of the [[Detective Boys]]. Agasa has a special love for pasta and tomato juice.

== Appearance ==
Agasa is an average size man with slightly-overweight frame. Looking somewhat older than his actual age, he is bald on the top of his head with the rest of his hair silver. He sports thick eyebrows and a mustache and a somewhat bulbous nose. He wears round glasses and is regularly seen in his lab attire

== Non-canon plot overview ==

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ===
[[File:Conan&Agasa.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Professor Agasa with Conan]]
[[Conan]] treats Agasa 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 creates the necessary gadgets for Shinichi to play Conan's role and works hard to ensure this secret identity is safe, even from Shinichi's close friends like Ran and Sonoko. Agasa has also acted as mouthpiece for Conan when deducing crimes if Kogoro Mouri is not around or it's not safe to tranquilize him. Agasa has been supportive of Shinichi and Ran's relationship.
In private, Agasa calls Conan by his real name Shinichi. Sometimes he tends to slip and nearly exposes Shinichi's identity to public.

=== Ran Mouri ===
Since childhood, Ran and Shinichi would visit Agasa's house to play. While their relationship is not often showcased, Ran treats Agasa like an uncle or grandfather and trusts him with Conan. The professor seems to know when something is different and/or bothering Ran. Agasa has many times saved Ran, even using his body to block Ran from being shot. Seeing Agasa and the others getting hurt from being around her, she rans away to keep them safe. Agasa has been supportive of Shinichi and Ran's relationship and would often tease them both.

=== Ai Haibara ===
{{main|Agasa family}}
The relationship between [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] and Professor Agasa is rather unusual, if not humorous. Despite what their actual (and apparent) ages are, Haibara often times acts more like a mother to the professor, constantly reminding him to watch what he eats. On several occasions, she has removed fattening foods from his reach<ref name=Depths>[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref>, and is attempting to help get him into better shape<ref>Episode 722</ref>. There have also been instances where she'll instinctively step in front of Agasa to protect him from danger.<ref name=Eyes>[[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]]</ref> Out of all the people she's met, Haibara seems most comfortable about acting herself with Agasa; which might be attributed to the fact that he was the one who found her after she escaped the Black Organization, and took her in. Ai grows to love him like a real father and often tries to protect him above anyone else.

Though they only realized the fact some time later, Agasa knew her parents when they were still alive—especially her father, [[Atsushi Miyano]]—even though he didn't know at that time that they'd had children.<ref>Manga Chapter 398: The Torn Friendship, Part 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 423: A Mystery Left by a Visitor</ref>

Unlike with Conan/Shinichi, both in public and in private, Agasa calls Haibara by her alias name Ai, even though he knows her real identity as Shiho Miyano.

=== Yusaku Kudo ===
Agasa and [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] are good friends.

=== Juzo Megure ===
Since Agasa's trips with Detective Boys often lead them to crime scenes, Agasa has met Megure frequently. Megure trusts and listens to Agasa's deduction (which actually comes from Conan using Voice Changing Bowtie, but Conan doesn't have to tranquilize Agasa). They are in good terms with each other, but at one point Megure remarks that Agasa has become a corpse magnet like Mouri.

=== Wataru Takagi ===
For the same reasons, Takagi and Agasa meet frequently and are in good terms with each other.

=== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ===
In the story, Akai and Agasa meet for the first time after Akai fakes his death and becomes Subaru (Akai uses the Voice Changing Choker invented by Agasa to fake his voice as Subaru). Agasa eventually learns about Akai's secret identity and helps him with his disguise. On daily events, Subaru helps Agasa on his inventions or picking up the Detective Boys when he is not around.

Both in public and in private, Agasa calls Akai by his alias name Subaru.

[[Image:Child Agasa.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sixth Grade Agasa with Fusae Campbell]]

=== Fusae Campbell ===
[[Fusae Campbell]], today a successful fashion designer, was Agasa's first love in their childhood years. Because of her half-American heritage she has blonde hair, which made her the target of ridicule among her fellow students and thus very shy; she usually wore a large hat to conceal her hair. Three months after meeting Agasa, her family abruptly moved away, but she promised to return every ten years to a special place to meet him again. However, Agasa could not figure out what location she meant, until the [[Detective Boys]] and Conan find the original note she left behind and help him realize the answer to her clues. While they did not openly talk about their feelings during their brief reunion, there is a hint that their relationship is now beginning to grow.

== 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. Agasa placed 19th in the poll with 36 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. Agasa placed 37th overall.<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>

== Quizzes ==

{{main|Agasa's Quizzes}}

In the non-[[canon]] movies, Agasa usually gives a multiple-choice quiz to the [[Detective Boys]] as a reward or just to test their knowledge. These are mostly based on puns or rearranging the strokes in a character to get the answer.

== Name origin ==
Agasa's name comes from mystery writer [[wikipedia:Agatha Christie|'''Agatha''' Christie]]. His first name '''Hiroshi''' is a pun as it is written with the same kanji for {{nihongo|''hakase''|博士|professor}}. Agasa's English given name "Herschel" likely comes from the physician friend of [[Haibara Ai|V. I. Warshawski]], Dr. Charlotte “Lotty” ''Herschel''.

Additionally, his great uncle and aunt, '''{{nihongo|Kurisuke|栗介}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Teiko|定子}}''', get their names from the Japanese pronunciation of '''{{nihongo|Christie|クリスティ|Kurisuti}}''' (''Kurisuke'' obviously comes from ''Kurisu'' (クリス), but ''Teiko'' comes from ''Tei'' (テイ), and alternate writing for ''Ti'' (ティ)).

* In a fan poll, Professor Agasa was voted as the character most likely to be [[The Boss of the Black Organization]]. However, in an interview, [[Gosho Aoyama]] stated that Agasa is not the boss.<ref>朝日新聞:「黒の組織ボス、もう登場」　コナン作者・青山さん (2014年1月6日16時53分)

*He is hinted to be [[Konosuke Jii]]'s "professor friend" who repaired Kaito Kuroba's bike in Magic Kaito [[Magic Kaito Volume 5#Sun Halo|Sun Halo]]. This allusion is returned in [[Volume 94#File 997 - Haibara's Mood|file 997]] of Detective Conan, where Agasa mentions that he lent his VW Beetle to his "barkeeper friend".
*Agasa's website is named "www.agasa-hiroshi.com" as revealed in [[Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case]].

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Ayumi watches a vampire movie on TV. The movie has just reached an exciting part, a vampire meets a woman dressed in white, when Ayumi's mother comes in and tells her to go to bed. Ayumi asks if she can continue watching for a bit but her mother reminds her that she has to go to school and that her class is going swimming the following day.

Ayumi goes to bed and sees a strange shadow on her balcony. It turns out to be the master thief Kaito Kid. Ayumi, still impressed by the movie, wants to know if Kid is Dracula but Kid tells her he isn't, he just needed a little rest and that Ayumi shouldn't tell anyone she's seen him. Kid gently presses a kiss to the back of Ayumi's hand. Suddenly, a police helicopter comes flying in and they hear Inspector Ginzo Nakamori shouting that he's spotted Kid and that they have to catch him now. Kid quickly says goodbye to Ayumi and jumps, opening his hang glider and flying away from the police.

At school, Ayumi excitedly tells her friends that she met "handsome" Kaito Kid. Conan thinks that he is going to catch the master thief one day.

On August 19, the police hold a meeting about Kaito Kid at Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters. They start by giving an overview of Kid's criminal career: The thief with the case number 1412, better known as Kaito Kid, has committed 134 heists 15 in 12 other countries other than Japan, including America, France and Germany, stealing jewels worth a total of 38,725,000,000 yen. Kid recently announced his new heist in his usual cryptic fashion: "Between the dusk of the Lion and the dawn of the Virgin, when the second hand on the clock indicates the twelfth symbol, I will take the Memories Egg from Shining Sky chamber. The last wizard of the century, Kaito Kid."

The Memories Egg is a priceless egg made by famous jeweler Fabergé and belonged to the Russian Imperial family, the Romanovs. It was recently discovered in a collection of antiquities belonging to the Suzuki corporation.

The Memories Egg was originally a gift from the Russian czar to his wife on Easter Sunday. It belonged to a collection of rare eggs made by famous jeweler Fabergé between 1885 and 1916. So far, fifty of these eggs have been found worldwide, meaning the Memories Egg will be the fifty-first piece. The Suzuki corporation which currently owns the egg plans to display it in the Modern Arts museum in Osaka beginning on August 23rd.

Inspector Nakamori explains the current state of the investigation. Police believe that "between the dusk of the Lion and the dawn of the Virgin" indicates the day Kaito Kid plans to commit his heist. The astrological sign Leo ends on August 23 and the astrological sign Virgo begins on August 23, meaning Kaito Kid wants to steal the egg between dusk on August 22 and dawn on August 23. As for the next part, "when the second hand on the clock indicates the twelfth symbol", police think this must be a reference to the time Kaito Kid wants to break into the museum, but they don't have a definitive answer yet. Following Director Suzuki's wishes, the police asked Kogoro Mori to help protect the egg. They also believe Kaito Kid will show up at Osaka Castle. Nakamori implores his officers to work together with their colleagues in Osaka and to protect the egg at all costs, telling them it doesn't matter if Kid escapes this time ... but then he changes direction and holds a fiery speech, telling everyone their reputation is on the line if they don't catch Kid as well and that they have to finally put him behind bars. He is met with loud cheers.

Kogoro, Ran and Conan get off the train in Osaka and Sonoko picks them up, announcing that she's giving them a ride in the family limousine. She introduces everyone to their driver, her father's secretary Masato Nishino who speaks English, French and German fluently and has already visited lots of overseas countries.

Meanwhile, the Detective Boys visit Professor Agasa and tell him it's unfair that Conan gets to go to Osaka by himself. Agasa cheers them up by bringing them slices of watermelon. When they want to eat, Agasa stops them, saying they are only allowed to eat if they solve his newest riddle: "I (meaning Agasa) have many grandchildren, how old are they?" Ai answers: "zero" which is correct and Agasa asks her to explain her reasoning. The solution is one of Agasa's beloved puns: "washi" (a way for elderly people to say "I") can also be read as "eagle" and "many ooku no mago" (grandchildren) can also mean many "egg's children" (tamago) - and an egg is zero years old.
The Detective Boys are impressed with Ai, as is Agasa, and they all happily eat watermelon.

The limousine arrives at the Suzuki Modern Arts Museum which is guarded by many police officers. Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Conan get out of the car and run into Heiji and Kazuha.

Sonoko takes her guests to see her father Shiro who is delighted to see Kogoro. Sonoko introduces Heiji and Kazuha to her father as well and Chairman Suzuki presents his guests: Sergei Ovchinnikov, a high-level representative of the Russian Embassy, Shoichi Inui, an arts dealer, Seiran Hoshi, a Chinese historian specialising in the Romanov Dynasty and freelance reporter Ryu Sagawa, who is currently investigating the Memories Egg and its origins. Kogoro wants to know more about the egg. Inui explains it is valued at 600 million yen and he would be able to afford it if Chairman Suzuki wants to sell the egg. Ovchinnikov angrily interjects, saying the egg belongs to Russia and needs to be sold to the Russian National Museum instead of just "some" arts collector, which offends Inui.

Inui and Ovchinnikov leave, telling the chairman they'll discuss this later. Nishino brings the egg into the room and Chairman Suzuki orders him to get everyone something to drink while he opens the egg. The egg contains several figures, Tsar Nicholas II and his family crowded together around a book, all made of gold. There is a lock for a key in the front of the egg and when a key is inserted there, the pages of the golden book on the Tsar's knees begin to turn. On a photo of the egg that is in the box as well, it says "ВОСПОМИНАНИE" which is a literal translation of the English "Memories Egg" and it also says "memories (RU: Воспоминания)" on the book inside the egg. Conan asks why the book is also called memories and Kogoro says it is obviously meant to show the Tsar and his children looking at a photo album and reminiscing together and that in itself is a memory. The Tsarina is missing from the egg which is odd to Conan as the egg was supposed to be a gift to her, so he wonders if she wouldn't have felt left out. Chairman Suzuki says that the egg was created in a time of great financial hardship for Russia.

Heiji brings everyone's attention back to Kid's message and asks the group what the "Shining Sky Chamber" could refer to. Kazuha replies that there is a saying that the fundaments of Osaka Castle are especially beautiful so maybe Kid meant "Osaka Castle is a shining light for the city". Superintendent Chaki and Inspector Nakamori join them and report that they are certain Kid will appear at Osaka Castle but they still haven't figured out when. Kogoro has a sudden "epiphany" and declares that "the twelfth symbol" refers to the 12th letter of the Latin alphabet, which is the letter L. At 3 AM, the hands on a clock form the letter L so that must mean Kid will appear at 3 AM.

Ran, Conan, Heiji and Kazuha visit Naniwa Buddha Shrine and get their fortunes read. Ran is excited about her "good" fortune and the message that tells her "if you wait, you will meet your love once again". Conan and Heiji leave the girls to it and discuss the riddle again, they are not certain that 3 AM really is the right answer. On the way back, Conan has a look at his message from the shrine and is confused - it says "when a tsunami destroys your home, nobody will be hurt", but also, and that alarms him: "a secret will be revealed".

Chairman Suzuki and Kogoro plan to eat at a restaurant since it is a while until Kid is supposed to show up. Inspector Nakamori wants to collect the egg and Kogoro asks if he's going to carry it to the exhibit. Nakamori reveals that the egg is fake, the original plan was to take the original egg to the place Kid mentions in his notice and set a trap for him, but Kid is too smart for that, so the police will hide the egg somewhere Kid doesn't know. Nakamori can't tell Kogoro where the original egg is, only he himself and his subordinates know. He already did a "face check" on his subordinates to see if Kid hasn't snuck in, wearing an elaborate disguise. Kogoro suddenly grabs Nakamori, pulling at his cheeks to check if he wasn't actually Kid in disguise, explaining that someone has to check Nakamori as well. Nakamori angrily does the same to Kogoro and while they "wrestle", a white pigeon wearing a record device can be seen on the windowsill.

<spoiler>
Conan and Heiji go back to the museum once it is dark and watch Natsumi Kosaka, the owner of a sweetshop and her family's assistant Kuranosuke Sawabe argue with Nishino. Natsumi asks for an urgent meeting with Chairman Suzuki because she saw the picture of the Imperial Easter egg on the leaflets announcing the exhibition and realised that this egg looked different from the sketch her great-grandfather made.

Heiji looks at his watch and says "that's interesting. 3 AM looks like a "L" and now we'll almost have a "he"." It is currently 7:13 in the evening and at 7:20, the hands on the clock form a "he".

Conan looks at Heiji in shock. He has just figured out the second part of Kid's message - "he" is the twelfth character of the phrase. Kid didn't mean 3 AM, but 7:20 PM.
Conan and Heiji want to rush to Osaka Castle when it suddenly starts to rain and Heiji realises that "Shining Sky chamber" was meant to refer to the [[wikipedia:Tsūtenkaku|Tsuuten Tower]] because there is a weather station on top of Tsuuten Tower that "shines".

Kid gets himself ready on top of Tsuuten Tower and the dove with the recording device returns to him. He gets a remote out of his pocket and sets off fireworks at [[wikipedia:Osaka Castle|Osaka Castle]].</spoiler>

Chairman Suzuki and Kogoro have a good time at Restaurant Kakahei and watch the "unexpected" fireworks.

Conan says the fireworks were an attempt to divert attention away from Tsuuten Tower and asks Nishino if he knows where the egg is. Nishino replies that Nakamori took it to a different secret location. There is another sudden explosion at Haginochaya electric substation which causes a blackout in the entire city. Kid planted bombs at the station to watch where emergency power is turned back on after the blackout, helping him figure out where the egg actually is. He watches from the top of Tsuuten Tower and realises the egg is in an abandoned warehouse.

Kid flies to the warehouse on his hang glider, chased by Conan on his skateboard but Conan gets stuck in a dead end. Heiji picks him up on the motorcycle and they reach Kid's location. Conan enters the warehouse alone and goes upstairs, finding Kid who has already taken the egg and has knocked Nakamori and his officers out. Kid activates his car gun, filling the room with smoke and uses the confusion to fly away. Conan escapes the warehouse and Heiji and Conan chase after Kid on his motorcycle. Heiji injures himself and tells Conan to go run after kid, when suddenly, a shot is fired, aimed at Kid's right eye, who crashes and falls into the sea.

Conan retrieves the egg and Kid's injured pigeon. A wide-range search for Kid's body gets underway, but the police can't find any traces of the master thief and nobody knows if he is still alive.

The following day, the exhibition is cancelled to keep the egg safe. Everyone returns home on a luxury liner belonging to the Suzuki Corporation.

On board, Natsumi explains herself to Chairman Suzuki. Her great-grandfather's name was Kiichi, he was a craftsman working for Fabergé in Russia. He fell in love and married a Russian woman and they returned to Japan together. Her great-grandmother had a daughter and died soon after giving birth. Nine years later, her great-grandfather also died, aged just 45 years. Natsumi was raised by her grandmother, Kiichi's daughter, after her grandfather and her parents died in a car accident when Natsumi was five. A month ago her grandmother passed away as well.

Natsumi worked as a beautician in Paris but returned to Japan after her grandmother's death. She found an old sketch by her great-grandfather when she looked through her grandmother's possession, which she now presents to the group. The sketch shows the Memories egg, but it looks like a middle part is missing from the egg. Conan examines the picture and asks if it's possible there were originally two eggs because the outlines would align if you added a middle part. Conan asks himself what "Memories" actually refers to and looks at the egg once again when he notices a small glass piece on the bottom of the egg. When he tries to touch it, it falls out.

Conan picks it up and sees that something has been printed on the glass. He asks Nishino to turn the lights off and shines his wristwatch at the glass, making a picture of a castle reflect on the nearest wall. The glass is a mirror on which images were printed. Legend has it that Christians used these secret mirrors to project crosses onto the nearest wall to worship in secret.

Natsumi recognises the castle as Yokosuka Castle, built by her great-grandfather and inherited by her grandmother. Kogoro says that Natsumi's great-grandfather must have taken the eggs with him when he fled Russia during the Russian Revolutions. He must have sold the gems from the second egg to build Yokusuka Castle and the egg must have been hid inside. He then left the message in the first egg's mirror for his descendants. Natsumi shows Kogoro the key she found among her grandmother's possessions and asks if the key is important. Kogoro excitedly replies it has to be and that they will all look for the second egg in Yokosuka Castle once they are back in Tokyo.

Ran and Conan care for Kid's pigeon and bandage its injured wings. There is a knock at the door and they open it, revealing Sagawa who records them on his camera and leaves. Sonoko, Natsumi and Nishino join them. The pigeon flaps his wings and Nishino flees in panic, covering his nose.

Sonoko and Conan ask Seiran to join them in Ran's room. Seiran thanks them for the invitation and gets ready when Sonoko and Conan spot a photo frame on her desk that says "Grigori" on the back. Sonoko asks Seiran if that is a photo of her boyfriend and Seiran quickly says yes, putting the photo down on the desk.

Natsumi tells Ran that she has been living in Paris since she was twenty. They notice Natsumi has grey eyes, the same colour as her mother and grandmother and - incidentally - Seiran.

Ran and Seiran chat about the differences between Japanese and Chinese. Ran says her name is "orchid" and Seiran would be "blue orchid" in Japanese.
Seiran explains that her actual name is Chinglan ("sei" being "ching" in Chinese and "ran" being" lan), she just goes by the Japanese transcription when she is in Japan.
Her last name Hoshi is actually "Pusu" in Chinese. Ran and Sonoko ask her about their Chinese names - Ran would be Lan Maoli and Sonoko Yuanzu Lingmu.

Natsumi wonders whether Seiran is her age and they find out they were born in the same year, two days apart - Seiran's birthday is May 5, Natsumi's is May 3.
Conan tells them he was born in the middle of them on May 4, which briefly makes Ran suspicious that he could be Shinichi because May 4 is Shinichi's birthday as well but she quickly dismisses that as nonsense.

Natsumi and Seiran join Kogoro and Chairman Suzuki for a drink. Sagawa watches them and Seiran asks Sagawa about the pendant he wears - a ring labeled "Maria".
Sagawa explains that this ring used to belong to Maria, a daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and goes back into the ship.

Sagawa is murdered that evening at 7:30 PM, shot in the right eye by the unknown culprit.

Nishino discovers the body and runs to tell Kogoro. Kogoro, Ran and Conan accompany a panicked Nishino to Sagawa's bedroom and find his dead body.

Kogoro examines the body and says that the murder must have been committed 30 minutes ago. The pendant is missing as well. Kogoro tells Chairman Suzuki to call the police.

Inspector Megure is at police headquarters in Tokyo when he receives the call and the officers decide to take a helicopter to the luxury liner. Shiratori and Takagi join Megure.

Kogoro welcomes his former colleagues and they examine the crime scene together. Kogoro explains about the ring that was taken from Sagawa and says that he thinks this was the motive for the murder. One of their constables finds a pen near the body which looks like the pen that Nishino carries with him so they decide to ask him about it. Nishino is surprised, confirming that this is indeed his pen but says he has no idea how it ended up in Sagawa's room. Kogoro questions him about his alibi. Nishino was preparing dinner for everyone and had just got everything ready, so he planned on telling Sagawa, went to his room and found him dead. He claims he took a shower at 7:10 PM and had a short nap, saying that he must have slept at the time the murder was committed. Takagi comes back from the crime scene and reports that Sagawa's video tapes have gone missing which would explain the chaos in the room. Upon hearing that, Conan suddenly runs off and Ran chases after him. Shiratori stops her, telling her to stay with the others and he will find Conan for her.

Conan calls Professor Agasa and asks for his help. He wants Agasa to search online for murders that were committed by shooting the victims in their right eye. Agasa tells Conan he'll get to work immediately. When they speak again a while later, Agasa says that he had a look at the ICPO crime database and someone, whose age, gender and origins are currently unknown, is indeed wanted for committing murders in that fashion. The ICPO have given the name "Scorpion" to the unknown serial killer.

Takagi finds the missing ring under Nishino's bed which makes Nishino the main suspect. Nishino defends himself. Conan has a closer look at the bed and notices a padded pillow on the mattress, asking Nishino if he is allergic to feathers. Nishino says yes and Conan tells everyone that that confirms Nishino couldn't have been the murderer. They found feathers all over the crime scene in Sagawa's room, the murderer searched the entire room and tore the feather pillows open, which is something someone with feather allergies could not have done. Chairman Suzuki confirms Nishino's story, saying Nishino is so severely allergic to feathers that he gets sneezing fits whenever he is near a bird, that's why he uses a different pillow. Sonoko says she now understands why Nishino ran out of Ran's room when he saw the pigeon.

Megure wonders who the murderer might be. Conan tells everyone about "Scorpion" who specialises in stealing treasures belonging to the Romanov dynasty and shoots his victims through the right eye which makes him a prime suspect for Sagawa's murder and also for the attack on Kaito Kid. Kogoro wants to know how Conan knows such things. Conan has no idea how to answer and panics when suddenly, Shiratori comes to his help, replying that he heard Conan talk to Professor Agasa. Megure says he doesn't understand why the ring was placed in Nishino's room when it was Scorpion who killed Sagawa.
Nishino remembers that he met Sagawa three years ago in another country. Sagawa was filming a crying girl whose house had just burned down. Nishino told him to stop, but Sagawa didn't listen, so Nishino punched him.

Kogoro says it all makes sense to him now. They are actually investigating two different cases - first, Sagawa wanted to frame Nishino for stealing his ring. Sagawa made sure everyone on board saw the ring, then, while Nishino took a shower, Sagawa snuck into his room, placed the ring under his bed and took his pen to stack evidence against Nishino. While he was back in his room, Scorpion shot Sagawa. Scorpion feared their true identity was revealed on Sagawa's videos, shot him and tore the entire room apart, looking for the tapes and the ring. Shiratori says he saw a lifeboat missing which means Scorpion must have already escaped.

Everyone agrees that Scorpion is now after the second egg and will show up at Yokosuka Castle. Shiratori decides to accompany Natsumi to the castle as well.

The following morning, August 24, the luxury liner arrives in Tokyo.

The Detective Boys are going to meet Professor Agasa and are just about to arrive at his house when they hear Ai telling Agasa "let's go to the castle". Genta decides Agasa isn't going without them so they hide in the back row of the car and pop up as Agasa drives away, surprising him.

Shiratori and the others take two separate cars to the castle. Sergei, sitting next to Kogoro, asks if the police can confirm that Sagawa's ring really belonged to Maria Romanova. Kogoro replies that the ring is currently being examined and they can't say for certain. Sergei says it would be a miracle and tells everyone that Maria is said to have been the kindest of the Tsar's four daughter and had beautiful grey eyes. It is recorded that the entire Romanov family was executed after the Russian revolution but they still haven't found Maria's or her brother's corpses.

The cars stop in front of Yokosuka Castle. Everyone immediately notices that it resembles the well-known Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. Natsumi says the castle has been called "perfect for Cinderella."
Conan wonders why the castle looks German when Natsumi's grandparents were from Russia.

Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys turn up and Agasa hands Conan a new pair of glasses, telling him they have "a special upgrade." Inui arrives later than the others, explaining that he had an errand. He now carries a bag.
Everyone enters the castle and Kogoro asks Sawabe to lock the doors so the children can't get in and into danger. The Detective Boys, undeterred, decide to find another entrance to "hunt the treasure".

Natsumi shows everyone around. They visit an armor gallery full of medieval Western European designs and the "lady's lounge" where Natsumi's grandmother preferred to spend her days, as well as the "Tsar's Gallery".
Inui sneaks back into the lounge, believing there is a secret door or vault in the room. He searches the lounge and finds a vault hidden behind a large picture, grabs a lockpick from his bag and opens the vault. When he tries to grab the jewellery hidden in the vault, his hand is caught by a metal cuff. A trapdoor in the ceiling opens and swords fall from the ceiling, hanging on chains. Inui yells out in shock and the others find him. Sawabe lets him out using a key on his set of keys and explains that Kiichi created this trap to protect the family treasure from thieves. There are many of these traps all around the castle.

Sawabe leads the group into the old study and they notice photos of Kiichi, his family and Kiichi following his hobbies on the walls. Conan can't find a photo of Kiichi's mother so he asks Natsumi if it was taken down. Natsumi replies she has never seen a photo of her grandmother and has no idea what she looked like. Inui points out a photo of Rasputin which even has his signature, G. Rasputin ('''RU:''' Г. Распутин), at the bottom. Ran has no idea who Rasputin was and Kogoro tells her he was called "the most evil man of the century". Inui explains that Rasputin was also known as "the Mad Monk" and is said to have been responsible for the downfall of the Tsar and the ruin of the Romanovs. The Tsar's brother Duke Yusupov killed Rasputin to avenge his brother's family and Rasputin's body was found in a river. One of his eyes was missing.

Kogoro lights a cigarette and Conan notices the smoke moving unusually so he asks Kogoro to give him the cigarette, holds it up and says there must be an air current coming from the floor. They peel back a carpet and find a keyboard with buttons with the [[Wikipedia:Russian alphabet|Russian alphabet]] (''The modern Russian alphabet consists of 33 letters: twenty consonants (⟨б⟩, ⟨в⟩, ⟨г⟩, ⟨д⟩, ⟨ж⟩, ⟨з⟩, ⟨к⟩, ⟨л⟩, ⟨м⟩, ⟨н⟩, ⟨п⟩, ⟨р⟩, ⟨с⟩, ⟨т⟩, ⟨ф⟩, ⟨х⟩, ⟨ц⟩, ⟨ч⟩, ⟨ш⟩, ⟨щ⟩), ten vowels (⟨а⟩, ⟨е⟩, ⟨ё⟩, ⟨и⟩, ⟨о⟩, ⟨у⟩, ⟨ы⟩, ⟨э⟩, ⟨ю⟩, ⟨я⟩), a semivowel / consonant (⟨й⟩), and two modifier letters or "signs" (⟨ь⟩, ⟨ъ⟩) that alter pronunciation of a preceding consonant or a following vowel.'') on the floor. First types the password "Memories" in Russian Воспоминания (vospominaniya) then types the password "Kiichi Kosaka" in Russian Киити Косака (Kiiti Kosaka) but password is incorrect Sergei says he has an idea about the password and types "The Last Wizard of the Century" in Russian Последний волшебник века (Posledniy volshebnik veka), at which point the door opens and they see a staircase leading into the basement.

Natsumi goes downstairs with her visitors and explains that "the last wizard of the century" was her great-grandfather's nickname.

In the meantime the Detective Boys found a different entrance to the castle, but they all fall through a trapdoor into the basement. Instead of waiting for Professor Agasa to come and help, they decide to follow one of the tunnels to find the "treasure". Conan hears them making a sound in a nearby tunnel and, accompanied by Inspector Shiratori, goes to find the source of the noise.

Inui notices a shadowy figure in another tunnel, chases after it and he is shot in his right eye by the unknown killer.

Conan and Shiratori find the Detective Boys and after Conan told them off, they continue their search together with the rest of the group. They eventually end up in front of a massive wall with ornate engravings and paintings. Conan immediately figures the mechanism out and tells Inspector Shiratori to shine his flashlight at a two-headed vulture on one of the paintings which wears a single crown encrusted with jewels. The beam of light activates a photo-switch in the crown and a set of hidden stairs appears which lead further underground.

The investigation party finds itself in a chamber designed like a crypt with a small shrine surrounded by water. In the middle of the chamber there is a massive coffin with a lock made out of copper. Natsumi realises that the key she found among her great-grandfather's possessions could fit into the lock and it does. When she opens it, they find a skeleton in the coffin which holds the second Memories egg on its chest. The corpse is female and Natsumi says it must be her great-grandmother who could not get a funeral in an ordinary cemetery because she was Russian. They carefully retrieve the egg and notice it is empty. Ayumi asks if the egg couldn't be a [[Wikipedia:Matryoshka doll|Matryoshka Doll]], maybe it needs to be put into something else or something else needs to be put into the egg. Shiratori reveals that he had the first egg with him all along, having borrowed it from Sonoko's father. They insert the first egg into the larger second egg, but nothing happens. Conan notices another round piece of glass on the bottom and wonders if the many round glass pieces on the inside and outside of both eggs are a lens. He asks everyone to extinguish the candles in the chamber. Shiratori's flashlight is placed into a candle holder shaped like a goblet and they put the eggs on top of the flashlight.

The light triggers a switch and the mechanisms inside both eggs. Multiple beams of light are projected out from the eggs onto the walls, revealing pictures of Nicholas II's family and friends. They now realise that the golden figurines inside the first egg are looking through a photo album and that's why the eggs are called "Memories eggs". They notice Kiichi among the pictures, together with a woman with grey eyes which has to be Natsumi'S great-grandmother. The lights begin to fade and Ai wonders why Rasputin was missing from the pictures when he was such a close friend of the Tsar's. Conan also wonders where Inui went.

Just before it gets dark, Conan sees a laser point tracking Kogoro's body and creeping up to his right eye. There is a shot but Conan saves Kogoro by hitting him with his flashlight.

However, the laser pointer is now aimed at Ran. Conan pushes her out of the way and runs after Scorpion.

Everyone panics and tries to flee. Natsumi drops the eggs when she stumbles and Scorpion picks them up. Conan follows Scorpion and Shiratori runs after Conan.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler> Conan, Shiratori and the culprit reach the last staircase and Conan nearly falls over Inui's dead body. The culprit throws a hand grenade at the staircase as they run up, wanting to let the cellar cave in. Conan escapes but Shiratori is trapped behind the rubble. The culprit runs out of the staircase and presses the reset button on the keypad, causing the trap door to close. Conan quickly discovers a switch near the top of the staircase that reopens the door from the basement. The culprit has almost made it out of the castle and empties a tank of propane as they run, lighting it with a torch to burn the castle down.

Conan catches up with the culprit in the armory and uses his bowtie to address Scorpion with her true name - '''Seiran Hoshi'''. She pretends to be Chinese but is actually Russian, her Chinese name (Chinglan Pusu; 星晴岚; ''pinyin'' Xīng qíng lán) is a clue to it as it is an anagram of Rasputin (CN:拉斯普京; Lā sī pǔjīng / RU:Распутин). Conan also claims Seiran is a direct descendant of Rasputin, that's why she had a photo of him in her room on the luxury liner. Seiran erupts in fury, shooting at everything she hears while Conan changes between voices, telling her how he found her on the ICPO database and how she gave herself away.

}}

At this point, Conan reveals himself and continues to explain his deductions while the room begins to burn. He says Sagawa was killed because he filmed everything with his camera and Seiran thought he had spotted the photo of Rasputin she carried with her. She killed Inui because he saw her preparing her handgun and she attacked Kogoro and Ran because Kogoro insulted Rasputin.
Seiran aims at Conan with her handgun and Conan calmly tells her to go ahead. The bullet bounces off his glasses because he asked Agasa to upgrade them with bulletproof glass to protect himself against Scorpion.
While Seiran reloads the handgun, Conan activates his power-kick-shoes and wants to kick the helmet off one of the suits of armor at her.

Just as she points the gun at Conan again, a playing card comes flying through the room and knocks the gun out of her hands. Shiratori appears in the room, grabs an unconscious Seiran and tells Conan to follow him. Conan is initially hesitant but the castle has begun to collapse, leaving him no choice.

The rest of the party manage to escape via the entrance the Detective Boys discovered, with help from Professor Agasa who returned bringing a rope and other utensils.

The castle collapses and the Detective Boys are inconsolable, fearing Conan died in the fire.

Suddenly Conan appears behind them with the eggs in hand. He hands the eggs to Natsumi and tells everyone that Shiratori has arrested Scorpion, better known as Seiran.
Firefighters arrive at the scene and are quickly able to get the fire under control.

Natsumi decides she wants to remove her great-grandmother's corpse and bury her in the family tomb while everyone else wonders about Kaito Kid.
Conan is certain Kaito Kid is still alive.

Back home, Ran is emotional, confronting Conan why he "looked so much like Shinichi" when he pushed her out of the path of the bullet.

Conan can't bear to see her cry and he almost begins to reveal himself when, suddenly, to his immense relief, "a Shinichi" appears at the agency, drenched from head to toe as it has begun to rain heavily.
Ran runs to get a towel for "Shinichi", who walks out again.

Conan follows "Shinichi" out of the Detective Agency and tells him he is Kaito Kid, as evidenced by the soot still on his shoulders. Conan also says he knows Kid was disguised as Shiratori for most of the investigation, actual Shiratori had been nowhere near Osaka. They discuss Natsumi's great-grandmother - she was actually Maria Romanova, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Kid explains that he wanted to steal the egg to give it back to Maria, its rightful owner. Kiichi Kosaka fell in love with Maria during the Russian Revolution and they fled to Japan together, taking the eggs with them. After Maria's death, Kiichi used her inheritance to build a magnificent castle as her tomb.

Conan asks Kid why he helped them as well and Kid replies "some mysteries had better stay mysteries", just as Ran returns with a towel. Kid disappears in a flurry of pigeons. Conan thinks it is crystal clear why Kid got involved - Ran helped his pigeon and he merely returned the favour.

After the credits, Ran scolds Conan for letting "Shinichi" leave.
Conan replies "Shinichi" was in a hurry and that he will see Ran soon again.

Ran, still fuming, performs a couple karate chops, slicing the towel into pieces, voicing what she is going to do the next time she sees Shinichi. Horrified at the sight and relieved that his secret is kept safe for now, he decides it is better he doesn't return to his normal body any time soon in fear of Ran going through with her threat.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Masato Nishino - Maxwell Nishino
:* Shoichi Inui - Giordano Infantino
:* Ryu Sagawa - Ray Segue
:* Natsumi Kousaka - Natasha Kousaka
:* Kuranosuke Sawabe - Kuranosuke Sotheby
* In addition to the caption changes that were also done in the previous movie, several other instances of on-screen text were altered as well, such as the blue words that appear on the big screen when the Osaka Police are analyzing the Kaitou Kid's message.

== Trivia ==
* While on the cruise-liner after bandaging the bird, there is a brief glimpse of the room on the ship Conan is in. He is staying in room 221-A. 221-B Baker Street was Holmes' apartment in London. This is an obvious homage to the Holmes' series which is referenced in the anime quite frequently.
* This marks the first appearance of Ai Haibara, as Vi Graythorn in the English Dub. Oddly, she was never introduced in the english dub due to Funimation cancelling the dub only a few episodes short of her debut. Weirdly, she appeared in the movie, but for English only viewers, people questioned who she was because she was never introduced before.
* Kaito Kid becomes aware that Conan is Shinichi after he overhears Conan talking to Professor Agasa about Scorpion by tapping the lines to confirm his suspicions about what was going to happen on the ship.
* The balcony encounter between Ayumi and Kaito Kid is reprised by Kid and Sonoko in the canon manga story [[Volume 82#Twin Bets|Twin Bets]] and its [[Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku|TV anime adaptation]].
* In [[Volume 96#File 1018 - Inside of Ice|file 1018]] there were rumors that Kaitou Kid stood on the top of the Tsutenkaku before, but back then Kazuha never saw him with her own eyes. This is an allusion to the movie plot, but it is not canon.
* The English dub script for this movie is noticeably much closer to the original Japanese version, as per Funimation's current dubbing policy. However, the dub names were still changed.
* Nishino Masato drove a blue 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Stretched Limousine O'Gara Coachworks 'VIP' in Osaka.
* ''From Russia With Love'', a TV Special of the anime ''[[Lupin III]]'', is the source of inspiration for this movie.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://togetter.com/li/563746|accessdate=April 05, 2016|publisher=togetter.com|title=コナン好きがみたルパン三世}}</ref>
* While entering the password of the secret pathway at Yokosuka Castle, Sergei typed Kiichi Kousaka in Russian incorrectly. Instead of ''Киичи'', he wrote ''Кииуи'', which is spelled ''Kiiui'' in Latin.
* Shoichi Inui drove a Brilliant red Volvo 850 Estate T-5R.
* The castle is based off the [[Wikipedia: Neuschwanstein Castle|Neuschwanstein Castle]] in Germany.
* Scorpion's weapon is a customized Walther PP with a scope, rail, and laser sights.
* [[Wikipedia: Felix Yusupov|Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov]] shot [[Wikipedia: Grigori Rasputin|Grigori Rasputin]] with a Nagant M1895.
* The four Fabergé eggs shown are the [[Wikipedia: Blue Serpent Clock (Fabergé egg)|Blue Serpent Clock]] (1895), the [[Wikipedia: Basket of Flowers (Fabergé egg)|Basket of Wild Flowers]] (1901), the [[Wikipedia: Swan (Fabergé egg)|Swan]] (1906) and the [[Wikipedia: Mosaic (Fabergé egg)|Mosaic]] (1914).
* The song that the Detective Boys were singing when they met Conan and Inspector Shiratori in the castle was the third opening, [[Nazo]].
* The Suzuki Modern Art Museum in Osaka is the [[wikipedia:National Museum of Art of Osaka|National Museum of Art of Osaka]].
* By the beginning of this movie, the first Kaito Kid has struck 134 times so far: 15 have been overseas, and 12 in different countries.
* Sonoko claimed that she unknowingly played with the Memories Egg when she was small.
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-09-20-18h29m07s88.png|right|thumb|200px|Conan's fortune]]
* When drawing their fortunes, Conan gets "Some Luck", which is pretty vague. However it also included four categories: Exams, Business, Travel, and Illness.
** Exams said, "Do your best, and Leave the rest to fate."
** Business said, "Do not push too hard, but do not get too relaxed either."
** Travel said, "Your secret will be exposed. Give it up."
** Illness said, "Precaution is your best defense."

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Ayumi watches a vampire movie on TV. The movie has just reached an exciting part, a vampire meets a woman dressed in white, when Ayumi's mother comes in and tells her to go to bed. Ayumi asks if she can continue watching for a bit but her mother reminds her that she has to go to school and that her class is going swimming the following day.

Ayumi goes to bed and sees a strange shadow on her balcony. It turns out to be the master thief Kaito Kid. Ayumi, still impressed by the movie, wants to know if Kid is Dracula but Kid tells her he isn't, he just needed a little rest and that Ayumi shouldn't tell anyone she's seen him. Kid gently presses a kiss to the back of Ayumi's hand. Suddenly, a police helicopter comes flying in and they hear Inspector Ginzo Nakamori shouting that he's spotted Kid and that they have to catch him now. Kid quickly says goodbye to Ayumi and jumps, opening his hang glider and flying away from the police.

At school, Ayumi excitedly tells her friends that she met "handsome" Kaito Kid. Conan thinks that he is going to catch the master thief one day.

On August 19, the police hold a meeting about Kaito Kid at Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters. They start by giving an overview of Kid's criminal career: The thief with the case number 1412, better known as Kaito Kid, has committed 134 heists 15 in 12 other countries other than Japan, including America, France and Germany, stealing jewels worth a total of 38,725,000,000 yen. Kid recently announced his new heist in his usual cryptic fashion: "Between the dusk of the Lion and the dawn of the Virgin, when the second hand on the clock indicates the twelfth symbol, I will take the Memories Egg from Shining Sky chamber. The last wizard of the century, Kaito Kid."

The Memories Egg is a priceless egg made by famous jeweler Fabergé and belonged to the Russian Imperial family, the Romanovs. It was recently discovered in a collection of antiquities belonging to the Suzuki corporation.

}}
The Memories Egg was originally a gift from the Russian czar to his wife on Easter Sunday. It belonged to a collection of rare eggs made by famous jeweler Fabergé between 1885 and 1916. So far, fifty of these eggs have been found worldwide, meaning the Memories Egg will be the fifty-first piece. The Suzuki corporation which currently owns the egg plans to display it in the Modern Arts museum in Osaka beginning on August 23rd.

Inspector Nakamori explains the current state of the investigation. Police believe that "between the dusk of the Lion and the dawn of the Virgin" indicates the day Kaito Kid plans to commit his heist. The astrological sign Leo ends on August 23 and the astrological sign Virgo begins on August 23, meaning Kaito Kid wants to steal the egg between dusk on August 22 and dawn on August 23. As for the next part, "when the second hand on the clock indicates the twelfth symbol", police think this must be a reference to the time Kaito Kid wants to break into the museum, but they don't have a definitive answer yet. Following Director Suzuki's wishes, the police asked Kogoro Mori to help protect the egg. They also believe Kaito Kid will show up at Osaka Castle. Nakamori implores his officers to work together with their colleagues in Osaka and to protect the egg at all costs, telling them it doesn't matter if Kid escapes this time ... but then he changes direction and holds a fiery speech, telling everyone their reputation is on the line if they don't catch Kid as well and that they have to finally put him behind bars. He is met with loud cheers.

Kogoro, Ran and Conan get off the train in Osaka and Sonoko picks them up, announcing that she's giving them a ride in the family limousine. She introduces everyone to their driver, her father's secretary Masato Nishino who speaks English, French and German fluently and has already visited lots of overseas countries.

Meanwhile, the Detective Boys visit Professor Agasa and tell him it's unfair that Conan gets to go to Osaka by himself. Agasa cheers them up by bringing them slices of watermelon. When they want to eat, Agasa stops them, saying they are only allowed to eat if they solve his newest riddle: "I (meaning Agasa) have many grandchildren, how old are they?" Ai answers: "zero" which is correct and Agasa asks her to explain her reasoning. The solution is one of Agasa's beloved puns: "washi" (a way for elderly people to say "I") can also be read as "eagle" and "many ooku no mago" (grandchildren) can also mean many "egg's children" (tamago) - and an egg is zero years old.
The Detective Boys are impressed with Ai, as is Agasa, and they all happily eat watermelon.

The limousine arrives at the Suzuki Modern Arts Museum which is guarded by many police officers. Ran, Sonoko, Kogoro and Conan get out of the car and run into Heiji and Kazuha.

Sonoko takes her guests to see her father Shiro who is delighted to see Kogoro. Sonoko introduces Heiji and Kazuha to her father as well and Chairman Suzuki presents his guests: Sergei Ovchinnikov, a high-level representative of the Russian Embassy, Shoichi Inui, an arts dealer, Seiran Hoshi, a Chinese historian specialising in the Romanov Dynasty and freelance reporter Ryu Sagawa, who is currently investigating the Memories Egg and its origins. Kogoro wants to know more about the egg. Inui explains it is valued at 600 million yen and he would be able to afford it if Chairman Suzuki wants to sell the egg. Ovchinnikov angrily interjects, saying the egg belongs to Russia and needs to be sold to the Russian National Museum instead of just "some" arts collector, which offends Inui.

Inui and Ovchinnikov leave, telling the chairman they'll discuss this later. Nishino brings the egg into the room and Chairman Suzuki orders him to get everyone something to drink while he opens the egg. The egg contains several figures, Tsar Nicholas II and his family crowded together around a book, all made of gold. There is a lock for a key in the front of the egg and when a key is inserted there, the pages of the golden book on the Tsar's knees begin to turn. On a photo of the egg that is in the box as well, it says "ВОСПОМИНАНИE" which is a literal translation of the English "Memories Egg" and it also says "memories (RU: Воспоминания)" on the book inside the egg. Conan asks why the book is also called memories and Kogoro says it is obviously meant to show the Tsar and his children looking at a photo album and reminiscing together and that in itself is a memory. The Tsarina is missing from the egg which is odd to Conan as the egg was supposed to be a gift to her, so he wonders if she wouldn't have felt left out. Chairman Suzuki says that the egg was created in a time of great financial hardship for Russia.

Heiji brings everyone's attention back to Kid's message and asks the group what the "Shining Sky Chamber" could refer to. Kazuha replies that there is a saying that the fundaments of Osaka Castle are especially beautiful so maybe Kid meant "Osaka Castle is a shining light for the city". Superintendent Chaki and Inspector Nakamori join them and report that they are certain Kid will appear at Osaka Castle but they still haven't figured out when. Kogoro has a sudden "epiphany" and declares that "the twelfth symbol" refers to the 12th letter of the Latin alphabet, which is the letter L. At 3 AM, the hands on a clock form the letter L so that must mean Kid will appear at 3 AM.

Ran, Conan, Heiji and Kazuha visit Naniwa Buddha Shrine and get their fortunes read. Ran is excited about her "good" fortune and the message that tells her "if you wait, you will meet your love once again". Conan and Heiji leave the girls to it and discuss the riddle again, they are not certain that 3 AM really is the right answer. On the way back, Conan has a look at his message from the shrine and is confused - it says "when a tsunami destroys your home, nobody will be hurt", but also, and that alarms him: "a secret will be revealed".

Chairman Suzuki and Kogoro plan to eat at a restaurant since it is a while until Kid is supposed to show up. Inspector Nakamori wants to collect the egg and Kogoro asks if he's going to carry it to the exhibit. Nakamori reveals that the egg is fake, the original plan was to take the original egg to the place Kid mentions in his notice and set a trap for him, but Kid is too smart for that, so the police will hide the egg somewhere Kid doesn't know. Nakamori can't tell Kogoro where the original egg is, only he himself and his subordinates know. He already did a "face check" on his subordinates to see if Kid hasn't snuck in, wearing an elaborate disguise. Kogoro suddenly grabs Nakamori, pulling at his cheeks to check if he wasn't actually Kid in disguise, explaining that someone has to check Nakamori as well. Nakamori angrily does the same to Kogoro and while they "wrestle", a white pigeon wearing a record device can be seen on the windowsill.

<spoiler>
Conan and Heiji go back to the museum once it is dark and watch Natsumi Kosaka, the owner of a sweetshop and her family's assistant Kuranosuke Sawabe argue with Nishino. Natsumi asks for an urgent meeting with Chairman Suzuki because she saw the picture of the Imperial Easter egg on the leaflets announcing the exhibition and realised that this egg looked different from the sketch her great-grandfather made.

Heiji looks at his watch and says "that's interesting. 3 AM looks like a "L" and now we'll almost have a "he"." It is currently 7:13 in the evening and at 7:20, the hands on the clock form a "he".

Conan looks at Heiji in shock. He has just figured out the second part of Kid's message - "he" is the twelfth character of the phrase. Kid didn't mean 3 AM, but 7:20 PM.
Conan and Heiji want to rush to Osaka Castle when it suddenly starts to rain and Heiji realises that "Shining Sky chamber" was meant to refer to the [[wikipedia:Tsūtenkaku|Tsuuten Tower]] because there is a weather station on top of Tsuuten Tower that "shines".

Kid gets himself ready on top of Tsuuten Tower and the dove with the recording device returns to him. He gets a remote out of his pocket and sets off fireworks at [[wikipedia:Osaka Castle|Osaka Castle]].</spoiler>

Chairman Suzuki and Kogoro have a good time at Restaurant Kakahei and watch the "unexpected" fireworks.

Conan says the fireworks were an attempt to divert attention away from Tsuuten Tower and asks Nishino if he knows where the egg is. Nishino replies that Nakamori took it to a different secret location. There is another sudden explosion at Haginochaya electric substation which causes a blackout in the entire city. Kid planted bombs at the station to watch where emergency power is turned back on after the blackout, helping him figure out where the egg actually is. He watches from the top of Tsuuten Tower and realises the egg is in an abandoned warehouse.

Kid flies to the warehouse on his hang glider, chased by Conan on his skateboard but Conan gets stuck in a dead end. Heiji picks him up on the motorcycle and they reach Kid's location. Conan enters the warehouse alone and goes upstairs, finding Kid who has already taken the egg and has knocked Nakamori and his officers out. Kid activates his car gun, filling the room with smoke and uses the confusion to fly away. Conan escapes the warehouse and Heiji and Conan chase after Kid on his motorcycle. Heiji injures himself and tells Conan to go run after kid, when suddenly, a shot is fired, aimed at Kid's right eye, who crashes and falls into the sea.

Conan retrieves the egg and Kid's injured pigeon. A wide-range search for Kid's body gets underway, but the police can't find any traces of the master thief and nobody knows if he is still alive.

The following day, the exhibition is cancelled to keep the egg safe. Everyone returns home on a luxury liner belonging to the Suzuki Corporation.

On board, Natsumi explains herself to Chairman Suzuki. Her great-grandfather's name was Kiichi, he was a craftsman working for Fabergé in Russia. He fell in love and married a Russian woman and they returned to Japan together. Her great-grandmother had a daughter and died soon after giving birth. Nine years later, her great-grandfather also died, aged just 45 years. Natsumi was raised by her grandmother, Kiichi's daughter, after her grandfather and her parents died in a car accident when Natsumi was five. A month ago her grandmother passed away as well.

Natsumi worked as a beautician in Paris but returned to Japan after her grandmother's death. She found an old sketch by her great-grandfather when she looked through her grandmother's possession, which she now presents to the group. The sketch shows the Memories egg, but it looks like a middle part is missing from the egg. Conan examines the picture and asks if it's possible there were originally two eggs because the outlines would align if you added a middle part. Conan asks himself what "Memories" actually refers to and looks at the egg once again when he notices a small glass piece on the bottom of the egg. When he tries to touch it, it falls out.

Conan picks it up and sees that something has been printed on the glass. He asks Nishino to turn the lights off and shines his wristwatch at the glass, making a picture of a castle reflect on the nearest wall. The glass is a mirror on which images were printed. Legend has it that Christians used these secret mirrors to project crosses onto the nearest wall to worship in secret.

Natsumi recognises the castle as Yokosuka Castle, built by her great-grandfather and inherited by her grandmother. Kogoro says that Natsumi's great-grandfather must have taken the eggs with him when he fled Russia during the Russian Revolutions. He must have sold the gems from the second egg to build Yokusuka Castle and the egg must have been hid inside. He then left the message in the first egg's mirror for his descendants. Natsumi shows Kogoro the key she found among her grandmother's possessions and asks if the key is important. Kogoro excitedly replies it has to be and that they will all look for the second egg in Yokosuka Castle once they are back in Tokyo.

Ran and Conan care for Kid's pigeon and bandage its injured wings. There is a knock at the door and they open it, revealing Sagawa who records them on his camera and leaves. Sonoko, Natsumi and Nishino join them. The pigeon flaps his wings and Nishino flees in panic, covering his nose.

Sonoko and Conan ask Seiran to join them in Ran's room. Seiran thanks them for the invitation and gets ready when Sonoko and Conan spot a photo frame on her desk that says "Grigori" on the back. Sonoko asks Seiran if that is a photo of her boyfriend and Seiran quickly says yes, putting the photo down on the desk.

Natsumi tells Ran that she has been living in Paris since she was twenty. They notice Natsumi has grey eyes, the same colour as her mother and grandmother and - incidentally - Seiran.

Ran and Seiran chat about the differences between Japanese and Chinese. Ran says her name is "orchid" and Seiran would be "blue orchid" in Japanese.
Seiran explains that her actual name is Chinglan ("sei" being "ching" in Chinese and "ran" being" lan), she just goes by the Japanese transcription when she is in Japan.
Her last name Hoshi is actually "Pusu" in Chinese. Ran and Sonoko ask her about their Chinese names - Ran would be Lan Maoli and Sonoko Yuanzu Lingmu.

Natsumi wonders whether Seiran is her age and they find out they were born in the same year, two days apart - Seiran's birthday is May 5, Natsumi's is May 3.
Conan tells them he was born in the middle of them on May 4, which briefly makes Ran suspicious that he could be Shinichi because May 4 is Shinichi's birthday as well but she quickly dismisses that as nonsense.

Natsumi and Seiran join Kogoro and Chairman Suzuki for a drink. Sagawa watches them and Seiran asks Sagawa about the pendant he wears - a ring labeled "Maria".
Sagawa explains that this ring used to belong to Maria, a daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and goes back into the ship.

Sagawa is murdered that evening at 7:30 PM, shot in the right eye by the unknown culprit.

Nishino discovers the body and runs to tell Kogoro. Kogoro, Ran and Conan accompany a panicked Nishino to Sagawa's bedroom and find his dead body.

Kogoro examines the body and says that the murder must have been committed 30 minutes ago. The pendant is missing as well. Kogoro tells Chairman Suzuki to call the police.

Inspector Megure is at police headquarters in Tokyo when he receives the call and the officers decide to take a helicopter to the luxury liner. Shiratori and Takagi join Megure.

Kogoro welcomes his former colleagues and they examine the crime scene together. Kogoro explains about the ring that was taken from Sagawa and says that he thinks this was the motive for the murder. One of their constables finds a pen near the body which looks like the pen that Nishino carries with him so they decide to ask him about it. Nishino is surprised, confirming that this is indeed his pen but says he has no idea how it ended up in Sagawa's room. Kogoro questions him about his alibi. Nishino was preparing dinner for everyone and had just got everything ready, so he planned on telling Sagawa, went to his room and found him dead. He claims he took a shower at 7:10 PM and had a short nap, saying that he must have slept at the time the murder was committed. Takagi comes back from the crime scene and reports that Sagawa's video tapes have gone missing which would explain the chaos in the room. Upon hearing that, Conan suddenly runs off and Ran chases after him. Shiratori stops her, telling her to stay with the others and he will find Conan for her.

Conan calls Professor Agasa and asks for his help. He wants Agasa to search online for murders that were committed by shooting the victims in their right eye. Agasa tells Conan he'll get to work immediately. When they speak again a while later, Agasa says that he had a look at the ICPO crime database and someone, whose age, gender and origins are currently unknown, is indeed wanted for committing murders in that fashion. The ICPO have given the name "Scorpion" to the unknown serial killer.

Takagi finds the missing ring under Nishino's bed which makes Nishino the main suspect. Nishino defends himself. Conan has a closer look at the bed and notices a padded pillow on the mattress, asking Nishino if he is allergic to feathers. Nishino says yes and Conan tells everyone that that confirms Nishino couldn't have been the murderer. They found feathers all over the crime scene in Sagawa's room, the murderer searched the entire room and tore the feather pillows open, which is something someone with feather allergies could not have done. Chairman Suzuki confirms Nishino's story, saying Nishino is so severely allergic to feathers that he gets sneezing fits whenever he is near a bird, that's why he uses a different pillow. Sonoko says she now understands why Nishino ran out of Ran's room when he saw the pigeon.

Megure wonders who the murderer might be. Conan tells everyone about "Scorpion" who specialises in stealing treasures belonging to the Romanov dynasty and shoots his victims through the right eye which makes him a prime suspect for Sagawa's murder and also for the attack on Kaito Kid. Kogoro wants to know how Conan knows such things. Conan has no idea how to answer and panics when suddenly, Shiratori comes to his help, replying that he heard Conan talk to Professor Agasa. Megure says he doesn't understand why the ring was placed in Nishino's room when it was Scorpion who killed Sagawa.
Nishino remembers that he met Sagawa three years ago in another country. Sagawa was filming a crying girl whose house had just burned down. Nishino told him to stop, but Sagawa didn't listen, so Nishino punched him.

Kogoro says it all makes sense to him now. They are actually investigating two different cases - first, Sagawa wanted to frame Nishino for stealing his ring. Sagawa made sure everyone on board saw the ring, then, while Nishino took a shower, Sagawa snuck into his room, placed the ring under his bed and took his pen to stack evidence against Nishino. While he was back in his room, Scorpion shot Sagawa. Scorpion feared their true identity was revealed on Sagawa's videos, shot him and tore the entire room apart, looking for the tapes and the ring. Shiratori says he saw a lifeboat missing which means Scorpion must have already escaped.

Everyone agrees that Scorpion is now after the second egg and will show up at Yokosuka Castle. Shiratori decides to accompany Natsumi to the castle as well.

The following morning, August 24, the luxury liner arrives in Tokyo.

The Detective Boys are going to meet Professor Agasa and are just about to arrive at his house when they hear Ai telling Agasa "let's go to the castle". Genta decides Agasa isn't going without them so they hide in the back row of the car and pop up as Agasa drives away, surprising him.

Shiratori and the others take two separate cars to the castle. Sergei, sitting next to Kogoro, asks if the police can confirm that Sagawa's ring really belonged to Maria Romanova. Kogoro replies that the ring is currently being examined and they can't say for certain. Sergei says it would be a miracle and tells everyone that Maria is said to have been the kindest of the Tsar's four daughter and had beautiful grey eyes. It is recorded that the entire Romanov family was executed after the Russian revolution but they still haven't found Maria's or her brother's corpses.

The cars stop in front of Yokosuka Castle. Everyone immediately notices that it resembles the well-known Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. Natsumi says the castle has been called "perfect for Cinderella."
Conan wonders why the castle looks German when Natsumi's grandparents were from Russia.

Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys turn up and Agasa hands Conan a new pair of glasses, telling him they have "a special upgrade." Inui arrives later than the others, explaining that he had an errand. He now carries a bag.
Everyone enters the castle and Kogoro asks Sawabe to lock the doors so the children can't get in and into danger. The Detective Boys, undeterred, decide to find another entrance to "hunt the treasure".

Natsumi shows everyone around. They visit an armor gallery full of medieval Western European designs and the "lady's lounge" where Natsumi's grandmother preferred to spend her days, as well as the "Tsar's Gallery".
Inui sneaks back into the lounge, believing there is a secret door or vault in the room. He searches the lounge and finds a vault hidden behind a large picture, grabs a lockpick from his bag and opens the vault. When he tries to grab the jewellery hidden in the vault, his hand is caught by a metal cuff. A trapdoor in the ceiling opens and swords fall from the ceiling, hanging on chains. Inui yells out in shock and the others find him. Sawabe lets him out using a key on his set of keys and explains that Kiichi created this trap to protect the family treasure from thieves. There are many of these traps all around the castle.

Sawabe leads the group into the old study and they notice photos of Kiichi, his family and Kiichi following his hobbies on the walls. Conan can't find a photo of Kiichi's mother so he asks Natsumi if it was taken down. Natsumi replies she has never seen a photo of her grandmother and has no idea what she looked like. Inui points out a photo of Rasputin which even has his signature, G. Rasputin ('''RU:''' Г. Распутин), at the bottom. Ran has no idea who Rasputin was and Kogoro tells her he was called "the most evil man of the century". Inui explains that Rasputin was also known as "the Mad Monk" and is said to have been responsible for the downfall of the Tsar and the ruin of the Romanovs. The Tsar's brother Duke Yusupov killed Rasputin to avenge his brother's family and Rasputin's body was found in a river. One of his eyes was missing.

Kogoro lights a cigarette and Conan notices the smoke moving unusually so he asks Kogoro to give him the cigarette, holds it up and says there must be an air current coming from the floor. They peel back a carpet and find a keyboard with buttons with the [[Wikipedia:Russian alphabet|Russian alphabet]] (''The modern Russian alphabet consists of 33 letters: twenty consonants (⟨б⟩, ⟨в⟩, ⟨г⟩, ⟨д⟩, ⟨ж⟩, ⟨з⟩, ⟨к⟩, ⟨л⟩, ⟨м⟩, ⟨н⟩, ⟨п⟩, ⟨р⟩, ⟨с⟩, ⟨т⟩, ⟨ф⟩, ⟨х⟩, ⟨ц⟩, ⟨ч⟩, ⟨ш⟩, ⟨щ⟩), ten vowels (⟨а⟩, ⟨е⟩, ⟨ё⟩, ⟨и⟩, ⟨о⟩, ⟨у⟩, ⟨ы⟩, ⟨э⟩, ⟨ю⟩, ⟨я⟩), a semivowel / consonant (⟨й⟩), and two modifier letters or "signs" (⟨ь⟩, ⟨ъ⟩) that alter pronunciation of a preceding consonant or a following vowel.'') on the floor. First types the password "Memories" in Russian Воспоминания (vospominaniya) then types the password "Kiichi Kosaka" in Russian Киити Косака (Kiiti Kosaka) but password is incorrect Sergei says he has an idea about the password and types "The Last Wizard of the Century" in Russian Последний волшебник века (Posledniy volshebnik veka), at which point the door opens and they see a staircase leading into the basement.

Natsumi goes downstairs with her visitors and explains that "the last wizard of the century" was her great-grandfather's nickname.

In the meantime the Detective Boys found a different entrance to the castle, but they all fall through a trapdoor into the basement. Instead of waiting for Professor Agasa to come and help, they decide to follow one of the tunnels to find the "treasure". Conan hears them making a sound in a nearby tunnel and, accompanied by Inspector Shiratori, goes to find the source of the noise.

Inui notices a shadowy figure in another tunnel, chases after it and he is shot in his right eye by the unknown killer.

Conan and Shiratori find the Detective Boys and after Conan told them off, they continue their search together with the rest of the group. They eventually end up in front of a massive wall with ornate engravings and paintings. Conan immediately figures the mechanism out and tells Inspector Shiratori to shine his flashlight at a two-headed vulture on one of the paintings which wears a single crown encrusted with jewels. The beam of light activates a photo-switch in the crown and a set of hidden stairs appears which lead further underground.

The investigation party finds itself in a chamber designed like a crypt with a small shrine surrounded by water. In the middle of the chamber there is a massive coffin with a lock made out of copper. Natsumi realises that the key she found among her great-grandfather's possessions could fit into the lock and it does. When she opens it, they find a skeleton in the coffin which holds the second Memories egg on its chest. The corpse is female and Natsumi says it must be her great-grandmother who could not get a funeral in an ordinary cemetery because she was Russian. They carefully retrieve the egg and notice it is empty. Ayumi asks if the egg couldn't be a [[Wikipedia:Matryoshka doll|Matryoshka Doll]], maybe it needs to be put into something else or something else needs to be put into the egg. Shiratori reveals that he had the first egg with him all along, having borrowed it from Sonoko's father. They insert the first egg into the larger second egg, but nothing happens. Conan notices another round piece of glass on the bottom and wonders if the many round glass pieces on the inside and outside of both eggs are a lens. He asks everyone to extinguish the candles in the chamber. Shiratori's flashlight is placed into a candle holder shaped like a goblet and they put the eggs on top of the flashlight.

The light triggers a switch and the mechanisms inside both eggs. Multiple beams of light are projected out from the eggs onto the walls, revealing pictures of Nicholas II's family and friends. They now realise that the golden figurines inside the first egg are looking through a photo album and that's why the eggs are called "Memories eggs". They notice Kiichi among the pictures, together with a woman with grey eyes which has to be Natsumi'S great-grandmother. The lights begin to fade and Ai wonders why Rasputin was missing from the pictures when he was such a close friend of the Tsar's. Conan also wonders where Inui went.

Just before it gets dark, Conan sees a laser point tracking Kogoro's body and creeping up to his right eye. There is a shot but Conan saves Kogoro by hitting him with his flashlight.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler> Conan, Shiratori and the culprit reach the last staircase and Conan nearly falls over Inui's dead body. The culprit throws a hand grenade at the staircase as they run up, wanting to let the cellar cave in. Conan escapes but Shiratori is trapped behind the rubble. The culprit runs out of the staircase and presses the reset button on the keypad, causing the trap door to close. Conan quickly discovers a switch near the top of the staircase that reopens the door from the basement. The culprit has almost made it out of the castle and empties a tank of propane as they run, lighting it with a torch to burn the castle down.

Conan catches up with the culprit in the armory and uses his bowtie to address Scorpion with her true name - '''Seiran Hoshi'''. She pretends to be Chinese but is actually Russian, her Chinese name (Chinglan Pusu; 星晴岚; ''pinyin'' Xīng qíng lán) is a clue to it as it is an anagram of Rasputin (CN:拉斯普京; Lā sī pǔjīng / RU:Распутин). Conan also claims Seiran is a direct descendant of Rasputin, that's why she had a photo of him in her room on the luxury liner. Seiran erupts in fury, shooting at everything she hears while Conan changes between voices, telling her how he found her on the ICPO database and how she gave herself away.

At this point, Conan reveals himself and continues to explain his deductions while the room begins to burn. He says Sagawa was killed because he filmed everything with his camera and Seiran thought he had spotted the photo of Rasputin she carried with her. She killed Inui because he saw her preparing her handgun and she attacked Kogoro and Ran because Kogoro insulted Rasputin.
Seiran aims at Conan with her handgun and Conan calmly tells her to go ahead. The bullet bounces off his glasses because he asked Agasa to upgrade them with bulletproof glass to protect himself against Scorpion.
While Seiran reloads the handgun, Conan activates his power-kick-shoes and wants to kick the helmet off one of the suits of armor at her.

Just as she points the gun at Conan again, a playing card comes flying through the room and knocks the gun out of her hands. Shiratori appears in the room, grabs an unconscious Seiran and tells Conan to follow him. Conan is initially hesitant but the castle has begun to collapse, leaving him no choice.

The rest of the party manage to escape via the entrance the Detective Boys discovered, with help from Professor Agasa who returned bringing a rope and other utensils.

The castle collapses and the Detective Boys are inconsolable, fearing Conan died in the fire.

Suddenly Conan appears behind them with the eggs in hand. He hands the eggs to Natsumi and tells everyone that Shiratori has arrested Scorpion, better known as Seiran.
Firefighters arrive at the scene and are quickly able to get the fire under control.

Natsumi decides she wants to remove her great-grandmother's corpse and bury her in the family tomb while everyone else wonders about Kaito Kid.
Conan is certain Kaito Kid is still alive.

Back home, Ran is emotional, confronting Conan why he "looked so much like Shinichi" when he pushed her out of the path of the bullet.

Conan can't bear to see her cry and he almost begins to reveal himself when, suddenly, to his immense relief, "a Shinichi" appears at the agency, drenched from head to toe as it has begun to rain heavily.
Ran runs to get a towel for "Shinichi", who walks out again.

Conan follows "Shinichi" out of the Detective Agency and tells him he is Kaito Kid, as evidenced by the soot still on his shoulders. Conan also says he knows Kid was disguised as Shiratori for most of the investigation, actual Shiratori had been nowhere near Osaka. They discuss Natsumi's great-grandmother - she was actually Maria Romanova, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Kid explains that he wanted to steal the egg to give it back to Maria, its rightful owner. Kiichi Kosaka fell in love with Maria during the Russian Revolution and they fled to Japan together, taking the eggs with them. After Maria's death, Kiichi used her inheritance to build a magnificent castle as her tomb.

Conan asks Kid why he helped them as well and Kid replies "some mysteries had better stay mysteries", just as Ran returns with a towel. Kid disappears in a flurry of pigeons. Conan thinks it is crystal clear why Kid got involved - Ran helped his pigeon and he merely returned the favour.

After the credits, Ran scolds Conan for letting "Shinichi" leave.
Conan replies "Shinichi" was in a hurry and that he will see Ran soon again.

Ran, still fuming, performs a couple karate chops, slicing the towel into pieces, voicing what she is going to do the next time she sees Shinichi. Horrified at the sight and relieved that his secret is kept safe for now, he decides it is better he doesn't return to his normal body any time soon in fear of Ran going through with her threat.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Masato Nishino - Maxwell Nishino
:* Shoichi Inui - Giordano Infantino
:* Ryu Sagawa - Ray Segue
:* Natsumi Kousaka - Natasha Kousaka
:* Kuranosuke Sawabe - Kuranosuke Sotheby
* In addition to the caption changes that were also done in the previous movie, several other instances of on-screen text were altered as well, such as the blue words that appear on the big screen when the Osaka Police are analyzing the Kaitou Kid's message.

== Trivia ==
* While on the cruise-liner after bandaging the bird, there is a brief glimpse of the room on the ship Conan is in. He is staying in room 221-A. 221-B Baker Street was Holmes' apartment in London. This is an obvious homage to the Holmes' series which is referenced in the anime quite frequently.
* This marks the first appearance of Ai Haibara, as Vi Graythorn in the English Dub. Oddly, she was never introduced in the english dub due to Funimation cancelling the dub only a few episodes short of her debut. Weirdly, she appeared in the movie, but for English only viewers, people questioned who she was because she was never introduced before.
* Kaito Kid becomes aware that Conan is Shinichi after he overhears Conan talking to Professor Agasa about Scorpion by tapping the lines to confirm his suspicions about what was going to happen on the ship.
* The balcony encounter between Ayumi and Kaito Kid is reprised by Kid and Sonoko in the canon manga story [[Volume 82#Twin Bets|Twin Bets]] and its [[Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku|TV anime adaptation]].
* In [[Volume 96#File 1018 - Inside of Ice|file 1018]] there were rumors that Kaitou Kid stood on the top of the Tsutenkaku before, but back then Kazuha never saw him with her own eyes. This is an allusion to the movie plot, but it is not canon.
* The English dub script for this movie is noticeably much closer to the original Japanese version, as per Funimation's current dubbing policy. However, the dub names were still changed.
* Nishino Masato drove a blue 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Stretched Limousine O'Gara Coachworks 'VIP' in Osaka.
* ''From Russia With Love'', a TV Special of the anime ''[[Lupin III]]'', is the source of inspiration for this movie.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://togetter.com/li/563746|accessdate=April 05, 2016|publisher=togetter.com|title=コナン好きがみたルパン三世}}</ref>
* While entering the password of the secret pathway at Yokosuka Castle, Sergei typed Kiichi Kousaka in Russian incorrectly. Instead of ''Киичи'', he wrote ''Кииуи'', which is spelled ''Kiiui'' in Latin.
* Shoichi Inui drove a Brilliant red Volvo 850 Estate T-5R.
* The castle is based off the [[Wikipedia: Neuschwanstein Castle|Neuschwanstein Castle]] in Germany.
* Scorpion's weapon is a customized Walther PP with a scope, rail, and laser sights.
* [[Wikipedia: Felix Yusupov|Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov]] shot [[Wikipedia: Grigori Rasputin|Grigori Rasputin]] with a Nagant M1895.
* The four Fabergé eggs shown are the [[Wikipedia: Blue Serpent Clock (Fabergé egg)|Blue Serpent Clock]] (1895), the [[Wikipedia: Basket of Flowers (Fabergé egg)|Basket of Wild Flowers]] (1901), the [[Wikipedia: Swan (Fabergé egg)|Swan]] (1906) and the [[Wikipedia: Mosaic (Fabergé egg)|Mosaic]] (1914).
* The song that the Detective Boys were singing when they met Conan and Inspector Shiratori in the castle was the third opening, [[Nazo]].
* The Suzuki Modern Art Museum in Osaka is the [[wikipedia:National Museum of Art of Osaka|National Museum of Art of Osaka]].
* By the beginning of this movie, the first Kaito Kid has struck 134 times so far: 15 have been overseas, and 12 in different countries.
* Sonoko claimed that she unknowingly played with the Memories Egg when she was small.
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-09-20-18h29m07s88.png|right|thumb|200px|Conan's fortune]]
* When drawing their fortunes, Conan gets "Some Luck", which is pretty vague. However it also included four categories: Exams, Business, Travel, and Illness.
** Exams said, "Do your best, and Leave the rest to fate."
** Business said, "Do not push too hard, but do not get too relaxed either."
** Travel said, "Your secret will be exposed. Give it up."
** Illness said, "Precaution is your best defense."

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
At the beginning, Ran dreams about her mother Eri getting shot. After waking up she immediately calls Eri to ask if she is okay and tells her mother about her dream.

The scene then briefly changes to a scene of a jail, where a man named Jo Murakami holds out a notebook that says, "Beika City, Kogoro Mouri."
[[File:Movie 2-1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi tries Conan's fortune, which is "A chance for an A (kiss)".]]
The scene transitions again to the Detective Boys waiting for Professor Agasa on a bench . While waiting, Ayumi plays with a love oracle, and the machine tells her her and Conan are a perfect match. She then asks the oracle to tell Conan's romantic fortune, which is "A chance for an A (kiss)". Conan wonders just how old that machine is - "A", "B" and so on were very ancient expressions for romantic events. Agasa finally turns up and takes the Detective Boys to the Tohto Aeronautic Memorial Museum.

There are many kinds of helicopters and planes on display at the museum. Agasa wants to ask his traditional riddle to the children, but Mitsuhiko interrupts him and tells everyone he has also got a riddle for them. Mitsuhiko's riddle: Three guys, born on New Year's Day, April Fool's, and Children's Day formed a club. What was their club called? The answer: Tonakai (Reindeer). If you add up their birthdays, they become To-na-kai, a kind of audio-visual pun.
Conan figures out the answer, and they spot the photographer Shishido Eimei taking pictures around the museum.

Back at the Mouri Detective Agency, Jo Murakami is shown knocking on the door. When he gets no answer, he leaves.

Ran and Sonoko attend an autograph session with Minoru Nishina who has written several cookbooks. Ran is a big fan of Nishina's and tells him to keep writing "tasty" books. The girls later go to a café, and Ran tells Sonoko about the fight that caused Kogoro and Eri to separate when she was seven years old. Ran also says they are going to meet up with Eri for dinner at seven o'clock that evening.

Conan comes back home late just as Kogoro is getting ready for their dinner. The TV is on and Katsuyoshi Asashi, the owner of "Aquacrystal", a new entertainment complex, is being interviewed. Ran turns the TV off and tells Conan to hurry up and get changed.

When they meet Eri at the restaurant "La Fleur", she is as sharp as always, correctly guessing that Kogoro would be late because he played mahjong until late the night before. Hiroki Tsuji, a professional golfer and an acquaintance of Kogoro's, also enters the restaurant and Kogoro introduces him to his family. Tsuji explains he is currently training for the US Open.

During dinner, Ran shows a suprising amount of knowledge about wine, explaining to Conan why the sommelier Kohei Sawaki wears a grape badge and what a tastevin is for. Eri and Kogoro realise their daughter has grown up a lot.
Conan enjoys his meal as well. Ran notices he has got some foid in the corner of his mouth, and tries to wipe him off with a napkin. Conan thinks back to the oracle telling him he has "A chance for a kiss" and blushes. Kogoro interrupts them to wipe Conan's mouth off roughly.
Kogoro and Eri get along surprisingly well during dinner. They remember going on a date to the same restaurant ten years earlier and revel in the memory for a bit, when Kogoro suddenly notices Peter Ford, a journalist, near Towako Okano. Kogoro gets jealous, believing Ford is flirting with Okano and Eri angrily gets up and leaves as she has enough of Kogoro's flirting with other women.

A week later, Inspector Megure is shot by an arrow while out for a run.

}}

Kogoro, the Detective Boys, and Ranvisit Megure in the hospital. Shiratori tells them that the arrow was shot from a crossbow, and a western sword was found at the scene.

Eri is at work and her assistant brings her a package with Zigoba chocolates. The brand is Eri's favourite and Kogoro used to give it to her as a present. She therefore believes Kogoro has sent the chocolates, trying to make up with her, eats one, and collapses to the floor. There was poison in the chocolate.

}}

Midori Kuriyama calls for an ambulance and gets Eri to the hospital in time so she survives the poisoning. There is a paper flower on the chocolate box that seems familiar to Conan.

Conan visits Professor Agasa to get his skateboard repaired. Suddenly someone throws a rock through Agasa's front door. Agasa goes to look for the culprit and someone drives by on a motorcycle and shoots at him with a crossbow.

Conan chases after the culprit with his skateboard but loses him at a crossoad. He contacts the Detective Boys with their micro remitter and tells them to keep an eye out for a motorcycle. The children spot the culprit racing past them and quickly tell Conan who gives chase. When the attacker sees Conan, he makes a sudden sharp turn and rides up and down a stairway. Conan tries to follow, but is distracted by an old woman who stumbles on the stairs, and loses sight of the attacker. Back at Agasa's house, Conan finds a mysterious object in the grass, and finally realizes the connection between the sword, the flower, and the strange object, as well as the victims.

[[File:Movie 2-2.jpg|thumb|200px|The sword is held by the King of Spades In addition, Megure's first name, Juzo, can be read as 13.]]
All objects relate to playing cards, with the sword, flower and the odd object being held by the king, queen and jack respectively. Furthermore, Megure's first name Juzo can be read as 13. Eri's last name Kisaki means queen in English and the last character of Agasa's first name Hiroshi, is a combination of the characters for 10 and 1 or 11 in short.

Megure visits Eri, Ran, Kogoro and Conan in hospital to update them on the state of the investigation. The police believe the serial killer might be Jo Murakami, a former card dealer who was just released from prison. Kogoro says he wouldn't be surprised if Murakami was after him, after all it was Kogoro who arrested him ten years earlier. Shiratori wants to tell Ran and Conan all about the case but Megure stops him, saying they now have to focus on preventing the next murder. They believe that Murakami is now after someone among Kogoro's friends or acquaintances whose name contains the word or character for 10. Kogoro is shocked as he realises that he does indeed know "a ten" - Towako Okano, her name contains the word for ten, "to".

The police quickly dispatch two officers to guard Towako's house.

Shiratori is pressured by Ran and Conan and starts to explain the facts of the Murakami case to them. Murakami had just been interrogated at Kogoro's police precinct when Eri arrived at the station with a young Ran, because they wanted to surprise Kogoro and pick him up from work. Murakami was being led to his cell when he saw Eri and tried to escape, taking her hostage in the process.

}}

As part of his police training, Kogoro had been taught never to shoot in a hostage situation, but on that day he did, injuring Eri and causing Murakami to let go of her, leading to his safe arrest and transfer to prison.
This was the case that led Kogoro to quit the police force.
[[File:Movie 2-3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan mentions that although Kogoro did shoot Eri, he questions if that was the whole truth, and hangs up.]]
When Conan calls Ran as Shinichi later, she asks him if he would do the same if Ran was held hostage, even if it meant injuring Ran. Conan says that although Kogoro did shoot Eri, he wonders if that was the whole truth, and hangs up.

At the agency, Conan later remembers another person with "ten" in his name, Hiroki Tsuji. Megure, Kogoro, and Shiratori quickly rush to Tsuji's house along with Ran and Conan. Tsuji was planning to go on a helicopter ride. The police warn him not to leave but he refuses to cancel the trip. He does allow Megure and Kogoro to escort him to Tohto Airport. Conan sneaks onto the helicopter as well.
During the flight, Tsuji suddenly can't keep his eyes open any longer and can't tolerate sunlight.

| description = Somebody replaced Tsuji's eyedrops with a chemical solution that made him unable to keep his eyes open in direct sunlight. Kogoro, Megure and the weakened Tsuji join forces and help Conan to crash-land Tsuji's helicopter at Teitan Elementary.
}}

Conan attempts to land the helicopter at Teitan Elementary. While doing so, he contacts the Detective Boys with their badge, asking them to help evacuate the schoolyard. The helicopter is caught by a downdraft and crashes onto the ground. Tsuji, Kogoro, Megure and Conan just about escape before the helicopter explodes due to gas leaking out.

The investigation reveals that someone replaced Tsuji's eyedrops with mydriatic drops, which caused his pupils to dilate and become light-sensitive. Because the effect of this medicine wear off in ten days to two weeks, Tsuji has to withdraw from the US Open.

The search for the next target, a "number nine", continues. Kogoro says he can't think of anyone but he does know someone with an eight, Kohei Sawaki. Therefore, Megure, Shiratori, Ran, Conan and Kogoro visit Sawaki at home to warn him. He shows them around and presents his large wine collection to them. Conan has a look through Sawaki's apartment and notices a dent in the floor. Sawaki explains he dropped a wine bottle. When asked about his plans for the next couple of days, Sawaki explains that he is supposed to meet Kazuyoshi Asahi in his not-yet-opened complex AquaCrystal to discuss the restaurant Asahi plans to open in the building.

Shiratori suddenly notices that Asahi has a nine in his name.

[[File:Movie 2-4.jpg|thumb|200px|The Aquacrystal]]

Everyone joins Sawaki for his meeting in the AquaCrystal restaurant. To their alarm, '''Nana''' (seven) Osanai, Minoru '''Ni'''shina (two), Eimei '''Shishi'''do and Peter '''Ford''' (his last name sounds like "four") are also waiting to board the monorail to the main building, all claim they have been summoned by Asahi. On the way to the restaurant, they also notice there is a three in Nin'''zabu'''ro Shiratori's name. Ran is anxious when she realises Shin'''ichi''' could also be a target as "ichi" means "one".

Osanai and Nishina get into an argument. Osanai complains that a restaurant that Nishina recommended in his book was actually terrible and that he has no taste at all.
She wants to challenge the critic once they arrive at the restaurant and gets him to taste a wine without looking, making him guess the type of grape. Nishina says it's a Chambertin but is wrong.
As sommelier, Sawaki takes on the challenge as well and correctly detects a Beaujolais Moulin-a-vent.

Everyone decides to get something to drink while they wait for Asahi to join them. Conan gets a box of juice for Ran and is surprised to see Kogoro help himself to a juice as well.
When Conan goes back to the storeroom, he notices Sawaki with chili powder on his hand, apparently trying to taste it.

The guests decide to explore the spacious wine cellar belonging to the restaurant. While they look for a wine, Sawaki narrowly avoids getting shot by an arrow, a trap with Eight of Spades apparently set by Jo Murakami.

The police worry that Asahi might already be dead.

As the guests go back upstairs to the restaurant and prepare to leave, Asahi's dead body suddenly floats past them in the fish tank. Nana yells out in panic.
Asahi has a Nine of Spades on his chest.

Kogoro decides to tell everyone about the ongoing investigation, saying he fears Jo Murakami, who has recently been released from prison, might target all of them.

}}

Conan notices Nana behaving strangely when Kogoro tells them about Murakami and asks her about it.
Dejected, Nana reveals that she caused a serious accident three months ago. She was driving recklessly, as usual, and hit a motorcycle whose driver suffered serious injuries.
Panicking, she fled the scene before the emergency services and the police arrived.

The group heads for the emergency exit, which, to their dismay, has been blocked with cement. They decide to spread out to look for alternative exits and leave Nana with Ran and Conan in the restaurant. Conan wants to sneak off to help look for the emergency exit but Ran catches him. There is a sudden blackout which makes Nana panic. Conan notices a pink light and realizes her nail polish is actually fluorescent paint.

The power comes back on and Nana lies dead on the ground. She has been stabbed. Conan immediately notices something unusual. On her body there are two playing cards- the seven and the Joker of Spades, the culprit must be right-handed according to the handprint on Nana's back and the wine cork Nana had been playing with is missing.

}}

Conan sees the handprint on Nana's back and realises it has been left by someone who is right-handed.
This effectively excludes Jo Murakami who is left-handed.

Conan goes to get everyone something to drink from the storage and hands them glasses with mineral water. While watching them, he realises who actually committed the murders.
Just as he does so, a bomb causes the lights to shut down once again and a second bomb breaks the fish tank, causing the restaurant to flood.

Everyone swims for their lives. Kogoro has to save Nishina who can't swim.

They eventually make it to a helicopter launchpad and Conan, terrified, realises Ran is missing.

}}

Ran's feet got caught in the wheels of a car that was left in the restaurant. Conan swims back and dives to help her out but gets stuck as well. He falls unconscious but Ran helps him by giving him oxygen in form of a kiss before she passes out as well. Conan uses his elastic suspenders to move the car and helps Ran back to the surface. Sawaki Point to the floating Two to Six of Spades.

[[File:Movie 2-6.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan knocks out Kogoro and starts his deduction.]]

Sawaki tries to resuscitate Nishina but Shiratori blocks him and gives Nishina CPR instead.

Conan hits Kogoro with his stun-watch and presents his deductions.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan explains that the murderer must be right-handed because of the handprint left on Nana's back. This means Murakami can't be the serial killer, he is left-handed.

The actual serial killer is '''Kohei Sawaki'''.

Sawaki suffers from aguesia, a neurological disorder that takes someone's sense of taste away completely. Conan explains he first became suspicious when he saw Sawaki tasting chili powder, something a sommelier who relies on his good sense of taste would never do. To prove his theory, he slipped salt into Sawaki's glass when he brought everyone glasses of mineral water and knew he was right when Sawaki didn't react after he drank. Nana also managed to slip the cork that she drew on in Sawaki's pocket when he stabbed her, Conan throw 5 Cards of Spades (2-6♠️) to Sawaki as well as the Ace of Spades (A♠️) that stands for Shinichi.

Sawaki confesses. He explains Nana was responsible for the accident that caused his incurable condition and that he also wanted to take revenge on Tsuji, Asahi and Nishina. Tsuji requested Sawaki's services for a party and proceeded to make fun of him and belittle him in front of his guests, Asahi had priceless wines in his collection and had no idea how to take care of them and Nishina claimed to be an expert in wines but, according to Sawaki, everything he wrote in his books about wines was entirely wrong.

Sawaki says only those four were his actual targets, he attacked everyone else because he wanted to frame Jo Murakami for the murders. He set a trap for himself in the wine cellar to further remove suspicion. The bombs were planted to kill Nishina by drowning as Sawaki knew Nishina couldn't swim and he hoped to kill everyone else in the flooded restaurant should they not make it back to shore as well. He had the idea to frame Murakami when he accidentally ran into the former convict in front of Kogoro's detective agency. Murakami explained he wanted to apologise to Kogoro for his crimes and especially for taking Eri hostage. Sawaki saw a cheap scapegoat, invited Murakami to his home, got him drunk and strangled him.

[[File:Movie 2-7.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan about to shoot.]]
Shiratori corners Sawaki and points his gun at him. Conan notices his hands are shaking and worries that Shiratori might accidentally hit Ran if he shoots with unsteady hands. Shiratori drops his gun and confers with Megure, preparing to take Sawaki down. Sawaki notices and demands Conan bring the gun to him. As Conan walks up to Sawaki, he finally realises why Kogoro ended up injuring Eri ten years ago. An injured hostage is a burden for the kidnapper and he wanted to make Murakami let go of her. Conan decides to do the same, firing the gun and lightly grazing Ran's shoulder. Sawaki lets go of her and Ran faints from hypothermia and exhaustion. Kogoro takes Sawaki down and helps Conan stop Ran from sliding down the rooftop. Sawaki wants to kill himself but Kogoro stops him, saying he has to face the consequences of his crimes.

A rescue helicopter arrives and takes everyone back to shore. Kogoro suddenly remembers he is scared of heights when they are up in the air.

Ran is sent to hospital to be treated for hypothermia. She keeps holding on to the Ace of Spades, saying "Shinichi protected me".

When she recovers, Conan and Ran go to visit Eri and Ran tells her mother she now knows why she separated from Kogoro.
Eri says that is only half of the story. Kogoro and she went home after her wound was treated and Eri started preparing dinner for her family.
Kogoro, in his "charming" way, wanted to tell her to take it easy and rest, but what he actually said is "I won't be able to eat anything, your cooking is disgusting."
Eri was furious, packed up her things and left her husband that same night.

Ran and Conan share a sheepish grin. They both know Eri is anything but a good cook.</spoiler>

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Daizo Kurokawa, a wealthy heart surgeon, was murdered in his own home, hit over the head with a statue. He left a dying message, grabbing the keys of his computer keyboard: JUN.

{{InfoBox Crime

| description = While the victim sat at his computer, the culprit snuck up behind and hit him over the head with a statue.
}}

[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], wrongly of course, deduces that the dying message pointed to the victim's second wife Mina, saying that "JUN" means June and since June is also called "minazuki" or dry month and Mina was born in June, he wanted to leave a hint that he was murdered by his own wife. Mina is furious. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] hits Kogoro with his stun-wristwatch and begins explaining the actual facts of the case to the police and the three suspects.

<spoiler>
[[File:Movie1a.jpg|thumb|200px|The culprit hits over Daizo's head.]]
[[File:Movie1b.jpg|thumb|200px|Daizo is making the message "Ma-Na-Mi".]]
The actual murderer was '''Manami Nagazawa''', the housekeeper of the Kurokawa family. The message wasn't supposed to be "JUN" because the computer keyboard was set to romaji instead of hiragana when the dying victim typed out his message. Switched to hiragana, the message reads "Ma-Na-Mi". Conan also makes Manami show everyone a bloodstain on her sock and she confesses. Her motive was revenge for her late husband, who died after a heart surgery performed by Daizo while he was drunk last year. Manami says she tried to find witnesses that Daizo got drunk before the surgery, but his colleagues were too scared to come forward. So, she decided to work for Daizo as a housekeeper and planned her revenge for this day, the first anniversary of her husband's death.</spoiler>

[[File:Movie1c.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan finds an unusual letter in his mail, an invitation to a party addressed to Shinichi.]]
Then, Conan goes to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house, Conan looks through his mail and finds an unusual-looking letter adressed to [[Shinichi Kudo]], inviting Shinichi to a party.
The letter was sent by famous architect Teiji Moriya. Conan decides to call [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and tells her about the invitation, asking her to go to the party in his stead because he is "too busy with his case" and that Kogoro and "that boy who lives with you" can join her as well.

Ran accepts, under the condition that Shinichi joins her for a movie the following Saturday. Conan, horrified, tries to get her to agree to a later date but she insists it has to be on Saturday, May 3. She also asks "Shinichi" if he prefers red or blue. Conan, confused, replies red is his favourite colour and says goodbye to Ran. He has no idea why Ran insists on meeting Shinichi on May 3. On the way home, he meets [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] who introduces him to another constable working in his department, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].

At home, Ran tells Conan and Kogoro that she is going on a date with Shinichi on May 3. She wants to take Shinichi to a late showing at the cinema and, at midnight, surprise him with a red polo shirt because he said red was his favourite colour. Conan suddenly remembers that Shinichi birthday is on May 4. Ran also explains about the tea party invitation and Kogoro isn't exactly enthusiastic about going, so Conan comes up with a trick to convince him.

[[File:Movie1d.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro is pondering Moriya's quiz.]]
On April 29, Kogoro, Ran and Conan attend the tea party at Teiji Moriya's house and explain that Shinichi couldn't make it, but Kogoro came instead, delighting their host at having "another famous detective" as his guest. Moriya greets his guests and gives them a riddle, telling everyone that whoever solves it first gets a private tour of his gallery, with the photos of fourteen works. Conan quickly figures it out and Moriya takes him and Ran upstairs. They chat with the famous architect and Ran says that she is going on a date with Shinichi and they will go watch a film in a building designed by Moriya.

The following day, Ran goes shopping and Conan meets Professor Agasa, asking for his help because he has no idea what to do about his date with Ran. Agasa's TV is on and they watch the news. Someone stole a large quantity of octane from a plant, a gas used to make plastic explosives.

Worried, Agasa switches the TV off and his phone rings suddenly. Someone using a voice changing device asks for Shinichi so Agasa hands his phone over. The unknown caller explains that he is the one who stole the octane and asks for Shinichi's phone number. Conan gives it to him and the man tells him "go to Greenbelt Park or the kids will die."

Conan hurries to Greenbelt Park and sees his friends [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] playing with a remote controlled plane. Mitsuhiko explains to Conan that a strange man with a beard offered the plane to them. Conan has a closer look and notices that there is a bomb attached to the plane, telling Ayumi to let go of it immediately. Ayumi drops the toy and the antenna on top of the plane breaks, causing it to begin flying around uncontrollably. Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] and kicks the controller into the plane, blowing it up.

Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko escape in time. When Conan looks at the flames created by the exploding plane, he realises that the bomb was actually filled with plastic explosives and that this was a serious incident.

As he goes home, his phone rings again and someone says there is going to be another bomb waiting for him.

Conan locates the second bomb and only just about gets it to a deserted place before it blows up. He is knocked back by the blast and hits a tree, falling unconscious.

Conan wakes up in hospital. Agasa says the culprit could have a grudge to settle with Shinichi and Megure agrees. They try to remember Shinichi's most famous cases to see if that provides any hint to the bomber's identity. Megure recalls a past case that was solved by Shinichi.

Shinichi was called by Megure to help investigations.

There has been another bomb threat, this time somehow related to the train system. The threat carried another cryptic hint, "X the XX".

}}

Conan figures out the hint- the bombs are located "between" the "rail tracks" ("X" the "XX") based on the bomber's other hints to keep the trains going above 60 km/h and that the bombs would explode at sunset. They realise the bombs are using solar power to reset their timers. As sunset approaches, the police help navigate the trains off the tracks and are able to safely recover all five bombs.

Megure and Shiratori, together with Conan and Kogoro, go to question Moriya.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan figures out that the famous architect '''Teiji Moriya''' has been the bomber all along. He was driven to this due to his obsession with symmetry. His plan was to blow up his older, less symmetrical works (Kurokawa, Mizushima, Yasuda, and Akutsu buildings, and Sumida canal bridge) and replace them with symmetrical structures (all of the bomb targets were either at or near buildings he designed). His hatred for Shinichi is due to the fact that, because of him, Mayor Okamoto (who supported his "Perfect Nishitama City") was arrested, and his building plan was stopped. With his crimes exposed, Moriya attempts to detonate the bombs inside his house, but is stopped when Conan reveals that he removed the batteries earlier when he planted some fake evidence (Moriya's disguise outfits) to lure him into spilling the beans. However, Moriya taunts the group that he has "one more" place that he wants to destroy.

[[File:Movie1g.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the bomb.]]
Several bombs are revealed to be in the mall where Ran is. They explode and many civilians get trapped in the building. Conan (who enters the building after the first explosion) contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the last and largest bomb. Ran finds the box with the bomb. Conan, who is now separated from Ran by a damaged door, guides her through cutting various wires using plans left by Moriya. Ran is down to two wires, a red one and a blue one. The plans do not include any instructions regarding these two wires. If the wrong one is cut, it would result in the bomb detonating.

Conan loses hope, since this means that there's almost no way to keep the bomb from exploding, and tells Ran to do as she likes, since they are going to die together at this rate. Conan is then found by rescue workers and taken out of the building while realizing then the red wire is booby-trapped. However, Ran can no longer hear Conan's instructions, so he believes her to be in trouble. To his surprise, Ran cuts the "blue wire" and saves everyone. While Kogoro has all credit with the press for the resolution, since Shinichi has of course requested to not reveal his involvement and then he left to believe the culprit's target was Ran's father, Conan asks Ran why she didn't cut the red wire (her lucky color). She replies that she didn't cut because she didn't want to sever the red string of fate between her and Shinichi.

The movie ends with Conan remarking that there is no "red string", and mentions that it's because "it's no use... as long as I'm Conan".</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Daizo Kurokawa - Magnum Cornhouser
:* Mina Kurokawa - Mina Cornhouser
:* Daisuke Kurokawa - Mortimer Cornhouser
:* Manami Nakazawa - Manami Goodsbe
:* Teiji Moriya - Leo Joel
* In the English Dub, the name of Manami's husband is Kevin. He was not named in the original version.
* In the English Dub, neither Kohei Okamoto or Mayor Okamoto are addressed by their name.
* Teiji Moriya is said to be from the UK, specifically England in the Funimation dub, and speaks with a British accent.

== Trivia ==
* According to ''[[Wikipedia: Red thread of fate|The Legend of Red Thread]]'' poster, the movie's original author is Issei Shinnai and it is directed by Shunzo Kano while starring [[Minami Takayama|Sansei Takayama]] and [[Wakana Yamazaki|Wakkanai Yamazaki]].
* In the flashback scene, Kohei Okamoto and his father drive a 1996 silver Toyota Crown Majesta S150. The license plate number is 新宿 33, す 32-59 (Shinjuku 33, Su 32-59).
* The TR Beika Line in real-life is [[Wikipedia: Yamanote Line|JR Yamanote Line]] and the JR Tokyo inspired from [[Wikipedia: 205 series|JR Yamanote Line 205-0 series set 30]].
* The scene with the bombs on the city loop line, which involves the trains needing to go over 60 kmph, is a reference to the action thriller movie ''Speed'', starring Keanu Reeves, in which a bus has a bomb placed on board that will detonate should the speed of the bus drop below 60 mph. Agasa even mentions that a speed detector could be related to the detonator, which is a direct and clear reference to that film.
* First visible proof of Conan having a phone for just Shinichi, which is probably different from Conan's phone, although this is not canon.
* The name of Moriya Teiji is a pun on the name of Sherlock Holmes' antagonist [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]] if written as "Moriarty J."
* Beika City Building is modeled after the [[Wikipedia: Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building|Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building]], the Mizushima Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Nymphenburg Palace|Nymphenburg Palace]], the Yasuda Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Johnston–Felton–Hay House|Johnston-Felton-Hay House]], and the Akutsu Mansion after [[Wikipedia: Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District|Glen Auburn]].
* This movie features voice actors that do not normally perform voice acting. Yomiuri TV announcer [[wikipedia:ja:野村明大|Meidai Nomura]] voices announcer Satoshi Yokoyama, and Shuji Kawatani and Hiroyuki Kohori of comedy duo [[wikipedia:ja:2丁拳銃|2-cho Kenju]] voice train passengers.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
In a skyscraper in Manhattan, an auction house presents the stand-out piece of the night's auction: one of the famous 'Sunflower' paintings by Vincent Van Gogh. The painting belongs to a series painted by Van Gogh, an artist beloved by Japan, in his house in Arles in the south of France. Until recently, art historians believed there were seven sunflower paintings but only a year ago, an unknown eighth painting was discovered in Arles, with the style and colours being an exact match for the second Sunflower painting that was once kept in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Historians have examined this new painting and concluded that it must have been painted by Van Gogh himself or, at least, by someone working with him. The second Sunflower painting used to belong to Koyata Yamamoto, a businessman, but was thought to have been destroyed in World War II, so the current theory is that this newly discovered painting could be a reproduction of the lost one. The painting draws considerable interest and at the subsequent auction, [[Jirokichi Suzuki]] buys it for a record price.

Jirokichi holds a press conference the day after the auction and announces that he plans to collect all seven Sunflower paintings to hold an exhibition in Lake Rock Museum, Shinjuku, a newly constructed museum that belongs to the Suzuki Group. He says the title of the exhibition will be "the sunflowers who longed to return to Japan." He already has made contact with the owners of the other six paintings and obtained their permission to get the paintings on loan, having to promise he would transport and preserve the paintings safely and treat them with the utmost care and security while they are in his museum. To help him with this task, Jirokichi presents seven experts that he hired for the exhibition, calling them "the Seven Samurai". As the experts join him on stage, suddenly a playing card comes flying through the sky and falls onto the stage. The card carries an announcement and [[Kaito Kid]]'s logo. Kid appears, holds his card gun out and causes a mass panic. He throws a smoke bomb and flees, but Detective Charlie, one of Jirokichi's "samurai", a security professional, pursues him. Kid is backed into a corner by Charlie, but lets off a flash bomb, breaks the window behind him and jumps off the building, flying away with his hangglider.

The following morning, a Sky Japan plane hired by Jirokichi and painted with the Sunflowers leaves for Japan, carrying the newest painting on board, along with Jirokichi, [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] and six of the "samurai" as well as a special guest - none other than: [[Shinichi Kudo]]. But just as the jet descends towards Haneda Airport, a bomb detonates in the cargo hold, blowing the door away and taking the painting with it. The explosion was large enough to destroy the engines as well and the airplane goes into freefall, causing a panic onboard. Kogoro, the 7th Samurai chosen by Jirokichi, has been waiting at Haneda Airport to receive the painting along with the police and Ran, wanting to surprise Sonoko. They can only watch the plane spinning out of control and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], scared for her best friend, panics and can't bear look while the frantic pilot tries to land safely. They do make it down in one piece, but, just after they've touched the ground, received by emergency services, Kaito Kid comes flying out of nowhere with the paining in hand. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] chases after Kid but can't catch him. Strangely enough, Kid flies off without the painting. Conan finds it, brings it to Jirokichi's Samurai and they confirm that the painting hasn't been damaged.

Several days later, Jirokichi invites the Seven Samurai to a conference to plan what counter-measures they can take against Kid. The owners of the other paintings had also become reluctant in loaning him their paintings. That morning, Conan, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], and the [[Detective Boys]] head to the Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Museum of Art, to see the 5th painting. Just after Conan leaves, Kogoro receives another notice from Kid. The Samurai decode it and find that the notice states that he will steal the 5th painting tonight. Conan, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], and the others are viewing the 5th painting together with an old woman named Umeno, said to visit and view the painting every day, when Jirokichi, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]], and the others arrive. Conan quickly realizes a case is unfolding and joins up with them. They decide that they should move the painting to a safe place before night comes, and the painting is to be wrapped up under the instructions of the Seven Samurai. However, Kid had already infiltrated the staff, and steals the painting.

He also leaves behind a message to the museum's curator, saying he will return it if paid ten billion yen. Jirokichi immediately decides to pay the enormous ransom. The deal with Kid turns into chaos, however Conan and the others miraculously succeed in retrieving the 5th painting. However, even Conan begins to wonder about Kid's escalating crimes which have come to endanger many lives.

With Kid's motives as yet a mystery, the exhibition of the Seven Sunflowers at Lake Rock Museum meets its opening day. The most excited to see the exhibition are the Detective Boys, Conan, Ran, and Sonoko. Just as they begin to view the paintings, Conan spots a Kid Card. The enigmatic message could not be deciphered by even the Seven Samurai, but its presence attests that Kid is already within the museum. Jirokichi quickly orders to evacuate the museum goers and staff, to trap Kid inside the museum. However, he seems to have anticipated this turn of events, and blows up the electric room, leaving the museum in a blackout.

Then, a great fire also breaks out, leaving Jirokichi and the others no option but to send the paintings to their storage room, and evacuate to a special room outside. But, the 2nd and 5th painting could not be collected, and the inferno closes in on them. The only people remaining in Lake Rock Museum are a great detective, a great phantom thief, and...?!

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit isn't Kaitou Kid and was only counterfeiting Kid's cards. The card that Kid left earlier implies that there is a traitor among the people that Jirokichi invited. After some investigating, Ginzo Nakamori believes that the traitor is '''Koji Azuma''', the one who killed his twin brother half a year ago in Arles.

To save the last painting in the burning room, Conan and Kid head for the room. Each painting had a safety mechanism so that the paintings would be transported to a safe room but for one of the paintings the mechanism got stuck and was left to burn. Conan and Kid, who is disguised as Shinichi, are helpless until Ran breaks the wall that had the painting stuck on the wall. The painting comes off and falls through the tunnel in the wall but due to this impact, the roof on top of them starts to collapse, leaving Ran unconscious and start falling down the open wall. Both Conan and Kid falls in as well and they find themselves trapped. Kid gets out of the Shinichi costume and goes to check for another exit as the vault doors are sealed. Kid did all of those things because he realised that the paintings were in danger from someone wanting to destroy them.

Conan calls everyone as Shinichi and starts the deduction show: the traitor/culprit is not Koji Azuma like everyone believes, but rather '''Natsumi Miyadai''', who - in a misguided affection for van Gogh - tried to stop the exhibition or destroy the Ashiya painting, which she perceives as a fake with an unrightful place among the 'real' van Goghs. The proof for her involvement was her suggestion to decorate the gallery walkway with sunflowers, to use them as incendiary material for the fire. Kaitou Kid attempted to work against Miyadai's scheme after she anonymously attempted to hire him to steal the painting. This was also a personal matter for Kid because his confidant and assistant, [[Konosuke Jii|Jii]], had in his youth worked in the mansion where the painting was kept and thought to be destroyed, and where he witnessed Kiyosuke Azuma rescuing it at the cost of his own life, thereby incidentally proving that it is the real painting instead of a replication.

Once Conan finishes his deduction, Kid swoops down with his hang glider to save the falling Conan and unconscious Ran. He successfully catches Ran but misses Conan, who keeps on falling. Kaitou Kid escapes the collapse and leaves Ran in the forest at the lake's shore, where she is found by Kogoro and the others. When she wakes up, nobody knows where Conan is. It suddenly hits her that Conan's still in the building.

In the building, Conan saves himself with the suspenders from hitting the ground. But because the cliff that had the building on top of it collapses and drops underwater, the room fills up with water fast. He tries to push the painting out of the way but cannot move it. At last, the room is filled up and Conan held his breath underwater. He thinks of a way to save himself and the heavy painting when he suddenly remembers the firework ball belt. He uses that as a force to push him and the painting to the surface. He is close to the surface when he runs out of breath and as a last ditch effort, he inflates a second ball to float him to the surface. When he gets to the surface, Kogoro retrieves Conan from the water. In the meantime, Inspector Charlie manages to get Kid in his sights, but he has come to realize that Kid, despite his profession as a master thief, is very much an honorable person. Thus, the two opponents part with a new-found respect for each other.

At the end of the movie, it is revealed that Agasa's ticket was stolen by Kaito Kid so he was able to go inside Jirokichi's exhibition of the painting.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* The movie grossed 4.48 billion yen.
* Koji Azuma's car in Arles is a 1980 gray Peugeot 505 [551A].
* This film is dedicated to Yasuo Uragami, the real-life sound director of Detective Conan, who died on December 18, 2014. A title card reads "In memory of Yasuo Uragami" appears during the end credits of the film.
* The special guest voice actor for this movie is actress and model [[Wikipedia: Nana Eikura| Nana Eikura]] portraying Natsumi Miyadai.
* The end credits featured scenes from New York (including [[Wikipedia: Statue of Liberty|Statue of Liberty]] and [[Wikipedia: Times Square|Times Square]]), the city of [[Wikipedia: Arles|Arles]], and real-life [[Wikipedia: Sunflowers (Van Gogh series)|Vincent Van Gogh's "Sunflowers"]].
* The film setting in 2015, and indeed Umeno tells to Haibara that it is seventy years from 1945. However, this is an outrageous mistake, because Jii is now 61-year-old.
<spoiler>
* At least, for a time, Jii disguised himself as Zengo Goto, Jirokichi Suzuki's bodyguard. It remains unclear if Kid used the same disguise in between.
* During the scene where the culprit (as a [["The Criminal"|black figure]]) is shown blowing up the electric room, the watchers can already tell who that is from his/her walkie-talkie earpiece. Among the Seven Samurais, who are using those for communication, only Natsumi Miyadai has her earpiece on the left ear like the culprit. Furthermore, it is also her the laptop with five sunflower paintings drawings and the word "Vincent", where Jii discovers the phosphine used by the culprit, while Kishi's doesn't have it.
* When Zengo Goto escaped the monitor room with Conan, the monitors showed that all first, second, fifth and seventh Sunflowers paintings were not successfully secured, while actually, like in Conan's flashback later, it should only be the second and fifth paintings because of some objects preventing the mechanism from working.</spoiler>

{{nihongo|'''Eri Kisaki'''|妃英理|Kisaki Eri}}, known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the English Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Her real name is '''{{nihongo|Eri Mouri|毛利英理|Mōri Eri}}'''. She began to use her maiden name again after she began living separately from her husband [[Kogoro Mouri]]. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. In a recent hospitalization, her name was displayed as "Eri Mouri" on the door. She has one daughter, [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Eri and her childhood friend, Yukiko Kudo.]]
The separately-living wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a defense lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.

Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref>

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

== Personality ==
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Eri's pet cat, Goro, whom she named after Kogoro.]]
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee/><ref name=LoveOf>[[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike/> Even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee/>

Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She is also tactical and has high moral ground, generally avoids accepting requests from people with clear criminal act<ref name=client>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> unless she believes that there is something behind the scene or the request is related to the case she and/or Kogoro are investigating in.

She has a cat, a [[Wikipedia: Russian Blue|Russian Blue]] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf/> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].

Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half-jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee/> In chapter 985, it's revealed Lawyers like Eri use Western-style comma (,).

Eri is shown to care for those she knows and loves, like in movie 4, she came and stayed with Kogoro, because Ran had amnesia. In episode 474, she worried about her cat goro so much that she cried. She said she doesn't care about Kogoro. But in reality, however, she still loves him and said if he wouldn't flirt, she would return. In an episode, she pretended to not hear him because she isn't ready.

== Appearance ==
Eri is a fairly tall and light-skinned woman. She has long and wavy brown hair reaching her lower-back with shorter bangs framing the sides of her face, most of which she usually keeps done up in a bun. Slender yet very curvaceous in built, she is shown to be very beautiful and admired by most men, using her wedding ring despite the separation as a deterrent to would-be suiters (while secretly also because she still loves Korogo). She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Yukiko Kudo. She wears simple black glasses and is commonly seen wearing business suits.
{{clear}}

==Abilities==
===Intelligence===
Eri is highly intelligent and skilled at solving cases, as in her first appearance she was able to find out the identity of the culprit and how culprit did it. In other cases she was able to find clues faster than Conan and give it to the officer in charge. With her sharp eye for details, she has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.<ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect />

===Martial arts===
Eri has advanced skilled at judo, being taught by her Kogoro. Her normal technique is ippon seoi-nage (one-arm shoulder throw) which she uses when facing criminals. She is shown to be fast and precise in her performance, able to quickly react to assailants much bigger than her and just as easily counter their attacks.

===Other skills===
She is considered to be a skilled lawyer, while Ran considers her best. In movie 2, she was said to be horrible at cooking and Gosho Aoyama said in super digest book that her bad cooking is also part of canon. She is revealed to be a talented knitter, having made several sweaters for her family.

==== Eri's father ====
[[File:Eris father.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Eri speaking to Eri's father.]]
Eri's father has only been mentioned once, but it's noted that he cares a lot for his daughter and is very overprotective.
{{clear}}

==== [[Kogoro Mouri]] ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:Kogoro and Eri.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Eri.]]
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both, wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref>

[[File:Eri Kisaki hair down.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Eri with her hair down while getting a hair cut.]]

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

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

==== [[Ran Mouri]] ====
Despite having a rocky relationship with Kogoro, Eri continues to have a very loving and nurturing relationship with their only daughter. Ran has been trying to get her parents back together ever since they started living separately when she was 6 years old<ref name=The Two Mysteries>Manga Volume 11: Files 107 (The Two Mysteries)</ref>. When they can find the time, Eri and Ran like to meet up so they can catch up on what's been happening in each other's lives and during those moments together Ran tries to convince her mother to come back home to live with them as a family again<ref name=Coffee Shop Case>Manga Volume 11: Files 105-107 (Coffee Shop Case)</ref>. Ran was determined to save Eri from her kidnappers in [[Lawyer Kisaki's SOS]].

==== [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]] ====
Shinichi/Conan and Eri share a somewhat equal level of intelligence when analysing crime scenes. Eri's deducing skills were more notable in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where she was able to submit a string and a piece of metal before Conan could bring it to Inspector Yamamura's attention. She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).

On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime since he hasn't met her for ten years.

==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri, a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote.

=== Rival ===
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====
Reiko Kujo is a prosecutor and rival of Eri Kisaki. They compete in several anime-only episodes called variations of "Courtroom Confrontation".

{{nihongo|'''Eri Kisaki'''|妃英理|Kisaki Eri}}, known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the English Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Her real name is '''{{nihongo|Eri Mouri|毛利英理|Mōri Eri}}'''. She began to use her maiden name again after she began living separately from her husband [[Kogoro Mouri]]. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. In a recent hospitalization, her name was displayed as "Eri Mouri" on the door. She has one daughter, [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Eri and her childhood friend, Yukiko Kudo.]]
The separately-living wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a defense lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.

Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref>

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

== Personality ==
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Eri's pet cat, Goro, whom she named after Kogoro.]]
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee/><ref name=LoveOf>[[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike/> Even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee/>

Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She is also tactical and has high moral ground, generally avoids accepting requests from people with clear criminal act<ref name=client>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> unless she believes that there is something behind the scene or the request is related to the case she and/or Kogoro are investigating in.

She has a cat, a [[Wikipedia: Russian Blue|Russian Blue]] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf/> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].

Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half-jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee/> In chapter 985, it's revealed Lawyers like Eri use Western-style comma (,).

Eri is shown to care for those she knows and loves, like in movie 4, she came and stayed with Kogoro, because Ran had amnesia. In episode 474, she worried about her cat goro so much that she cried. She said she doesn't care about Kogoro. But in reality, however, she still loves him and said if he wouldn't flirt, she would return. In an episode, she pretended to not hear him because she isn't ready.

== Appearance ==
Eri is a fairly tall and light-skinned woman. She has long and wavy brown hair reaching her lower-back with shorter bangs framing the sides of her face, most of which she usually keeps done up in a bun. Slender yet very curvaceous in built, she is shown to be very beautiful and admired by most men, using her wedding ring despite the separation as a deterrent to would-be suiters (while secretly also because she still loves Korogo). She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Yukiko Kudo. She wears simple black glasses and is commonly seen wearing business suits.
{{clear}}

==Abilities==
===Intelligence===
Eri is highly intelligent and skilled at solving cases, as in her first appearance she was able to find out the identity of the culprit and how culprit did it. In other cases she was able to find clues faster than Conan and give it to the officer in charge. With her sharp eye for details, she has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.<ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect />

===Martial arts===
Eri has advanced skilled at judo, being taught by her Kogoro. Her normal technique is ippon seoi-nage (one-arm shoulder throw) which she uses when facing criminals. She is shown to be fast and precise in her performance, able to quickly react to assailants much bigger than her and just as easily counter their attacks.

===Other skills===
She is considered to be a skilled lawyer, while Ran considers her best. In movie 2, she was said to be horrible at cooking and Gosho Aoyama said in super digest book that her bad cooking is also part of canon. She is revealed to be a talented knitter, having made several sweaters for her family.

==== [[Kogoro Mouri]] ====

[[File:Kogoro and Eri.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Eri.]]
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both, wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective!

[[File:Eri Kisaki hair down.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Eri with her hair down while getting a hair cut.]]

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

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

==== [[Ran Mouri]] ====
Despite having a rocky relationship with Kogoro, Eri continues to have a very loving and nurturing relationship with their only daughter. Ran has been trying to get her parents back together ever since they started living separately when she was 6 years old<ref name=The Two Mysteries>Manga Volume 11: Files 107 (The Two Mysteries)</ref>. When they can find the time, Eri and Ran like to meet up so they can catch up on what's been happening in each other's lives and during those moments together Ran tries to convince her mother to come back home to live with them as a family again<ref name=Coffee Shop Case>Manga Volume 11: Files 105-107 (Coffee Shop Case)</ref>. Ran was determined to save Eri from her kidnappers in [[Lawyer Kisaki's SOS]].

==== [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]] ====
Shinichi/Conan and Eri share a somewhat equal level of intelligence when analysing crime scenes. Eri's deducing skills were more notable in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where she was able to submit a string and a piece of metal before Conan could bring it to Inspector Yamamura's attention. She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).

On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime since he hasn't met her for ten years.

==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri, a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote.

=== Rival ===
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====
Reiko Kujo is a prosecutor and rival of Eri Kisaki. They compete in several anime-only episodes called variations of "Courtroom Confrontation".

'''{{nihongo|Sumiko Kobayashi|小林澄子|Kobayashi Sumiko}}''', also known as '''Liz Faulkner''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the homeroom teacher of [[Conan Edogawa]] and the girlfriend of [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]]. She is also the self-appointed, and somewhat unwelcome, "manager" of the [[Detective Boys]].

== Background ==
Sumiko Kobayashi attended [[Teitan Elementary School|Teitan Elementary]] and was in the 18th graduating class, two classes above [[Kazunobu Chiba]]. She became the new class teacher of [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]] after [[Toya]], their previous teacher, had married and retired. Her harsh behavior towards her charges had earned her the nickname "oni-baba" (hag) amongst her students.

One night, the Detective Boys came into the school to investigate strange occurrences involving busts from art class and an anatomy model from the sick room, which had been mysteriously moved around, and the unexplained absence of the vice principal. The busts and the model had actually been used by Sumiko for a rehearsal for the next parent-teacher conference. Sumiko is in fact very fond of children, but her kindness had caused her to have very little control over her class at her previous school, resulting in a disastrous parent-teacher conference. To fix this, she had forced herself to be strict and harsh when she transferred to Teitan Elementary, but after the Detective Boys discovered her nicer side, she decided to be herself again and has become very popular with her students ever since.<ref>Manga Chapter 155: Is Someone There?</ref> She is the one who introduced [[Ai Haibara]].

On one occasion, she accompanied Conan and the Detective Boys to an interview which became a murder investigation as they found the reporter slain. After witnessing Conan in action, she announced her desire to join the Detective Boys and become their manager, a decision which was immediately vetoed<ref>Manga Chapter 517: The Detective Boys</ref> and is commonly neglected in the field.<ref>Manga Chapter 691: Conan vs. The Detective Boys</ref>

As it turned out later, when Sumiko was still a small child, she had confronted two no-good juveniles attempting to steal mangas from a bookshop. When the culprits contemptuously shoved her aside, a young boy intervened on her behalf, cooly citing a paragraph from Japanese law concerning theft. As a sign of gratitude, Sumiko bought her rescuer a drink ornamented with a circle of sakura flowers made from the straw wrapper, as a symbol of goodness and justice (referring to the sakura shaped Japanese police badges). It would not be until many years later that she would encounter him again as a member of the police force, under the name of [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].<ref>Manga Chapters 687-689: Sakura Girl Case</ref>

Shiratori recognized Sumiko on first sight, and it turned out he had held deep feelings for her all these years. However, he wanted to win properly Sumiko's affection first and then tell her about what he viewed as the hand of fate, so he kept silent about their first encounter and banned the Detective Kids from helping him in any way. This scheme backfired when she found out that she had a dead lookalike in the police department whom Shiratori had once pursued romantically, unbeknownst to her, that was because Shiratori mistook her for Sumiko.

Thinking that Shiratori considered her a mere replacement for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]], Sumiko was understandably hurt and started distancing herself from him, even after Shiratori personally explained their common past to her - a move which came at a bad time, because she had become an unwitting (and the sole) witness to a murder and the murderer would therefore try everything to silence her. And for worse, Sumiko's own memories of their encounter were much more vague than Shiratori's own. so she thought Sato was his "girl of destiny".<ref>Manga Chapters 707: The Sakura Girl is...?</ref> When the culprit was apprehended and Shiratori subdued him with words, Sumiko did indeed remember Shiratori as her childhood savior/friend, and the relationship was reaffirmed.<ref>Manga Chapters 708: The Sakura in Full Bloom</ref>

== Personality ==
Sumiko is very kind and fond of children, considering them the most wonderful thing in the world. Sumiko is also quite timid and sensitive, not to mention that she suffers from serious stagefright. Even though she has appointed herself the manager of the Detective Boys, the kids often leave her out of case or ignore her warnings. She was also quite hurt when she believed [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Inspector Shiratori]] was only interested in her because of her resemblance to [[Miwako Sato]], a resemblance so striking it even fooled Sato's close associates [[Kazunobu Chiba|Chiba]] and [[Yumi Miyamoto|Yumi]].<ref>Manga Chapter 706: "Kobayashi-sensei's Misunderstanding"</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 707: "The Sakura Girl is..."</ref>

In contrast of Sumiko's physical resemblance to Sato, however, the two women have almost entirely different personality traits: While Sato is reckless, outspoken, daring, and impulsive, Sumiko is more gentle, softspoken, cautious, and careful in any given situation.

Sumiko loves mystery novels, particularly the works of [[Edogawa Rampo]]. Because of this, Haibara suggests that she and Shiratori would work well together because Sumiko would enjoy hearing about cases from him.<ref>Manga Chapter 690: "The Haunted Warehouse"</ref> One of the few things she openly dislikes or fears are birds, ever since she had watched a documentary in which vultures fed on a zebra carcass.<ref>[[Volume 99#Trapped at Hatoyama Farm|Manga Chapter 1051: "The Eerie Farm"]]</ref>

== Plot overview ==
=== School Mystery Case (Manga: [[Volume 16#School Mystery Case|154-155]], Anime: [[The Seven Mysteries of Teitan Elementary School Case|112]]) ===
In her first appearance, Sumiko was known by the students of Class 1-B, including Conan and the Detective Boys, as a strict, mean teacher, who was always disciplining her class, never showing any kindness. Her initial personality led to her students nicknaming her "Old Demon Hag". Then, one night, the [[Detective Boys]] decided to figure out why many dolls were missing one after another. Conan deduces the one behind the "kidnappings" was Sumiko herself, which relieved the children. Sumiko finally revealed the reason behind her "dictator-like" teaching was that, in the past, two of her students fought at a parent-teacher conference, because of her lack in discipline. She would come at Teitan Elementary at night to practice for the next parent-teacher conference, so there would be no more fights. However, with some suggestions from the Detective Boys, she changed her teaching style and became more well liked.

Sumiko agrees to give the Detective Boys a ride to a writer's home, since he wanted to do a report on them for their involvement in complicated cases. However, the gang didn't expect a dead writer. When [[Inspector Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi]] arrive at the scene, both believe that Sumiko is Sato because, without her glasses on, she bears a scary resemblance to the officer. Soon Conan tries to prove the Detective Boy's skills in catching the criminal, however, he also had to conceal his vast intelligence, so his secret wouldn't be questioned by Sumiko. Conan and his friends manage to drop hints on who the real culprit is which leads to his arrest.

After the case, Sumiko dubbed herself the "manager" of the group, wanting to solve and capture "bad guys" along with them.

During another one of the kids' cases, Sumiko is called to pick up the children by Megure. However, Shiratori (who had learned about Sumiko's existence few minutes before and was wondering if she was "the girl" from his past, since the other non-Sato candidate turned out to be the culprit of the case) offered that she should take them home in his car, while holding her hand in a romantic style.

=== Haunted Warehouse Case (Manga: [[Volume 66#Haunted Warehouse Case|690-691]], Anime: [[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|571-572]]) ===
Over the next few days, he has made constant visits to where she works, warning her of any and all danger in the vicinity, which sparks Sumiko developing a crush on him, unaware of their actual history.

=== Purse Snatcher Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 67#Purse Snatcher Murder Case|705-708]], Anime: [[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|583-585]]) ===
Later, Shiratori again warns Sumiko of a vicious, serial purse thief, who might be a woman, who's still at large. During the conversation, the latter asks why Shiratori kept calling her, and he simply replied, "Because I worry about you". The Detective Boys soon arrive and ask her if they want to come to a festival with her and she agrees. Soon, she loses sight of the children and as she's trying to find her way around, she becomes a witness of a murder. She was able to see the culprit's silhouette and hear their voice.

The next day, Sumiko goes to the police station, with the kids to testify what she saw. She meets [[Yumi Miyamoto]] and [[Kazunobu Chiba]], who confuse her with Sato until Shiratori clears up the misunderstanding and escorts Sumiko to a conference so they can discuss the case in more detail. While on her way back from the restroom, she sees Sato from afar and is initially ''very'' happy and giddy at the thought of a woman who looks like her... but then she learns of Shiratori's former interest in Sato. This leads her to suspect that Shiratori only liked her because of her physical traits to the female officer, and depresses her greatly.

From then on Sumiko begins to treat Shiratori harshly and, after seeing that the three main suspects weren't the criminal, she coldly tells Shiratori not to bother her anymore and leaves. The next day at school school, he tells her the real reason why he liked her, but she dismisses it, as she believes Sato was "the girl of destiny" and cannot remember their supposed "meeting". However, while working late at night, she was almost killed by the criminal in order to silence her, but is saved by Shiratori, the Detective Boys and Sato.

Sumiko then finally remembers Shiratori, after he calls out the culprit in almost exactly the way he called out the shoplifters to help her. Shiratori then confesses he was always in love with her and Sumiko blushes and replies, "Yes.". Later, she makes a special bento for Shiratori, signifying that the two are now a couple.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Ninzaburo Shiratori ===
{{main|Ninzaburo Shiratori and Sumiko Kobayashi}}
As a child, Sumiko instantly became Shiratori's true love, and was the very reason why he entered the police force. They had confronted a bunch of shoplifters together as children; Shiratori had prevented her from getting hurt and also stopped the theft, and as thanks she gave him a cup of cola with a band made of straw wrappers, shaped like the ''sakura'' blossoms that look like the symbol of the Japanese Police.

For quite a while Shiratori believed that [[Miwako Sato]] was the girl he had loved since childhood and changed his life forever, due to her resemblance with the "girl of destiny", hence he was interested in her. At the beginning of a case that revealed parts of Shiratori's past, he realized Sato wasn't his true love, and even if she was, she had chosen [[Wataru Takagi]] over him. Even worse, at the end of the said case, Shiratori was left depressed and exhausted, since another woman who could have been his long-lost love actually turned out to be the culprit. However, Ayumi cheered him up by saying the exact same lines that the girl from his past said and by making the same design on the wristband she gave him. Shiratori desperately asked who taught her that, and Ayumi told him it was her school teacher, Sumiko. Then, at that exact moment, Sumiko came to pick up the Detective Boys upon [[Juzo Megure]]'s request.

When Shiratori laid his eyes on Sumiko, he instantly recognized her as his true "woman of destiny", and their relationship began to spark. He would always warn her of any dangers nearby where she worked or lived, which caused Sumiko to develop romantic feelings. In fact, his concern over her, constant visits, and kindness towards her, often caused her to blush deeply.

When Sumiko became a witness in a murder investigation, she learned of her resemblance to Detective Sato. And after hearing about Shiratori's former crush on her from other policemen, she thought that the only reason he was so interested in her was because of her striking resemblance to Sato. This left her not only shocked, but also hurt, thinking Shiratori didn't have feelings for her. This wasn't helped by Shiratori not having told her about their shared past, as he was waiting for the right moment to do so.

Not knowing the real reason why Shiratori liked her, Sumiko began to act coldly and harshly towards him. Even when he confessed his true feelings to her and told her about their meeting, she brushed it off, thinking Shiratori confused her with Detective Sato. However, it was all cleared up by the end of the case, when he not only saved her from the culprit, but also coolly recited a law the same way he did as a child in that book store, which finally reminded her of their first meeting. Shiratori romantically confessed to her, which made her blush. She replied with a quick and simple "Yes".

Afterwards, the two began dating, and Sumiko started giving Shiratori bentos every morning for his "energy demanding" work. On White Day, Shiratori was seen with many presents inside his car for her. Later on, she was shown with all the delicious sweets Shiratori had brought for her, at her house, happily not knowing where to begin.

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

Although he is Kaitou Kid's arch-enemy from the beginning, the main antagonist of the manga and anime series ''Magic Kaito'' is [[Snake]].

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

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

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

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

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Kaito Kuroba ====
Nakamori is already familiar with Kaito's civilian persona, as he is friends with his daughter Aoko. He has known Kaito since they were kids, and he takes care of him regularly, having even dinner together. He also does know that Kaito is the son of a renowned magician and quite skilled in magic himself. Because of this, he will sometimes ask for Kaito's assistance and advice on various strategies to capture Kaitou Kid; or trust his perspective on some cases.

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

In some cases, Aoko and Kaito do deliver to the Inspector their meals at work, and because of chances like these, Kaito gets to see the security from the inside.

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

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

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

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

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

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

|}

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

{{nihongo|'''Heizo Hattori'''|服部平蔵|Hattori Heizō}}, known in the Funimation dub as '''Martin Hartwell''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Heizo Hattori is the father of [[Heiji Hattori]], the husband of [[Shizuka Hattori]] and the highest ranking officer in the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, as Superintendent Supervisor.<ref>Manga volume 10, file 93; anime episode 77.</ref> He is close to [[Goro Otaki]] and [[Ginshiro Toyama]], and it is due to his friendship with the latter that Heiji was able to meet Toyama's daughter [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]]. He respects the famous [[Kogoro Mouri|Sleeping Kogoro]] and does not seem to have noticed [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s extraordinary abilities, perhaps because they have only met a handful of times.

== Personality ==
Heizo is very serious (especially when he is at work) and quite cold. However, he does have a softer side, and he cares about his family members and friends.

== Skills ==
Heizo possesses superb observation skills, and his intelligence and dedication skills are also excellent, as, in every case (2 cases so far) with his personal involvement, he manages to correctly deduce the culprit. In the [[The Osaka Double Mystery - The Naniwa Swordsman and Toyotomi's Castle|Tiger Scroll Case]], he also devises a plan to bait the culprit and his henchmen out, and in the [[Heiji Hattori vs. Shinichi Kudo: Deduction Battle on the Ski Slope|Yuki-Onna Murder Case]] he solves the case without even being at the murder scene and as quickly as [[Yusaku Kudo]]. His police rank implies that he knows the art of managing people, and gives him command of many of the police officers of Osaka.

Heizo is additionally a practitioner of Kendo.

== Plot overview ==
In most cases where he appears, Heizo only plays a minor role.

=== Great Detective of the West (Manga: [[Volume 10#Great Detective of the West|93]], Anime: [[Diplomat Murder Case|48]]) ===
Megure mentions that Heiji's father is called Heizo.

=== Bond of Fire Case (Manga: [[Volume 15#Bond of Fire Case|150]], Anime: [[Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case|77]]) ===
Heizo appears at the beginning of the case only; Dosan Nagato, a friend of his, introduces him to Kogoro, Ran and Conan. Since Heizo has work to do in Osaka, he sets off before long, leaving his son (whom he praises as having sharp observation skills) with Kogoro in Nagato's mansion.

=== Stabbed Wallet Case (Manga: [[Volume 19#Stabbed Wallet Case|185]], Anime: [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case|118]]) ===
Again, Heizo only appears at the beginning. He is seen talking about the serial murder case with [[Ginshiro Toyama]]: since it appears to be indiscriminate, he warns that if the culprit is not caught soon, mass hysteria might occur. Toyama understands what the police are facing as well, and promises to act carefully.

=== Cruise Ship Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 23#Cruise Ship Murder Case|227]], Anime: [[The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case|174]]) ===
Toji Samezaki mentions that Heizo and him became friends through kendo and that Heizo would always beat him with ease in kendo matches.

=== Tiger Scroll Case (Manga: [[Volume 31#Tiger Scroll Case|317, 319-321]], Anime: [[The Osaka Double Mystery - The Naniwa Swordsman and Toyotomi's Castle|263]]) ===

=== Yuki-Onna Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 50#Yuki-Onna Murder Case|519, 521-522]], Anime: [[Heiji Hattori vs. Shinichi Kudo: Deduction Battle on the Ski Slope|490]]) ===
Heizo solves the case just from what Shizuka told him over the phone. Later on, he gives a hint to Heiji to enlighten his son and allow him to solve the case as well.

=== Unexpected Murder (Manga: [[Volume 79#Unexpected Murder|833]], Anime: [[Everyone Saw|711]]) ===
In an exceptional move, Heizo calls Otaki and requests him to investigate a case. Otaki asks what the case is about, and Heizo ominously asks whether Otaki believes that vampires exist.

=== Vampire's Mansion (Manga: [[Volume 79#Vampire's Mansion|834]], Anime: [[Heiji Hattori and the Vampire Mansion|712]]) ===
Otaki, while on the way to Vampire's Mansion, recalls that when Heizo called him, he advised him to take caution and not let vampires suck up his blood.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== The Private Eyes' Requiem (Movie: [[The Private Eyes' Requiem|10]]) ===

=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 36#The Eyewitness Through the Window|402]], Anime: TBD) ===

=== The Lost Ship in the Sky (Movie: [[The Lost Ship in the Sky|14]]) ===

=== Private Eye in the Distant Sea (Movie: [[Private Eye in the Distant Sea|17]]) ===

=== The Crimson Love Letter (Movie: [[The Crimson Love Letter|21]]) ===

=== Kaiju Gomera vs. Kamen Yaiba (Anime: [[Kaiju Gomera vs. Kamen Yaiba|965-968]]) ===

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Shizuka Hattori ===
They appear to have a good relationship. Shizuka is not intimidated by his fierce personality, and he seems to listen to her.

=== Heiji Hattori ===
Heizo is proud of his son and seemingly supportive of his aspirations to be a detective. He also knows Heiji very well, which is why he successfully turns Heiji into a bait in the Tiger Scroll Case (this does not mean that Heiji's safety is not important to Heizo; on the contrary, he does not hesitate to place himself between Heiji and the culprit and his several dozen henchmen in order to protect the former in the same case). Heiji, for his part, does not seem to care what his father thinks of him, and addresses him very informally even when they are before a lot of people.

== Name origin ==
His surname stems from Inspector Hattori, a police officer who often cooperates with Detective Shunsaku Kudo of the TV drama ''[[wikipedia:ja:探偵物語|Detective Tales]]'', while "Heizo" Hasegawa is the main protagonist of ''Onihei Hanakacho''.

== Quotes ==
{{cquote|He's just getting in the way! The spoiled brat lets all this nonsense about "high school detectives" go to his head. He's disturbing the body and the crime scene to feed his own ego. He's just a liability to preserving the evidence. Just now, two people died right under his nose while he couldn't do a thing to stop it. He figured the police had established a perimeter so nothing would happen.|Heizo giving some "tough love" to his son.}}

'''{{nihongo|Misao Yamamura|山村ミサオ|Yamamura Misao}}''', also known as '''Detective Magnum''' in the English dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Misao is a detective and police officer from the Gunma district who covers multiple divisions, including robbery cases, escorting criminals, traffic observation, and homicide cases. Later on in the series, Yamamura is finally promoted to an Inspector role<ref name="m13" />, much to the chagrin of Conan and especially Kogoro.

== Background ==
Yamamura was born and grew up in the Gunma Prefecture. He became a police detective because he was a fan of [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s television show in which she played a police woman, ''Dangerous Policewoman Story''.<ref name=Misao>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Yamamura, before being promoted to Inspector, was considered a rookie detective.<ref name=Misao>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> In his first case, he mentioned that the only reason why he was put on the case was because everyone else in his precinct had a cold.<ref name=Misao/> His reputation grows after Conan knocks him out to solve a case, which gives him more assignments. Yamamura has a grandmother, named [[Misae Yamamura]],<ref name=Tobacco/> who sometimes gets indirectly involved in Yamamura's cases.<ref name=Witch />

[[Image:Inspector Yamamura's Badge.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Inspector Yamamura shows off his badge to Kogoro, Conan, and Ran.]]
The reaction of most characters when they see Yamamura is complete bewilderment; Kogoro even notes that he cannot believe that this is the only detective from the Gunma prefecture that can help him out during a murder case.<ref name=Curry/> Misao also does other work in the department, including robbery cases, as well as covering traffic observations.<ref name=Contact>[[Contact with the Black Organization|Episode 309-311: Contact with the Black Organization]]</ref> He also has escorted criminals to different places.<ref name=Mitsuhiko>[[Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision|Episode 289-290: Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision]]</ref>

In time, Yamamura was finally named [[Police Organization|an inspector]], which he proudly showed off to Kogoro, Ran, and Conan. However, this annoyed Kogoro, who still called Yamamura "Yamamura-kei'''ji'''" (''Officer'' Yamamura) instead of "Yamamura-"kei'''bu'''" (''Inspector'' Yamamura); Conan expressed worry about the future of Gunma police with Yamamura in charge of other detectives, while Ran appeared to be the only one in support of Yamamura's new promotion.<ref name=Witch>[[The Witch Enshrouded by Fog|Episode 545-546: The Witch Enshrouded by Fog]]</ref> Later, he is revealed to work for Division 1 of the prefectural police department which covers only homicide.<ref>[[Episode 939]]</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[Image:Misao scared.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Misao is terrified.]]
For being a detective, Yamamura makes many unnecessary mistakes, including not noticing completely obvious clues, and even feels fear at the sight of blood or a dead body. He is also incredibly naive and superstitious, fully believing that a "curse" was left by ghosts in a case, to the point of being scared.<ref name=Window/> He even messes up in trying to escort a criminal to Nakanojō forest, deserting his own post because he wanted to buy himself some lunch.<ref name=Mitsuhiko/> He also does not act in good conduct, publicly fawning over Yukiko Kudo when he found out who she was.<ref name=Misao/> Misao also once got heavily distracted by a portable television that he brought during a case because he had wanted to watch a romantic drama that was airing at the time of an investigation.<ref name=Sonoko>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 466-467: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> And when it comes to Gunma, Misao doesn't even fully know the whole area, and has to be corrected by locals on certain things.<ref name=Snowman>[[The Unsmashable Snowman|Episode 457-458: The Unsmashable Snowman]]</ref>

However, even though he is a little clueless, Yamamura still knows the basics of his work and what to do in a crisis. For instance, he often writes in his notebook every piece of information he has been given about the case - even if that does not prevent him from forgetting what he has written,<ref>[[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|Episode 481-482: Mountain Witch's Cutlery]] where he forgets a name before realizing he had noted it in his notebook.</ref>. He is also very supportive, and always wants to lend a helping hand in solving a case. He is not completely lost during murder cases, figuring it out when Conan has to resort to giving out hand signs to him due to losing his voice from a cold.<ref name=Curry>[[The Suspicious Spicy Curry|Episode 331-332: The Suspicious Spicy Curry]]</ref> Also, Misao is very handy in helping catch a criminal, having been used by Conan to help confront a criminal that was trying to proclaim their innocence.<ref name=Suspect /> He also helped catch another criminal, mostly through instructions Conan, pretending to be Kogoro, left for him on his cell phone as a text message.<ref name=Window>[[The Sealed Western-Style Window|Episode 446-447: The Sealed Western-Style Window]]</ref> He even tried giving Kogoro credit for the case, showing that unlike Kogoro, he can be modest.<ref name=Window/> However, Conan indicated in the text message that "Kogoro" wanted Misao to take all of the credit.<ref name=Window/>

[[Image:Misao and Conan.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan whispers to Misao an observation at a murder case.]]
[[Image:Misao's Cell.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yamamura's cell phone.]]
Whenever Yamamura is involved in catching a criminal, he tends to become very excited. He noted that it felt like a "movie" when he had to shoot one of the runaway robbers in a bank robbery case.<ref name=Contact/> He is extremely excited to be involved in helping [[Eri Kisaki]] and Conan catch the real killer in another case to the point of acting like a little kid after the killer was arrested, talking about how he acted and looked when confronting the killer.<ref name=Suspect/> His child-like reactions also manifest on the opposite end of the spectrum. One time when Yamamura decides that he is a bad police officer after making two big blunders during one case, it became up to Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys do their best to cheer him up so that he could feel better and lend them a hand in finding [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]].<ref name=Mitsuhiko/> Still, he is quite conscious of the importance of his role in society and his profession, making him in morale - if not in skill - a true police officer.<ref name=Mitsuhiko/>

Misao is the Gunma officer sent for the case because he knew Kogoro. He brings a camera and is excited by the idea of having an opportunity to record "Sleeping Kogoro" to show it to his Gunma co-workers. Nevertheless, he is not very helpful with resolving the case.

Inspector Misao Yamamura arrived to investigate. Conan also tries to gather clues to help, but is limited to what he can do when a sneaky Eisuke starts to spy and watch him. Conan has to use different tactics so he won't seem suspicious to him. Conan sends a mail to Detective Yamamura as Mouri telling him who the actual culprit is. In the end, Conan said to himself, that the reason that he didn't put Detective Yamamura or Sonoko to sleep is because he noticed Eisuke was watching him.

Misao is the officer sent for this case, and brings a portable TV with him so that he will not miss his favorite drama, "The Maple Leaves of Winter", which he became a fan of, after his grandmother recommended it to him. This drama relates to the case, so he tries to make the suspects confess that they like the movie, without success. To his big disappointment, the drama episode that night was cancelled.

=== Onibaba Legend Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 56#Onibaba Legend Murder Case|580-581]], Anime: [[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|481-482]]) ===
In front of the events of the case, Misao first declares that the culprit is a member of the house - a correct conclusion - and wishes to proceed to a thorough investigation; however, realizing that none of the suspects could have committed the crime, he later concludes that the culprit is an outsider having used a trick. Misao is also surprised to encounter Agasa so frequently at crime scenes, and advices Conan to be exorcised of his habit of attracting crimes.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
==== The Raven Chaser (Movie: [[The Raven Chaser|13]]) ====
One of the murders of the case having happened on the Gunma border, Misao is called onto the investigation. He behaves as he always does, is immediately despised by [[Kansuke Yamato]], and is even disrespectful towards [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]]. Misao is one of the few inspectors (with Sango) to follow Kogoro's whimsical theory about the murder, and he is eventually the only one to come with him when he leaves the headquarters on his own, saying he is going to catch the culprit. He still plays a role in the movie, by hearing Vermouth dialing her Boss' phone number; the tune unconsciously makes him whistle the ''[[Nanatsu no Ko]]'' song, leading Conan to suspect that a member of the Organization infiltrated the meeting.

==== The Dangerous Fossil Finding Trip (Anime: [[The Dangerous Fossil Finding Trip|939]]) ====
In the Onino village, Yamamura is called there after a possible murder has occured at the village's fossil excavating site and museum's toilet. The victim was the museum's owner who was poisoned and Yamamura quickly deduced that the victim is likely to have been murdered and that the two other guests are the suspects. After the sunset, Conan used Agasa to solve the case instead of Yamamura and, seeing the culprit, Yamamura exclaims himself that the culprit must show remorse and atone for his crimes which stuns the forensics officer and Conan before making a thumbs up since the case is solved. The [[Detective Boys]] approve his statement and make also a thumbs up except for Haibara who just stares at him. He then laughs out just like Kogoro.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Kogoro Mouri ===
Misao met [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] from the [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|case]]. He is a very big fan of him, to the point of fawning over him, acting as if he was Mouri's biggest fan, and often being the only one to approve and follow his more bizarre deductions. He considers that they are partners and that, when on a case together, they have a 100% chance to catch the criminal; however, Kogoro does not approve of the "partner" appellation.<ref name=Eisuke1st/> Misao is very disappointed when he cannot film Kogoro during his "sleeping" form, musing that he wanted to show the other detectives at the Gunma Police Department.<ref name=Imposter>[[Kogoro Mouri's Imposter|Episode 243-244: Kogoro Mouri's Imposter]]</ref> However, when he finally does get to film Kogoro's sleeping deduction, he leaves the camera on pause during the whole deduction, showing off his carelessness.<ref name=Eisuke1st>[[The Two Who Can't Return Anymore|Episode 429-430: The Two Who Can't Return Anymore]]</ref> He even cries heavily when he thinks that Kogoro has killed himself, not knowing that it was merely an imposter that looked like him.<ref name=Imposter/> However, this does not mean that Kogoro doesn't fall victim to Misao's bad deductions; the first time that Misao meets him, he announces that Kogoro is the killer without barely any evidence at all.<ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> Although Kogoro does not like his detective skills, he considers Yamamura a friend on a purely personal level, especially when both detectives drink together.<ref name=Imposter/>

=== Misae Yamamura ===
[[Misae Yamamura]] is Misao Yamamura's paternal grandmother. They are very close. She lives in the Tottori prefecture, and he often talks about calling or visiting her. They seem to have the same interests: she recommended a romantic drama to Misao which later captivated him.<ref>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 466-467]]: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief</ref>

=== Hiromitsu Morofushi ===
When Yamamura was young, he was friends with [[Hiromitsu Morofushi]] who called him Mit-chan. Together they built a hideout in a forest between Nagano and Gunma.

== Name origin ==
Yamamura's name comes from mystery writer [[Wikipedia: Misa Yamamura|Misa Yamamura]]. In the english Funimation Dub, his surname is a reference to detective series Magnum P.I.

His last name Yamamura (山村) translates as "mountain village". His first name Misao (ミサオ) may have the meaning "chastity, fidelity", but since it is written with purely phonetic Katakana, no definite meaning can be assigned to it.

* In a late december interview, [[Gosho Aoyama]] revealed Yamamura didn't have any links with the [[Black Organization]] since readers have theorized he might be the boss since his and his grandma's postal code was the same as the boss's.
*In File 1082 it's revealed he was once friends with Hiromitsu.

'''{{nihongo|Misao Yamamura|山村ミサオ|Yamamura Misao}}''', also known as '''Detective Magnum''' in the English dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Misao is a detective and police officer from the Gunma district who covers multiple divisions, including robbery cases, escorting criminals, traffic observation, and homicide cases. Later on in the series, Yamamura is finally promoted to an Inspector role<ref name="m13" />, much to the chagrin of Conan and especially Kogoro.

== Background ==
Yamamura was born and grew up in the Gunma Prefecture. He became a police detective because he was a fan of [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s television show in which she played a police woman, ''Dangerous Policewoman Story''.<ref name=Misao>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Yamamura, before being promoted to Inspector, was considered a rookie detective.<ref name=Misao>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> In his first case, he mentioned that the only reason why he was put on the case was because everyone else in his precinct had a cold.<ref name=Misao/> His reputation grows after Conan knocks him out to solve a case, which gives him more assignments. Yamamura has a grandmother, named [[Misae Yamamura]],<ref name=Tobacco/> who sometimes gets indirectly involved in Yamamura's cases.<ref name=Witch />

[[Image:Inspector Yamamura's Badge.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Inspector Yamamura shows off his badge to Kogoro, Conan, and Ran.]]
The reaction of most characters when they see Yamamura is complete bewilderment; Kogoro even notes that he cannot believe that this is the only detective from the Gunma prefecture that can help him out during a murder case.<ref name=Curry/> Misao also does other work in the department, including robbery cases, as well as covering traffic observations.<ref name=Contact>[[Contact with the Black Organization|Episode 309-311: Contact with the Black Organization]]</ref> He also has escorted criminals to different places.<ref name=Mitsuhiko>[[Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision|Episode 289-290: Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision]]</ref>

In time, Yamamura was finally named [[Police Organization|an inspector]], which he proudly showed off to Kogoro, Ran, and Conan. However, this annoyed Kogoro, who still called Yamamura "Yamamura-kei'''ji'''" (''Officer'' Yamamura) instead of "Yamamura-"kei'''bu'''" (''Inspector'' Yamamura); Conan expressed worry about the future of Gunma police with Yamamura in charge of other detectives, while Ran appeared to be the only one in support of Yamamura's new promotion.<ref name=Witch>[[The Witch Enshrouded by Fog|Episode 545-546: The Witch Enshrouded by Fog]]</ref> Later, he is revealed to work for Division 1 of the prefectural police department which covers only homicide.<ref>[[Episode 939]]</ref>

== Personality ==
[[Image:Misao scared.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Misao is terrified.]]
For being a detective, Yamamura makes many unnecessary mistakes, including not noticing completely obvious clues, and even feels fear at the sight of blood or a dead body. He is also incredibly naive and superstitious, fully believing that a "curse" was left by ghosts in a case, to the point of being scared.<ref name=Window/> He even messes up in trying to escort a criminal to Nakanojō forest, deserting his own post because he wanted to buy himself some lunch.<ref name=Mitsuhiko/> He also does not act in good conduct, publicly fawning over Yukiko Kudo when he found out who she was.<ref name=Misao/> Misao also once got heavily distracted by a portable television that he brought during a case because he had wanted to watch a romantic drama that was airing at the time of an investigation.<ref name=Sonoko>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 466-467: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> And when it comes to Gunma, Misao doesn't even fully know the whole area, and has to be corrected by locals on certain things.<ref name=Snowman>[[The Unsmashable Snowman|Episode 457-458: The Unsmashable Snowman]]</ref>

However, even though he is a little clueless, Yamamura still knows the basics of his work and what to do in a crisis. For instance, he often writes in his notebook every piece of information he has been given about the case - even if that does not prevent him from forgetting what he has written,<ref>[[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|Episode 481-482: Mountain Witch's Cutlery]] where he forgets a name before realizing he had noted it in his notebook.</ref>. He is also very supportive, and always wants to lend a helping hand in solving a case. He is not completely lost during murder cases, figuring it out when Conan has to resort to giving out hand signs to him due to losing his voice from a cold.<ref name=Curry>[[The Suspicious Spicy Curry|Episode 331-332: The Suspicious Spicy Curry]]</ref> Also, Misao is very handy in helping catch a criminal, having been used by Conan to help confront a criminal that was trying to proclaim their innocence.<ref name=Suspect /> He also helped catch another criminal, mostly through instructions Conan, pretending to be Kogoro, left for him on his cell phone as a text message.<ref name=Window>[[The Sealed Western-Style Window|Episode 446-447: The Sealed Western-Style Window]]</ref> He even tried giving Kogoro credit for the case, showing that unlike Kogoro, he can be modest.<ref name=Window/> However, Conan indicated in the text message that "Kogoro" wanted Misao to take all of the credit.<ref name=Window/>

[[Image:Misao and Conan.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan whispers to Misao an observation at a murder case.]]
[[Image:Misao's Cell.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yamamura's cell phone.]]
Whenever Yamamura is involved in catching a criminal, he tends to become very excited. He noted that it felt like a "movie" when he had to shoot one of the runaway robbers in a bank robbery case.<ref name=Contact/> He is extremely excited to be involved in helping [[Eri Kisaki]] and Conan catch the real killer in another case to the point of acting like a little kid after the killer was arrested, talking about how he acted and looked when confronting the killer.<ref name=Suspect/> His child-like reactions also manifest on the opposite end of the spectrum. One time when Yamamura decides that he is a bad police officer after making two big blunders during one case, it became up to Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys do their best to cheer him up so that he could feel better and lend them a hand in finding [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]].<ref name=Mitsuhiko/> Still, he is quite conscious of the importance of his role in society and his profession, making him in morale - if not in skill - a true police officer.<ref name=Mitsuhiko/>

Conan has to use different tactics so he won't seem suspicious to him. Conan sends a mail to Detective Yamamura as Mouri telling him who the actual culprit is. In the end, Conan said to himself, that the reason that he didn't put Detective Yamamura or Sonoko to sleep is because he noticed Eisuke was watching him.

Misao is also surprised to encounter Agasa so frequently at crime scenes, and advices Conan to be exorcised of his habit of attracting crimes.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
==== The Raven Chaser (Movie: [[The Raven Chaser|13]]) ====
One of the murders of the case having happened on the Gunma border, Misao is called onto the investigation. He behaves as he always does, is immediately despised by [[Kansuke Yamato]], and is even disrespectful towards [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]]. Misao is one of the few inspectors (with Sango) to follow Kogoro's whimsical theory about the murder, and he is eventually the only one to come with him when he leaves the headquarters on his own, saying he is going to catch the culprit. He still plays a role in the movie, by hearing Vermouth dialing her Boss' phone number; the tune unconsciously makes him whistle the ''[[Nanatsu no Ko]]'' song, leading Conan to suspect that a member of the Organization infiltrated the meeting.

==== The Dangerous Fossil Finding Trip (Anime: [[The Dangerous Fossil Finding Trip|939]]) ====
In the Onino village, Yamamura is called there after a possible murder has occured at the village's fossil excavating site and museum's toilet. The victim was the museum's owner who was poisoned and Yamamura quickly deduced that the victim is likely to have been murdered and that the two other guests are the suspects. After the sunset, Conan used Agasa to solve the case instead of Yamamura and, seeing the culprit, Yamamura exclaims himself that the culprit must show remorse and atone for his crimes which stuns the forensics officer and Conan before making a thumbs up since the case is solved. The [[Detective Boys]] approve his statement and make also a thumbs up except for Haibara who just stares at him. He then laughs out just like Kogoro.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Kogoro Mouri ===
Misao met [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] from the [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|case]]. He is a very big fan of him, to the point of fawning over him, acting as if he was Mouri's biggest fan, and often being the only one to approve and follow his more bizarre deductions. He considers that they are partners and that, when on a case together, they have a 100% chance to catch the criminal; however, Kogoro does not approve of the "partner" appellation.<ref name=Eisuke1st/> Misao is very disappointed when he cannot film Kogoro during his "sleeping" form, musing that he wanted to show the other detectives at the Gunma Police Department.<ref name=Imposter>[[Kogoro Mouri's Imposter|Episode 243-244: Kogoro Mouri's Imposter]]</ref> However, when he finally does get to film Kogoro's sleeping deduction, he leaves the camera on pause during the whole deduction, showing off his carelessness.<ref name=Eisuke1st>[[The Two Who Can't Return Anymore|Episode 429-430: The Two Who Can't Return Anymore]]</ref> He even cries heavily when he thinks that Kogoro has killed himself, not knowing that it was merely an imposter that looked like him.<ref name=Imposter/> However, this does not mean that Kogoro doesn't fall victim to Misao's bad deductions; the first time that Misao meets him, he announces that Kogoro is the killer without barely any evidence at all.<ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> Although Kogoro does not like his detective skills, he considers Yamamura a friend on a purely personal level, especially when both detectives drink together.<ref name=Imposter/>

=== Misae Yamamura ===
[[Misae Yamamura]] is Misao Yamamura's paternal grandmother. They are very close. She lives in the Tottori prefecture, and he often talks about calling or visiting her. They seem to have the same interests: she recommended a romantic drama to Misao which later captivated him.<ref>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 466-467]]: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief</ref>

=== Hiromitsu Morofushi ===
When Yamamura was young, he was friends with [[Hiromitsu Morofushi]] who called him Mit-chan. Together they built a hideout in a forest between Nagano and Gunma.

== Name origin ==
Yamamura's name comes from mystery writer [[Wikipedia: Misa Yamamura|Misa Yamamura]]. In the english Funimation Dub, his surname is a reference to detective series Magnum P.I.

His last name Yamamura (山村) translates as "mountain village". His first name Misao (ミサオ) may have the meaning "chastity, fidelity", but since it is written with purely phonetic Katakana, no definite meaning can be assigned to it.

'''{{nihongo|Sango Yokomizo|横溝参悟|Yokomizo Sango}}'''<ref>In [[Tenkaichi Night Festival Murder Case]], his name was {{nihongo|'''Masafumi'''|正文|Masafumi}} and not Sango.</ref>, also known as '''Inspector Worthington''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Sango Yokomizo was originally the head inspector of the Saitama district, though he transferred to the Shizuoka district soon after. However, he and his twin brother [[Jugo Yokomizo|Jugo]], who is also a police inspector and has remained in Saitama, stay in touch and have even assisted each other in various (and even locally unrelated) cases.

As children, Sango and Jugo would often play with other kids near the beach. Both brothers were actually afraid of swimming in the ocean, but while Jugo would go near the water, Sango was so scared that he would never even leave the boat.<ref>[[Ikkaku Rock's Disappearing Fish|Episode 542: Ikkaku Rock's Disappearing Fish, Part 1]]</ref> Thus, Sango, even as an adult, does not know how to swim.<ref name=Net>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref>

Conan often runs into Yokomizo when he is away for a festival, or on a vacation. It is hinted that Sango is the head inspector of a richer town, as he often is involved in a case at a fancy hotel, or one of [[Sonoko Suzuki]]'s vacation spots, as well as the homes of her relatives.<ref name=Triplet>[[The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case|Episode 72: The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case]]</ref> He is also the head inspector in most cases involving a famous actor or actress,<ref name=Act>[[The Murdered Famous Detective|Episode 185-186: The Murdered Famous Detective]]</ref> and at many festivals.<ref name=Car>[[The Super Car's Trap|Episode 197-198: The Super Car's Trap]]</ref>

== Personality ==
[[Image:Inspector Yokomizo's Badge.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Inspector Yokomizo shows a suspect his badge.]]
Yokomizo is a capable police officer, though with one odious personal habit: he tends to get his face right into a suspect's face, study them closely, and scream into their face when he believes he is onto something, a habit which even he believes is a little embarrassing. Another trait of his is to speak really loudly when deeply involved in an investigation. His loud voice has received many complaints from suspects.<ref name=Spirit/>

Sango considers himself a big fan of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s work.<ref name=Festival/> Often when he sees Kogoro, his demeanor changes and he has him help him investigate a case.<ref name=Temple/> Sometimes, he even actually calls Kogoro and asks him to come with him, because there is a case that he is having a problem solving.<ref name=Times>[[The Man Who Was Killed Four Times|Episode 175: The Man Who Was Killed Four Times]]</ref> Kogoro however, sometimes puts down Sango's theories, even when it turns out Sango's intuitions are indeed the correct ones.<ref name=Car/> Kogoro does not always react the same way to seeing Sango, as Sango does to him,<ref name=Palace>[[The Water Palace of Five Colors Legend|Episode 210-211: The Water Palace of Five Colors Legend]]</ref> but he does appear to consider Sango a good friend.
[[Image:Yokomizo's Interrogation.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Inspector Yokomizo interrogates a suspect, using his usual menacing method.]]
Sango always acts very excited when he sees that Kogoro becomes "The Sleeping Kogoro".<ref name=Col/> However, Sango is more modest than Kogoro, as compared to Kogoro, who acts very excited and perverted.<ref name=Client>[[A Small Client|Episode 354-355: A Small Client]]</ref> Sango often mistakes female suspects or witnesses for Kogoro's wife.

Although he can be a menacing figure, he is shown to be a very adept investigator. He is shown in his first appearance on the show to realize who the killer is, and he is also the only one other than Conan to doubt the suspect's alibi, right down to the photographic trick the killer used to solidify their alibi.<ref name=Festival>[[Tenkaichi Night Festival Murder Case|Episode 9: Tenkaichi Night Festival Murder Case]]</ref> Conan even has Sango look at the evidence Conan has found, to accuse the killer of the murder.<ref name=Festival/> Conan also believes that Sango is a very adept and smart inspector, commenting during a case that Sango, who was the one in charge, would be a much smarter choice for figuring out the case over [[Kogoro Mouri]].<ref name=Sonoko>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> In another case, he is the only adult to believe that a murder took place instead of a suicide at a temple, but Conan, when voicing Kogoro, still chides Sango for not paying attention to the obvious clues Sango had found.<ref name=Temple>[[The Legend of the Mysterious Five Storied Pagoda|Episode 159-160: The Legend of the Mysterious Five Storied Pagoda]]</ref> Sango also has a big fear of ghosts, an even bigger fear of them than even [[Ran Mouri]].<ref name=Spirit>[[The Evil Spirit Appears on An Unlucky Day|Episode 415-417: The Evil Spirit Appears on An Unlucky Day]]</ref>

He also has a softer side, like when he is shown with [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] and [[Conan Edogawa]] trying to comfort [[Ai Haibara]] after she breaks down to Conan, asking him why he didn't save her sister, [[Akemi Miyano]].<ref name=AiDebut>[[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|Episode 129: The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case]]</ref> He later on comes to think of Kogoro, Ran, and Conan as friends, often running to them and talking to them before anyone else if they appear at a murder case that he is investigating.<ref name=Sonoko/> Sango sometimes contacts his brother, Jugo, whenever he needs help on a suspect in a case.<ref name=Spirit /> In one episode, Jugo helps out Sango by dressing up exactly like him, to help Conan in solving a murder.<ref name=Spirit/> However, Jugo does this very reluctantly, and even tells Sango to not mention that he helped out.<ref name=Spirit/>

Unlike most other characters, Sango does not mind Conan involving himself in cases. In fact, Sango often values Conan's opinion, as well as his keen observations, often asking him if he has found any clues, much to the chagrin of Kogoro.<ref name=Baron>[[Night Baron Murder Case|Episode 68-70: Night Baron Murder Case]]</ref> Whenever Conan makes a point, or points out a clue, Kogoro immediately disregards it, while Sango is the only one who listens to Conan's points without acting in anger towards him, even taking his concerns seriously.<ref name=Col>[[The Entrance to the Maze: The Anger of Colossus|Episode 208: The Entrance to the Maze: The Anger of Colossus]]</ref> It is hinted that Sango also understands the Conan is no ordinary seven-year-old boy, and very smart for his age.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Kogoro Mouri ===
Sango possesses extremely great admiration and respect towards Kogoro Mouri, whom he has come to idolize upon reading about his cases in a newspaper, to the point of referring the latter as "The great detective Kogoro Mouri" (which surprised even Mouri himself) at their first meeting. While Kogoro does not reciprocate the supposed closeness Sango himself believes they have, he does consider Sango a good friend regardless. Sango often mistakes any beautiful lady he sees with Kogoro at a case to be "Mrs Mouri", much to Ran's annoyance and Kogoro's delight. Sango has also sheepishly admitted to having boasted about being Kogoro's "top apprentice" at one point, after discovering that Kogoro already had an apprentice.

=== Jugo Yokomizo ===
Sango and [[Jugo Yokomizo|Jugo]] are twin brothers, with identical appearances (save their different hairstyles) to the point that many people, including Kogoro Mouri, Ran and the Detective Boys, have mistook Jugo for Sango during their first meeting. However, their personalities are directly opposite, with Jugo being harsher and more menacing while Sango having a friendlier (and also slightly less brave) character. Despite their contrasting personas, both brothers are close and have come to assist each other in some cases, setting aside their differences, though Jugo does not share and disapproves of Sango's admiration and idolization of Kogoro.

== Name origin ==
Sango Yokomizo's name comes from the mystery writer, [[Wikipedia: Seishi Yokomizo|Seishi Yokomizo]]. His given name is a homonym for {{nihongo|"coral"|珊瑚|sango}}, which along with his coral-like hairstyle results in the detective boys sometimes referencing him as "coral head". His twin Jugo's given name combines with his to make a numerical pun: {{nihongo|three|三|san}} times {{nihongo|five|五|go}} makes {{nihongo|fifteen|十五|juugo}}.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Background ==
Sonoko Suzuki is the second daughter of Shiro Suzuki, head of the extremely wealthy family and large company, second only to [[Renya Karasuma]]<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref>, and his wife Tomoko. She has an older sister, [[Ayako Suzuki|Ayako]], and an uncle, [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi]], who is often involved in trying to capture [[Kaitou Kid]]. She and Ran have been close friends since kindergarten.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-11-04-20h34m41s202.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko is rather expressive.]]
Sonoko's primary character traits are her impulsiveness, her temper and sense for romanticism. She often acts without thinking ahead, thereby usually dragging [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (and by extension, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]) into her schemes<ref name=e457-458>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> or firing her mouth away with wild tales.<ref name=m94>[[Volume 94#Crimson School Trip Case|Manga Volume 94, File 1000: ''Crimson School Trip Case'']]</ref> Often she acts very insensitively to other's feelings; while she encourages Ran to take her relationship with [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] to a higher level, she just as much enjoys teasing her best friend and beholding her embarrassment.<ref name=m22>[[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|Manga Volume 22, File 219: ''Sonoko's Camera Case'']]</ref><ref name=m25>[[Volume 25#Skating Rink Case|Manga Volume 25, File 243: ''Skating Rink Case'']]</ref><ref name=m72>[[Volume 72#Horror Show|Manga Volume 72, File 756: ''Horror Show Case'']]</ref><ref name=m94/> Despite coming from a very wealthy family and fully enjoying such a pampered lifestyle, Sonoko is surprisingly humble about it. Never trying to buy popularity and friends or bribe her way to get what she wants, Sonoko appreciates getting things that matter and for the right reasons.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

=== An Important Date (Manga: [[Volume 11#Coffee Shop Case|105-107]], Anime: [[Coffee Shop Murder Case|32]]) ===
At the end of the case, Conan asks the person that she was meeting is Shiro Wakaoji, a young man (and a client of the coffee shop where the murder took place) plans to take advantage of a "naive" teenage girl he met while skiing, despite his already having a girlfriend. She says no, but Shiro tries to flirt with her just before Sonoko announces her presence — Sonoko is his intended date. Conan, knowing that Wakaoji only wants to toy with Sonoko, repeats what Wakaoji said in the coffee shop, pretending that he does not understand it and needs explanation. Sonoko hears Conan's revelations about Wakaoji's true intentions, slaps Wakaoji and storms away.

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

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

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

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

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

[[File:Sonoko228.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Sonoko looking at Ran's vessel.]]
Sonoko shows off to Ran what she made in pottery class: a small cup for herself with Makoto's name on it and a large cup for Makoto with her name on it. Sonoko believe that doing this will have Makoto think of her every time he drinks from it, and in this way he will not forget her and fall in love with another girl. She invites Ran to join the pottery class as well, and Ran thinks of Shinichi and accepts. As Ran works on her project, Sonoko tries to take a sneak peek of what Ran is writing on the cup, but Ran does not let her, and after Sonoko ignores her warnings repeatedly Ran threatens to end their friendship if she ever catches Sonoko in the act. A murder then happens and Conan tranquillizes Sonoko to reveal the truth.

A few days later, Sonoko shows Ran a picture that Makoto has sent her; to her embarrassment, Makoto mistook her cup for a flower pot, and the picture depicts the cup with flowers planted in it.

Makoto eventually passes the test and is able to guard the diamond.

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

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

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

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

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

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

==== Makoto Kyogoku ====
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while on a vacation, when he worked at his father's hotel in his spare time.<ref name=e153-154>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. He later saves her when he takes a knife in the arm for her, to protect her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer.<ref name=e153-154/> This is when Ran finally realizes that he is the famous karate champion. After defeating the killer, he confesses his feelings for her, which leaves Sonoko dumbfounded and flustered.<ref name=e153-154 /> According to Makoto, he originally met Sonoko during one of Ran's tournaments, and loved how feisty and fiery she was in trying to cheer her friend on.<ref name=e153-154/> After this, Sonoko and Makoto begin a long distance relationship.<ref name=e153-154/>
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=e266-268>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=e457-458/> Sonoko loves to plot romantic rendezvous with Makoto,<ref name=e457-458/>; he tries to go along, though things don't always go the way Sonoko imagines they will.<ref name=e266-268/><ref name=e457-458/> He often warns her against dressing to revealingly, afraid she'll attract predatory men as a result.<ref name=e153-154/><ref name=e266-268/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=e217-218>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=e228-229>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her purse, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=e304>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him Valentine's chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=e266-268/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=e266-268/>

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{nihongo|'''Kazuha Toyama'''|遠山和葉|Tōyama Kazuha}}, also known as '''Kirsten Thomas''' in the [[Funimation]] dub and Katrina Tolliver in the video game ''[[Detective Conan: The Mirage of Remembrance|Case Closed: The Mirapolis Investigation]]'', is character in the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is a childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Heiji Hattori]].

Despite the names given for her in the English Dub of the anime and video game, the [[Viz Media]] manga retains her original Japanese name.

== Background ==
[[File:Cuffed.png|thumb|left|200px|Heiji and Kazuha cuffed together as children.]]
Kazuha and [[Heiji Hattori]] have been close friends since childhood. Their fathers work together at the Osaka Police station, where Kazuha's father, [[Ginshiro Toyama]] is a close friend and partner of Heiji's father, Police Chief [[Heizo Hattori]]. Her 43-year-old mother is mentioned in episode 573, where she wanted Heiji to bring Kazuha her drink bottle.

At one time in their youth, Heiji had had the unfortunate idea of locking themselves together with a set of old handcuffs which had no key and could not be unlocked; as a result they had to involuntarily spend time together even on some rather intimate occasions (i.e., bathroom visits) before the cuffs could be removed. As a reminder of this 'closeness' and for good luck, Kazuha fashioned two identical lucky charms, each incorporating a chain link from the cuffs, which she and Heiji have been wearing ever since.<ref name="StabbedWallet">Manga Volume 19: File 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref> At some later point, Kazuha added a picture of Heiji into her own charm pouch.<ref>Manga Chapters 693-695: Kazuha's Charm Case</ref>

After Heiji met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and discovered his [[Shinichi Kudo|true identity]], he talked about him so frequently and enthusiastically to Kazuha that she became convinced that Heiji was in love with a Tokyo girl named 'Kudo'. When Heiji invited Conan, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] to Osaka, Kazuha spied on them, believing Ran to be 'Kudo.' At an okonomiyaki restaurant, when Heiji got up for a moment, Kazuha sat down in his seat and warned Ran to back off him, at which point Heiji returned, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Heiji laughed at Kazuha's behavior.<ref name="SerialKillerofNaniwa">Manga Volume 19: Chapters 5-8 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref> In their next meeting, Kazuha continued to treat Ran coldly, pointing out that Ran and Heiji's clothes had coincidentally matched the last few times they had been together. In response, Ran immediately changed clothes, after which point the girls became much friendlier.<ref name="Wedding Murder">Manga Volume 21: File 211 (Wedding Murder Case)</ref> As time passes, Kazuha and Ran grows into close friends, and Kazuha always sleeps in Ran's room whenever she stays in Tokyo.

== Personality ==
Kazuha has a hot temper and can be highly critical of people around her. She has been hinted to have a high level of intelligence, as she was able to deduce a dying message in an episode even more quickly than either Ran or Kogoro could (albeit with slight help from Heiji). Moreover, she is highly confrontational, and unafraid of letting others know about her dislike, even showing no hesitation or concern in confronting Heiji in a men's restroom. This trait leads to frequent shouting matches with Heiji, but it also allowed her and Ran to forge a strong friendship despite the fact that Kazuha, believing that Ran was Heiji's new girlfriend, took an initial deep dislike to Ran out of jealousy. Affection and approval are apparently much harder for her to express, most significantly with regard to Heiji; she is perfectly aware of her feelings for him and, after a few initial attempts to deny it to Ran, openly discusses her love for Heiji with her. However, even when a good opening appears to discuss her feelings with him, she instead panics and does her best to pretend that she and Heiji are 'only friends'. Although she has tried and failed to confess to Heiji twice already, Kazuha is determined to make her feelings clear to him one day.

She also has a marked belief in spirits, good-luck charms, and other superstitions. Right from her first experience, she displayed her belief in the importance of hers and Heiji's omamori, charms which Kazuha made to protect her and Heiji from harm. And indeed, during the case in which this is revealed, Heiji lent Conan his omamori, and the metal inside the charm stopped a knife blade that could have killed Conan.<ref name="SerialKillerofNaniwa"/> On subsequent cases, Kazuha is quick to attribute mysterious shadows and strange events to ghosts and other malignant spirits, which usually sends Ran into panic as well, though she herself does not possess a morbid fear of ghosts as much as Ran does.

In the anime original episodes 965-968, it was revealed she loves kaiju like Gomera and Kamen Yaiba.

She also like any normal girl characters screams at sight of a dead body.

== Appearance ==
Kazuha has dark brown hair which she always wears in a neck-length pony tail, and uses ribbons of different colors (usually matching that of her clothes) to secure her hair. She rarely lets her hair down, and when it is not tied up in a ponytail, it falls down to her mid-back/waist. She has green eyes and fair complexion, her skin tone being even lighter than Ran's. She has a fairly slim and curvaceous, athletic build just like Ran herself. It is shown that Kazuha is of around the same height as Ran and slightly shorter than Heiji. Kazuha's way of dressing ranges from shirt and jeans to (occasionally) dresses. Despite being tomboyish, she is known to be attractive. Multiple men have shown interest in her, though she is usually oblivious, and her innocence in turn annoys Heiji.

== Abilities ==
=== Martial arts ===
Kazuha is a 2-dan in aikido, showing great proficiency in various body-locks and throws. It is a skill she has exhibited multiple times to taking down several criminals, even when much larger than her.<ref name="SerialKillerofNaniwa"/> Her aikido skills also make Heiji afraid of her and her strength, likewise warning criminals to not attack her.

=== Intelligence and deduction ===
Kazuha seems to be rather intelligent, as shown in [[Which One's Deduction Show| Episode Which One's Deduction Show]] when [[Heiji]] gave a clue about the code which Kazuha understood while neither Ran or Kogoro could figure out. She also took up karuta and held her own against [[Momiji Ooka]], implying that Kazuha is quick-minded and has a good memory. In movie 21, Kazuha said she joined the karuta club. She played against Momiji who is very skilled. Despite losing, she was able to go until last match.

=== Cooking ===
Whenever Kazuha visits Ran, she often helps her with cooking or they'll occupy themselves by cooking, as seen in Heiji Hattori's Vampire Mansion episode where they made gyozas instead of chasing the killer because they were scared.

This, it turned out, was a ploy to distract the lawyer, but when it failed, Heiji, with a gun to his head, told Kazuha that "I meant it when I said my last words were for you" and promised, if they survived, to tell them to her "until you're sick of hearing it."

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Heiji Hattori ===
{{main|Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama}}
Heiji's relationship with Kazuha is a very close one; they were childhood friends, and have stayed close through the years. Their relationship is identified as a romantic one by other characters and fans alike, even though they claim that they don't have that sort of relationship or feelings for each other. However, it has been shown that he becomes visibly jealous when he sees Kazuha with other guys, becoming distracted throughout the whole case. At one point, after a certain case, while looking at Kazuha, his thoughts read: "Fool. You're too naive. I promise you, as long as you're with me, I'll never let anyone hurt you." Kazuha knows she has feelings for Heiji, as she shows this by being protective and chasing off other women that might have an interest in him. In on of the mangas, Kazuha attempts to confess her feelings after finding out that Shinichi had done so with Ran (in the [[Holmes' Revelation]] Arc), but is unlucky because on hearing that, Heiji ran off to tease Shinichi/Conan for it. She once even attempted to sacrifice herself to save Heiji during a case in which they accidentally both fell off a cliff (episodes named [[And Then There Were No Mermaids]]). When the branch they were both hanging on started breaking, she stabbed him in his hand with an arrow of love, to force him to let her fall; however, Heiji still held on, saying that he will not let go of her, and managed to pull both of them to safety. Heiji is clueless when it comes to love, but he has now realised he has feelings for Kazuha ever since the Ebisu Bridge incident. Consequently, he constantly tries to bring her to romantic spots so he can simultaneously confess to her and one-up Shinichi's confession to Ran. Thus far, he has not been successful since he's been interrupted each time by cases, and once, the Japanese self-defence [[Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend]].
Also, they have the same situation as Ran and Shinichi, being childhood friends that have romantic feelings for each other and have the same background as them. Heiji is a teenage detective and she is a police's daughter, like Ran is a police's daughter and Shinichi is a teenage detective. They are even called the 'Ran and Shinichi of Osaka' by fans of the series, since they're so similar. Although they are constantly fighting, they both are very close friends. It is also shown in the seventh movie, Crossroad in the Ancient Capital, that Kazuha is Heiji's first love, though he didn't know it was her at the time. In [[OVA 9]], Heiji and Kazuha have been shown to be a famous couple, who are close to marriage. However, all this was just a feverish hallucination of Conan's.

=== Ran Mouri ===
Despite having rather different temperaments and personalities, Kazuha and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have several things in common, including: proficiency in a martial art, father's connection to police work and detective work, and detective-obsessed childhood love interests. Kazuha was initially cold and rude to Ran, suspecting her of being interested in Heiji. However, thanks to Kazuha's frankness and Ran's accommodating nature, the girls quickly overcame this misunderstanding. In episode 141, Ran and Kazuha's friendship grows after Ran quickly changes shirts to prove to Kazuha that she didn't wear the striped pattern because Heiji did. In Episode 166 Ran and Kazuha become close friends, both even poking fun at each other for having crime loving boyfriends. They have since become close friends and seem to regard each other as confidantes, since they are in similar romantic situations: Ran and Shinichi cannot confess their feelings for each other, as Shinichi is, aside from telephone calls, physically absent from her life, and Kazuha and Heiji cannot confess their feelings for each other due to their own stubbornness and irascibility. While Conan/Shinichi and Heiji are on cases together, Ran and Kazuha almost always spend the time together. When Kazuha visits the Mouris' in Tokyo with Heiji, she is shown to share Ran's bed.

=== Shinichi Kudo ===
[[File:M7-Shinichi and Kazuha.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi and Kazuha.]]
Kazuha respects [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] as a great detective like Heiji. Sometimes she refers to Shinichi as a better detective than Heiji, much to Heiji's jealousy and annoyance.
When Heiji was tricked into attending a fake contest and went missing, Kazuha said that she would have been much better at ease if Kudo had been with him.

'''{{nihongo|Hiroshi Agasa|阿笠博士|Agasa Hiroshi}}''', most commonly referred to as '''{{nihongo|Professor Agasa|阿笠博士|Agasa-hakase}}''', and known in the [[Funimation]] dub as '''Hershel Agasa''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Agasa is [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s next door neighbor and family friend. The first person to [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|learn]] that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually Shinichi, he invented all of Conan's special [[gadgets]] as well as the [[Detective Boys]]' badges and flashlight-watches.

== Background ==
[[Image:Agasa's house.JPG‎|thumb|left|200px|Agasa's house]]
Hiroshi Agasa is an inventor and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s next-door neighbor. He makes his living with a wide number of patents and inventions, including video games (of which the [[Detective Boys]] are enthusiastic test players). While many of his inventions are useless or have even damaged his in-house research laboratory, Agasa has been successful enough to live in a large house and even rebuild it when necessary. He has been a friend of Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] since their childhood years.

After Shinichi was shrunk by the [[APTX 4869]], the first person he met and entrusted himself to was Agasa. After having been convinced that the little boy was Shinichi, Agasa was also the first one to advise Shinichi to exercise caution in his pursuit of the [[Black Organization]]. He also helped Shinichi in establishing his new identity as [[Conan Edogawa]], including constructing several gadgets which help Shinichi in carrying on his detective work surreptitiously. In order to perfect Conan's cover, he also enrolled him in [[Teitan Elementary]] and thus came to know the children who would form the Detective Boys. When [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano]] fled the clutches of the Black Organization, she fled to Shinichi's house but collapsed from exhaustion near Agasa's doorstep. Agasa subsequently took her in, learned about her true identity and helped her establish her new identity as Ai Haibara. He also entrusted Shinichi's parents with the secret about what has happened to their son.

Ever since these beginnings, Agasa has been an invaluable friend for Shinichi and the Detective Boys as a confidant, paternal friend, and someone to hang out with. He often takes the children on trips, most of which turn into criminal cases instead.

Agasa owns a Volkswagen Beetle for at least 10 years, but it is quite unreliable and often breaks down in trips. At one point, he owns a Persian rug which can be sold for money to replace his Beetle, but since the rug was involved in a theft, the police is investigating and Agasa hasn't been able to sell it.

By knowing Shinichi and Shiho's identity, Agasa is aware of the existence of Black Organization as well as their crimes. While not confronting them directly, Agasa has been quite active in helping Shinichi and his allies planning against them. Agasa is entrusted by Shinichi when it comes to such cases.

=== Childhood and relatives ===
Agasa went to Teitan Elementary<ref name=410p>Manga Volume 40, File 7, Agasa's First Love</ref> and then Okuho middle school.<ref>Manga chapter 572 page 10</ref> He met [[Fusae Campbell|Fusae Kinoshita]] during sixth grade, though she moved away during the fall term and his family moved from Tokyo to the countryside soon after the term ended.<ref> Manga chapter 410 pages 08-10</ref>

Agasa has a rich accountant uncle named Kurisuke Agasa who died 50 years before the present timeline at the age of 38.<ref>Manga chapter 111 page 06</ref> The uncle liked gadgets. Kurisuke's sister, Teiko, was alive until a year ago when she passed away at age 76.<ref>Manga chapter 111 page 07</ref> Agasa’s cousin’s granddaughter is of the right age to be introduced to Takagi.<ref>Manga chapter 208</ref>

== Personality ==
Hiroshi Agasa is a jovial, caring and outgoing person and has many friends in his community, a fact which helped him in his covering up of Conan's and Haibara's true origins (he simply claims that they are the children of his friends and acquaintances). Agasa is highly intelligent, having achieved at least one advanced degree and managing to invent a slew of useful gadgets. He is especially proud of his inventions, and their quality must have been recognized, since they have already been used during official events<ref>[[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2|Episode 157: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] where his "Tropical Rainbow" explosive is used during a celebration to destroy the Haido City museum.</ref>. While a bachelor, he is very paternal and enjoys the company of the [[Detective Boys]]. Agasa has a special love for pasta and tomato juice.

== Appearance ==
Agasa is an average size man with slightly-overweight frame. Looking somewhat older than his actual age, he is bald on the top of his head with the rest of his hair silver. He sports thick eyebrows and a mustache and a somewhat bulbous nose. He wears round glasses and is regularly seen in his lab attire

== Non-canon plot overview ==

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ===
[[File:Conan&Agasa.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Professor Agasa with Conan]]
[[Conan]] treats Agasa 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 creates the necessary gadgets for Shinichi to play Conan's role and works hard to ensure this secret identity is safe, even from Shinichi's close friends like Ran and Sonoko. Agasa has also acted as mouthpiece for Conan when deducing crimes if Kogoro Mouri is not around or it's not safe to tranquilize him. Agasa has been supportive of Shinichi and Ran's relationship.
In private, Agasa calls Conan by his real name Shinichi. Sometimes he tends to slip and nearly exposes Shinichi's identity to public.

=== Ran Mouri ===
Since childhood, Ran and Shinichi would visit Agasa's house to play. While their relationship is not often showcased, Ran treats Agasa like an uncle or grandfather and trusts him with Conan. The professor seems to know when something is different and/or bothering Ran. Agasa has many times saved Ran, even using his body to block Ran from being shot. Seeing Agasa and the others getting hurt from being around her, she rans away to keep them safe. Agasa has been supportive of Shinichi and Ran's relationship and would often tease them both.

=== Ai Haibara ===
{{main|Agasa family}}
The relationship between [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] and Professor Agasa is rather unusual, if not humorous. Despite what their actual (and apparent) ages are, Haibara often times acts more like a mother to the professor, constantly reminding him to watch what he eats. On several occasions, she has removed fattening foods from his reach<ref name=Depths>[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref>, and is attempting to help get him into better shape<ref>Episode 722</ref>. There have also been instances where she'll instinctively step in front of Agasa to protect him from danger.<ref name=Eyes>[[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]]</ref> Out of all the people she's met, Haibara seems most comfortable about acting herself with Agasa; which might be attributed to the fact that he was the one who found her after she escaped the Black Organization, and took her in. Ai grows to love him like a real father and often tries to protect him above anyone else.

Though they only realized the fact some time later, Agasa knew her parents when they were still alive—especially her father, [[Atsushi Miyano]]—even though he didn't know at that time that they'd had children.<ref>Manga Chapter 398: The Torn Friendship, Part 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 423: A Mystery Left by a Visitor</ref>

Unlike with Conan/Shinichi, both in public and in private, Agasa calls Haibara by her alias name Ai, even though he knows her real identity as Shiho Miyano.

=== Yusaku Kudo ===
Agasa and [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] are good friends.

=== Juzo Megure ===
Since Agasa's trips with Detective Boys often lead them to crime scenes, Agasa has met Megure frequently. Megure trusts and listens to Agasa's deduction (which actually comes from Conan using Voice Changing Bowtie, but Conan doesn't have to tranquilize Agasa). They are in good terms with each other, but at one point Megure remarks that Agasa has become a corpse magnet like Mouri.

=== Wataru Takagi ===
For the same reasons, Takagi and Agasa meet frequently and are in good terms with each other.

=== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ===
In the story, Akai and Agasa meet for the first time after Akai fakes his death and becomes Subaru (Akai uses the Voice Changing Choker invented by Agasa to fake his voice as Subaru). Agasa eventually learns about Akai's secret identity and helps him with his disguise. On daily events, Subaru helps Agasa on his inventions or picking up the Detective Boys when he is not around.

Both in public and in private, Agasa calls Akai by his alias name Subaru.

[[Image:Child Agasa.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sixth Grade Agasa with Fusae Campbell]]

=== Fusae Campbell ===
[[Fusae Campbell]], today a successful fashion designer, was Agasa's first love in their childhood years. Because of her half-American heritage she has blonde hair, which made her the target of ridicule among her fellow students and thus very shy; she usually wore a large hat to conceal her hair. Three months after meeting Agasa, her family abruptly moved away, but she promised to return every ten years to a special place to meet him again. However, Agasa could not figure out what location she meant, until the [[Detective Boys]] and Conan find the original note she left behind and help him realize the answer to her clues. While they did not openly talk about their feelings during their brief reunion, there is a hint that their relationship is now beginning to grow.

== 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. Agasa placed 19th in the poll with 36 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. Agasa placed 37th overall.<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>

== Quizzes ==

{{main|Agasa's Quizzes}}

In the non-[[canon]] movies, Agasa usually gives a multiple-choice quiz to the [[Detective Boys]] as a reward or just to test their knowledge. These are mostly based on puns or rearranging the strokes in a character to get the answer.

== Name origin ==
Agasa's name comes from mystery writer [[wikipedia:Agatha Christie|'''Agatha''' Christie]]. His first name '''Hiroshi''' is a pun as it is written with the same kanji for {{nihongo|''hakase''|博士|professor}}. Agasa's English given name "Herschel" likely comes from the physician friend of [[Haibara Ai|V. I. Warshawski]], Dr. Charlotte “Lotty” ''Herschel''.

Additionally, his great uncle and aunt, '''{{nihongo|Kurisuke|栗介}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Teiko|定子}}''', get their names from the Japanese pronunciation of '''{{nihongo|Christie|クリスティ|Kurisuti}}''' (''Kurisuke'' obviously comes from ''Kurisu'' (クリス), but ''Teiko'' comes from ''Tei'' (テイ), and alternate writing for ''Ti'' (ティ)).

* Professor Agasa's car is a yellow [[Vehicles_in_Detective_Conan#Volkswagen_Beetle|Volkswagen Beetle]].
*He is hinted to be [[Konosuke Jii]]'s "professor friend" who repaired Kaito Kuroba's bike in Magic Kaito [[Magic Kaito Volume 5#Sun Halo|Sun Halo]].

* Agasa seems extremely lucky at winining food ticket prizes, similarly to Ran's luck astonishingly good luck and instincts when it comes to gambling, lotteries, and any game of chance wins, like in [[Episode 814]] in which he won a ticket to a cake buffet, or [[Episode 843]] in which he won a meal ticket.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Non-canon plot overview ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== 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. Megure placed 24th in the poll with 17 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>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Detective 5.jpg|thumb|right|Maigret was featured by Gosho Aoyama in the fifth volume.]]
"Juzo Megure" comes from '''[[Wikipedia: Jules Maigret|Jules Maigret]]''', a fictional Paris police detective created by the writer Georges Simenon. Maigret and Megure physically resemble one another as well, both are stocky and somewhat overweight. Megure's first name "Juzo" has also been used as a pun on thirteen, the Japanese numeral.

== Quotes ==
{{cquote|No matter what circumstances, there is no justify taking another’s life!|Talking to the murderer|[[Episode 456]]}}

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

'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' temporarily portrayed Kaitou Kid eight years following Toichi's death in an effort to lure out Toichi's murderers. Jii ceases being Kid and becomes Kaito's assistant when Kaito dons the mantle of Kaitou Kid himself. Since then, Jii has occasionally been a decoy Kid on Kaito's behalf, but more commonly he assists on heists in other ways.

{{main|Kaito Kuroba}}
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|left]]
'''{{nihongo|Kaito Kuroba|黒羽快斗|Kuroba Kaito}}''' is the current Kaitou Kid. Kaito is a second-year student at Ekoda High School Class 2-B alongside his childhood friend [[Aoko Nakamori]], the witch [[Akako Koizumi]], and transfer student detective [[Saguru Hakuba]]. Kaito discovers his father's identity as the original Kaitou Kid after eight years following his death thanks to a secret room inside his house as well as talking with his father's attendant and friend, Konosuke Jii. Wanting to pick up where Jii left off, Kaito continues to be Kaitou Kid in an effort to lure out his father's murderers by making Kid a world-famous thief once again. It isn't until the ''Blue Birthday'' heist that the murderers appear and reveal that they are searching for the doublet red-colored gem [[Pandora Gem|Pandora]], said to shed tears of immortality during the passing of a particular comet. Upon realizing the [[Magic Kaito Organization|organization]]'s aim and that his father was killed for his refusal to aid them in retrieving Pandora, Kaito vows as Kaitou Kid to find the Pandora gem first and shatter it into pieces.<ref>[[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Blue_Birthday|Magic Kaito Volume 3, Chapter 7: Blue Birthday]].</ref> Kaito's mother is aware that Kaito discovered Toichi's secret room and has taken up the mantle of Kaitou Kid.<ref name=MKf1 />

== Personality ==
=== Toichi as Kid ===
[[File:Elder Kid.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Toichi Kuroba as Kaitou Kid]]
Not much is given about Toichi as Kaitou Kid. However, we do know that at some point in time, a dark organization forced him to steal gems to find [[Pandora Gem |Pandora]]. His refusal led to his death in a "magic accident."

=== Jii as Kid ===
After the death of Toichi, Jii lived by himself. Over the course of eight years, he grew angrier and angrier until he donned the costume of Kaitou Kid in order to lure out the organization that killed Toichi. He was only dressed as Kid twice before Kaito took over.

=== Kaito as Kid ===
[[File:Kid seducing Ran.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kid seduces Ran by tricking her into believing he is really Shinichi]]
In both civilian and costumed life, Kaitou Kid is a compulsive magician who is drawn to any challenge just for the sheer thrill of overcoming all hazards in the end. Kid is infamous for having a rather overconfident (close to the point of arrogance) attitude, always preferring to create as big a bang as possible. He loves nothing more than leading the police in wild goose chases, letting them get within a hair's breadth of catching him, before exiting one way or another. Seemingly having a soft-spot for his fans, there has been more than one occasion when Kid has refused to show when the police tried to bar the general public from witnessing his act. Generally, when these instances occur, one of Kid's tricks rely, one way or another, on his ability to blend in with a crowd.

Kaitou Kid is also quite a charmer, seeming to always know just what to say to the ladies to leave them speechless. Kid hates to see others get hurt, and he never hesitates in leaping to rescue someone, whether physically or mentally. Despite his low reputation in some quarters, Kid does have a sense of honor, in as much as that he decides to leave the loot behind if it has no further purpose other than having challenged his trickster skills, doesn't contain Pandora, or when a more humane background stands behind their existence. These qualities are some of the reasons why he and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] occasionally end up as allies in a common cause.

For some as yet unexplained reason, Kaito suffers from a severe case of ichthyophobia (fear of fish).

== Appearance ==
[[File:Kaitou Kid Manga.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Kaito Kuroba]] as Kaitou Kid]]
=== Toichi as Kid ===
The classic Kaitou Kid outfit was originally developed for one of his stage performances to honor Arsène Lupin, but he decided to use it as his thief outfit after saving [[Phantom Lady]].

=== Jii as Kid ===
Jii donned the costume of Kaitou Kid, but used a smiling mask, in order to lure out the organization that killed Toichi. He was only dressed as Kid twice before Kaito took over.

=== Kaito as Kid ===
Kid has dark brown hair (black in Magic Kaito 1412) with fringe that ends just above his eyes, but the rest of his hair is normally covered by a white top hat with a blue ribbon band. When dressed in his normal outfit, his right eye is covered by a white monocle that has a dangling green charm with a white clover imprinted on it. Kid's outfit consists of a white suit jacket on top of a blue shirt with a red tie and white dress slacks. The white [[Hang Glider Cape]] is attached to the jacket at Kid's shoulders. Kid wears blue socks with white Oxford style shoes with white soles. In his original appearances Kid wore white loafer type shoes.

Kid has been seen wearing black shirts and pants along with a black hat to help cover his face, usually when doing information gathering for heists or when he has his "audience" at his heists looking elsewhere. Apart from these two outfits, Kid is a master of disguise and has been seen disguising as several people throughout the course of ''Detective Conan'' and ''Magic Kaito''.

At several instances, it has been demonstrated that Kid shares a close natural likeness with [[Shinichi Kudo]].<ref>[[Volume 16#Kaitou Kid and the Black Star|Manga Chapters 156-159: Kaitou Kid and the Black Star]]</ref> This, on occasion (particularly in the non-canon appearances), allows him to pass himself off as Shinichi whenever needed, without requiring a special disguise.<ref>[[The Last Wizard of the Century|Movie 03: ''The Last Wizard of the Century'']]</ref><ref>[[Magician of the Silver Sky|Movie 08: ''Magician of the Silver Sky'']]</ref><ref>[[The Lost Ship in the Sky|Movie 14: ''The Lost Ship in the Sky'']]</ref><ref>[[Kid in Trap Island|OVA 10: ''Kid in Trap Island'']]</ref>

== Name origin ==
Kaitou Kid was originally known as "Kaitou 1412" ("kaitou" meaning "phantom thief" in Japanese"), but the exact origin of that name is unknown. According to what Sonoko told Ran, the "1412" part is rumored to come from the secret number that may have been given to him by an international organization like the FBI, the CIA, or Interpol. The information about the number was supposedly leaked to the media, leading to that number being used to describe the thief.<ref>File 156</ref>

Sometime later, a reporter scribbled the number 1412, referencing the thief, in a hastily-written note. This note was seen by [[Yusaku Kudo]], who misread the numbers as "KID." Thus, Yusaku was the one who invented the name Kaitou Kid.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=55 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1996-18-01 |isbn=4-09-120628-X|chapter=File 3 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=151}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
* {{nihongo|'''Kuroba'''|黒羽 or クロバ|}} (Kaito and Toichi's family name) is also a way to pronounce {{nihongo|"clover"|クロバー|kurobaa}} in Japanese (the only difference is a long vowel). This is most likely why a clover appears on Kaitou Kid's monocle. Additionally, in the manga's second chapter Kid disguises himself as an old man named Count Clover. Also, Gosho's [[Animal_Crossing_promotional_hints|Animal Crossings]] characters are named after the playing card suits, with "Clover" introducing itself as Kaito Kuroba and dressing as Kaitou Kid (except with a black top hat).
* Kaitou Kid was clearly modeled after the fictional gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, by French author Maurice Leblanc. In the French-speaking world, Lupin is as famous as Sherlock Holmes is in the English-speaking world. Interestingly, Holmes appeared in several Arsène Lupin stories; however, after Conan Doyle protested due to copyright laws, Leblanc changed the name to "Herlock Sholmes."
* Kaitou Kid signs his heist notes with a drawing of his face in abstract. He re-draws this insignia for each note, so that police will know that it was truly him and not an imitator using a scanned copy of a former insignia.
* He made a cameo in [[A Challenge Letter to Shinichi Kudo ~Prologue Until Goodbye~]], in his [[Hang Glider Cape]] when the bomb explodes in mid-air.
* In [[The Last Wizard of the Century]], the police attribute 134 cases of thievery to Kaitou Kid, fifteen of which have been overseas including America, France, Germany, and 12 other places. In total, 152 gems have been stolen with a net worth of 38,925,000,000 yen but this is obviously not considered canonical in the main story of Detective and Kaito Kid .
* Akako Koizumi once dressed up as the Kaitou Kid to trick [[Saguru Hakuba]] into thinking Kaito was innocent. During her escape with the target jewel, she screamed in a revealingly girly manner, causing Aoko to deduce that the Kaitou Kid must be a homosexual.
* In both the Japanese and English dub, Kaito Kuroba/Kaitou Kid shares the same voice actor as that of Shinichi Kudo.
* Kaitou Kid apparently knows how to drive as shown when he was disguised as Kogoro Mouri in Volume 30: Sunset Manor Case.

{{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 de-aged 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 on numerous occasions in different anime series (i.e. mainly cameo appearances) as well as other media.

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

[[File: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 businessman 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 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}}
[[File:Agasa shinichi.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi as Conan in his shrunken form with Hiroshi Agasa first time met and Professor Agasa will go to
Report to the police about this kid.]]

=== 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 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 School]] 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> In the beginning he found the kids annoying, but he started to warm up to them and even gives them missions to accomplish.

[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|thumb|200px|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 many later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterward that Shinichi told him what to say.

=== Encounter Black Organization ===
Soon after being shrunk, Conan sets the plan to pursue and arrest the Black Organization members. Initial attempts were in vain until Haibara appears and starts giving clues on their whereabouts. However, in some of his early attempts, Conan tends to underestimate the ability of the Organization, leading to situations where he or his close friends being harmed and almost killed. Once understood the Organization and having allies to help, among them Shuichi Akai, who had been undercover in the organization and knows their ways, his later plans are more successful to foil Black Organization's plans, although he hasn't been able to expose the Black Organization and arrest their members yet.
{{clear}}

== 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|left|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]
[[File:Ran conan do not tell.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi (Picture from the "[[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode one]]" version).]]
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 has shrunken into a child. As Shinichi, his deductive ability earned him the monikers "[[Wikipedia: Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and "Savior of the Japanese police force". Conan maintains 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".
Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he is 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.
[[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan whispers to [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]]
The only police officers with whom Conan can speak professionally are the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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.

While he thinks that criminals should be punished, he also seems willing to give culprits, who have attempted murder due to misunderstandings and fail, a second chance and let them off the hook.<ref>The Celebrities' Secret</ref><ref>Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter</ref><ref>Scuba Diving Murder Case</ref><ref>Poisoned Fisherman Attempted Murder Case</ref>

After he had one time failed to stop the culprit from committing suicide,<ref>[[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case|Episodes 11: Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]].</ref> he began to believe that a detective who has cornered a killer and just let him kill himself is no better than a murderer, and therefore he tries to do everything to stop it. At times when he fails to save the killer, it haunts him. At first, he's callous and unempathetic: in The Bandage Man Villa murder case, when the culprit threatens to commit suicide, Shinichi calls his bluff by outright telling him to do it. However, soon after that Shinichi suffers through his own Norbury with the Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, during which a culprit commits suicide because Shinichi identified them without thinking ahead to how the culprit might react. The next two cases were, a culprit planning to commit suicide to have Shinichi removing the lethal tools before confronting them and placing officers around the perimeter to prevent the culprit from jumping respectively—and in each instance, Shinichi is haunted by the death of the culprit in the Moonlight Sonata case, enough to snap at Hattori for offhandedly suggesting it may have been better if they let the culprit of the day kill themself, stating that a detective that allows that is "no better than a murderer himself." The Detective's Nocturne case caps off this development arc, with Shinichi accompanying and befriending a suicidal murderer to form an emotional connection and convince them not to kill themself.

However, an innate characteristic that he has, and probably had as Shinichi may be due to being a detective. Whenever he hears a scream or sees a culprit, he will immediately and without hesitation run toward the sound or culprit instinctively.

If he is with another adult, or detective, he will most likely be in front of 2 people running toward the sound.
If by himself or with some other non-detective, he will still be running toward the sound.
Whether it is a victim or a culprit, he will be one of the first 2 people.

If it is to a victim, and another detective or officer is present, he may hang back a little, but he has no hesitations to checking on the victim, looking for clues, or going after culprits.

And while it may have been somewhat forced on, Shinichi/Conan stops being as attention-seeking as he was in his original body.
Subtle, but during "The 3 'K's of Osaka" story, Conan/Shinichi didn't want to investigate the case because his soccer idol was a suspect (and later confirmed to be the actual culprit). Afterward, he stopped thinking like this, deciding that even if his friends, family, or someone close to either one is a suspect, he will consider that person a suspect until proven otherwise (such as Genta's dad being a possible suspect in "The Culprit is Genta's Dad" or Ran in "Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid").
In regards to his attitude in dealing with mysterious and dangerous Black Organization (B.O.), Shinichi initially and arrogantly believed he could easily take them down, taking only minimum precautions in the safety of himself and others. For example, when a B.O. member was suspected to be near in the "Reunion With The Black Organization" arc, Conan's way of protecting Haibara from being recognized is simply putting glasses on her; unfortunately, there was a B.O. member (Pisco) who instantly knew that Haibara was the shrunken Shiho Miyano and would have revealed her identity had he not been killed by Gin. It could've ended in more tragedy since Gin was very close to killing Haibara. This incident was a major wake-up call to the young detective that the organization isn't as easy to take down as he thought and that if he made a mistake, he or his loved ones could die. And while Shinichi/Conan still has a bit of a reckless side, he now asks for help when dealing with the B.O. and formulating plans to keep him and his allies safe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Conan full face.png|thumb|right|200px|]]
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 blazer 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.

Additionally, much like Hattori and Shinichi, Conan is incredibly popular. Ayumi and Haibara both have crushes on him, he has been hit on by girls around his shrunken age repeatedly, and even Jodie and Vermouth have both been charmed by his charisma. One even promised to make him her husband.

=== Detective skills ===
[[File:Glasses Modification(Microphone).PNG|210px|thumb|left|
Conan eavesdrop Police investigation meeting in [[Zero the Enforcer|Conan the movie 22]] to save Kogoro mouri from being a suspect.]]
All of Shinichi's detective skills carry over to his Conan form, although Conan does not 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory 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 to link them to the crime. Conan has an 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 a few people like [[Heiji]], [[Saguru]] and [[Yusaku]] who are at the same detective level as Conan, with Yusaku, be the only person who is noticeably better than 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>

Additionally, in the [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Red, White, Yellow case]], Conan was specifically referred to and asked for help by a classmate.

=== Observation Sense ===
He is highly observant on almost every single thing in his life, whether at a crime scene or his everyday life, whether he is Shinichi or Conan. If he notices anything amiss, he will frequently leave the Detective Boys, or whoever to investigate immediately, esp. if he thinks the organization is involved, but his curiousity knows no bounds.

It is kind of like his brain will not rest, as long as he is awake because he frequently observes everything, and wants to investigate it.

[[Conan Cornered in the Darkness|At one point]], this is why he was kidnapped, and placed in a coffin with a fake bottom, in an old-style hearse, which the kidnappers did not know was going to be sent to the scrapyard and crushed within hours of placing him in there.

He is also a real people watcher and spends a lot of time watching people help determine careers, emotions, what is going on with them to name a few. If need be he will get up, and investigate further.

He frequently notices momentary facial expressions that are only on a person's face for a second or two, which is all it takes for him to register the true emotions of people and various culprits. Such as a suddenly hidden smile upon finding the body of one's spouse, and the list goes on.

Some examples are the following:

In [[Home of Beika's Grenier]], when the old man used a hand to stand up, despite the presence of 4 little children, Conan noticed instantly the look that the old woman gave her husband since he should not have used his hands to stand up in the presence of others.

In [[The Tense Tea Party]], in [[Haido Central Hospital]], Conan was watching [[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]], and instantly noticed how he reacted after a small child was counting down, "Three... Two... One..." and shouted out, "Zero!!" Since Amuro noticed his reaction, he had to cover it up, and say that "'Zero' was one of his nicknames when he was a little child."

This was the first clue to Conan that Amuro may not just be the Black Organization Member Bourbon, but [[Public Security Bureau|something else too]]. During [[The Scarlet Return]], Conan began to deduce from his observations, that Amuro was from the Japanese Secret Police, which became confirmed by the end of the saga.

Even when he was little he was practicing observing details and guessing careers of people, [[Episode 881|not always accurately]], but he was a little boy at the time. This became much more accurate as he became older, and he retained this knowledge when he shrunk down to Conan.

=== Being Watched or Paranoia Sense ===
However, this particular Sense is the sense to know when he is being watched or observed by others. It may be called Paranoia, but it is not Paranoid if someone is really watching or following him, which he can quickly pick up on usually.

This may stem from his involvement with the [[Black Organization]], and others.

It may also help that his parents like to watch their son in disguise, and [[Yukiko Kudo|esp. his Master Of Disguise Mother]], with his [[Yusaku Kudo|Mystery Author father's]] habit of testing his son's observations and deductions from the time when he was a young child.

This ability is even more important due to the Black Organization wanting both [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] and his [[Shinichi Kudo|teenage self]] 'Dead," since it helps to protect them.

This sense comes in a lesser degree as well:

Although Conan can speak professionally with 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, as well as everyone, who know his identity, it does cause problems with everyone else.
He can even speak this way to the [[Detective Boys]].

This Sense also allows him to eventually realize when he is being highly descriptive, and rambling with adult knowledge, for him to quickly cover it up with "saw it on Tv'" "Heard it from [[Kogoro Mouri|Uncle]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], or [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]," and to begin talking and acting like a kid, even though the Detective Boys do not get why he suddenly goes all child-like, which is the only time he does.

It may also help him to know when [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] is suspicious that he is Shinichi Kudo, so he has to attempt to behave more like a child to mislead her for her protection.

This sense also allows him to determine if it is safe to use his tranquilizer on someone for the "sleeping Detective" routine. If he is being too closely watched, he has to continue to give hints, and possibly throughout the entire deduction, if he is unable to tranquilize someone: Kogoro, [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], or someone else, if necessary.

This sense did not seem to activate at all at [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|the shrine]], when he was talking to Jodie, however, after a disguised Bourbon had a little chat with Jodie, and secretly placed a listening device in her sleeve, he wandered off, so that he can continue listening to them.

However, with that deceased pickpocketing case, he and the other pickpocket victims were brought to the crime scene, so he continued listening to Jodie and Conan's conversation, although he did not appear to watch or pay any attention to Jodie, Conan, Agasa, or any of the 4 kids, he probably had a good view of [[Haibara]], unlike every other time, [[Sweet and Cold Delivery Service|when she attempts to hide her face from him]].

If he was visually watching intently, Conan would probably have picked it up, but Bourbon's observations were done in a way, that did not place Conan on high alert, except for when Jodie kept bringing up "Shuu."

Needless to say, after the [[Kogoro in the Bar]] case, when Takagi told him some information, he was really on high alert, and this sense may not have activated due to his panic mode, which was still evident at the beginning of [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well]] case, although he was being observed by Bourbon, who was listening around the corner, however for several hours later, he did appear to be quite paranoid, and maybe that is why it did not appear to activate because he was already on high alert and frightened at the time.

Now, this sense is sometimes just a fleeting sense, however, something does seem to activate it, even if it was just momentarily, but it does leave a hint that someone might be watching him.

=== Speed Reader ===
In [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], he was shown to be able to read through hospital records at a lightning-fast speed.

=== Killer Radar ===
This radar is not completely accurate, but at times, he only has to see a person to know that they are the killer.

In the first episode, he could sense that [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] were killers, but that did not stop him from tailing Vodka, only to be knocked out by Gin, and fed a [[Apoptoxin 4869|poison pill, which made him shrink to the body of a 7-year-old]].

In [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion]], he knew who the killer was within minutes of the body being discovered, and merely had to get the evidence and figure out the trick.

There are many other instances as well.

In [[The Mysterious Woman With Amnesia Case]], he probably would have picked up on the amnesiac woman being a killer, but she did have amnesia, although he highly suspected when he saw her hands, which are the hands of someone who works with wire. He picked up that she was a hitwoman, who specialized in killing by use of a wire garrote, which she used to strangle her victims.

In one episode, someone fell from a balcony, and Conan instantly knew this woman was the killer. The police brought up the information of her husband being killed during a robbery a while back.

After she was questioned and was allowed to leave, Conan began acting and begging her to let him ride in her expensive-looking car, and she did. They left without [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].

He even managed to have her take him to see her place.

After she left him alone, he began investigating, and around the time of his deduction, Kogoro called him, and the call ended soon afterward.

When Conan stated that he knows that she is responsible for the death of her husband, and the guy who just fell, she threatened to kill him, and he lets her know that he hit redial on the phone, and Kogoro stated, "The police are on there way."

=== Suicide Alertness ===
This sense allows him to determine if a person, and most likely the culprit is likely to commit suicide, which would probably be a result of the deduction stage of a case.
Sometimes, it may be simply obvious, with the culprit stating their suicidal intentions, but it is not usually that way, and Conan's sense was developed after a specific incident.

In [[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]], Conan figured out that the serial killer planned to die, like his father, and before their mind could be changed, the culprit threw Conan through the window, just before the building went up in flames. Since that incident, Conan is more determined to take the suicidal choice away from the culprits.

In [[Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case]], Conan had asked, [[Heiji]], "If he ever killed anyone before," stating that he feels that letting a person commit suicide when it can be stopped is the same as killing the person oneself.
While Conan was talking with Heiji, he was also replacing the gasoline with water to stop the culprit's Murder/Suicide.

In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken.

The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency if Kogoro cannot name the killer and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].

After [[the Detective Boys]] managed to do the footwork, Conan was able to finish solving the case, but he first had to stop the gunman from committing a murder/suicide, so he bluffed that the sister killed herself.
After the gunman was arrested, Conan finished solving the case, out of earshot of the suicidal man and named the killer, who is not who they thought it was.

In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], Conan quickly figured out that the woman in the agency's bathroom was the killer of the "accused deceased guy.
After [[Bourbon|Amuro]], [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], Ran, and Conan escorted her home to her apartment, then Conan behaved like he was desperate to use the bathroom, which made sense, since a corpse was on the toilet seat of the apartment until the police removed it, and it is still a crime scene.

When everyone else went to the kitchen for tea or something, Conan rushed to the bathroom and quickly went in the other direction to investigate the apartment. Most likely, he discovered bugs, and especially a bug in the suitcase with another corpse, which was under the bed.

When he was finished with his investigation, he left the apartment and waited for her.

After Masumi called Ran, Amuro and Kogoro realized there are bugs present, and Amuro hung up on Masumi.

Amuro has a bug detector, and while Amuro, Kogoro, and Ran went on the search to discover all of the bugs in the apartment, the woman made up an excuse and immediately bumped into Conan, who was waiting for her.

She agreed to take him with her to a nearby convenience store and gave him some juice, which she drugged with sleeping pills. After he appeared to fall asleep, she continued driving.

When Kogoro, Ran, and Amuro discovered the body and noticed Conan's absence, Kogoro called the culprit/kidnapper, and she stated that Conan will be returned in the morning.

After Kogoro and Amuro did more investigating, and noticing that bank robbery, and that 2 of the suspects are the dead guy in the suitcase and the deceased one at the agency.

Ran told Masumi and Agasa that Conan has been kidnapped, which of course sets the stage for the big rescue scene:

Masumi on her motorcycle

[[Subaru]], [[Agasa]], and [[Haibara]] in Subaru's car, with Haibara wearing the tracking glasses.

Amuro, Ran, and Kogoro are in another Vehicle, with Kogoro in the back seat.

At some point, Conan stopped acting like he was asleep, and gave her his deduction and even helped her to discover which of those 3 women is the third bank robber, who killed her boyfriend in the bank. However, he would not give her the answer straight away, since he told her, "I do not want to lose anyone. I mean you," since he read that she intended to kill the third robber, and then herself.

By bonding with her, he managed to get her to agree to let the police handle it, and to turn herself in, once he told her.
His plan was working splendidly until the third robber, with a shooting gun, entered the car, and grabbed and immobilized Conan, as well as holding tightly to his right wrist, so that he could not tranquilize her, which is where the rescuers came in.

In another episode, Conan was with [[the Detective Boys]], when they came across a man, and after he dropped his lottery tickets, they helped him to pick it up. This man was talking positively about the future, and he even had lunch with the 5 children.

After he left, Conan notified and began teaching the other Detective Boys the signs that this man was about to commit suicide today, and they followed this man to a subway station.

Conan stating, "It'll hurt, you know," referring to jumping in front of the subway train.

Conan and all of the Detective Boys: [[Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko]], [[Ayumi]], and [[Haibara]] told him their evidence that he was about to commit suicide.

Conan even managed to help him to locate the winning lottery ticket that he had lost, which was inside of the eyeglass container that his sick and hospitalized granddaughter gave him. He had not opened it since he lost that ticket. He was contemplating suicide to have his life insurance pay for her operation, thankfully he now has the lottery ticket, which may be able to help his granddaughter.

After all, if he did commit suicide, the insurance company would not have paid it, if they were aware it was a suicide, which thankfully these 5 kids prevented.

Thankfully, Conan began teaching the other Detective Boys some of the signs of a suicidal person, so they may be aware of them next time they find another suicidal person.

=== Bluffing and Telling Lies===
He can bluff if needed to come to the correct deduction. However, he is not a great liar.

Bluffing is giving misinformation, to trip up the culprit. A few examples of Conan's Bluffs are the following:

In [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he stated the incorrect question of number 241 on that Holmes Test to prove that the culprit did not answer any of the 1,000 questions since he knew the test grader was already deceased.

In [[The Case of the Lucky Calico|the Lucky Calico]] case, he told 2 bluffs, although only 1 bluff was discussed:

The first one was to mistake the gender of a male calico, and stating it was a female, to gauge how this "supposed owner" would react since male calico cats are worth a fortune. Conan managed to see the reaction before [[the Detective Boys]] blew it. Either way, this "supposed owner would have backed out if the calico was a female.

The second bluff was discussed when [[Azusa]] stated that she did not know that "when a group of people is together, the cat will always jump to the one in the middle." [[Amuro]] stated that Conan did a bluff so that he can perform his experiment with the calico and the 3 "supposed owners," before remarking that Conan is like a cat sharpening his claws." Amuro also did not state that it was to allow more time to pass, so that the [http://catnip catnip], would not affect [[Taii]] or [[Goro]], so that Taii's true owner can be properly identified.

In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken.

The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency if Kogoro cannot name the killer and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].

After the [[Detective Boys]] managed to do the footwork, Conan was able to finish solving the case, but he first had to stop the gunman from committing a murder/suicide, so he bluffed that the sister killed herself.
After the gunman was arrested, Conan finished solving the case, out of earshot of the suicidal man and named the killer, who is not who they thought it was.

As far as his cover of Conan Edogawa, he does have a hard time keeping others ignorant of his true identity.
It does not help that he behaves more like an adult, when not actively playing with the Detective Boys, and he quickly switches to Adult Mode, if an investigation is in order, due to a crime or something else entirely.

Two major examples of his being a lousy liar:

When he had a hold of [[Kir]]'s shoe, with his bug and transmitter, at the park, she asked him if he followed her, while applying her CIA Lie Test to him.
She made him feel weird, and he did say "no," but she knew that he did follow her, and lied about it. It is a good thing that she previously turned off her camera or wire, so the other [[Black Organization|Black Organization Operatives]] may not kill him. She then thanked him for "picking up her shoe for her," before leaving.

In [[Haido Central Hospital]], [[Amuro]] asked Conan if he remembers his friend, [[Kusuda Rikumichi]], who was a patient, but went missing.
[[The Tense Tea Party|Conan, quickly trying to end that line of questioning from Bourbon, quickly answered, "No."]]

Amuro smiled and told him that he was amazing. He then went to question other people nearby, and returned to Conan, and stated, "Most people are not confident in their memories to instantly remember a person by their name only. Usually, they have to ask questions, before answering."
It is kind of like Amuro was aware of how amazing Conan is at so many different things, but he can't lie to save his life.
It is like Amuro decided to give the kid a tip on how to tell a convincing lie.

=== Strategist ===
He may not have always been a great strategist, but his strategies are becoming much better.

In [[Boy Genta's Misfortune]], he deduced information of the culprit, and ... He may not have organized the stakeout of that building yet, however, he did organize a roadblock with Sato, who got in contact with Yumi in [[The Man from Chicago]], when a [[James Black|foreign man]] was kidnapped. Unfortunately, Yumi did let them through since they were in a police car and dressed as policemen, however when they deduced that Conan came up with a scheme so that the police can surround the culprits, by making it look like they were chasing some kidnappers, who kidnapped some kids. The plan worked wonders. By the way, even James Black the kidnappee, knew who staged his rescue with that ploy, after just one encounter with the five "Detective Boys," and all Conan had to go on was "P & A."

In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], when Conan was on the phone with [[Vodka]], pretending to be the recently found '[[Suguru Itakura|dead guy]],' he successfully managed to move the meet up. He wanted to have the meet before they found out the guy was dead, and he was hoping to get fingerprints, saliva, DNA, etc.

The thing is it may have worked if [[Gin]] did not stop Vodka from touching the item. In short, Gin became aware that someone crafty, like a fox, is after them. In short, Conan forgot, who he was dealing with, the "[[Black Organization|Men in Black]]," and to be more precise, the two that [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|shrunk, and almost killed]] him before.

Conan managed to survive that encounter, but just barely due to Gin discounting something important. At any rate, Conan was stuck in that locker for several hours, and even lost some oxygen, and blacked out for a while. Conan has since that time became much more cautious when dealing with the organization, unfortunately, there is no one-hundred-percent safe way to take on that organization.

In [[Episode 345|Head-To-Head]], after he received an invitation from [[Vermouth]], he asked [[Haibara]] about her, and decided to tranquilize her, and lock her in the basement, and attempted to hide the spare tracking glasses.

He mentioned to [[Agasa]], that [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s name is on the invitation and envelope, and his: Conan Edogawa's name is on the letter, in short, Vermouth knows his identity.

He e-mailed someone and got a reply and a sudden cough.
He inspected his house and found [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother]].

He told his mother about Vermouth, and her knowing his identity. He had her do some disguises.
Yukiko disguised [[Hattori]] as first a teenage Shinichi, and then as the Invisible Man for the party.
She then disguised Conan to took like Haibara.
She then gave herself a Medusa Disguise and accompanied Hattori on the ship with Kudo's invitation.

[[Jodie]] picked up Haibara, who was a disguised Conan, and he told her what to say for Vermouth to reveal herself.

He planned on having her take him into the Organization, but she attempted to kill Jodie, he unmasked himself, and his plan went out the window, when Haibara escaped from the basement, and found the spare tracking glasses, and arrived at the scene since she was tracking Conan.

In [[Clash of Red and Black]], he came up with a few strategies:
He told his plan to [[Akai]], who was heavily involved with both major SECRET strategies.

First, you need a "[[Eisuke Hondo|Prince]] to wake up the [[Kir|sleeping Princess]]," which means Eisuke to wake up his sister, who is continuing to fake her comatose condition.

Then Conan, Akai, Kir, and [[Camel]] are involved in the returning Kir Undercover in the [[Black Organization]], keeping everyone else in the dark, until she is back undercover.

Then Conan came up with the plan to fake Akai's death by out-guessing [[Gin]], the entire way. Only Akai and Kir, as well as Conan, were in on this plan, but Conan could not be present, at this time at all, and did need to give Jodie his phone with the needed fingerprints. Everyone else was left in the dark, except for [[James Black]], who noticed the glue-like substance on Akai's fingertips just before the meet.

In [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]], Conan had even less time to come up with a working strategy, since he did have his guard down. Thankfully, his mother let him know Vermouth was on the train, and he saw the Picture [[Mitsuhiko]] took of [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] when she saved them a little earlier.

He had to quickly come up with a plan, which used an all-star cast of himself, his mother, [[Subaru]], and [[Kaito Kid|Kid disguised as Sherry]] as the finishing touches.

That strategy worked out big time, since they were able to save Haibara's life, discover [[Bourbon]]'s identity, and make Vermouth agree to quit trying to kill her.

In [[Scarlet showdown|the Scarlet episodes]], after Camel let it slip that [[Rikumichi Kusuda|Kusada]] shot himself in the head, Conan had less than a day to come up with a plan that made Bourbon think that Subaru and Akai were 2 different people and to save Akai again.

This time, Akai was in the back of Jodie and Camel's car.

His mother, Yukiko Kudo, was disguised as her husband appearing on tv at an awards ceremony.

His father, Yusaku Kudo, was dressed as [[Subaru]].
His father was wearing a voice-changing facemask and did a bit of coughing.
Sometimes he answered, and Conan listening in another room, with several cameras, had to also use Subaru's voice when talking to Bourbon in the living room.

=== 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 a 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 is 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 backflip on his skateboard 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.

=== Acting Ability ===
He may not have great acting ability, however, he is good enough to accomplish his goals.

In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], he was given some juice, drugged with sleeping pills. He noticed that the safety seal was broken, so he pretended to drink it, and also at some time, appeared to fall asleep, spilling half of the juice on the back seat floorboard of her car, and acted asleep for a long time.

At some point, she even laid him down in the back seat, where he remained in that pose for a long time.

When it was dark, and she stopped to get gas and go to the restroom, she covered him with her coat, so he would not get sick.

He continued acting asleep when she returned, although he probably went through her coat pockets when she was away.

He continued acting asleep, until he decided that he had enough evidence for his deduction, and to give it to her.

In [[Two Days with the Culprit]], after he was kidnapped by Ryousuke Oomine, when he had an opening in some kind of room, he acted like he was scared of a rat or something, and began hugging, but in reality, he was frisking him to determine if he is armed.

After he solved the case, he asked Ryousuke Oomine, "how are you at acting," and they went to the location of the three suspects, and put on an act like he was about to kill Conan, for the culprit to reveal himself. It worked.

In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night]], Conan did a good job of acting like [[Haibara]] in the car with [[Jodie]], but he probably broke character to tell Jodie what to say to [[Vermouth]] to get her to reveal herself to them, but that also earned his trust in Jodie at the same time.

After he removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wristwatch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.

After Vermouth abducted the unconscious Conan and drove some distance away, she e-mailed the boss and began thinking. When she touched his shoulders, she felt some wires and stuff on him, so she cut his coat, and found some tubes going from Conan's body into a box. She started to rip out the wires from the box, and heard, "I wouldn't if I were you." If those wires were pulled, it would send information to the machine that he is dead, and that e-mail that she just sent would be sent to his partner and the police. It is unknown just how long he was asleep, and when he woke up, but he later recalled the sound of the digits to the Boss.

In [[The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History]], the TV Special, while in a public bathroom, and after Conan saw some important evidence, he realized the danger, and faked a slip on the wet floor, where he was promptly chloroformed, and abducted.

When he woke up, he pretended that he had amnesia.
He eventually revealed that he was Edogawa Conan Detective to one of the people involved, however, the amnesiac child act had to continue for the duration of the case.

In [[The Woman with White Hands|The Woman with White Hands Case]], while rehearsing his lines for tomorrow's play, Conan is playing 'Ikku' in the school play.

All of the following: [[Kobayashi-sensei]], [[Rumi Wakasa|Rumi-sensei]] as well as Conan's classmates are astonished at his wonderful acting and delivery of his lines.

He told Haibara that he played that part when he was in third grade, and his parents had trained him well. With [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother being an actress]], and his [[Yusaku Kudo|father being a mystery writer]], who suggested a better phrase for him to say rather than the written line.

In short, neither of his parents would have permitted him to give anything less than stellar performance, so they made certain his performance was perfect. This is why he missed several rehearsals as Conan as he remembered most of his lines.

In [[A Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case]], at a beer garden at night, Conan overheard this man on the phone and surmised that his child had been abducted. Surprisingly Kogoro and Ran listened, and they followed this man, who they found out was a dentist.

However, the only way to find out more, and everything, is to talk to the dentist. Since there may be some onlookers, Conan decided to play the part of a patient.

He did a magnificent job of acting like a little boy who had an excruciatingly bad toothache to convince any onlookers that he was a patient so that they could enter the Dentist's office and talk to the Dentist. He appeared to be even louder than Kogoro on the intercom, asking for his child to be able to see the dentist, even though the dentist's office is closed.

As good as he is at acting, he is not always great at it.

Most notably, when he is petrified.

When he hears the [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children's melody]], he is unable to even act, like it is nothing, and esp. if he hears it in regards to dialing the [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Boss's]] [[The Raven Chaser|E-mail]] [[Dissonance of the Stradivarius Violin|address]].

At the [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|shrine with Jodie]], he was definitely unguarded, and the two did quite a bit of talking: before and after she had been bugged by a disguised [[Bourbon]] (Claiming to be [[Tohei Benzaki|a hostage, who was coincidentally pickpocketed just before being knocked out by Bourbon]], at the same bank with Jodie and the [[Scar Akai|scarred guy]]), until a disguised Vermouth (Claiming to be his [[Motoe Benzaki| 6-month pregnant wife, who taped up Jodie]] at the bank) removed the bug.

In the [[Kogoro in the Bar|Kogoro at the Bar Case]], [[Takagi Wataru|Detective Takagi]] notified Conan, that Tohei Benzaki, claims that he was never involved in a pickpocket case and that he is single, and Conan begins to remember that the Bank robbers separated the hostages, who came with someone, from those who came alone. Only those who came alone taped up the ones who came with others.

This placed Conan in a panicky state, and he began running from the bar, probably to the [[Agasa|professor]]'s house, since it is unlikely that he would have fled back to the Detective Agency, since [[Haibara]] might be in danger. If he did go to Agasa's house, it may also have placed [[Subaru]]/ [[Akai]] in danger too.

In [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|the Bathroom where Ran Collapsed As Well Case]], he was still running from the bar.

He began thinking that Bourbon and Vermouth may have made those purposeful mistakes in their story to trap him into making a mistake too, so he tried to calm down and called Haibara, who is safe, at this time. He then hung up.

Around the corner, Bourbon had been closely watching him, when he was on the phone.

Later that day, [[Ran]] and Conan were in an apartment complex lobby, while they were waiting for [[Eri Kisaki|Ran's mother]], to have lunch.

Conan was attempting to act normal, although he failed miserably since he was looking around the entire time, since they arrived, and probably ever since he hung up from Haibara earlier.

He was so obviously frightened, that Ran asked if he is okay. He answered in the affirmative, but soon afterward, he was sweating bullets.

Ran thought about taking him home, rather than eating with her Mom, since he might be coming down with something.

Soon afterward, an already terrified Conan begins hearing the shutter of a camera and becomes even more terrified. Soon afterward, he saw a camera take his picture from behind a nearby chair, and [[Masumi]] came out of hiding, which helped his fear to disappear, so that he can go back to his normal "Not terrified for your life" state again.

She probably witnessed his fear, while working on a case for her client, but chose to help him to calm down finally.

In short, when he is terrified, he is unable to act like everything is normal.

Another way that he fails at acting is when he cracks the culprit's trick and gets the last bit of evidence for his deduction.

If anyone is watching Conan at these times, he may have some explaining to do.
However, no one is paying attention to him at these many times. They are either not around, due to 'less footwork' or completely ignoring him, unless they (Kogoro) want to get on to him for being where he shouldn't, and react promptly to that reprimand, rather than observing him.

He has shown both of these expressions a lot, and sometimes even both of them.
The first is when he usually figures out the trick, and the momentary reaction he has when everything clicks into place.
The second has finally been termed as a 'Prankster Smile' in the lucky calico case, by the detective boys, most noticeably Haibara and Ayumi in that order to realize that when he shows that smile, he has cracked the case and figured out everything.

Unfortunately, he is frequently unable to act bored much of the time, even as Conan, since he is a genius, who could probably teach his high school teachers things as Shinichi Kudo, and bring him back to elementary school, and he is bored to death if he can't use his intellectual brain, which does help that most of the culprits do have a trick that requires to be cracked if they are to be caught.

However, if a trick, code, or riddle is highly perplexing, Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement, which he is not good at hiding from the observant.

=== Thirst For Intellectual Stimuli ===
In [[The Secret of the Moon, the Star, and the Sun]], Professor Agasa made a treasure hunt game for the Detective Boys, really wanting it to be very difficult that Shinichi would practically give up, forgetting that if it was that way, the three real first graders would be unable to crack it at all.

At any rate, Conan had already cracked the case and found the professor's box within five minutes of entering the house, and he was focused on a much more complex code that someone else had come up with at the house.

The Detective Boys reprimanded Conan for being lazy, and not help to figure out where the clues to the Professor's treasure hunt, so that Conan had to lead the lazy children to each clue, so it is surprising that he did not just tell them where the box is, and don't bother him while he is focused on this less boring code.

However, Agasa noticed Conan's deliriously happy expression when he was getting to solve a complicated riddle. Conan even stated, "The more I don't understand, the more excited I get."

Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement in these cases, much like his boredom when he cannot use his brain, and [[The Final Screening Murder Case]] showed his limit is only two hours than he HAS to use his brain to be HAPPY.

He only seems happy when he can use his brain or with Ran, and even then, there are lots of idiots in his world, not saying names though. Even though she is not one usually.

Thankfully, most of the culprits do use a trick or code to excite him, in contrast to a very simple one in [[The Secret of the High Sales]], which was solved by 3 real first-grade children. He even stated at the end of that case, "His brain needs a smart culprit." Due to the simpleness of the culprit, he had a hard time with that case. That may explain why Haibara was uninvolved in that case since she was aware 'the culprit' was too simple and unintellectual for Conan's level of complexity.

In fact, in [[Conan vs. Kaitou Kid]], he was bored at the talk of the thief, since "This is stupid. Thieves are boring.," and planned on going to bed, however as soon as they mentioned a coded message of the announcement, he was all ears. In fact. Even though he cracked the code at Beika Museum, in the daytime, he did not tell anyone else that they were far off the mark.

Instead, he snuck out at night to meet the Kid that night. Conan asked Agasa about tome information in his father's files, before meeting Kid, since he was fascinated to meet Kaito Kid, a "strange retro-thief, whose crazy enough to announce his moves."

Thankfully, there are some detectives and federal agents, where he can show his intellectual stimuli, and this is done by them recognizing that he is the one solving Kogoro's cases and that he is a very smart child, even if they are unaware of who he is:
[[Jodie Starling]], [[James Black]], [[Miwako Sato]], [[Kansuke Yamato]], and [[Yui Uehara]], and even [[Wataru Takagi]], and the famous Shogi player, [[Shukichi Haneda]], an [[Black Organization|undercover]] [[Japanese Intelligence Agencies|Federal Agent]], [[Rei Furuya]].

It is hard to say if he can even hide his intellect and thirst for it from [[Hyoue Kuroda]], a [[Rum]] Contender, since before their [[Kawanakajima Murder Case|first case]], Kuroda had already allowed it to be known that he was aware of Conan's deductive intelligence, by his introduction of Conan, 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and say that Conan can crack cases by seeing what no one else does. Conan Edogawa, Detective," in front of the Nagano Policemen present. In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent]], he refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: Ninzaburo Shiratori and Inspector Yuminaga.

As much as Conan may want to hide his intellect from Hyoue Kuroda until he deduces Rum's identity, it may not be possible.
After all, in a case, Kuroda did tell Takagi and Megure to do whatever Conan says, and in another case, he did instruct Bourbon to answer all of Conan's questions about the case, when he realized that Conan is also investigating this case too.

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

In [[A June Bride Murder Case]], In the manga, Conan rinses out Miss Matsumoto's mouth with milk after he sees her collapsing, to neutralize the poison in her body. It is later stated that this bit of first aid may have been the reason why Miss Matsumoto was discharged from the hospital sooner than anticipated. These parts are cut from the anime entirely.

In [[Scuba Diving Murder Case]], after a woman had suffered a snake bite from a water snake, Conan immediately grabbed a glass of ice tea and gave it to those sucking out the poison, and treating her.

Although Kogoro did not know of any of this, Eri told him, "Ice Tea has Tannin. The first thing to do in the case of a snake bite... is to make use of the Tannin component in tea to clean the wound and alleviate the poison." While Kogoro is flabbergasted that Conan is aware of what to do in a snake bite, Eri states, "That boy is quite sharp. Compared to people like us, sitting here with our arms folded, he's much more of an asset. More importantly, the ex-policeman here doesn't seem to know a thing about this."

In [[The Celebrities' Secret]], is the first case that does go more into detail about Conan's first aid skills, such as giving sugar sticks to a person who attempted suicide with a hypoglycemic drug, which is used to treat Diabetes. The other case that showed his first aid skills was in the Scuba Diving Murder Case, when he quickly grabbed a glass of ice tea, due to the needed Tannin, to combat the poisonous snake bite. In the other case, he handed the tea to the rescuers, however in this case, he began administering it himself.

In all three cases, the person survived, due to his first aid knowledge and skills.

However, these are just three of the cases that showcase it or two in the anime.

=== Stamina ===
It is hard to say about his stamina since he was shrunk down to Conan.
It is not as good when he is in his 17-year-old body since he now has the body of a 7-year-old.

Without Agasa's gadgets, His strength is also that of a 7-year-old too, which includes his kicking strength as well.

However, he is a very active, and maybe hyperactive little kid, who frequently uses his feet and legs, whether running, kicking, and skateboarding around the town. So his feet and leg muscles are probably stronger than when he was first shrunk, but still..., he would be toast without the professor's Gadgets and especially his superkick shoes.

He probably has normal stamina for a little kid, although some of the feats, and esp. in non-cannon movies, may seem to exaggerate his stamina, but even in the scene when Ran was pushed in front of a moving train, and Conan immediately jumped down, grabbed her, and dragged her to safety, he was panting afterward.

=== Music ===
[[File: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 a 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 that he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 [[The Secret Played by the Diary|(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. Surprisingly, Conan recognizes Twinkle Twinkle Little Star lyric from hearing 4 sets of 7-times tapping on the phone and can sing this song very well when he distracts a serial killer from assaulting Naeko in File 1017 [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|(Episode 974)]].

Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in Movie 12, 'Full Score of Fear' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

=== Bomb defusion ===
Conan can defuse a bomb effortlessly without external instruction. This has been demonstrated once in canon, and multiple times in movies.

When Conan was in the area with the bomb, which only he could reach, while the bomb squad was trying to determine the kind of bomb that Conan is with so that they can give the little boy instructions on how to disarm the bomb.<ref name="ep304">[[Episode 304]]</ref>

He had already begun disarming it, and only stopped, when he realized if he waited until 3 seconds before the detonation, he will receive a hint as to the location of another bomb, so he hesitated, and discovered that it was Teitan High School, with the letters E-V-I-T. He also managed to disarm it before it blew up.

=== Criminal psychology ===
Conan shows a keen understanding of criminal psychology, occasionally being able to sense if someone is the true criminal. He can also predict the movement and plan of the criminals, and in some cases, he used this skill to "bluff". By deliberately giving the wrong deduction, he managed to make the criminal reveal the key evidence of the case, confess, abandon suicide's attempt, or lead them to the wrong ends (if they are chasing Conan).

In non-canon, it was shown that if the criminal doesn't conform to the general intellectual pattern, Conan will have trouble deducing their crime, even if it is so obvious that the Detective Boys can deduce perfectly.

[[File:Conan First met Kaito Kid.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan introduces himself to Kaito Kid when they first met. "Conan Edogawa, a detective!" in [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode One]].]]

=== Reverse Psychology ===
In the Clash of Red and Black Arc, he planned along with Shuichi how to replace Kir ack undercover in the Black Organization, without telling the rest of the FBI until it was over, however he did have to outthink Gin.

He had to outthink Gin, and implement Reverse Psychology, if not Reverse Reverse Psychology when planning Akai's Faked death at Railla Pass.

They knew that Kir would have to prove herself by killing Akai and that Gin always kills with headshots, so he would demand that of her.

He also knew it would be at Railla Pass, and used Kusada's body, thanks to that spy shooting himself in the head and committing suicide.

He also knew since Kusada had already touched his phone, make it look to the other FBI Members that Akai touched Conan's phone, but Akai had some substance to keep his fingerprints off of it entirely.

In short, Conan had to predict what Gin would demand and where at, along with Kir and Akai, and at the same time, making Gin think that it is all "his idea."

The only ones allowed in on the following secrets:

Placing Kir back undercover:
Conan, who planned it
Akai
Kir
Andre Camel, who had to drive her.

The other FBI members did not find out until she was placed back undercover, otherwise, they may have given the act away.

Akai's Faked Death:
Conan, who planned it, and even arranged for Akai to meet his Mom and Agasa somewhere else to help his new disguise.
Kir, who was to kill him to prove herself to Gin
Akai, who was to die
James Black, who noticed the glue or substance to Akai's fingertips, just before the fateful meeting.

No one else was let in on that secret at all, until the scarlet episodes, when Jodie and Camel finally learned about it, including Bourbon, who figured it out due to his keen observation skills.

=== "7 Children" or "[[Nanatsu no Ko]]" Alertness ===
This can also be called the Boss's E-Mail Address Alertness as well.

After Conan's confrontation with Vermouth, when he appeared to still be unconscious from his tranquilizer dart, he heard her press the digits on her cell phone to reply to "BOSS" of the Black Organization at the end of Head to Head Halloween Party episode.

He remembered the sounds of the digits being pressed when she was dialing the boss's e-mail address to respond to a message that he had sent her.

Conan may be tone-deaf, but he does have Perfect Pitch and can recognize the tune of the Boss's e-mail address.

At the end of The Dissonance of the Stradivarius Episode 387, he found out those digits are for the song of "7 Children" or "Nanatsu no Ko," which happens to the Boss of the Black Organization's E-mail address.

He can recognize that tune in an instant, and immediately is on the hunt for the Black Organization Member, who just e-mailed their Boss.
He cannot even pretend to act normally when he hears this tune.

Even just the first four digits place him on high alert before he discovered the name of the tune.

Even though Haibara stated that the e-mail address is a Pandora Box, which should never be opened, or dialed.

Since he can recognize the Boss's e-mail immediately, which has shown many times:

After his bug and transmitter, accidentally fell on the ground, and Rena stepped on it, he immediately heard her dial the Boss's e-mail address, and found out her code name of Kir, among other stuff.

That tune also came in handy at finding out that a Black Organization Spy had infiltrated Haido Central Hospital, where Kir was hospitalized due to the e-mail being dialed.

Even in the Non-cannon movie: The Raven Chaser, after Conan found out that the Boss's E-mailed had been dialed, he immediately chased after a disguised Vermouth, and saw her enter Gin's Porsche. Unfortunately, Irish, another disguised Black Organization Member, who was impersonating the Superintendant Kiyonaga Matsumoto, noticed Conan's behavior, and immediately began investigating Conan, and he even managed to obtain Conan's fingerprints and match them to Kudo Shinichi's fingerprints, when he held that mask and helmet in the Desperate Revival Festival, earlier.
He may not have noticed if it was not for the Panic Mode or Near Panic Mode that this number and song instills in Conan.

=== Computer skills ===
Conan has some programming skills, for being able to create Mouri Detective Agency's website. He doesn't know about hacking, at least he is not able to crack Black Organization's encrypted data.

=== Kaitou Kid radar ===
Conan occasionally seems to be able to sense if [[Kaitou Kid]] is present at a crime scene.<ref>Black Star</ref><ref>Luna Memoria File 964 page 10</ref> Unlike [[Shiho Miyano#"Black Organization sense"|Haibara's "Black Organization smell" sense]], Conan's Kid detector isn't very reliable.

=== Codebreaker and Codewriter ===
He is great at discovering codes, as well as deciphering them.

He frequently can decipher Kid's codes, among many others.
In the paper airplane episode, Subaru and Conan, both managed to decipher the airplane code at about the same time.
He was also able to decipher from E-V-I-T, that the next bomb was Teitan High School.<ref name="ep304"></ref>

He has even been shown to be able to write codes as well. When Conan, Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, were locked in a freezing delivery van, without their cell phones, and all they had on hand were some odds and ends, taxi receipt, and Taii, the cat. Conan managed to create a code out of the taxi receipt, which would look like trash to almost everyone, except the only person who would be able to decipher it in an instant, Amuro, who works at Cafe Poirot, and Taii makes his stop there every day at around this time. The code read, COR...P..SE," and the license plate number.<ref>[[Episode 722]]</ref>

He then placed the note in Taii's collar, who managed to escape. However, when Azusa was about to hand the note to Amuro, it blew away in the wind, only for Bourbon to find out the spelling from Azusa, and pieced together instantly, "Corpse." After Azusa stated that Conan knows the cat comes here every day, he took the rest of the day off work to track the note using his Wind App, taking into account the location of the building.

Conan then remembered the cake that Agasa ordered for a delivery at a special time, located it, and wrote a message to redirect the cake to the Kudo Residence, where Subaru is living, and redirected it, "In the care of Mr. Kudo," and even added a message in the customer's copy of the receipt so that Subaru would know that they are trapped in the delivery van.

Subaru sent a package, which was a cell phone to help the kids. However, they were found out by the culprits. Fortunately, Amuro came in time and disabling the culprits. Conan was able to use that phone to call the police.

=== Literature ===
Conan recognizes a phrase ("Kill me tomorrow--but let me live tonight.") from Shakespeare's Othello, which helps him realize that the victim was rehearsing a play, not having an argument with someone.<ref>[[Episode 975]]</ref>

== 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 named [[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.

However, when she introduced herself to him at night in front of the Kudo and Agasa's house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the Black Organization, even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ...

After the professor's case, he saw her real tears, when she was crying in his shirt, and since then their relationship has improved dramatically, and they even protect each other.

She is also helping him to be more cautious than his initial, "The Black Organization is involved. I am scared, but I will hunt them down, and try and get the antidote," without thinking of the consequences.

He is still determined to take down that organization, but he is now wiser than he was at in, whereas, she is more inclined to err on the side of caution, "Stop. Don't Go. Stay out of this," which will not take the organization down but may keep them safer.

In regards to the Black Organization, they both tend to withhold information to protect the other one.
It is difficult to know just how much she knows of the Organization's leaders and such, but she feels if she tells him anything until it comes up, he may carelessly act on it.

When Conan found out that the '7 Children' song's first lines' tone was the Boss's e-mail address, his initial thought was to have Takagi investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.
The e-mail address is Pandora's box that should never be opened.

In return, Conan protects her a lot in regards to the organization: saving her life, withholding risky information, and coming up with plans to save her life, when she has been found out and trying to hide her from them.

=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] Conan and Haibara cross paths with them at a hotel party while trying to prevent someone from dying at the hands of the organization. While there, Haibara is kidnapped by one of the members of the organization, [[Pisco]]. Conan manages to save Haibara and also learn about [[Anokata]]

=== 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 to Shinichi several times, but never permanently.
==== East versus West Detective ====
First, he temporarily 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|Prototype antidote}}
Haibara invented an [[Prototype antidote|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 herself as Conan and appears in front of Ran with Shinichi 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 a six-year-old they saw. In a phone booth, Conan takes the pill originally meant for his return trip to Tokyo 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 and friends ===
==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Conan.jpg|thumb|200px|Ran holding Conan.]]
{{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 well-being. 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 a 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 subconsciously 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}}

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.]]
[[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 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. Sometimes, Kogoro will also grab Conan by the jacket, leave him outside, or knock him on the head if he is too nosy when involved in a case. However, their relationship is intimate and Kogoro takes care of Conan just like a member of the house. At times when Conan is in danger or his life is in peril, Kogoro is seen to be visibly distressed, focused only on getting Conan back. In one episode where Conan was kidnapped, put into a car, and the car was in the process of being crushed, Kogoro was even in tears at Conan's apparent death but then rejoiced tearfully when he was shown to be unharmed.
Conan in return does everything in his power to protect Kogoro from getting into trouble with the Black Organization, saving his life multiple times whenever Kogoro unknowingly gets involved with them.
They are usually seen going to cases together (probably because Conan sneaks along with Kogoro, inserts himself into the case, or simply annoys Kogoro enough to bring him) and sometimes they'll follow Ran whenever they think she might be off to see a boy or "that detective brat" as Kogoro refers to Shinichi.
{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
[[File:783-2.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko nearly calls Conan "Shinichi" in public.]]
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 to show Conan how dangerous his goals are. However, after seeing that their son is determined to dive into the matter, they decide to follow his wish and even helps him out with disguises and plans.

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 period, 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.

Yukiko helped him out once to keep his secret identity from being exposed to Ran by creating an alibi for him. Yukiko once nearly called Conan "Shinichi" in public but Conan was able to cover it by creating a distraction.
{{clearright}}

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[image:Agasa and Conan investigating.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan investigates with Agasa.]]
Conan treats [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] as a member of his own family, as an uncle. Because 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 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}}

==== "Shinichi Kudo" ====
[[File:EP398 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Shinichi.]]
They never meet each other for obvious reasons: Conan is Shinichi's secret identity. However, since Conan tries to act like a child, he often thinks of Shinichi as a separate character (in one episode, when Ran claims to go on a date with Shinichi, Conan bids goodbye, oblivious for a while that he is Shinichi). Judging from his completely made-up speech, Conan talks to Shinichi frequently by phone and learns a lot of skills and knowledge from him, and Conan admires and loves Shinichi. In turn, Shinichi is willing to satiate Conan's curiosity, but at one point he gets annoyed for Conan's inquisitiveness.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo beats 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. Despite his teasing, Conan/Shinichi genuinely thinks Kazuha and Heiji would make a great couple.
{{clearright}}

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
She frequently talks to him like a brat and primary school kid, and he thinks of her as annoying.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Masumi Sera is like an older sister figure to Conan. She knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. She is a mystery but is revealed to be the sister of Shuichi Akai and Shukichi Haneda. Conan takes Sera to be like a fellow detective, similar to how he treats Heiji and Saguru. Sera in return is very protective of him and also seems to have a crush on him, calling him a "wizard"; because when they first met 10 years ago, Shinichi/Conan was able to make her brother Shuichi laugh when she couldn't.

==== Eisuke Hondou ====
Eisuke discovered that Conan is the real Sleeping Kogoro before they even first met. Conan found him suspicious due to his resemblance to Rena Mizunashi. Eisuke was quick to notice that Conan's behavior towards Ran was similar to that of a protective boyfriend and decided to monitor him. Eventually, Conan found that he is the younger brother of Rena who is a member of the CIA infiltrating the organization, the relationship between the two seems to have improved somehow after Conan reveals his identity to Eisuke without hesitating to refuse his offer to take Ran with him in America. At that moment, Eisuke amicably confesses to Conan that he was aware from the beginning that he was sleeping Kogoro and Shinichi Kudo. He asked Conan to take care of Ran and the two leave on good terms.

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
Shukichi seems to have noticed Conan's intelligence and trusted his deductions the first time they met. Shinichi has met Shukichi in the past as a child, so Shukichi might recognize him as Conan because of his memorization skills, and also due to Shukichi calling Conan a Wizard, the same nickname that Masumi attributed to Shinichi when they met 10 years ago.

=== Detective Boys ===
[[File:Conan and Ai.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan and Haibara investigating.]]
[[File:conan scary face.png|thumb|left|200px|Conan's scary face when he's intending to know Haibara's secret song.]]
==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}
Both are de-aged by APTX4869 and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes [[Ai Haibara]] and Conan close confidants and more empathetic with each other than most other characters. They share an interesting relationship. They believe and rely on each other. 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.

However, when she introduced herself to him at night in front of the [[Kudo]] and [[Agasa|Agasa's]] house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the [[Black Organization]], even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ...

After the professor's case, he saw her real tears, when she was crying in his shirt, and since then their relationship has improved dramatically, and they even protect each other.

She is also helping him to be more cautious than his initial, "The Black Organization is involved. I am scared, but I will hunt them down, and try and get the antidote," without thinking of the consequences.

He is still determined to take down that organization, but he is now wiser than he was at in, whereas, she is more inclined to err on the side of caution, "Stop. Don't Go. Stay out of this," which will not take the organization down but may keep them safer.

In regards to the Black Organization, they both tend to withhold information to protect the other one.
It is difficult to know just how much she knows of the Organization's leaders and such, but she feels if she tells him anything until it comes up, he may carelessly act on it.

When Conan found out that [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children]] was the [[Boss]]'s e-mail address, his initial thought was to have [[Takagi]] investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.
The e-mail address is Pandora's box that should never be opened.

In return, Conan protects her a lot in regards to the organization: saving her life, withholding risky information, and coming up with plans to save her life, when she has been found out and trying to hide her from them.

==== Ayumi Yoshida ====
[[File:759-3.png|thumb|200px|Sonoko is teasing Conan about Ayumi.]]
{{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 has a very open crush for Conan as seen in instances when she gave him kisses on his cheek. However, she seems to not be aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of Conan because of this. Sonoko once mentioned that she thought Conan likes Ayumi to which shocked Conan and made him internally admit his love for Ran.

==== 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 vast 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.
In a case, where Genta's father was a suspect, Conan decided to solve the case without telling the other, because he didn't want Genta to worry about his father being a suspect for murder.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Police ====
[[File:Megure and Conan Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megure waffles between treating Conan like a child and a detective]]
Except for 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. Even [[Sato]] also treats him more like a detective.

Even when Takagi is hesitant to do what Conan asks of him, as soon as Sato hears Conan's name, she immediately will take action or give him information sometimes.

After [[Hyoue Kuroda]] became the superintendent of the Tokyo Prefecture, he has told Takagi and [[Megure]] to do what Conan asks of them in the [[The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case|Actress Blogger Case]].

He even periodically refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" in front of the other police officers, such as Nagano Police Prefecture Officers, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and Inspector [[Yuminaga]], as well as Bourbon, who he instructed to answer all of Conan's questions when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case of [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]].

==== Wataru Takagi ====
Wataru Takagi is the only police officer who has come the closest to finding out about [[Conan]]'s identity.

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

In [[The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages]], while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime. Takagi asked Conan about his real identity to which Conan answered that he would in the afterlife.

He also is aware of Conan's sharp intelligence and takes him seriously to take him for questioning the suspects. He trusts Conan so much that he would take him seriously.

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

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

==== Miwako Sato ====
[[File:EP424 5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Miwako and Conan during a case Investigation]]

She had developed a deep trust in Conan and his intelligence from her real first time investigating with him, and seeing him in action in the case of [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]].

Even when Takagi is hesitant to do as Conan says, unquestioningly, she will immediately and unhesitantly do as he says, almost all of the time, since she first met him.

==== Kansuke Yamato ====
Kansuke is one of the few police officers, who Conan can talk like an adult in front of.

In [[A Dangerous Party of Two]], he even told [[Yui Uehara|Yui]] Uehara that he suspects Conan of being "the one leading everything," in regards to [[Kogoro|Kogoro's]] cases, and that is after only after they met up in one case so far.

In fact, in that car ride, they were giving [[Agasa]] and [[Haibara]] a lift back to Tokyo, but he kept taking in a Nagano dialect, using phrases that terrified Haibara, such as "Half-Kill" and "Over-Kill, which dealt with a kind of Mochi, and not what Agasa and Haibara were thinking of."

The reason why he and Yui were heading to Tokyo was to enlist Kogoro's help with the Red Wall Case, which Yui told Conan that it was his help they were wanting.

==== Hyoue Kuroda ====
[[Kuroda]] is aware of how good Conan is as a detective, calling him " Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", he also trusts his deductions and has already ordered the Tokyo police to follow Conan's Instructions.

On the other hand, Conan is suspicious of Kuroda because he almost matches [[Rum]]'s description, he also became shocked that Kuroda became the Superintendent of Tokyo Police in [[Matsumoto]]'s place.

In [[Kawanakajima Murder Case]], which was his first appearance, he already knew that Conan was 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro,' and stated an entire dialogue stating his knowledge of Edogawa Conan in front of the Nagano Police Officers present, in his first speech to Conan.

In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent|Mystery of the Burning Tent]], He refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and [[Inspector Yuminaga]].

In [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]], he also instructed Amuro to answer all of Conan's questions, when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case as well.

==== Rei Furuya ====
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] (Aliases as Tooru Amuro) has attached himself to the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] as [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person has shown up" when he learns Rei will be joining Kogoro on cases. However, after he finds out [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Amuro's membership in the Black Organization]], though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. This was made even worse when Rei caught him attempting to tranquilize Kogoro, but due to Rei's attentiveness, he was unable to and had to give hints to Kogoro instead. Although Amuro may not have seen the trick, he became convinced that Conan was the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro, and began investigating Conan, which only made Conan more nervous of him. Their relationship later seemed to improve in [[The Scarlet Return]] when Conan learns that Rei is an undercover operative from the Japanese Secret Police when the two exchange smiles in Café Poirot. Conan even used his Voice Changing Bow Tie in front of Rei in [[The Heartfelt Strap]].

When Shinichi Kudo is exposed on the media due to [[The Scarlet School Trip|Kyoto Field Trip]], he receives an email from [[Rum]], ordering him to gather information about Shinichi. After he helped to solve the [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case|Bunny Girls Case]], Amuro broke into the Kudo home, so that he can find out information about [[Kudo Shinichi]]. He had the altercation with an [[Akai Shuichi|unmasked Akai]], and both of [[Yusaku Kudo|Shinichi's]] [[Yukiko Kudo|parents]] turned on the light, so that the four of them can have a meeting. Currently, it is unknown what was discussed in that meeting, other than Conan planned it.

It seemed to become strained again in the movie: [[Zero the Enforcer]], however that is due to Amuro had his subordinate, [[Yuya Kazami]] of the [[Public Security Bureau|Japanese Secret Police- Public Security Bureau]], plant phony incriminating evidence against Kogoro Mouri for a bombing incident. However, it turns out that the framing was to use Conan as a Collaborator and to rely on his strength so that Conan can do what he was unable to do for his investigation. This way, he was able to use Conan as a Collaborator and to rely on his strength.

=== 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.

==== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ====
[[File:The Scarlet Return-Shuichi and Conan.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Shuichi and Conan ([[The Scarlet Return|Ep. 782]])]]
[[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] has been shown to respect Conan's detective skills. Together they hatched a plan to send Hidemi Hondou back into the organization and fake Akai's death. He has discovered that Conan and Shinichi are the same by spying on him in a [[Volume 77#File 814 - Conan-kun, Right?|recent plot line]]. Conan once says to Shuichi, "I'm glad you're an ally."

==== 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.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin and Vodka ====
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's interfering with their operations, Gin is 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.

In [[Reunion with the Black Organization|Reunion of the Black Organization]], Gin had to shoot himself in the arm to stay awake, after he was shot with Conan's tranquilizer dart.
He also found Conan's bug and transmitter in his car, however, due to a strand of [[Haibara Ai|Haibara]]'s hair, he is convinced it was [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], who planted them.

In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], Gin told Vodka "You have to be always on guard. It seems Someone is investigating about us, a Detective clever as a Fox," without being aware that it happens to be a 7-year-old little child.

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]], he found Conan's bug and transmitter on [[Kir]]'s shoe and immediately planned to exterminate [[Kogoro Mouri]], who he was convinced left the bug. When Conan kicked a soccer ball into the Detective Agency window, Gin decided to add another victim, the little kid. Thankfully, [[Akai]] made him think the bug and transmitter were planted by the FBI, which saved them both.

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] seems to have a great personal interest in Conan, referring to him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet' and her "Cool Guy."

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 can bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

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

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

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

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

She shot herself in the leg and had to hobble some distance away from the car, so that he would remain out of sight, and nowhere around her when Gin came to pick her up.

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

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to Gin, she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," to protect Conan.

=== 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 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 a 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.

[[File:704 20.png|thumb|200px|Kaitou Kid disguised as [[Shiho]] as requested from Conan]]

Conan does not buy into 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.

==== [[Mary Sera]] ====
Conan has been trying to discover the truth about [[Mary]] since the day he first saw her in a picture with Masumi Sera. In "The detective boys in the grove" case, he noticed Ai's uncanny resemblance to Mary. Then, he finds out that the mysterious girl is the mother of Masumi Sera, Shukichi Haneda, and Shuichi Akai, and the wife of Tsutomu Akai, now somehow shrunken. On the other hand, Mary remains skeptical of Conan telling her daughter to be aware of him as he isn't the same boy they met 10 years ago.

==== [[Kanenori Wakita]] ====
In his [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|introductory case]], Conan noticed that he had a medical patch on his left eye, although Wakita claims it is only temporary. He chose not to see the messy left eye, along with Kogoro and Ran.

In the [[Search for Maria-chan!]], while Conan is hiding at Agasa's due to the uproar or his appearance as Kudo Shinichi on a case, during his Kyoto Field Trip, he noticed that Wakita knocked on Agasa's door, and asked about all of the press stationed next door outside of the Kudo gate, while he claimed to be making a delivery to someone in the neighborhood.

(He could have just asked the person that his delivery was for, but no. Let's ask the Kudos' [[Agasa Hiroshi|next door neighbor]]. Plus it is highly unlikely that [[Subaru]], the supposedly DEAD FBI agent, [[Akai]], who is residing in the [[Kudo Shinichi|Kudo]] house, which is the house to the supposedly dead teenage detective, would ever order for Delivery. Take-out, maybe, but not Delivery.)

== 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 chapters 812-814, [[Subaru Okiya]] ([[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise,) confirms that Conan is Shinichi. [[Masumi Sera]] also knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo before they even first met. It is also hinted that [[Mary]] knows about Conan's true identity, telling her daughter Masumi to be wary of him.

In the 13th movie, the Black Organization member [[Irish]] discovers that Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

The 3rd, 8th, 14th, 19th, and 23rd movies also demonstrate that [[Kaitou Kid]] knows Conan's identity and acts to protect it. Though it was once unconfirmed if he knew in the manga, it was recently confirmed in the Fairy Lips case, where Kid thinks that there are "two high school detectives" on the scene, referring to Heiji, and Conan, the only other high school detective there. It is unknown how he came to figure this out.

== People who know that Conan is behind the "Sleeping Kogoro" ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro}}
There is even a varied list of those who know that Conan is the puppeteer behind the "Sleeping Kogoro."

== 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 ==

== 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 the 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 ==
[[Image: EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]
* 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>
* 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 grade-schoolers. The expression was even [[The Sullied Masked Hero|said by Kogoro]] out of irritation at Conan (right before Conan tranquillized him). Conan's habit of acting juvenile to disguise his real abilities also [[Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun|draws the ire]] of the Detective Boys.
* Conan/Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share the same blood type as mentioned in episode 189.
* In [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Akako's Delivery Service|Akako's Delivery Service]], [[Saguru Hakuba]] acquires a strand of [[Kaitou Kid]]'s hair and runs a genetic scan on it, determining that Kid is a fifteen-to-seventeen-year-old male with a higher-than-average IQ. He then runs this information against a database of Tokyo teenagers and comes up with a list of possible Kaitou Kids, at the top of which was [[Kaito Kuroba]]'s name. However, it's interesting to wonder whether Shinichi, another sixteen-year-old Tokyo resident with a similar build and above-average intelligence, made Saguru's list, but the search included only teenagers with blood type B, and it has never actually been stated what Shinichi's is (although [[Kogoro Mouri]] mentions that Conan's blood type is rare<ref>Episode 189</ref>). Type B is not a common blood type<ref>See population breakdown by country here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group_system#ABO_and_Rh_distribution_by_country</ref>, so it is possible that this is Shinichi's type.
* Conan/Shinchi's favourite drink is iced coffee as shown in episode 814, 919, etc. Shinichi's favourite drink is shown in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]] when Daisuke says that he isn't the only one who drinks iced coffee throughout the year. The lemon pie does not count as Shinichi's favourite during [[The Memories of First Love Case]] because the woman Asami Uchida, whose first love was Shinichi, told this to Ran and her speciality in the past was baking that same lemon pie that she finally perfected so Shinichi will tell her that the pie was delicious. Unless Gosho Aoyama said otherwise, the lemon pie may not be Shinichi's favourite and it was only brought up during that case alone.
* Whenever dealing with a particularly difficult case, Shinichi/Conan juggles a soccer ball to think better. In scenes where he doesn't have one, he often holds his chin with his thumb and forefinger.
* Conan/Shinichi doesn't know that ironically, due to all his secret-keeping from Ran, he's potentially locked himself out of learning about Ran's encounter(s) with the Black Organization, because she has no reason to tell 'Conan' about them. Shinichi/Conan has no idea that Ran has encountered Vermouth and saved Haibara from her, even 500+ chapters after it occurred. The fact that Haibara herself is invested in keeping Ran out of anything to do with the Black Organization only adds to this, as she deliberately lied to Conan/Shinichi about who saved her that night. Ran not knowing Conan's identity also prevents them from confiding in each other or pooling together the information they might have in other areas and thus can extend the time it takes for important realizations to come to light.
* In file 1045, it is revealed that Conan and Yumi have each other's phone numbers.
* In file 900, it is revealed that Conan and Miwako Sato have each other's phone numbers.
* According to Gosho in Super Digest Book 90+ that from time to time, Conan wears a jumper with a "K" written on which stands for "Karl Helmutt", a Japanese clothing brand.
* No matter where Conan goes, he can't go anywhere without stumbling upon a murder or some other crime. Lampshaded after a while by whichever of the police officers happens to be on duty in that area and some of the characters:
:* Megure in particular begins to wonder if Kogoro is the Angel of Death, later on, more accurately shifting his joking suspicions towards Conan himself as seen in Episode 549.
:* During The Final Screening Murder Case (manga chapter 222/anime episode 138) where the Detective Boys are watching movies in a theatre and Ai tells Conan he should relax and enjoy a "child's vacation." When someone is killed at the back of the theatre, Ai remarks, "It seems you never have time for a vacation."
:* In episode 141, Heiji says about Conan, "Every time I see that guy a case occurs," ... about thirty seconds before a scream is heard and a body discovered.
:* In file 1088 Heiji said that the level of his Grim Reaper that gets him involved in cases is not high as Conan’s.
:* And during The Mystery in the Netcase (File 311-313/episodes 246-247) where the Detective Boys and Ran and Sonoko independently wind up at the same beach, Sonoko says of Conan, "The reason we didn't bring him was that there are always cases when he's around!"
:** Later in the same episode, Haibara learns where Conan and the others are after they're late returning to their hotel (having discovered a murder while she was not present) by asking the hotel staff if there is a murder being investigated nearby.
:* At the beginning of the first file of the paper aeroplane case, Conan notices how he seems to be running into cases all the time. This is the first time he's ever noticed, and this is over 600 chapters into the manga.
:* Except that in the very first chapter of the whole manga, he tells Ran that murders "happen all the time", which implies that encountering a lot of murders is normal to him. The rate of cases must have ramped up even further for him to notice that something is odd.
:* In Zero Tea Time File 52 Amuro thought about Conan when he thought that something bad happens wherever you go like the Grim Reaper when Sakurako Yonehara talked about the grim reaper when she said she feels like she cursed because there are cases and police investigations happen at the places she works as a housekeeper.
* In episode 681, it's revealed Conan has Detective Chiba's phone number.
* According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book he likes curry the most, he and his dad like Yukiko's paella the most.
* According to [[Gosho Aoyama]], Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara are in no way related to each other.<ref>[https://conannews.org/fragerunde-mit-gosho-aoyama-day2023/49323/ ''Fragerunde mit Gosho Aoyama: DAY2023.''] ''ConanNews.org'' (in German). 16 February 2023. Retrieved 16 February 2023.</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Ran Mouri'''|毛利蘭|Mōri Ran}}, also known as '''Rachel Moore''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a main protagonist in the manga and anime series, ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is also the childhood friend-turned-girlfriend of [[Shinichi Kudo]].

== Background ==
[[File:Child Ran and Fusae.jpg|thumb|200px|First Grade Ran meets Fusae Campbell, ten years before the present storyline, and borrows her umbrella.]]
Ran is the daughter of [[Kogoro Mouri]], a private detective, and [[Eri Kisaki]], a lawyer. Her parents separated when she was seven,<ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> and one of her biggest goals is to get them back together. Her best friend besides Shinichi is her classmate [[Sonoko Suzuki]], who often teases her about her relationship with Shinichi. Her other friends include [[Masumi Sera]], [[Kazuha Toyama]] and [[Heiji Hattori]].

Ran first met Shinichi back in Sakura class. Ran began liking Shinichi when she noticed he was wearing a paper name badge like her, so she wouldn't be bullied for being the only one without a proper badge. Unknown to her, her homeroom teacher was secretly planning to kidnap her, which Shinichi - with his father's help - foiled. Ran seemed unaware of the plot. The two soon became close friends ever since.

When Ran and Shinichi were six, they snuck into [[Teitan Elementary School]] at night to uncover the truth behind a hat-wearing monster rumor. They met the elder [[Kaitou Kid]] in the school library who played a nasty prank on them before handing over a code inside a leather wallet. With the help of Agasa, Shinichi and Ran partially solved the case and Shinichi started to informally call Ran by her first name. That same year Ran met [[Fusae Campbell]] who was waiting to see if Agasa would appear at their promised meeting place. Fusae gives Ran her umbrella and asks Ran to buy one of her designer purses when she gets older.

At some point Both Ran and Shinichi with Ran's parents once visited one of Yoshiro Kinoshita shows and took a picture with him.<ref>File 131</ref>

At ten years old, Ran developed an interest in karate after witnessing national champion Satoru Maeda.<ref name="karate">[[Volume 8#File 072 - Night Baron|Volume 8, File 72: "The Night Baron"]]</ref> By age sixteen, she had developed into a highly-skilled martial artist, captaining Teitan High School's karate club.

Around a year before the series' start, Ran joined Shinichi on a trip to visit his parents in New York (her father being otherwise engaged by a community trip). She was there when Shinichi solved his first case and gained recognition as a detective. They met [[Yukiko Kudo]], his mother, and her actress friend, [[Sharon Vineyard]] (the public face of [[Vermouth]], a member of the [[Black Organization]]). Later that evening, she encountered [[Shuichi Akai]] who warned her there was a serial killer on the prowl in the area. Ran later encountered [[Vermouth]] in disguise as the serial killer. Vermouth would have fallen to her death, but Ran caught her arm and Shinichi helped her pull Vermouth to safety. Due to this, Vermouth gave Ran and Shinichi the nicknames "Angel" and "Cool Guy", respectively.<ref>[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volumes 34-35, Files 350-354: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Vermouth later showed hesitance to kill Ran and later [[Conan Edogawa]] (Shinichi's childhood form) as well,<ref name="e345">[[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Episode 345: Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night]]</ref> but whether or not it was because of any emotional attachment is unclear. It was during this trip that Ran realized her true feelings for Shinichi, finally realizing that she is in love with him.

Before the Tropical Land meetup, Shinichi and Ran visited Beika Aquarium together where Shinichi solved a case. After the case Shinichi accidentally making her drop her new cellphone on a sewer, he promises to replace it and take her to Tropical Land if she wins the Karate Championship as an apology, she also half-jokingly demands her new cellphone to be strapped with a sea cucumber strap, which Shinichi got for her.

After Shinichi's disappearance while on a trip to [[Tropical Land]] Amusement Park with her, Ran met Conan, who was introduced by [[Hiroshi Agasa]] as a "distant relative". At Agasa's request, Ran agreed to look after him, and immediately came to think of him as a surrogate little brother.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> Ran has come to suspect Conan's identity multiple times, but Conan always manages (helped by his friends like [[Ai Haibara]] and even [[Kaito Kid]]) to find a sufficient alibi to satisfy her concerns.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Scolding Ran.jpg|thumb|210px|Ran, scolding the culprits for putting Conan's life in danger.]]
Ran's greatest personality trait is that she genuinely cares for those she loves. She is also patient, kind, and nurturing. At the same time, she has a very overwhelming personality, quickly able to intimidate most people when angered. Even more, when angered enough, she can be very violent, venting her anger through launching random strikes on whatever is available. Like Shinichi, she highly values justice to the point of idealism. To avoid making Shinichi choose between her and his important case (which is useless because Shinichi has turned into Conan and can't return as of now), she has decided to wait for him to finish it, trusting his promise that he will come back, despite their separation causing Ran a lot of emotional pain.

She is also very hot-blooded and tends to act on impulses when the people she cares about are involved; the combination of jumping to conclusions and not hesitating to use karate on those who she perceives to have wronged someone has led to several "near-miss" misunderstandings. She is also not above using martial arts as a subtle threat to keep people, including her father, in line. In earlier stories, she would become violently suspicious if she thought Shinichi was philandering, although more recently his confessions (in the [[Holmes' Revelation]] Arc) have led her to trust his intentions.

[[File:Ran Sniper.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Ran, closing the curtains to prevent the snipers from shooting.]]
Ran is someone who values life immensely. Even if it is the life of someone threatening her own. This is proven during her trip to New York with Shinichi, despite a serial killer-disguised Vermouth pulling a gun on her, she didn't think twice about saving her when Vermouth was about to fall to her death; Another instance is when the detective agency was taken hostage by a man strapped with bombs, she closed the curtains to prevent the police snipers across the building from shooting the hostage-taker.<ref>The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency</ref>

Ran can be very brave and resourceful when she wants to be and has rescued Conan from trouble on many occasions. She has remained bold, steady, confident and calm in many situations that would usually cause others to remain frozen in fear, such as being threatened by a gun<ref name="e345"/> or surrounded by flames<ref>[[Movie 5]]</ref>. However, she has an irrational fear of the supernatural and is thus — unlike her friend Sonoko — no fan of anything related to the horror genre, so much that she completely forgets about her combat prowess. Like a lot of girls, she constantly screams when seeing a dead body.<ref name="e274">[[Truth About the Haunted House|Episode 274-275: Truth About the Haunted House]]</ref>

She also constantly tries to reunite her father and mother again, though with little success, thanks to the mutual stubbornness of both parents. Ran is very humble about her natural attractiveness, never using it to her advantage, even when men regularly try to flirt with her. At the same time, she can even be oblivious to men's interest in her, often to Sonoko's exasperation, who believes her wait for Shinichi to be hopeless. If made aware, Ran doesn't respond in kind due to her feelings for Shinichi.<ref>[[Episode 153]]</ref>Even though Ran is in love with Shinichi, she has repeatedly failed to convey her feelings (until The Crimson School Trip) because she suddenly becomes self-conscious.

[[File:Crybaby.jpg|thumb|210px|"I'm not a crybaby... so don't call me a 'crybaby' again."]]
Ran is noted as one who "cries a lot".<ref> Manga file: "Ran's Tears"</ref> Despite this, Ran is very self-sufficient and mature for her age, since her father Kogoro is often drunk, slovenly, and fiscally irresponsible. She handles many of the Mouri household's financial affairs and all the cooking and housework, plus often greets and provides refreshments for potential clients. In many ways, Ran has become the matriarch of her new family and has the final say in their actions; she makes it her duty to be a mother figure to both Conan and Kogoro. She is constantly taking care of Conan's general wellbeing. With Kogoro, she keeps a shape eye on him, making sure Kogoro doesn't slack off on his job plus is on his best behaviour when meeting people, and keeping his reckless antics to a minimum. She also appreciates fine art.

Like her father, Ran can become serious about a case, if it involves something personal to her. During the Night Baron murder, upon realizing that her idol Satoru Maeda was the most likely suspect, she - after considering what Shinichi would have done in her situation - made considerable effort to prove him innocent. Another time she helped an old classmate, accused of theft, proving her innocent. Ran also likes to rush wherever she goes, believing both her name and nature to be like the word "Run" from English. She even said to Shinichi, "My name is Ran! I was born to run!"

== Appearance ==
Ran is a light-skinned girl of above-average height. She has big, bluish-purple eyes and dark brown hair. Her hair is straight and hip-length, tucked behind her ears with short wavy bangs over her forehead. What was originally a wave in her bangs later evolved into a stylized triangular point. She is slender in the frame, yet sports an athletic and curvaceous build plus is noticeably well-endowed. She has been noted to greatly resemble her mother in her youth. Ran is also very beautiful, as described by many characters throughout the series. Many men have become infatuated with her in the series, as noted by Sonoko (much to Sonoko's annoyance before finding her own boyfriend)<ref>Episode 153</ref>. Ran was even offered more than once a [[An Elevator Murder Case| modelling job]]. When Ran was surprised to receive her first 'love letter', she was told by Sonoko that the only reason she didn't get so much more is that Shinichi is always with her. During "The Scarlet School Trip", it was said that Ran was one of the top ten girls in the 'Teitan High school Popularity Contest'; though her rank was not mentioned.

== Abilities ==
=== Martial arts ===
[[File:691-16.png|thumb|250px|left|Ran beats up a gangster.]]
Arguably Ran's most notable ability is her immense martial arts prowess. Despite her age, she is among the most proficient in the series. She is a black belt in karate (at least a 3rd-dan as she is also an instructor) as well as captain and ace of her high school team. She has won several tournaments, including regional tournaments in her age group.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> Her skills are comparable to and acknowledged by [[Makoto Kyogoku]], a world-class champion martial artist, able to attack in perfect sync with him.<ref>[[Volume 33#File 334 - Bloody Valentine 4|Volume 33, File 334: - "Bloody Valentine 4"]]</ref> Her deceptive might and skill has repeatedly been displayed on various targets. She can neatly chop through a glass bottle with her bare hands or effortlessly smash through stone pillars, steel shutters, and other large sturdy targets unharmed. From watching Shinichi play soccer over the years, Ran developed similar flexibility and accuracy in her kicks,<ref>[[Movie 16]]</ref> able to perform perfect split kicks. Her control can instantly shift and angle her stance, even in mid-strike, to change direction and type or stop her attacks at any moment. While doing this in mid-air, she can perform multiple consecutive strikes from each of her limbs. She is also well-trained in Judo by her father, showing great proficiency similar to him in submissions, locks, takedowns, and throws. Repeatedly in battle, her skill has taken out various and multiple skilled assailants much larger than herself even when outnumbered with great dexterity and efficiency, easily disarming/destroying the foes' weapons with a well-placed strike. Even more, most foes cannot counter their strikes and likewise are defeated with just a single move, which tends to send foes flying and rendered unconscious with noticeable injuries inflicted.

=== Physical prowess ===
[[Image:Ran Post.jpg|thumb|250px|Ran smashing a concrete post.]]
Ran has deceptively great raw strength for her slender form, able to easily subdue her much-larger father, hold up Vermouth when she almost fell to her death, crush binoculars in her grip, and even managed to pry open a powerless elevator door. Her raw strength was further established on a punching machine, scoring a 400 against a much larger man's score of only 348 who was a trained boxer, which damaged the system in the process. As a child, she could easily pick up other children her size. She is remarkably fast, able to quickly react to and knock away falling pipes and dodge a bullet up-close while on guard. Likewise, she can close the distance between her opponent and disarm them before most can react. Her strikes have shown similar speed, able to swat down a bee with a single kick. She is highly agile and coordinated, able to perform seamless parkour and free-running manoeuvres and can nimbly climb various terrains to reach targets or evade them. She can jump noticeable high into the air and execute multiple flips. Likewise, she can jump down from three stories high to calmly land on her feet. She can take the blunt force of a steel baseball bat unharmed and has unusually high amounts of stamina.<ref name="m9">[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref>

=== Intelligence ===
[[Image:Smart Ran.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Ran knowing Azusa is Vermouth in disguise.]]
Ran is quite intelligent. She solved a few cases on her own; Shinichi/Conan acknowledged she could be a skillful detective if she tried, even shown better it than several characters.<ref name="e196">[[The Invisible Weapon, Ran's First Investigation|Episode 196: The Invisible Weapon, Ran's First Investigation]]</ref> Ran also has regularly shown to have a sense of noticing when something is strange or out of place, although she doesn't always figure out on her own what it is. During the Macademy Awards, Ran noticed that Shinichi's father who was on TV (who was Yukiko in disguise) behaved unusually "cute" compared to his normally composed nature. During "The Betrayal's Stage", Ran also noticed Vermouth disguised as Azusa, despite her perfect impersonation, just from accidentally being called "Angel", a nickname only Vermouth has ever called her. Repeatedly, Ran has instinctively come to the same and correct belief that Shinichi and Conan are the same person, despite him going through various extreme lengths to fool her again. Ran has a very good memory and attention to detail, having used both to contribute to investigations more than once. She also has extensive knowledge of history and is capable of speaking and reading/writing English, however, she needs people to speak it slowly for her to understand.

Ran is able to understand [[Taka'aki Morofushi]] talk about the Three Kingdoms era.

=== Other skills ===
Besides martial arts, Ran is highly skilled in various other sports. She regularly scoring strikes in bowling, excels in skiing, and is a serving ace in tennis. Ran is very skilled in running a household, including cleaning, handling the bills, managing the budget, sewing and is especially praised for her cooking skills. She is musically talented, noted to be a very good singer and she can play the piano well. She has astonishingly good luck and instincts when it comes to gambling, lotteries, and any game of chance; she has never been known to lose once, regularly winning with advanced combos and earning grand prizes.<ref>[[Volume 8]]</ref><ref name="e75">[[Loan Company President's Murder Case|Episode 75: Loan Company President's Murder Case]]</ref> Likewise, Ran has shown very alert senses in darkness, able to notice an attacker with a weapon and strike to protect herself.<ref>File 041 - The First Victim!</ref> She also has perfect-pitch, able to recognize Shinichi's playing of the violin from a particular habit of his.

== Plot overview ==
=== Doubts about Conan's identity ===
[[File:EP482 6.jpg|thumb|200px|Ran and Conan]]
In time, Ran comes to suspect that Conan is Shinichi, despite what her common sense would say, but he always goes to great lengths to trick her and prove her wrong. There are, however, occasions where she appears to be sure that Shinichi and Conan are the same.

==== Monthly Presents Case (Manga: [[Volume 3|026-029]], Anime: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case|7]]) ====
[[File:EP7_11.png|thumb|200px|Episode 7]]
The first time Ran suspects Conan is in episode 7. After seeing how Conan, like Shinichi, can deduce someone's occupation by just touching the person's hand, Ran becomes very suspicious and keeps an eye on Conan during the whole case. However, Professor Agasa calls Ran with the voice changing bowtie at the end, freeing Conan of suspicion for a while.

==== Suspicious Uncle Case (Manga: [[Volume 14|131-134]], Anime: [[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|96]]) ====
[[File:096-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Episode 96]]
[[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|Another time]], when Ran finds Conan asleep on the sofa, she takes off his glasses and notices the striking resemblance he has to Shinichi as a child. She later confronts Conan about this resemblance, his similar powers of deduction, and even his shared lack of any musical knowledge. However, Shinichi's mother unexpectedly shows up and covers for Conan by explaining that Conan resembles Shinichi because they are distant relatives as because "Conan" is a distant relative of hers, specifically "the nephew of the grandfather of the cousin of the daughter of the brother of her uncle". and that Conan possesses Shinichi's deductive ability because he admires Shinichi and learns from him. Despite apologizing to Conan for doubting him, Ran does not lose her suspicions but keeps them to herself for a while, as noted by [[Yukiko]], telling Conan that Ran's last smile wasn't convincing her, immediately realising that the girl wasn't satisfied with her last answer and that she is keeping her suspicions for herself until she finds real proof.<ref>[[Volume 26|Volume 26, File 254: "An Infatuated Heart"]]</ref>

==== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 26|256-257]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|189-190]])====
[[File:191-1.png|thumb|200px|Episode 191]]
[[The Desperate Revival|When Conan is critically injured]] and requires a blood donation, Ran donates her blood without hesitation, knowing she and Shinichi share the same rare blood type. Since this act proves Ran's suspicions are correct, with the help of [[Ai Haibara]], Conan manages to fool Ran by allowing Shinichi to appear before her while Conan (Ai Haibara in disguise) is present.

==== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 47|483]], Anime: [[Ran's Suspicions|400]]) ====
[[File:Ran suspecting Conan.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Episode 400]]
In [[Ran's Suspicions]], Conan once forgets his cell phone on the couch and Ran, in the room at the time, remembers to send an email to Shinichi to let him know that she's going with her father on a case and that his presence would be most welcome as Kogoro could use the help. Right after sending the message, Conan's phone starts vibrating. Ran, quite perplexed by the perfect timing, checks his phone only to discover a new email (she hasn't seen the content yet). At that moment, Conan enters the room, and seeing his phone in Ran's hands, rushes towards it while shouting and grabs it back asking: "''Did you look?''". He quickly understands that Ran's email may have risen doubts about his identity.<ref name="e398">[[The Weird Family's Commission|Episode 398-399: The Weird Family's Commission]]</ref>

Following this event, Ran first believes that Shinichi often contacts Conan without her knowing, which would in some way explain how he always seems to help out on cases. Later on, after seeing Conan giving an important clue to the investigation team without making use of his cell phone (to eventually contact Shinichi like she was suspecting), she starts to believe that Conan is Shinichi thinking that past occurrences of both being present at the same time were just a trick he used to fool her.<ref name="e398" />

At the end of the day, Ran can retrieve Conan's phone. Late at night, after waiting for everybody to go to bed, she tries to get past the phone's PIN code to check whether her email is there or not. This, to her, would be undeniable proof that Conan is indeed Shinichi. After finally guessing the number equivalent of "Sherlock" to be the PIN code, she's surprised not to see her email there. She instantly tries a few times to resend another email but nothing comes up on Conan's phone. That's when Shinichi calls her complaining about the numerous emails she's been sending. Conan then knocks at the door and claims back his phone saying that he didn't want people looking inside because of messages he received from a girl he likes. It is later showed that Conan actually exchanged his phone with Agasa's (which are both of the same models) and used his phone upstairs to call Ran, while she was experimenting with the Professor's phone, to create this whole alibi. Shinichi then tells Ran that she now knows his phone number. And Ran, pleased with the situation, clears her mind out of all suspicions she had about Conan's identity<ref>[[Ran's Suspicions|Episode 400: Ran's Suspicions]]</ref> - at least, consciously.

==== Kazuha's Charm Case (Manga: [[Volume 66|694-695]], Anime: [[The Whereabouts of the Embarrassing Charm|574]]) ====
[[File:574-1.png|thumb|200px|Episode 574]]
During "[[The Whereabouts of the Embarrassing Charm]]" case we can see that Ran's suspicions are arising again. This is thanks to [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]], who openly revealed that his charm had Shinichi's fingerprints during the "Murderer, Shinichi Kudo" case. Ran asks [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] how that's possible when it was only Conan and Heiji who touched it. Kazuha supposes that Heiji lent it to Shinichi at some point. Ran is doubtful and glances toward Conan. Later, Ran talks directly to Conan about the assault case they'd gotten involved in, and he points out that she should talk to Heiji. She responds with "I have a feeling you figured out the proof too", but thinks "Why do I think that?" Unconsciously she thinks she is talking to Shinichi.

==== Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|813-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|691]]) ====
[[File:691-13.png|left|thumb|200px|Episode 691]]
In [[Volume 77|manga chapter 814]] / [[Yusaku Kudo%27s Cold Case|Anime episode 690-691]], Conan and the girls solve a case similar to one [[Yusaku Kudo]] abandoned 10 years ago. While explaining the solution, Conan talks so convincingly that Ran feels a strong impression that Shinichi is the one speaking. It unnerves her to the point where she stops Conan, but he states that he's only reading Shinichi's e-mail.

==== Eri Kisaki Abduction Case (Manga: [[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|984-986]], Anime: [[Lawyer Kisaki's SOS|901-902]]) ====
When Eri was kidnapped, Ran became suspicious of Conan's identity after witnessing Conan's deductions and skills that lead them to the place where her mother was kidnapped. Ran told Conan that he must be Shinichi, but Conan manages to deceive her by recording himself speaking with Shinichi's voice advising her mother so she wouldn't be involved in the same case, which made Ran lose suspicions, much to Conan's relief.

==== Café Rice Flower Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 94#Café Rice Flower Murder Case|994-996]], Anime: [[The High School Girl Trio's Secret Café|919-920]]) ====

==== Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1000-1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|927-928]]) ====

== Non-canon plot overview ==
==== Movie 3: [[The Last Wizard of the Century]] ====
[[File:Movie3.jpg|thumb|200px|]]
In movie 3 when Natsumi and Seiran are revealing the date of their birthdays, which are May 3rd and May 5th, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] reveals his birthday is on May 4th. Ran is shocked as Conan's birthday is the same date as Shinichi's birthday. Ran begins to doubt Conan's identity and begins to suspect he and Shinichi are the same person, but she soon brushes off her beliefs, knowing it's a ridiculous possibility. However, despite her earlier remark, Ran continues to be suspicious of Conan throughout the movie as she keeps a close eye on him and listens closely whenever he is making a deduction, even telling her father to be quiet at one point. Later, when the Scorpion is about to shoot Ran, Conan hurriedly pushes Ran to avoid the bullet. At that moment, Ran imagines Conan to be Shinichi, thus increasing her suspicions of them being the same person. Later, when Ran and everyone escapes and witnesses the burning castle, everyone becomes worried about Conan. Ran refers to Conan as "Shinichi" as she witnesses the castle burning, confirming that Ran officially believes that Shinichi and Conan are the same person.

Later at the Mouri Detective Agency, Ran and Conan talk, where Ran thanks him for saving her but reveals he acted very much like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]. Ran begins to cry and asks Conan if she isn't crazy for thinking he and Shinichi are the same. Upon witnessing Ran crying as she reveals her suspicions, Conan realizes that he has to tell her the truth, but when he is about to reveal himself, Kid appears as Shinichi, making Ran believe once again that Shinichi and Conan are not the same.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Shinichi Kudo ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Image:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Shinichi and Ran.]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] and Ran Mouri have been close friends ever since pre-school.<ref>[[Memories from Sakura Class|Episode 853-854: Memories from Sakura Class]]</ref> Despite her open annoyance at his obsession with mysteries and Sherlock Holmes, she strongly admires Shinichi. She commends him for his intelligence, bravery, sense of justice, and loyalty as one of the most dependable people in her life. She even admitted to Conan that she is very attracted to Shinichi. While their regular closeness over the years has lead to teasing from their classmates as a couple, in truth, Ran admiration for him soon developed into romantic. Ran first realized this during their trip to New York together.<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 286-288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case]]</ref>

Despite this, she continued hiding these growing feelings for Shinichi, oblivious to the fact that he fell in love with her ever since they first met. She would constantly deny such feelings for Shinichi whenever it was brought up, even accepting one-time dates just to stop the accusations on her. Despite this, Ran has never had any minute interest in other men, regularly turning down their advances in the hope of one day being with Shinichi. Even more, she is shown to be very possessive and jealous when other women show interest in him, which has happened often due to Shinichi's looks and growing fame. Even more, during the [[Pro Soccer Player Blackmail Case]], when a girl claimed to be Shinchi's steady girlfriend, Ran was furious at this discovery and likewise relieved when she learned it was a lie.

Since Shinichi "vanished", Ran's feelings for Shinichi have only grown, but consequently mixed with constant worry for his well-being. Conan would regularly call her on the phone, impersonating his normal voice to allay her fears, but his long absence with no explanation other than a "tough case to solve" leaves her worried and hurt that even the times he does briefly appear, he vanishes before anything meaningful can be said. For a long time, Shinichi has said nothing of his feelings so that his absence won't hurt Ran worse than it already does; he also wishes to tell Ran the truth about his identity but chooses her safety above their happiness. Despite being Conan, Shinichi has lost nearly all of his strength and physical skills from years of training, he is still as committed as ever to protect Ran, and Shinichi hates to see her hurt in any form, especially by him. Ran's love for Shinichi has remained so strong and pure, she has come to recognize his nature completely. She can easily tell it is him just from seeing his hand. Despite being convinced that Shinichi isn't Conan, she seems to know his identity subconsciously.

[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|200px|Shinichi reveals his feelings for Ran.]]
Despite their "long-distance" relationship and never admitting their feelings, Ran and Shinichi have formed a strong bond that implies their true feelings. To which, Shinichi and Ran also appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making them almost impossibly aware of when the other is in extreme danger, and often able to sense the other's worried thoughts.<ref>[[Volume 36#File 372 - The Most in This World...|Volume 36, File 372: "The Most in This World..."]] and [[Volume 37#File 373 - Bye Bye|Volume 37, File 373: "Bye-Bye"]]</ref> They have shared many romantic moments, such as when Shinichi bought Ran a pair of red gloves for Christmas,<ref name=Karaoke>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> or when she earnestly knit a sweater for him. Much time later in London, Ran's distress at Shinichi's seeming coldness to her and likewise still oblivious to her feelings for him led Shinichi to confess his feelings for her; an act that left Ran so astonished that she didn't say anything in return. Later, during their School Trip to Kyoto, Ran finally responded to Shinichi's confession with a kiss on the cheek. Shinichi was about to kiss her on the lips, which she eagerly awaited, but he began to transform back into Conan, forcing him to leave early. Shortly afterwards, the two exchanged emails, confirming that they are boyfriend and girlfriend now, much to her giddy bliss.

==== Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Mouri family}}
Ran remains close to both [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Eri Kisaki|Eri]] even though they have been separated for ten years. Her constant hope is that they finally get together again, and on occasion, she even plays (re-)matchmaker by arranging not-so-accidental meetings between them. However, while possible, any reunion has so far been constantly hampered by their mutual stubbornness as well as the occasional criminal incident taking place in the immediate vicinity. While loving them both dearly and admiring their respective work, it is only her mother that Ran openly admires and looks to for advice, whereas she openly wishes her father would act more dignified.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
[[Image:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran and Sonoko.]]
[[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] and Ran have been best friends ever since they were children.<ref name=Magic>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko was often there to help Ran whenever she was bullied by other school children, more so than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]].<ref name=Magic/> Sonoko and Ran are often shown walking together after school. Sonoko often invites Ran to join her on trips or events hosted by the Suzuki family (most commonly her [[Jirokichi Suzuki|uncle]]'s showdowns with [[Kaitou Kid]]). They also go out shopping or to karaoke together.<ref name=Karaoke/> She also seems to notice Ran's emotional attention to others. When Ran believed that Conan was Shinichi, Sonoko noticed that Ran was behaving lovey-dovey toward Conan.

Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=Loli>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

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

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

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Despite having rather different temperaments and personalities, Kazuha and Ran have several things in common, including proficiency in martial art, father's connection to police work and detective work, and detective-obsessed childhood love interests. Kazuha was initially cold and rude to Ran, suspecting her of being interested in Heiji. However, thanks to Kazuha's frankness and Ran's accommodating nature, the girls quickly overcame this misunderstanding. They have since become close friends and seem to regard each other as confidantes since they are in similar romantic situations: Ran and Shinichi cannot confess their feelings for each other, as Shinichi is, aside from telephone calls, physically absent from her life, and Kazuha and Heiji cannot confess their feelings for each other due to their stubbornness and irascibility. After learning that Shinichi confessed his romantic feelings for Ran, Kazuha strongly encouraged Ran to reveal her own back to him. While Conan/Shinichi and Heiji are on cases together, Ran and Kazuha almost always spend time together. When Kazuha visits the Mouris' in Tokyo with Heiji, she is shown to share Ran's bed.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
[[Heiji]] and Ran are very good friends, bonding after Heiji's many trips to Tokyo because he "misses Conan". Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side.

Since Heiji knows that Ran is Shinichi's Girlfriend, he tends to tease Shinichi about her quite often and will give him advice on his romantic relationship with her. He is also sometimes protective of her for the sake of Shinichi, such as when Soshi Okita flirted with Ran and he told him to back off since she is "his best friend's gal" referring to Shinichi. Since it's practically identical to his relationship with Kazuha (Even though they aren't on the same level as Shinichi & Ran's romantic relationship).

Heiji almost views Ran as a sister, as he will tease her from time to time and he'll help explain things to her during cases along with Kazuha.
He acts brotherly toward Ran, on several occasions, he often called her "sister" (nee-chan in Japanese). Despite this, they have become very good friends.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Masumi and Ran are high school classmates who met each other in the past. During the "Which Sweets Show" murder case, when Ran sees Masumi running away from her from behind, she hears the sound of rippling waves and feels a spell is cast on her. After the murder case at the pool in Hotel Hyde Pride was solved, Sonoko says Masumi is a magician, but Masumi denies that. Because the conversation about magicians sparked a memory in Ran's mind, Ran asked her if they met before; unfortunately, Sonoko interrupts them and so the question was never answered.

=== Detective Boys ===
==== Ai Haibara ====
[[Image:Ran saves Ai aspect ratio fixed.jpg|thumb|200px|Ran saved Ai Haibara as she was about to be shot by [[Vermouth]] and [[Calvados]].]]
There are instances where [[Haibara]] will caution Conan from actions that involve Ran, though it's assumed this is due merely to the fact that she wants to keep her identity hidden. At one point, she was very cold and distant towards Ran, just like she was to most other people. Ran believed that it was because that Haibara had hated her.<ref>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref> However, later that day, after hearing Ran speak about the nature of justice to a criminal, Haibara finally properly introduced herself to Ran and they slowly became friends.

Haibara considers Ran to resemble her older sister, Akemi Miyano, so she takes a special interest in protecting her. These feelings began after Ran jumped through a slew of bullets from [[Calvados]] (and later [[Vermouth]]), to save Haibara and hold her down to the ground to shield her from the gunfire.<ref name="e345"/> Haibara is reminded of Akemi and begins to treat Ran with more personal investment. When at a later point Haibara learns that [[Korn]], [[Chianti]], and the rest of the Black Organization are lurking about, Haibara begs for Ran to stay at Agasa's house, immediately thinking of her own sister's death, and wanting to keep Ran safe.<ref>[[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!]]</ref>

==== Ayumi Yoshida, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, and Genta Kojima ====
The three kids respects and treats Ran as an older sister figure. There have been many instances when Genta and Mitsuhiko would note that Conan acts differently around Ran and would often tease him for it. During the fifth movie, Countdown to Heaven, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi both asked to meet with Ran in privacy with Ayumi asking Ran to let Conan's feelings down because she is sure he likes her; while Mitsuhiko asked for advice regarding his feelings for both Ayumi and Haibara. While inside the virtual reality world in The Phantom of Baker Street, Genta offers Ran his jacket following suit of what Conan and Mitsuhiko did for Ayumi and Haibara. Ran also rescued the kids several times and vice versa during abduction/hostage situations.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Vermouth ====
[[Image:Ran saves Vermouth.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Ran saved Vermouth (disguised as a serial killer) back in New York.]]
Ran was a fan of the actress [[Sharon Vineyard]] and is currently unaware of Sharon's double-life as Chris Vineyard and Vermouth. Vermouth has a great deal of respect for Ran and protects her from the Organization's activities because Ran unknowingly saved a disguised Vermouth from falling to her death during the Golden Apple case (even though she was about to kill Ran).<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 286-288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case]]</ref> Vermouth's codename for Ran is "Angel".

=== Others ===
==== Eisuke Hondou ====
In [[The Blind Spot in the Karaoke Box]], [[Eisuke Hondou|Eisuke]] expresses romantic interest in Ran. He admits to Conan that he loves Ran and claims that he wants to take Ran to America to live happily ever after there, and to ask for Shinichi's permission. Conan, without hesitating, refuses his permission, which confirms his true identity to Eisuke.

==== Tomoaki Araide ====
[[Tomoaki Araide]] and Ran Mouri became friends while Araide was acting as a temporary basketball coach in place of a teacher who broke his leg. During "The Unseen Angle of the Darkness" Conan wrongly came to the conclusion that Ran was attracted to Araide. In truth, she wanted to borrow his sweater to knit a similarly patterned one for Shinichi. Some anime-original features play with the idea that Araide is interested in Ran, most notably in the OVA story [[The Stranger from Ten Years Later]] where he proposed to her, but this was only a dream of Conan's and can be ignored.

==== Subaru Okiya ====
[[File:691-4.png|thumb|200px|Ran apologizing to Subaru.]]
Ran lied to [[Subaru Okiya|Subaru]] about Shinichi's fact because she felt that something terrible will happen to Shinichi if she did. She made Subaru confused about Shinichi and "Kinichi" but later in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]], Ran apologizes to Subaru for lying and told him the truth. In this episode, Subaru finds out that Conan is Shinichi.

==== Mary Sera ====
Before Ran walks home after the murder case at the pool in Hotel Hyde Pride is solved, she turns around and sees Masumi talking to Mary. Ran thinks she has seen that child before.

== Fan theories ==
*''Ran's 17th birthday will play a major role during the main plot of Detective Conan.''

In an interview given on January 3, 2012, Gosho Aoyama revealed that there is an "obstacle" preventing him from revealing Ran's birth date, "but since the birthday hasn't passed Ran is 16 right now".<ref name="Goshodayinterview" />

* ''It's possible that Ran knows Conan is Shinichi and is simply hiding it.''

The reasoning behind this is that Ran should know that the Fingerprint evidence is Ironclad, meaning Conan HAS to be Shinichi, and in the Cold Case episode, where Conan should have phrased it as "Shinichi's father" instead of Dad, as anyone reading an email from someone else that was sent to them out loud to someone else would normally do. Another piece of evidence is when Ran talked to Conan about giving him her blood while helping Eisuke out to find his birth records. She brings it up, yet does not question how she knew Conan's blood type, or why Conan never questioned it himself. Additionally, back on the Cold Case file, she stops him while reading the email, and while she does not tell him out loud, the images we see imply she recognizes him as Shinichi because instead of showing the adult Shinichi, we see child Shinichi. She likely did this to stop him from revealing this in front of Sonoko and Sera, having him quickly make up an excuse in front of both of them so they don't get clued in. When you piece these three moments together, it is reasonable to conclude she not only knows but is protecting Conan/Shinichi's identity consciously, though it is highly doubtful she knows why.

She can probably conclude though her father cannot be trusted with the truth.

* ''It is possible that Ran will play a major role in the final battle with the organization and will save Shinichi's life. ''

== Name origin ==
Ran's Japanese name derives from the Japanese rendering of [[Maurice Leblanc|Maurice Leblanc]] (from ''Mouri''su Rubu''ran'', according to Aoyama). Ran (蘭) itself means "orchid," which is also one of the flower tiles in [[Wikipedia: Mahjong|Mahjong]].<ref name=Magic/> "Ran Mouri" is also the name of a writer of the anime ''[[Wikipedia: Lupin III: Part II|Lupin III: Part II]]'', a source of inspiration for ''Detective Conan''.<ref>[http://twitter.com/conan_dana_/status/367654320365256704/photo/1 Twitter]</ref>

A. I guess it would have to be the heroine, Ran. I like Ran, and the special girl would be Haibara. I think about Haibara's comments in the Conan News Agency, too; she's become my spokeswoman, hasn't she?

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

== Background ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Young Kogoro in school.]]
Kogoro is a private investigator,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> but he prefers to laze around his office all day unless his client is a beautiful woman. Kogoro attended Teitan High School, the same high school as his daughter [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], along with [[Eri Kisaki]] (his future wife), [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], and through kindergarten to middle school attended the same schools as the actress Ruri Ujo and Eri.<ref>[[Volume 37]]</ref> He then graduated from Beika University, where he was the ace of the judo team, though he was highly vulnerable to stage fright.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 086 - The Two Benkei Standing Deaths|Volume 9, File 86: "The Two Benkei Standing Deaths"]]</ref>

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

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was forced to adopt the identity of [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]] concluded that Shinichi couldn't openly continue investigating the [[Black Organization]] without attracting undue attention. To maintain his cover, Agasa suggested Shinichi move in with Kogoro and use him as a front. During a case Kogoro took soon after, he reached the wrong conclusion, and Conan knocked him out with an ashtray before he could accuse an innocent person. Kogoro conveniently falls unconscious in a reclining pose, and Conan uses his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice Changer]] to imitate Kogoro's voice, presenting his conclusions and the identity of the true murderer.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9: An Unfortunate Misunderstanding]]</ref> After a few more cases occur in this fashion (though Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] instead of an ashtray), Kogoro receives the title "Sleeping Kogoro" and a public reputation as a master detective.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref>. In the few instances where Kogoro remains awake for some reason, Conan still does the main detective work and uses Kogoro as his official mouthpiece by drawing Kogoro's attention to important clues he has uncovered.

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

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

Kogoro has several medical issues common amongst middle aged men: high uric acid and high cholesterol.<ref>File 975</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Kogoro's personality.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro in the morning.]]
[[Image:Kogoro and Yoko Okino.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro showboating in front of [[Yoko Okino]].]]
[[File:701 5.png|thumb|200px|Kogoro as "Poirot" Mouri|link=The Jet-Black Mystery Train]]
Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his clients. In cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor change and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does. <ref>[[Volume 37#File 376 - Kogoro's Choice 3|Volume 37, File 376: Kogoro's Choice 3]]</ref>

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

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

However he does, once in a while, show interest in things, he claims not to like, like asking what happened to three cats, that the Detective Boys found while searching for a missing girl, and pointing out that it was cruel for a victim to point at Genta and call him a criminal, despite that Genta, didn't do anything. Kogoro suffers from mild acrophobia (fear of heights) and is quite uncomfortable in high settings where he has the chance to see how high up he is,(though, it is more like this is only part of anime, not manga, in 40 volume interview Gosho said he doesn't know about it, he also in the manga doesn't have this problem),(for more detail see trivia, below).

Although he can drive, and even after he became famous, he simply uses rental cars anytime that he requires a vehicle, even though he is a Detective and father to a teenager. Not counting, when they took in Conan.

Ran and Conan seem to show more mobility, even though Ran does not drive, whereas Conan does go around town and [[Turbo Engine Skateboard|skateboard]] a lot and esp. in movies.

Kogoro loves money very much, as long as he is paid 1 million yen or more than that he does what the person wants him to do, but not every work. As stated in an anime original episode, he doesn't "sells himself to the devil".

Despite his arrogant personality, Kogoro has a strong sense of justice and care for human life like when one of his friends murdered another friend he told Kogoro "You don't understand anything", which Kogoro replied as "Yes, I don't, no matter what, I can't understand the reason for killing someone and I don't want to understand". He also stopped criminals from committing suicide or murdering someone.

He also has respect for his former superiours like for Megure whom he calls Inspector Megure-dono or Inspector-dono which puts respect. Also, Kogoro uses "Watashi" for saying I when talking to Megure instead of "ore", which "Watashi" puts respect and is formal while "ore" is informal and disrespectful. Another one is for Inspector Yuminaga, despite calling him fiery old fossil when a case was solved he saluted toward him for respect. He also puts respect toward Goro Otaki, head inspector of Osaka police, and toward high ranking officers at police for example for his former chief Kiyonaga Matsumoto, Superintendent General Hakuba or Director General of Osaka Heizo Hattori addressing all of them with dono.

He also doesn't like people who call him 'small mustache'.

In an anime original of episode 67, it was explained he inherited his shamelessness and flirtatious traits from his master Shiota Heihachiro which was a legendary great detective.

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

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

Thanks to Conan's undercover help in solving numerous cases, Kogoro's reputation as a detective grows quickly.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref> He hardly remembers the solutions of any cases because Conan knocks him out with tranquillizer darts before solving the case. However, Kogoro never seems to wonder about this fact and often boasts about his merits. Because of this, he has become nicknamed the '''{{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}}'''. [[Jugo Yokomizo]] often mistakenly calls him '''{{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|Kemuri no Kogorou}}''' because of his heavy smoking habits. Because of his (or rather, Conan's) tendency to coincidentally come across a crime scene, Inspector Megure has referred to Kogoro as a '''shinigami''' (death god).

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

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

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

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

== Plot overview ==
=== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|2-5]], Anime: [[Episode 2|2]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro takes the credit.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro happily takes the credits for "solving" the case.]]
This is Kogoro Mouri’s first depicted case in the series,<ref>Even though this is the first case of Kogoro in [[Detective Conan]], it is not his first case ever, since he has been a private detective since before the current timeline started.</ref> after [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|the event]] where [[Shinichi]] was turned into a child by the [[Black Organization]]. He is requested by phone to find Akiko Tani, who is suspected to have been kidnapped by “a large man dressed in black”. Kogoro then immediately calls a taxi to go to the Tani mansion in Yayoi, without knowing that [[Ran|his daughter]] and [[Conan|a strange kid]] has already jumped in with him. He expresses his excitement about the case, calling himself “Great Detective”, but only to be sarcastically addressed as “Confused Detective” by the two instead.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 2, Page 28]]; the two characters 名 (renowned) and 迷 (confused) have the same pronunciation (mei) and can be used as a pun.</ref> Kogoro becomes furious and questions Ran about the identity of the strange kid, then intends to get rid of them from the car. He is unable to do so, however, as they are on a highway.

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

=== Bloody Idol Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|6-9]], Anime: [[Episode 3|3]]) ===
[[File:KogoroRose.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro holding a rose, trying to act "charming" in front of Yoko.]]
This case marks the very first appearance of '''“Sleeping Kogoro”'''. [[Conan]] wakes up in the morning and finds a slothful Kogoro drinking beer and watching television shows, including the musical performance of his idol star, [[Yoko Okino]]. [[Agasa]] advises Conan to build Kogoro into a great detective, to find cases related to the [[Black Organization]], but Conan doubts if that is even possible given Kogoro's laziness.

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

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

=== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|10-12]], Anime: [[Episode 38|38]])===
[[File:Kogoro suspects Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro is suspicious about Conan's identity.]]
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]]'s identity for the first time in this case. When talking to the boy, Kogoro suddenly feels like he has seen Conan from somewhere before. He thinks that it might have been around the time when Ran was still in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 010]]</ref> Later, when Kogoro is investigating the death of a man whom he has been hired to observe for three days, Conan provides a hint by pointing out that every picture of the suspect taken during the supposed time of the murder has clocks in them, which helps Kogoro figure out that they must have intentionally been taken that way to make people see the "alibi". Kogoro immediately finds it strange that whenever it seems like he has been stuck, Conan always gives him some kind of clue, just like in the previous cases. He, for the first time, notices that Conan is not an ordinary child and begins to wonder who the boy is. However, after Conan purposefully messes up with other photos, Kogoro completely loses his suspicions, thinking: "A brat is a brat after all..."<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 12]]</ref>

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

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

[[File:Volume 4 File 032.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro's first fame.]]
[[Ran]] forces Kogoro and Conan to go to a medieval-themed art museum exhibit because she heard a rumor about a knight armor that moves by itself at night. The three of them browse the museum, though Kogoro and Conan lack enthusiasm. However, when they walk into a gallery called the "Room of Hell", Ran discovers the corpse of the museum's new owner, Manaka, been brutally slashed and impaled on a sword. After the police arrive, Kogoro watches the security camera recording of the murder with them, showing that the culprit had been waiting for Manaka inside the exhibition room inside a knight's suit of armor. The armor both hid the murderer's identity and mirrored a painting in the gallery called "Divine Punishment" that depicts a knight having gruesomely killed a monster. Kogoro recalls the fact that the entrance to the "Room of Hell" was blocked during the time of the murder, indicating that the culprit must have been among the museum staff, as they know the museum and could access the equipment. With Conan's help, the police discover a dying message inside Manaka's hand. The crumpled note has the name "Kubota" written on it.

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

=== Kogoro's Class Reunion (Manga: [[Volume 9|84-86]], Anime: [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|27-28]]) ===
[[File:Angry Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro is furious because the murderer is one of his friends.]]
Kogoro brings [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are [[Jun Omura]], model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 3]]</ref> Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 11]]</ref>

[[File:Kogoro KOs Kazushi.png|left|thumb|200px|Kogoro knocks out Kazushi with Judo.]]
Much later in the evening, when everyone gets back to the inn from the fireworks location (even though most of them got lost, they find out that Yumi is still sleeping, and decide to wake her up. Much to their surprise, the moment they walk into Yumi's room, she has already been shot. Kogoro, together with Kazushi, take the role of investigating her death before the police arrive. Using professional techniques, they conclude that Yumi has been dead since 7 hours ago when they all went to the ping-pong room. Just, as usual, Kogoro becomes furious at Conan's interference, despite the boy's hints, and claims that she has committed suicide. However, right after Conan intentionally asks him how Yumi was shot, he rushes to her body and finds out that there are no burn marks around the wound, which wouldn't make sense if it was a suicide. Kogoro then concludes that his friend was murdered.

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

[[File:Cheerful Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro has got his "spirit" back.]]
Seeing Kogoro's determination, despite having found out the truth behind the murder, Conan decides not to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] this time and chooses to give Kogoro clues so he can solve the case by himself. With Conan's help, Kogoro is able to figure out that the culprit is Kazushi Nakamichi. Yumi was killed after playing ping-pong with Kazushi after 6 PM, that way, her muscle would harden much faster than usual. Another evidence was when Kazushi knew for sure that she had been dead the moment they discovered her corpse. When Kazushi confesses and says that she was a demon who was destroying his life, Kogoro sarcastically asks him who the real demon is. Kazushi angrily grabs his yukata, only to be thrown by Kogoro, who thinks that he doesn't want to understand the feeling of a killer.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 16]]</ref> It is then revealed that Kogoro is the "strongest person" whom Kazushi was talking about earlier. He compliments Kogoro, saying he is still as strong as ever. However, Kogoro answers that Kazushi is the one who got weaker in both strength and mind.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 17]]</ref>

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


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

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

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



=== Scuba Diving Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|163-165]], Anime: [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|114-115]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro Eri beach.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro encounters Eri at Izu.]]
Kogoro, [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] vacation at a beach in Izu. When Ran asks her father to look at her new swimsuit, he tells her to keep quiet because it will be harder for him to flirt with women once they know that he's together with her. Suddenly, Kogoro notices a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing right next to them and excitedly asks if she needs any sun cream. To his surprise, when the woman turns around, he finds out that it is none other than [[Eri Kisaki|his wife]]. Kogoro and Eri soon realize that the coincidental encounter was set up by Ran in an attempt to get them back together. They react poorly to being manipulated and mock each other until Kogoro leaves to use the toilet. Ran starts to worry after Kogoro is gone for some time, but Eri predicts that Kogoro stopped flirting with other women. When Kogoro comes back, he is indeed shown with two young girls, Kiwako Toda and Harumi Matsuzaki. The situation worsens when Eri notices traces of sand on Kogoro's legs, and assumes he must have been kneeling while applying sun scream to those girls at the beach, then brought them back to show off to her. However, Conan suspects that Kogoro went searching for Eri's lost wedding ring until Kogoro’s goofiness makes Conan dismiss the idea.

[[File:Kogoro Eri giving cards.jpg|thumb|200px|The relationship between the two is still very tense despite Ran's efforts.]]
Later, with the invitation from the university students, the Mouri family have lunch together at a seaside restaurant. When Ran once again attempts to alleviate the tense relationship between Kogoro and Eri by commenting that Kiwako Toda and her boyfriend Masahiko Matsuzaki are childhood friends like they were, Kogoro sarcastically tells them that many couples have suffered in marriage for loving a friend they’ve known since childhood. He and Eri even give the young couple their business cards and recommend the two to seek them in case “he suspects that his wife is cheating” or because “they plan to divorce and she wants to get a lot of alimony from her husband”.

[[File:Kogoro returns ring.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro returns the ring back to Eri.]]
After Kiwako Toda goes diving with Ran and gets bitten by a sea snake, Ran is asked to identify it. Kogoro compliments his daughter for having a good sense of observation, but Eri takes advantage of the topic and comments that she is completely different from “a certain someone who still hasn’t even noticed that his wife’s finger is empty”. However, Kogoro acts as if he doesn’t understand Eri’s hint. Later, as Kogoro is about to drive Kiwako’s friends to the hospital, Eri decides to drop Ran and Conan off there and then goes home right away. However, Kogoro informs her with a serious expression that he has something to tell her after the case is resolved. At the hospital, when Eri is about to leave after seeing Kogoro to some girls, Conan asks a nurse to call Eri and Harumi Matsuzaki and tells them to go to an office to see Kogoro. He then immediately lures Kogoro into becoming "Sleeping Kogoro" and reveals that the culprit is none other than Harumi. Conan also adds that Eri didn't purposely remove the wedding ring to attract Kogoro’s attention. After the case is solved, it is revealed that Kogoro did indeed go search for the wedding ring, which explains the sand traces on his legs, as he knelt on the sand to do so. Kogoro takes the ring out of his pocket and throws it to Eri. He says that he figured it out because Eri was drying her hair with her glasses on; normally no one would do that unless they’re trying to find something on the ground. He also assumes that Eri intentionally dropped her ring and tried to make him see that by using her left hand to hold the cup and continuously waving it around. Just as their relationship looks to be improved by this act, Kogoro completely ruins the moment by showing off with the female nurses, which enrages Eri and she leaves right after.

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

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

[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A healed relationship?]]
Later, Kogoro accompanies the lawyers back to the hotel, where he, while unconscious, is instead brought to Usui's room as one of her tactics to ruin Eri's career by having "the queen" suspect that her husband has been cheating on her. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Usui is strangled by an unknown culprit with Kogoro being the only one found sleeping inside the locked crime scene. He is then suspected to have committed the murder.

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

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

The dinner doesn't go as well as planned. Kogoro behaves in his usual casual manner, acting indifferent to Eri's presence and seemingly having no intention of giving Eri the necklace.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:EP400 2.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro and Eri]]

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

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File: EP526 6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Ran.]]
Kogoro has raised his daughter Ran ever since he and Eri separated. She often has to look after her father because of his drinking and gambling habits. She is very determined to get her parents back together and tries every chance she gets to make them reconcile, though her attempts usually fail. Kogoro is very protective of Ran and deeply cares for her. There are many times when Kogoro shows concern for his daughter's safety, often getting serious when Ran is in trouble. He is also concerned about Ran's relationship with Shinichi, who he thinks always tries to seduce Ran (movie 'Captured In Her Eyes') and Episode 919, and can get agitated whenever his daughter's honour is threatened. This is evident from Kogoro's angry outburst at Ran's sleepy mumblings about the somewhat offensive words Shinichi had said to her aboard the flight to New York, in the episode 'The Locked Room In The Sky: Shinichi's First Case'. In chapter 924 when a group of three adults tried to kidnap 4-year-old Ran in kindergarten, and Kogoro had a very furious look on his face when he was about to arrest one of them. In episode 189 he gave her his coat to keep her warm when she slept at Conan side in his hospital room after giving him a blood fusion and told Conan that Ran gave Conan a lot of blood and if Conan doesn’t get better soon he will never forgive him. Kogoro doesn't actively try to wane Ran's love for Shinichi, but he has often advised her to give up on him.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP415 3.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan beaten by Kogoro for interfering in crime scene.]]

Kogoro took in Conan after he had 'solved' the case in episode 2, saying that Conan was his 'luck' and allowing Conan to live with them, but he mostly leaves it to Ran to take care of the boy. However, on multiple occasions, he has treated Conan nonchalantly, terming him a 'freeloader'. He has been suspicious of Conan's behavior at times but quickly drops his suspicions as ridiculous. Ever since Yukiko (disguised as Conan's nonexistent mother) gave Kogoro a large sum of money for Conan's expenses, he has been more than happy to take care of Conan. While Kogoro often shows a level of disregard towards his ward and has a habit of hitting Conan for disturbing him during investigations, there are rare moments where it is apparent he has become quite protective of Conan as well and considers him a normal part of the family.

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

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

==== Rei Furuya ====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rei wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]][[Rei Furuya]] (under the alias Tooru Amuro) became Kogoro's apprentice in the [[Wedding Eve]] case in exchange for a large fee every time Kogoro brought him on a case. Rei tends to act ingratiatingly whenever Kogoro Mouri is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Rei's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Rei flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the [[Black Organization]], Rei doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Rei is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Rei is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.

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

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

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

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

== New Voice ==
Starting with [[The Interrogation Room|Episode 553]], Akira Kamiya's contract was not renewed.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Lupin 2-05 Kogoro.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro's flashy gold business cards]]
* In the movie continuity, Kogoro's practice of using ostentatious gold business cards carries over from [[Private Eye in the Distant Sea]] to [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]].
* Although Kogoro suffers from acrophobia, he sometimes seems to forget about his fear. For instance, he leans over the railing of a balcony on the 21st floor in episode 69 (Night Baron Murder Case). Furthermore, he feels perfectly comfortable onboard a plane in episode 162 (The locked Room in the Sky, Shinichi Kudo's First Case). In episode 596 (the Alibi of the Fall), he looks out of a window from the 6th floor, but then "remembers" his fear and recoils. The discontinuity is probably because Kogoro's fear was invented for [[Movie 2]] and did not originate in the manga where Kogoro is relatively fine around cliffs and tall buildings.
* Physician confirms that Kogoro would not survive Conan's stun-gun.<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-03-04/physician-confirms-that-detective-conan-kogoro-would-not-survive-conan-stun-gun/.143964 Anime New Network]</ref>
*In File 1047 and the Policewoman Serial Murder case, it’s revealed that he is involved with the neighbourhood association.
*It's revealed that in File 921 that Kogoro and his family use to live in an apartment before moving to the Mouri Detective Agency.
*According to Gosho in JUSTICE PLUS Super Digest Book, when Kogoro was Yuminaga-san’s subordinate Kogoro was scolded countless times because he trampled down an arson scene.
*According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book when he first ate Eri hi rad dish of beef stew he threw up
* According to Super Digest Book 100+ Kogoro ’s winning ticket in Wakita’s first appearance, was actually planted.

'''{{nihongo|Genta Kojima|小嶋元太|''Kojima Genta''}}''', also known as '''George Kaminski''' in the English dub and manga, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Genta Background Clear.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Genta]]
Genta Kojima is a student in [[Teitan Elementary School]] when [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] joins his class as [[Conan Edogawa]]. Shortly afterwards, he and his classmate [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] decide to investigate an apparently haunted mansion, and they persuade Conan to come along. When their friend and classmate [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] expresses his skepticism about supernatural hauntings, Genta forcefully 'persuades' him to tag along as well. As it turns out, the haunting is a cover-up for an old homicide case.

Soon after, the accidental acquisition of a treasure map leads Ayumi, Genta, Mistuhiko and Conan on a hunt for a cache of stolen Italian gold coins, during which Conan saves them from getting killed by the mafia members who are also after the gold. After the case is resolved, Mitsuhiko joins Genta and Ayumi in forming the nucleus of an amateur detective group, the [[Detective Boys]].<ref>Manga Chapter 39: Code Sheet Case: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref> Genta is quick to pronounce himself the leader of the group, but his lackadaisical leadership abilities are commonly neglected in the field, and in fact everyone (even Genta) unconsciously views Conan as the group's actual leader. Genta's school shoe locker is used as a mailbox for any of their fellow students to present them with a case to solve.

Genta is apparently an only child living with his parents, who run a liquor store called "Kojima Liquors". He also has an uncle who lives in Gifu.<ref name="Uncle">[[Volume 35#File 360 - Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3|Volume 35, File 360 "Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3", page 18]]: "Hey, I'm going to see my uncle in Gifu soon..."</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Genta is the self-proclaimed leader of the Detective Boys. He loves food, especially braised eel on rice, and can eat more than all the other Detective Boys members combined. When discussions of money come up, Genta tends to think about it in terms of how many eel bowls he could buy. He also tends to mess up certain Japanese terms with similar-sounding words (especially if the latter are related to food) and sometimes has trouble reading even the most common Kanji, which on occasion causes some ridicule from his classmates and friends. His brash personality, lack of awareness of his surroundings, and tendency to not think before acting often lands the Detective Boys (or at least himself) in sticky situations.

Even though he is brash, outspoken and can be intimidating, Genta is actually very kind and dependable. He is a good friend of [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and has been shown to greatly admire [[Genji Kojima|his father]], who is considered to be a classic [[wikipedia:Edokko|"Child of Edo"]].

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Ayumi Yoshida ===
[[File:EP418 7.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Genta imagines Ayumi as his wife.]]
Genta clearly has a crush on his teammate [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], and as a result he, along with Mitsuhiko, is rather jealous of Conan because she likes him the most. He and Ayumi have been friends since pre-school.

=== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya ===
Genta and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] are generally on very good terms with each other, and are also just as mutually jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi decides to give him her full romantic attention. However, the two do not feel rivalry with each other, likely because Ayumi treats them both only as friends.<ref>Anime episode 418: ''[[Home of Beika's Grenier]]''</ref>

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Genta's relationship with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is multi-faceted. While he generally admires Conan for his intelligence, courage and expertise, in his brashness he frequently attempts to promote himself as the leader of the [[Detective Boys]]. He also tends to become very jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi has set her romantic intents on him.

=== Ai Haibara ===
Genta initially expressed some interest in [[Ai Haibara]], but while his interest has cooled off somewhat because of her adult-like manner, the two generally remain on a good standing with each other. Nevertheless, Genta sees her as one of his friends and does not hesitate to help her when the situation demands it.

== 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. Genta placed 23rd in the poll with 19 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』人気投票結果|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

* Genta's family name "Kojima", 小嶋, means "little island". His first name "Genta", 元太, is written with the kanji for "origin" and "plump, fat" and hence may be translated as "originally fat"
*In File 1039 it been suspected by Haibara that Genta has a shellfish allergy though it is not confirmed yet.

After the case is resolved, Mitsuhiko joins Genta and Ayumi in forming the nucleus of an amateur detective group, the [[Detective Boys]].<ref>Manga Chapter 39: Code Sheet Case: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref>

Mitsuhiko's parents are both teachers, and he has an older sister, [[Asami Tsuburaya]], about ten years his senior. Mitsuhiko doesn't like to eat carrot but be careful.<ref>[[Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision|Episode 289: Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision]]</ref>

== Personality ==
[[File:Mitsuhiko - Impressed Ayumi.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Mitsuhiko happy to have impressed Ayumi.]]
Mitsuhiko enjoys reading science books and takes a scientific approach to problem-solving. He is a smart and well-read first-grader who believes that technology can solve most problems. Due to his strict and formal upbringing by his parents, he tends to be very formal towards his elders, addressing them (in Japanese) with the formal suffix "-san" without regard to the intimacy of their relationship.<ref name=358p8>Volume 35, File 8, pg 8: "Mitsuhiko's Disappearance 1"</ref>
[[File:Mitsuhiko daydreams about Haibara Ai.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Mitsuhiko daydreams about marrying Ai.]]
It has been shown at numerous times that Mitsuhiko really likes to be prepared for any occasion. He enjoys studying scientific, historic and general subjects for his own interest and fun. This eventually allows him to provide useful insights whenever necessary. He's been (or felt) rewarded a few times for his knowledge. In one instance, Ayumi said how impressed she was after Mitsuhiko provided some precise historical facts behind the Ohashi House in Kurashiki, and he thought to himself with a big happy smile on his face: "I'm so glad I studied!".<ref name="ep377">[[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour|Episode 377-378: Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour]]</ref>
[[File:Mitsuhiko explains a riddle.png|thumb|left|200px|Mitsuhiko explaining a riddle.]]
One of his other qualities is that he tends to be proactive in many situations and thinks ahead to possible outcomes. For example, while the [[Detective Boys]] were trying to solve riddles they found in a Momotaro container in a small river in Kurashiki, a murder occurred which eventually led to the different codes to get burned. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], knowing that resolving those codes would lead to concrete proof as to who the murderer might be, was quite pleased when Mitsuhiko proudly announced that he took notes in his Detective Boys notebook "thinking that something like that could happen".<ref name="ep377"/> He has often been shown as shrewder and more quick-witted than Genta and Ayumi, sometimes leading the investigation when Conan and Haibara aren't present.

Despite the preciousness of his intelligence, Mitsuhiko remains an elementary school child, and enjoys activities of his age, such as making a snowman or treasure hunting. As a consequence, he is best friends with Genta and Ayumi.

Mitsuhiko has a dislike for carrots, and will always eat them last (if ever) if he can help it.

== Plot overview ==
=== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 25#Dangerous Cave Case|251]]-[[Volume 26#Dangerous Cave Case|254]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|188-189]]) ===
After the Detective Boys have been trapped in a cavern, and after Conan has fainted, Mitsuhiko, hinted by Conan's last words and Ayumi's opinion, is the one to find the solution of the riddle leading to the exit of the cavern.

=== Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys (Manga: [[Volume 27#Bear Hunters Case|273]]-[[Volume 28#Bear Hunters Case|275]], Anime: [[Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys|212-213]]) ===
* Searching for Genta, Mitsuhiko and Haibara find the body of a dead hunter, and start being tracked by his murderer, who fears they might have seen him. When Haibara sprains her ankle, he makes her a bandage, using a method that Conan had taught him; he then carries her to a safer place. With Haibara's help, he leaves a code to signal his position to the other Detective Boys.
* This is the case where Mitsuhiko develops romantic feelings for Haibara.

=== Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest (Manga: [[Volume 35#Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===
The Detective Boys realize that Mitsuhiko has been missing from his home for specific periods of time, and follow his trail to a forest in Gunma. Mitsuhiko, having heard Haibara and Ayumi expressing their admiration for the beauty of fireflies, wanted to please them by bringing them some. However, having caught a firefly, he realizes that he can't answer Conan's call on his badge without releasing it. He is eventually caught by the escaped serial killer [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] who was also hiding in the forest. Since Numabuchi loves fireflies too, he does not hurt Mitsuhiko, and even carries him back to his friends. This case is a good example of Mitsuhiko's dedication for Ayumi and Haibara.

=== Class 1-B's Great Operation (Manga: [[Volume 53#Kobayashi-sensei's Mystery|548-549]], Anime: [[Class 1-B's Great Operation!|460]]) ===

=== Mountain Witch's Cutlery (Manga: [[Volume 56#Onibaba Legend Murder Case|579-581]], Anime: [[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|481-482]]) ===
During the night, Mitsuhiko catches sight of the owner of the house sharpening a cleaver with a fiendish face; a vision which leaves him terrified. It later becomes an essential element of incrimination against the owner during the police investigation.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== [[Countdown to Heaven]] ===
Noticing that both Haibara and Ayumi seem to be interested in Conan, Mitsuhiko asks Ran to meet with her at a café the day after. While they eat, Mitsuhiko tells Ran that he likes both Haibara and Ayumi equally, and asks her if that makes him a bad person. When Haibara falls from the car in mid-air from Tower A to Tower B at the end of the movie, Mitsuhiko saves Haibara by taking her hand and tells her "I'll never let you go!"

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Ayumi Yoshida ===
[[File:EP418 8.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mitsuhiko imagines Ayumi as his wife.]]
As the cheerful and innocent girl she is, [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] has attracted the romantic interests of her teammates Mitsuhiko and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], but she is blissfully unaware of that. Her crush on Conan and tendency to innocently flirt with him leads to feelings of annoyance or disappointment on Mitsuhiko's part. According to [[Movie 5]], Mitsuhiko seems to have liked Ayumi since kindergarten, and according to [[Magic File 2: Shinichi Kudo, The Case of the Mysterious Wall and the Black Lab|Magic File 2]], they have been friends since at least preschool.

=== Ai Haibara ===
[[Image:279haibaramitsuhiko.png|thumb|right|200px|Haibara listening in on Mitsuhiko's radio.]]
{{main|Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
After [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] joins the Detective Boys and replaced him as the second-in-command, Mitsuhiko develops a crush on her due to her intelligence and competence. To date, Ai hasn't shown any romantic feelings for him and uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also admires his intelligence and courage during missions. In some episodes, she even shows more confidence in Mitsuhiko than in Ayumi or Genta when the going gets tough. In some episodes, he notices that Ai and Conan interactions are more mature adults while she talks to Mitsuhiko and other Detective Boys like kids.

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Mitsuhiko's relationship with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is a bit of a two-faced matter. While he generally admires Conan for his intelligence, courage and expertise, he tends to become very jealous of him whenever Ayumi has set her romantic intentions on Conan. He also suffers from being less shrewd and dexterous than him in front of Haibara.<ref>[[Volume 28|Manga Volume 28, Case 274: The Shrunken Target]], page 11</ref>

=== Genta Kojima ===
Mitsuhiko and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] are generally on very good terms with each other, and are mutually jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi decides to give him romantic attention. However, the two do not feel rivalry with each other, likely because Ayumi sees them both as friends.<ref>Anime episode 418: ''[[Home of Beika's Grenier]]''</ref>

== 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. Mitsuhiko placed 26th in the poll with 8 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>

== Name origin ==
Mitsuhiko's name comes from novelist [[wikipedia:ja:内田康夫|Yasuo Uchida]]'s reporter character {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:ja:浅見光彦|Mitsuhiko Asami]]|浅見光彦|Asami Mitsuhiko}}. His name in the funimation dub is named after the main protagonist of a popular TV show named [[Wikipedia: Prime Suspect 1973|Prime Suspect: Tennison]] and its sequel named [[Wikipedia: Prime Suspect|Prime Suspect]]. The protagonist is Jane Tennison, one of the first female Inspector in London who gets promoted to the rank of Superintendent and who confronts the sexism in law enforcement.

== Quotes ==

== Trivia ==
* It is stated in [[Conan Disappeared on the Cliff]] that Mitsuhiko's favorite meal is pudding. However, this episode is [[Canon#Non-canon|an anime original]], and hence not canon.
* Between episodes [[Episode 425|425]]~[[Episode 436|436]] Mitsuhiko's voice actor [[Ikue Otani]] went on maternity leave and was replaced by [[Ai Orikasa]].<ref>http://forums.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=2074.msg45241#msg45241</ref>
* Mitsuhiko's family name “Tsuburaya” (円谷) means “round valley”. “Mitsuhiko” (光彦) is written with the characters for “light” and “lad, boy”.
* Mitsuhiko's parents have been very rarely mentioned. A [[The Whistling Bookstore|filler episode]] indicates that his father likes photography, but this information has not been canonized as of yet.
* [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]] mentions that both of his parents are school teachers, and really strict about speaking politely.

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

== Background ==
[[File:Ayumi clear background.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi]]
Ayumi Yoshida is a student in [[Teitan Elementary School]] when [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] joins her class as [[Conan Edogawa]]. Ayumi befriends Conan and convinces him to join her, [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] in investigating an apparently haunted mansion. As it turns out, the haunting is a cover-up for an old homicide case, and due to Conan, the mystery is solved and the culprits are arrested.

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

== Appearance ==
Ayumi has short hair, having some hair points sticking out on the side of her face and a hair band on the head usually pink. Furthermore, she has blue eyes and brown hair. She is considered very cute and often wears dresses.

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

When on a case, Ayumi often makes simple observations that help lead to progress and resolution. For instance, she unlocked one of the codes from the Momotaro container the [[Detective Boys]] found in Kurashiki by deducing that it was most likely referring to one of the statues at the Oohara Art Museum: they had to walk 25 steps from the statue towards the direction it was facing.<ref name="ep377">[[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour|Episode 377-378: Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour]]</ref> She has an eye for noticing strange details in people's appearance, like she noticed that Taiko Mejin was shaved while dressed casually, while he normally made it grow when he is not wearing a kimono.

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

{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ayumi Yoshida}}
Ayumi was the first one, to try and befriend Conan, shortly after he became a grade schooler.

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

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

==== Ai Haibara ====
[[Image:OVA11 4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Ayumi and Ai.]]
Ayumi is the first to approach and try to befriend their new classmate, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], by offering to walk her home and then inviting her along on a Detective Boys investigation. At first Haibara remains distant, but later recognizes the value of friendship and allows Ayumi (and only her) to call her "Ai-chan". In turn, Haibara considers Ayumi like a little sister and gets along with her much better than with her other teammates.

==== Hideo Akagi ====
[[File: HideAyumi.png|thumb|right|200px|Ayumi and Hide]][[File:Ayumipassedout.png|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi's reaction after Hide thanked her]]
Ayumi is a proud fan of Hide and encourages him and is persistent in rooting for him since she almost cried after a Roupeiro told her she couldn't give Hide a water bottle. She almost passed out after Hide thanked her for her gift.

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

== Background ==
[[File:Ayumi clear background.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi]]
Ayumi Yoshida is a student in [[Teitan Elementary School]] when [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] joins her class as [[Conan Edogawa]]. Ayumi befriends Conan and convinces him to join her, [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] in investigating an apparently haunted mansion. As it turns out, the haunting is a cover-up for an old homicide case, and due to Conan, the mystery is solved and the culprits are arrested.

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

== Appearance ==
Ayumi has short hair, having some hair points sticking out on the side of her face and a hair band on the head usually pink. Furthermore, she has blue eyes and brown hair. She is considered very cute and often wears dresses.

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

When on a case, Ayumi often makes simple observations that help lead to progress and resolution. For instance, she unlocked one of the codes from the Momotaro container the [[Detective Boys]] found in Kurashiki by deducing that it was most likely referring to one of the statues at the Oohara Art Museum: they had to walk 25 steps from the statue towards the direction it was facing.<ref name="ep377">[[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour|Episode 377-378: Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour]]</ref> She has an eye for noticing strange details in people's appearance, like she noticed that Taiko Mejin was shaved while dressed casually, while he normally made it grow when he is not wearing a kimono.

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

{{nihongo|'''Eri Kisaki'''|妃英理|Kisaki Eri}}, known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the English Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Her real name is '''{{nihongo|Eri Mouri|毛利英理|Mōri Eri}}'''. She began to use her maiden name again after she began living separately from her husband [[Kogoro Mouri]]. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. In a recent hospitalization, her name was displayed as "Eri Mouri" on the door. She has one daughter, [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Eri and her childhood friend, Yukiko Kudo.]]
The separately-living wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a defense lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.

Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref>

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

== Personality ==
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Eri's pet cat, Goro, whom she named after Kogoro.]]
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee/><ref name=LoveOf>[[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike/> Even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee/>

Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She is also tactical and has high moral ground, generally avoids accepting requests from people with clear criminal act<ref name=client>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> unless she believes that there is something behind the scene or the request is related to the case she and/or Kogoro are investigating in.

She has a cat, a [[Wikipedia: Russian Blue|Russian Blue]] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf/> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].

Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half-jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee/> In chapter 985, it's revealed Lawyers like Eri use Western-style comma (,).

Eri is shown to care for those she knows and loves, like in movie 4, she came and stayed with Kogoro, because Ran had amnesia. In episode 474, she worried about her cat goro so much that she cried. She said she doesn't care about Kogoro. But in reality, however, she still loves him and said if he wouldn't flirt, she would return. In an episode, she pretended to not hear him because she isn't ready.

== Appearance ==
Eri is a fairly tall and light-skinned woman. She has long and wavy brown hair reaching her lower-back with shorter bangs framing the sides of her face, most of which she usually keeps done up in a bun. Slender yet very curvaceous in built, she is shown to be very beautiful and admired by most men, using her wedding ring despite the separation as a deterrent to would-be suiters (while secretly also because she still loves Korogo). She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Yukiko Kudo. She wears simple black glasses and is commonly seen wearing business suits.

==Abilities==
===Intelligence===
Eri is highly intelligent and skilled at solving cases, as in her first appearance she was able to find out the identity of the culprit and how culprit did it. In other cases she was able to find clues faster than Conan and give it to the officer in charge. With her sharp eye for details, she has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.<ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect />

===Martial arts===
Eri has advanced skilled at judo, being taught by her Kogoro. Her normal technique is ippon seoi-nage (one-arm shoulder throw) which she uses when facing criminals. She is shown to be fast and precise in her performance, able to quickly react to assailants much bigger than her and just as easily counter their attacks.

===Other skills===
She is considered to be a skilled lawyer, while Ran considers her best. In movie 2, she was said to be horrible at cooking and Gosho Aoyama said in super digest book that her bad cooking is also part of canon. She is revealed to be a talented knitter, having made several sweaters for her family.

==== Eri's father ====
[[File:Eris father.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Eri speaking to Eri's father.]]
Eri's father has only been mentioned once, but it's noted that he cares a lot for his daughter and is very overprotective.
{{clear}}

==== [[Kogoro Mouri]] ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:Kogoro and Eri.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Eri.]]
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both, wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref>

[[File:Eri Kisaki hair down.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Eri with her hair down while getting a hair cut.]]

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

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

==== [[Ran Mouri]] ====
Despite having a rocky relationship with Kogoro, Eri continues to have a very loving and nurturing relationship with their only daughter. Ran has been trying to get her parents back together ever since they started living separately when she was 6 years old<ref name=The Two Mysteries>Manga Volume 11: Files 107 (The Two Mysteries)</ref>. When they can find the time, Eri and Ran like to meet up so they can catch up on what's been happening in each other's lives and during those moments together Ran tries to convince her mother to come back home to live with them as a family again<ref name=Coffee Shop Case>Manga Volume 11: Files 105-107 (Coffee Shop Case)</ref>. Ran was determined to save Eri from her kidnappers in [[Lawyer Kisaki's SOS]].

==== [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]] ====
Shinichi/Conan and Eri share a somewhat equal level of intelligence when analysing crime scenes. Eri's deducing skills were more notable in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where she was able to submit a string and a piece of metal before Conan could bring it to Inspector Yamamura's attention. She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).

On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime since he hasn't met her for ten years.

==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri, a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote.

=== Rival ===
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====
Reiko Kujo is a prosecutor and rival of Eri Kisaki. They compete in several anime-only episodes called variations of "Courtroom Confrontation".

{{nihongo|'''Kazuha Toyama'''|遠山和葉|Tōyama Kazuha}}, also known as '''Kirsten Thomas''' in the [[Funimation]] dub and Katrina Tolliver in the video game ''[[Detective Conan: The Mirage of Remembrance|Case Closed: The Mirapolis Investigation]]'', is character in the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is a childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Heiji Hattori]].

Despite the names given for her in the English Dub of the anime and video game, the [[Viz Media]] manga retains her original Japanese name.

== Background ==
[[File:Cuffed.png|thumb|left|200px|Heiji and Kazuha cuffed together as children.]]
Kazuha and [[Heiji Hattori]] have been close friends since childhood. Their fathers work together at the Osaka Police station, where Kazuha's father, [[Ginshiro Toyama]] is a close friend and partner of Heiji's father, Police Chief [[Heizo Hattori]]. Her 43-year-old mother is mentioned in episode 573, where she wanted Heiji to bring Kazuha her drink bottle.

At one time in their youth, Heiji had had the unfortunate idea of locking themselves together with a set of old handcuffs which had no key and could not be unlocked; as a result they had to involuntarily spend time together even on some rather intimate occasions (i.e., bathroom visits) before the cuffs could be removed. As a reminder of this 'closeness' and for good luck, Kazuha fashioned two identical lucky charms, each incorporating a chain link from the cuffs, which she and Heiji have been wearing ever since.<ref name="StabbedWallet">Manga Volume 19: File 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref> At some later point, Kazuha added a picture of Heiji into her own charm pouch.<ref>Manga Chapters 693-695: Kazuha's Charm Case</ref>

After Heiji met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and discovered his [[Shinichi Kudo|true identity]], he talked about him so frequently and enthusiastically to Kazuha that she became convinced that Heiji was in love with a Tokyo girl named 'Kudo'. When Heiji invited Conan, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] to Osaka, Kazuha spied on them, believing Ran to be 'Kudo.' At an okonomiyaki restaurant, when Heiji got up for a moment, Kazuha sat down in his seat and warned Ran to back off him, at which point Heiji returned, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Heiji laughed at Kazuha's behavior.<ref name="SerialKillerofNaniwa">Manga Volume 19: Chapters 5-8 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref> In their next meeting, Kazuha continued to treat Ran coldly, pointing out that Ran and Heiji's clothes had coincidentally matched the last few times they had been together. In response, Ran immediately changed clothes, after which point the girls became much friendlier.<ref name="Wedding Murder">Manga Volume 21: File 211 (Wedding Murder Case)</ref> As time passes, Kazuha and Ran grows into close friends, and Kazuha always sleeps in Ran's room whenever she stays in Tokyo.

== Personality ==
Kazuha has a hot temper and can be highly critical of people around her. She has been hinted to have a high level of intelligence, as she was able to deduce a dying message in an episode even more quickly than either Ran or Kogoro could (albeit with slight help from Heiji). Moreover, she is highly confrontational, and unafraid of letting others know about her dislike, even showing no hesitation or concern in confronting Heiji in a men's restroom. This trait leads to frequent shouting matches with Heiji, but it also allowed her and Ran to forge a strong friendship despite the fact that Kazuha, believing that Ran was Heiji's new girlfriend, took an initial deep dislike to Ran out of jealousy. Affection and approval are apparently much harder for her to express, most significantly with regard to Heiji; she is perfectly aware of her feelings for him and, after a few initial attempts to deny it to Ran, openly discusses her love for Heiji with her. However, even when a good opening appears to discuss her feelings with him, she instead panics and does her best to pretend that she and Heiji are 'only friends'. Although she has tried and failed to confess to Heiji twice already, Kazuha is determined to make her feelings clear to him one day.

She also has a marked belief in spirits, good-luck charms, and other superstitions. Right from her first experience, she displayed her belief in the importance of hers and Heiji's omamori, charms which Kazuha made to protect her and Heiji from harm. And indeed, during the case in which this is revealed, Heiji lent Conan his omamori, and the metal inside the charm stopped a knife blade that could have killed Conan.<ref name="SerialKillerofNaniwa"/> On subsequent cases, Kazuha is quick to attribute mysterious shadows and strange events to ghosts and other malignant spirits, which usually sends Ran into panic as well, though she herself does not possess a morbid fear of ghosts as much as Ran does.

In the anime original episodes 965-968, it was revealed she loves kaiju like Gomera and Kamen Yaiba.

She also like any normal girl characters screams at sight of a dead body.

== Appearance ==
Kazuha has dark brown hair which she always wears in a neck-length pony tail, and uses ribbons of different colors (usually matching that of her clothes) to secure her hair. She rarely lets her hair down, and when it is not tied up in a ponytail, it falls down to her mid-back/waist. She has green eyes and fair complexion, her skin tone being even lighter than Ran's. She has a fairly slim and curvaceous, athletic build just like Ran herself. It is shown that Kazuha is of around the same height as Ran and slightly shorter than Heiji. Kazuha's way of dressing ranges from shirt and jeans to (occasionally) dresses. Despite being tomboyish, she is known to be attractive. Multiple men have shown interest in her, though she is usually oblivious, and her innocence in turn annoys Heiji.

== Abilities ==
=== Martial arts ===
Kazuha is a 2-dan in aikido, showing great proficiency in various body-locks and throws. It is a skill she has exhibited multiple times to taking down several criminals, even when much larger than her.<ref name="SerialKillerofNaniwa"/> Her aikido skills also make Heiji afraid of her and her strength, likewise warning criminals to not attack her.

=== Intelligence and deduction ===
Kazuha seems to be rather intelligent, as shown in [[Which One's Deduction Show| Episode Which One's Deduction Show]] when [[Heiji]] gave a clue about the code which Kazuha understood while neither Ran or Kogoro could figure out. She also took up karuta and held her own against [[Momiji Ooka]], implying that Kazuha is quick-minded and has a good memory. In movie 21, Kazuha said she joined the karuta club. She played against Momiji who is very skilled. Despite losing, she was able to go until last match.

=== Cooking ===
Whenever Kazuha visits Ran, she often helps her with cooking or they'll occupy themselves by cooking, as seen in Heiji Hattori's Vampire Mansion episode where they made gyozas instead of chasing the killer because they were scared.

This, it turned out, was a ploy to distract the lawyer, but when it failed, Heiji, with a gun to his head, told Kazuha that "I meant it when I said my last words were for you" and promised, if they survived, to tell them to her "until you're sick of hearing it."

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Heiji Hattori ===
{{main|Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama}}
Heiji's relationship with Kazuha is a very close one; they were childhood friends, and have stayed close through the years. Their relationship is identified as a romantic one by other characters and fans alike, even though they claim that they don't have that sort of relationship or feelings for each other. However, it has been shown that he becomes visibly jealous when he sees Kazuha with other guys, becoming distracted throughout the whole case. At one point, after a certain case, while looking at Kazuha, his thoughts read: "Fool. You're too naive. I promise you, as long as you're with me, I'll never let anyone hurt you." Kazuha knows she has feelings for Heiji, as she shows this by being protective and chasing off other women that might have an interest in him. In on of the mangas, Kazuha attempts to confess her feelings after finding out that Shinichi had done so with Ran (in the [[Holmes' Revelation]] Arc), but is unlucky because on hearing that, Heiji ran off to tease Shinichi/Conan for it. She once even attempted to sacrifice herself to save Heiji during a case in which they accidentally both fell off a cliff (episodes named [[And Then There Were No Mermaids]]). When the branch they were both hanging on started breaking, she stabbed him in his hand with an arrow of love, to force him to let her fall; however, Heiji still held on, saying that he will not let go of her, and managed to pull both of them to safety. Heiji is clueless when it comes to love, but he has now realised he has feelings for Kazuha ever since the Ebisu Bridge incident. Consequently, he constantly tries to bring her to romantic spots so he can simultaneously confess to her and one-up Shinichi's confession to Ran. Thus far, he has not been successful since he's been interrupted each time by cases, and once, the Japanese self-defence [[Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend]].
Also, they have the same situation as Ran and Shinichi, being childhood friends that have romantic feelings for each other and have the same background as them. Heiji is a teenage detective and she is a police's daughter, like Ran is a police's daughter and Shinichi is a teenage detective. They are even called the 'Ran and Shinichi of Osaka' by fans of the series, since they're so similar. Although they are constantly fighting, they both are very close friends. It is also shown in the seventh movie, Crossroad in the Ancient Capital, that Kazuha is Heiji's first love, though he didn't know it was her at the time. In [[OVA 9]], Heiji and Kazuha have been shown to be a famous couple, who are close to marriage. However, all this was just a feverish hallucination of Conan's.

=== Ran Mouri ===
Despite having rather different temperaments and personalities, Kazuha and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have several things in common, including: proficiency in a martial art, father's connection to police work and detective work, and detective-obsessed childhood love interests. Kazuha was initially cold and rude to Ran, suspecting her of being interested in Heiji. However, thanks to Kazuha's frankness and Ran's accommodating nature, the girls quickly overcame this misunderstanding. In episode 141, Ran and Kazuha's friendship grows after Ran quickly changes shirts to prove to Kazuha that she didn't wear the striped pattern because Heiji did. In Episode 166 Ran and Kazuha become close friends, both even poking fun at each other for having crime loving boyfriends. They have since become close friends and seem to regard each other as confidantes, since they are in similar romantic situations: Ran and Shinichi cannot confess their feelings for each other, as Shinichi is, aside from telephone calls, physically absent from her life, and Kazuha and Heiji cannot confess their feelings for each other due to their own stubbornness and irascibility. While Conan/Shinichi and Heiji are on cases together, Ran and Kazuha almost always spend the time together. When Kazuha visits the Mouris' in Tokyo with Heiji, she is shown to share Ran's bed.

=== Shinichi Kudo ===
[[File:M7-Shinichi and Kazuha.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi and Kazuha.]]
Kazuha respects [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] as a great detective like Heiji. Sometimes she refers to Shinichi as a better detective than Heiji, much to Heiji's jealousy and annoyance.
When Heiji was tricked into attending a fake contest and went missing, Kazuha said that she would have been much better at ease if Kudo had been with him.

He is a childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Kazuha Toyama]]. Originally a detective rival to [[Shinichi Kudo]], Heiji has since [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|found out]] [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s true identity and the two often team up to work on cases. He was the first person to ''deduce'' Conan's true identity.

== Background ==
[[File:Cuffed.png|thumb|left|200px|Heiji and Kazuha cuffed together as children.]]
Heiji is a high school detective, and the son of [[Heizo Hattori]], chief of the Osaka Police Department, and his wife [[Shizuka Hattori]]. Heiji wants to be a detective like his father since spending his childhood looking for lost cats in his neighborhood, and he is also very skilled in kendo and has become a favored tournament contender for his school.

At one time during their childhood, Heiji had had the unfortunate idea of locking himself and his friend [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] together with a set of old handcuffs which had no key to unlock it; as a result they involuntarily had to spend time together even on some rather intimate occasions (i.e., bathroom visits) before the cuffs could be removed. As a reminder of this 'closeness' and for good luck, Kazuha fashioned two identical lucky charms, each incorporating a chain link from the cuffs, which she and Heiji have been wearing ever since.<ref name=StabbedWallet>Manga Volume 19: Files 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref>

In the news, Heiji has been publicly declared the "Great Detective of the West", while [[Shinichi Kudo]] is the "Great Detective of the East". As a result, Heiji showed up unannounced at the Mouri Detective Agency looking for Kudo, seeking to challenge his rival to a showdown of wits. (In fact, they had such a contest before, three years previously, [[Heiji Hattori vs. Shinichi Kudo: Deduction Battle on the Ski Slope|during a skiing trip in the Yamagata prefecture]], although they never learned about each other's identities at that time.<ref>Manga Chapters 518-522: Yuki-Onna Murder Case</ref>) Heiji was soundly defeated in the following case after [[Conan Edogawa]] temporarily turned back into Shinichi, but he gained a lot of respect for Shinichi in the process.<ref>Manga Chapters 092-096: The Great Detective Of The West</ref>

During their second encounter, Conan knocked Heiji out to use him as the mouthpiece for the voice-changing bow-tie. But during his final presentation of the facts, Heiji awoke prematurely and discovered Conan's secret, and in the end managed to blackmail Conan into revealing all.<ref>Manga Chapters 121: The Holmes Freak Case: The Revelation</ref> Ever since that revelation, Heiji has been helping Conan in hiding his secret identity, though he constantly slips up by calling him "Kudo" in front of [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Kazuha.

Heiji and Conan most often congenially team up to solve assorted cases. Heiji has also helped Conan investigate his arch-enemy, the [[Black Organization]], on several occasions, such as when the two investigated [[Jodie Starling]]<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=34|publisher=Viz Media chapter=Files 2-7|language=English}}</ref>, or when Heiji investigated [[Eisuke Hondou]] on his own and then told Conan his findings<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Meitantei Conan|volume=56|chapter=Files 7|language=Japanese}}</ref>, but he never had a real direct confrontation with the primary antagonist and often underestimated them. He has also helped cover for Conan during several of the brief instances where Conan regained his true adolescent age, and has even disguised himself as Shinichi on several occasions in order to protect his identity, even though he is not very good at it (mostly owing to his distinctive Kansai dialect). When not working on a case, he regularly attempts to invite Conan to take in the sights and culinary delights of Osaka, which he considers more wholesome than Tokyo's.

== Personality ==
Unlike Shinichi/Conan, more cold and determined, Heiji is very blunt during an investigation, which usually lands him in trouble. Even while solving a case, he tends to be lighthearted and good-humored, preferring to work through it with a grin on his face. He is a big fan of baseball, and is most of the time shown wearing an Osaka cap, to support the local Osaka baseball team. He usually wears his cap with its visor pointed backward, but if he feels challenged, he turns the visor forward.

Heiji is known for his pride as an Osaka citizen and for his thick Osakan accent, which has been pointed out and sometimes made fun numerous times. However, Heiji holds his head high and is always one to brag about the greatness of Osaka, especially when Conan comes to visit.

Despite him knowing the value and necessity of remaining calm in the face of a crime, Heiji tends to be impulsive at times, which tends to cloud his judgment a little. This was discussed directly in the "Detective Koushien" case, when [[Saguru Hakuba]] accused Heiji of being a poor detective for disrupting a crime scene in his rush to see if the victim could still be saved. Heiji, however, solved the case in the end, and reminded Saguru that the detective's first job is to prevent death if he can. Heiji is also known to be extremely protective of those he values as close friends, and tries hard to keep them out of harm. There are several instances where Hattori tells Kazuha to wait for him or leaves her behind in order to keep her from being involved in cases, simply because he's afraid of her getting hurt.<ref>Manga Volume 59, File 6, pg 6: Armored Warrior</ref><ref>Manga Volume 59, File 7, pg 11: Art of War</ref><ref name=653p3>Manga Volume 63, File 1, page 3: My Deduction</ref>

Furthermore, he's pretty much always watching Shinichi's back, and does whatever he can to not only keep Shinichi safe, but to keep his identity under cover. However, on one occasion Heiji advised Conan to tell the truth, when Ran had convinced herself that Conan was Shinichi and thus willingly gave him blood after being shot.

Heiji occasionally enjoys teasing Shinichi's kid form. He has fun jokingly (sometimes mistakenly) calling Conan "Kudo" in front of Ran at his friend's expense. He often treats Conan/Shinichi as a younger brother and their close relationship even evokes Kazuha's jealousy from time to time. In return Conan truly trusts and respects Heiji.

Although he is very competitive when it comes to detective cases, when a case gets hot, he and Shinichi work effectively together. During Shinichi's first return to his high school during the play performance, Heiji had let him take the lead role in the investigations, saying that it was because they were in Tokyo, Shinichi's turf.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=26|publisher=Viz Media chapter=Files 1-7|language=English}}</ref>

Although he frequently mocks Kazuha for her superstitions and enthusiasm for good-luck charms, Heiji has several times revealed that he puts more trust in them than he would admit. He once dreamed of Shinichi being murdered, and out subsequently insisted that Conan wear his omamori, the good luck charm Kazuha gave him. The omamori ended up saving Shinichi's life by deflecting a knife blow, but Heiji, without his usual protection, was shot in the stomach.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Meitantei Conan|volume=19|chapter=Files 5-8|language=Japanese}}</ref> In another case, Ran hung a teruterubozu, a charm that's supposed to ensure good weather, in the window so that Conan would have good weather for his field trip the next day. Heiji, however, got up in the middle of the night to take down the teruterubozu so that Conan's field trip would be rained out and he could accompany Heiji on an investigation of the The Red Horse Among The Flames.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Meitantei Conan|volume=39|language=Japanese}}</ref>

During the "Bond of Fire" case, Heiji questions Conan if they were right in stopping the culprit from committing suicide, leading to the latter responding that if a detective knows a criminal is about to commit suicide and does nothing to stop it, then the detective is no better than a murderer. Heiji takes to this heart, as evidenced by him stopping the serial murderer in the "Stabbed Wallet" case from committing suicide.

His relationship with Shinichi/Conan from his end. In Heiji's first appearance, he traveled all the way to Tokyo to challenge Shinichi Kudo to a deduction battle so he could win and show he was the superior detective of the two. After Shinichi solves the case (which included correcting Heiji's wrong assumptions), the Tokyoite detective then gives a short speech to the Osakan that there's no such thing as the superior or inferior detective, only the truth; Heiji is left both speechless and amazed. Throughout his subsequent appearances (which involved deducing "Conan's" real identity), Heiji may have kept his competitiveness towards his fellow detective, but he now considers Shinichi/Conan to be his partner and best friend, willing to do anything to ensure his happiness and safety.

== Appearance ==
[[File:vlcsnap-2013-09-20-15h27m58s194.png|thumb|right|200px|Heiji talks about his skin color in movie 7.]]
Heiji is a handsome man with dark brown, spiky hair and dark brown skin which he claims is inherited from his 71-year-old paternal grandfather.<ref>Chapter 278</ref> His eyes are blue in the manga (like every character). Initially, his eyes appeared dark green, but are now blue<ref>Episode 710</ref>. He speaks with a strong Kansai Ben accent, which is typical of the Osaka region. Since Heiji is so strongly accustomed to this accent, his lingual habit can be a disadvantage at times, especially when he has to impersonate someone who uses standard Japanese.<ref>[[Volume 26# School Play Case|Manga Chapter 256: ''Concealed Truth'']]</ref><ref>OVA 06: ''[[Follow the Vanished Diamond! Conan & Heiji vs. Kid!]]''</ref> He has a scar behind the left ear from being hit during an Oyodo competition as said in episode 263.

He has also been shown to be popular with girls due to his good looks, position as kendo captain at his high school, and his fame as a high school detective. For example, in episode 263 when several girls tried to flirt with him but he had switched his gear with another team member to make a last minute call to Conan to visit his match. This was shown in Magic File 4: The Osaka Okonomiyaki Killer where several girls came to ask for an autograph and in [[OVA 9]], he was referred to as a lady killer.

== Skills ==
=== Keen Intellect ===
Heiji's detective skills are the same as Shinichi's. Because of his skills, Heiji has acquired his nickname "The Great Detective Of The West." Like Shinichi, he has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to ignore or not take into account and has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to recall every detail of an investigation, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Heiji's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony. However, unlike Shinichi, Heiji seem to be more competitive and hot-blooded while solving a case, which sometimes leads him into making a wrong deduction [[Diplomat Murder Case|i.e. the case in his first appearance.]] Like the other "genius" detectives, Heiji has shown himself to have an eidetic memory, capable of remembering complex letter and number sequences at only a glance, such as when he was able to solve a code in his head during the "Heiji and Kazuha in Grave Danger" arc, and even reproduce another message using the same code to text to Conan. When Heiji and Shinichi work together, they're each other's equal and will often arrive at the same conclusions. But when they compete with each other or their deductions differ, Shinichi usually wins. Recent cases have begun to subvert this, but usually only with subjects Heiji specializes in - e.g. kendo. He is also good if it comes to someone who has his own dialect, Kansai dialect.

=== Athletic ability ===
Heiji is the fifth position, or taisho, and captain of his high school Kendo team. Heiji may disable criminals using an improvised bokken similar to how Conan uses his soccer skills. Heiji is also very nimble, able to jump higher than a bookshelf, seamlessly scale the side of the staircase, and balance perfectly on a katana. This is shown in episode 263 of the anime, when Kotegawa tries to kill him.

=== Others ===
Heiji is also a capable motorcycle rider. He also speaks fluent English.<ref>[[English Teacher vs. Great Western Detective]]</ref> Heiji has shown to have the ability to deduce a woman's swimsuit without actually looking at it.<ref>[[Solitary Island of the Princess and the Dragon King's Palace]]</ref> He is also shown to have a "Kudou Radar" where he correctly guessed Conan's involvement in the case without actually seeing Conan.<ref>[[Furinkazan]]</ref>

== Plot overview ==
=== Great Detective of the West (Manga: [[Volume 10#Great Detective of the_West|92-96]], Anime: [[Diplomat Murder Case|48-49]]) ===
One day, Conan (using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changer Tie]] to imitate [[Shinichi Kudo|his old voice]]) calls [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to tell her once again that he is all right and that he is still stuck with the 'special case' when Ran hangs up on him as someone has just entered the detective agency. Coming home, Conan finds to his surprise that the 'customer' is a youth who keeps demanding to see Shinichi Kudo. He had read of Kogoro solving cases and jumps to the conclusion that he is getting help from Shinichi. When Ran mentions that Shinichi has just called, without asking about Ran's state, the youth deduces that Shinichi must actually be nearby, watching Ran from afar. He then introduces himself as high school detective Heiji Hattori and presents a gift, a bottle of [[baijiu]], of which he gives Conan a swig. Just then, Kimie Tsujimura, the wife of a known diplomat, enters [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s office to ask him to investigate the girlfriend of her son. In order to be inconspicuous, Kogoro takes Ran and Conan along, and Heiji, hoping to flush out Shinichi, tags along as well. What is originally meant to be a simple investigation job turns out to be a murder case, as they find Kimie's husband slain at his desk.

=== Holmes Freak Case (Manga: [[Volume 12#Holmes Freak Case|117-121]], Anime: [[Holmes Freak Murder Case|57-58]]) ===
After this first case, it only takes one more run-in with Conan to get Heiji thinking about the similarities between Conan and Shinichi. It is on the "[[Holmes Freak Murder Case]]" that Heiji, despite professing a preference for [[Wikipedia: Ellery Queen|Ellery Queen]], exercises the Holmesian axiom: "When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." In addition, after Conan had [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|knocked him out]] to use him as his mouthpiece to present his evidence, Heiji receives a clout on the head from [[Kogoro Mouri]], which wakes him up again, and from the corner of his eye he spies Conan standing behind him and using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] to mimic his voice; he thus discovers Conan's secret, which forces Conan to explain his situation.

=== Bond of Fire Case (Manga: [[Volume 15#Bond of Fire Case|150-153]], Anime: [[Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case|77-78]]) ===
On their third case together, Conan was initially irritated to see Heiji, but they quickly formed a strong team. Together they cornered the murderer and even took steps to preventing the suicide she had planned. When she realizes that she won't be able to kill herself she weeps piteously, causing Heiji to whisper to Conan, "perhaps we should have let her die." Conan replies that "a detective who corners a murderer with logic and then lets them commit suicide is no better than a murderer."

=== Mystery Writer Case (Manga: [[Volume 19#Mystery Writer Case|183]], Anime: [[The Mystery Writer Disappearance Case|117]]) ===
Heiji calls Conan having deciphered the text in the first new chapter, and with this information Conan manages to solve the rest of the hidden riddles.

=== Stabbed Wallet Case (Manga: [[Volume 19#Stabbed Wallet Case|185-188]], Anime: [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case|118]]) ===
Heiji invites Conan (and [[Kogoro Mouri]] and [[Ran Mouri]], because otherwise it'd look suspicious) to Osaka. It is revealed by [[Kazuha Toyama]] (in her first appearance) that Heiji has been talking about 'Kudo' so often that Kazuha thought 'Kudo' was his new Tokyo girlfriend. Heiji suggests that the reason he invited Conan to Osaka is because he has been worried about Conan's safety; he has had dreams of Conan being murdered. On a case together in Osaka, Heiji gives Conan his omamori, which ends up saving his life by deflecting a knife thrust. However, without it Heiji is injured while trying to prevent the murderer from committing suicide. In the ambulance, he reveals to Conan that he has taken to heart Conan's admonishment.

=== Wedding Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 21#Wedding Murder Case|211-214]], Anime: [[The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case|141-142]]) ===
Heiji and Kazuha visit Tokyo accompanied by Kogoro, Ran, and Conan. They run into Heiji's father's friend and are invited to their mansion. There a murder occurs and his father's friend is found dead in a locked room. It seems he was dragged to another room after being stabbed in the heart. Continuing the investigation, Heiji proclaims the butler was the murderer and he is taken away, screaming his innocence. Late that night, an unknown man takes the murder weapon and tries to place it in a bag, but is caught by Heiji and Conan who reveal that they placed the blame on the butler to lure out the true culprit. The culprit is revealed to be Kikuhito Morizono. He reveals that he murdered the man because he tried to cancel the wedding and take his love away from him.

=== Cruise Ship Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 23#Cruise Ship Murder Case|225-230]], Anime: [[The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case|174]]) ===
In this episode, Heiji meets up once again with Conan and the gang on an overnight cruise in Tokyo. Unfortunately, instead of being able to spend a relaxing day on board, a serial murder case is created, leaving Heiji and Conan to work together to solve it. After they gather much of the evidence of the murder cases, Heiji and Conan share their deductions with each other only to find that, once again, their deductions are different. Heiji tries to beat Conan to the truth and goes off on his own to investigate. When he happens to come across the final piece of evidence that disproves both his and Conan's deductions, he is attacked and thrown overboard into the ocean. Later, Conan realizes that he's missing and is extremely concerned.

During a romantic scene, a man in the audience falls dead, seemingly by potassium cyanide, as revealed by a young man in the audience who appears to be Shinichi Kudo. This is quickly debunked, as Kazuha recognizes Heiji in disguise, and the real Shinichi has shown up anyway. Heiji originally planned on disguising as Shinichi in order to clear Ran's suspicions that Conan and Shinichi were one and the same, and was unaware that Shinichi would take the antidote with Haibara present in disguise as Conan.

=== Old Photograph Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Old Photograph Murder Case|278]], Anime: [[The Client Full of Lies|221]]) ===

While investigating, three murders occur. Conan reveals to Heiji he knows who the murderer is and to meet him later, but later he and Kazuha fall off a cliff.

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan is on the phone talking to Heiji about the much publicised K3 Restaurant's opening party. Heiji's parents got invited but they both got colds and are unable to attend. Heiji decides to invite Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to come to the party. Three famous athletes from America are going to be there also. Once Heiji tells Conan who the three athletes are, Conan accepts the invitation. Suddenly, the news reporter named Ed McCay, who was invited to the K3 Restaurant, asks whether Japan isn't the home of many scandals, and mentions that K stands for "kitanai" meaning filth.

Heiji immediately destroys the theory of suicide by showing that the man who fell from his apartment attempted to grab onto a curtain to save his life. Conan and Heiji reveal the truth by showing how the room was switched around so that when the man was drunken he would expect to be stepping out onto the balcony, but instead would wind up falling. After they solve the case, Heiji asks Jodie who she is. In reply, Jodie asks Heiji the same question. When Conan and Heiji leave, they concur that Jodie is suspicious but innocuous.

Heiji, Kazuha and a man named Kasukawa are held hostage in an attic of someone's home. Meanwhile, Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are tired of waiting for the two and begin searching for them based on clues from the last phone call. They investigate Detective Kasukawa's home and discover evidence that Heiji had been there. Conan finds a memo which discloses Kenbashi City, Ito Residence. They investigate those with the surname Ito but are unable to find information about Heiji. Meanwhile, it is revealed Heiji is held hostage by Misari Ito, an attorney who is the head of a tax evasion group. Ito demands Heiji to solve a code made by Kasukawa which contains a seven-digit-code to a safe box containing evidence of her scandal. While held at gunpoint, Heiji sends a modified version of the code to Kogoro and asks him to solve it. Conan manages to solve the code, realizing that K, Q, and J stand for King, Queen, and Jack and replaces them with numbers accordingly. When Heiji receives the code back from Kogoro, he tells Misari he will tell her the seven digits and they head to the bank. Conan realizes the last three digits are actually letters and realizes what Heiji is trying to tell him and replies a modified code. Heiji tells Misari Ito he will tell her the seven digits and they head to the bank. Heiji reveals that the numbers, if placed in a 3 by 3 diagram, will create a diagram of a dice with the 1's representing the dots on a dice. Heiji reveals that the code he sent Kogoro had the letters LIB meaning Libra which is referring to the scales Libra and the attorney badge Ito has; He explains that the code "Kogoro" replied with means to "Lure One of them Out". At Ito's home, Conan knocks out the two kidnappers and frees Kazuha. The police arrive later and apprehends the criminals.

=== Red Horse Case (Manga: [[Volume 39#Red Horse Case|393-397]], Anime: [[The Red Horse within the Flames|325-327]]) ===
While Heiji and Kazuha were having dinner over at [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s place, Kogoro started to discuss about the serial cases that have been occurring in the area. At every crime scene, a horse would be found engulfed in flames, as the house where the crime occurred, gets burnt down. Humorously, all the cases that appeared to be linked to a serial killer, were not connected at all. It was all done to lessen the suspicion on the culprit's true intention of murder. During their conversation, Heiji invited Kogoro and Conan to assist him in a new case that he wished to solve. They keep a close watch on the house whose occupant had asked for their assistance, even after the one who requested them declined the service. They kept surveillance for a long time until Ran called and asked them to hurry back home for dinner. Just as they left, the house went up in flames, along with a red horse. The woman who had asked them for help was burnt to death. The case triggered the enthusiasm in the two young detectives (Conan and Heiji), and they uncovered the murderer through a joint investigation.

Through a phone call between Heiji and Conan (Shinichi), Heiji mentions that he had come across another young detective in the past who seemed more brilliant than him. A flashback then occurs to reveal what had happened before. It was on a middle school trip among many different schools when a crime happened. A famous actor was murdered, but was told to have committed suicide. Heiji and Shinichi both had set out to solve the case independently, only to know time and again that the other person was just ahead of them in figuring things out. The two detectives had unknowingly solved the same case and stumbled upon the same conclusion, without knowing who the other person is. At the end of the episode it is revealed that the totally awesome detective that Heiji is talking about, is none other than Shinichi.

Heiji, along with Ran, Kogoro and Kazuha, finds Shinichi with his memory completely erased, during a village trip. They are also surprised to find that almost everyone in the village seems to hate Shinichi, due to a supposedly 'stupid' and 'flawed' solution he gave about the deaths of the local leader and his wife, one year ago. A news reporter, who was present to cover the original case, accuses Shinichi of faking the memory loss and states that she knows the 'truth' about him. The next morning, the reporter is found stabbed, with no one but Shinichi in the house, and a knife with him, turning him into the one and only suspect.

Heiji takes it upon himself to both prove Shinichi's innocence and hide him from the police, helped by Ran, Kogoro and Kazuha. He skilfully proves that the culprit had undergone cosmetic surgery, to impersonate Shinichi and commit a crime to destroy his reputation. The real Shinichi, too, turns up (after mistakenly ingesting [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]]'s APTX 4869 antidote prototype) to justify his deductions about the year-old double deaths.

After the antidote's effects start wearing off, Heiji tries to prevent Shinichi from turning into Conan in front of Ran, by taking him to the toilet and asking him to hide in his (Heiji's) travel bag, so that he can make up some story about the disappearance and get him home.

While returning home in Kogoro's hired car, the group spot a dead man inside a speeding car, and are able to stop it. Heiji and Shinichi, after narrowing down the suspects, together apprehend the criminal with such finesse that even Detective [[Miwako Sato]] (who happened to be present there along with her colleague, [[Wataru Takagi]]) is left surprised. Heiji also lends Shinichi his cap to prevent him from being recognized easily, due to Shinichi's fears about the [[Black Organization]].

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Kazuha Toyama ===
{{main|Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama}}
Like Shinichi's relationship with Ran, Heiji's relationship with [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] is a very close one: they know each other since their childhoods, and have stayed close through the years. Their relationship is identified as a romantic one by other characters and fans alike, even though they claim that they don't have that sort of relationship or feelings for each other. Heiji is clueless when it comes to love and in the majority of the manga and anime has not yet realized he has actual feelings for Kazuha, until recently. On the class trip where Ran and Shinichi almost share a kiss, Heiji is explicitly jealous, all the while thinking of Kazuha, even saying “[he’s] running out of places to confess.” While it’s unknown when he plans on confessing, it is clear that Heiji loves Kazuha. It has been shown that he becomes visibly jealous when he sees Kazuha with other guys, becoming distracted throughout the whole case. At one point, after a certain case, while looking at Kazuha, his thoughts read: 'Fool. You're too naive. I promise you, as long as you're with me, I'll never let anyone hurt you.'. Kazuha knows she has feelings for Heiji, as she shows this by being protective and chasing off other women that might have a interest in him In on of the mangas Kazuha attempts to confess her feelings after finding out that Shinichi had done so with Ran, but is unlucky because by telling him, Heiji ran off to tease Conan(Shinichi) for it. She one time even attempted to sacrifice herself to save Heiji during a case in which accidentally both fell off a cliff. When the branch that Heiji was holding and both of them were hanging on to was breaking, she stabbed his hand with an arrow of love to prevent him from falling and force him to let her fall; however, he still held on despite the wound. Also, they have a similar situation to Ran and Shinichi, being childhood friends that have romantic feelings for each other and have similar backgrounds. Heiji is a teenage detective and she is a police detective's daughter, like Ran is a detective's daughter and Shinichi is a teenage detective. They are even called the 'Ran and Shinichi of Osaka' by fans of the series, since they're so similar. Although they are constantly fighting, they both are very close friends. It is also shown in the seventh movie, ''[[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]'', that Kazuha is Heiji's first love, though he didn't know it was her at the time. In the most recent case, Heiji confessed to Kazuha when she was taken away by some suspicious men, saying "What are you doing to my Kazuha?!". When Kazuha questioned him about it, he claimed that she was wrong and there was no evidence that proves his confession (although Shinichi recorded it). Nonetheless, it is shown in the file 912 that he has actually realized his feelings for her, as Ran questions him about the confession. He denies it to her, but thinks that he needed a more important place to confess, as Kudo confessed in front of the Big Ben.

=== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ===
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
His sharp intellect helped Heiji quickly figure out Conan's real identity as Shinichi. Heiji acts rather brotherly towards [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], even going so far as to pretend to be him on various occasions so that no one figures out that Shinichi and Conan are the same person. Of course, this might also be to make up for all the times Heiji calls him Kudo, which has nearly given Shinichi away multiple times. Heiji is concerned for Shinichi when he gets into trouble and life-or-death situations. They are as close as real brothers, both being detectives who have romantic feelings for their childhood friends. When they're caught solving a case together, it's not unusual for their minds to move in sync; because of this and several other factors, they maintain a sort of friendly rivalry with each other. However, they are both all business when a case gets serious. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend.<ref>English Teacher vs. Great Western Detective</ref> He also becomes extremely determined to one-up Shinichi's London confession to Ran by creating an even better setting to one day confess his love to his childhood friend, Kazuha.

Even with his teasing, Heiji genuinely wants Shinichi (Conan) and Ran to become a couple. He once suggested that Shinichi tell Ran the truth about the Black Organization to ease both of their suffering.

=== Ran Mouri ===
Heiji and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] are very good friends, bonding after Heiji's many trips to Tokyo because he "misses Conan". Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side.

Since Heiji knows that Ran is Shinichi's Girlfriend, he tends to tease Shinichi about her quite often and will give him advice on his romantic relationship with her. He is also sometimes protective of her for the sake of Shinichi, such as when [[Soshi Okita]] flirted with Ran and he told him to back off since she is "his friend's girl" referring to Shinichi.<ref>Episode 916</ref> Since it's practically identical with his relationship with Kazuha (Even though they aren't on the same level as Shinichi & Ran's romantic relationship).

Heiji almost views Ran as a sister, as he will tease her from time to time and he'll help explain things to her during cases along with Kazuha.

=== Heizo Hattori ===
Heiji wants to become a detective, and his [[Heizo Hattori|father]] is very supportive of this, helping him solve tough cases. However, his father prefers a "tough love" approach, though mostly for the sole purpose of using Heiji to lure out a suspect.<ref>Episode 263</ref>

=== Shizuka Hattori ===
[[Shizuka Hattori|Shizuka]] is Heiji's mother and he sometimes calls her an "old lady".

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] respects him a little as a detective, but due to Heiji being the better detective, he seems to get annoyed whenever Heiji is with him while solving cases.

=== Goro Otaki ===
[[Goro Otaki|Otaki]] and Heiji are very good friends.

=== Juzo Megure ===
Usually [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] gets a little annoyed whenever Heiji runs into a case he is handling. He often tells Kogoro to not to lose to an outsider like Heiji. Despite this, Megure respects Heiji as a very skilled detective, and he has even declared Heiji as a better detective than Shinichi.

=== Momiji Ooka ===
[[Momiji Ooka|Momiji]] is close to her "future husband" Heiji. According to the 21st movie (which has yet to be contradicted by the manga / anime), they met as children and played karuta together. Heiji made a "pinky promise" with her about playing more later, which Momiji mistook as a marriage proposal. Unbeknownst to Heiji, Momiji held on the promise for several years, firmly believing that they are destined to be together.
However, despite Momiji's feelings for Heiji, he does not reciprocate them most likely because of his feelings for Kazuha.

== Background ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Young Kogoro in school.]]
Kogoro is a private investigator,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> but he prefers to laze around his office all day unless his client is a beautiful woman. Kogoro attended Teitan High School, the same high school as his daughter [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], along with [[Eri Kisaki]] (his future wife), [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], and through kindergarten to middle school attended the same schools as the actress Ruri Ujo and Eri.<ref>[[Volume 37]]</ref> He then graduated from Beika University, where he was the ace of the judo team, though he was highly vulnerable to stage fright.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 086 - The Two Benkei Standing Deaths|Volume 9, File 86: "The Two Benkei Standing Deaths"]]</ref>

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

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was forced to adopt the identity of [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]] concluded that Shinichi couldn't openly continue investigating the [[Black Organization]] without attracting undue attention. To maintain his cover, Agasa suggested Shinichi move in with Kogoro and use him as a front. During a case Kogoro took soon after, he reached the wrong conclusion, and Conan knocked him out with an ashtray before he could accuse an innocent person. Kogoro conveniently falls unconscious in a reclining pose, and Conan uses his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice Changer]] to imitate Kogoro's voice, presenting his conclusions and the identity of the true murderer.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9: An Unfortunate Misunderstanding]]</ref> After a few more cases occur in this fashion (though Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] instead of an ashtray), Kogoro receives the title "Sleeping Kogoro" and a public reputation as a master detective.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref>. In the few instances where Kogoro remains awake for some reason, Conan still does the main detective work and uses Kogoro as his official mouthpiece by drawing Kogoro's attention to important clues he has uncovered.

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

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

Kogoro has several medical issues common amongst middle aged men: high uric acid and high cholesterol.<ref>File 975</ref>

== Personality ==
[[File:Kogoro's personality.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro in the morning.]]
[[Image:Kogoro and Yoko Okino.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro showboating in front of [[Yoko Okino]].]]
[[File:701 5.png|thumb|200px|Kogoro as "Poirot" Mouri|link=The Jet-Black Mystery Train]]
Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his clients. In cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor change and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does. <ref>[[Volume 37#File 376 - Kogoro's Choice 3|Volume 37, File 376: Kogoro's Choice 3]]</ref>

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

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

However he does, once in a while, show interest in things, he claims not to like, like asking what happened to three cats, that the Detective Boys found while searching for a missing girl, and pointing out that it was cruel for a victim to point at Genta and call him a criminal, despite that Genta, didn't do anything. Kogoro suffers from mild acrophobia (fear of heights) and is quite uncomfortable in high settings where he has the chance to see how high up he is,(though, it is more like this is only part of anime, not manga, in 40 volume interview Gosho said he doesn't know about it, he also in the manga doesn't have this problem),(for more detail see trivia, below).

Although he can drive, and even after he became famous, he simply uses rental cars anytime that he requires a vehicle, even though he is a Detective and father to a teenager. Not counting, when they took in Conan.

Ran and Conan seem to show more mobility, even though Ran does not drive, whereas Conan does go around town and [[Turbo Engine Skateboard|skateboard]] a lot and esp. in movies.

Kogoro loves money very much, as long as he is paid 1 million yen or more than that he does what the person wants him to do, but not every work. As stated in an anime original episode, he doesn't "sells himself to the devil".

Despite his arrogant personality, Kogoro has a strong sense of justice and care for human life like when one of his friends murdered another friend he told Kogoro "You don't understand anything", which Kogoro replied as "Yes, I don't, no matter what, I can't understand the reason for killing someone and I don't want to understand". He also stopped criminals from committing suicide or murdering someone.

He also has respect for his former superiours like for Megure whom he calls Inspector Megure-dono or Inspector-dono which puts respect. Also, Kogoro uses "Watashi" for saying I when talking to Megure instead of "ore", which "Watashi" puts respect and is formal while "ore" is informal and disrespectful. Another one is for Inspector Yuminaga, despite calling him fiery old fossil when a case was solved he saluted toward him for respect. He also puts respect toward Goro Otaki, head inspector of Osaka police, and toward high ranking officers at police for example for his former chief Kiyonaga Matsumoto, Superintendent General Hakuba or Director General of Osaka Heizo Hattori addressing all of them with dono.

He also doesn't like people who call him 'small mustache'.

In an anime original of episode 67, it was explained he inherited his shamelessness and flirtatious traits from his master Shiota Heihachiro which was a legendary great detective.

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

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

Thanks to Conan's undercover help in solving numerous cases, Kogoro's reputation as a detective grows quickly.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref> He hardly remembers the solutions of any cases because Conan knocks him out with tranquillizer darts before solving the case. However, Kogoro never seems to wonder about this fact and often boasts about his merits. Because of this, he has become nicknamed the '''{{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}}'''. [[Jugo Yokomizo]] often mistakenly calls him '''{{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|Kemuri no Kogorou}}''' because of his heavy smoking habits. Because of his (or rather, Conan's) tendency to coincidentally come across a crime scene, Inspector Megure has referred to Kogoro as a '''shinigami''' (death god).

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

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

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

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

== Plot overview ==
=== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|2-5]], Anime: [[Episode 2|2]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro takes the credit.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro happily takes the credits for "solving" the case.]]
This is Kogoro Mouri’s first depicted case in the series,<ref>Even though this is the first case of Kogoro in [[Detective Conan]], it is not his first case ever, since he has been a private detective since before the current timeline started.</ref> after [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|the event]] where [[Shinichi]] was turned into a child by the [[Black Organization]]. He is requested by phone to find Akiko Tani, who is suspected to have been kidnapped by “a large man dressed in black”. Kogoro then immediately calls a taxi to go to the Tani mansion in Yayoi, without knowing that [[Ran|his daughter]] and [[Conan|a strange kid]] has already jumped in with him. He expresses his excitement about the case, calling himself “Great Detective”, but only to be sarcastically addressed as “Confused Detective” by the two instead.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 2, Page 28]]; the two characters 名 (renowned) and 迷 (confused) have the same pronunciation (mei) and can be used as a pun.</ref> Kogoro becomes furious and questions Ran about the identity of the strange kid, then intends to get rid of them from the car. He is unable to do so, however, as they are on a highway.

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

=== Bloody Idol Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|6-9]], Anime: [[Episode 3|3]]) ===
[[File:KogoroRose.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro holding a rose, trying to act "charming" in front of Yoko.]]
This case marks the very first appearance of '''“Sleeping Kogoro”'''. [[Conan]] wakes up in the morning and finds a slothful Kogoro drinking beer and watching television shows, including the musical performance of his idol star, [[Yoko Okino]]. [[Agasa]] advises Conan to build Kogoro into a great detective, to find cases related to the [[Black Organization]], but Conan doubts if that is even possible given Kogoro's laziness.

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

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

=== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|10-12]], Anime: [[Episode 38|38]])===
[[File:Kogoro suspects Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro is suspicious about Conan's identity.]]
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]]'s identity for the first time in this case. When talking to the boy, Kogoro suddenly feels like he has seen Conan from somewhere before. He thinks that it might have been around the time when Ran was still in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 010]]</ref> Later, when Kogoro is investigating the death of a man whom he has been hired to observe for three days, Conan provides a hint by pointing out that every picture of the suspect taken during the supposed time of the murder has clocks in them, which helps Kogoro figure out that they must have intentionally been taken that way to make people see the "alibi". Kogoro immediately finds it strange that whenever it seems like he has been stuck, Conan always gives him some kind of clue, just like in the previous cases. He, for the first time, notices that Conan is not an ordinary child and begins to wonder who the boy is. However, after Conan purposefully messes up with other photos, Kogoro completely loses his suspicions, thinking: "A brat is a brat after all..."<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 12]]</ref>

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

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

[[File:Volume 4 File 032.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro's first fame.]]
[[Ran]] forces Kogoro and Conan to go to a medieval-themed art museum exhibit because she heard a rumor about a knight armor that moves by itself at night. The three of them browse the museum, though Kogoro and Conan lack enthusiasm. However, when they walk into a gallery called the "Room of Hell", Ran discovers the corpse of the museum's new owner, Manaka, been brutally slashed and impaled on a sword. After the police arrive, Kogoro watches the security camera recording of the murder with them, showing that the culprit had been waiting for Manaka inside the exhibition room inside a knight's suit of armor. The armor both hid the murderer's identity and mirrored a painting in the gallery called "Divine Punishment" that depicts a knight having gruesomely killed a monster. Kogoro recalls the fact that the entrance to the "Room of Hell" was blocked during the time of the murder, indicating that the culprit must have been among the museum staff, as they know the museum and could access the equipment. With Conan's help, the police discover a dying message inside Manaka's hand. The crumpled note has the name "Kubota" written on it.

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

=== Kogoro's Class Reunion (Manga: [[Volume 9|84-86]], Anime: [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|27-28]]) ===
[[File:Angry Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro is furious because the murderer is one of his friends.]]
Kogoro brings [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are [[Jun Omura]], model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 3]]</ref> Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 11]]</ref>

[[File:Kogoro KOs Kazushi.png|left|thumb|200px|Kogoro knocks out Kazushi with Judo.]]
Much later in the evening, when everyone gets back to the inn from the fireworks location (even though most of them got lost, they find out that Yumi is still sleeping, and decide to wake her up. Much to their surprise, the moment they walk into Yumi's room, she has already been shot. Kogoro, together with Kazushi, take the role of investigating her death before the police arrive. Using professional techniques, they conclude that Yumi has been dead since 7 hours ago when they all went to the ping-pong room. Just, as usual, Kogoro becomes furious at Conan's interference, despite the boy's hints, and claims that she has committed suicide. However, right after Conan intentionally asks him how Yumi was shot, he rushes to her body and finds out that there are no burn marks around the wound, which wouldn't make sense if it was a suicide. Kogoro then concludes that his friend was murdered.

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

[[File:Cheerful Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro has got his "spirit" back.]]
Seeing Kogoro's determination, despite having found out the truth behind the murder, Conan decides not to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] this time and chooses to give Kogoro clues so he can solve the case by himself. With Conan's help, Kogoro is able to figure out that the culprit is Kazushi Nakamichi. Yumi was killed after playing ping-pong with Kazushi after 6 PM, that way, her muscle would harden much faster than usual. Another evidence was when Kazushi knew for sure that she had been dead the moment they discovered her corpse. When Kazushi confesses and says that she was a demon who was destroying his life, Kogoro sarcastically asks him who the real demon is. Kazushi angrily grabs his yukata, only to be thrown by Kogoro, who thinks that he doesn't want to understand the feeling of a killer.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 16]]</ref> It is then revealed that Kogoro is the "strongest person" whom Kazushi was talking about earlier. He compliments Kogoro, saying he is still as strong as ever. However, Kogoro answers that Kazushi is the one who got weaker in both strength and mind.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 17]]</ref>

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


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

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

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



=== Scuba Diving Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|163-165]], Anime: [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|114-115]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro Eri beach.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro encounters Eri at Izu.]]
Kogoro, [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] vacation at a beach in Izu. When Ran asks her father to look at her new swimsuit, he tells her to keep quiet because it will be harder for him to flirt with women once they know that he's together with her. Suddenly, Kogoro notices a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing right next to them and excitedly asks if she needs any sun cream. To his surprise, when the woman turns around, he finds out that it is none other than [[Eri Kisaki|his wife]]. Kogoro and Eri soon realize that the coincidental encounter was set up by Ran in an attempt to get them back together. They react poorly to being manipulated and mock each other until Kogoro leaves to use the toilet. Ran starts to worry after Kogoro is gone for some time, but Eri predicts that Kogoro stopped flirting with other women. When Kogoro comes back, he is indeed shown with two young girls, Kiwako Toda and Harumi Matsuzaki. The situation worsens when Eri notices traces of sand on Kogoro's legs, and assumes he must have been kneeling while applying sun scream to those girls at the beach, then brought them back to show off to her. However, Conan suspects that Kogoro went searching for Eri's lost wedding ring until Kogoro’s goofiness makes Conan dismiss the idea.

[[File:Kogoro Eri giving cards.jpg|thumb|200px|The relationship between the two is still very tense despite Ran's efforts.]]
Later, with the invitation from the university students, the Mouri family have lunch together at a seaside restaurant. When Ran once again attempts to alleviate the tense relationship between Kogoro and Eri by commenting that Kiwako Toda and her boyfriend Masahiko Matsuzaki are childhood friends like they were, Kogoro sarcastically tells them that many couples have suffered in marriage for loving a friend they’ve known since childhood. He and Eri even give the young couple their business cards and recommend the two to seek them in case “he suspects that his wife is cheating” or because “they plan to divorce and she wants to get a lot of alimony from her husband”.

[[File:Kogoro returns ring.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro returns the ring back to Eri.]]
After Kiwako Toda goes diving with Ran and gets bitten by a sea snake, Ran is asked to identify it. Kogoro compliments his daughter for having a good sense of observation, but Eri takes advantage of the topic and comments that she is completely different from “a certain someone who still hasn’t even noticed that his wife’s finger is empty”. However, Kogoro acts as if he doesn’t understand Eri’s hint. Later, as Kogoro is about to drive Kiwako’s friends to the hospital, Eri decides to drop Ran and Conan off there and then goes home right away. However, Kogoro informs her with a serious expression that he has something to tell her after the case is resolved. At the hospital, when Eri is about to leave after seeing Kogoro to some girls, Conan asks a nurse to call Eri and Harumi Matsuzaki and tells them to go to an office to see Kogoro. He then immediately lures Kogoro into becoming "Sleeping Kogoro" and reveals that the culprit is none other than Harumi. Conan also adds that Eri didn't purposely remove the wedding ring to attract Kogoro’s attention. After the case is solved, it is revealed that Kogoro did indeed go search for the wedding ring, which explains the sand traces on his legs, as he knelt on the sand to do so. Kogoro takes the ring out of his pocket and throws it to Eri. He says that he figured it out because Eri was drying her hair with her glasses on; normally no one would do that unless they’re trying to find something on the ground. He also assumes that Eri intentionally dropped her ring and tried to make him see that by using her left hand to hold the cup and continuously waving it around. Just as their relationship looks to be improved by this act, Kogoro completely ruins the moment by showing off with the female nurses, which enrages Eri and she leaves right after.

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

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

[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A healed relationship?]]
Later, Kogoro accompanies the lawyers back to the hotel, where he, while unconscious, is instead brought to Usui's room as one of her tactics to ruin Eri's career by having "the queen" suspect that her husband has been cheating on her. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Usui is strangled by an unknown culprit with Kogoro being the only one found sleeping inside the locked crime scene. He is then suspected to have committed the murder.

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

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

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

After the case is closed, Kogoro steps up to give Eri the present. It turns out that Kogoro had remembered Eri's birthday as Sports Day (taiiku no hi) and the recent date change of Sports Day had made his birthday present one day late.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Shooting ===
In the Wild Police Story spinoff, chapter 2, [[Hachizo Onizuka]] says to [[Rei Furuya]] that there is a genius senior who got full points in his first shooting test and hit the bulls-eye with all 20 bullets, states that he quits the force and was running a detective agency in Beika after, with Kogoro appears briefly.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:EP400 2.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro and Eri]]

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

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File: EP526 6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Ran.]]
Kogoro has raised his daughter Ran ever since he and Eri separated. She often has to look after her father because of his drinking and gambling habits. She is very determined to get her parents back together and tries every chance she gets to make them reconcile, though her attempts usually fail. Kogoro is very protective of Ran and deeply cares for her. There are many times when Kogoro shows concern for his daughter's safety, often getting serious when Ran is in trouble. He is also concerned about Ran's relationship with Shinichi, who he thinks always tries to seduce Ran (movie 'Captured In Her Eyes') and Episode 919, and can get agitated whenever his daughter's honour is threatened. This is evident from Kogoro's angry outburst at Ran's sleepy mumblings about the somewhat offensive words Shinichi had said to her aboard the flight to New York, in the episode 'The Locked Room In The Sky: Shinichi's First Case'. In chapter 924 when a group of three adults tried to kidnap 4-year-old Ran in kindergarten, and Kogoro had a very furious look on his face when he was about to arrest one of them. In episode 189 he gave her his coat to keep her warm when she slept at Conan side in his hospital room after giving him a blood fusion and told Conan that Ran gave Conan a lot of blood and if Conan doesn’t get better soon he will never forgive him. Kogoro doesn't actively try to wane Ran's love for Shinichi, but he has often advised her to give up on him.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP415 3.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan beaten by Kogoro for interfering in crime scene.]]

Kogoro took in Conan after he had 'solved' the case in episode 2, saying that Conan was his 'luck' and allowing Conan to live with them, but he mostly leaves it to Ran to take care of the boy. However, on multiple occasions, he has treated Conan nonchalantly, terming him a 'freeloader'. He has been suspicious of Conan's behavior at times but quickly drops his suspicions as ridiculous. Ever since Yukiko (disguised as Conan's nonexistent mother) gave Kogoro a large sum of money for Conan's expenses, he has been more than happy to take care of Conan. While Kogoro often shows a level of disregard towards his ward and has a habit of hitting Conan for disturbing him during investigations, there are rare moments where it is apparent he has become quite protective of Conan as well and considers him a normal part of the family.

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

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

==== Rei Furuya ====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rei wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]][[Rei Furuya]] (under the alias Tooru Amuro) became Kogoro's apprentice in the [[Wedding Eve]] case in exchange for a large fee every time Kogoro brought him on a case. Rei tends to act ingratiatingly whenever Kogoro Mouri is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Rei's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Rei flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the [[Black Organization]], Rei doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Rei is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Rei is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.
{{clear}}

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

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

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

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

== New Voice ==
Starting with [[The Interrogation Room|Episode 553]], Akira Kamiya's contract was not renewed. Kamiya posted in his blog that his contract pay negotiations were leaked to other company members; they reacted negatively, so he felt it was appropriate to leave.<ref>http://forums.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=2074.msg47102#msg47102</ref> Since Episode 553, Kogoro has been voiced by Rikiya Koyama.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Lupin 2-05 Kogoro.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro's flashy gold business cards]]
* In the movie continuity, Kogoro's practice of using ostentatious gold business cards carries over from [[Private Eye in the Distant Sea]] to [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]].
* Although Kogoro suffers from acrophobia, he sometimes seems to forget about his fear. For instance, he leans over the railing of a balcony on the 21st floor in episode 69 (Night Baron Murder Case). Furthermore, he feels perfectly comfortable onboard a plane in episode 162 (The locked Room in the Sky, Shinichi Kudo's First Case). In episode 596 (the Alibi of the Fall), he looks out of a window from the 6th floor, but then "remembers" his fear and recoils. The discontinuity is probably because Kogoro's fear was invented for [[Movie 2]] and did not originate in the manga where Kogoro is relatively fine around cliffs and tall buildings.
* Physician confirms that Kogoro would not survive Conan's stun-gun.<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-03-04/physician-confirms-that-detective-conan-kogoro-would-not-survive-conan-stun-gun/.143964 Anime New Network]</ref>
*In File 1047 and the Policewoman Serial Murder case, it’s revealed that he is involved with the neighbourhood association.
*It's revealed that in File 921 that Kogoro and his family use to live in an apartment before moving to the Mouri Detective Agency.
*According to Gosho in JUSTICE PLUS Super Digest Book, when Kogoro was Yuminaga-san’s subordinate Kogoro was scolded countless times because he trampled down an arson scene.
*According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book when he first ate Eri hi rad dish of beef stew he threw up
* According to Super Digest Book 100+ Kogoro ’s winning ticket in Wakita’s first appearance, was actually planted.

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

== Background ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Young Kogoro in school.]]
Kogoro is a private investigator,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> but he prefers to laze around his office all day unless his client is a beautiful woman. Kogoro attended Teitan High School, the same high school as his daughter [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], along with [[Eri Kisaki]] (his future wife), [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], and through kindergarten to middle school attended the same schools as the actress Ruri Ujo and Eri.<ref>[[Volume 37]]</ref> He then graduated from Beika University, where he was the ace of the judo team, though he was highly vulnerable to stage fright.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 086 - The Two Benkei Standing Deaths|Volume 9, File 86: "The Two Benkei Standing Deaths"]]</ref>

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

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was forced to adopt the identity of [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]] concluded that Shinichi couldn't openly continue investigating the [[Black Organization]] without attracting undue attention. To maintain his cover, Agasa suggested Shinichi move in with Kogoro and use him as a front. During a case Kogoro took soon after, he reached the wrong conclusion, and Conan knocked him out with an ashtray before he could accuse an innocent person. Kogoro conveniently falls unconscious in a reclining pose, and Conan uses his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice Changer]] to imitate Kogoro's voice, presenting his conclusions and the identity of the true murderer.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9: An Unfortunate Misunderstanding]]</ref> After a few more cases occur in this fashion (though Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] instead of an ashtray), Kogoro receives the title "Sleeping Kogoro" and a public reputation as a master detective.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref>. In the few instances where Kogoro remains awake for some reason, Conan still does the main detective work and uses Kogoro as his official mouthpiece by drawing Kogoro's attention to important clues he has uncovered.

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

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

Kogoro has several medical issues common amongst middle aged men: high uric acid and high cholesterol.<ref>File 975</ref>

== Personality ==
[[File:Kogoro's personality.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro in the morning.]]
[[Image:Kogoro and Yoko Okino.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro showboating in front of [[Yoko Okino]].]]
[[File:701 5.png|thumb|200px|Kogoro as "Poirot" Mouri|link=The Jet-Black Mystery Train]]
Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his clients. In cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor change and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does. <ref>[[Volume 37#File 376 - Kogoro's Choice 3|Volume 37, File 376: Kogoro's Choice 3]]</ref>

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

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

However he does, once in a while, show interest in things, he claims not to like, like asking what happened to three cats, that the Detective Boys found while searching for a missing girl, and pointing out that it was cruel for a victim to point at Genta and call him a criminal, despite that Genta, didn't do anything. Kogoro suffers from mild acrophobia (fear of heights) and is quite uncomfortable in high settings where he has the chance to see how high up he is,(though, it is more like this is only part of anime, not manga, in 40 volume interview Gosho said he doesn't know about it, he also in the manga doesn't have this problem),(for more detail see trivia, below).

Although he can drive, and even after he became famous, he simply uses rental cars anytime that he requires a vehicle, even though he is a Detective and father to a teenager. Not counting, when they took in Conan.

Ran and Conan seem to show more mobility, even though Ran does not drive, whereas Conan does go around town and [[Turbo Engine Skateboard|skateboard]] a lot and esp. in movies.

Kogoro loves money very much, as long as he is paid 1 million yen or more than that he does what the person wants him to do, but not every work. As stated in an anime original episode, he doesn't "sells himself to the devil".

Despite his arrogant personality, Kogoro has a strong sense of justice and care for human life like when one of his friends murdered another friend he told Kogoro "You don't understand anything", which Kogoro replied as "Yes, I don't, no matter what, I can't understand the reason for killing someone and I don't want to understand". He also stopped criminals from committing suicide or murdering someone.

He also has respect for his former superiours like for Megure whom he calls Inspector Megure-dono or Inspector-dono which puts respect. Also, Kogoro uses "Watashi" for saying I when talking to Megure instead of "ore", which "Watashi" puts respect and is formal while "ore" is informal and disrespectful. Another one is for Inspector Yuminaga, despite calling him fiery old fossil when a case was solved he saluted toward him for respect. He also puts respect toward Goro Otaki, head inspector of Osaka police, and toward high ranking officers at police for example for his former chief Kiyonaga Matsumoto, Superintendent General Hakuba or Director General of Osaka Heizo Hattori addressing all of them with dono.

He also doesn't like people who call him 'small mustache'.

In an anime original of episode 67, it was explained he inherited his shamelessness and flirtatious traits from his master Shiota Heihachiro which was a legendary great detective.

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

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

Thanks to Conan's undercover help in solving numerous cases, Kogoro's reputation as a detective grows quickly.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref> He hardly remembers the solutions of any cases because Conan knocks him out with tranquillizer darts before solving the case. However, Kogoro never seems to wonder about this fact and often boasts about his merits. Because of this, he has become nicknamed the '''{{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}}'''. [[Jugo Yokomizo]] often mistakenly calls him '''{{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|Kemuri no Kogorou}}''' because of his heavy smoking habits. Because of his (or rather, Conan's) tendency to coincidentally come across a crime scene, Inspector Megure has referred to Kogoro as a '''shinigami''' (death god).

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

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

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

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

== Plot overview ==
=== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|2-5]], Anime: [[Episode 2|2]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro takes the credit.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro happily takes the credits for "solving" the case.]]
This is Kogoro Mouri’s first depicted case in the series,<ref>Even though this is the first case of Kogoro in [[Detective Conan]], it is not his first case ever, since he has been a private detective since before the current timeline started.</ref> after [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|the event]] where [[Shinichi]] was turned into a child by the [[Black Organization]]. He is requested by phone to find Akiko Tani, who is suspected to have been kidnapped by “a large man dressed in black”. Kogoro then immediately calls a taxi to go to the Tani mansion in Yayoi, without knowing that [[Ran|his daughter]] and [[Conan|a strange kid]] has already jumped in with him. He expresses his excitement about the case, calling himself “Great Detective”, but only to be sarcastically addressed as “Confused Detective” by the two instead.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 2, Page 28]]; the two characters 名 (renowned) and 迷 (confused) have the same pronunciation (mei) and can be used as a pun.</ref> Kogoro becomes furious and questions Ran about the identity of the strange kid, then intends to get rid of them from the car. He is unable to do so, however, as they are on a highway.

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

=== Bloody Idol Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|6-9]], Anime: [[Episode 3|3]]) ===
[[File:KogoroRose.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro holding a rose, trying to act "charming" in front of Yoko.]]
This case marks the very first appearance of '''“Sleeping Kogoro”'''. [[Conan]] wakes up in the morning and finds a slothful Kogoro drinking beer and watching television shows, including the musical performance of his idol star, [[Yoko Okino]]. [[Agasa]] advises Conan to build Kogoro into a great detective, to find cases related to the [[Black Organization]], but Conan doubts if that is even possible given Kogoro's laziness.

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

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

=== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|10-12]], Anime: [[Episode 38|38]])===
[[File:Kogoro suspects Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro is suspicious about Conan's identity.]]
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]]'s identity for the first time in this case. When talking to the boy, Kogoro suddenly feels like he has seen Conan from somewhere before. He thinks that it might have been around the time when Ran was still in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 010]]</ref> Later, when Kogoro is investigating the death of a man whom he has been hired to observe for three days, Conan provides a hint by pointing out that every picture of the suspect taken during the supposed time of the murder has clocks in them, which helps Kogoro figure out that they must have intentionally been taken that way to make people see the "alibi". Kogoro immediately finds it strange that whenever it seems like he has been stuck, Conan always gives him some kind of clue, just like in the previous cases. He, for the first time, notices that Conan is not an ordinary child and begins to wonder who the boy is. However, after Conan purposefully messes up with other photos, Kogoro completely loses his suspicions, thinking: "A brat is a brat after all..."<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 12]]</ref>

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

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

[[File:Volume 4 File 032.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro's first fame.]]
[[Ran]] forces Kogoro and Conan to go to a medieval-themed art museum exhibit because she heard a rumor about a knight armor that moves by itself at night. The three of them browse the museum, though Kogoro and Conan lack enthusiasm. However, when they walk into a gallery called the "Room of Hell", Ran discovers the corpse of the museum's new owner, Manaka, been brutally slashed and impaled on a sword. After the police arrive, Kogoro watches the security camera recording of the murder with them, showing that the culprit had been waiting for Manaka inside the exhibition room inside a knight's suit of armor. The armor both hid the murderer's identity and mirrored a painting in the gallery called "Divine Punishment" that depicts a knight having gruesomely killed a monster. Kogoro recalls the fact that the entrance to the "Room of Hell" was blocked during the time of the murder, indicating that the culprit must have been among the museum staff, as they know the museum and could access the equipment. With Conan's help, the police discover a dying message inside Manaka's hand. The crumpled note has the name "Kubota" written on it.

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

=== Kogoro's Class Reunion (Manga: [[Volume 9|84-86]], Anime: [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|27-28]]) ===
[[File:Angry Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro is furious because the murderer is one of his friends.]]
Kogoro brings [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are [[Jun Omura]], model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 3]]</ref> Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 11]]</ref>

[[File:Kogoro KOs Kazushi.png|left|thumb|200px|Kogoro knocks out Kazushi with Judo.]]
Much later in the evening, when everyone gets back to the inn from the fireworks location (even though most of them got lost, they find out that Yumi is still sleeping, and decide to wake her up. Much to their surprise, the moment they walk into Yumi's room, she has already been shot. Kogoro, together with Kazushi, take the role of investigating her death before the police arrive. Using professional techniques, they conclude that Yumi has been dead since 7 hours ago when they all went to the ping-pong room. Just, as usual, Kogoro becomes furious at Conan's interference, despite the boy's hints, and claims that she has committed suicide. However, right after Conan intentionally asks him how Yumi was shot, he rushes to her body and finds out that there are no burn marks around the wound, which wouldn't make sense if it was a suicide. Kogoro then concludes that his friend was murdered.

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

[[File:Cheerful Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro has got his "spirit" back.]]
Seeing Kogoro's determination, despite having found out the truth behind the murder, Conan decides not to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] this time and chooses to give Kogoro clues so he can solve the case by himself. With Conan's help, Kogoro is able to figure out that the culprit is Kazushi Nakamichi. Yumi was killed after playing ping-pong with Kazushi after 6 PM, that way, her muscle would harden much faster than usual. Another evidence was when Kazushi knew for sure that she had been dead the moment they discovered her corpse. When Kazushi confesses and says that she was a demon who was destroying his life, Kogoro sarcastically asks him who the real demon is. Kazushi angrily grabs his yukata, only to be thrown by Kogoro, who thinks that he doesn't want to understand the feeling of a killer.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 16]]</ref> It is then revealed that Kogoro is the "strongest person" whom Kazushi was talking about earlier. He compliments Kogoro, saying he is still as strong as ever. However, Kogoro answers that Kazushi is the one who got weaker in both strength and mind.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 17]]</ref>

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


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

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

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



=== Scuba Diving Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|163-165]], Anime: [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|114-115]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro Eri beach.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro encounters Eri at Izu.]]
Kogoro, [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] vacation at a beach in Izu. When Ran asks her father to look at her new swimsuit, he tells her to keep quiet because it will be harder for him to flirt with women once they know that he's together with her. Suddenly, Kogoro notices a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing right next to them and excitedly asks if she needs any sun cream. To his surprise, when the woman turns around, he finds out that it is none other than [[Eri Kisaki|his wife]]. Kogoro and Eri soon realize that the coincidental encounter was set up by Ran in an attempt to get them back together. They react poorly to being manipulated and mock each other until Kogoro leaves to use the toilet. Ran starts to worry after Kogoro is gone for some time, but Eri predicts that Kogoro stopped flirting with other women. When Kogoro comes back, he is indeed shown with two young girls, Kiwako Toda and Harumi Matsuzaki. The situation worsens when Eri notices traces of sand on Kogoro's legs, and assumes he must have been kneeling while applying sun scream to those girls at the beach, then brought them back to show off to her. However, Conan suspects that Kogoro went searching for Eri's lost wedding ring until Kogoro’s goofiness makes Conan dismiss the idea.

[[File:Kogoro Eri giving cards.jpg|thumb|200px|The relationship between the two is still very tense despite Ran's efforts.]]
Later, with the invitation from the university students, the Mouri family have lunch together at a seaside restaurant. When Ran once again attempts to alleviate the tense relationship between Kogoro and Eri by commenting that Kiwako Toda and her boyfriend Masahiko Matsuzaki are childhood friends like they were, Kogoro sarcastically tells them that many couples have suffered in marriage for loving a friend they’ve known since childhood. He and Eri even give the young couple their business cards and recommend the two to seek them in case “he suspects that his wife is cheating” or because “they plan to divorce and she wants to get a lot of alimony from her husband”.

[[File:Kogoro returns ring.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro returns the ring back to Eri.]]
After Kiwako Toda goes diving with Ran and gets bitten by a sea snake, Ran is asked to identify it. Kogoro compliments his daughter for having a good sense of observation, but Eri takes advantage of the topic and comments that she is completely different from “a certain someone who still hasn’t even noticed that his wife’s finger is empty”. However, Kogoro acts as if he doesn’t understand Eri’s hint. Later, as Kogoro is about to drive Kiwako’s friends to the hospital, Eri decides to drop Ran and Conan off there and then goes home right away. However, Kogoro informs her with a serious expression that he has something to tell her after the case is resolved. At the hospital, when Eri is about to leave after seeing Kogoro to some girls, Conan asks a nurse to call Eri and Harumi Matsuzaki and tells them to go to an office to see Kogoro. He then immediately lures Kogoro into becoming "Sleeping Kogoro" and reveals that the culprit is none other than Harumi. Conan also adds that Eri didn't purposely remove the wedding ring to attract Kogoro’s attention. After the case is solved, it is revealed that Kogoro did indeed go search for the wedding ring, which explains the sand traces on his legs, as he knelt on the sand to do so. Kogoro takes the ring out of his pocket and throws it to Eri. He says that he figured it out because Eri was drying her hair with her glasses on; normally no one would do that unless they’re trying to find something on the ground. He also assumes that Eri intentionally dropped her ring and tried to make him see that by using her left hand to hold the cup and continuously waving it around. Just as their relationship looks to be improved by this act, Kogoro completely ruins the moment by showing off with the female nurses, which enrages Eri and she leaves right after.

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

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

[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A healed relationship?]]
Later, Kogoro accompanies the lawyers back to the hotel, where he, while unconscious, is instead brought to Usui's room as one of her tactics to ruin Eri's career by having "the queen" suspect that her husband has been cheating on her. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Usui is strangled by an unknown culprit with Kogoro being the only one found sleeping inside the locked crime scene. He is then suspected to have committed the murder.

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

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

The dinner doesn't go as well as planned. Kogoro behaves in his usual casual manner, acting indifferent to Eri's presence and seemingly having no intention of giving Eri the necklace.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Shooting ===
In the Wild Police Story spinoff, chapter 2, [[Hachizo Onizuka]] says to [[Rei Furuya]] that there is a genius senior who got full points in his first shooting test and hit the bulls-eye with all 20 bullets, states that he quits the force and was running a detective agency in Beika after, with Kogoro appears briefly.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:EP400 2.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro and Eri]]

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

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File: EP526 6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Ran.]]
Kogoro has raised his daughter Ran ever since he and Eri separated. She often has to look after her father because of his drinking and gambling habits. She is very determined to get her parents back together and tries every chance she gets to make them reconcile, though her attempts usually fail. Kogoro is very protective of Ran and deeply cares for her. There are many times when Kogoro shows concern for his daughter's safety, often getting serious when Ran is in trouble. He is also concerned about Ran's relationship with Shinichi, who he thinks always tries to seduce Ran (movie 'Captured In Her Eyes') and Episode 919, and can get agitated whenever his daughter's honour is threatened. This is evident from Kogoro's angry outburst at Ran's sleepy mumblings about the somewhat offensive words Shinichi had said to her aboard the flight to New York, in the episode 'The Locked Room In The Sky: Shinichi's First Case'. In chapter 924 when a group of three adults tried to kidnap 4-year-old Ran in kindergarten, and Kogoro had a very furious look on his face when he was about to arrest one of them. In episode 189 he gave her his coat to keep her warm when she slept at Conan side in his hospital room after giving him a blood fusion and told Conan that Ran gave Conan a lot of blood and if Conan doesn’t get better soon he will never forgive him. Kogoro doesn't actively try to wane Ran's love for Shinichi, but he has often advised her to give up on him.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP415 3.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan beaten by Kogoro for interfering in crime scene.]]

Kogoro took in Conan after he had 'solved' the case in episode 2, saying that Conan was his 'luck' and allowing Conan to live with them, but he mostly leaves it to Ran to take care of the boy. However, on multiple occasions, he has treated Conan nonchalantly, terming him a 'freeloader'. He has been suspicious of Conan's behavior at times but quickly drops his suspicions as ridiculous. Ever since Yukiko (disguised as Conan's nonexistent mother) gave Kogoro a large sum of money for Conan's expenses, he has been more than happy to take care of Conan. While Kogoro often shows a level of disregard towards his ward and has a habit of hitting Conan for disturbing him during investigations, there are rare moments where it is apparent he has become quite protective of Conan as well and considers him a normal part of the family.

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

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

==== Rei Furuya ====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rei wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]][[Rei Furuya]] (under the alias Tooru Amuro) became Kogoro's apprentice in the [[Wedding Eve]] case in exchange for a large fee every time Kogoro brought him on a case. Rei tends to act ingratiatingly whenever Kogoro Mouri is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Rei's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Rei flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the [[Black Organization]], Rei doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Rei is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Rei is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.
{{clear}}

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

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

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

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

== Trivia ==
[[File:Lupin 2-05 Kogoro.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro's flashy gold business cards]]
* In the movie continuity, Kogoro's practice of using ostentatious gold business cards carries over from [[Private Eye in the Distant Sea]] to [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]].
* Although Kogoro suffers from acrophobia, he sometimes seems to forget about his fear. For instance, he leans over the railing of a balcony on the 21st floor in episode 69 (Night Baron Murder Case). Furthermore, he feels perfectly comfortable onboard a plane in episode 162 (The locked Room in the Sky, Shinichi Kudo's First Case). In episode 596 (the Alibi of the Fall), he looks out of a window from the 6th floor, but then "remembers" his fear and recoils. The discontinuity is probably because Kogoro's fear was invented for [[Movie 2]] and did not originate in the manga where Kogoro is relatively fine around cliffs and tall buildings.
* Physician confirms that Kogoro would not survive Conan's stun-gun.<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-03-04/physician-confirms-that-detective-conan-kogoro-would-not-survive-conan-stun-gun/.143964 Anime New Network]</ref>
*In File 1047 and the Policewoman Serial Murder case, it’s revealed that he is involved with the neighbourhood association.
*It's revealed that in File 921 that Kogoro and his family use to live in an apartment before moving to the Mouri Detective Agency.
*According to Gosho in JUSTICE PLUS Super Digest Book, when Kogoro was Yuminaga-san’s subordinate Kogoro was scolded countless times because he trampled down an arson scene.
*According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book when he first ate Eri hi rad dish of beef stew he threw up
* According to Super Digest Book 100+ Kogoro ’s winning ticket in Wakita’s first appearance, was actually planted.

{{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 de-aged 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 on numerous occasions in different anime series (i.e. mainly cameo appearances) as well as other media.

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

[[File: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 businessman 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 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}}
[[File:Agasa shinichi.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi as Conan in his shrunken form with Hiroshi Agasa first time met and Professor Agasa will go to
Report to the police about this kid.]]

=== 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 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 School]] 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> In the beginning he found the kids annoying, but he started to warm up to them and even gives them missions to accomplish.

[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|thumb|200px|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 many later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterward that Shinichi told him what to say.

=== Encounter Black Organization ===
Soon after being shrunk, Conan sets the plan to pursue and arrest the Black Organization members. Initial attempts were in vain until Haibara appears and starts giving clues on their whereabouts. However, in some of his early attempts, Conan tends to underestimate the ability of the Organization, leading to situations where he or his close friends being harmed and almost killed. Once understood the Organization and having allies to help, among them Shuichi Akai, who had been undercover in the organization and knows their ways, his later plans are more successful to foil Black Organization's plans, although he hasn't been able to expose the Black Organization and arrest their members yet.
{{clear}}

== 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|left|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]
[[File:Ran conan do not tell.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi (Picture from the "[[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode one]]" version).]]
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 has shrunken into a child. As Shinichi, his deductive ability earned him the monikers "[[Wikipedia: Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and "Savior of the Japanese police force". Conan maintains 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".
Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he is 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.
[[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan whispers to [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]]
The only police officers with whom Conan can speak professionally are the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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.

While he thinks that criminals should be punished, he also seems willing to give culprits, who have attempted murder due to misunderstandings and fail, a second chance and let them off the hook.<ref>The Celebrities' Secret</ref><ref>Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter</ref><ref>Scuba Diving Murder Case</ref><ref>Poisoned Fisherman Attempted Murder Case</ref>

After he had one time failed to stop the culprit from committing suicide,<ref>[[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case|Episodes 11: Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]].</ref> he began to believe that a detective who has cornered a killer and just let him kill himself is no better than a murderer, and therefore he tries to do everything to stop it. At times when he fails to save the killer, it haunts him. At first, he's callous and unempathetic: in The Bandage Man Villa murder case, when the culprit threatens to commit suicide, Shinichi calls his bluff by outright telling him to do it. However, soon after that Shinichi suffers through his own Norbury with the Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, during which a culprit commits suicide because Shinichi identified them without thinking ahead to how the culprit might react. The next two cases were, a culprit planning to commit suicide to have Shinichi removing the lethal tools before confronting them and placing officers around the perimeter to prevent the culprit from jumping respectively—and in each instance, Shinichi is haunted by the death of the culprit in the Moonlight Sonata case, enough to snap at Hattori for offhandedly suggesting it may have been better if they let the culprit of the day kill themself, stating that a detective that allows that is "no better than a murderer himself." The Detective's Nocturne case caps off this development arc, with Shinichi accompanying and befriending a suicidal murderer to form an emotional connection and convince them not to kill themself.

However, an innate characteristic that he has, and probably had as Shinichi may be due to being a detective. Whenever he hears a scream or sees a culprit, he will immediately and without hesitation run toward the sound or culprit instinctively.

If he is with another adult, or detective, he will most likely be in front of 2 people running toward the sound.
If by himself or with some other non-detective, he will still be running toward the sound.
Whether it is a victim or a culprit, he will be one of the first 2 people.

If it is to a victim, and another detective or officer is present, he may hang back a little, but he has no hesitations to checking on the victim, looking for clues, or going after culprits.

And while it may have been somewhat forced on, Shinichi/Conan stops being as attention-seeking as he was in his original body.
Subtle, but during "The 3 'K's of Osaka" story, Conan/Shinichi didn't want to investigate the case because his soccer idol was a suspect (and later confirmed to be the actual culprit). Afterward, he stopped thinking like this, deciding that even if his friends, family, or someone close to either one is a suspect, he will consider that person a suspect until proven otherwise (such as Genta's dad being a possible suspect in "The Culprit is Genta's Dad" or Ran in "Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid").
In regards to his attitude in dealing with mysterious and dangerous Black Organization (B.O.), Shinichi initially and arrogantly believed he could easily take them down, taking only minimum precautions in the safety of himself and others. For example, when a B.O. member was suspected to be near in the "Reunion With The Black Organization" arc, Conan's way of protecting Haibara from being recognized is simply putting glasses on her; unfortunately, there was a B.O. member (Pisco) who instantly knew that Haibara was the shrunken Shiho Miyano and would have revealed her identity had he not been killed by Gin. It could've ended in more tragedy since Gin was very close to killing Haibara. This incident was a major wake-up call to the young detective that the organization isn't as easy to take down as he thought and that if he made a mistake, he or his loved ones could die. And while Shinichi/Conan still has a bit of a reckless side, he now asks for help when dealing with the B.O. and formulating plans to keep him and his allies safe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Conan full face.png|thumb|right|200px|]]
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 blazer 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.

Additionally, much like Hattori and Shinichi, Conan is incredibly popular. Ayumi and Haibara both have crushes on him, he has been hit on by girls around his shrunken age repeatedly, and even Jodie and Vermouth have both been charmed by his charisma. One even promised to make him her husband.

Conan eavesdrop Police investigation meeting in [[Zero the Enforcer|Conan the movie 22]] to save Kogoro mouri from being a suspect.]]
All of Shinichi's detective skills carry over to his Conan form, although Conan does not 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory 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 to link them to the crime. Conan has an 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 a few people like [[Heiji]], [[Saguru]] and [[Yusaku]] who are at the same detective level as Conan, with Yusaku, be the only person who is noticeably better than 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>

Additionally, in the [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Red, White, Yellow case]], Conan was specifically referred to and asked for help by a classmate.

=== Observation Sense ===
He is highly observant on almost every single thing in his life, whether at a crime scene or his everyday life, whether he is Shinichi or Conan. If he notices anything amiss, he will frequently leave the Detective Boys, or whoever to investigate immediately, esp. if he thinks the organization is involved, but his curiousity knows no bounds.

It is kind of like his brain will not rest, as long as he is awake because he frequently observes everything, and wants to investigate it.

[[Conan Cornered in the Darkness|At one point]], this is why he was kidnapped, and placed in a coffin with a fake bottom, in an old-style hearse, which the kidnappers did not know was going to be sent to the scrapyard and crushed within hours of placing him in there.

He is also a real people watcher and spends a lot of time watching people help determine careers, emotions, what is going on with them to name a few. If need be he will get up, and investigate further.

He frequently notices momentary facial expressions that are only on a person's face for a second or two, which is all it takes for him to register the true emotions of people and various culprits. Such as a suddenly hidden smile upon finding the body of one's spouse, and the list goes on.

Some examples are the following:

In [[Home of Beika's Grenier]], when the old man used a hand to stand up, despite the presence of 4 little children, Conan noticed instantly the look that the old woman gave her husband since he should not have used his hands to stand up in the presence of others.

In [[The Tense Tea Party]], in [[Haido Central Hospital]], Conan was watching [[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]], and instantly noticed how he reacted after a small child was counting down, "Three... Two... One..." and shouted out, "Zero!!" Since Amuro noticed his reaction, he had to cover it up, and say that "'Zero' was one of his nicknames when he was a little child."

This was the first clue to Conan that Amuro may not just be the Black Organization Member Bourbon, but [[Public Security Bureau|something else too]]. During [[The Scarlet Return]], Conan began to deduce from his observations, that Amuro was from the Japanese Secret Police, which became confirmed by the end of the saga.

Even when he was little he was practicing observing details and guessing careers of people, [[Episode 881|not always accurately]], but he was a little boy at the time. This became much more accurate as he became older, and he retained this knowledge when he shrunk down to Conan.

=== Being Watched or Paranoia Sense ===
However, this particular Sense is the sense to know when he is being watched or observed by others. It may be called Paranoia, but it is not Paranoid if someone is really watching or following him, which he can quickly pick up on usually.

This may stem from his involvement with the [[Black Organization]], and others.

It may also help that his parents like to watch their son in disguise, and [[Yukiko Kudo|esp. his Master Of Disguise Mother]], with his [[Yusaku Kudo|Mystery Author father's]] habit of testing his son's observations and deductions from the time when he was a young child.

This ability is even more important due to the Black Organization wanting both [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] and his [[Shinichi Kudo|teenage self]] 'Dead," since it helps to protect them.

This sense comes in a lesser degree as well:

Although Conan can speak professionally with 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, as well as everyone, who know his identity, it does cause problems with everyone else.
He can even speak this way to the [[Detective Boys]].

This Sense also allows him to eventually realize when he is being highly descriptive, and rambling with adult knowledge, for him to quickly cover it up with "saw it on Tv'" "Heard it from [[Kogoro Mouri|Uncle]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], or [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]," and to begin talking and acting like a kid, even though the Detective Boys do not get why he suddenly goes all child-like, which is the only time he does.

It may also help him to know when [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] is suspicious that he is Shinichi Kudo, so he has to attempt to behave more like a child to mislead her for her protection.

This sense also allows him to determine if it is safe to use his tranquilizer on someone for the "sleeping Detective" routine. If he is being too closely watched, he has to continue to give hints, and possibly throughout the entire deduction, if he is unable to tranquilize someone: Kogoro, [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], or someone else, if necessary.

This sense did not seem to activate at all at [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|the shrine]], when he was talking to Jodie, however, after a disguised Bourbon had a little chat with Jodie, and secretly placed a listening device in her sleeve, he wandered off, so that he can continue listening to them.

However, with that deceased pickpocketing case, he and the other pickpocket victims were brought to the crime scene, so he continued listening to Jodie and Conan's conversation, although he did not appear to watch or pay any attention to Jodie, Conan, Agasa, or any of the 4 kids, he probably had a good view of [[Haibara]], unlike every other time, [[Sweet and Cold Delivery Service|when she attempts to hide her face from him]].

If he was visually watching intently, Conan would probably have picked it up, but Bourbon's observations were done in a way, that did not place Conan on high alert, except for when Jodie kept bringing up "Shuu."

Needless to say, after the [[Kogoro in the Bar]] case, when Takagi told him some information, he was really on high alert, and this sense may not have activated due to his panic mode, which was still evident at the beginning of [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well]] case, although he was being observed by Bourbon, who was listening around the corner, however for several hours later, he did appear to be quite paranoid, and maybe that is why it did not appear to activate because he was already on high alert and frightened at the time.

Now, this sense is sometimes just a fleeting sense, however, something does seem to activate it, even if it was just momentarily, but it does leave a hint that someone might be watching him.

=== Speed Reader ===
In [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], he was shown to be able to read through hospital records at a lightning-fast speed.

=== Killer Radar ===
This radar is not completely accurate, but at times, he only has to see a person to know that they are the killer.

In the first episode, he could sense that [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] were killers, but that did not stop him from tailing Vodka, only to be knocked out by Gin, and fed a [[Apoptoxin 4869|poison pill, which made him shrink to the body of a 7-year-old]].

In [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion]], he knew who the killer was within minutes of the body being discovered, and merely had to get the evidence and figure out the trick.

There are many other instances as well.

In [[The Mysterious Woman With Amnesia Case]], he probably would have picked up on the amnesiac woman being a killer, but she did have amnesia, although he highly suspected when he saw her hands, which are the hands of someone who works with wire. He picked up that she was a hitwoman, who specialized in killing by use of a wire garrote, which she used to strangle her victims.

In one episode, someone fell from a balcony, and Conan instantly knew this woman was the killer. The police brought up the information of her husband being killed during a robbery a while back.

After she was questioned and was allowed to leave, Conan began acting and begging her to let him ride in her expensive-looking car, and she did. They left without [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].

He even managed to have her take him to see her place.

After she left him alone, he began investigating, and around the time of his deduction, Kogoro called him, and the call ended soon afterward.

When Conan stated that he knows that she is responsible for the death of her husband, and the guy who just fell, she threatened to kill him, and he lets her know that he hit redial on the phone, and Kogoro stated, "The police are on there way."

=== Suicide Alertness ===
This sense allows him to determine if a person, and most likely the culprit is likely to commit suicide, which would probably be a result of the deduction stage of a case.
Sometimes, it may be simply obvious, with the culprit stating their suicidal intentions, but it is not usually that way, and Conan's sense was developed after a specific incident.

In [[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]], Conan figured out that the serial killer planned to die, like his father, and before their mind could be changed, the culprit threw Conan through the window, just before the building went up in flames. Since that incident, Conan is more determined to take the suicidal choice away from the culprits.

In [[Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case]], Conan had asked, [[Heiji]], "If he ever killed anyone before," stating that he feels that letting a person commit suicide when it can be stopped is the same as killing the person oneself.
While Conan was talking with Heiji, he was also replacing the gasoline with water to stop the culprit's Murder/Suicide.

In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken.

The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency if Kogoro cannot name the killer and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].

After [[the Detective Boys]] managed to do the footwork, Conan was able to finish solving the case, but he first had to stop the gunman from committing a murder/suicide, so he bluffed that the sister killed herself.
After the gunman was arrested, Conan finished solving the case, out of earshot of the suicidal man and named the killer, who is not who they thought it was.

In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], Conan quickly figured out that the woman in the agency's bathroom was the killer of the "accused deceased guy.
After [[Bourbon|Amuro]], [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], Ran, and Conan escorted her home to her apartment, then Conan behaved like he was desperate to use the bathroom, which made sense, since a corpse was on the toilet seat of the apartment until the police removed it, and it is still a crime scene.

When everyone else went to the kitchen for tea or something, Conan rushed to the bathroom and quickly went in the other direction to investigate the apartment. Most likely, he discovered bugs, and especially a bug in the suitcase with another corpse, which was under the bed.

When he was finished with his investigation, he left the apartment and waited for her.

After Masumi called Ran, Amuro and Kogoro realized there are bugs present, and Amuro hung up on Masumi.

Amuro has a bug detector, and while Amuro, Kogoro, and Ran went on the search to discover all of the bugs in the apartment, the woman made up an excuse and immediately bumped into Conan, who was waiting for her.

She agreed to take him with her to a nearby convenience store and gave him some juice, which she drugged with sleeping pills. After he appeared to fall asleep, she continued driving.

When Kogoro, Ran, and Amuro discovered the body and noticed Conan's absence, Kogoro called the culprit/kidnapper, and she stated that Conan will be returned in the morning.

After Kogoro and Amuro did more investigating, and noticing that bank robbery, and that 2 of the suspects are the dead guy in the suitcase and the deceased one at the agency.

Ran told Masumi and Agasa that Conan has been kidnapped, which of course sets the stage for the big rescue scene:

Masumi on her motorcycle

[[Subaru]], [[Agasa]], and [[Haibara]] in Subaru's car, with Haibara wearing the tracking glasses.

Amuro, Ran, and Kogoro are in another Vehicle, with Kogoro in the back seat.

At some point, Conan stopped acting like he was asleep, and gave her his deduction and even helped her to discover which of those 3 women is the third bank robber, who killed her boyfriend in the bank. However, he would not give her the answer straight away, since he told her, "I do not want to lose anyone. I mean you," since he read that she intended to kill the third robber, and then herself.

By bonding with her, he managed to get her to agree to let the police handle it, and to turn herself in, once he told her.
His plan was working splendidly until the third robber, with a shooting gun, entered the car, and grabbed and immobilized Conan, as well as holding tightly to his right wrist, so that he could not tranquilize her, which is where the rescuers came in.

In another episode, Conan was with [[the Detective Boys]], when they came across a man, and after he dropped his lottery tickets, they helped him to pick it up. This man was talking positively about the future, and he even had lunch with the 5 children.

After he left, Conan notified and began teaching the other Detective Boys the signs that this man was about to commit suicide today, and they followed this man to a subway station.

Conan stating, "It'll hurt, you know," referring to jumping in front of the subway train.

Conan and all of the Detective Boys: [[Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko]], [[Ayumi]], and [[Haibara]] told him their evidence that he was about to commit suicide.

Conan even managed to help him to locate the winning lottery ticket that he had lost, which was inside of the eyeglass container that his sick and hospitalized granddaughter gave him. He had not opened it since he lost that ticket. He was contemplating suicide to have his life insurance pay for her operation, thankfully he now has the lottery ticket, which may be able to help his granddaughter.

After all, if he did commit suicide, the insurance company would not have paid it, if they were aware it was a suicide, which thankfully these 5 kids prevented.

Thankfully, Conan began teaching the other Detective Boys some of the signs of a suicidal person, so they may be aware of them next time they find another suicidal person.

=== Bluffing and Telling Lies===
He can bluff if needed to come to the correct deduction. However, he is not a great liar.

Bluffing is giving misinformation, to trip up the culprit. A few examples of Conan's Bluffs are the following:

In [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he stated the incorrect question of number 241 on that Holmes Test to prove that the culprit did not answer any of the 1,000 questions since he knew the test grader was already deceased.

In [[The Case of the Lucky Calico|the Lucky Calico]] case, he told 2 bluffs, although only 1 bluff was discussed:

The first one was to mistake the gender of a male calico, and stating it was a female, to gauge how this "supposed owner" would react since male calico cats are worth a fortune. Conan managed to see the reaction before [[the Detective Boys]] blew it. Either way, this "supposed owner would have backed out if the calico was a female.

The second bluff was discussed when [[Azusa]] stated that she did not know that "when a group of people is together, the cat will always jump to the one in the middle." [[Amuro]] stated that Conan did a bluff so that he can perform his experiment with the calico and the 3 "supposed owners," before remarking that Conan is like a cat sharpening his claws." Amuro also did not state that it was to allow more time to pass, so that the [http://catnip catnip], would not affect [[Taii]] or [[Goro]], so that Taii's true owner can be properly identified.

In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken.

The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency if Kogoro cannot name the killer and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].

After the [[Detective Boys]] managed to do the footwork, Conan was able to finish solving the case, but he first had to stop the gunman from committing a murder/suicide, so he bluffed that the sister killed herself.
After the gunman was arrested, Conan finished solving the case, out of earshot of the suicidal man and named the killer, who is not who they thought it was.

As far as his cover of Conan Edogawa, he does have a hard time keeping others ignorant of his true identity.
It does not help that he behaves more like an adult, when not actively playing with the Detective Boys, and he quickly switches to Adult Mode, if an investigation is in order, due to a crime or something else entirely.

Two major examples of his being a lousy liar:

When he had a hold of [[Kir]]'s shoe, with his bug and transmitter, at the park, she asked him if he followed her, while applying her CIA Lie Test to him.
She made him feel weird, and he did say "no," but she knew that he did follow her, and lied about it. It is a good thing that she previously turned off her camera or wire, so the other [[Black Organization|Black Organization Operatives]] may not kill him. She then thanked him for "picking up her shoe for her," before leaving.

In [[Haido Central Hospital]], [[Amuro]] asked Conan if he remembers his friend, [[Kusuda Rikumichi]], who was a patient, but went missing.
[[The Tense Tea Party|Conan, quickly trying to end that line of questioning from Bourbon, quickly answered, "No."]]

Amuro smiled and told him that he was amazing. He then went to question other people nearby, and returned to Conan, and stated, "Most people are not confident in their memories to instantly remember a person by their name only. Usually, they have to ask questions, before answering."
It is kind of like Amuro was aware of how amazing Conan is at so many different things, but he can't lie to save his life.
It is like Amuro decided to give the kid a tip on how to tell a convincing lie.

=== Strategist ===
He may not have always been a great strategist, but his strategies are becoming much better.

In [[Boy Genta's Misfortune]], he deduced information of the culprit, and ... He may not have organized the stakeout of that building yet, however, he did organize a roadblock with Sato, who got in contact with Yumi in [[The Man from Chicago]], when a [[James Black|foreign man]] was kidnapped. Unfortunately, Yumi did let them through since they were in a police car and dressed as policemen, however when they deduced that Conan came up with a scheme so that the police can surround the culprits, by making it look like they were chasing some kidnappers, who kidnapped some kids. The plan worked wonders. By the way, even James Black the kidnappee, knew who staged his rescue with that ploy, after just one encounter with the five "Detective Boys," and all Conan had to go on was "P & A."

In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], when Conan was on the phone with [[Vodka]], pretending to be the recently found '[[Suguru Itakura|dead guy]],' he successfully managed to move the meet up. He wanted to have the meet before they found out the guy was dead, and he was hoping to get fingerprints, saliva, DNA, etc.

The thing is it may have worked if [[Gin]] did not stop Vodka from touching the item. In short, Gin became aware that someone crafty, like a fox, is after them. In short, Conan forgot, who he was dealing with, the "[[Black Organization|Men in Black]]," and to be more precise, the two that [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|shrunk, and almost killed]] him before.

Conan managed to survive that encounter, but just barely due to Gin discounting something important. At any rate, Conan was stuck in that locker for several hours, and even lost some oxygen, and blacked out for a while. Conan has since that time became much more cautious when dealing with the organization, unfortunately, there is no one-hundred-percent safe way to take on that organization.

In [[Episode 345|Head-To-Head]], after he received an invitation from [[Vermouth]], he asked [[Haibara]] about her, and decided to tranquilize her, and lock her in the basement, and attempted to hide the spare tracking glasses.

He mentioned to [[Agasa]], that [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s name is on the invitation and envelope, and his: Conan Edogawa's name is on the letter, in short, Vermouth knows his identity.

He e-mailed someone and got a reply and a sudden cough.
He inspected his house and found [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother]].

He told his mother about Vermouth, and her knowing his identity. He had her do some disguises.
Yukiko disguised [[Hattori]] as first a teenage Shinichi, and then as the Invisible Man for the party.
She then disguised Conan to took like Haibara.
She then gave herself a Medusa Disguise and accompanied Hattori on the ship with Kudo's invitation.

[[Jodie]] picked up Haibara, who was a disguised Conan, and he told her what to say for Vermouth to reveal herself.

He planned on having her take him into the Organization, but she attempted to kill Jodie, he unmasked himself, and his plan went out the window, when Haibara escaped from the basement, and found the spare tracking glasses, and arrived at the scene since she was tracking Conan.

In [[Clash of Red and Black]], he came up with a few strategies:
He told his plan to [[Akai]], who was heavily involved with both major SECRET strategies.

First, you need a "[[Eisuke Hondo|Prince]] to wake up the [[Kir|sleeping Princess]]," which means Eisuke to wake up his sister, who is continuing to fake her comatose condition.

Then Conan, Akai, Kir, and [[Camel]] are involved in the returning Kir Undercover in the [[Black Organization]], keeping everyone else in the dark, until she is back undercover.

Then Conan came up with the plan to fake Akai's death by out-guessing [[Gin]], the entire way. Only Akai and Kir, as well as Conan, were in on this plan, but Conan could not be present, at this time at all, and did need to give Jodie his phone with the needed fingerprints. Everyone else was left in the dark, except for [[James Black]], who noticed the glue-like substance on Akai's fingertips just before the meet.

In [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]], Conan had even less time to come up with a working strategy, since he did have his guard down. Thankfully, his mother let him know Vermouth was on the train, and he saw the Picture [[Mitsuhiko]] took of [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] when she saved them a little earlier.

He had to quickly come up with a plan, which used an all-star cast of himself, his mother, [[Subaru]], and [[Kaito Kid|Kid disguised as Sherry]] as the finishing touches.

That strategy worked out big time, since they were able to save Haibara's life, discover [[Bourbon]]'s identity, and make Vermouth agree to quit trying to kill her.

In [[Scarlet showdown|the Scarlet episodes]], after Camel let it slip that [[Rikumichi Kusuda|Kusada]] shot himself in the head, Conan had less than a day to come up with a plan that made Bourbon think that Subaru and Akai were 2 different people and to save Akai again.

This time, Akai was in the back of Jodie and Camel's car.

His mother, Yukiko Kudo, was disguised as her husband appearing on tv at an awards ceremony.

His father, Yusaku Kudo, was dressed as [[Subaru]].
His father was wearing a voice-changing facemask and did a bit of coughing.
Sometimes he answered, and Conan listening in another room, with several cameras, had to also use Subaru's voice when talking to Bourbon in the living room.

=== 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 a 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 is 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 backflip on his skateboard 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.

=== Acting Ability ===
He may not have great acting ability, however, he is good enough to accomplish his goals.

In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], he was given some juice, drugged with sleeping pills. He noticed that the safety seal was broken, so he pretended to drink it, and also at some time, appeared to fall asleep, spilling half of the juice on the back seat floorboard of her car, and acted asleep for a long time.

At some point, she even laid him down in the back seat, where he remained in that pose for a long time.

When it was dark, and she stopped to get gas and go to the restroom, she covered him with her coat, so he would not get sick.

He continued acting asleep when she returned, although he probably went through her coat pockets when she was away.

He continued acting asleep, until he decided that he had enough evidence for his deduction, and to give it to her.

In [[Two Days with the Culprit]], after he was kidnapped by Ryousuke Oomine, when he had an opening in some kind of room, he acted like he was scared of a rat or something, and began hugging, but in reality, he was frisking him to determine if he is armed.

After he solved the case, he asked Ryousuke Oomine, "how are you at acting," and they went to the location of the three suspects, and put on an act like he was about to kill Conan, for the culprit to reveal himself. It worked.

In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night]], Conan did a good job of acting like [[Haibara]] in the car with [[Jodie]], but he probably broke character to tell Jodie what to say to [[Vermouth]] to get her to reveal herself to them, but that also earned his trust in Jodie at the same time.

After he removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wristwatch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.

After Vermouth abducted the unconscious Conan and drove some distance away, she e-mailed the boss and began thinking. When she touched his shoulders, she felt some wires and stuff on him, so she cut his coat, and found some tubes going from Conan's body into a box. She started to rip out the wires from the box, and heard, "I wouldn't if I were you." If those wires were pulled, it would send information to the machine that he is dead, and that e-mail that she just sent would be sent to his partner and the police. It is unknown just how long he was asleep, and when he woke up, but he later recalled the sound of the digits to the Boss.

In [[The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History]], the TV Special, while in a public bathroom, and after Conan saw some important evidence, he realized the danger, and faked a slip on the wet floor, where he was promptly chloroformed, and abducted.

When he woke up, he pretended that he had amnesia.
He eventually revealed that he was Edogawa Conan Detective to one of the people involved, however, the amnesiac child act had to continue for the duration of the case.

In [[The Woman with White Hands|The Woman with White Hands Case]], while rehearsing his lines for tomorrow's play, Conan is playing 'Ikku' in the school play.

All of the following: [[Kobayashi-sensei]], [[Rumi Wakasa|Rumi-sensei]] as well as Conan's classmates are astonished at his wonderful acting and delivery of his lines.

He told Haibara that he played that part when he was in third grade, and his parents had trained him well. With [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother being an actress]], and his [[Yusaku Kudo|father being a mystery writer]], who suggested a better phrase for him to say rather than the written line.

In short, neither of his parents would have permitted him to give anything less than stellar performance, so they made certain his performance was perfect. This is why he missed several rehearsals as Conan as he remembered most of his lines.

In [[A Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case]], at a beer garden at night, Conan overheard this man on the phone and surmised that his child had been abducted. Surprisingly Kogoro and Ran listened, and they followed this man, who they found out was a dentist.

However, the only way to find out more, and everything, is to talk to the dentist. Since there may be some onlookers, Conan decided to play the part of a patient.

He did a magnificent job of acting like a little boy who had an excruciatingly bad toothache to convince any onlookers that he was a patient so that they could enter the Dentist's office and talk to the Dentist. He appeared to be even louder than Kogoro on the intercom, asking for his child to be able to see the dentist, even though the dentist's office is closed.

As good as he is at acting, he is not always great at it.

Most notably, when he is petrified.

When he hears the [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children's melody]], he is unable to even act, like it is nothing, and esp. if he hears it in regards to dialing the [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Boss's]] [[The Raven Chaser|E-mail]] [[Dissonance of the Stradivarius Violin|address]].

At the [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|shrine with Jodie]], he was definitely unguarded, and the two did quite a bit of talking: before and after she had been bugged by a disguised [[Bourbon]] (Claiming to be [[Tohei Benzaki|a hostage, who was coincidentally pickpocketed just before being knocked out by Bourbon]], at the same bank with Jodie and the [[Scar Akai|scarred guy]]), until a disguised Vermouth (Claiming to be his [[Motoe Benzaki| 6-month pregnant wife, who taped up Jodie]] at the bank) removed the bug.

In the [[Kogoro in the Bar|Kogoro at the Bar Case]], [[Takagi Wataru|Detective Takagi]] notified Conan, that Tohei Benzaki, claims that he was never involved in a pickpocket case and that he is single, and Conan begins to remember that the Bank robbers separated the hostages, who came with someone, from those who came alone. Only those who came alone taped up the ones who came with others.

This placed Conan in a panicky state, and he began running from the bar, probably to the [[Agasa|professor]]'s house, since it is unlikely that he would have fled back to the Detective Agency, since [[Haibara]] might be in danger. If he did go to Agasa's house, it may also have placed [[Subaru]]/ [[Akai]] in danger too.

In [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|the Bathroom where Ran Collapsed As Well Case]], he was still running from the bar.

He began thinking that Bourbon and Vermouth may have made those purposeful mistakes in their story to trap him into making a mistake too, so he tried to calm down and called Haibara, who is safe, at this time. He then hung up.

Around the corner, Bourbon had been closely watching him, when he was on the phone.

Later that day, [[Ran]] and Conan were in an apartment complex lobby, while they were waiting for [[Eri Kisaki|Ran's mother]], to have lunch.

Conan was attempting to act normal, although he failed miserably since he was looking around the entire time, since they arrived, and probably ever since he hung up from Haibara earlier.

He was so obviously frightened, that Ran asked if he is okay. He answered in the affirmative, but soon afterward, he was sweating bullets.

Ran thought about taking him home, rather than eating with her Mom, since he might be coming down with something.

Soon afterward, an already terrified Conan begins hearing the shutter of a camera and becomes even more terrified. Soon afterward, he saw a camera take his picture from behind a nearby chair, and [[Masumi]] came out of hiding, which helped his fear to disappear, so that he can go back to his normal "Not terrified for your life" state again.

She probably witnessed his fear, while working on a case for her client, but chose to help him to calm down finally.

In short, when he is terrified, he is unable to act like everything is normal.

Another way that he fails at acting is when he cracks the culprit's trick and gets the last bit of evidence for his deduction.

If anyone is watching Conan at these times, he may have some explaining to do.
However, no one is paying attention to him at these many times. They are either not around, due to 'less footwork' or completely ignoring him, unless they (Kogoro) want to get on to him for being where he shouldn't, and react promptly to that reprimand, rather than observing him.

He has shown both of these expressions a lot, and sometimes even both of them.
The first is when he usually figures out the trick, and the momentary reaction he has when everything clicks into place.
The second has finally been termed as a 'Prankster Smile' in the lucky calico case, by the detective boys, most noticeably Haibara and Ayumi in that order to realize that when he shows that smile, he has cracked the case and figured out everything.

Unfortunately, he is frequently unable to act bored much of the time, even as Conan, since he is a genius, who could probably teach his high school teachers things as Shinichi Kudo, and bring him back to elementary school, and he is bored to death if he can't use his intellectual brain, which does help that most of the culprits do have a trick that requires to be cracked if they are to be caught.

However, if a trick, code, or riddle is highly perplexing, Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement, which he is not good at hiding from the observant.

=== Thirst For Intellectual Stimuli ===
In [[The Secret of the Moon, the Star, and the Sun]], Professor Agasa made a treasure hunt game for the Detective Boys, really wanting it to be very difficult that Shinichi would practically give up, forgetting that if it was that way, the three real first graders would be unable to crack it at all.

At any rate, Conan had already cracked the case and found the professor's box within five minutes of entering the house, and he was focused on a much more complex code that someone else had come up with at the house.

The Detective Boys reprimanded Conan for being lazy, and not help to figure out where the clues to the Professor's treasure hunt, so that Conan had to lead the lazy children to each clue, so it is surprising that he did not just tell them where the box is, and don't bother him while he is focused on this less boring code.

However, Agasa noticed Conan's deliriously happy expression when he was getting to solve a complicated riddle. Conan even stated, "The more I don't understand, the more excited I get."

Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement in these cases, much like his boredom when he cannot use his brain, and [[The Final Screening Murder Case]] showed his limit is only two hours than he HAS to use his brain to be HAPPY.

He only seems happy when he can use his brain or with Ran, and even then, there are lots of idiots in his world, not saying names though. Even though she is not one usually.

Thankfully, most of the culprits do use a trick or code to excite him, in contrast to a very simple one in [[The Secret of the High Sales]], which was solved by 3 real first-grade children. He even stated at the end of that case, "His brain needs a smart culprit." Due to the simpleness of the culprit, he had a hard time with that case. That may explain why Haibara was uninvolved in that case since she was aware 'the culprit' was too simple and unintellectual for Conan's level of complexity.

In fact, in [[Conan vs. Kaitou Kid]], he was bored at the talk of the thief, since "This is stupid. Thieves are boring.," and planned on going to bed, however as soon as they mentioned a coded message of the announcement, he was all ears. In fact. Even though he cracked the code at Beika Museum, in the daytime, he did not tell anyone else that they were far off the mark.

Instead, he snuck out at night to meet the Kid that night. Conan asked Agasa about tome information in his father's files, before meeting Kid, since he was fascinated to meet Kaito Kid, a "strange retro-thief, whose crazy enough to announce his moves."

Thankfully, there are some detectives and federal agents, where he can show his intellectual stimuli, and this is done by them recognizing that he is the one solving Kogoro's cases and that he is a very smart child, even if they are unaware of who he is:
[[Jodie Starling]], [[James Black]], [[Miwako Sato]], [[Kansuke Yamato]], and [[Yui Uehara]], and even [[Wataru Takagi]], and the famous Shogi player, [[Shukichi Haneda]], an [[Black Organization|undercover]] [[Japanese Intelligence Agencies|Federal Agent]], [[Rei Furuya]].

It is hard to say if he can even hide his intellect and thirst for it from [[Hyoue Kuroda]], a [[Rum]] Contender, since before their [[Kawanakajima Murder Case|first case]], Kuroda had already allowed it to be known that he was aware of Conan's deductive intelligence, by his introduction of Conan, 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and say that Conan can crack cases by seeing what no one else does. Conan Edogawa, Detective," in front of the Nagano Policemen present. In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent]], he refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: Ninzaburo Shiratori and Inspector Yuminaga.

As much as Conan may want to hide his intellect from Hyoue Kuroda until he deduces Rum's identity, it may not be possible.
After all, in a case, Kuroda did tell Takagi and Megure to do whatever Conan says, and in another case, he did instruct Bourbon to answer all of Conan's questions about the case, when he realized that Conan is also investigating this case too.

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

In [[A June Bride Murder Case]], In the manga, Conan rinses out Miss Matsumoto's mouth with milk after he sees her collapsing, to neutralize the poison in her body. It is later stated that this bit of first aid may have been the reason why Miss Matsumoto was discharged from the hospital sooner than anticipated. These parts are cut from the anime entirely.

In [[Scuba Diving Murder Case]], after a woman had suffered a snake bite from a water snake, Conan immediately grabbed a glass of ice tea and gave it to those sucking out the poison, and treating her.

Although Kogoro did not know of any of this, Eri told him, "Ice Tea has Tannin. The first thing to do in the case of a snake bite... is to make use of the Tannin component in tea to clean the wound and alleviate the poison." While Kogoro is flabbergasted that Conan is aware of what to do in a snake bite, Eri states, "That boy is quite sharp. Compared to people like us, sitting here with our arms folded, he's much more of an asset. More importantly, the ex-policeman here doesn't seem to know a thing about this."

In [[The Celebrities' Secret]], is the first case that does go more into detail about Conan's first aid skills, such as giving sugar sticks to a person who attempted suicide with a hypoglycemic drug, which is used to treat Diabetes. The other case that showed his first aid skills was in the Scuba Diving Murder Case, when he quickly grabbed a glass of ice tea, due to the needed Tannin, to combat the poisonous snake bite. In the other case, he handed the tea to the rescuers, however in this case, he began administering it himself.

In all three cases, the person survived, due to his first aid knowledge and skills.

However, these are just three of the cases that showcase it or two in the anime.

=== Stamina ===
It is hard to say about his stamina since he was shrunk down to Conan.
It is not as good when he is in his 17-year-old body since he now has the body of a 7-year-old.

Without Agasa's gadgets, His strength is also that of a 7-year-old too, which includes his kicking strength as well.

However, he is a very active, and maybe hyperactive little kid, who frequently uses his feet and legs, whether running, kicking, and skateboarding around the town. So his feet and leg muscles are probably stronger than when he was first shrunk, but still..., he would be toast without the professor's Gadgets and especially his superkick shoes.

He probably has normal stamina for a little kid, although some of the feats, and esp. in non-cannon movies, may seem to exaggerate his stamina, but even in the scene when Ran was pushed in front of a moving train, and Conan immediately jumped down, grabbed her, and dragged her to safety, he was panting afterward.

=== Music ===
[[File: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 a 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 that he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 [[The Secret Played by the Diary|(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. Surprisingly, Conan recognizes Twinkle Twinkle Little Star lyric from hearing 4 sets of 7-times tapping on the phone and can sing this song very well when he distracts a serial killer from assaulting Naeko in File 1017 [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|(Episode 974)]].

Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in Movie 12, 'Full Score of Fear' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

=== Bomb defusion ===
Conan can defuse a bomb effortlessly without external instruction. This has been demonstrated once in canon, and multiple times in movies.

When Conan was in the area with the bomb, which only he could reach, while the bomb squad was trying to determine the kind of bomb that Conan is with so that they can give the little boy instructions on how to disarm the bomb.<ref name="ep304">[[Episode 304]]</ref>

He had already begun disarming it, and only stopped, when he realized if he waited until 3 seconds before the detonation, he will receive a hint as to the location of another bomb, so he hesitated, and discovered that it was Teitan High School, with the letters E-V-I-T. He also managed to disarm it before it blew up.

=== Criminal psychology ===
Conan shows a keen understanding of criminal psychology, occasionally being able to sense if someone is the true criminal. He can also predict the movement and plan of the criminals, and in some cases, he used this skill to "bluff". By deliberately giving the wrong deduction, he managed to make the criminal reveal the key evidence of the case, confess, abandon suicide's attempt, or lead them to the wrong ends (if they are chasing Conan).

In non-canon, it was shown that if the criminal doesn't conform to the general intellectual pattern, Conan will have trouble deducing their crime, even if it is so obvious that the Detective Boys can deduce perfectly.

[[File:Conan First met Kaito Kid.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan introduces himself to Kaito Kid when they first met. "Conan Edogawa, a detective!" in [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode One]].]]

=== Reverse Psychology ===
In the Clash of Red and Black Arc, he planned along with Shuichi how to replace Kir ack undercover in the Black Organization, without telling the rest of the FBI until it was over, however he did have to outthink Gin.

He had to outthink Gin, and implement Reverse Psychology, if not Reverse Reverse Psychology when planning Akai's Faked death at Railla Pass.

They knew that Kir would have to prove herself by killing Akai and that Gin always kills with headshots, so he would demand that of her.

He also knew it would be at Railla Pass, and used Kusada's body, thanks to that spy shooting himself in the head and committing suicide.

He also knew since Kusada had already touched his phone, make it look to the other FBI Members that Akai touched Conan's phone, but Akai had some substance to keep his fingerprints off of it entirely.

In short, Conan had to predict what Gin would demand and where at, along with Kir and Akai, and at the same time, making Gin think that it is all "his idea."

The only ones allowed in on the following secrets:

Placing Kir back undercover:
Conan, who planned it
Akai
Kir
Andre Camel, who had to drive her.

The other FBI members did not find out until she was placed back undercover, otherwise, they may have given the act away.

Akai's Faked Death:
Conan, who planned it, and even arranged for Akai to meet his Mom and Agasa somewhere else to help his new disguise.
Kir, who was to kill him to prove herself to Gin
Akai, who was to die
James Black, who noticed the glue or substance to Akai's fingertips, just before the fateful meeting.

No one else was let in on that secret at all, until the scarlet episodes, when Jodie and Camel finally learned about it, including Bourbon, who figured it out due to his keen observation skills.

=== "7 Children" or "[[Nanatsu no Ko]]" Alertness ===
This can also be called the Boss's E-Mail Address Alertness as well.

After Conan's confrontation with Vermouth, when he appeared to still be unconscious from his tranquilizer dart, he heard her press the digits on her cell phone to reply to "BOSS" of the Black Organization at the end of Head to Head Halloween Party episode.

He remembered the sounds of the digits being pressed when she was dialing the boss's e-mail address to respond to a message that he had sent her.

Conan may be tone-deaf, but he does have Perfect Pitch and can recognize the tune of the Boss's e-mail address.

At the end of The Dissonance of the Stradivarius Episode 387, he found out those digits are for the song of "7 Children" or "Nanatsu no Ko," which happens to the Boss of the Black Organization's E-mail address.

He can recognize that tune in an instant, and immediately is on the hunt for the Black Organization Member, who just e-mailed their Boss.
He cannot even pretend to act normally when he hears this tune.

Even just the first four digits place him on high alert before he discovered the name of the tune.

Even though Haibara stated that the e-mail address is a Pandora Box, which should never be opened, or dialed.

Since he can recognize the Boss's e-mail immediately, which has shown many times:

After his bug and transmitter, accidentally fell on the ground, and Rena stepped on it, he immediately heard her dial the Boss's e-mail address, and found out her code name of Kir, among other stuff.

That tune also came in handy at finding out that a Black Organization Spy had infiltrated Haido Central Hospital, where Kir was hospitalized due to the e-mail being dialed.

Even in the Non-cannon movie: The Raven Chaser, after Conan found out that the Boss's E-mailed had been dialed, he immediately chased after a disguised Vermouth, and saw her enter Gin's Porsche. Unfortunately, Irish, another disguised Black Organization Member, who was impersonating the Superintendant Kiyonaga Matsumoto, noticed Conan's behavior, and immediately began investigating Conan, and he even managed to obtain Conan's fingerprints and match them to Kudo Shinichi's fingerprints, when he held that mask and helmet in the Desperate Revival Festival, earlier.
He may not have noticed if it was not for the Panic Mode or Near Panic Mode that this number and song instills in Conan.

=== Computer skills ===
Conan has some programming skills, for being able to create Mouri Detective Agency's website. He doesn't know about hacking, at least he is not able to crack Black Organization's encrypted data.

=== Kaitou Kid radar ===
Conan occasionally seems to be able to sense if [[Kaitou Kid]] is present at a crime scene.<ref>Black Star</ref><ref>Luna Memoria File 964 page 10</ref> Unlike [[Shiho Miyano#"Black Organization sense"|Haibara's "Black Organization smell" sense]], Conan's Kid detector isn't very reliable.

=== Codebreaker and Codewriter ===
He is great at discovering codes, as well as deciphering them.

He frequently can decipher Kid's codes, among many others.
In the paper airplane episode, Subaru and Conan, both managed to decipher the airplane code at about the same time.
He was also able to decipher from E-V-I-T, that the next bomb was Teitan High School.<ref name="ep304"></ref>

He has even been shown to be able to write codes as well. When Conan, Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, were locked in a freezing delivery van, without their cell phones, and all they had on hand were some odds and ends, taxi receipt, and Taii, the cat. Conan managed to create a code out of the taxi receipt, which would look like trash to almost everyone, except the only person who would be able to decipher it in an instant, Amuro, who works at Cafe Poirot, and Taii makes his stop there every day at around this time. The code read, COR...P..SE," and the license plate number.<ref>[[Episode 722]]</ref>

He then placed the note in Taii's collar, who managed to escape. However, when Azusa was about to hand the note to Amuro, it blew away in the wind, only for Bourbon to find out the spelling from Azusa, and pieced together instantly, "Corpse." After Azusa stated that Conan knows the cat comes here every day, he took the rest of the day off work to track the note using his Wind App, taking into account the location of the building.

Conan then remembered the cake that Agasa ordered for a delivery at a special time, located it, and wrote a message to redirect the cake to the Kudo Residence, where Subaru is living, and redirected it, "In the care of Mr. Kudo," and even added a message in the customer's copy of the receipt so that Subaru would know that they are trapped in the delivery van.

Subaru sent a package, which was a cell phone to help the kids. However, they were found out by the culprits. Fortunately, Amuro came in time and disabling the culprits. Conan was able to use that phone to call the police.

=== Literature ===
Conan recognizes a phrase ("Kill me tomorrow--but let me live tonight.") from Shakespeare's Othello, which helps him realize that the victim was rehearsing a play, not having an argument with someone.<ref>[[Episode 975]]</ref>

== 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 named [[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.

However, when she introduced herself to him at night in front of the Kudo and Agasa's house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the Black Organization, even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ...

After the professor's case, he saw her real tears, when she was crying in his shirt, and since then their relationship has improved dramatically, and they even protect each other.

She is also helping him to be more cautious than his initial, "The Black Organization is involved. I am scared, but I will hunt them down, and try and get the antidote," without thinking of the consequences.

He is still determined to take down that organization, but he is now wiser than he was at in, whereas, she is more inclined to err on the side of caution, "Stop. Don't Go. Stay out of this," which will not take the organization down but may keep them safer.

In regards to the Black Organization, they both tend to withhold information to protect the other one.
It is difficult to know just how much she knows of the Organization's leaders and such, but she feels if she tells him anything until it comes up, he may carelessly act on it.

When Conan found out that the '7 Children' song's first lines' tone was the Boss's e-mail address, his initial thought was to have Takagi investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.
The e-mail address is Pandora's box that should never be opened.

In return, Conan protects her a lot in regards to the organization: saving her life, withholding risky information, and coming up with plans to save her life, when she has been found out and trying to hide her from them.

=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] Conan and Haibara cross paths with them at a hotel party while trying to prevent someone from dying at the hands of the organization. While there, Haibara is kidnapped by one of the members of the organization, [[Pisco]]. Conan manages to save Haibara and also learn about [[Anokata]]

=== 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 to Shinichi several times, but never permanently.
==== East versus West Detective ====
First, he temporarily 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|Prototype antidote}}
Haibara invented an [[Prototype antidote|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 herself as Conan and appears in front of Ran with Shinichi 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 a six-year-old they saw. In a phone booth, Conan takes the pill originally meant for his return trip to Tokyo 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>

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Conan.jpg|thumb|200px|Ran holding Conan.]]
{{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 well-being. 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 a 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 subconsciously 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}}

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.]]
[[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 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. Sometimes, Kogoro will also grab Conan by the jacket, leave him outside, or knock him on the head if he is too nosy when involved in a case. However, their relationship is intimate and Kogoro takes care of Conan just like a member of the house. At times when Conan is in danger or his life is in peril, Kogoro is seen to be visibly distressed, focused only on getting Conan back. In one episode where Conan was kidnapped, put into a car, and the car was in the process of being crushed, Kogoro was even in tears at Conan's apparent death but then rejoiced tearfully when he was shown to be unharmed.
Conan in return does everything in his power to protect Kogoro from getting into trouble with the Black Organization, saving his life multiple times whenever Kogoro unknowingly gets involved with them.
They are usually seen going to cases together (probably because Conan sneaks along with Kogoro, inserts himself into the case, or simply annoys Kogoro enough to bring him) and sometimes they'll follow Ran whenever they think she might be off to see a boy or "that detective brat" as Kogoro refers to Shinichi.
{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
[[File:783-2.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko nearly calls Conan "Shinichi" in public.]]
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 to show Conan how dangerous his goals are. However, after seeing that their son is determined to dive into the matter, they decide to follow his wish and even helps him out with disguises and plans.

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 period, 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.

Yukiko helped him out once to keep his secret identity from being exposed to Ran by creating an alibi for him. Yukiko once nearly called Conan "Shinichi" in public but Conan was able to cover it by creating a distraction.
{{clearright}}

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[image:Agasa and Conan investigating.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan investigates with Agasa.]]
Conan treats [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] as a member of his own family, as an uncle. Because 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 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}}

==== "Shinichi Kudo" ====
[[File:EP398 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Shinichi.]]
They never meet each other for obvious reasons: Conan is Shinichi's secret identity. However, since Conan tries to act like a child, he often thinks of Shinichi as a separate character (in one episode, when Ran claims to go on a date with Shinichi, Conan bids goodbye, oblivious for a while that he is Shinichi). Judging from his completely made-up speech, Conan talks to Shinichi frequently by phone and learns a lot of skills and knowledge from him, and Conan admires and loves Shinichi. In turn, Shinichi is willing to satiate Conan's curiosity, but at one point he gets annoyed for Conan's inquisitiveness.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo beats 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. Despite his teasing, Conan/Shinichi genuinely thinks Kazuha and Heiji would make a great couple.
{{clearright}}

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
She frequently talks to him like a brat and primary school kid, and he thinks of her as annoying.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Masumi Sera is like an older sister figure to Conan. She knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. She is a mystery but is revealed to be the sister of Shuichi Akai and Shukichi Haneda. Conan takes Sera to be like a fellow detective, similar to how he treats Heiji and Saguru. Sera in return is very protective of him and also seems to have a crush on him, calling him a "wizard"; because when they first met 10 years ago, Shinichi/Conan was able to make her brother Shuichi laugh when she couldn't.

==== Eisuke Hondou ====
Eisuke discovered that Conan is the real Sleeping Kogoro before they even first met. Conan found him suspicious due to his resemblance to Rena Mizunashi. Eisuke was quick to notice that Conan's behavior towards Ran was similar to that of a protective boyfriend and decided to monitor him. Eventually, Conan found that he is the younger brother of Rena who is a member of the CIA infiltrating the organization, the relationship between the two seems to have improved somehow after Conan reveals his identity to Eisuke without hesitating to refuse his offer to take Ran with him in America. At that moment, Eisuke amicably confesses to Conan that he was aware from the beginning that he was sleeping Kogoro and Shinichi Kudo. He asked Conan to take care of Ran and the two leave on good terms.

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
Shukichi seems to have noticed Conan's intelligence and trusted his deductions the first time they met. Shinichi has met Shukichi in the past as a child, so Shukichi might recognize him as Conan because of his memorization skills, and also due to Shukichi calling Conan a Wizard, the same nickname that Masumi attributed to Shinichi when they met 10 years ago.

[[File:conan scary face.png|thumb|left|200px|Conan's scary face when he's intending to know Haibara's secret song.]]
==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}
Both are de-aged by APTX4869 and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes [[Ai Haibara]] and Conan close confidants and more empathetic with each other than most other characters. They share an interesting relationship. They believe and rely on each other. 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.

However, when she introduced herself to him at night in front of the [[Kudo]] and [[Agasa|Agasa's]] house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the [[Black Organization]], even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ...

After the professor's case, he saw her real tears, when she was crying in his shirt, and since then their relationship has improved dramatically, and they even protect each other.

She is also helping him to be more cautious than his initial, "The Black Organization is involved. I am scared, but I will hunt them down, and try and get the antidote," without thinking of the consequences.

He is still determined to take down that organization, but he is now wiser than he was at in, whereas, she is more inclined to err on the side of caution, "Stop. Don't Go. Stay out of this," which will not take the organization down but may keep them safer.

In regards to the Black Organization, they both tend to withhold information to protect the other one.
It is difficult to know just how much she knows of the Organization's leaders and such, but she feels if she tells him anything until it comes up, he may carelessly act on it.

When Conan found out that [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children]] was the [[Boss]]'s e-mail address, his initial thought was to have [[Takagi]] investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.
The e-mail address is Pandora's box that should never be opened.

In return, Conan protects her a lot in regards to the organization: saving her life, withholding risky information, and coming up with plans to save her life, when she has been found out and trying to hide her from them.

==== Ayumi Yoshida ====
[[File:759-3.png|thumb|200px|Sonoko is teasing Conan about Ayumi.]]
{{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 has a very open crush for Conan as seen in instances when she gave him kisses on his cheek. However, she seems to not be aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of Conan because of this. Sonoko once mentioned that she thought Conan likes Ayumi to which shocked Conan and made him internally admit his love for Ran.

==== 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 vast 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.
In a case, where Genta's father was a suspect, Conan decided to solve the case without telling the other, because he didn't want Genta to worry about his father being a suspect for murder.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Police ====
[[File:Megure and Conan Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megure waffles between treating Conan like a child and a detective]]
Except for 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. Even [[Sato]] also treats him more like a detective.

Even when Takagi is hesitant to do what Conan asks of him, as soon as Sato hears Conan's name, she immediately will take action or give him information sometimes.

After [[Hyoue Kuroda]] became the superintendent of the Tokyo Prefecture, he has told Takagi and [[Megure]] to do what Conan asks of them in the [[The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case|Actress Blogger Case]].

He even periodically refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" in front of the other police officers, such as Nagano Police Prefecture Officers, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and Inspector [[Yuminaga]], as well as Bourbon, who he instructed to answer all of Conan's questions when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case of [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]].

==== Wataru Takagi ====
Wataru Takagi is the only police officer who has come the closest to finding out about [[Conan]]'s identity.

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

In [[The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages]], while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime. Takagi asked Conan about his real identity to which Conan answered that he would in the afterlife.

He also is aware of Conan's sharp intelligence and takes him seriously to take him for questioning the suspects. He trusts Conan so much that he would take him seriously.

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

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

==== Miwako Sato ====
[[File:EP424 5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Miwako and Conan during a case Investigation]]

She had developed a deep trust in Conan and his intelligence from her real first time investigating with him, and seeing him in action in the case of [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]].

Even when Takagi is hesitant to do as Conan says, unquestioningly, she will immediately and unhesitantly do as he says, almost all of the time, since she first met him.

==== Kansuke Yamato ====
Kansuke is one of the few police officers, who Conan can talk like an adult in front of.

In [[A Dangerous Party of Two]], he even told [[Yui Uehara|Yui]] Uehara that he suspects Conan of being "the one leading everything," in regards to [[Kogoro|Kogoro's]] cases, and that is after only after they met up in one case so far.

In fact, in that car ride, they were giving [[Agasa]] and [[Haibara]] a lift back to Tokyo, but he kept taking in a Nagano dialect, using phrases that terrified Haibara, such as "Half-Kill" and "Over-Kill, which dealt with a kind of Mochi, and not what Agasa and Haibara were thinking of."

The reason why he and Yui were heading to Tokyo was to enlist Kogoro's help with the Red Wall Case, which Yui told Conan that it was his help they were wanting.

==== Hyoue Kuroda ====
[[Kuroda]] is aware of how good Conan is as a detective, calling him " Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", he also trusts his deductions and has already ordered the Tokyo police to follow Conan's Instructions.

On the other hand, Conan is suspicious of Kuroda because he almost matches [[Rum]]'s description, he also became shocked that Kuroda became the Superintendent of Tokyo Police in [[Matsumoto]]'s place.

In [[Kawanakajima Murder Case]], which was his first appearance, he already knew that Conan was 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro,' and stated an entire dialogue stating his knowledge of Edogawa Conan in front of the Nagano Police Officers present, in his first speech to Conan.

In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent|Mystery of the Burning Tent]], He refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and [[Inspector Yuminaga]].

In [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]], he also instructed Amuro to answer all of Conan's questions, when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case as well.

==== Rei Furuya ====
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] (Aliases as Tooru Amuro) has attached himself to the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] as [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person has shown up" when he learns Rei will be joining Kogoro on cases. However, after he finds out [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Amuro's membership in the Black Organization]], though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. This was made even worse when Rei caught him attempting to tranquilize Kogoro, but due to Rei's attentiveness, he was unable to and had to give hints to Kogoro instead. Although Amuro may not have seen the trick, he became convinced that Conan was the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro, and began investigating Conan, which only made Conan more nervous of him. Their relationship later seemed to improve in [[The Scarlet Return]] when Conan learns that Rei is an undercover operative from the Japanese Secret Police when the two exchange smiles in Café Poirot. Conan even used his Voice Changing Bow Tie in front of Rei in [[The Heartfelt Strap]].

When Shinichi Kudo is exposed on the media due to [[The Scarlet School Trip|Kyoto Field Trip]], he receives an email from [[Rum]], ordering him to gather information about Shinichi. After he helped to solve the [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case|Bunny Girls Case]], Amuro broke into the Kudo home, so that he can find out information about [[Kudo Shinichi]]. He had the altercation with an [[Akai Shuichi|unmasked Akai]], and both of [[Yusaku Kudo|Shinichi's]] [[Yukiko Kudo|parents]] turned on the light, so that the four of them can have a meeting. Currently, it is unknown what was discussed in that meeting, other than Conan planned it.

It seemed to become strained again in the movie: [[Zero the Enforcer]], however that is due to Amuro had his subordinate, [[Yuya Kazami]] of the [[Public Security Bureau|Japanese Secret Police- Public Security Bureau]], plant phony incriminating evidence against Kogoro Mouri for a bombing incident. However, it turns out that the framing was to use Conan as a Collaborator and to rely on his strength so that Conan can do what he was unable to do for his investigation. This way, he was able to use Conan as a Collaborator and to rely on his strength.

=== 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.

==== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ====
[[File:The Scarlet Return-Shuichi and Conan.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Shuichi and Conan ([[The Scarlet Return|Ep. 782]])]]
[[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] has been shown to respect Conan's detective skills. Together they hatched a plan to send Hidemi Hondou back into the organization and fake Akai's death. He has discovered that Conan and Shinichi are the same by spying on him in a [[Volume 77#File 814 - Conan-kun, Right?|recent plot line]]. Conan once says to Shuichi, "I'm glad you're an ally."

==== 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.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin and Vodka ====
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's interfering with their operations, Gin is 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.

In [[Reunion with the Black Organization|Reunion of the Black Organization]], Gin had to shoot himself in the arm to stay awake, after he was shot with Conan's tranquilizer dart.
He also found Conan's bug and transmitter in his car, however, due to a strand of [[Haibara Ai|Haibara]]'s hair, he is convinced it was [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], who planted them.

In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], Gin told Vodka "You have to be always on guard. It seems Someone is investigating about us, a Detective clever as a Fox," without being aware that it happens to be a 7-year-old little child.

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]], he found Conan's bug and transmitter on [[Kir]]'s shoe and immediately planned to exterminate [[Kogoro Mouri]], who he was convinced left the bug. When Conan kicked a soccer ball into the Detective Agency window, Gin decided to add another victim, the little kid. Thankfully, [[Akai]] made him think the bug and transmitter were planted by the FBI, which saved them both.

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] seems to have a great personal interest in Conan, referring to him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet' and her "Cool Guy."

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 can bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

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

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

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

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

She shot herself in the leg and had to hobble some distance away from the car, so that he would remain out of sight, and nowhere around her when Gin came to pick her up.

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

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to Gin, she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," to protect Conan.

=== 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 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 a 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.

[[File:704 20.png|thumb|200px|Kaitou Kid disguised as [[Shiho]] as requested from Conan]]

Conan does not buy into 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.

==== [[Mary Sera]] ====
Conan has been trying to discover the truth about [[Mary]] since the day he first saw her in a picture with Masumi Sera. In "The detective boys in the grove" case, he noticed Ai's uncanny resemblance to Mary. Then, he finds out that the mysterious girl is the mother of Masumi Sera, Shukichi Haneda, and Shuichi Akai, and the wife of Tsutomu Akai, now somehow shrunken. On the other hand, Mary remains skeptical of Conan telling her daughter to be aware of him as he isn't the same boy they met 10 years ago.

==== [[Kanenori Wakita]] ====
In his [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|introductory case]], Conan noticed that he had a medical patch on his left eye, although Wakita claims it is only temporary. He chose not to see the messy left eye, along with Kogoro and Ran.

In the [[Search for Maria-chan!]], while Conan is hiding at Agasa's due to the uproar or his appearance as Kudo Shinichi on a case, during his Kyoto Field Trip, he noticed that Wakita knocked on Agasa's door, and asked about all of the press stationed next door outside of the Kudo gate, while he claimed to be making a delivery to someone in the neighborhood.

(He could have just asked the person that his delivery was for, but no. Let's ask the Kudos' [[Agasa Hiroshi|next door neighbor]]. Plus it is highly unlikely that [[Subaru]], the supposedly DEAD FBI agent, [[Akai]], who is residing in the [[Kudo Shinichi|Kudo]] house, which is the house to the supposedly dead teenage detective, would ever order for Delivery. Take-out, maybe, but not Delivery.)

== 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 chapters 812-814, [[Subaru Okiya]] ([[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise,) confirms that Conan is Shinichi. [[Masumi Sera]] also knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo before they even first met. It is also hinted that [[Mary]] knows about Conan's true identity, telling her daughter Masumi to be wary of him.

In the 13th movie, the Black Organization member [[Irish]] discovers that Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

The 3rd, 8th, 14th, 19th, and 23rd movies also demonstrate that [[Kaitou Kid]] knows Conan's identity and acts to protect it. Though it was once unconfirmed if he knew in the manga, it was recently confirmed in the Fairy Lips case, where Kid thinks that there are "two high school detectives" on the scene, referring to Heiji, and Conan, the only other high school detective there. It is unknown how he came to figure this out.

== People who know that Conan is behind the "Sleeping Kogoro" ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro}}
There is even a varied list of those who know that Conan is the puppeteer behind the "Sleeping Kogoro."

== 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.

== 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 the 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 ==
[[Image: EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]
* 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>
* 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 grade-schoolers. The expression was even [[The Sullied Masked Hero|said by Kogoro]] out of irritation at Conan (right before Conan tranquillized him). Conan's habit of acting juvenile to disguise his real abilities also [[Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun|draws the ire]] of the Detective Boys.
* Conan/Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share the same blood type as mentioned in episode 189.
* In [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Akako's Delivery Service|Akako's Delivery Service]], [[Saguru Hakuba]] acquires a strand of [[Kaitou Kid]]'s hair and runs a genetic scan on it, determining that Kid is a fifteen-to-seventeen-year-old male with a higher-than-average IQ. He then runs this information against a database of Tokyo teenagers and comes up with a list of possible Kaitou Kids, at the top of which was [[Kaito Kuroba]]'s name. However, it's interesting to wonder whether Shinichi, another sixteen-year-old Tokyo resident with a similar build and above-average intelligence, made Saguru's list, but the search included only teenagers with blood type B, and it has never actually been stated what Shinichi's is (although [[Kogoro Mouri]] mentions that Conan's blood type is rare<ref>Episode 189</ref>). Type B is not a common blood type<ref>See population breakdown by country here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group_system#ABO_and_Rh_distribution_by_country</ref>, so it is possible that this is Shinichi's type.
* Conan/Shinchi's favourite drink is iced coffee as shown in episode 814, 919, etc. Shinichi's favourite drink is shown in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]] when Daisuke says that he isn't the only one who drinks iced coffee throughout the year. The lemon pie does not count as Shinichi's favourite during [[The Memories of First Love Case]] because the woman Asami Uchida, whose first love was Shinichi, told this to Ran and her speciality in the past was baking that same lemon pie that she finally perfected so Shinichi will tell her that the pie was delicious. Unless Gosho Aoyama said otherwise, the lemon pie may not be Shinichi's favourite and it was only brought up during that case alone.
* Whenever dealing with a particularly difficult case, Shinichi/Conan juggles a soccer ball to think better. In scenes where he doesn't have one, he often holds his chin with his thumb and forefinger.
* Conan/Shinichi doesn't know that ironically, due to all his secret-keeping from Ran, he's potentially locked himself out of learning about Ran's encounter(s) with the Black Organization, because she has no reason to tell 'Conan' about them. Shinichi/Conan has no idea that Ran has encountered Vermouth and saved Haibara from her, even 500+ chapters after it occurred. The fact that Haibara herself is invested in keeping Ran out of anything to do with the Black Organization only adds to this, as she deliberately lied to Conan/Shinichi about who saved her that night. Ran not knowing Conan's identity also prevents them from confiding in each other or pooling together the information they might have in other areas and thus can extend the time it takes for important realizations to come to light.
* In file 1045, it is revealed that Conan and Yumi have each other's phone numbers.
* In file 900, it is revealed that Conan and Miwako Sato have each other's phone numbers.
* According to Gosho in Super Digest Book 90+ that from time to time, Conan wears a jumper with a "K" written on which stands for "Karl Helmutt", a Japanese clothing brand.
* No matter where Conan goes, he can't go anywhere without stumbling upon a murder or some other crime. Lampshaded after a while by whichever of the police officers happens to be on duty in that area and some of the characters:
:* Megure in particular begins to wonder if Kogoro is the Angel of Death, later on, more accurately shifting his joking suspicions towards Conan himself as seen in Episode 549.
:* During The Final Screening Murder Case (manga chapter 222/anime episode 138) where the Detective Boys are watching movies in a theatre and Ai tells Conan he should relax and enjoy a "child's vacation." When someone is killed at the back of the theatre, Ai remarks, "It seems you never have time for a vacation."
:* In episode 141, Heiji says about Conan, "Every time I see that guy a case occurs," ... about thirty seconds before a scream is heard and a body discovered.
:* In file 1088 Heiji said that the level of his Grim Reaper that gets him involved in cases is not high as Conan’s.
:* And during The Mystery in the Netcase (File 311-313/episodes 246-247) where the Detective Boys and Ran and Sonoko independently wind up at the same beach, Sonoko says of Conan, "The reason we didn't bring him was that there are always cases when he's around!"
:** Later in the same episode, Haibara learns where Conan and the others are after they're late returning to their hotel (having discovered a murder while she was not present) by asking the hotel staff if there is a murder being investigated nearby.
:* At the beginning of the first file of the paper aeroplane case, Conan notices how he seems to be running into cases all the time. This is the first time he's ever noticed, and this is over 600 chapters into the manga.
:* Except that in the very first chapter of the whole manga, he tells Ran that murders "happen all the time", which implies that encountering a lot of murders is normal to him. The rate of cases must have ramped up even further for him to notice that something is odd.
:* In Zero Tea Time File 52 Amuro thought about Conan when he thought that something bad happens wherever you go like the Grim Reaper when Sakurako Yonehara talked about the grim reaper when she said she feels like she cursed because there are cases and police investigations happen at the places she works as a housekeeper.
* In episode 681, it's revealed Conan has Detective Chiba's phone number.
* According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book he likes curry the most, he and his dad like Yukiko's paella the most.
* According to [[Gosho Aoyama]], Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara are in no way related to each other.<ref>[https://conannews.org/fragerunde-mit-gosho-aoyama-day2023/49323/ ''Fragerunde mit Gosho Aoyama: DAY2023.''] ''ConanNews.org'' (in German). 16 February 2023. Retrieved 16 February 2023.</ref>

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

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

== Personality ==
[[File:vlcsnap-2013-10-10-17h54m48s62.png|thumb|left|200px|Kaito rejects Akako because of her arrogance.]]
According to Saguru's analysis during his search for Kaitou Kid's identity, Kaito is 174 cm (5' 8.5") tall, weighs 58 kg (128 lbs), has an IQ of 400, and is blood type 'B'.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=86-87}}</ref> Kaito as his normal self seems to be rather popular in school although he tends to get in trouble with the ladies, particularly Aoko, for flipping up their skirts<ref>Magic Kaito 1412 episode 1</ref> or peeking on them in the locker room<ref>Magic Kaito 1412 episode 7</ref>. He is a compulsive trickster who loves to demonstrate his magic tricks and share them with others and hates to see people upset. Although he hasn't demonstrated it while in full costume, Kaito has an extreme fear of fish (ichthyophobia) to the point where he freaks out upon seeing Aoko wear fish-print underwear one day.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Hustler vs. Magician |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=158 }}</ref> In OVA 10, while escaping Trap Island, a fish flops into his escape rowboat and he panics.<ref>OVA 10: Kid in Trap Island</ref> However, in the manga, he is not afraid of a shark when it is asleep.

== Skills ==
=== Intelligence ===
Kaito is a highly intelligent young man. Repeatedly, he has shown a remarkable talent for methodically planning out his entire scheme and is likewise able to improvise when things fall apart. He is a very good researcher, as when preparing to become someone else, he is very thorough. He inherits photographic memory from his late father, able to seamlessly remember details about people or things that he saw. He also has a talent for seeing through deception, as he became one of the first people to realize that Conan Edogawa was not a normal child. He has repeatedly been shown to be a master manipulator. Able to see through a person's general pattern of thinking, he can give various misdirections to trick people into moving as he desires.

=== Disguise ===
Arguably, Kaito's most remarkable trait is his prowess for disguise. With little time and preparation, he can perfectly take on the likeness of virtually anyone. He can improvise to make a believable impersonation, even those that are shorter than him. More than just mimicking their frame and face, Kaito excels in perfectly imitating their voice, including accent and dialect. Also thorough is his performance, that he can effectively act like the person, copying their mannerisms, demeanor, speech patterns, ideology, and so on. Ultimately, he can fool even the people closest to his chosen imitation for hours without failing in the deception.

=== Stage magic ===
Like his father, Kaito is an accomplished magician, excelling in sleight-of-hand various other forms of misdirection. Commonly using smokescreens to obscure him from others' sight, Kaito leaves little time for people to figure his next move. He is also a proficient escapist, able to seamlessly slip out of handcuffs. Likewise, he is remarkable in stealth, able to move about unnoticed and seemingly disappear from sight.

=== Athletic ability ===
Kaito is highly athletic. He excels in various sports such as skiing, scootering, rollerblading, and hang-gliding. In his various schemes, he is shown to be very agile and perform various acrobatics.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Let Go of Him |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref> Although, (much to Aoko's amusement) cannot ice skate<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=The Great Detective Appears!! |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=36 }}</ref> or play billiards.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Hustler vs. Magician |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref> He is a remarkable shot with his gun, and has shown himself to be ambidextrous.

=== Other skills ===
He is a talented artist, able to perfectly recreate marks he has seen once. He is also capable of driving a car and a motorcycle. He is a capable hacker, plus an exceptional lockpicker and safecracker.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
[[Image:vlcsnap-2013-09-21-03h04m55s93.png|thumb|right|200px|Kaito and Aoko.]]
==== Aoko Nakamori ====
{{main|Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori}}
Kaito and [[Aoko Nakamori]] have been best friends since they were little and first met at the clock tower.<ref>[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|"Episode 219: The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid"]]</ref> They are portrayed as a similar pairing to [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Ran Mouri]] (including how the characters are drawn) and [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Kazuha Toyama]], except much sillier. Kaito often teases Aoko by flipping her skirt. However, it has been seen that Kaito is quite protective of Aoko and doesn't appear to want her to go on a date with [[Saguru Hakuba]]. Aoko was somewhat suspicious that Kaito was Kaitou Kid, and in order to prove his innocence, she brought him along to a movie when a heist had been scheduled. She handcuffed him to the seat, but Kaito managed to escape and pull off the heist, thus veering Aoko's suspicions away from him. The two have feelings for one each other, but neither has admitted it as of yet.

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

==== Akako Koizumi ====
[[File:Displeased with Akako.png|thumb|right|200px|Kaito wishes he was with Aoko instead.]]
Since [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]]'s first appearance in Volume 1, she's attempted to get Kaito to fall head over heels for her using whatever means necessary, including using a voodoo doll and hurting him in the process. Akako's obsession with Kaito comes from Kaitou Kid, whom she realizes is Kaito, being the only man on Earth able to resist her. Despite Akako injuring Kaito during their first confrontation, Kaito as Kid behaves like a complete gentleman and encourages Akako to be herself in order to get someone to like her instead of forcing them through witchcraft.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=1 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-05-15 |isbn=4-09-122081-9 |chapter=The Scarlet Temptress |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 180}}</ref> Akako grows to have great concern for Kaito as evidenced by her warning Kaito<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122083-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 93-95}}</ref> against going to a heist and later assisting Kaitou Kid to escape safely from the heist that she had foreseen him being captured at.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122083-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 100-103}}</ref> In Volume 2, Akako openly states she likes Kaito in front of Aoko.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Let Go of Him |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 11}}</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Saguru Hakuba ====
[[File:2013 7 6 19 58 14.png|thumb|right|200px|Kaito Kuroba and Saguru Hakuba]]
The relationship between [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]] and Kaito is a rather tense one; since Saguru convinced himself early on that Kaito was instead Kid, and during the first few volumes he's constantly throwing out offhand comments that show his suspicion. However, later on in the manga, we have a small scene where Saguru calls Kaito from Paris in order to give him some information on 'Chat Noir', a dangerous, fellow gem thief trying to outshine Kid.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=4 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Golden Eye Part 1 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 18}}</ref> Though Kaito continues to vehemently deny being Kid, Saguru gives him the information anyways, ending the conversation with, "Do your best at least. I don't want to see you lose to anyone before I capture you myself". Whether or not that was his actual motive, or if he was merely concerned for Kaito's well being, is unknown.

=== Others ===
==== Conan Edogawa ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba}}
[[File:名侦探柯南-515-DVD003348.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
In the manga, Kid and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] are rivals. Ever since Kaito met Conan, Kaito always seems to be anticipating Conan's appearance at his heists. Conan makes the heists more interesting for Kaito, while Conan views Kaito's heists as entertainment.

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

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

In the movies, Kid becomes aware that Conan is Shinichi after he once overheard Conan talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] and displaying too much criminal knowledge for a 7-year-old.<ref>Movie 03: ''[[The Last Wizard of the Century]]''</ref> As a result, he ends up using Shinichi's identity to either further his own goals and challenge Conan at the same time, or to pay back a favor Conan has done him. Since movies cannot be considered [[canon]], it was once unclear whether Kid knows Conan is Shinichi in the official manga. However, since "Kaitou Kid and the Trick Box" case, it is clear that Kid does not know Conan's true identity because he called him "Conan-kun" and not "Shinichi" while they were alone.<ref>Anime Episode 888: ''[[Kaitou Kid and the Trick Box]] (Part 2)''</ref> There are also some speculations on Conan figuring out that Kid isn't just stealing randomly. At the end of the OVA 4: Conan, Kid, and the Crystal Mother, Conan had turned with a serious face when he remembered a phrase that Kid had said, "Next time, I'll help myself to the Jewel of Destiny." In movie 14, Conan asked for Kid to disguise himself as him for a while.

In chapter 1018 of the manga Kid is shown thinking "What's this? Two high school detectives..." while the only high school detectives that appeared, in that case, were Heiji and Conan, making it very likely that Kid is aware of Conan's identity but nothing has been officially stated or confirmed.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[Ran]] has always been suspicious of Kaito Kid, assuming that Kaito is [[Kudo Shinichi]] in disguise, despite Kaito Kid disguised Shinichi on many occasions. Therefore, Kaito Kid tricked Ran by seducing her with his romantic charms to believe that he is Shinichi. However, Ran already knows that Kaito Kid is not Shinichi. In Detective Conan's [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]], Kaito Kid pretends to be Shinichi to convince Ran not to turn him in. At the end of the film, Ran and Kid almost kiss, until she told him, "you are not Shinichi." Conan shows up after seeing what Kaito did to Ran and immediately got jealous. Conan asked Ran, "How do you know that Kaito Kid is not Shinichi?" Ran responded that Kaito Kid "did something that Shinichi does not do." That is when Kaito Kid has his hands on her butt.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
Kaito and [[Heiji Hattori]] have never canonically met, although Heiji faced up against the Kid in Movie 3, and interacted with a disguised Kaito during Movie 10. They were also involved in the same cases in OVA 6 and Movie 14, but never directly interacted.
Also in Movie 10, there is a scene that we see Saguru, but at the end, it turns out that was Kaito so he has met Heiji as Saguru. But Heiji didn't seem to notice it.

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

{{cquote|That's not it, Aoko. It's not like I want to make fun of the inspector nor do I enjoy stealing. I just want to find the truth, the culprits who murdered my father eight years ago and take revenge for him. In order to do that, I need to become Kaitou Kid and I cannot afford to give up!}}

== Trivia ==
[[image:Kaito Lupin.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kaito Lupin]]
* A prototype version of Kaito appears in Aoyama's "{{nihongo|Nonchalant Lupin|さりげなくルパン|Sarigenaku Rupan}}" short story. In this version, Kaito is named {{nihongo|Kaito Lupin|流犯快斗|Rupan Kaito}}.
* The name 'Kuroba' is a transliteration of 'clover.' A four-leaf clover also appears on the tag of Kid's monocle. Additionally, in the manga's second chapter Kaito disguises himself as an old man named Count Clover.
* Gosho Aoyama gave Kaito the same height and weight measurements that he had in 1990<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito Treasured Edition |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=2011-11-21 |isbn=978-4-09-941727-7 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=197 "怪盗キッドの身長１７４ｃｍ、体重５８ｋｇってーのは、もちろんこの当時のオレの身長と体重！"}}</ref>, as well as his own blood type.
* Kaito and Gosho Aoyama also have the same birthday, June 21.<ref name= birthday/>
* Gosho Aoyama stated in the comments of the Magic Kaito chapters in the Treasured Edition releases of the manga, that he considers Kaito's ice cream line from Magic Kaito Chapter 4 to be the most embarrassing line of dialogue he has ever written.
* In both the Japanese and English dub, Kaito shares the same voice actor as that of Shinichi Kudo. Kaito and Shinichi already resemble each other so closely that in the Black Star case, Ran sees Kaito in the street and mistakes him for Shinichi. In Movie 8 and again in Movie 19, Kaito disguises himself as Shinichi and without the use of a mask succeeds in completely fooling everyone except for Ran.
* In Spanish, he doesn't share his voice with Shinichi, but with Hattori. However, this isn't much of a problem since he can perfectly mimic voices.
* Although Kaito's and Shinichi's teenaged-selves share the same voice actor, Kappei Yamaguchi, two different voice actors portray them as children: young Kaito is still voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, while Conan and young Shinichi are voiced by [[Minami Takayama]].
* His favorite class is physical education. For example, he practices kendo and in sword fights, he even manages to stand up to [[Yaiba Kurogane]].
