'''{{nihongo|Heiji Hattori|服部平次|Hattori Heiji}}''', also known as '''Harley Hartwell''' in the Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime series ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Heiji is the son of [[Heizo Hattori]], chief of the Osaka Police Department, and his wife [[Shizuka Hattori]]. Heiji wants to become a detective, and his father is very supportive of this, helping him solve tough cases. However, his father has given him tough love, though mostly for the sole purpose of having Heiji get him to bring a suspect out. Heiji 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=StabbetWallet>Manga Volume 19: Files 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref>

In Heiji's first appearance, he went to [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro's]] detective agency, looking specifically for [[Shinichi Kudo]]. He had been publicly declared the Great Detective of the West, while Kudo was the Great Detective of the East, so he tried finding him to see who would win in a showdown of wits. However, after Conan temporarily turned back into Shinichi, Heiji was soundly defeated in the case, but gained a lot of respect for Kudo. In his second appearance, Conan knocked him out to solve the case, but during the deduction, Heiji awakened prematurely and discovered Conan's secret. Ever since that revelation and after learning the truth about it, Heiji has been helping Conan try to hide his secret identity, though he occasionally slips up by calling him "Shinichi" or "Kudo" in front of [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].

== Personality ==
Even while solving a case, Heiji 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's also known to be extremely protective of those he values as close friends, and tries hard to keep them out of harm. There's several instances where he'll tell Kazuha to stay out of cases, simply because he's afraid of her getting hurt. Furthermore, he's pretty much always watching Shinichi's back, and does whatever he can to not only keep the boy safe, but to keep his identity under cover.

His friendship with Conan/Shinichi is a close one, although neither of them can resist adding a more competitive air to their relationship. But when a case gets hot, the two set aside this trifling and work effectively together.

== Relationships analysis ==
* Relationship with '''[[Kazuha Toyama]]'''
:Heiji's relationship with Kazuha Toyama is a very close one; they were childhood friends, and have stayed close even through the years. Their relationship gets mistaken for a romantic relationship by everyone, even though they claim that they don't have that sort of relationship or feelings for each other. But of course, this is not true, since he has shown that he is protective of her when she is with other guys and says that he will never let her get hurt no matter what. Now, Kazuha has the same feelings for him, as well as being protective and chasing of other women that might have a interest in him. Also, they have the same situation as Ran and Shinichi, being childhood friends that have romantic feelings for each other and has the same background as them. Heiji is a teenage detective and she is a 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 there so similar. Although they are constantly fighting, they both are very close friends. It is also shown in the seventh movie, ''[[Crossroads in the Ancient Capital]]'', that Kazuha is Heiji's first love, though he didn't know it was her at the time.

* Relationship with '''[[Shinichi Kudo]]'''
:Heiji acts rather brotherly towards Shinichi, even going so far as to pretend to be him on various occasions, so 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 can be a little bit worried for Shinichi when he gets into trouble and in a life or death situation. They are as close as real brothers, both being detective's and having 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, although when a case gets serious, they are both all business.

== Name origin ==
*Heiji's name comes from fictional Edo period police detective '''{{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Zenigata Heiji|Zenigata Heiji]]|銭形平次}}''' and famous samurai and ninja '''{{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Hattori Hanzō|Hattori Hanzou]]|服部半蔵}}'''.
