=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
** Katsuhiko’s heart literally stopped on Valentine's Day. Beside his dead body, a cigarette and a chocolate bar were found among his usual items.
** Before the tragedy, he was in his small party where they ate and drank. On Valentine’s day (because of the tradition), each girl gives a guy a bar of chocolate, to which the guy would consume preferentially.
** Conan noticed that even though her son died, Katsuhiko's mother is doing the dishes.
** Susumu ate chocolate which angered his mother , but she suddenly had a change of heart and gave him some cake despite Susumu's previous troubles with cavities.

* '''Conclusion'''
After putting Kogoro to sleep with the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], Conan, using the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]], revealed how Katsuhiko’s real killer was '''his mother'''.

Katsuhiko does not smoke with filters, that’s why Naomichi’s attempt to poison him through this, failed. Meanwhile, his mother knew his habits, and put poison in his coffee, knowing that he wouldn’t eat the antidote in the cake. The reason she had a change of heart when Susumu drank the coffee is because he drank the coffee with the poison, so she quickly gave him the antidote in the cake so he wouldn't die. She also framed Yoshimi by switching the chocolates she gave him with a half-eaten bar that Katsuhiko apparently ate. Though his mother immediately washed all the cups and switched the chocolates, it is pointed out that forensics could inspect the drainage to find the poison and the swapped chocolate is already visibly melting through the culprit's kimono. After Kaori exposes Katsuhiko's back story and his love for Yoshimi, she breaks down and confesses.

* '''Motive'''
When her husband’s business took a turn for the worse, Katsuhiko's mother had to think of the quickest way to acquire Katsuhiko’s estate, and save the house.

Katsuhiko is an orphan who was adopted by his only living relative when he was a kid. His foster mother knew he fell in love with Yoshimi since she closely resembled his deceased mother, so she framed her.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the English dub are:
:* Sonoko Suzuki - Serena Sebastian
:* Katsuhiko Minagawa - Keenan Morris
:* Toshihide Wakamatsu - Tommy Walker
:* Kaori Sekiya - Kari Simmons
:* Yoshimi Watanabe - Katie Watson
:* Naomichi - Norman
:* Mrs. Minagawa - Mrs. Morris
:* Susumu Minagawa - Sammy Morris

== Trivia ==
* This was the first episode with the actual "Sleeping Kogoro' Routine, since the [[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|first episode]] did not have the stun gun wrist-watch yet, although this is a filler episode.
* This is the first episode where someone died of poison, although this is a filler episode.
<spoiler>
* This is the first case where both a murder and an attempted murder are performed on the victim. Interesting to note that both culprits used poison as a modus operandi.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
** Conan remembers the Vodka lookalike saying "I can finally have a smoke". Conan realizes this must be because the transaction the men in black had with the person in the dining car cannot stand the smell of smoke. Therefore the person with the bomb must be in a non-smoking car of the train. According to Mitsuhiko there are eight non-smoking cars on the bullet train.
** The Gin lookalike made a remark about how the person with the bomb is probably "looking out at the last scenic view" they will ever see. Conan and the Detective Boys realize the person with the briefcase must be in one of the two-story Green Cars. Mitsuhiko explains only one of the three Green Cars is non-smoking.
** Conan notes that the man in glasses with the laptop is trading stocks and has a gold Rolex watch. Conan remarks the man must really be raking in money. The man in glasses shouts at Conan that he could not possibly go anywhere on the train due to the amount of work he has.
** The woman in the Green Car has a cell phone and remarks to Conan that since the sky is clear today "you can see Mt. Fuji" from her window. The woman claims to have not visited the dining car during the trip.
** The elderly man does not seem to hear Conan's question correctly, so Conan is unclear whether the man did or did not visit the dining car.
** Although the brutish man with gold rimmed glasses doesn't answer Conan's question outright, it's clear the man visited the dining car because he wipes his glasses with one of the dining car napkins.
** When the Vodka lookalike questions his partner about the bomb being timed, the Gin lookalike replies that although the bomb isn't on a timer, the bomb will definitely go off when the person with the briefcase unknowingly triggers the detonation button. Conan realizes this means the explosion will be set off by the passenger's "reaction to something".

* '''Conclusion'''
After ruling out the brutish man Conan knows went to the dining car, the briefcase was full of underwear, Conan realizes one of the passengers he spoke to said something strange.

The '''woman''' claims to have had a great view of Mt. Fuji earlier in the train ride, but it would be impossible to see Mt. Fuji from her window in the Green Car. She must have been in the dining car at the time and mistook her view from the dining car for the one back in her Green Car seat.

The woman lied about going to the dining car in order to cover up the transaction she had with the men in black.

Conan also realizes that the detonation button the Gin lookalike referred to is when the woman dials a specific telephone number on her cell phone.

The woman manages to dial the number on her cell phone at 3:10 PM, but thankfully Conan manages to use the Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes to kick the briefcase out of the train just before it exploded.

* '''Motive'''
The woman's motive for making a deal with the men in black was to gain "inside information on the trading market" in exchange for 100 million yen.

The men in black's motive for planting the bomb of course was to kill off the woman and cover their tracks while getting away with a hefty amount of money.</spoiler>

== Remastered version ==
A remastered version of this case was aired on December 3, 2016.

== Manga to anime changes ==
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Conan meets Gin and Vodka.]]
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* In the manga, the two men in black are in fact [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]]. It is here that Conan first learns of their codenames. The line about their [[The Boss|mastermind]] is omitted.
* Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko didn't appear in the manga version of the story. Thus, it's Ran who deposits the gum that Conan uses.
* The bullet train was stopped forty minutes after departed from Nagoya Station. The trip from Nagoya to Kyoto via bullet train takes about 40-50 minutes, then it was under the Kyoto police jurisdiction. However, the anime version improperly replaced them with [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and his men.
* The manga version ends with Conan reflecting on the knowledge he learned about the two men in black. Ran's questioning of his true identity doesn't occur here, but in [[The Coded Map of the City Case]], which follows the story in the manga rather than preceding it.

== Translation changes ==
=== Manga ===
* The [[Viz Media]] version of volume 4 has Gin and Vodka's codenames being revealed as Kaspar and Melkior. Though later Viz produced volumes later revert to their usual names, this prompted modification to the English manga version of [[Game Company Murder Case]].

== Trivia ==
* This is the first bombing case.
* This is also the first time that the [[Black Organization]] showed that they are willing to commit mass murder, such as blowing up everyone on the train just to kill one person.
* This is also the first episode to feature actual lenses in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan's]] glasses, since he [[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|pushed his Dad's lenses out of the frames]].
* This episode marks Canon Day 9 of [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi's]] life as Conan.
* This is the first episode to take place on board a train.
* Although the Black Organization was involved in the manga version of this episode, the anime version has [[Ueda]] & [[Shimoda]] take over [[Gin]] and [[Vodka|Vodka's]] role, and therefore cutting out the Black Organization involvement.
* This is the first episode that Conan is now able to fight a culprit due to his new [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]], since he was shrunk from Shinichi.

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* An entire portion of the story is left out of the anime where Ran takes Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko to [[Setting#Tokyo Tower/Tohto Tower|Tohto Tower]]. She recalls a time when she and Shinichi visited the tower and when he bought her a cold drink, which he put up to her cheek. Conan does the same thing, which prompts her to ask him about his true identity (as the manga version takes place after the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]). Conan responds by stating that he is [[Kamen Yaiba]]. The scene in question would later appear (ironically) at the begining of the fourth movie [[Captured in Her Eyes]] which Ran has a flashback too.
* In the manga, Genta envisions that the Italian gangsters will shoot him, and imagines himself lying in a pool of his own blood. The anime substitutes a less graphic and more stylized image, with a miniature Genta being riddled with colorful, cartoon-like gunshots.
* In the manga, the 4th sign in the paper is a bowtie instead of an umbrella in the anime. The word "ORO" and the fish sign is in different sides.

== Remastered version ==
On June 6, 2009, a remastered version of the case was aired.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first case of the [[Detective Boys]] and the first case of robbery.
* This episode marks Canon Day 8 of Shinichi's life as Conan.
* This episode marks the first treasure hunt that the Detective Boys go on.
* This episode includes the first code that the Detective Boys have to decipher.
* This is the first time that the Detective Boys managed to catch the culprits.

=== Situation ===
After visiting an exhibit on hidden treasures Conan and his friends find a piece of paper with symbols and the word "Oro" written on it. A treasure hunt ensues but does not discover much. Conan, initially not interested in the children's treasure hunt finally realizes that the paper is a treasure map after learning that "Oro" means gold in Italian. That night, Conan determines that the symbols refer to neon light signs on buildings.

=== Situation ===
[[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] realizes that the poison shrunk him, and after making it home, asks [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] for help. Agasa warns that to stay safely hidden from the men in black, Shinichi can tell no one else, even [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] - who coincidentally shows up, intending to check on Shinichi. Agasa convinces her to look after Shinichi, who tells her his name is [[Conan Edogawa]]. On the way to her house, Ran confides to Conan that she really likes Shinichi, but Conan's reply is interrupted by [[Kogoro Mouri|Ran's father]] rushing outside on the trail of a case. He brags that he's been hired to find a CEO's daughter, who was kidnapped by a "man in black". Conan sneaks along in case it is a lead, followed by Ran, who explains Conan's situation to Kogoro. Kogoro can't kick them out of a moving taxi, so simply orders them to stay out of the way.

According to the butler, Aso, CEO Tani's daughter Akiko was taken from the house's garden by a man in black, who escaped without alerting any of the guard dogs on the premises. The kidnapper demands that the CEO shut down his company for a while, as well as deliver a large ransom.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
Conan hints to Kogoro that it is strange that Jumbo the guarddog did not bark at the supposed man dressed in black kidnapping Akiko, since the kidnapper supposedly used the pine tree Jumbo was near to escape the household.
Aso seems surprised when Tani claims the kidnapper is asking for ransom money in addition to shutting down his company temporarily.
* During a phone call with the kidnapper Akiko manages to say she thinks she's in the storeroom of a school and sees a chimney outside the window.

==== Conclusion ====
Kogoro, thanks to hints from Conan, figures out that Akiko's kidnapping is a '''fake''' and that she should be in a nearby hotel. Unfortunately, Akiko was kidnapped for real after the fake kidnapping by a man demanding ransom money in return for Akiko's safety.

After searching nearby schools using Jumbo as transportation and a guide, Conan determines that what Akiko saw outside the school window wasn't a chimney at all, but rather the side of a large skyscraper. Conan then finds Akiko but is unable to take down the kidnapper due to his shrunken size. Thankfully, Jumbo summoned the others and Ran uses her karate on the kidnapper in the nick of time.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Attempted Murder
| image =
| location = School Storeroom
| victim = Akiko Tani, Conan Edogawa
| age = 10 years old, 7 years old
| suspects = "kidnapper"
| description = After the kidnapper got off the phone with Akiko's father, who was about to make the drop, he told her that he no longer has a use for her, and was about to kill her with a knife, when Conan and Jumbo showed up. However, he is a lot weaker in his 7 year old state, and he also cannot kick a ball hard enough to save them. The kidnapper had already scared Jumbo away, probably after hurting him, and was about to kill the children, when Ran showed up, and saved them with her karate moves, while Conan is having to come to terms that he cannot fight the culprits now, due to his weakened body.
}}

==== Motive ====
Akiko's motive for getting Aso to cooperate with her "kidnapping" was that she wanted to spend more time with her father who is always at work and doesn't play with her very much anymore.</spoiler>

== Episode Resolution: The New Status Quo ==
<spoiler>On the way home, Ran reminds Kogoro about Conan's situation and asks if he can stay. Kogoro thinks that Conan acted like a good luck charm with how well the case turned out, and enthusiastically consents. The next scene shows Conan in his new elementary school classroom, introducing himself, though he privately wishes that being stuck back in first grade could be just a bad dream.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The younger Shinichi is in a medical center at Tropical Land whereas in the anime he runs off after being awoken by the police.
* In the manga, Tani immediately puts the vacation plans with Akiko on hold, much to the latter's disappointment before he change his mind. The anime leaves this scene out.
* Rather than showing Conan being introduced to his new class (with Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta as students), the manga version of the story ends with Conan reflecting on how he is incapable of fighting the bad guys in his younger form.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Tani - Mr. Tanner
:* Akiko Tani - Michelle Tanner
* In the English Dub, Ran pointed out that Kogoro did not have a case, with him responding that he polished off a case (a case of beer), whereas in the Japanese Version, Ran states that his messy office is why [[Eri]] left him and why Kogoro hasn't had work with him responding that he's selective with his job. In the dub, Eri / Eva Kaden is not mentioned until the [[Coffee Shop Murder Case]].
* In the English Dub, Conan blushes during Ran's hug because he was that close to her, whereas in the Japanese Version he blushed because he felt her chest.

== Remastered version ==
On April 11, 2009, a remastered version of the case was aired.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first episode where the victim is kidnapped.
* [[Agasa]] told [[Ran]] that Conan's parents are in the hospital, and asked him to watch over him for awhile. He later told them to keep Conan longer, since his parents were "on a trip".
* This is the first episode where a culprit attempted to kill [[Conan]], after he was shrunk from [[Shinichi]]
* This is the first episode that Conan introduced himself to anyone as "Conan Edogawa, Detective."
* This is the first episode that Conan was unable to fight a culprit, due to his much weaker 7 year old body, in contrast to his 17 year old body.
* This is the first case, where there is a real and a fake kidnapping.
* This is the first case, where the victim was a little child, although she is not a murder victim.
* This is the episode that Conan pushed out the prescription lenses in [[Yusaku Kudo|his father's]] glasses, so that he can use them for his new persona as a disguise.

'''The Roller Coaster Murder Case''' is the pilot episode of the series, and aired on January 8, 1996 in Japan. It begins in the middle of a case where a murder was committed during a party at a private mansion. This opening scene introduces both [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]] for the very first time, as well as showcasing Shinichi's impressive deduction and soccer skills when he reveals the killer.

== Characters introduced ==
Most of the main characters are introduced throughout the episode. It is interesting to note the presence of [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], as their first manga appearance was not until [[Volume 2#Scary Building Case|volume 2]].

== Case 1: Crime at the Private Mansion ==
=== Situation ===
The episode starts in a mansion where a party has been interrupted by a murder: one of the guests, President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank, was found dead with a bullet in his heart. The police, led by [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], have been investigating the crime scene, but have no conclusive evidence as to who the killer is. However, [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] makes his grand entrance and claims that he has figured out the case.

{{InfoBox Crime

| suspects = Owner/Host, and guests
| description = President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank is found dead in a locked room with a bullet through his chest.

{{People|[[List of Non-Recurring Characters in Anime|Yamazaki]]|Yamazaki.jpg|

* Yatsubishi Bank president}}
{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* Shinichi states that the room Yamazaki was killed in was locked from the inside. The only possible entrance into the room was the window.
* The mansion owner claims that there is at least a 10 meter gap between the two windows that Shinichi states the killer used. Shinichi points out, however, that if the killer used the roof to get closer to the other window, this gap is shortened to a mere 2 meters. Therefore, it could easily be jumped across.
* Shinichi notes that there is an indentation on the balcony where the killer attached a rope with a piece of wood at the end, allowing the killer a way to get back across to the 3rd floor window, as it is impossible for the killer to have successfully landed on the 10 centimeter roof ledge coming back. By using a piece of wood rather than simply tying the rope to the balcony, the killer was able to remove evidence of his method of escape while on the other side of the building.
* The lack of footprints below the window implies that it was an inside job.
* Shinichi claims to have spoken with the killer's doctor.

==== Conclusion ====
Shinichi concludes that the murderer could only have been someone who knew the mansion very well and eventually points his finger at the '''landlord'''. The latter, being in a wheelchair, then starts to laugh, claiming that he's in no position to be able to commit such a crime. Shinichi then grabs a globe and throws it towards the owner who immediately jumps out of his chair to avoid it. The maid and guests are all in shock. Shinichi then says that he's been healed for a while now as reported by his doctor, which Megure confirms.

==== Motive ====
Although the episode does not clearly state the mansion owner's motive, it likely had something to do with the "under-the-table" financial dealings that the owner had with Yamazaki.</spoiler>

== Case 2: Roller Coaster Murder Case ==

=== Situation ===
[[Ran Mouri]] meets up with her friend Shinichi Kudo on their way to [[Setting#Teitan High School .28.E5.B8.9D.E4.B8.B9.E9.AB.98.E6.A0.A1.29|Teitan High School]]. After Shinichi explains to Ran why he quit the soccer team and tells her that he wants to become a detective like the fictional Sherlock Holmes, Ran reminds Shinichi of a promise he made with her: if Ran won the regional karate championship, Shinichi would go with her to the amusement park, [[Setting#Tropical Land .28.E3.83.88.E3.83.AD.E3.83.94.E3.82.AB.E3.83.AB.E3.83.A9.E3.83.B3.E3.83.89.29|Tropical Land]]. Shinichi had forgotten, however, and Ran tries to kick him as punishment.

After school, Shinichi fulfill his promise by going with Ran to Tropical Land. As they're in line for the Mystery Coaster, Shinichi demonstrates his deductive reasoning to Ran when he correctly deduces that a girl standing in line in front of them is a gymnast, since the wind accidentally raised her flowing skirt and, alongside her frilly panties, he could see some marks on her upper thighs that are typical of gym practitioners. Shinichi and Ran's date is cut short when a murder occurs while they're riding the roller coaster. Who is responsible for killing Kishida, and how did they do it?

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* Shinichi examines the tunnel area of the Mystery Coaster and finds a wire with some pearls still strung onto it and a hook at the end of the wire.
* The killer left a false piece of evidence, a bloodied knife, inside Aiko's purse with the intention of framing her. Shinichi explains that this is a fake piece of evidence, because it is impossible for a woman to have enough leverage and force to behead someone while on the ride.

==== Conclusion ====
Shinichi states the killer used an object like a purse or a backpack to escape the ride restraints and wrap a wire around the victim's head while in the darkness of the Mystery Coaster's tunnel. After tying the wire around the victim's head the killer tossed a hook attached to the other end onto the roller coaster's track, beheading the victim using the coaster's speed and movement. Shinichi concludes the murderer is '''Hitomi''', as her expertise as a gymnast makes this feat possible. He proves her guilt through two crucial pieces of evidence:
# Hitomi's necklace (the murder weapon) is missing after the end of the ride
# Hitomi has a tear-trail on her face that runs horizontally which is impossible unless she was crying during the course of the ride.

==== Motive ====
Hitomi's motive for murdering Kishida is because she used to go out with him long before she met Aiko and Reiko in college, until he dumped her. Hitomi planned to murder Kishida at the place they had their first date (Tropical Land) using the very necklace he had bought for her. Had Shinichi not proven the truth behind the murder, Hitomi would have committed suicide via poisoning herself after the visit to Tropical Land. </spoiler>

== Episode Resolution: Chasing the Men in Black ==
<spoiler>
[[Image:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Weapon Smuggler|weapon smuggler]] the men in black meet.]]
Shinichi, suspicious of the two men dressed in all black that rode the coaster, decides to follow them on their way to the outskirts of Tropical Land. He tells Ran to head home without him, and when she tries to follow her shoelace breaks, leaving her to watch him go with the strange feeling she'll never see him again. Shinichi gets caught up watching [[Vodka|one of the men]] conduct a blackmail transaction with a company executive and doesn't notice the [[Gin|other man dressed in black]] sneaking up from behind until the man knocks Shinichi out with pipe. To avoid the attention of the police, they give Shinichi an [[APTX 4869|un-tested poison]] in order to kill him without a trace, and leave him to die. However, rather than killing Shinichi, the poison shrinks him down to the size of a [[Conan Edogawa|six year old]].

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The first episode of the anime includes Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko (the future Detective Boys) trying to sneak into the Tropical Land rides without paying. They actually don't appear until many chapters later in the manga.
* Hiroshi Agasa and Kogoro Mouri also appear in this episode, whereas in the manga they make their debut in the [[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].
* The mansion owner kills his wife in the manga. In the anime the owner kills his friend and business partner, Yamazaki.
* In the manga, Shinichi is asked for the football by a group of small children. In the anime, the ball is from his school's soccer team; Shinichi also scores a goal with the ball, instead of merely kicking it back.
* In the manga, when Ran is trying to kick Shinichi, he leaps out of the way instead of getting his face under her skirt and then being hit for that.
* In the manga, Reiko points out that Gin and Vodka could have committed the murder as they were behind the victim. Shinichi acknowledges that they look suspicious, but if they pulled off the murder, they would have anticipated the arrival of the police (which they don't, as they are in a hurry to pull off their transaction).
* In the manga, Shinichi uses a camera when spying on Vodka. In the anime, he simply eavesdrops on the deal going on.
* When Shinichi is found out by the Security Guards, a loadful of them discover him in the manga while in the anime, only two of them show up.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Shinichi Kudo - Jimmy Kudo
:* Ran Mouri - Rachel Moore
:* Kogoro Mouri - Richard Moore
:* Juzo Megure - Inspector Joseph Meguire
:* Professor Hiroshi Agasa - Dr. Hershel Agasa
:* Ayumi Yoshida - Amy Yeager
:* Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya - Mitch Tennison
:* Genta Kojima - George Kaminski
:* Hitomi - Haley
:* Aiko - Ashley
:* Kishida - Kenneth
:* Reiko - Rikki
* In the English Dub, Agasa reactivates his rocket pack on purpose, whereas in the Japanese Version he does so unknowingly.
* In the English Dub, Kogoro takes offense to Ran's compliment of Shinichi, whereas the Japanese Version has him stating that he needs to make a living.
* In the English Dub, Ran sarcastically states that Shinichi looked at Hitomi's legs for the purpose of making a deduction, whereas in the Japanese Version she critiques him for knowing that Hitomi is a gymnast before shaking her hand.
* In the English Dub, Gin's reason for using the [[APTX 4869]] was fear of leaving a bullet trail behind, whereas in the Japanese Version it was due to the cops still being around after the murder on the roller coaster.

== Remastered version ==
On April 4, 2009, a remastered version of the case was aired. A few modifications were made in this new version: the victim's head doesn't land next to the Detective Boys and the scene where the viewer could see blood on the roller-coaster was cut.

== TV Special ==
{{main|Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small}}
On December 9, 2016, a 20th anniversary two-hour special complete remake of the first episode aired. It retold the events of the first episode and added in numerous backstory scenes for characters that would appear much later in the anime including Sherry, the FBI and Black Organization, Ran's schoolmates at Teitan high, the Suzuki family, and many others. It also included remakes of important scenes for later episodes

== Trivia ==
* In Shinichi's deduction about the roller coaster murder case, he said that he felt a drop of liquid, the culprit's tear, hit his forehead as she leaned over him to place the loop around the victim's neck. However, Shinichi neglected to mention any change in the feeling or sound of the wind rushing past his face as the culprit leaned over him.
* When Shinichi passed the TV shop on the way to school, you can see that the people viewing the program are in fact Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi.
* This if the first case where someone dies from gunshot wound or from decapitation.
* This is also the first case where someone was framed by the culprit.
* This is the first case of a drugging or using poison, however instead of death, the victim (Shinichi) de-aged down to a 7 year old.
* This is the first locked-room murder case.
* This is the first episode to feature a homicide at a private mansion.
* This is the first episode to show a crime at an amusement park.

== Case 1: Crime at the Private Mansion ==
=== Situation ===
The episode starts in a mansion where a party has been interrupted by a murder: one of the guests, President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank, was found dead with a bullet in his heart. The police, led by [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], have been investigating the crime scene, but have no conclusive evidence as to who the killer is. However, [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] makes his grand entrance and claims that he has figured out the case.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* Shinichi states that the room Yamazaki was killed in was locked from the inside. The only possible entrance into the room was the window.
* The mansion owner claims that there is at least a 10 meter gap between the two windows that Shinichi states the killer used. Shinichi points out, however, that if the killer used the roof to get closer to the other window, this gap is shortened to a mere 2 meters. Therefore, it could easily be jumped across.
* Shinichi notes that there is an indentation on the balcony where the killer attached a rope with a piece of wood at the end, allowing the killer a way to get back across to the 3rd floor window, as it is impossible for the killer to have successfully landed on the 10 centimeter roof ledge coming back. By using a piece of wood rather than simply tying the rope to the balcony, the killer was able to remove evidence of his method of escape while on the other side of the building.
* The lack of footprints below the window implies that it was an inside job.
* Shinichi claims to have spoken with the killer's doctor.

==== Conclusion ====
Shinichi concludes that the murderer could only have been someone who knew the mansion very well and eventually points his finger at the '''landlord'''. The latter, being in a wheelchair, then starts to laugh, claiming that he's in no position to be able to commit such a crime. Shinichi then grabs a globe and throws it towards the owner who immediately jumps out of his chair to avoid it. The maid and guests are all in shock. Shinichi then says that he's been healed for a while now as reported by his doctor, which Megure confirms.

==== Motive ====
Although the episode does not clearly state the mansion owner's motive, it likely had something to do with the "under-the-table" financial dealings that the owner had with Yamazaki.</spoiler>

== Case 2: Roller Coaster Murder Case ==

=== Situation ===
[[Ran Mouri]] meets up with her friend Shinichi Kudo on their way to [[Setting#Teitan High School .28.E5.B8.9D.E4.B8.B9.E9.AB.98.E6.A0.A1.29|Teitan High School]]. After Shinichi explains to Ran why he quit the soccer team and tells her that he wants to become a detective like the fictional Sherlock Holmes, Ran reminds Shinichi of a promise he made with her: if Ran won the regional karate championship, Shinichi would go with her to the amusement park, [[Setting#Tropical Land .28.E3.83.88.E3.83.AD.E3.83.94.E3.82.AB.E3.83.AB.E3.83.A9.E3.83.B3.E3.83.89.29|Tropical Land]]. Shinichi had forgotten, however, and Ran tries to kick him as punishment.

After school, Shinichi fulfill his promise by going with Ran to Tropical Land. As they're in line for the Mystery Coaster, Shinichi demonstrates his deductive reasoning to Ran when he correctly deduces that a girl standing in line in front of them is a gymnast, since the wind accidentally raised her flowing skirt and, alongside her frilly panties, he could see some marks on her upper thighs that are typical of gym practitioners. Shinichi and Ran's date is cut short when a murder occurs while they're riding the roller coaster. Who is responsible for killing Kishida, and how did they do it?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* Shinichi examines the tunnel area of the Mystery Coaster and finds a wire with some pearls still strung onto it and a hook at the end of the wire.
* The killer left a false piece of evidence, a bloodied knife, inside Aiko's purse with the intention of framing her. Shinichi explains that this is a fake piece of evidence, because it is impossible for a woman to have enough leverage and force to behead someone while on the ride.

==== Conclusion ====
Shinichi states the killer used an object like a purse or a backpack to escape the ride restraints and wrap a wire around the victim's head while in the darkness of the Mystery Coaster's tunnel. After tying the wire around the victim's head the killer tossed a hook attached to the other end onto the roller coaster's track, beheading the victim using the coaster's speed and movement. Shinichi concludes the murderer is '''Hitomi''', as her expertise as a gymnast makes this feat possible. He proves her guilt through two crucial pieces of evidence:
# Hitomi's necklace (the murder weapon) is missing after the end of the ride
# Hitomi has a tear-trail on her face that runs horizontally which is impossible unless she was crying during the course of the ride.

==== Motive ====
Hitomi's motive for murdering Kishida is because she used to go out with him long before she met Aiko and Reiko in college, until he dumped her. Hitomi planned to murder Kishida at the place they had their first date (Tropical Land) using the very necklace he had bought for her. Had Shinichi not proven the truth behind the murder, Hitomi would have committed suicide via poisoning herself after the visit to Tropical Land. </spoiler>

== Episode Resolution: Chasing the Men in Black ==
<spoiler>
[[Image:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Weapon Smuggler|weapon smuggler]] the men in black meet.]]
Shinichi, suspicious of the two men dressed in all black that rode the coaster, decides to follow them on their way to the outskirts of Tropical Land. He tells Ran to head home without him, and when she tries to follow her shoelace breaks, leaving her to watch him go with the strange feeling she'll never see him again. Shinichi gets caught up watching [[Vodka|one of the men]] conduct a blackmail transaction with a company executive and doesn't notice the [[Gin|other man dressed in black]] sneaking up from behind until the man knocks Shinichi out with pipe. To avoid the attention of the police, they give Shinichi an [[APTX 4869|un-tested poison]] in order to kill him without a trace, and leave him to die. However, rather than killing Shinichi, the poison shrinks him down to the size of a [[Conan Edogawa|six year old]].

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The first episode of the anime includes Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko (the future Detective Boys) trying to sneak into the Tropical Land rides without paying. They actually don't appear until many chapters later in the manga.
* Hiroshi Agasa and Kogoro Mouri also appear in this episode, whereas in the manga they make their debut in the [[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].
* The mansion owner kills his wife in the manga. In the anime the owner kills his friend and business partner, Yamazaki.
* In the manga, Shinichi is asked for the football by a group of small children. In the anime, the ball is from his school's soccer team; Shinichi also scores a goal with the ball, instead of merely kicking it back.
* In the manga, when Ran is trying to kick Shinichi, he leaps out of the way instead of getting his face under her skirt and then being hit for that.
* In the manga, Reiko points out that Gin and Vodka could have committed the murder as they were behind the victim. Shinichi acknowledges that they look suspicious, but if they pulled off the murder, they would have anticipated the arrival of the police (which they don't, as they are in a hurry to pull off their transaction).
* In the manga, Shinichi uses a camera when spying on Vodka. In the anime, he simply eavesdrops on the deal going on.
* When Shinichi is found out by the Security Guards, a loadful of them discover him in the manga while in the anime, only two of them show up.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Shinichi Kudo - Jimmy Kudo
:* Ran Mouri - Rachel Moore
:* Kogoro Mouri - Richard Moore
:* Juzo Megure - Inspector Joseph Meguire
:* Professor Hiroshi Agasa - Dr. Hershel Agasa
:* Ayumi Yoshida - Amy Yeager
:* Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya - Mitch Tennison
:* Genta Kojima - George Kaminski
:* Hitomi - Haley
:* Aiko - Ashley
:* Kishida - Kenneth
:* Reiko - Rikki
* In the English Dub, Agasa reactivates his rocket pack on purpose, whereas in the Japanese Version he does so unknowingly.
* In the English Dub, Kogoro takes offense to Ran's compliment of Shinichi, whereas the Japanese Version has him stating that he needs to make a living.
* In the English Dub, Ran sarcastically states that Shinichi looked at Hitomi's legs for the purpose of making a deduction, whereas in the Japanese Version she critiques him for knowing that Hitomi is a gymnast before shaking her hand.
* In the English Dub, Gin's reason for using the [[APTX 4869]] was fear of leaving a bullet trail behind, whereas in the Japanese Version it was due to the cops still being around after the murder on the roller coaster.

== Remastered version ==
On April 4, 2009, a remastered version of the case was aired. A few modifications were made in this new version: the victim's head doesn't land next to the Detective Boys and the scene where the viewer could see blood on the roller-coaster was cut.

== TV Special ==
{{main|Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small}}
On December 9, 2016, a 20th anniversary two-hour special complete remake of the first episode aired. It retold the events of the first episode and added in numerous backstory scenes for characters that would appear much later in the anime including Sherry, the FBI and Black Organization, Ran's schoolmates at Teitan high, the Suzuki family, and many others. It also included remakes of important scenes for later episodes

== Trivia ==
* In Shinichi's deduction about the roller coaster murder case, he said that he felt a drop of liquid, the culprit's tear, hit his forehead as she leaned over him to place the loop around the victim's neck. However, Shinichi neglected to mention any change in the feeling or sound of the wind rushing past his face as the culprit leaned over him.
* When Shinichi passed the TV shop on the way to school, you can see that the people viewing the program are in fact Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi.
* This if the first case where someone dies from gunshot wound or from decapitation.
* This is also the first case where someone was framed by the culprit.
* This is the first case of a drugging or using poison, however instead of death, the victim (Shinichi) de-aged down to a 7 year old.
* This is the first locked-room murder case.
* This is the first episode to feature a homicide at a private mansion.
* This is the first episode to show a crime at an amusement park.

== Case 1: Crime at the Private Mansion ==
=== Situation ===
The episode starts in a mansion where a party has been interrupted by a murder: one of the guests, President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank, was found dead with a bullet in his heart. The police, led by [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], have been investigating the crime scene, but have no conclusive evidence as to who the killer is. However, [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] makes his grand entrance and claims that he has figured out the case.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* Shinichi states that the room Yamazaki was killed in was locked from the inside. The only possible entrance into the room was the window.
* The mansion owner claims that there is at least a 10 meter gap between the two windows that Shinichi states the killer used. Shinichi points out, however, that if the killer used the roof to get closer to the other window, this gap is shortened to a mere 2 meters. Therefore, it could easily be jumped across.
* Shinichi notes that there is an indentation on the balcony where the killer attached a rope with a piece of wood at the end, allowing the killer a way to get back across to the 3rd floor window, as it is impossible for the killer to have successfully landed on the 10 centimeter roof ledge coming back. By using a piece of wood rather than simply tying the rope to the balcony, the killer was able to remove evidence of his method of escape while on the other side of the building.
* The lack of footprints below the window implies that it was an inside job.
* Shinichi claims to have spoken with the killer's doctor.

==== Conclusion ====
Shinichi concludes that the murderer could only have been someone who knew the mansion very well and eventually points his finger at the '''landlord'''. The latter, being in a wheelchair, then starts to laugh, claiming that he's in no position to be able to commit such a crime. Shinichi then grabs a globe and throws it towards the owner who immediately jumps out of his chair to avoid it. The maid and guests are all in shock. Shinichi then says that he's been healed for a while now as reported by his doctor, which Megure confirms.

==== Motive ====
Although the episode does not clearly state the mansion owner's motive, it likely had something to do with the "under-the-table" financial dealings that the owner had with Yamazaki.</spoiler>

== Case 2: Roller Coaster Murder Case ==

=== Situation ===
[[Ran Mouri]] meets up with her friend Shinichi Kudo on their way to [[Setting#Teitan High School .28.E5.B8.9D.E4.B8.B9.E9.AB.98.E6.A0.A1.29|Teitan High School]]. After Shinichi explains to Ran why he quit the soccer team and tells her that he wants to become a detective like the fictional Sherlock Holmes, Ran reminds Shinichi of a promise he made with her: if Ran won the regional karate championship, Shinichi would go with her to the amusement park, [[Setting#Tropical Land .28.E3.83.88.E3.83.AD.E3.83.94.E3.82.AB.E3.83.AB.E3.83.A9.E3.83.B3.E3.83.89.29|Tropical Land]]. Shinichi had forgotten, however, and Ran tries to kick him as punishment.

After school, Shinichi fulfill his promise by going with Ran to Tropical Land. As they're in line for the Mystery Coaster, Shinichi demonstrates his deductive reasoning to Ran when he correctly deduces that a girl standing in line in front of them is a gymnast, since the wind accidentally raised her flowing skirt and, alongside her frilly panties, he could see some marks on her upper thighs that are typical of gym practitioners. Shinichi and Ran's date is cut short when a murder occurs while they're riding the roller coaster. Who is responsible for killing Kishida, and how did they do it?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* Shinichi examines the tunnel area of the Mystery Coaster and finds a wire with some pearls still strung onto it and a hook at the end of the wire.
* The killer left a false piece of evidence, a bloodied knife, inside Aiko's purse with the intention of framing her. Shinichi explains that this is a fake piece of evidence, because it is impossible for a woman to have enough leverage and force to behead someone while on the ride.

==== Conclusion ====
Shinichi states the killer used an object like a purse or a backpack to escape the ride restraints and wrap a wire around the victim's head while in the darkness of the Mystery Coaster's tunnel. After tying the wire around the victim's head the killer tossed a hook attached to the other end onto the roller coaster's track, beheading the victim using the coaster's speed and movement. Shinichi concludes the murderer is '''Hitomi''', as her expertise as a gymnast makes this feat possible. He proves her guilt through two crucial pieces of evidence:
# Hitomi's necklace (the murder weapon) is missing after the end of the ride
# Hitomi has a tear-trail on her face that runs horizontally which is impossible unless she was crying during the course of the ride.

==== Motive ====
Hitomi's motive for murdering Kishida is because she used to go out with him long before she met Aiko and Reiko in college, until he dumped her. Hitomi planned to murder Kishida at the place they had their first date (Tropical Land) using the very necklace he had bought for her. Had Shinichi not proven the truth behind the murder, Hitomi would have committed suicide via poisoning herself after the visit to Tropical Land. </spoiler>

== Episode Resolution: Chasing the Men in Black ==
<spoiler>
[[Image:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Weapon Smuggler|weapon smuggler]] the men in black meet.]]
Shinichi, suspicious of the two men dressed in all black that rode the coaster, decides to follow them on their way to the outskirts of Tropical Land. He tells Ran to head home without him, and when she tries to follow her shoelace breaks, leaving her to watch him go with the strange feeling she'll never see him again. Shinichi gets caught up watching [[Vodka|one of the men]] conduct a blackmail transaction with a company executive and doesn't notice the [[Gin|other man dressed in black]] sneaking up from behind until the man knocks Shinichi out with pipe. To avoid the attention of the police, they give Shinichi an [[APTX 4869|un-tested poison]] in order to kill him without a trace, and leave him to die. However, rather than killing Shinichi, the poison shrinks him down to the size of a [[Conan Edogawa|six year old]].

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The first episode of the anime includes Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko (the future Detective Boys) trying to sneak into the Tropical Land rides without paying. They actually don't appear until many chapters later in the manga.
* Hiroshi Agasa and Kogoro Mouri also appear in this episode, whereas in the manga they make their debut in the [[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].
* The mansion owner kills his wife in the manga. In the anime the owner kills his friend and business partner, Yamazaki.
* In the manga, Shinichi is asked for the football by a group of small children. In the anime, the ball is from his school's soccer team; Shinichi also scores a goal with the ball, instead of merely kicking it back.
* In the manga, when Ran is trying to kick Shinichi, he leaps out of the way instead of getting his face under her skirt and then being hit for that.
* In the manga, Reiko points out that Gin and Vodka could have committed the murder as they were behind the victim. Shinichi acknowledges that they look suspicious, but if they pulled off the murder, they would have anticipated the arrival of the police (which they don't, as they are in a hurry to pull off their transaction).
* In the manga, Shinichi uses a camera when spying on Vodka. In the anime, he simply eavesdrops on the deal going on.
* When Shinichi is found out by the Security Guards, a loadful of them discover him in the manga while in the anime, only two of them show up.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Shinichi Kudo - Jimmy Kudo
:* Ran Mouri - Rachel Moore
:* Kogoro Mouri - Richard Moore
:* Juzo Megure - Inspector Joseph Meguire
:* Professor Hiroshi Agasa - Dr. Hershel Agasa
:* Ayumi Yoshida - Amy Yeager
:* Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya - Mitch Tennison
:* Genta Kojima - George Kaminski
:* Hitomi - Haley
:* Aiko - Ashley
:* Kishida - Kenneth
:* Reiko - Rikki
* In the English Dub, Agasa reactivates his rocket pack on purpose, whereas in the Japanese Version he does so unknowingly.
* In the English Dub, Kogoro takes offense to Ran's compliment of Shinichi, whereas the Japanese Version has him stating that he needs to make a living.
* In the English Dub, Ran sarcastically states that Shinichi looked at Hitomi's legs for the purpose of making a deduction, whereas in the Japanese Version she critiques him for knowing that Hitomi is a gymnast before shaking her hand.
* In the English Dub, Gin's reason for using the [[APTX 4869]] was fear of leaving a bullet trail behind, whereas in the Japanese Version it was due to the cops still being around after the murder on the roller coaster.

== Remastered version ==
On April 4, 2009, a remastered version of the case was aired. A few modifications were made in this new version: the victim's head doesn't land next to the Detective Boys and the scene where the viewer could see blood on the roller-coaster was cut.

== TV Special ==
{{main|Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small}}
On December 9, 2016, a 20th anniversary two-hour special complete remake of the first episode aired. It retold the events of the first episode and added in numerous backstory scenes for characters that would appear much later in the anime including Sherry, the FBI and Black Organization, Ran's schoolmates at Teitan high, the Suzuki family, and many others. It also included remakes of important scenes for later episodes

== Trivia ==
* In Shinichi's deduction about the roller coaster murder case, he said that he felt a drop of liquid, the culprit's tear, hit his forehead as she leaned over him to place the loop around the victim's neck. However, Shinichi neglected to mention any change in the feeling or sound of the wind rushing past his face as the culprit leaned over him.
* When Shinichi passed the TV shop on the way to school, you can see that the people viewing the program are in fact Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi.
* This if the first case where someone dies from gunshot wound or from decapitation.
* This is also the first case where someone was framed by the culprit.
* This is the first case of a drugging or using poison, however instead of death, the victim (Shinichi) de-aged down to a 7 year old.
* This is the first locked-room murder case.
* This is the first episode to feature a homicide at a private mansion.
* This is the first episode to show a crime at an amusement park.

[[Image:Detective Conan Characters.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Main characters of the series]]
The series was created and is drawn by [[Gosho Aoyama]]. The protagonists from his earlier series [[Magic Kaito]] look very similar: [[Kaitou Kid]] has made a number of appearances as himself in the anime and manga of the series. The main protagonist of the ''[[Detective Conan]]'' series, [[Shinichi Kudo]], and the protagonist of the ''Magic Kaito'' series, [[Kaito Kuroba]], are also similar. Hundreds of minor characters have been created and are always given backgrounds, motives, and personalities that put them under suspicion during the investigation.

The English adaption dubbed by [[Funimation]], called ''Case Closed'', has different names than the one in the manga published by [[Viz Media]].

== Protagonists ==
The series revolves around [[Shinichi Kudo]] and his "child version", [[Conan Edogawa]], as well as his love interest and best friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father [[Kogoro Mouri]].

The Detective Boys are called the "Junior Detective League" in the English version of the show.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
** There were marks on the front door lock of the Akagis' house indicating a forced entry.
** The shoe rack contained men's and children's shoes only.
** The way Ryoko rummaged through the cupboards was as if she didn't know where the utensils were.
** One of the rooms was trashed. A picture of a man and a boy confirmed that its occupant was a child named Mamoru Akagi and a man.
** The man who was with Mamoru in the picture was Hideo Akagi, the professional soccer player whom Ryoko was watching on TV.

* '''Conclusion'''
Conan knew that something was up because he didn't really know Ryoko. With the clues at hand, Conan pieced things together.

He immediately called Ryoko as Shinichi using the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and the [[Portable Bento Box Fax]]. He confirmed that '''Mamoru was kidnapped'''. Mamoru was Hideo's little brother whom Hideo has been taking care of since their parents died two years ago. Hideo was ordered by the kidnapper to throw the game. Threatened that Mamoru would be hurt if the police was involved, Mamoru's babysitter Ryoko decided to pose as Shinichi's girlfriend to rope him into helping her find Mamoru before he's actually hurt.

When Ryoko came over to make breakfast, she found a letter left by the kidnapper and another which the kidnapper apparently made Mamoru wrote. Ryoko faxed Conan a ripped letter with the words: "Brother, resurrect me."

While trying to find more clues in Mamoru's room, Conan thought that it was just too messed up, even if the child retaliated. With further investigation, Conan found an empty game box called Onimaru Quest - a game where the hero has to be 'resurrected'. The main character in that game was named Mamoru. Another character in the game was named Naoki. Uemura Naoki was a soccer player who joined the Tokyo Spirits a year ago. He was also Hideo's good friend who lives nearby.

Conan deduced that Mamoru was with '''Naoki Uemura''' and that it was just made to look like it was a case of kidnapping. The note that Mamoru left must have been a part of the whole saying that he was going to Naoki's to have his character revived.

Conan, Ran and Ryoko rushed to Naoki's place and sure enough, they found Mamoru there unharmed. After everything was cleared up, Ran tried to find Shinichi since she thinks he's nearby, and Conan has to pull a trick with Agasa's help to make her believe he *is* there but cannot stay any longer.

* '''Motive'''
Naoki envied Hideo because even though their skills were pretty much the same, Hideo was still more popular than he was. He came close to surpassing Hideo, but during one of their practices, Hideo accidentally but ''gravelly'' injured his leg. Naoki thought that it was done on purpose so he wouldn't be able to play.

Naoki didn't plan to hurt Mamoru. He would send Mamoru home after the soccer finals and then disappear after getting back at Hideo. When he hears Hideo dedicate his goals of the night to him (without knowing that he was the kidnapper), however, Naoki realised that Hideo cherished him, and was brought to tears.</spoiler>

== Remastered version ==
A remastered version of this case was aired on October 9, 2010.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Ryoko - Riana
:* Mamoru Akagi - Matthias Acres
:* Naoki Uemura - Nicholas Underwood
:* Hideo Akagi - Harrison Acres

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* In the manga, the [[Detective Boys]]' conversation about the soccer match occurs while they are walking home from school, while the anime has them discussing it while sitting down on a park bench. Additionally, the scene in the manga ends on Conan reflecting how he'd be playing soccer on his high school fields if not for the [[Black Organization|men in black]] poisoning him, with a brief background appearance by [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].
* In the manga, the story ends with a narrative exposition of Conan mentioning that it took three days before Ran accepted Ryoko's explanation of Shinichi's presence. The anime ended with the narration following the discussion in question back at the Detective Agency.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first time that [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] solved the case using [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi's]] voice, since he was shrunk in [[Roller Coaster Murder Case]], however the police were not involved in this episode and is the first time Conan solves the case via his phone.
* This is the first time that the show hints out that Conan has two phones:
:* One for Conan Edogawa
:* One for Shinichi Kudo
* This is the first soccer related episode and the first sport-related one.
* This is the first time that someone claimed that Shinichi Kudo was their boyfriend, or that they have been dating.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Norio Terasawa'''. He uses the fishing rod as a murder weapon, using its sinker to smash Imoto's head. Sunflower pots were broken in the process and so the illusion the murder was created by physical bludgeoning was created. Evidence to his crime includes the deep imprint he left on the abandoned apartment next-door to the victim's (an imprint that in these circumstances could only be caused by a whip fishing stance) and that could be examined with the murderer's own shoes. Also in the process of the murder a stray bird accidentally got hit in the weapon's line of fire and a mark from the sinker was formed on the veranda railing. The final decisive evidence was the grip rod found in the building that had his fingerprints on it.

His motive for killing Imoto was that he shut down a fishing tackle shop he owned which the victim was going to renovate into company property. The last straw came when he rejected Terasawa's pleas and broke one of his precious fishing rods.</spoiler>

'''{{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 at numerous occasions in different anime series (i.e. mainly cameo appearances) as well as other medias.

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

[[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 business man and [[Vodka|a man in black]] in a secluded area by the ferris wheel. While spying on the suspicious men, Shinichi does not notice [[Gin|another man in black]], who knocks him out from behind and forces him to swallow a new experimental poison known as [[APTX 4869]]. They then leave him to die. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurred. Shinichi's body shrunk back to that of his six-year-old self.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 59: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> In desperation and confusion, Shinichi heads back to his house and runs into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. After a few attempts at proving he's in fact Shinichi, he finally succeeds in convincing the Professor. The latter warns him he must keep his identity secret as the [[Black Organization]] will surely try to kill him and others associated with him should they learn the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>
{{clearleft}}
[[File:Agasa shinichi.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi as conan in his shrunken form with Hiroshi Agasa first time met and Profressor 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 really the one solving cases. By knocking Kogoro out at crime scenes with a fast-acting [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer]] and using a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice modulator]] to relay deductions in Kogoro's voice, Conan creates 'Sleeping Kogoro'. The conceited Kogoro enjoys his newfound reputation and the money it brings in so much that he doesn't question why he is suddenly passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep.

=== Creation of the Detective Boys ===
Conan enrolls at [[Teitan Elementary 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 much later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterwards 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 an extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases and escape tricky situations. Conan tries to speak in a child-like manner when dealing with adults, but he often gets caught up in the current case and begins speaking like an adult, referring to advanced topics and using reasoning much too complex for a normal child. When this happens, he often tries to pass it off as "something [he] heard on TV" or "taught by uncle Kogoro/professor Agasa/Shinichi-niichan".
Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he called out for talking about either subject in too much detail, he tries to escape suspicion by saying it was something Shinichi told him about. Although as the series has progressed the adults around him have
become more used to his "being quite smart for a child", causing him to behave more like himself around them, he still tries to pass as a normal child.
[[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 in a professional manner 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 seem willing to give culprits, who has attempted murder due to misunderstandings and fail, a second chance and let them off the hook.

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.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Conan full face.png|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. Additionally, in the Red, White, Yellow case, Conan was specifically referred to and asked for help by a fellow classmate.

== Skills ==
:''See also: [[Shinichi Kudo#Skills|Shinichi's Skills]]''
=== Detective skills ===
[[File:Glasses Modification(Microphone).PNG|210px|thumb|right|
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 the have the reputation Shinichi had. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to remember every detail of an investigation or other topics he cares about, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Conan's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony that other people miss, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Conan has extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases; something he likely acquired from his incessant reading in his "first childhood". There are only few people like [[Heiji]], [[Hakuba]] 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>

=== Observation Sense ===
He is highly observant on almost every single thing in his life, whether at a crime scene, or his normal 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 really 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.

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 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 Episode 418, 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 Episode 770-771, in Haido Central Hospital, Conan was watching Bourbon, and instantly noticed how he reacted after a small child was counting down, "Three... Two... One..." and shouted out, "Zero!!" Since Amuro noticed his own reaction, he had to cover it up, and say that "'Zero' was one his nicknames when he was a little child."

This was really the first clue to Conan that Amuro may not just be the Black Organization Member Bourbon, but something else too. During The Scarlet Return Episode 779-783, Conan began to deduce from his own 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, not always accurately, but he was really 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 esp. his Master Of Disguise Mother, with his father's habit of testing his son's observations and deductions from the time when he was really a young child.

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

This sense comes in a lesser degree as well:

Although Conan can speak in a professional manner are the FBI, especially Jodie Starling, Shuichi Akai, James Black, and Inspector Kansuke Yamato of the Nagano Police, all of whom suspect that there is more to Conan than meets the eye, 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 Uncle, Agasa, or 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 really the only time he does.

It may also help him to know when Ran is suspicious that he is Shinichi Kudo, so he has to attempt to behave more like a child to mislead her for her own 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, or someone else, if necessary.

This sense did not seem to activate at all at 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 still continued listening to Jodie and Conan's conversation, although he did not appear to really watch or pay any attention to Jodie, Conan, Agasa, or any of the 4 kids, but he probably had a good view of Haibara, unlike every other time, 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."

=== Killer Radar ===
This radar is obviously 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 poison pill, which made him shrink to the body of a 7 year old.

In The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion Episode 759-760, he knew who the killer 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 Episode 24, he probably would have picked up on the amnesiac woman being a killer, but she did have amnesiac, although he knew when he saw her hands, which are the hands of someone who works with wire. He picked up that she was a hit woman, 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 knew this woman was the killer instantly. The police brought up the information of her husband being killed during a robbery awhile 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 and 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 incidence.

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 literally 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 Episode 77-78, 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 in order to stop the culprits Murder/Suicide.

In The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency Episode 648-650, 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, 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 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 really the killer of the "accused deceased guy.
After Amuro, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan escorted her home to her apartment, then Conan behaved like he was desperate to use the bathroom, which really 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 the other direction in order 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 escuse, 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 absense, 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 in another Vehicle, with Kogoro in the back Seat.

At some point, Conan stopped acting like he was really 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 her intentions were 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.

=== Bluffing and Telling Lies===
He can bluff, if needed in order to come to the correct deduction, however he is not a great Liar.

Bluffing is giving misinformation, in order 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 Lucky Calico case, he really 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, in order 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 are 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 own 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 catnip, would have no effect on Tails or Goro, so that Tail's true owner can be properly identified.

In The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency Episode 648-650, 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, 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 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 own camera or wire, so the other 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.
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 own 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 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 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 really a disguised Conan, and he told her what to say in order for Vermouth to reveal herself.

He planned on having her take him in to the Organization, but she attempted to kill Jodie, he unmasked himself, and his plan really 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.

Fist, you need a "Prince to wake up the 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 back 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 prior to 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 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 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 the Scarlet episodes, after Camel let it slip that Kusada shot himself in the head, Conan had less then 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 sometimes, Conan listening in another room, with a number of 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 signature, powerful precision kick to knock out criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Like Shinichi, Conan's kick is accurate over distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing, snowboarding, and ice-skating.

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

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

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

In Detectives' Nocturne Episode 671-674, 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 really 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 Episode 547-548, 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 in order 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, in order 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 Episode 345, Conan did a good job of acting like Haibara in the car with Jodie, but he probably broke character in order to tell Jodie what to say to Vermouth in order 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 wrist watch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.

After Vermouth abducted an unconscious Conan, and drove some distance away, she e-mailed the boss, and began thinking. When she touched his shoulders, she apparently felt some wires and stuff on him, so she cut his coat, and found a number of 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 Episode 896-897, while rehearsing his lines for tomorrow's play, Conan is playing 'Ikku' in the school play.

All of the following: Kobayashi-sensei, 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 his mother being an actress, and his 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 a 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.

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

=== Stamina ===
It is hard to say about his stamina, since he was shrunk down to Conan.
It obviously 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 especcially his super kick 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 afterwards.

=== 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 perfect pitch in the last scenes of the twelfth Detective Conan movie, [[Full Score of Fear]]. He also manages to replicate and sing dial tones for a phone, showing that the reason he can't sing is because he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 (Episode 614), Conan stated he isn't very knowledgeable about music but identified the untuned piano key whereupon Haibara joked about his sharp ears despite being tone-deaf.

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

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

In The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages Episode 304, 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 in how to disarm the bomb.

He had already began 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 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 (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 outhink Gin.

He really 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 commiting 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 own 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 Akai to meet his Mom and Agasa somewhere else to help his new disguise.
Kir, who was to kill him in order to prove herself to Gin
Akai, who was to die
James Black, who noticed the glue or substance to Akai's fingertips, just prior to 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 own 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 own tranquilizer dart, he heard her press the digits on her cell phone in order 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 in order 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 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 a number of 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 immediatley chased after a disguised Vermouth, and saw her enter Gin's Porsch. 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 have the knowledge of 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 is able to deciphering Kid's codes, among many others.
In the paper airplane episode, Subaru and Conan, both managed to decipher the aiplanes' codes at about the same time.
In The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages Episode 304, he was also able to decipher from E-V-I-T, that the next bomb was Teitan High School.

He has even been shown to be able to write codes as well.

In Sweet and Cold Delivery Service, 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 Tails, 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, BOURBON, who works at Cafe Poirot, and Tails makes his stop there everyday at around this time. The code basically read, COR...P..SE," and the license plate number.

He then placed the note in Tails' 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 everyday, he took the rest of the day off work to track the note using his Wind App, taking into account the location of building.

While Amuro was still tracking that note, the kids were getting in even worse shape, since they are freezing, and most likely none of Conan's gadgets would work.

Conan 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 care of Mr Kudu," 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 really a cell phone to help the kids, and ... It is a good thing that Amuro managed to track the delivery van, but he simply acted like he was passing by, and told the kids that the wind blew away their message.

After disabling the culprits, Conan was able to use that phone to call the police.

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

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

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

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

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

However, when she really 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 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 toe the Black Organization, they both have a tendency to withhold information in order 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 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 a 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 crossed paths with them at an hotel party while they were 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 back to Shinichi several times, but never permanently.
==== East versus West Detective ====
First he temporary returns to normal after drinking alcohol while infected with a cold.<ref>[[Diplomat Murder Case|Episodes 48-49: Diplomat Murder Case]].</ref>
He quickly turns back into Conan after solving the case and develops an immunity to the alcohol.

==== Desperate revival ====
{{Main|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 as Conan and appears in front of Ran with Shinichi in order to put Ran's fears to rest.<ref>[[The Desperate Revival|Episodes 191-193: The Desperate Revival]].</ref><ref>[[Volume 26#File 256 - Concealed Truth|Volume 26, Files 256-258: "Concealed Truth"]]</ref>

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

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

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family 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 an difficult situation or needs to vent, and he comforts and encourages her when she is feeling down, especially about Shinichi being away for so long. It is even likely that Ran 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 actually gets the case right, so he will allow the "non-sleeping Kogoro" to take the spotlight. Kogoro views Conan as a freeloader who constantly gets underfoot and never fails to insinuate himself at cases, "interfere" with the scene, and pipe up with childish observations that consistently ruin Kogoro's deductions. 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 actually 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 troubles 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 in order to show Conan how dangerous his goals are. However after seeing that their son is determent 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 span of time, saying that the only time a girl would do that is if she likes the boy or the boy has something on his face. Conan simply pushes it off as Ai checking on her "lab mouse," but at night, in bed, Conan asks Ai if he has something on his face.

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

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

==== "Shinichi Kudo" ====
They never meet each other for obvious reasons: Conan is Shinichi's secret identity. However, since Conan tries to act as a child, he often thinks Shinichi as a separate character (in one episode, when Ran claims to go to a date with Shinichi, Conan bids goodbye, oblivious for a while that he is actually 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 really admires and loves Shinichi. In turn, Shinichi is willing to satiate Conan's curiosity, but at one point he gets really 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.
{{clearright}}

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====

==== Masumi Sera ====
Masumi Sera is like a older sister figure to Conan. She knows that Conan is actually 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 Suguru. 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 of 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 CIA infiltrating the organization, the relationship between the two seems to have improved somehow after Conan reveals his identity to Eisuke without hesitating refusing his offer to take Ran with him in America. At that moment, Eisuke confesses to Conan in an amicable way 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 it's possible that 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 really 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 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 toe the Black Organization, they both have a tendency to withhold information in order 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 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 a 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 clearly seems to like Conan and isn't aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of him because of this. Sonoko is also thinking the same after Sera teased Conan about the girl he likes.

==== 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]]
With the exception of a few inspectors, most listen to the little clues that Conan points out. After a while, Conan gets the attention of the whole Tokyo police department for noticing things even pros miss. [[Wataru Takagi]] in particular has taken to trusting Conan completely and doing whatever Conan asks him to without hesitation.

==== 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, Episode 258-258, 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 episode 304 ,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 so as 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 of an arranged marriage with Sato. When asked for reasons, he didn't answer, but quietly relate the experience with Ran's relationship.

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

In the Suspicious party of Two, he even told Yui Uehara that he suspects Conan of being "the one leading everything," in regards to 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 really kept taking in a Nagano dialect, using phrases that terrified Haibara, such as "Half-Kill" and "Over-Kill, which dealth with a kind of Mochi."

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 really his help they were wanting.

After hearing the discription of RUM, he is concerned, he is even more aware of his one-eyed state, which is is the common description in all of Rum's descriptions.

In an episode, when one of the girls referred to Yamato of the Nagano, he though of the Rum Description, and how it applies to him, but quickly dismissed it.

The very next time that he saw Kansuke, he again was inspecting him, while thinking of Rum's Descriptions, however that really did not last any longer, esp. after Conan say Karoda, His older, bigger, scarier, one-eyed, Nagano boss, who happens to like tea. Even Kansuke says, "Karoda looks like the boss of some organization."

==== Hyoue Kuroda ====
[[Kuroda]] is aware how good Conan is as a detective, calling him " Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", he also trusts his deductions and have 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, Anime: 810-812, 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 Episode 909-910, 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 Episode 971-974, he also instructed Bourbon to answer all of Conan's questions, when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case as well.

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

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

==== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ====
[[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 one and 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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==== Bourbon ====
[[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] (codenamed Bourbon) has attached himself to the Mouri Detective Agency as Kogoro's "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person's showed up" when he learns Amuro will be joining Kogoro on cases.

After learning of Amuro's membership in the Black Organization, though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near Ran.

This was made even worse in Episode 706 Bourbon Figures it Out, when Bourbon caught him attempting to tranquilize Kogoro, but due to Bourbon's attentiveness, he was unable to, and had to give hints to Kogoro instead, but ... 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.

Conan's become more cautious and is somewhat confused by Amuro's helpful behavior, though he attempts to pretend nothing has changed unsuccessfully.

It does not help that at this period of time, Bourbon also began investigating the disappearance of Black Organization Spy Rikumichi Kusuda, who went missing after becoming a patient at the Haido Central Hospital, which may have been due to a disquised Bourbon placing a bug on Jodie in Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap, when she is conversing with Conan, and they mentioned how Conan helped the FBI discover the identity of the Black Organization Spy, although he may have also overheard Conan reveal his identity of Bourbon to Jodie, just prior to the bugging.

[https://postimg.cc/GHxPZLsL Conan with a Disguised Bourbon in background]

In the above picture in the episode of Jodie's Memories, when Conan was using Agasa for his deduction, Conan was standing behind Agasa. A disguised Bourbon was standing in front of the crowd, although he may have repositioned himself slightly see Conan speaking behind a wide awake 'Mouthing" Agasa.

He told [[Vermouth]] that Conan is a terrifying man.

In Kogoro in the Bar and Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well, Conan discovered that it must have been a disguised Bourbon and Vermouth, who was at the shrine along with him and Jodie, and he was literally in a panic mode for a bit.

His bond with Amuro later seemed to improve when he learns that Amuro is actually an undercover operative from Japanese Secret Police when the two exchange smiles in Café Poirot.<ref>[[Volume 85#File 897 - Scarlet Truth|Volumes 85, File 897: "Scarlet Truth"]]</ref>

By Episode 926 The Heartfelt Strap, Conan trust Amuro enough that he actually used his Voice Changing Bow Tie in loudspeaker mode, in front of him at a beach.

As of Episode 954 The Unsolved Cocktail Case, when Amuro broke into the Kudu home, so that he can find out information about Kudo Shinichi, as ordered by Rum, and had the altercation with an unmasked Akai, and both of Shinichi's 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 Japanese Secret Police- Public Security Bureau, plant phony incriminating evidence against Kogoro Mouri for a bombing incident.

Conan even placed a bug on Kazami, and that bug was forcefully removed in front of him by Amuro.
It really appeared that Amuro was being a real thorn to Conan in that movie, although that was not Amuro's real intention at all.

That explosion could have been classified as an accident, which would have been impossible for the Public Security Bureau to investigate, so Amuro decided to give them a suspect. By involving Kogoro, he knew that Conan would begin investigating the explosion, which even he, himself would have a hard time investigating it himself, since he is a Black Organization Implant from the Japanese Secret Police Division-Public Security Bureau.

While Kogoro was still having legal problems, Amuro had Kazami get in contact with one of their lawyer collaborators for her to defend Kogoro, and get him off, not knowing that she hates the Public Security Bureau with a passion, and chose to betray them. In short, if the real culprit of the bombing was not found, Kogoro was not going to be getting off at all.

After a lot more appliances are going haywire, Conan came up with the fact that it is a IOT Terrorist Attack, and he even discovered the Culprit. Around this time, the Public Security Bureau allowed evidence to reach their prosecuter, that Mouri's computer may have been hacked, and he was released. (Considering the prosecuter knew it was planted in the first place, but they needed a suspect, however they also wanted to protect their suspect, which is why he was removed from the police station, and they chose to prosecute him almost as soon as he was arrested, so that they could move him to probably a more secure location.) Since they now know it is a terrorist attack, they no longer needed a phony suspect, so he was released from custody.

After Conan began his trek to meet up with the culprit, Amuro began following him, and they had a short talk, before Conan told him that he was on his way to meet the suspect.

Conan began skateboarding, followed by Amuro in his car. However, there was another IOT Terrorist attack, which affected cars and vehicles, which Amuro was caught up in. After his car did a stunt and stopped, he told Conan to continue on ahead.

However, in that movie, they both were each other's collaborators or cooperators at different times.
Amuro was Conan's when it came stopping a space shuttle thing heading back to the planet from crashing into where the Tokyo Metropolitan Headquarters, and later, where everyone was really being evacuated to.

At the end of the movie, he explained the reason that they framed Kogoro, and everything else, but the framing was so that Conan can do what he was unable to do, which is to investigate. This way, he was able to use Conan as a Collaborator, and to rely on his strength.

Although Conan stated, "You overestimate me, " it sound like their relationship is back on a positive note, before they headed opposite ways.

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

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

Conan does not buy in to Kid's reputation as a mysterious, uncatchable phantom, saying once "He's only a thief that uses magic",<ref>Anime Episode 515: Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic</ref> and encouraging police officers that Kid is only a man and he can be arrested. However, if necessary, the two can put their rivalry aside for a little while and work together.<ref>[[Kaitou Kid and the Four Masterpieces]]</ref> Conan has something of a gentleman's agreement with Kaitou Kid, in that he doesn't try to find or catch the thief outside of heists. In several instances, when Kid does Conan a favor, such as saving Genta's life<ref>[[Big Adventure in the Eccentric Mansion]]</ref>, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape mostly unhindered. This exchange of favors can sometimes become a bit unbalanced; in exchange for not giving Kid away on a train Conan has Kid face down the [[Black Organization]] in disguise, and because Kid narrowly escapes an explosion with his life, he says that Conan now owes ''him'' one.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"</ref>

In the non-[[canon]] movies, it is implied that Kid knows Conan's identity; he even helps Conan maintain his cover by disguising himself as Shinichi so that a suspicious Ran would stop suspecting Conan.

==== 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 find 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 introductory case, Conan noticed that he had a medical patch on his left eye, although Wakita claims it is only temporary. He obviously 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 neighorhood.

(He could have just asked the person that his delivery was for, but no. Let's ask the Kudos' next door neighbor. Plus it is highly unlikely that Subaru, the supposedly DEAD FBI agent, Akai, who is residing in the 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 chapter 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 actually Shinichi Kudo.

The 3rd, 8th, 14th, 19th and 23th movies also demonstrate that [[Kaitou Kid]] apparently 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 hair on the top of Conan's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia:Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Conan's clothes were modeled after [[Wikipedia:Shichi-Go-San|Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) clothing]]. Young Gosho wore a bow tie and shorts in his Shichi-Go-San photographs. Gosho tries to restrict Conan's gadgets to what Conan can wear, but he has run out of ideas lately. The use of glasses as a disguise was modeled after [[Wikipedia:Superman|Superman]]'s Clark Kent. Conan's speech habits were meant to be slightly rough like Joe from [[Wikipedia:Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]] and [[Wikipedia:Touch (manga)|Touch]].<ref>File 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Conan's bad singing came to light as a joke after the anime began airing because Conan's voice actress [[Minami Takayama]] is a well-known singer. In [[Volume 15]] of the manga, Takayama herself is kidnapped and Conan, who sounds similar to her, tries to take her place at a concert. However, despite having similar voices, they sound completely different when it comes to singing.<ref>[[Volume 15|Volume 15, Files 144-146: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref>
* [[Image:EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]He owns two cellphones, the one he uses as Conan and one that he uses as Shinichi. He is also shown using different kinds of cellphones throughout the series.
* Conan often uses the expression "Ah-le-le?" when he is trying to point out a clue, something that is usually said by Japanese grade-schoolers. The expression was even [[The Sullied Masked Hero|said by Kogoro]] out of irritation at Conan (right before Conan tranquilized 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.
* Conan/Shinchi's favorite drink is iced coffee. Shinichi's favorite drink is shown in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]] when Daisuke say's that he isn't the only one who drinks iced coffee throughout the year. The lemon pie does not count as Shinichi's favorite during [[The Memories of First Love Case]] because the woman Asami Uchida, whose first love was Shinichi, told this to Ran and her specialty 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 favorite and it was only brought up during that case alone.

{{nihongo|'''Rei Furuya'''|降谷零|Furuya Rei}}, also known as {{nihongo|'''Tooru Amuro'''|安室透|Amuro Tōru}} and {{nihongo|'''Bourbon'''|バーボン|Bābon}}, is a [[Public Security Bureau|National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning, Chiyoda Division]]<ref name="Postcard2016" /> agent working undercover in the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a recently dispatched operative who specializes in deduction and intelligence gathering and frequently works with [[Vermouth]]. At present, Rei poses as a private detective who works as a waiter at Café Poirot and is [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s apprentice.

== Background ==
Little is known about Rei Furuya as a PSB agent. Most of his appearances are as the Café Poirot waiter and private eye Tooru Amuro, or as the [[Black Organization]] operative Bourbon.

Rei makes his first appearance as Tooru Amuro when acting as a private investigator. He meets [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the Mouris while disguised as a waiter in order to help a client with a case<ref name=f793>[[Volume 75#Private Eye|Volume 75, Files 9-11: "Private Eye"]]</ref>. When Sleeping Kogoro appears to solve a case relating to his client before he can, he claims he wants to learn from [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]<ref name=f793 />. Rei succeeds in becoming his apprentice by offering him a hefty tuition fee as an incentive <ref name=f793 />. Thus, he begins working at Café Poirot, right under the Mouri Detective Agency, to remain close to Kogoro <ref name=f793 />. Presently, he continues to work under this cover.

Bourbon is first mentioned when [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] reports that a new Organization member is on the move, with the goal of capturing the escaped scientist [[Shiho Miyano]]<ref name=622p4>[[Volume 60#Red, White, and Yellow Case|Volume 60, File 3, Page 4: "Red, White and Yellow Case"]]</ref>. Kir reports that Bourbon has excellent information gathering skills and keen insight<ref name=622p4 />. However, Bourbon's first actual appearance is when disguised as [[Scar Akai]]<ref name=704p15>[[Volume 67#Department Store Bomber Case|Volume 67, File 8 (704): "Department Store Bomber Case"]]</ref> in order to determine the veracity of [[Akai Shuichi]]'s death.

Currently, Rei's main appearance as a PSB agent is during the [[The Scarlet Return|Scarlet Showdown]], when he orders around subordinates during the confrontation with [[Yusaku Kudo]] (who was disguised as [[Subaru Okiya]])<ref>[[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|Volume 85, File 4 (897): "Scarlet Truth"]]</ref>. He additionally gives an order to a PSB subordinate, [[Yuya Kazami]], during Haibara's Lost Phone Strap case<ref>[[Volume 94#Haibara's Lost Phone Strap Case|Volume 94, File 6 (998): "Search for the Phone Strap!"]]</ref>.

=== Childhood ===
[[File:Young Rei.png|thumb|right|200px|Young Rei.]]
As a child, it is likely that Rei often got into fights. During the Tense Tea Party case, Rei is shown in a flashback sequence with [[Elena Miyano]]<ref name="889p13">[[Volume 84#Tea Poisoning Murder Case|Volume 84, File 7 (889): "Zero"]]</ref>. During this flashback, Elena chides Rei for fighting and implies that she has treated his injuries more than once<ref name=889p13/>. She additionally calls herself 'sensei', suggesting that Rei had a teacher or doctor-like relationship with her<ref name=889p13/>. During the Black Bunny's Club case, it is revealed that he is half Japanese, which was the main reason for him to get bullied and involved in many fights.

Rei's childhood nickname was 'Zero', which has been used by [[Hiromitsu Morofushi]]<ref name=954p1>[[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|Volume 90, File 6 (954): "Sanction of the Betrayal"]]</ref>, his childhood friend<ref>https://imgur.com/a/y2BAH</ref>.

He is known to have ties with other members of the Miyano family. In the [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Jet-Black Mystery Train]] case, he mentions that he has met [[Shiho Miyano]]'s parents, [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] and [[Atsushi Miyano]], as well as her sister [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]]<ref name=824p5>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Volume 78, File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"]]</ref>.

=== Black Organization ===
At some point in the past, Rei began inflitrating the [[Black Organization]] for the PSB, eventually gaining the codename Bourbon. In the Organization, he works as an agent specializing in deduction and information gathering. [[Gin]] even goes as far to call him a 'great detective like Sherlock Holmes'<ref name=704p15/>.

==== Rivalry with Shuichi Akai ====
During his time in the Organization, at some point Rei became the rival of [[Shuichi Akai]] (alias Dai Moroboshi), he considered Shuichi as a worthy opponent, wanted to compare his capacity with Shuichi and thinks that he is the only one capable of defeating Shuichi. Despite the rivalry, they may have still worked well together. During the [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Unfriendly Girls Band]] case, [[Masumi Sera]] mentions that she spotted Rei, Shuichi, and Hiromitsu on the same train platform<ref name=937p12>[[Volume 88#Girls Band Murder Case|Volume 88, File 11 (937): "The Disappeared Clue"]]</ref>. As Shuichi and Hiromitsu were holding instrument bags that may have held rifles, it is possible that they were on a mission together. Rei additionally suspected that Shuichi was a spy for the FBI<ref name=824p5/>, which turned out to be the case.

Rei's animosity towards Akai Shuichi appears to stem from the death of Hiromitsu, a fellow spy from the PSB and his childhood friend. At some point in the past, Hiromitsu was found out as a NOC and confronted by Shuichi on top of a rooftop<ref name=954p1 />. During this confrontation, Hiromitsu stole away Shuichi's gun and attempted to commit suicide with it. While Shuichi succeeded in talking him down him temporarily, the sound of Rei's steps coming up the stairs distracted Shuichi, allowing Hiromitsu to commit suicide. And so Shuichi, not knowing that Rei was a fellow NOC, pretended that he had been the one to kill Hiromitsu<ref name=954p1 />.

While Rei is aware that Hiromitsu committed suicide<ref name=954p1 />, he don't think it is because of the sound from his steps, believes that Shuichi forced or pressured Hiromitsu into doing it. Thus, he still blames Shuichi for Scotch's death.

== Personality ==
[[File:Amuro Personality.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rei and Ran are happy that Kogoro cracked the code in the [[Detectives' Nocturne]] Case.]]
Rei has a cheerful personality. He is also generous, bringing a plate of sandwiches for the detective agency bought with his money. In more serious situations, he seems to be patient, keeping calm even while others are abusing him. Although somewhat of a "cool type", he does not hide his emotions and is quite expressive. Like other detectives in ''[[Detective Conan]]'', he enjoys presenting his deductions about cases to others. Kogoro calls him "effeminate".

Rei has a darker side. He is manipulative, tricking others into performing certain actions so he can gather information. He favors using psychological traps and catching his enemies offguard. Rei can also be extremely cruel in the pursuit of goals. He planned to run over and hospitalize an elementary school teacher with his car in order to lure out FBI agents, and he would have allowed a suspect destroy his exonerating evidence in order to test Kogoro. Rei alternates between going out of his way to care about the wellbeing others and ignoring them when it is inconvenient. As Scar Akai, he saved Conan at the [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group|Teito bank heist]], but neglected to inform Ran and Kogoro later when he noticed that Conan might have been kidnapped by a murderer in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].

[[Gin]] says Bourbon has a secretive personality like [[Vermouth]], and that no one can ever guess what he's up to or what he will do.<ref name=703p3/> [[Vodka]] says that Bourbon hates Shuichi Akai even more than Gin does, presumably because Rei thinks that Akai killed Scotch.<ref name=703p3/> Bourbon believes he is the only person capable of killing Akai.<ref name=703p3/> Gin said that if Bourbon found out Akai was alive, he would surely boast that his suspicion was correct.<ref name=703p3/> Gin and Bourbon probably don't get along and they don't seem to communicate with one another.<ref name=703p3/> 
{{clear}}

== Appearance ==
[[File:Low res Amuro colored.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Colored drawing by Gosho Aoyama]]
Rei is a good-looking man (claimed by [[Sonoko]] and [[Ayumi]]) with dark skin, lighter than, but closer to [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]]'s color and has brown hair <ref> "Lets Talk with Gosho Day 2014" : Amuro-san’s white hair… is that dyed? Aah.Rather than white it’s brown. I can’t answer this. His dark skin too, there is a profound meaning behind it. (laughs) </ref> He wears glasses at first, but it is unknown if he actually needs them because he was using them to conceal his identity at the time and takes them off midway through the case and has not had them on since. Unlike other Black Organization members, he mostly dresses casually with little black.
{{clear}}

== Abilities ==
=== Deduction and intelligence ===
Rei is a good detective with excellent information gathering skills. He is noted by Kir as a threatening member of the Black Organization with keen insight. As Rei remains undercover as Kogoro's apprentice, he is not as flashy in showing his true deduction skills, instead leading Kogoro with hints to reach conclusions. His friend, [[Wataru Date]], said Rei was the smartest student at the police academy.<ref name=807p11>Manga [[Volume 77]], File 1 (807), pg 11: "The Strongest Senpai"</ref>

=== Keen Observation Skills===
He claimed that he always knew that Akai was an 'FBI Dog,' which shows that he may have the observation skills to deteck fellow NOCs, who infiltrated the Black Organization.

He obviously knew Scotch was, since they both came from the same organization.

In The Darkest Nightmare, Curaçao infiltrated the Public Security Bureau in order to discover their Black Organization NOC List. It not only listed Rei, himself as code name Bourbon, but the following undercover NOCs:

MI6 -Stout -Male

BND -Reisling -Leona Buchholz -Female

CSIS -Aquavit -Male

FBI -Rye -Moroboshi Dai -Akai Shuichi -Male

CIA -Kir -Mizunashi Rena -Hondou Hidemi -Female

NPA -Bourbon -Amuro Tooru -Furuya Rei -Male

Obviously, Rei's name would be on that list, since it his own bureau, although how did they find out about all of the other NOCs from various countries, and agencies, unless Rei told his Japanese Public Security Agency his suspicions on these other code named Black Organization Operatives, and they investigated them, and discovered that they were other Nocs, and chose to include them in one Black Organization NOC Database.

It sounds like what they did, which did endanger fellow NOCs.

Thank goodness, it did not include a deceased or Living category, otherwise, it would have allowed the Black Organization to discover that Akai is alive and well.

He used these skills when he was walking around Jodie, Camel, and Masumi as Scar Akai, since he was disguised as Akai with a burn mark near his right eye in order to discover if Shuichi was alive or dead, however it did not allow him to figure out the truth, since none of those three were let in on the secret at the time, so they all reacted like they saw a ghost.

By the way, his own observation skills is what allowed him to figure out that Conan was the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro in Episode 706 Bourbon Figures it Out, which is when he began investigating Conan.

In Episode 734 Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap, he placed a bug on Jodie, after she had already met up with Conan, and began listening to their conversation. Part of their conversation included mentioning how Conan helped them to discover the Black Organization spy, Rikumichi Kusuda, who had infiltrated the Haido Central Hospital in order to locate Kir.

This information allowed him to discover Kusada was the key to investigating Akai's death. After he discovered that Kusada commited suicide and shot himself in the head in his own car, all of the pieces fit together.

By investigating Conan, he began investigating those who have recently entered Conan's life, and the very next night with that newly discovered suicide information, appeared to confront Subaru Okiya (Kudo Yusaku in disguise), at the Kudo Residence.

His observation Skills also allowed him to see that Conan planned everything in Akai's Fake Death instance, including the conclusion of his sentence, stating that Conan predicted everything perfectly as it played out at Raiha Pass.

=== Driving ===
Rei is a capable driver, capable of precisely swinging his car in front of another during a high speed car chase in order to stop it with a controlled collision.

=== Tennis ===
Rei is an excellent tennis player. He claimed he was a junior champion in middle school, but quit after he injured his shoulder.<ref name=825p7>Manga Volume 78, File 8 (825), pg 7: "Special Coach"</ref> He offered to tutor [[Sonoko]] who had surpassed her teammates and friends.

=== First aid ===
When Conan received a concussion from an errant tennis racket, Rei "carried out the procedures pretty efficiently" before the doctor even arrived.<ref name=825p11>Manga Volume 78, File 8 (825), pg 11: "Special Coach"</ref>

=== Lockpicking ===
Rei seems to carry lockpicks with him and was able to lockpick a door fairly quickly. He claimed he learned it from a friend in a security company.<ref name=825p15>Manga Volume 78, File 8 (825), pg 15: "Special Coach"</ref> Japan's law prohibits possession of any lock picking tools and carries a penalty of one year imprisonment or a 500,000 yen fine.<ref>[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%89%B9%E6%AE%8A%E9%96%8B%E9%8C%A0%E7%94%A8%E5%85%B7%E3%81%AE%E6%89%80%E6%8C%81%E3%81%AE%E7%A6%81%E6%AD%A2%E7%AD%89%E3%81%AB%E9%96%A2%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E6%B3%95%E5%BE%8B Japan Possession of Lock-picking Tools Act - Wikipedia]</ref>

=== Martial arts ===
Rei is good at boxing,<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__view__findpost__p__287218 青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY] (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013 安室はボクシングをしている。 (Amuro is doing boxing.)</ref> shown when a single punch to an attacker's gut causes him to spray blood from the mouth and collapse.<ref name=843p15>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 4 (843), pg 15: "A parcel for Kudo-samakata"</ref> At his introductory case, Rei displayed agility as he swiftly dodged a swinging punch from a customer. Rei also likely knows some [[Wikipedia:Jujutsu|Jujutsu]] from his time in police academy; Jujutsu is routinely taught to Tokyo police officers to aid in suspect immobilization and arrest. [[Wataru Date]] said Rei was the strongest student at the police academy.<ref name=807p11/> 

=== Guitar ===
Rei has pro-level guitar skills. <ref name=936p6>Manga Volume 88, File 6 (936), pg 6: "Girls Band"</ref>

=== Ski ===
Rei has a high capability to ski and even replaced [[Kogoro Mouri]] for professional ski lessons in Gunma. He can easily do off-track skiing also and jump off cliffs to save lost people. It is unknown if he can do snowboard also. <ref>Zero's Tea Time file 24: Doggy!</ref>

=== Cooking ===
Rei is noted to be a good chef and baker in his work at Poirot. He often invents new recipes for the café, perfecting them to the point where Conan often jokes that he is taking his waiter job too seriously.

=== Shuichi Akai Sense ===
Rei seems to be able to sense the presence of Shuichi Akai, whether he is Akai or disguised as Subaru.
It probably became stronger, after Scotch's death, since he blames and is convinced that Akai murdered his friend, Scotch.

== Mission ==
Bourbon's primary mission was to search for the escaped scientist [[Shiho Miyano]], which the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spy [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] heard about and informed the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] of. He also had a second secret mission fueled by his hunch that his archenemy Shuichi Akai should not have died so easily;<ref name=703p3>Manga [[Volume 67]], File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm"</ref> he received the [[The Boss|boss]]' permission to verify Shuichi's death. He approached the FBI as [[Scar Akai|an Shuichi lookalike]] by using [[Vermouth]]'s disguise help hoping to see if Akai was truly dead.<ref name=824p7>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824), pg 7: "Final Destination"</ref> He later apprenticed himself to [[Kogoro Mouri]] because Bourbon suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry.<ref name=827p16>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 10 (827), pg 16: "The key to solving the mystery"</ref> (Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] and assumed that Sherry planted it.)

Currently, Bourbon thinks Shiho has been killed,<ref name=824p12>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824), pg 12: "Final Destination"</ref> and had come to believe Shuichi was dead as well until a suspicious man shrouded by smoke threw a grenade by him on the [[Volume_78#Mystery_Train|Mystery Express]].<ref name=824p16>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824), pg 16: "Final Destination"</ref> The sighting caused Bourbon to second guess himself and request that Vermouth show him the detailed files from before and after Shuichi's death again.<ref name=824p16/> Bourbon has also decided to continue as Kogoro's apprentice because he noticed [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is the real brains behind "Sleeping Kogoro" and is curious.<ref name=827p16/>

One of the most important missions of Bourbon, however, is implied that he infiltrates and undermines the Black Organization like Kir. Shuichi Akai has revealed that Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to the [[The Boss|boss]].

After the Shinichi Kudo's uproar has been calmed down by the blogger who claims that the Shinichi he saw was an illusion, and [[Heiji Hattori]] who claims that the one they saw was [[Soshi Okita]] instead, [[Rum]] sends en email to Bourbon giving him his new mission; to gather information about [[Shinichi Kudo]], telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money". Bourbon eventually accepts his new mission.

== Plot overview ==
{{main|Rei Furuya timeline}}
=== Childhood ===
When Rei was a child he got in fights with other children. When this happened he would get bandaged up by Elena Miyano. It is revealed later that he would consistently pick fights so that he could see her and receive care. At one point she told him that she had to move far away and would not be able to bandage him up again. Because of his affiliation with Elena, he also met Akemi Miyano, Elena's first child, as a kid as well. The extent of their relationship is not yet revealed. As a child Rei had the nickname "Zero". In a chapter in Zero's tea time, Elena seems to be the one who taught him how to ride a bike.

=== National Police Association ===

=== Black Organization ===
==== With Hiromitsu Morofushi ====
[[Shuichi Akai]] (Rye), Rei Furuya (Bourbon), and [[Hiromitsu Morofushi]] (Scotch) were all members of the [[Black Organization]] at a point four years ago. Between four years ago and two years ago, Shuichi was found by Rei, standing over Hiromitsu's dead body holding a smoking gun. Ever since then Rei has blamed Shuichi and has sought out to kill him.

==== Scar Akai ====
{{main|Scar Akai}}[[File:Scar Akai.jpg|right]]
Before Rei Furuya appeared as Tooru Amuro, he disguised as [[Scar Akai|Shuichi with a large burn]] with [[Vermouth]]'s help. In this disguise, he approached the close friends of [[Shuichi Akai]] to gauge whether he was truly dead. Rei first used the disguise to approach [[Jodie Starling]] at [[Teito Bank]], then [[Andre Camel]] at [[Beika Department Store]], he also sends Kogoro a text message on his deduction of the current case using a borrowed phone from a bystander. Whether he did this out of concern for the hostages or his own well being is not mentioned.

[[File:Amuro abuse.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Amuro gets knocked over by a case suspect]]
After that Rei Furuya appeared as a private investigator on a case, where he runs into Kogoro and Conan. Through this interaction he became Kogoro's apprentice and monitored his actions by working at the Poirot Cafe below the Detective Agency. During this monitoring, he saw a video of [[Shiho Miyano]] with a Mystery Train Pass ring, resulting in a [[Black Organization]] attack in an attempt to kill her on the train. Later, through information gathered from Jodie, Takagi, and Camel, he managed to discover the truth behind Shuichi Akai's death. Now that he knows that knows he is alive, he wishes to kill Shuichi himself as a way of getting revenge for Shuichi killing [[Scotch]].

== Hints that Tooru Amuro was Bourbon ==
* The character Tooru Amuro is named after, Amuro Ray, is the mortal enemy of the character [[Shuichi Akai]] is named after, Char Aznable.
* He is a detective and very skilled at information gathering as Kir described.
* He is male as the codename Bourbon implies. The [[Black Organization]] codename pattern is that hard liquors are used for men's codenames, and [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] used a male specific pronoun to refer to Bourbon in the [[Volume_67#Department_Store_Bomber_Case|Department Store Bomber Case]].<ref name=703p3elab>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm" Kir uses the masculine only term "kare" (彼) to refer to Bourbon instead of a gender neutral term.</ref>
* He has a type of personality [[Gin]] would not like. Gin thinks Bourbon is irritating.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8, pages 13-14: "Silent Clash"</ref>
* When Rei offers Kogoro an unknown "tuition" per case Kogoro brings him on, the amount he offers is enough to get Kogoro excited and accept Rei as an apprentice without hesitation. This is strange because Rei would not be expected to have much money because he is young, lacks a formal agency, and works part time at restaurants in one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.
* Unlike other detectives so far, Rei is a calculating type who chose avoidable courses of action (or non-action) that may have resulted in harm to others if things had gone slightly differently. In his introductory case, Rei doesn't intervene when a suspect he knows to be innocent is half a step from destroying his exonerating evidence because it seems Rei was testing Kogoro. Later, Rei noticed that Conan was alone with a murderer and considered that Conan might have been kidnapped, yet said nothing about it until others realized Conan and the murder suspect were gone.
* The timing of Bourbon's report to [[Vermouth]] about [[Volume_77#Cabin_Trap|Shiho's appearance at Gunma]] suggested Rei was Bourbon. The other two Bourbon suspects, [[Subaru Okiya|Subaru]] and [[Masumi]], both had seen Haibara and were suspicious of her long before Bourbon reported Shiho to Vermouth, but the video from Gunma was the first time Rei had seen an image of Shiho or Haibara. Subaru had met Haibara in person in his [[Volume_60#Red.2C_White.2C_and_Yellow_Case|first appearance case]] and multiple times afterward. Masumi had obtained a picture of Haibara via a reflection from Agasa's glasses in the [[Volume_74#Target_on_Tape|Ayumi kidnapping case]]. Both of them should have reported to Vermouth if they were Bourbon soon after their respective encounters.
* He completely cut off communication with his close friend [[Wataru Date]]. A complete cutoff would not be necessary if Rei worked for a non-secret organization like the Tokyo Metropolitan Police District. It is more sensible that Rei was trying to protect Date from any potential dangers associated with infiltrating the Black Organization as a member of the National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning Division.
* Rei kept a bug detector with him - only Organization members have been shown to do this, while normal detectives like Conan do not.
* In 793, the first case in which appears Rei, the detective Sanji Haruoka order to the waiter (Rei himself) to bring him the Bourbon with ice.
* Amuro is the most likely suspect of the three (Subaru, Masumi, Amuro) to be Bourbon via the process of elimination. Subaru Okiya is not Bourbon, as Conan, who is normally a very careful person, invites him to stay as his Shinichi's home. If Subaru was someone that Conan did not know, it would be very unlikely that Conan would let him live in the Kudo's house and near Haibara (Sherry). Masumi Sera who looks like Shuichi Akai, is most likely a relative of the FBI agent and thus not an enemy. She also knew Conan was Shinichi, and thus must have deduced that shrinking was possible. Despite knowing this, Haibara was not threatened until her adult form was captured on video prior to the mystery train case.
* Of the three major suspects, only Amuro isn't particularly interested in Conan at first. Instead he kisses up to Kogoro. There was no reason for a member of the Black Organization to care about Conan since all the blame for Conan's prior meddling has fallen on Sherry, Kogoro, the FBI, or an unknown person. The other two suspects, Subaru and Masumi, either were interested in or knew Conan's true identity from the outset.


=== Hints that Scar Akai was Tooru Amuro/Bourbon ===
[[File:Scar Akai.jpg|right|200px|]]
:''For the former theory, please see [[Scar Akai is Bourbon Theory]]'' 
While [[Scar Akai]] was played by Vermouth during the last appearance on the train, Bourbon had been Scar Akai during the three earlier appearances at [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group|Teito Bank]], [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|Beika Department Store]], and outside [[Volume 76#Domestic Violence|Mouri Detective Agency]].<ref>Manga File 824, pg 5: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> The evidence that Rei being Scar Akai these times was:
* In Scar Akai's appearance at the Beika Dept. Store, Rei was the only known Black Organization operative not seen at the same time time as Scar Akai. Gin began discussing Bourbon with Kir after seeing this Scar Akai. 
* Rei was absent from his job at the Poirot when Scar Akai appeared outside the detective agency where Masumi was walking with Ran. This also notable because this occurred right after Masumi and Rei met and Rei found out Masumi was friends with Ran.
* In Scar Akai's appearances at the Teito Bank case, the Beika Dept Store, and outside Mouri Detective Agency, he never spoke in front of anyone who would know Shuichi's real voice, suggesting that this Scar Akai could not imitate voices like Vermouth and Kaito kid.
* Rei is right-handed like Scar Akai.
* He has the right body size, face shape, and height to disguise as Scar Akai.
* He has an interest in the Mouri Detective Agency which makes sense because [[Scar Akai is Bourbon Theory#Bourbon.27s investigation- He suspects Kir is a traitor.|Scar Akai saw fit to keep Kogoro's cellphone number with him]].
* Rei's hypothetical disguise suggestion in 795, a knit cap and long windbreaker, are articles of clothing Shuichi Akai and Scar Akai wear respectively.

=== Hints that Tooru Amuro was a NPA undercover agent ===
* Tooru attended police academy and was close friends with police officer [[Wataru Date]]. Amuro cut off contact with Date to protect him from the Black Organization's investigation while infiltrating. Tooru later paid his respects at the grave of detective Wataru Date.<ref>Manga Volume 77, File 808, Page 16: "The Late Grave Visit"</ref>
* Tooru reacted negatively to the presence of the FBI investigating illegally in Japan. He told them to "get out of his Japan" because they were infringing on his and the PSB's jurisdiction.

* Tooru was able to amass a number of assistants to help him capture the person he thought was Shuichi Akai despite not having the backing of the Black Organization with his plan. The assistants were members of the National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning Division.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Hiromitsu Morofushi ====
[[Hiromitsu Morofushi]] and Rei Furuya were friends since childhood, and they attended the police academy together, along with Date, Hagiwara, and Matsuda. He work undercover as an undercover agent in the [[Black Organization]] under the codename Scotch, along with Rei. However, Hiromitsu got killed during undercover. His death appears to be caused by Shuichi Akai, which is the reason behind Rei's vendetta against him, and puts a much deeper perspective on Rei's hatred toward Akai.

==== Wataru Date ====
[[File:Amuro deletes message.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Amuro deleting Date's message.]]
[[Wataru Date]] and Rei Furuya were friends in the police academy; Rei was the top ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else and fell out of contact with Date for unknown reasons. Date's last text to Rei asked him where he was and chided Rei to communicate once in a while. Rei was shown visiting Date's grave, and likely left a toothpick out of respect for Date; Date used them habitually.
Date had called Rei for a gentleman like detective Takagi.
{{clear}}

==== Jinpei Matsuda ====
[[File:Matsuda.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rei remembers Matsuda.]]
[[Jinpei Matsuda]] and Rei Furuya were friends in the police academy. In [[The Darkest Nightmare]], Matsuda was recounted by Rei that he is the one to teach him how to deactivate a bomb.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
Rei seems to respect [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s intelligence and also seems to look out for Conan as well. He wound up protecting Conan while disguised as [[Scar Akai]] at the Teito Bank, and as Rei helped Conan get out of a kidnapping situation and doctored him when Conan took a racket to the head. Before knowing he was Bourbon, Conan was generally friendly towards Rei. After the events of the Bell Tree Express, dealing with Rei hanging around has become awkward for Conan especially because he worries for Ran's safety around a member of the Black Organization.

Although his mission concerning Sherry is over, Rei has decided to investigate Conan. Rei seems to know that Conan is using Mouri Kogoro as a puppet for his deductions. He also overheard a conversation between Jodie and Conan about how Conan helped the FBI fight the Black Organization while [[Kir]] was at Haido Central Hospital.

[https://postimg.cc/GHxPZLsL Conan with a Disguised Bourbon in background]

In the above picture in the episode of Jodie's Memories, when Conan was using Agasa for his deduction, Conan was standing behind Agasa. A disguised Bourbon was standing in front of the crowd, although he may have repositioned himself slightly see Conan speaking behind a wide awake 'Mouthing" Agasa.

He told [[Vermouth]] that Conan is a terrifying man.

He comments that Conan is a terrifying man.

During the Teacher Assault Case, Conan indirectly asks Rei if he is undercover in the Black Organization, whispering, "You are an enemy, right? Of the bad guys..." unaware that Rei was wearing a wire at the time, monitored by Vermouth. To throw off suspicion, Rei assures Conan in a very threatening manner that Conan was mistaken. After the Scarlet Showdown, however, Conan approaches Rei in Poirot Cafe and calls him a liar. Rei returns the favor, the two of them exchanging knowing smiles.

In [[Zero the Enforcer]], It was revealed that [[Edogawa Conan|Conan]] was addresed as one of Rei's superiour. Its was shown when Rei was talking to [[Yuya Kazami|Kazami]] on a Bridge in Tokyo.

By Episode 926 The Heartfelt Strap, Conan trust Amuro enough that he actually used his Voice Changing Bow Tie in loudspeaker mode, in front of him at a beach.

As of Episode 954 The Unsolved Cocktail Case, when he broke into the Kudu home, so that he can find out information about Kudo Shinichi, as ordered by Rum, and had the altercation with an unmasked Akai, and both of Shinichi's 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 Japanese Secret Police- Public Security Bureau, plant phony incriminating evidence against Kogoro Mouri for a bombing incident.

Conan even placed a bug on Kazami, and that bug was forcefully removed in front of him by Amuro.
It really appeared that Amuro was being a real thorn to Conan in that movie, although that was not Amuro's real intention at all.

That explosion could have been classified as an accident, which would have been impossible for the Public Security Bureau to investigate, so Amuro decided to give them a suspect. By involving Kogoro, he knew that Conan would begin investigating the explosion, which even he, himself would have a hard time investigating it himself, since he is a Black Organization Implant from the Japanese Secret Police Division-Public Security Bureau.

While Kogoro was still having legal problems, Amuro had Kazami get in contact with one of their lawyer collaborators for her to defend Kogoro, and get him off, not knowing that she hates the Public Security Bureau with a passion, and chose to betray them. In short, if the real culprit of the bombing was not found, Kogoro was not going to be getting off at all.

After a lot more appliances are going haywire, Conan came up with the fact that it is a IOT Terrorist Attack, and he even discovered the Culprit. Around this time, the Public Security Bureau allowed evidence to reach their prosecuter, that Mouri's computer may have been hacked, and he was released. (Considering the prosecuter knew it was planted in the first place, but they needed a suspect, however they also wanted to protect their suspect, which is why he was removed from the police station, and they chose to prosecute him almost as soon as he was arrested, so that they could move him to probably a more secure location.) Since they now know it is a terrorist attack, they no longer needed a phony suspect, so he was released from custody.

After Conan began his trek to meet up with the culprit, Amuro began following him, and they had a short talk, before Conan told him that he was on his way to meet the suspect.

Conan began skateboarding, followed by Amuro in his car. However, there was another IOT Terrorist attack, which affected cars and vehicles, which Amuro was caught up in. After his car did a stunt and stopped, he told Conan to continue on ahead.

However, in that movie, they both were each other's collaborators or cooperators at different times.
Amuro was Conan's when it came stopping a space shuttle thing heading back to the planet from crashing into where the Tokyo Metropolitan Headquarters, and later, where everyone was really being evacuated to.

At the end of the movie, he explained the reason that they framed Kogoro, and everything else, but the framing was so that Conan can do what he was unable to do, which is to investigate. This way, he was able to use Conan as a Collaborator, and to rely on his strength.

Although Conan stated, "You overestimate me, " it sound like their relationship is back on a positive note, before they headed opposite ways.

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Amuro wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]]
Rei tends to act ingratiating 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}}

==== Yuya Kazami ====
[[File:Yuya Kazami.jpg|100px|right]]
Yuya Kazami is a Rei's direct subordinate who first appeared in the movie 20,''[[The Darkest Nightmare]]''. Recently, he has officially appeared in manga, as Rei's subordinate as well.
{{clear}}

==== Hyoue Kuroda ====
It was revealed in [[Movie 22]] that Kuroda is Zero/Rei's superior in the Public Security Bureau. It was shown when he received orders from him through a phone call. Kuroda is also aware of his involvement with the Black Organisation; adressing him by his codename "Bourbon".<ref>[[Volume_96#File_1017_-_It.27s_Not_.22Mike.22.2C_But...|File 1017]]</ref>

==== Kenji Hagiwara ====
[[Kenji Hagiwara]] and Rei Furuya were friends in the police academy.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Shuichi Akai====
Since joining the Black Organization, Rei has always considered [[Shuichi Akai]] as a worthy rival, he want to compare his capacity with Shuichi and think he is the only one who could defeat Shuichi. Shuichi always show a respectful towards Rei, he admits Rei's capability and feels interest everytime he faces Rei, he also made Rei felt quite confused sometimes. Their relationship is becoming more bitter and dramatic when Rei misunderstood Shuichi killed his best friend - Scotch, but actually the one who indirectly caused Scotch to die was Rei himself. Shuichi chooses to keep a secret, continues to let Rei misunderstand him instead of letting Rei know that painful truth. Over time, Shuichi appears to help and protect Rei in some cases, he gradually wants to compensate for the losses which Rei has experienced, he also reveals that he doesn't want to be Rei's enemy. For now, Rei is temporarily lowering his hatred to working well with Shuichi and Conan in destroying the Black Organization.

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:783-6.jpg|thumb|200px|Vermouth threatens Bourbon for holding hostage a critical secret of hers as insurance.]]
[[Vermouth]] and Bourbon keep close contact with one another, and seem to be closer to one another than, say, Bourbon and Gin. Bourbon specializes in intelligence gathering, so he likely belongs to the same [[Black_Organization#Organization_structure_and_divisions|reconnaissance division of the Black Organization]] as Vermouth. While it is still uncertain whether Bourbon is working directly under Vermouth, she seems to keep track of his actions during his missions at times,<ref>[[Detectives' Nocturne]]</ref> and he also often informs her about his discoveries or his future plans.<ref>[[Volume 78|File 818]] (Bourbon was said to have told Vermouth about Sherry's video); [[Volume 78|File 827]] (Bourbon tells Vermouth that he is now interested in "Sleeping Kogoro")</ref> Vermouth helped Bourbon create a [[Scar Akai|disguise]] that looked like Akai so he can investigate his enemy's death. Later, she somehow helped him approach [[Kogoro]] because he suspected that the detective was in contact with [[Sherry]]. Bourbon made an unknown promise to Vermouth (in File 955, it was revealed that Bourbon promised Vermouth to not let any harm comes to Conan and Ran no matter what happens.) , and she calls to ask him if he will be upholding it after the car chase in [[Detectives' Nocturne]]. 

The two have shown to be working together, not unlike Gin and Vodka, though the bond and trust between them are somewhat lacking. In addition to Bourbon's promise to Vermouth, he is also aware of her secret relationship to the boss, as noted at the end of the Scarlet Showdown. Bourbon utilizes this information to enlist Vermouth's assistance in his investigations, arranging for her secret to be released to the other members of the Organization if he is killed by her.

==== Elena Miyano ====
Rei was probably close with [[Elena Miyano]] as a child before she died. Elena would doctor Rei after he got into fights. She is also aware of his true name, calling him "Rei-kun, however this is shown to be before her husband went to work for the Carasuma Group, when she was 3 months pregnant for Miyano Shiho/ Haibara Ai/ Sherry."[[File:Rei Furuya with Elena Miyano flashback.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Amuro remembers Elena Miyano]]

==== Gin ====
[[Gin]] dislikes Bourbon's personality and finds him annoying for being secretive and always doing what he pleases. At the same time, Gin respects Bourbon's detective abilities. The two do not seem to be in contact with one another, as Gin has no idea what Bourbon is doing.

==== Akemi Miyano ====
[[Akemi Miyano]] and Rei seem to have met at some point because Akemi told Shiho that Bourbon has a rivalry with Akai. The moment where they met for this time, although not specified if it was, in the flashback of [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case]] they are shown together, when a younger Akemi tries to bring Rei to her mother's office in order to heal up his wounds.

==== Shiho Miyano ====
Rei doesn't seem to have any hostility towards [[Shiho Miyano|Shiho]] unlike other Black Organization members. He attempted to capture the person he thought was her alive instead of trying to kill her, regretting he might have to resort to violence to do so. Rei says he had met Elena and Atsushi Miyano while they were alive. Rei does not know Shiho is [[Ai Haibara|Ai]]. During a car chase in [[Detectives' Nocturne‎]], Shiho gets a strong feeling that member of the Black Organization was behind her, but she doesn't seem to pinpoint it to Rei's pursuing [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Mazda RX-7 2|Mazda FD RX-7]].

=== Others ===
==== Masumi Sera ====
Rei first saw [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] at a train station four years ago. He approached Scotch while he was teaching Masumi several notes on a base guitar. It is unknown whether he saw that she was connected to Shuichi at that time.

Much later when Conan gets kidnapped by a murderer they cross each-other's paths again. After both of them save Conan, he becomes very surprised to see her and wonders why she is there and presumably notices that she looks similar to Shuichi Akai. The next day Rei takes the day off from his job at Poirot cafe. In order to confirm his theory, Rei once again disguises himself as [[Scar Akai]] in order to gauge her reaction. Suddenly, Masumi sees him in the crowd ahead and just like Jodie and Camel, Masumi becomes just as shocked by his appearance. She runs after him, but he disappears before she can catch him. Ran wonders who Masumi was chasing, but Masumi replies she thought it was someone she knew. Masumi silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was. While Rei watches her from a little ahead, confirming his suspicion that Masumi is related to Akai.

During another case, Masumi recalls a time that she saw her brother in a train station four years ago with Scotch, who taught her the basics of a bass guitar. Masumi believes that the man who approached them at that time wearing a hat that hid his face must have been Rei. However, each time she asks him if they have met before, he avoids the question. When she announces aloud that her brother's name is [[Shuichi Akai]], Rei inwardly comments that her brother had killed Scotch.

Despite his hatred toward Akai, it doesn't seem like he is letting it cloud his judgment toward Masumi

== Speculation ==
Gin has revealed that Bourbon is as secretive as Vermouth. Bourbon has shown a friendly relationship with Vermouth but not with other members so far. Bourbon even hid some details from Conan. It is possible that Bourbon, as well as Kir, is a member who doesn´t like the Organization. Date himself revealed that Bourbon was the best man at the police academy, and that Bourbon was a gentleman like Takagi, too. Besides, at the end of Takagi´s Kidnapping Case, Bourbon refers to Date as "my friend", which means he had no option but to cut all means of contact with him for his own safety.

== Name origin ==
Tooru Amuro has a [[Wikipedia: Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] inspired name. He is named after the main protagonist [[Wikipedia: Amuro Ray|'''Amuro''' Ray]], and Amuro's voice actor [[Tohru Furuya|'''Tohru''' Furuya]].<ref>Sherry's Soliloquy http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/2609-file-793-private-eye/page__view__findpost__p__207297</ref> Amuro is also played by Furuya in the animated series. His real name, Rei Furuya, shares the same source.

Rei Furuya timeline

2020-10-11T01:30:04Z

Tracy Firestone: /* A Shrine to Remember (Manga: 850-852, Anime: 734) */

== History ==
=== Childhood ===
Rei is confirmed to be half-Japanese. When he was a child, he often got into fights with other children because he was bullied for his mixed ethnicity. Whenever this happened he would get bandaged up by [[Elena Miyano]]. At one point, she told him that she had to move far away and would not be able to bandage him up again.

As a child, Rei had the nickname "Zero", based on his first name and given to him by his childhood friend [[Hiromitsu Morofushi]].

=== National Police Association ===
Rei attended police academy with [[Hiromitsu Morofushi]], [[Wataru Date]], [[Jinpei Matsuda]], and [[Kenji Hagiwara]]. According to [[Wataru Date]], Rei was always ranked first in his year. Following his graduation, he went on to join the [[Public Security Bureau]] as a member of the Zero division, and at some point received the assignment to become an undercover agent in the [[Black Organization]] along with Hiromitsu.

=== Black Organization ===
==== With Hiromitsu Morofushi ====
[[Shuichi Akai]] (Rye), [[Rei Furuya]] (Bourbon), and [[Hiromitsu Morofushi]] (Scotch) were all members of the [[Black Organization]] at a point four years ago. Between four years ago and two years ago, Shuichi was found by Rei, standing over Hiromitsu's dead body holding a smoking gun. Ever since then Rei has blamed Shuichi and has sought out to kill him.

==== Scar Akai ====
{{main|Scar Akai}}[[File:Scar Akai.jpg|right]]
After learning that Shuichi Akai had been killed by [[Kir]], Rei began disguising as [[Scar Akai|Shuichi with a large burn]] with [[Vermouth]]'s help. In this disguise, he approached the close friends of [[Shuichi Akai]] to gauge whether he was truly dead. Rei first used the disguise to approach [[Jodie Starling]] at [[Teito Bank]], then [[Andre Camel]] at [[Beika Department Store]], he also sends Kogoro a text message on his deduction of the current case using a borrowed phone from a bystander. Whether he did this out of concern for the hostages or his own well being is not mentioned.

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[File:Amuro abuse.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Amuro gets knocked over by a case suspect]]
After that Rei Furuya appeared as a private investigator on a case, where he runs into Kogoro and Conan. Through this interaction he became Kogoro's apprentice and monitored his actions by working at the Poirot Cafe below the Detective Agency. During this monitoring, he saw a video of [[Shiho Miyano]] with a Mystery Train Pass ring, resulting in a [[Black Organization]] attack in an attempt to kill her on the train. Later, through information gathered from Jodie, Takagi, and Camel, he managed to discover the truth behind Shuichi Akai's death. Now that he knows that knows he is alive, he wishes to kill Shuichi himself as a way of getting revenge for Shuichi killing Hiromitsu.

Jodie passes this information onto [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. After hearing that Bourbon is on the move, Conan looks concerned, but doesn't tell [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] about him.<ref name=622p6>Manga Volume 60, File 3, Page 6: "Red, White and Yellow"</ref>

=== Amuro's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 75#Private Eye|793-795]], Anime: [[Wedding Eve|667-668]]) ===
Rei (under the alias Tooru Amuro) is hired by to-be-bride Hatsune Kamon to investigate whether her to-be-husband, Raita Banba, is cheating on her. As part of the investigation, Rei tells Kamon to have their pre-wedding celebration at the restaurant, Ristorante Sundayrino, where he works as a waiter. He purposefully drops some cake on Banba's pants trying to make Banba too embarrassed to approach women later. Banba complains about Amuro's "mistake", but Kamon tells Amuro it's alright to protect him. Banba later gets drunk, and Amuro has to point out his phone is ringing.

Banba goes to the bathroom to meet the person who called him, the detective Sanji Haruka, who Banba hired to find out if Kamon was cheating on him. Sanji had been following the wife and discovered her meeting with Amuro, so Sanji mistakenly reports Kamon is having an affair with Amuro. Sanji confirms Amuro has a matching voice by asking Amuro to repeat his order, a bourbon on the rocks.

Banba is furious at Amuro and begins to harass him; like shouldering him and knocking Amuro over in front of the other waiters. Later Kamon dies in a car fire that is ruled an arson, and Banba accuses Amuro of starting it because he is Kamon's lover. Amuro denies this and says that Banba may have been trying to disguise wounds he received while fighting with Kamon by tripping Amuro. Amuro then takes off his glasses and reveals himself to be a private detective hired by Kamon, not her lover.

[[File:Enthusiastic apprentice.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Amuro becomes Kogoro's apprentice]]
After Amuro correctly gives his deduction that Sanji was a detective hired by Banba, Kogoro accuses Amuro of driving Kamon to suicide by telling her about her husband's shameless flirting, but Amuro denies contacting Kamon by phone. Amuro accuses Banba of being the murderer, which antagonizes Banba into to rushing him. Amuro dodges and trips Banba and asks Kogoro to hold Banba's legs. From the condition of the bottom of Banba's shoes and Amuro's detailed background investigation of Banba and Kamon, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is able to deduce that Kamon's death was really a suicide. Amuro continues to accuse Banba after more DNA evidence comes in, but Conan prevents his arrest by using [[Kogoro#Detective_Skills|Sleeping Kogoro]] to ask Banba a critical question that reveals he never stepped outside. Amuro challenges Kogoro's deduction, suggesting that maybe Banba used a [[Shuichi Akai|knit cap]] and [[Scar Akai|long windbreaker]] to disguise himself, but Sleeping Kogoro counters by pointing out the condition of Banba's shoes. Defeated, Amuro demands Kogoro explain the matching DNA, which he does, revealing that Kamon and Banba are identical twins, but Kamon had a chromosomal abnormality that resulted in her being phenotypically female. Humbled, Amuro explains the abnormality condition to those present which [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] confirms.

One day later, Amuro has started work as a waiter at [[Setting#Cafe_Poirot|Café Poirot]] below [[Setting#The_Mouri_Detective_Agency|Mouri Detective Agency]]. He asks Kogoro if he can be Kogoro's apprentice and whispers some unheard amount of money per case that he is will pay if Kogoro brings Amuro along with him. The amount thrills Kogoro into accepting Amuro's offer immediately. Conan mentally moans about how yet another bothersome person has appeared.

=== Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: [[Volume 76#Online Client|796-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|671-674]]) ===
[[Image:Amuro Sandwich.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Amuro brings some sandwiches hoping to join Kogoro on a case.]]
While Kogoro and the gang are watching a news report on a recent bank robbery, Amuro stops by with sandwiches from the Poirot after finishing his part time job for the day. After commenting on the robbery, Amuro reveals that he wants the scoop on Kogoro's newest case request after deducing from Kogoro's appearance and habits that Kogoro had a case. Kogoro gets a text from the client requesting that Kogoro switch the meeting location to the [[Setting#Cafe_Columbo|Café Columbo]], and Amuro goes with them after changing out of his work clothes. At the Columbo, Kogoro explains to Amuro the request was to find the locker a key belongs to. The client fails to show, so Amuro, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran go back to the Detective Agency to make sure the client didn't actually turn up there instead. When Amuro arrives at the agency, he and Conan notice someone had broken in and appeared to have intercepted the client while they were out. Stepping outside, Amuro explains his deductions to the rest of the gang and that the culprit is hiding in the restroom.

[[File:Amuro796.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Amuro and Conan heard the gunshot]]

Before Amuro can open the bathroom door, a gunshot rings out, and Conan rushes in to find a dead man who apparently committed suicide with a gun and a taped-up crying woman. The woman's story is that the now-dead guy was interrogating her about the key and locker and committed suicide when Kogoro returned early, but Amuro and Conan suspect she is lying and may have murdered the man.

Amuro questions the woman a little, and Megure comments to Kogoro about he has yet another detective hanging around him. Curious, Amuro asks about [[Masumi Sera|the other detective]] and hears she is a young girl. Amuro offers to drive the formerly tied up woman to her home after questioning was postponed until the next day. Conan, Ran and Kogoro come along for the ride. At the woman's house, Conan, Amuro, and Kogoro announce they need to use the restroom and go inside. Ran turns on her cellphone and immediately gets a call from Masumi, who was worried after seeing the news of the murder. The call is full of static, and Amuro suddenly shuts Ran's phone and announces the place is bugged, which is interfering with the cellphone signal. Amuro gets out a bug detector and begins sweeping the house.
Ran, Amuro, and Kogoro find several bugs before coming across a large suitcase under a bed that is emitting a horrible smell. They opened the bugged suitcase and find a corpse inside.

[[File:Amuro674.png|thumb|left|200px|Rei sees Masumi]]

Soon afterwards, it was revealed that the culprit was indeed the woman, who sent Kogoro a message claiming that she was having Conan in her hands. During the investigation, they have found out a video recording summary, which contains many news about the robbery, inside the TV. Amuro then quickly gave out the speculation that the apartment might actually belonged to one of the robbers instead. Ran didn't understand how a detective of such level of intelligence could willingly become her father's apprentice. However, Amuro modestly answered that Kogoro was just testing him, and that he still had got much to learn.

Later, they decided to check up the house's computer, which was protected with password. Amuro discovered that the password was hidden under the desk, but instead of revealing the fact directly, he chose to hint Kogoro and Ran about it. After having gained access to the computer, they have all found out the identity of the third robber and her location, where Conan's kidnapper would most likely pay a visit. They followed the address and drive to that place, Masumi approached them closely from behind. However, while still on the road, they suddenly learned that the third robber had been overwhelming both Conan and the killer, and they were in serious danger. Right after determining the exact car that those three were in, Amuro purposely crashed his own car into theirs in order to stop it. In the end, the robber was defeated by Masumi, Conan was safe. Amuro, Masumi, Subaru (who was driving Agasa and Haibara to the scene) were all shown to receive a mysterious call. Vermouth called Bourbon and commented that he had gained some trust<ref>It wasn't specified whose trust</ref> and that she expected him to keep his (unstated) promise to her.

=== Won't Forgive Even One Milimeter (Manga: [[Volume 76#Domestic Violence|801]], Anime: [[Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter|675]]) ===
Amuro has a day off of work. After Amuro had his encounter with Masumi in the previous case, he notices that she looks like Akai, so Amuro once again disguises himself as Shuichi to gauge her reaction. However, like Jodie and Camel before her, Masumi was just as shocked by his appearence.

=== Overnight Deadline (Manga: [[Volume 76#Overnight Deadline|804]]-[[Volume 77#Overnight Deadline|808]], Anime: [[The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love|681-683]]) ===
[[File:AmuroGraveyard.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Amuro walks away from [[Wataru Date|Date]]'s grave.]]
Conan and the [[Detective Boys]] encounter Amuro who was coming from the police station due to the event of the [[Detectives' Nocturne|"Online Client"]] case. Because he had crashed his car into the car of the woman who kidnapped Conan, he was called to come there and finish some procedures so the police could determine whether his action had been overkill. He expresses his disappointment at not being able to meet [[Professor Agasa]] with them. He also states that he had another purpose for coming to the station, but when asked by Conan what it is, Amuro claims that it "has already disappeared".

Later, when [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] is still trapped, he reminisces about a time with his mentor [[Wataru Date]] and he said that Date was the top student at the police academy. However, Date rebutted this and told Takagi that he had always been number 2. He also said that neither his brains nor his brawn was anything compared to that guy who was like a gentleman. Later, it's revealed that the person whom Date was talking about is Amuro. He leaves a toothpick by Date's grave and watches Takagi and Sato pay their respects. Before leaving, he deletes a text message that Date sent him, while thinking "Rest in peace, my friend..."

=== Cabin Trap (Manga: [[Volume 77#Cabin Trap|815-817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699-700]]) ===
Ran and Kogoro are being served by Amuro at the Poirot. Presumably in reponse to being asked about Conan's absence, Kogoro tells Amuro that Conan and the [[Detective Boys]] went camping in Gunma, and they will be sending pictures to Kogoro's computer later. When Masumi calls Ran to ask about [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Volkswagen Beetle|what sort of vehicle Agasa drives]], Amuro listens suspiciously. Late that night, Amuro furtively sneaks into the empty Mouri Detective Agency and logs onto Kogoro's website using the password Kogoro inadvertently told him [[#Murder at Mouri Detective Agency .28Manga: 796-800.29|in an earlier case]]. Instead of pictures from the Detective Boys' camping trip that he was expecting, he sees a video sent by someone (Mitsuhiko) that shows [[Shiho Miyano]] rescuing [[Ayumi]] from a cabin fire. He is shocked, and then he zooms in on her hand and notices she is wearing a pass ring for the Bell Tree Express mystery train. Amuro then notices that Kogoro's computer was being hacked [[Subaru Okiya|by someone]] and wonders who did it. Amuro passes over the information that Shiho appeared in Gunma and will be boarding the mystery train to Vermouth who will relay it to Gin.

=== Mystery Train (Manga: [[Volume 78#Mystery Train|820-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train |701-704]]) ===
[[File:AmuroBourbon.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Amuro introduces himself as Bourbon.]]
Amuro appears on the train where he runs into Ran and the others. When asked what he is doing there, Amuro claims he won his tickets in an online auction and that he coincidentally met Kogoro in the dining cart where he learned of the case. When Masumi Sera runs off to find Scar Akai (Vermouth), Amuro is seen with his phone out contacting Vermouth that she was heading her way. He then comes when Conan (through Kogoro) starts his deduction on the murder culprit and reveals that three mirror plates were stuffed in a painting which was used for the locked room murder trick.

However, after the culprit confesses, Vermouth activated smoke canisters throughout the train in order to lure Ai Haibara (who supposedly transformed back to Shiho Miyano) out. After that is successful, Amuro introduces himself to her by calling himself Bourbon. He goes on to ask Shiho if she knows who he is to which she claims that he was a rival to her sister's love Dai Moroboshi (Shuichi Akai). Amuro starts to gloat saying that he knew Shuichi was FBI and that he couldn't believe that he was killed. He then says he decided to disguise as Shuichi in front of those close to him, although he asked Vermouth to disguise as him on the train. From that, he could only conclude that Shuichi really died. Putting Shiho at gunpoint, he tells her to go into the eighth cart so he can detach it with C4 explosives and bring her back to the organization. However, Shiho reveals that there are more C4 explosives in the train, when Amuro realizes that Vermouth put them there and that she plans to have Sherry killed. However, before he can do anything else, the real Shuichi (whom Amuro mistook as Vermouth) comes behind him and throws a grenade to detach the eighth cart. Amuro dodges the explosive relatively unscathed and the eighth cart explodes, but Shiho (who was really Kaitou Kid in disguise) is able to escape. Amuro then regroups with Vermouth and asks her to give him the files on before and after Shuichi's death. He thinks to himself that he'll have to start from square one, while Subaru, who is revealed to be Shuichi Akai watches on silently.

[[File:AmuroConan.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Amuro suspects that Conan is "Sleeping Kogoro".]]
After the events of the Bell Tree express, Amuro went on sick leave which Conan took as a sign that he wasn't planning to return. However, to Conan's horror, Amuro had asked Kogoro if he and Sonoko wanted tennis lessons. He meets them at a tennis court and reveals he will be coming back to work at the Poirot next week. When a tennis racket accidentally slips from a player's hand, Amuro tries to warn Conan that it will hit him, but Conan is unable to dodge it in time. Conan is knocked unconscious, and Amuro rushes over and does everything to make sure Conan is assisted medically before a real doctor arrives to check Conan's condition. When Conan awakens, he finds out he was moved to the house of the person who hit him with the racket. After an apology, the group asks if Amuro, Sonoko, and the Mouris would like to play doubles tennis with them. Conan goes off to take a nap, but a loud noise wakes him up, and he discovers one of the players has been murdered and the body is locked in the room with him. Worried about the noise, Amuro picks the room's lock and tries to open the door, but Conan yells at him to stop as there is a beaten body next to it. When the police come to investigate, Amuro helps in the investigation. As Conan prepares to tranquilize Kogoro, Amuro, starting to get suspicious, bends down to examine Conan aiming his watch, which prevents Conan from using it. Conan is instead forced to give out hints to lead Kogoro and the police to the right answer. After the case is over, Amuro and Vermouth have a phone conversation. Vermouth asks why Amuro is still sticking around the Mouri Detective Agency when there is no need to because Sherry has been dealt with, and Amuro responds that he is interested by ''Sleeping Kogoro''. As he says this, he thinks of Conan instead, implying he suspects Conan is the real Sleeping Kogoro.

The receipt initially blew away, but after realizing it was from Conan, Amuro tracks it down using a specialized app on his phone that can simulate wind conditions between the buildings in Beika city. Amuro locates the delivery truck in his repaired [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Amuro.27s Mazda RX-7|Mazda RX-7]]. The Black Organization agent decides to pretend like he came by chance instead of decoding the message on the receipt, and asks the two delivery men to make way because the street is narrow. When the kids see him and cry for help, Amuro, playing dumb, asks why they are in that truck. One of the murderers then orders Amuro to get in the truck by threatening the safety of the children. Amuro immediately punches the man's chest so hard that he coughs up blood. The remaining kidnapper backs down and Amuro ties him up and tells Conan to call the police. The children then reveal that they are outside of Agasa's house, which Amuro takes interest in. Haibara manages to stay behind the other kids and goes unnoticed by Amuro, and Subaru watches the unfolding scene from Shinichi's house's window.

=== A Shrine to Remember (Manga: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|850]]-[[Volume 81#A Shrine to Remember|852]], Anime: [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|734]]) ===
Suspecting that they may hold more valuable information for his investigation, Amuro follows Conan and Jodie to a sakura viewing scenic spot and attempts to approach them using someone else's appearance. He, with Vermouth's assistance, impersonates a random man named Touhei Benzaki, after having knocked him unconscious. Unknowing to Amuro, the real Benzaki has just been pickpocketed by a female thief.

In front of Conan and Jodie, Amuro claims to be the husband of the woman who taped Jodie back in the [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group|bank robbery case]], where he was also one of the victims himself. He also says that he saw [[Scar Akai]] a few days back, to which both of them react strongly. Jodie immediately grabs Amuro's arm and questions him where did that happen, while he takes advantage of the chance and secretly plants an eavesdropping device inside the sleeve of her jacket. Suddenly, the female thief approaches them in an attempt to steal Jodie's money. She recognizes Benzaki's face and worries that he may figure out about her action, but Amuro pays no further attention to her. After that, he declares not remembering the place that he saw Scar Akai due to his cold; and during a conversation with Jodie, Amuro learns that [[Shuichi Akai]] likes drinking canned coffee and has dropped one back when the Organization was trying to [[Clash of Red and Black|attack]] Haido Central Hospital. Jodie also implies that she knows Scar Akai and the real Akai are not the same person. She hands to Amuro her phone number and asks him to contact her if he happens to recall anything.

[https://postimg.cc/GHxPZLsL Conan with a Disguised Bourbon in background]

In the above picture in the episode of Jodie's Memories, when Conan was using Agasa for his deduction, Conan was standing behind Agasa. A disguised Bourbon was standing in front of the crowd, although he may have repositioned himself slightly see Conan speaking behind a wide awake 'Mouthing" Agasa.

He told [[Vermouth]] that Conan is a terrifying man.

[[File:Amuro'sMask.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Amuro removes a Benzaki face latex mask.]]
Later, the female thief is murdered by one of her victims and Amuro (as Touhei Benzaki) unwillingly becomes one of the suspects. Through the eavesdropping device planted earlier, Amuro is able to listen to Jodie's conversations with Conan, where she mentions how Conan assisted the FBI in unmasking [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] as the spy from the Organization using his cellphone.

After the case is closed and the culprit gets arrested, Conan expresses his surprise at Benzaki not being able to recognize the thief the second time he met her, and wonders if he has bad eyesight. Amuro awkwardly evades the question by saying that he was there to buy a good-luck charm and not to see the flowers. Much to his luck, Vermouth, imitating the appearance of the woman who taped Jodie, walks towards them and answers that the good luck charm was for their baby. She pretends to have a [[wikipedia:Morning sickness|morning sickness]] in order to remove the eavesdropping device from Jodie and create an excuse for Amuro to leave the crime scene immediately. Amuro then returns the stolen purse to the real Benzaki and drives Vermouth away.

Inside the car, Amuro and Vermouth discuss about the case a little. She wonders whether he has got hold of something interesting from Jodie. Amuro states that he has learned a "surprising inside story", but won't share the details with Vermouth until he's got the proof. He only comments that Conan is a "terrifying man".

After the Tennis Murder case, Rei begins to suspect that Conan is using Kogoro as a puppet for his own deductions.

He has already seen how Kogoro perform as Sleeping Kogoro, but missed the trick prior to Conan being hit in the head with a tennis racket.

However, in that case, when Conan prepared his watch in order to tranquilize Kogoro, Bourbon bent down so that his eye would have been hit with the dart, if Conan did not stop himself in time, saying "The lid on my watch broke," before wandering slightly to the back.

Since Conan was unable to tranquilize Kogoro, he had to instead give hints throughout the entire deduction to Kogoro, such as "Ice Melts," and many more. When Kogoro's response showed his typical "that is stupid type" behavior, Rei backed up Conan's hints throughout the entire deduction, proving to himself, that the real brains of this operation is Conan. That is really when he began to investigate the real detective "Sleeping Kogoro," who he now knew to be Conan.

Bourbon also learned via a bug he implanted in Jodie's sleeve to eavesdrop on their conversation that Conan helped the FBI figuring out the Organisation's spy at the shrine.

[https://postimg.cc/GHxPZLsL Conan with a Disguised Bourbon in background]

In the above picture in the episode of Jodie's Memories, when Conan was using Agasa for his deduction, Conan was standing behind Agasa. A disguised Bourbon was standing in front of the crowd, although he may have repositioned himself slightly see Conan speaking behind a wide awake 'Mouthing" Agasa.

He told [[Vermouth]] that Conan is a terrifying man.

In the Scarlet episodes, he also figured out that Conan came up with the plan that Akai, Conan, and Kir used to fake Akai's death at the Pass, and added in his mind the part of Akai's sentence that was left off at the scene, stated that Conan predicted everything exactly as it happened at the scene.

However, he is unaware of the trick that Conan uses to create Sleeping Kogoro.

In the Heartstrap Case, he finally saw Conan use his Voice Changing Bow Tie as a Loudspeaker on a beach, however he has not yet seen him actually tranq anyone or speak in another voice in front of him yet.

===[[Hyoue Kuroda]]===
[[Image:Hyoue Kuroda.jpg|100px|right]]
Kuroda called him 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and say that Conan has a ability to crack cases by seeing what no one else does. It seems that Kuroda is aware how good Conan is as a detective.

He was confident enough to believe that Conan could help with a case and order the police to do as he says. But it's not certain if he knows of the whole truth.

In Kawanakajima Murder Case, Anime: 810-812, 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 Episode 909-910, 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 Episode 971-974, he also instructed Bourbon to answer all of Conan's questions, when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case as well.

===Inspector Otaki===
[[Image:Goro Otaki.jpg|100px|right]]
His involvement in both the Tiger Scroll Case and the Koshien Bomber case at the very least should make him suspicious and knowledgable that Conan is incredibly intelligent, as he does not question how or why Conan was so involved with both cases. Additionally, he has been around them long enough to reason he sees their detective skills as equal. Additionally, Conan makes little to no effort to hide it from him.
{{clear}}

==Probably Non-Canon==
===[[Lupin III]]===
In the Special of Lupin III vs. Detective Conan, Lupin III, While disguised as Mouri Kogor, he even played the part of the wide-awake sleeping detective, after Conan accidently shot Koichi Zenigata with his stun gun tranquilizer, only for Zeniga to wake up 30 seconds later. However, Lupin frequently started ad-libbing while playing the sleeping detective.
Needless to say, he knows how the trick works behind the sleeping Kogoro.
