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

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

Detective Conan is known as "Case Closed" in North America. The name "''Case Closed''" results from concerns of copyright conflict of the name ''Detective Conan''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2004-02-05/funimation-renames-conan|accessdate=2008-08-18|publisher=Anime News Network|date=2007-10-09|title=FUNimation renames Conan}}</ref><br />
<br />
Viz Media licensed the manga series under the name for English-language publication in North America and released thirty-nine volumes as of July 2011. [[Funimation Entertainment]] licensed the anime series for North American broadcast. Both the English adaption went under the name ''Case Closed''. The character names were also adapted into English ones with some names different between the two. Fifty episodes of the English dubbed series aired on [[TV Networks#Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] as part of their [[TV Networks#Adult Swim|Adult Swim]] programming block on May 24, 2004 until January 2005 and were discontinued due to low ratings.<ref name="Adult Swim Anime Plans">{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-01-22/adult-swim-anime-plans|title=Adult Swim Anime Plans|publisher=Anime News Network|accessdate=May 5, 2009}}</ref><br />
Two years later, Funimation made the series available, airing it on Colours TV during its syndication with the Funimation Channel. As of 2011, only 130 episodes (episodes 1-123 Japanese version) have been dubbed in English. Though anime was not so popular in North America, manga enjoys high success. Volume 36 appeared in the ''[[wikipedia:New York Times Manga Best Sellers|New York Times Manga Best Sellers]]'' list during the week ending on October 24, 2010. As of October 11, 2011 40 volumes have been released by [[Viz Media]].<br />
<br />
==Critical reception==<br />
<br />
The series has been well received in Japan with the anime adaptation ranking in the top twenty in [[Magazines#Animage|Animage]]'s polls between 1996 until 2000 where it dropped below the top twenty. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, Detective Conan often ranked the top six. It has even been used as a mascot to promote citizens to follow the law. Meanwhile, the English adaption has not been as equally popular as in Japan, and has been criticized for the name changes.<br />
<br />
== Demographic ==<br />
<br />
Even though Detective Conan is a [[Glossary|Shōnen]], its audience is composed of a substantial proportion of female viewers and readers. The series also seems to attract all ages.<br />
