==== Situation ====<br />
Kaitou Kid stands on top of the Tokyo Tower with his assistant, Konosuke Jii. He discusses the time he was almost caught by a famous detective in the east, Shinichi Kudo.<br />
<br />
At Ekoda High School, Kaito is reading the newspaper about Kaitou Kid's next job and he's pretty happy about it. Aoko took the newspaper away from Kaito and tear it into tiny pieces while getting mad about Kaito taking Kaitou Kid's side. Kaito got all the newspaper pieces while talking to Aoko about not liking Kaitou Kid because her father is the inspector who always lose to Kid. Kaito counts to three and the newspaper appears. Aoko was surprised.<br />
<br />
That night, Kid plans to "steal" the clock tower.<br />

<spoiler><br />
[[File:Detectives fake their deaths.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The detectives fake their deaths to trick Senma for confessing that she killed Ogami.]]<br />
The one who killed Ogami is '''Furuyo Senma'''.<br />
<br />
* The poison, Potassium Cyanide, was coated on the top of the handle where Ogami's thumb would touch. Because Ogami had a habit of chewing his thumb's nail when stressed, the poison would then be swallowed, killing him.<br />
* Because there is no way to know which seat Ogami would sit in, Senma coated the poison on every cups on the table. Although everyone had wiped their eating utensils, dishes, and cups just in case of poisoning, Senma predicted that Ogami's overconfidence in his plan would result in him not wiping his.<br />
* In order to prevent the rest of the Detectives and guests from being killed too early, Senma pretended to hate cigarette in order for heavy-smoker like Kogoro and Mogi from smoking.<br />
* After she successfully murdered Ogami, Senma would then propose a plan to check out the bridge. By having second coin prepared in advance, Senma would always be among the those to go. She then pretended to be killed by explosion, and secretly returned to the mansion and hid in the secret monitor room, waiting either until the Detectives solved the mystery of the mansion or killed each other off.<br />
* The reason that Conan and the rests realize that Senma was the perprator of the crime was because she purposely picked the farthest 10 yen coin when deciding the bridge check out: if someone else picked the coin, they would've noticed the chemical reaction between the potassium cyanide and the coin made of bronze.<br />
<br />
== Motive ==<br />
Senma and Ogami were co-conspirators and had arranged for the detectives to arrive in an attempt to have them find the treasure for them, with the maid '''Aki Ishihara''' being Ogami's original poison target in this scheme. However, Senma double crossed Ogami and poisoned Ogami's cup with Potassium Cyanide.<br />
<br />
The backstory about Renya Karasuma was mostly a lie. The true tale prompted the current tragedy and Senma's motive for seeking out the treasure. Renya Karasuma had inherited the mansion from his mother and, forty years ago, had found the clues about the King, Queen, and Knight, but he was unable to make any further headway on the riddle. Greedy for the treasure, Renya hired detectives to solve the case for him, and then began killing them as motivation to solve the case faster. Those murders were the true cause behind the bloodstains in the house, not an out-of-control party caused by two wanderers with drugs. Senma's archaeologist father was one of the individuals who has disappeared looking for the treasure, presumably a victim of Renya Karasuma's treasure hunting fanaticism.<br />
<br />
Like Renya Karasuma, Senma wanted to know the answer to the treasure hunt that took her father's life at all costs. Sensing that Ogami's greed had got the best of him and that he would kill her after they had found the treasure, she poisoned him using his nail biting habit. She had planned to fake her death, have the other detectives find the treasure and then have them kill each other, but they were not fooled. All the detectives who killed each other are alive all along.<br />
<br />
Instead, she is tricked into confessing to Conan, who reveals the true secret of the treasure: the entire mansion is actually made of gold. The solution lies in the riddle given to the guests.<br />
<br />
* The two travelers who looked up at the sky refers to the hour and minute hands of the clock at 12:00, which is only found in the dining room.<br />
* The King who took the chest of treasure refers to King of Diamonds, whose face turns to the left, meaning rotates the minute hand counter clock-wise by 13 x 5 = 65 minutes.<br />
* The Queen who shed tears in a holy grail refers to the Queen of Hearts, whose face turns to the left, meaning rotates the minute hand counter clock-wise by 12 x 5 = 60 minutes.<br />
* The Knight who stabbed himself in the back with his own sword refers to Jack of Spades, whose face turns to the right, meaning rotates the minute hand clock-wise by 11 x 5 = 55 minutes.<br />
<br />
== Afterward ==<br />
Saguru reveals that he had sent Watson to his baaya to call for a reinforcement helicopter for them to escape the mansion. On the helicopter, Senma tries to commit suicide by jumping off the vehicle, but '''Kogoro who is revealed to be Kaito Kid''' saves her.<br />
<br />
{{InfoBox Crime<br />
| crime = Attempted Suicide<br />
| image =<br />
| location = Sunset Mansion<br />
| victim = Furuyo Senma<br />
| description =<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Senma then reveals that she actually pretends to commit suicide in order to let him escapes, as Conan and the rest had long figured out that Kaito disguised as Kogoro, due to him not smoking even once during the time at the mansion. When Senma asks about his relationship with Conan, Kaito replies that he is like "a lover that he never wants to meet" before leaving the now save Senma (whom Kid attached a safety wire to) and fleeing. It's revealed that Kogoro was ambushed at the gas station by Kaito who tied him up along with the real gas station employee.</spoiler><br />
<br />
== Manga to anime changes ==<br />
* The manga does not fully reveal that the clocktower heist is a flashback from Kid, immediately preceding the events of [[Conan vs. Kaitou Kid|episode 76]], until the very end. The anime adaptation reveals it from the start, as it begins by playing the opening scene of episode 76 from Kaito's and Aoko's perspective, followed by quick shots of Kaitou Kid's notice from that episode and the Black Star itself.<br />
* In the manga, Inspector Nakamori tells Inspector Megure about the code that Kid left behind while still hanging onto the clock face. In the anime, he relays this information while standing by his squad car. This causes a small plot hole, as Nakamori had been clinging to the clock face only seconds ago.<br />
* In the manga, Kaito bears a few scuff marks when he reunites with Aoko at the bottom of the clock tower and repeats his rose trick. In the anime, his face is completely clean.<br />
* The story when [[Akako Koizumi]] saw the prediction of [[Shinichi Kudo|person]] who is to take care of Kid, Akako's associates, and Akako's attempt to cast spells was omitted from this adaptation. It was restored in [[Black Star]], the adaptation of the same episode in [[Magic Kaito 1412]].<br />
<br />
== Rerun ==<br />
This episode was rerun on October 6, 2003.<br />
<br />
== Remastered version ==<br />
Detective's Gathering, the second part of this special, was remastered on May 18 and 25th, 2019, as a two-halves episode before [[Search for Maria-chan!#Trivia|Search for Maria-chan!]].<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* This is the first episode of the 21st Century, and the second to be digitally animated. The first episode to use digital animation is [[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases]].<br />
* This episode combines two separate stories from both ''Detective Conan'' and ''[[Magic Kaito]]'': the "Black Star" storyline from ''Magic Kaito'' volume 4, chapters 3-4 and Detective's Gathering, from ''Detective Conan'' volume 30, files 4-7. The first line of the title ("The Gathering of the Detectives!") refers to the second story, while the second line of the title ("Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid") refers to the first part of the story.<br />
* At the start of the special, Kid's notice from [[Conan vs. Kaitou Kid]] is shown; however, "April fool" is misspelled as "A prill fool". Another mistake is that the aforementioned notice is shown again when Nakamori's assistant reads Kid's notice about the clock tower.<br />
* The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for the Black Organization.<br />
* The plot of this story may have been inspired by Agatha Christie's [[Wikipedia: And Then There Were None|And Then There Were None]], where ten guests are trapped on an island and killed one by one by a member of the group. The trick used by the murderer to avoid being suspected is the same in both stories.<br />
* Significant parts of the plot may also have been inspired by the 1976 mystery comedy [[Wikipedia: Murder by Death|Murder by Death]], in which parodic versions of world-famous detectives are invited into a mansion to solve a murder that is promised to happen by their mysterious host.<br />
* Each of the detectives introduced in this case evokes a famous literary detective:<br />
** Senma, an unassuming old lady, evokes Agatha Christie's [[Wikipedia: Miss Marple|Miss Marple]].<br />
** Ogami, a heavy-set man with a love of fine cooking, evokes Rex Stout's [[Wikipedia: Nero Wolfe|Nero Wolfe]].<br />
** Mogi, a slim, wisecracking "tough guy", evokes Raymond Chandler's [[Wikipedia: Philip Marlowe|Philip Marlowe]].<br />
** Soda, a medical practitioner who focuses on forensic evidence above all else, evokes R. Austin Freeman's [[Wikipedia: Dr. Thorndyke|Dr. Thorndyke]], albeit a woman instead of a man.<br />
** Saguru, though a previously established character from ''Magic Kaito'', is clearly meant to evoke Sherlock Holmes.<br />
* The vehicles showed in this episode are:<br />
** Aki Ishihara and the boss: Silver Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse [W210], with the license plate number 新宿 300, み 33-20 (Shinjuku 300, Mi 33-20).<br />
** Harufumi Mogi: 1971 blue Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior 3a serie [105.30], with the license plate number 新宿 33, と 57-03 (Shinjuku 33, To 57-03).<br />
** Ikumi Soda: 1988 red Ferrari F40, with the license plate number 新宿 33, さ 84-63 (Shinjuku 33, Sa 84-63).<br />
** Furuyo Senma: White Fiat Nuova 500.<br />
** Shukuzen Ogami: Yellow 1999 Toyota FunCargo [XP20]; 1998 Red Porsche 911 Carrera [996], with the license plate number 新宿 33, み 88-14 (Shinjuku 33, Mi 88-14).<br />
** [[Saguru's Housekeeper]]: 1964 green Vanden Plas Princess 1100 MkI [ADO16].<br />
* The "TMS Rent a car" is a reference to "TOYOTA Rent a Car".<br />
* Sunset Manor's place is an [[Wikipedia: Rural area#Japan|Inaka Village]] improperly 2 kilometers from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]], in the distant Shizuoka Prefecture.<br />
* "Sunset Manor" derived from the homonim novel written by [[wikipedia:ja:笠井潔|Kiyoshi Kasai]]. It shares similarities with Hell Hal in ''[[Wikipedia: One Hundred and One Dalmatians|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]''.<br />
* The anime version's huge painting in the Sunset Manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation, and the one in the piano room is about [[Wikipedia: Corvin Castle|Corvin Castle]]. Just like the story of Solomon, the wisest but later corrupt king in the Old Testament, since sunset also indicates an idea of "glorious sun that goes out" as the wrath of heaven, Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but eventually became like Dracula for his own personal profit. Moreover, since he had came from afar to decipher Karasuma's riddle, Conan is also like the great Queen of Sheba. Then, the Sunset Manor is modeled after [[Wikipedia: Solomon's Temple|Solomon's Golden Temple]], depicted in the background, and that castle.<br />
* Originally, when this special aired, during the clock tower heist there was a scene missing from the animation we can see in the original manga chapter in which Akako started to use her magic to try and help Kid escape only to be stopped by her assistant. Open spoiler box to see images.<br />

* Many anime version's paintings in the Sunset Manor are from [[The Fourteenth Target#Trivia|The Fourteenth Target]], although with an inverted orientation: in the dining room, the one with cherry in bloom from [[The Mist Goblin Legend Murder Case]] in the French Restaurant "La Fleur", and the one with a sunset beach woman in Aquacrystal restaurant, but both divided into two; in the piano room, the one with Corvin Castle in Sawaki's apartment. Those with trees foliage and a sunset beach woman in the dining room appeared in the apartment building front entrance from [[The Historical Actor Murder Case]], as correct orientation but respectively with cherry blossom petals and cut out the woman, and the first in the Izu Queen Hotel from [[Scuba Diving Murder Case]] and in Yokosuka Castle from [[The Last Wizard of the Century]], but in white and black, and in [[The Truth Behind Valentine's]] without foliage. In [[The Shaking Restaurant#Trivia|The Shaking Restaurant]], the past scene when Aiko Morimura, a girl on Hachijou Island, looked at the sunset sea waiting twenty-one years for her lover's return from Tokyo while bringing up her secret daughter and then died alone last spring after suffered all the hardships, is clearly modeled after the oil painting with a sunset beach woman, appeared even in a hotel room from [[The Ten Planets in the Night Sky#Trivia|The Ten Planets in the Night Sky]]. Those with scribbles and an island in the piano room didn't appear before. Open spoiler box to see images.<br />

[[Saguru Hakuba]]'s housekeeper, whom he addresses as '''{{nihongo|baaya|婆や|bāya}}''' is a minor character in [[Magic Kaito]] and [[Detective Conan]]. She appears to be his primary caretaker, at least in Japan.<br />
<br />
== Appearance and personality ==<br />
Baaya is an older woman with light-colored, curled hair and a hawk nose, which suggests some degree of non-Japanese ancestry. She is also fairly tall, as she sits level with 5'11" [[Saguru Hakuba]] when driving a car. In her only visible appearance, she wears a suit coat over a black turtleneck and glasses on a thin chain.<br />
<br />
== Plot overview ==<br />
Baaya first appears in the Twilight Mansion Case, which marked Saguru Hakuba's first appearance as well. She drove him to the Mansion and remained hidden nearby in case he needed help. They marked the top of her car with a large 'X' so Hakuba's hawk Watson could find her and relay messages between them.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Detective Conan|volume=30|publisher=Shogakukan|chapter=Chapter 4-7|language=English}} ("Twilight Mansion Case")</ref> <br />
<br />
She is also mentioned in the Detective Koushien. However, this time Saguru has come alone and told her not to wait for him.<br />
<br />
The housekeeper also appears in the Dark Knight case in [[Magic Kaito]]. She is driving Hakuba to the Kaito Kid heist, but [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] tricks her into taking a route right through a traffic jam which slows their progress, so Saguru gets out of the car and runs the rest of the way.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The word 'baaya' means either 'old housekeeper' or 'wet nurse'.<br />

'''{{nihongo|Saguru Hakuba|白馬 探|Hakuba Saguru}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', who has made multiple appearances in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Saguru is another teenage detective, just like [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Heiji Hattori]]. However, he does a lot of his work in England, as well as Japan, and claims to have handled more cases than Heiji. In the Magic Kaito manga and 1412 anime franchise, his main goal is to capture the master thief, [[Kaitou Kid]] but in the Magic Kaito anime specials franchise, Saguru's main goal is to capture the assassin, [[Spider]] and using Kaitou Kid as a bait.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[File:Hakuba as Sherlock Holmes.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Saguru Hakuba as Sherlock Holmes.]]<br />
As a detective, Saguru takes great interest in learning culprit's motives, asking "How come you did that?" Saguru also pays a great deal of attention to time, carrying a pocket watch that only loses 0.001 seconds per year. In cases, Saguru tends to note the time to the second. He is even more extreme in his earliest appearances; he notes during the ''Adam's Smile'' painting heist that Kaitou Kid is a minute and 13.02 seconds late.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=The Great Detective Appears!!|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=}}</ref> During his first appearances in Magic Kaito, Saguru is seen often wearing an Inverness cape and a deerstalker, much like the stereotypical portrait of [[Sherlock Holmes]]. In later appearances he has given up this look opting for a suit instead. <br />
<br />
His speech is usually formal and polite, like his attire; for example, he uses the more humble pronoun 'boku' to refer to himself during the Detective Koushien case, while Heiji uses 'ore,' which is a cockier and less polite way of referring to oneself. However, Saguru displays a distinct sense of arrogance himself, particularly during his earlier appearances. He displays an arrogant assurance in his ability to capture the [[Kaitou Kid]], and conveys a superior attitude towards Inspector Nakamori's men in volume 3 of [[Magic Kaito]]. In the Detective Koushien case in Detective Conan, he frequently mocked Heiji, calling him rash and hotheaded and repeatedly expressed his disappointment in Heiji's seeming incompetence, and despite being clearly defeated by Heiji's deduction, he showed no such regrets or humility. Kaito describes his tone as sugary yet obnoxious.<ref>Magic Kaito Volume 4, File 5, pg 5: "Golden Eye 1"</ref>.<br />
<br />
Saguru also appears to be something of a flirt. He kissed Aoko's hand and tried to sweet-talk her into going on a date with him, <ref name="Vol3Chp3" /> And during the Detective Koushien he was particularly attentive to the [[Natsuki Koshimizu|female detective]] present, even promising that he would "solve the case for her." However, it's possible that in both of those cases his actions were at least partly intended to irritate Kaito and Heiji, respectively.<br />
<br />
== Appearance and Skills ==<br />
Saguru Hakuba has brown-blonde hair; his eye color is usually blue in the manga, but brown in the anime. According to Saguru's own introduction to [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]], Saguru is 180 cm tall (5'11"), weighs 65 kg (143 lbs), was born on August 29th under the Virgo zodiac, and is blood type 'A'.<ref name="Vol3Chp3">{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Kaitou Under Scrutiny|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref> <br />
<br />
In the Twilight Mansion case, he showed himself to be skilled at billiards, and to have at least basic knowledge of falconry.<br />
<br />
He also seems to have an eidetic memory, just as Shinichi, Heiji and Kaito have proven themselves to have, and is capable of remembering long strings of data, particularly (in Saguru's case) precise times down to the millisecond.<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== In Magic Kaito ===<br />
[[File:MK9 16.png|thumb|right|200px|Saguru plans to confront Kaito Kid.]]<br />
Prior to arriving in Japan, Saguru spent time as a detective in England and attended London Bridge High School. According to Saguru's father, Saguru is most interested in meeting the infamous [[Kaitou Kid]] and is taken to the ''Adam's Smile'' painting heist. Saguru fails to capture Kid but begins collecting clues as to Kid's true identity. <br />
<br />
In the anime special adaptation of Saguru's introduction, [[The Splendid Rivals]], the circumstances of Saguru's and Kaito's meeting have been altered. The target is a purple gem in the eye of the ''Bronze Statue''. It is revealed that Saguru has no interest in capturing Kaitou Kid, but rather, [[Spider]] who is part of the mysterious organization that Kaito is after. Saguru humiliates the police and he figures out where Kaitou Kid was hiding. He nearly captures the thief with sleeping gas, but Kaitou Kid takes his gas mask so Saguru is taken down by his own trick. Kaitou Kid then disguises as Saguru to get close to the gem, but the scheme is quickly figured out when the police finds Saguru's sleeping body. Later, Saguru forces himself to wake up when Kaitou Kid is caught in Spider's illusion. Saguru saves him by spraying him with water. After both Spider and Kaitou Kid escape, Saguru falls asleep once more. Much to Kaito's dismay, Saguru transfers into Ekoda High School Class 2-B and continues his mission to unmask Kid. He is now the classmate of [[Kaito Kuroba]], [[Aoko Nakamori]], [[Akako Koizumi]], and [[Keiko Momoi]].<br />
<br />
In the special [[The Secret of the Red Tear]] Saguru appears briefly in class, reading a book that mentions Spider. He is shocked by Akako's beauty and is seen blushing.<br />
<br />
Although Magic Kaito is no longer frequently continued, Saguru has made several appearances in the cases that have come out alongside Detective Conan. He telephoned Kaito from Paris to give him information on the thief known as Chat Noir, and also appeared in the Dark Knight arc, where he arrived too late to stop Kid's theft but correctly deduced his methods and kept up with Kaito in uncovering the identity of the mysterious 'Nightmare.'<br />
<br />
=== In Detective Conan ===<br />
Saguru Hakuba's first appearance in Detective Conan was in the Twilight Palace case, where he was one of six detectives invited to investigate a murder that had been committed 40 years ago in an old mansion. During the case it is revealed Saguru has a pet hawk named Watson whom he got in England. <ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|date=2009-07-21|isbn=1-4215-2198-9|title=Case Closed|volume=Volume 30|publisher=Viz Media|chapter=File 4: Condemnation|language=English|location=San Francisco|page=67}}</ref> <br />
[[image:479 Heiji and Saguru.JPG|right|thumb|200px|Heiji and Saguru didn't get along during the Detective Koushien.]]<br />
His second, and only other canonical appearance, was in the [[Volume 54#Detective Koshien Case|Detective Koshien Case]]. Although he initially believed that he was to represent the 'east' in a contest between four high school detectives, in fact the competition had been arranged by a woman seeking a detective 'with a strange accent' who had incorrectly accused her friend of committing a murder. Thinking that Saguru's Japanese might be accented due to his time in Britain, she invited him, as well as [[Heiji Hattori]], who is well known for his strong Kansai accent. <br />
<br />
During the Detective Koshien case, it was stated that Saguru had returned to England sometime before the case, and had returned to Japan specifically to compete in the Koshien, thus explaining his absence from the Kaitou Kid heists in Detective Conan.<br />
[[File:Hawk Watson.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Saguru Hakuba's pet hawk Watson.]]<br />
Saguru appeared in [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|'''Episode 219''': The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid (2 Hour Special)]]. During the Kid case, set some time before [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was shrunk, Kaito thinks to himself that the heist will be much easier without Saguru around, as he has apparently returned to England. Kid was therefore not expecting a challenge, so when the officers trick him into revealing himself and successfully locate him in the ventilation shafts, Kid wonders aloud who, if not Saguru, could be helping the police.<br />
<br />
Saguru also made a cameo of sorts in the tenth Detective Conan movie, ''[[The Private Eyes' Requiem]]''. Claiming that someone dear to him had been captured by the theme park, he assisted Conan and Heiji in their investigations that day but later disappeared after they were separated by attackers. It is later revealed that 'Saguru' was actually Kaitou Kid in disguise.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
==== Hakuba family ====<br />
{{main|Hakuba Family}}<br />
His father is the Metropolitan Police chief in Japan. His paternal uncle also apparently runs a research laboratory in Ekoda. His father appeared only once in Magic Kaito, when he asked [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] to look after Saguru. <br />
<br />
In subsequent appearances in both manga series, Saguru's sole caretaker seems to be a [[Saguru's Housekeeper|housekeeper]] whom he refers to as 'baya'<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 4|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Dark Knight (Part 1)|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=}}</ref> or 'governess' in the English translation.<ref name="Twilight">{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|date=2009-07-21|isbn=1-4215-2198-9|title=Case Closed|volume=Volume 30|publisher=Viz Media|chapter=File 6: Murder|language=English|location=San Francisco|page=96}}</ref><br />
<br />
==== Kaito Kuroba/Kaitou Kid ====<br />
[[File:MK9 166.png|thumb|left|200px|Saguru confronts Kaito.]]<br />
The relationship between Saguru and [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] is a rather tense one; Saguru convinced himself early on that Kaito was indeed Kid, and during the first few volumes he's constantly throwing out offhand comments that show his suspicion. However, later on in the manga, we have a small scene where Saguru calls Kaito from Paris in order to give him some information on 'Chat Noir', a dangerous, fellow gem thief trying to outshine Kid.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 4|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Golden Eye Part 1|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=18}}</ref> Though Kaito continues to vehemently deny being Kid, Saguru gives him the information anyways, ending the conversation with, "Do your best at least. I don't want to see you lose to anyone before I capture you myself". Whether that was his actual motive, or if he was merely concerned for Kaito's well being, or a mix of both, is unknown.<br />
<br />
==== Aoko Nakamori ====<br />
[[File:MK9 139.png|thumb|right|200px|Saguru and Aoko.]]<br />
Prior to the heist in Volume 3, Chapter 3, Saguru seems to flirt with [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]] after Kaito turns down Aoko's offer to go to the Prince Prince concert. Saguru and Kaito then make a bet that if Saguru manages to catch Kid then Saguru will go to the concert with Aoko, and if he fails to capture the thief, Kaito will go instead. When interviewed before the heist, Saguru notes "Tonight's battle has a special meaning to me".<ref name="Vol3Chp3"/> However, Saguru seems to only be doing this to irritate Kaito, and although initially surprised to have Saguru want to go to the concert with her, Aoko wants Saguru to fail during the heist so she can go with Kaito instead.<br />
<br />
==== Akako Koizumi ====<br />
In [[The Secret of the Red Tear]], Saguru is shown blushing at [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]]'s beauty. Aoko notices and teases him, which he quickly tries to deny. Akako looks delighted. Also in [[The Witch, the Detective, and the Phantom Thief]], Saguru is shown blushing when Akako comes and drags Kaito away and he thinks that she is out of his league.<br />
<br />
=== Other ===<br />
==== Ginzo Nakamori ====<br />
Despite Inspector Nakamori's years of experience with Kaitou Kid heists, Saguru displays little respect towards him. He is quick to point out that the Inspector has amassed little concrete data on Kaitou Kid over the years, and will not hesitate to order the Inspector and his men around despite technically having no authority to do so.<br />
<br />
==== Spider ====<br />
Saguru and [[Spider]] are both enemies.<br />
<br />
== Character popularity ==<br />
eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Saguru placed 10th in the poll with 57 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』 人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref><br />
<br />
In honor of the release of the 15th movie, [[Quarter of Silence]], the official Conan movie website held a popularity poll for the top 10 Detective Conan characters. Saguru placed 9th out of 10.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.conan-movie.jp/camp_chara/camp15th_res.html|title=名探偵コナン「キャラクター人気投票」|date=2011|publisher=www.conan-movie.jp|accessdate=2011-08-12}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
The kanji reading for 探 (Saguru) means "to search" and the reading for 白馬 (Hakuba) means "white horse". Like most Magic Kaito main characters, the name references a color; in this case Hakuba's white opposes [[Kaito Kuroba#Name origin|Kuroba's black]]. As a nod to the family name, the Hakuba family seems to use the horse as its emblem. Saguru has a horse on his pocket-watch and the Hakuba laboratory has a horse on its facade as well. His name may also be a homage to Sherlock Holmes, as their names share the same initials.<br />

{{cquote|Why did you do this?}}<br />
{{cquote|The truth will always come to light|Saguru's catchphrase in Magic Kaito 1412}}<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Saguru's eyes are blue in his manga appearances, but brown in the anime.<br />
* In the tenth Detective Conan movie it was stated that Saguru had been studying Criminal Science in London.<br />
* Saguru wasn't given an English name in Case Closed. In volume 30, the Twilight Mansion case and his only translated American appearance to date, he was simply referred to by his original name, like the other one-shot detectives in the case.<br />
* In [[Magic Kaito]], Saguru acquires a strand of the Kid's hair and runs a genetic scan on it, determining that the Kid is a fifteen-to-seventeen-year-old male with a higher-than-average IQ. He then runs this information against a database of Tokyo teenagers and comes up with a list of possible Kaitou Kids, at the top of which was Kaito Kuroba's name. However, it's interesting to wonder whether [[Shinichi Kudo]], another sixteen-year-old Tokyo resident with a similar build and above-average intelligence, made Saguru's list, but the search included only teenagers with blood type B, and it has never actually been stated what Shinichi's is (although Kogoro Mouri mentions that Conan's blood type is rare<ref name="j10">Episode 189</ref>) Type B is not a common blood type<ref name="k11">See population breakdown by country here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group_system#ABO_and_Rh_distribution_by_country</ref>, so it is possible that this is Shinichi's type.<br />
* With his name spelt in romaji and read with given name before family name, Saguru would get the same initials as Sherlock Holmes.<br />

[[Saguru Hakuba]]'s housekeeper, whom he addresses as '''{{nihongo|baaya|婆や|bāya}}''' is a minor character in [[Magic Kaito]] and [[Detective Conan]]. She appears to be his primary caretaker, at least in Japan.<br />
<br />
== Appearance and personality ==<br />
Baaya is an older woman with light-colored, curled hair and a hawk nose, which suggests some degree of non-Japanese ancestry. She is also fairly tall, as she sits level with 5'11" [[Saguru Hakuba]] when driving a car. In her only visible appearance, she wears a suit coat over a black turtleneck and glasses on a thin chain.<br />
<br />
== Plot overview ==<br />
Baaya first appears in the Twilight Mansion Case, which marked Saguru Hakuba's first appearance as well. She drove him to the Mansion and remained hidden nearby in case he needed help. They marked the top of her car with a large 'X' so Hakuba's hawk Watson could find her and relay messages between them.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Detective Conan|volume=30|publisher=Shogakukan|chapter=Chapter 4-7|language=English}} ("Twilight Mansion Case")</ref> <br />
<br />
She is also mentioned in the Detective Koushien. However, this time Saguru has come alone and told her not to wait for him.<br />
<br />
The housekeeper also appears in the Dark Knight case in [[Magic Kaito]]. She is driving Hakuba to the Kaito Kid heist, but [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] tricks her into taking a route right through a traffic jam which slows their progress, so Saguru gets out of the car and runs the rest of the way.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The word 'baaya' means either 'old housekeeper' or 'wet nurse'.<br />

'''{{nihongo|Ginzo Nakamori|中森 銀三|Nakamori Ginzō}}''', known in the [[Funimation]] dub as '''Mace Fuller''', is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Nakamori is an inspector for the Tokyo district. His division is nominally devoted to fraud cases, but he spends most of his time and energy capturing the gentleman thief [[Kaitou Kid]].<br />
<br />
Although the main protagonist's sworn enemy from the beginning of his thief career, in reality Nakamori isn't at all the main antagonist of the manga and anime series ''Magic Kaito''. This role belongs exclusively to [[Snake]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Nakamori has been dealing with Kaitou Kid ever since he first joined the police force, not knowing that he has been dealing with the original Kaitou Kid, [[Toichi Kuroba]], and the new Kaitou Kid, Toichi's son [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]], who is best friend and the romantic interest of his daughter [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]]. Nakamori used to be a homicide police inspector, but gave that up to focus his time more on Kid.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-09-29-02h50m28s118.png|thumb|right|200px|Nakamori gleefully seizes the unsuspecting Kid's wrists.]]<br />
Nakamori has a fiery and boisterous personality, always yelling to direct his officers and losing his cool when one of his plans goes awry. Nakamori is extremely self confident. He is usually very self-assured his plans will work and cackles madly to himself at the thought of Kaitou Kid being caught in them. His many failures don't stop him from proudly declaring on live news broadcasts he will surely nab the Kid next time. Nakamori's experience in chasing Kid is balanced by his impulsivity which is his downfall. After a surprise, Nakamori is typically drawn into chasing a Kaitou Kid dummy or shutting off the defensive measures instead of wisely making sure that Kaitou Kid isn't still on the scene or only pretending to have bypassed security (which is often really the case). <br />
<br />
Though a dedicated and capable police officer, Nakamori is always outsmarted by Kid, and even when he captures Kid, Kid somehow finds a way to escape. Nakamori doesn't like asking for help, but heavily appreciates the work of [[Conan Edogawa]], who often lends him a hand in trying to outsmart and capture Kid. All of the Kid's cases that involved Conan, end with the Kid giving back the treasure that he robs.<br />
<br />
Despite his intense dislike for Kid, Nakamori respects his rival's personality and sense of honor, willingly acknowledging that murder or similar capital crimes are completely out of the question for Kid. He becomes depressed and worried when Kid doesn't send out notices in a while because it means he has nothing to do; the return of Kaitou Kid pleased him greatly.<br />

<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
==== Kaito Kuroba ====<br />
Nakamori is already familiar with Kaito's civilian persona, as he is friends with his daughter Aoko. He has known Kaito since they were kids, and he takes care of him regularly, having even dinner together. He also does know that Kaito is the son of a renowned magician and quite skilled in magic himself. Because of this, he will sometimes ask for Kaito's assistance and advice on various strategies to capture Kaitou Kid; or trust his perspective on some cases. <br />
<br />
At one point, Nakamori began to suspect that Kaito was in fact Kaitou Kid. He later dismissed this theory when Kaitou Kid showed off his disguise skills, boasting that he could appear to be anyone, even people close to him. <br />
<br />
In some cases, Aoko and Kaito do deliver to the Inspector their meals at work, and because of chances like these, Kaito gets to see the security from the inside.<br />
<br />
==== Aoko Nakamori ====<br />
Though he loves his daughter [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]], Nakamori is often too busy pursuing Kaitou Kid to spend time with her (on one occasion even forgetting her birthday). On rare occasions, even he will find her tempers intimidating.<br />
<br />
=== Other ===<br />
==== Saguru Hakuba ====<br />
Nakamori is usually dismissive of [[Saguru Hakuba|Saguru]], and seems to mostly tolerate the teenage detective because of his status as Superintendent-General Hakuba's son. However, he will occasionally accept Saguru's help when Saguru seems to have developed a particularly brilliant strategy to capture Kid.<br />
<br />
==== Shintaro Chaki ====<br />
Nakamori mostly maintains a cordial, professional relationship with his immediate superior in the police department, despite the fact that Chaki is typically far less impatient than he is.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa ====<br />
Though his interactions with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] have been limited thus far, Nakamori seems to have taken a liking to the young boy and his propensity to frustrate Kid's schemes, and is willing to listen to his suggestions and questions.<br />
<br />
==== Jirokichi Suzuki ====<br />
Nakamori is often exasperated by [[Jirokichi Suzuki]]'s boisterous, self-centered personality and constant flaunting of wealth, though he will usually do his best to cooperate with the Suzuki Corporation adviser's many plans to capture Kaitou Kid.<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
* Like other characters in ''Magic Kaito'', Nakamori's name contains a color. The "gin" in Nakamori's first name means "silver".<br />
* The surname "Nakamori" comes from [[Wikipedia: Akina Nakamori|Akina Nakamori]].<ref>Love Conan - Meitantei Conan Official Fan Book for Girls</ref><br />

<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Nakamori can be compared to [[Koichi Zenigata|Inspector Zenigata]], the main antagonist from ''[[Lupin III]]''. Like Nakamori, Zenigata focuses his whole sole career around chasing a master thief of a renown lineage (Arsène Lupin III). Both are respected officers of the law, both are talented enough to keep up with and challenge their target, and both respect their targets despite their opposing positions of the law. Unlike Zenigata though, Nakamori seems more content on finally arresting Kid once and for all, while Zenigata has gone crazy during times Lupin was in jail (once intentionally staying there longer just to push Zenigata's buttons). It seems while Nakamori wants to arrest Kid based on his beliefs of the law, Zenigata's pursuit of Lupin has gone to the point of that is what he wants to do his whole life.<br />

<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
==== Kaito Kuroba ====<br />
Nakamori is already familiar with Kaito's civilian persona, as he is friends with his daughter Aoko. He has known Kaito since they were kids, and he takes care of him regularly, having even dinner together. He also does know that Kaito is the son of a renowned magician and quite skilled in magic himself. Because of this, he will sometimes ask for Kaito's assistance and advice on various strategies to capture Kaitou Kid; or trust his perspective on some cases. <br />
<br />
At one point, Nakamori began to suspect that Kaito was in fact Kaitou Kid. He later dismissed this theory when Kaitou Kid showed off his disguise skills, boasting that he could appear to be anyone, even people close to him. <br />
<br />
In some cases, Aoko and Kaito do deliver to the Inspector their meals at work, and because of chances like these, Kaito gets to see the security from the inside.<br />
<br />
==== Aoko Nakamori ====<br />
Though he loves his daughter [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]], Nakamori is often too busy pursuing Kaitou Kid to spend time with her (on one occasion even forgetting her birthday). On rare occasions, even he will find her tempers intimidating.<br />
<br />
=== Other ===<br />
==== Saguru Hakuba ====<br />
Nakamori is usually dismissive of [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]], and seems to mostly tolerate the teenage detective because of his status as Superintendent-General Hakuba's son. However, he will occasionally accept Saguru's help when Saguru seems to have developed a particularly brilliant strategy to capture Kid.<br />
<br />
==== Shintaro Chaki ====<br />
Nakamori mostly maintains a cordial, professional relationship with his immediate superior in the police department, despite the fact that Chaki is typically far less impatient than he is.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa ====<br />
Though his interactions with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] have been limited thus far, Nakamori seems to have taken a liking to the young boy and his propensity to frustrate Kid's schemes, and is willing to listen to his suggestions and questions.<br />
<br />
==== Jirokichi Suzuki ====<br />
Nakamori is often exasperated by [[Jirokichi Suzuki]]'s boisterous, self-centered personality and constant flaunting of wealth, though he will usually do his best to cooperate with the Suzuki Corporation adviser's many plans to capture Kaitou Kid.<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
* Like other characters in ''Magic Kaito'', Nakamori's name contains a color. The "gin" in Nakamori's first name means "silver".<br />
* The surname "Nakamori" comes from [[Wikipedia: Akina Nakamori|Akina Nakamori]].<ref>Love Conan - Meitantei Conan Official Fan Book for Girls</ref><br />

<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Nakamori can be compared to [[Koichi Zenigata|Inspector Zenigata]], the main antagonist from ''[[Lupin III]]''. Like Nakamori, Zenigata focuses his whole sole career around chasing a master thief of a renown lineage (Arsène Lupin III). Both are respected officers of the law, both are talented enough to keep up with and challenge their target, and both respect their targets despite their opposing positions of the law. Unlike Zenigata though, Nakamori seems more content on finally arresting Kid once and for all, while Zenigata has gone crazy during times Lupin was in jail (once intentionally staying there longer just to push Zenigata's buttons). It seems while Nakamori wants to arrest Kid based on his beliefs of the law, Zenigata's pursuit of Lupin has gone to the point of that is what he wants to do his whole life.<br />

'''{{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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
''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.<br />
<br />
[[File:APTX 4869 given to Shinichi.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi being drugged.]] <br />
=== The Transformation ===<br />
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><br />
{{clearleft}}<br />
[[File:Agasa shinichi.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi as conan in his shrunken form with Hiroshi Agasa first time met and Professor Agasa will go to <br />
Report to the police about this kid]]<br />
=== Taking a new identity ===<br />
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. <br />
<br />
=== Creation of the Detective Boys ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan stuns Kogoro with his wristwatch, ready to solve a case!]]<br />
<br />
=== Solving cases ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Encounter Black Organization ===<br />
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.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
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".<br />
<br />
[[File:Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]<br />
[[File:Ran conan do not tell.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi <br> (Picture from the "[[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode one]]" version).]]<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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".<br />
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 <br />
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.<br />
[[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan whispers to [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]]<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <ref>The Celebrities' Secret</ref><ref>Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter</ref><ref>Scuba Diving Murder Case</ref><ref>Poisoned Fisherman Attempted Murder Case</ref><br />
<br />
After he had one time failed to stop the culprit from committing suicide,<ref>[[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case|Episodes 11: Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]].</ref> he began to believe that a detective who has cornered a killer and just let him kill himself is no better than a murderer, and therefore he tries to do everything to stop it. At times when he fails to save the killer it haunts him. At first, he's callous and unempathetic: in The Bandage Man Villa murder case, when the culprit threatens to commit suicide, Shinichi calls his bluff by outright telling him to do it. However, soon after that Shinichi suffers through his own Norbury with the Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, during which a culprit commits suicide because Shinichi identified them without thinking ahead to how the culprit might react. The next two cases where a culprit plans to commit suicide has Shinichi removing the lethal tools before confronting them and placing officers around the perimeter to prevent the culprit from jumping respectively—and in each instance, Shinichi is clearly haunted by the death of the culprit in the Moonlight Sonata case, enough to snap at Hattori for offhandedly suggesting it may have been better if they let the culprit of the day actually kill themself, stating that a detective that allows that is "no better than a murderer himself." The Detective's Nocturne case caps off this development arc, with Shinichi accompanying and befriending a suicidal murderer in order to form an emotional connection and convince them not to kill themself.<br />
<br />
However, an innate characteristic that he has, and probably had as Shinichi may be due to being a detective. Whenever he hears a scream, or sees a culprit, he will immediately and without hesitation run toward the sound or culprit instictively. <br />
<br />
If he is with another adult, or detective, he will most likely be in the front 2 people running toward the sound. <br />
If by himself or with some other non detective, he will still be running toward the sound.<br />
Whether it is a victim or a culprit, he will be one of the first 2 people.<br />
<br />
If it is to a victim, and another detective or officer is present, he may hang back a little, but he has no hesitations to checking on the victim, looking for clues, or going after culprits.<br />
<br />
And while it may have been somewhat forced on, Shinichi/Conan stops being as attention-seeking as he was in his original body.<br />
Subtle, but during "The 3 'K's of Osaka" story, Conan/Shinichi didn't want to investigate the case because his soccer idol was a suspect (and later confirmed to be the actual culprit). Afterwards, he stopped thinking like this, deciding that even if his friends, family, or someone who is close to either one is a suspect, he will consider that person a suspect until proven otherwise (such as Genta's dad being a possible suspect in "The Culprit is Genta's Dad" or Ran in "Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid").<br />
In regards to his attitude in dealing with mysterious and dangerous Black Organization (B.O.), Shinichi initially and arrogantly believed he could easily take them down, taking only minimum precautions in safety of himself and others. For example, when a B.O. member was suspected to be near in the "Reunion With The Black Organization" arc, Conan's way of protecting Haibara from being recognized is simply putting glasses on her; unfortunately, their was a B.O. member (Pisco) who instantly knew that Haibara was the shrunken Shiho Miyano and would have revealed her identity had he not been killed by Gin. It could've ended in more tragedy since Gin was very close to killing Haibara. This incident was a major wake-up call to the young detective that the organization isn't as easy to take down as he thought and that if he made a mistake, he or his loved ones could die. And while Shinichi/Conan still has a bit of a reckless side, he now asks for help when dealing with the B.O. and formulating plans to keep him and his allies safe.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:Conan full face.png|thumb|right|200px|]]<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />

Conan eavesdrop Police investigation meeting in [[Zero the Enforcer|Conan the movie 22]] to save Kogoro mouri from being a suspect.]]<br />
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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory photographic memory] to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Conan's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony that other people miss, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies 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]], [[Saguru]] and [[Yusaku]] who are at the same detective level as Conan, with Yusaku be the only person who is noticeably better than Conan.<br />
<br />
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><br />
<br />
Additionally, in the [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Red, White, Yellow case]], Conan was specifically referred to and asked for help by a fellow classmate.<br />
<br />
=== Observation Sense ===<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
[[Conan Cornered in the Darkness|At one point]], this is why he was kidnapped, and placed in a coffin with a fake bottom, in an old style hearse, which the kidnappers did not know was going to be sent to the scrapyard and crushed within hours of placing him in there.<br />
<br />
<br />
He is also a real people watcher, and spends a lot of time watching people to help determine careers, emotions, what is going on with them to name a few. If need be he will get up, and investigate further.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
Some Examples are the following:<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Home of Beika's Grenier]], when the old man used a hand to stand up, despite the presence of 4 little children, Conan noticed instantly the look that the old woman gave her husband, since he should not have used his hands to stand up in the presence of others.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[The Tense Tea Party]], in [[Haido Central Hospital]], Conan was watching [[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]], and instantly noticed how he reacted after a small child was counting down, "Three... Two... One..." and shouted out, "Zero!!" Since Amuro noticed his own reaction, he had to cover it up, and say that "'Zero' was one his nicknames when he was a little child." <br />
<br />
<br />
This was really the first clue to Conan that Amuro may not just be the Black Organization Member Bourbon, but [[Public Security Bureau|something else too]]. During [[The Scarlet Return]], Conan began to deduce from his own observations, that Amuro was from the Japanese Secret Police, which became confirmed by the end of the saga.<br />
<br />
<br />
Even when he was little he was practicing observing details and guessing careers of people, [[Episode 881|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.<br />
<br />
=== Being Watched or Paranoia Sense ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
This may stem from his involvement with the [[Black Organization]], and others. <br />
<br />
It may also help that his parents like to watch their son in disguise, and [[Yukiko Kudo|esp. his Master Of Disguise Mother]], with his [[Yusaku Kudo|Mystery Author father's]] habit of testing his son's observations and deductions from the time when he was really a young child. <br />
<br />
This ability is even more important due to the Black Organization wanting both [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] and his [[Shinichi Kudo|teenage self]] 'Dead," since it helps to protect them.<br />
<br />
<br />
This sense comes in a lesser degree as well:<br />
<br />
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. <br />
He can even speak this way to the [[Detective Boys]].<br />
<br />
<br />
This Sense also allows him to eventually realize when he is being highly descriptive, and rambling with adult knowledge, for him to quickly cover it up with "saw it on Tv'" "Heard it from [[Kogoro Mouri|Uncle]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], or [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]," and to begin talking and acting like a kid, even though the Detective Boys do not get why he suddenly goes all child-like, which is really the only time he does.<br />
<br />
<br />
It may also help him to know when [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] is suspicious that he is Shinichi Kudo, so he has to attempt to behave more like a child to mislead her for her own protection.<br />
<br />
<br />
This sense also allows him to determine if it is safe to use his tranquilizer on someone for the "sleeping Detective" routine. If he is being too closely watched, he has to continue to give hints, and possibly throughout the entire deduction, if he is unable to tranquilize someone: Kogoro, [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], or someone else, if necessary.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This sense did not seem to activate at all at [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|the shrine]], when he was talking to Jodie, however, after a disguised Bourbon had a little chat with Jodie, and secretly placed a listening device in her sleeve, he wandered off, so that he can continue listening to them. <br />
<br />
<br />
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, [[Sweet and Cold Delivery Service|when she attempts to hide her face from him]].<br />
<br />
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."<br />
<br />
Needless to say, after the [[Kogoro in the Bar]] case, when Takagi told him some information, he was really on high alert, and this sense may not have activated due to his panic mode, which was still evident at the beginning of [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well]] case, although he was being observed by Bourbon, who was listening around the corner, however for several hours later, he did appear to be quite paranoid, and maybe that is why it did not appear to activate, because he was already on high alert and frightened at the time.<br />
<br />
Now, these sense is sometimes just a fleeting sense, however, something did seem to activate it, even if it was just momentarily, but it does leave to a hint that someone might be watching him.<br />
<br />
=== Speed Reader ===<br />
In [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], he was shown to be able to read through hospital records at lightning fast speed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Killer Radar ===<br />
This radar is obviously not completely accurate, but at times, he only has to see a person to know that they are the killer.<br />
<br />
In the first episode, he could sense that [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] were killers, but that did not stop him from tailing Vodka, only to be knocked out by Gin, and fed a [[Apoptoxin 4869|poison pill, which made him shrink to the body of a 7 year old]].<br />
<br />
In [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion]], he knew who the killer within minutes of the body being discovered, and merely had to get the evidence and figure out the trick.<br />
<br />
There are many other instances as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[The Mysterious Woman With Amnesia Case]], he probably would have picked up on the amnesiac woman being a killer, but she did have amnesia, although he highly suspected when he saw her hands, which are the hands of someone who works with wire. He picked up that she was a hit woman, who specialized in killing by use of a wire garrote, which she used to strangle her victims.<br />
<br />
<br />
In one episode, someone fell from a balcony, and Conan instantly knew this woman was the killer. The police brought up the information of her husband being killed during a robbery awhile back. <br />
<br />
After she was questioned, and was allowed to leave, Conan began acting and begging her to let him ride in her expensive looking car, and she did.They left without [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].<br />
<br />
He even managed to have her take him to see her place.<br />
<br />
After she left him alone, he began investigating, and around the time of his deduction, Kogoro called him, and the call ended soon afterward.<br />
<br />
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."<br />
<br />
=== Suicide Alertness ===<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case]], Conan had asked, [[Heiji]], "If he ever killed anyone before," stating that he feels that letting a person commit suicide when it can be stopped is the same as killing the person oneself.<br />
While Conan was talking with Heiji, he was also replacing the gasoline with water in order to stop the culprits Murder/Suicide.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister, and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone, but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken. <br />
<br />
The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency, if Kogoro cannot name the killer, and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].<br />
<br />
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. <br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], Conan quickly figured out that the woman in the agency's bathroom was really the killer of the "accused deceased guy. <br />
After [[Bourbon|Amuro]], [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], Ran, and Conan escorted her home to her apartment, then Conan behaved like he was desperate to use the bathroom, which 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
When he was finished with his investigation, he left the apartment and waited for her. <br />
<br />
After Masumi called Ran, Amuro and Kogoro realized there are bugs present, and Amuro hung up on Masumi. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
Ran told Masumi and Agasa that Conan has been kidnapped, which of course sets the stage for the big rescue scene:<br />
<br />
Masumi on her motorcycle<br />
<br />
[[Subaru]], [[Agasa]], and [[Haibara]] in Subaru's car, with Haibara wearing the tracking glasses.<br />
<br />
Amuro, Ran, and Kogoro in another Vehicle, with Kogoro in the back Seat.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
In another episode, Conan was with [[the Detective Boys]], when they came across a man, and after he dropped his lottery tickets, they helped him to pick it up. This man was talking positively about the future, and he even had lunch with the 5 children. <br />
<br />
After he left, Conan apparently notified and began teaching the other Detective Boys the signs that this man was about to commit suicide today, and they followed this man to a subway station.<br />
<br />
Conan stating, "It'll hurt, you know," referring to jumping in front of the subway train.<br />
<br />
Conan and all of the Detective Boys: [[Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko]], [[Ayumi]], ande [[Haibara]] told him their evidence that he was about to commit suicide.<br />
<br />
Conan even managed to help him to locate his winning lottery ticket that he had lost, which was inside of the eyeglass container that his sick and hospitalized granddaughter gave him. He had not opened it since he lost that ticket. He was contemplating suicide in order to have his life insurance pay for her operation, thankfully he now has the lottery ticket, which may be able to help his granddaughter.<br />
<br />
After all, if he did commit suicide, the insurance company would not have paid it, if they were aware it was a suicide, which thankfully these 5 kids prevented.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, Conan began teaching the other Detective Boys some of the signs of a suicidal person, so they may be aware of them next time they find another suicidal person.<br />
<br />
=== Bluffing and Telling Lies===<br />
He can bluff, if needed in order to come to the correct deduction, however he is not a great Liar. <br />
<br />
Bluffing is giving misinformation, in order to trip up the culprit. A few examples of Conan's Bluffs are the following:<br />
<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
In [[The Case of the Lucky Calico|the Lucky Calico]] case, he really told 2 bluffs, although only 1 bluff was discussed:<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
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 [http://catnip catnip], would have no effect on [[Taii]] or [[Goro]], so that Taii's true owner can be properly identified.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister, and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone, but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken. <br />
<br />
The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency, if Kogoro cannot name the killer, and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].<br />
<br />
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. <br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
As far as his cover of Conan Edogawa, he does have a hard time keeping others ignorant of his true identity.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
Two major examples of his being a lousy liar:<br />
<br />
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. <br />
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|Black Organization Operatives]] may not kill him. She then thanked him for "picking up her shoe for her," before leaving.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Haido Central Hospital]], [[Amuro]] asked Conan if he remembers his friend, [[Kusuda Rikumichi]], who was a patient, but went missing.<br />
[[The Tense Tea Party|Conan, quickly trying to end that line of questioning from Bourbon, quickly answered, "No."]]<br />
<br />
<br />
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." <br />
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. <br />
It is like Amuro decided to give the kid a tip on how to tell a convincing lie.<br />
<br />
=== Strategist ===<br />
He may not have always been a great strategist, but his strategies are becoming much better. <br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Boy Genta's Misfortune]], he deduced information pertaining to the Culprit, and ... He may not have organized the stakeout of that building yet, however he definitely did organize a road block with Sato, who got in contact with Yumi in [[The Man from Chicago]], when a [[James Black|foreign man]] was kidnapped. Unfortunately, Yumi did let them through since they were in a police car, and dressed as policemen, however when they deduced that Conan came up with a scheme so that the police can surround the culprits, by making it look like they were chasing some kidnappers, who kidnapped some kids. The plan worked wonders. By the way, even James Black the kidnappee, knew who staged his rescue with that ploy, after just one encounter with the five "Detective Boys," and all Conan had to go on was "P & A."<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], when Conan was on the phone with [[Vodka]], pretending to be the recently found '[[Suguru Itakura|dead guy]],' he successfully managed to move the meet up. He wanted to have the meet before they found out the guy was dead, and he was hoping to get fingerprints, saliva, DNA, etc. <br />
<br />
The thing is it may have worked if [[Gin]] did not stop Vodka from touching the item. In short, Gin became aware that someone crafty, like a fox, is after them. In short, Conan forgot, who he was dealing with, the "[[Black Organization|Men in Black]]," and to be more precise, the two that [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|shrunk, and almost killed]] him before.<br />
<br />
Conan managed to survive that encounter, but just barely due to Gin discounting something important. At any rate, Conan was stuck in that locker for several hours, and even lost some oxygen, and blacked out for awhile. Conan has since that time became much more cautious when dealing with the organization, unfortunately there is no one-hundred percent safe way to take on that organization.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Episode 345|Head-To-Head]], after he received an invitation from [[Vermouth]], he asked [[Haibara]] about her, and decided to tranquilize her, and lock her in the basement, and attempted to hide the spare tracking glasses.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
He e-mailed someone and got a reply and a sudden cough.<br />
He inspected his house, and found [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother]].<br />
<br />
<br />
He told his mother about Vermouth, and her knowing his identity. He had her do some disguises.<br />
Yukiko disguised [[Hattori]] as first a teenage Shinichi, and then as the Invisible Man for the party.<br />
She then disguised Conan to took like Haibara.<br />
She then gave herself a Medusa Disguise, and accompanied Hattori on the ship with Kudo's invitation.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Jodie]] picked up Haibara, who was really a disguised Conan, and he told her what to say in order for Vermouth to reveal herself.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Clash of Red and Black]], he came up with a few strategies:<br />
He told his plan to [[Akai]], who was heavily involved with both major SECRET strategies.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Fist, you need a "[[Eisuke Hondo|Prince]] to wake up the [[Kir|sleeping Princess]]," which means Eisuke to wake up his sister, who is continuing to fake her comatose condition.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]], Conan had even less time to come up with a working strategy, since he did have his guard down. Thankfully, his mother let him know Vermouth was on the train, and he saw the Picture [[Mitsuhiko]] took of [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], when she saved them a little earlier.<br />
<br />
<br />
He had to quickly come up with a plan, which used an all-star cast of himself, his mother, [[Subaru]], and [[Kaito Kid|Kid disguised as Sherry]] as the finishing touches.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Scarlet showdown|the Scarlet episodes]], after Camel let it slip that [[Rikumichi Kusuda|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.<br />
<br />
This time, Akai was in the back of Jodie and Camel's car.<br />
<br />
His mother, Yukiko Kudo, was disguised as her husband appearing on tv at an awards ceremony.<br />
<br />
His father, Yusaku Kudo, was dressed as [[Subaru]]. <br />
His father was wearing a voice changing facemask, and did a bit of coughing.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Athletic ability ===<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Acting Ability ===<br />
He may not have great acting ability, however he is good enough to accomplish his goals.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], he was given some juice, drugged with sleeping pills. He noticed that the safety seal was broken, so he pretended to drink it, and also at some time, appeared to fall asleep, spilling half of the juice on the back seat floorboard of her car, and really acted asleep for a long time. <br />
<br />
At some point, she even laid him down in the back seat, where he remained in that pose for a long time. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
He continued acting asleep, when she returned, although he probably went through her coat pockets when she was away.<br />
<br />
He continued acting asleep, until he decided that he had enough evidence for his deduction, and to give it to her.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Two Days with the Culprit]], after he was kidnapped by Ryousuke Oomine, when he had an opening in some kind of room, he acted like he was scared of a rat or something, and began hugging, but in reality, he was frisking him in order to determine if he is armed.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night]], Conan did a good job of acting like [[Haibara]] in the car with [[Jodie]], but he probably broke character 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
When he woke up, he pretended that he had amnesia.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[The Woman with White Hands|The Woman with White Hands Case]], while rehearsing his lines for tomorrow's play, Conan is playing 'Ikku' in the school play. <br />
<br />
All of the following: [[Kobayashi-sensei]], [[Rumi Wakasa|Rumi-sensei]] as well as Conan's classmates are astonished at his wonderful acting and delivery of his lines. <br />
<br />
He told Haibara that he played that part when he was in third grade, and his parents had trained him well. With [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother being an actress]], and his [[Yusaku Kudo|father being a mystery writer]], who suggested a better phrase for him to say rather than the written line. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[A Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case]], at a beer garden at night, Conan overheard this man on the phone, and surmissed that his child had been abducted. Surprisingly Kogoro and Ran listened, and they followed this man, who they found out was a dentist.<br />
<br />
However, the only way to find out more, and everything, is to talk to the dentist. Since there may be some onlookers, Conan decided to play the part of a patient.<br />
<br />
He did a magnificent job of acting like a little boy who had an excruciatingly bad toothache in order to convince any onlookers that he was a patient, so that they could enter the Dentist office and talk to the Dentist. He appeared to be even louder than Kogoro on the intercom, asking for his child to be able to see the dentist, even though the dentist office is closed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As good as he is at acting, he is not always great at it.<br />
<br />
Most notibly, when he is petrified.<br />
<br />
When he hears the [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children's melody]], he is unable to even act, like it is nothing, and esp. if he hears if in regards to dialing the [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Boss's]] [[The Raven Chaser|E-mail]] [[Dissonance of the Stradivarius Violin|address]].<br />
<br />
At the [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|shrine with Jodie]], he was definity unguarded, and the two did quite a bit of talking: before and after she had been bugged by a disguised [[Bourbon]] (Claiming to be [[Tohei Benzaki|a hostage, who was coincidentally pickpocketed just prior to being knocked out by Bourbon]], at the same bank with Jodie and the [[Scar Akai|scarred guy]]), until a disguised Vermouth (Claiming to be his [[Motoe Benzaki|6 month pregnant wife, who taped up Jodie]] at the bank) removed the bug.<br />
<br />
In the [[Kogoro in the Bar|Kogoro at the Bar Case]], [[Takagi Wataru|Detective Takagi]] notified Conan, that Tohei Benzaki, claims that he was never involved in a pickpocket case, and that he is single, and Conan begins to remember that the Bank robbers separated the hostages, who came with someone, from those who came alone. Only those who came alone taped up the ones who came with others.<br />
<br />
This placed Conan in a panicky state, and he began running from the bar, probably to the [[Agasa|professor]]'s house, since it is unlikely that he would have fled back to the Detective Agency, since [[Haibara]] might be in danger. If he did go to Agasa's house, it may also have placed [[Subaru]]/ [[Akai]] in danger too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|the Bathroom where Ran Collapsed As Well Case]], he was still running from the bar. <br />
<br />
He began thinking that Bourbon and Vermouth may have made those purposeful mistakes in their story to trap him into making a mistake too, so he tried to calm down, and called Haibara, who apparently is safe, at this time. He then hung up.<br />
<br />
Around the corner, Bourbon had been closely watching him, when he was on the phone.<br />
<br />
<br />
Later that day, [[Ran]] and Conan were in an apartment complex lobby, while they were waiting for [[Eri Kisaki|Ran's mother]], in order to have lunch. <br />
<br />
Conan was attempting to act normal, although he failed miserably, since he was literally looking around the entire time, since they arrived, and probably ever since he hung up from Haibara earlier.<br />
<br />
<br />
He was so obviously frightened, that Ran asked if he is okay. He answered in the affirmative, but soon afterwards, he was literally sweating bullets.<br />
<br />
Ran thought about taking him home, rather than eating with her Mom, since he might be coming down with something.<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon afterwards, an already terrified Conan begins hearing the shutter of a camera, and becomes even more terrified. Soon afterwards, he saw a camera take his picture from behind a nearby chair, and [[Masumi]] came out of hiding, which really helped his fear to disappear, so that he can really go back to his normal "Not terrified for your life" state again. <br />
<br />
She probably witnessed his fear, while working on a case for her client, but chose to help him to calm down finally.<br />
<br />
<br />
In short, when he is terrified, he is unable to act like everything is normal.<br />
<br />
<br />
Another way that he fails at acting is when he cracks the culprit's trick, and gets the last bit of evidence for his deduction. <br />
<br />
If anyone is really watching Conan at these times, he may have some explaining to do. <br />
However no one is really paying attention to him at these many times. They are either not around, due to 'less footwork' or completely ignoring him, unless they (Kogoro) wants to get on to him for being where he shouldn't, and reacts promptly to that reprimand, rather than really observing him.<br />
<br />
He has shown both of these expressions a lot, and sometimes even both of them.<br />
The first is when he usually figures out the trick, and the momentary reaction he has when everything clicks into place.<br />
The second has finally been termed as a 'Prankster Smile' in the lucky calico case, by the detective boys, most noticeably Haibara and Ayumi in that order to realize that when he shows that smile, he has cracked the case and figured out everything.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, he is frequently unable to act bored much of the time, even as Conan, since he is a genius, who could probably teach his high school teachers things as Shinichi Kudo, and bring him back to elementary school, and he is bored to death if he can't use his intellectual brain, which does help that most of the culprits do have a trick that requires to be cracked if they are to be caught.<br />
<br />
However, if a trick, code, or riddle is highly perplexing, Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement, which he is not good at hiding to the observant.<br />
<br />
=== Thirst For Intellectual Stimuli ===<br />
In [[The Secret of the Moon, the Star, and the Sun]], Professor Agasa made a treasure hunt game for the Detecctive Boys, really wanting it to be very difficult that Shinichi would practically give up, forgetting that if it was that way, the three real first graders would be unable to crack it at all.<br />
<br />
At any rate, Conan had already cracked the case, and found the professor's box within five minutes of entering the house, and he was focused on a much more complex code that someone else had come up with at the house.<br />
<br />
The Detective Boys reprimanded Conan for being lazy, and not helping figuring out where the clues to the Professor's treasure hunt, so that Conan had to lead the lazy children to each clue, so it is surprising that he did not just tell them where the box is, and don't bother him while he is focused on this less boring code.<br />
<br />
However, Agasa noticed Conan's deliriously happy expression when he was getting to solve a complicated riddle. Conan even stated, "The more I don't understand, the more excited I get." <br />
<br />
Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement in these cases, much like his boredom when he cannot use his brain, and [[The Final Screening Murder Case]] showed his limit is really only two hours, than he HAS to use his brain to be HAPPY. <br />
<br />
He really only seems happy when he is able to use his brain or with Ran, and even then, there are lots of idiots in his world, not saying names though. Even though she is not one usually. <br />
<br />
Thankfully, most of the culprits do use a trick or code to excite him, in contrast to a very simple one in [[The Secret of the High Sales]], which was solved by 3 real first grade children. He even stated at the end of that case, "His brain needs a smart culprit." Due to the simpleness of the culprit, he had a hard time with that case. That may explain why Haibara was uninvolved in that case, since she was aware 'the culprit' was too simple and unintellectual for Conan's level of complexity.<br />
<br />
<br />
In fact, in [[Conan vs. Kaitou Kid]], he was bored at the talk of the thief, since "This is stupid. Thieves are boring.," and planned on going to bed, however as soon as they mentioned about a coded message of announcement, he was all ears. In fact. Even though he cracked the code at Beika Museum, in the daytime, he did not tell anyone else that they were far off the mark. <br />
<br />
Instead, he snuck out at night in order to meet the Kid that night. Conan asked Agasa about tome information in his father's files, before meeting Kid, since he was fascinated to meet Kaito Kid, a "strange retro-thief, whose crazy enough to announce his moves."<br />
<br />
Thankfully, there are some detectives and federal agents, where he can really show his intellectual stimuli, and this is done by them recognizing that he is the one really solving Kogoro's cases, and that he is a very smart child, even if they are unaware of who he really is:<br />
[[Jodie Starling]], [[James Black]], [[Miwako Sato]], [[Kansuke Yamato]], and [[Yui Uehara]], and even [[Wataru Takagi]], and the famous Shogi player, [[Shukichi Haneda]], an [[Black Organization|undercover]] [[Japanese Intelligence Agencies|Federal Agent]], [[Rei Furuya]].<br />
<br />
It is hard to say if he can even hide his intellect and thirst for it from [[Hyoue Kuroda]], a [[Rum]] Contender, due to the fact that before their [[Kawanakajima Murder Case|first case]], Kuroda had already allowed it to be known that he was aware of Conan's deductive intelligence, by his introduction of Conan, 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and say that Conan has a ability to crack cases by seeing what no one else does. Conan Edogawa, Detective," in front of the Nagano Policemen present. In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent]], he refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: Ninzaburo Shiratori and Inspector Yuminaga. <br />
<br />
As much as Conan may want to hide his intellect from Hyoue Kuroda, until he deduces Rum's identity, it may not be possible. <br />
After all, in a case, Kuroda did tell Takagi and Megure to do whatever Conan says, and in another case, he did instruct Bourbon to answer all of Conan's questions about the case, when he realized that Conan is also investigating this case too.<br />
<br />
=== First aid ===<br />
Conan has repeatedly dispensed first aid to stabbed/shot/cardiac/poisoned/hurt victims before the rescuers arrive.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[A June Bride Murder Case]], In the manga, Conan rinses out Miss Matsumoto's mouth out with milk after he sees her collapsing, in an effort to neutralize the poison in her body. It is later stated that this bit of first aid may have been the reason to why Miss Matsumoto was discharged from the hospital sooner than anticipated. These parts are cut from the anime entirely.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Scuba Diving Murder Case]], after a woman had suffered a snake bite from a water snake, Conan immediately grabbed a glass of ice tea, and gave it to those sucking out the poison, and treating her. <br />
<br />
Although Kogoro had no knowledge of any of this, Eri told him, "Ice Tea has Tannin. The first thing to do in the case of a snake bite... is to make use of the Tannin component in tea to clean the wound and alleviate the poison." While Kogoro is flabbergasted that Conan is aware of what to do in a snake bite, Eri states, "That boy is quite sharp. Compared to people like us, sitting here with our arms folded, he's much more of an asset. More importantly, the ex-policeman here doesn't seem to know a thing about this."<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[The Celebrities' Secret]], is the first case that does go more into detail about Conan's first aid skills, such as giving sugar sticks to a person who attempted suicide with a hypoglycemic drug, which is used to treat Diabetes. The other case that showed his first aid skills was in Scuba Diving Murder Case, when he quickly grabbed a glass of ice tea, due to the needed Tannin, in order to combat the poisonous snake bite. In the other case, he handed the tea to the rescuers, however in this case, he began administering it himself.<br />
<br />
<br />
In all three cases, the person survived, due to his first aid knowledge and skills.<br />
<br />
However, this is just three of the cases that showcases it, or two in the anime.<br />
<br />
=== Stamina ===<br />
It is hard to say about his stamina, since he was shrunk down to Conan. <br />
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.<br />
<br />
Without Agasa's gadgets, His strength is also that of a 7 year old too, which includes his kicking strength as well.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Music ===<br />
[[File:Conan singing.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Conan sings in the Karaoke.]]<br />
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. Surprisingly, Conan recognizes Twinkle Twinkle Little Star lyric from hearing 4 sets of 7-times tapping on the phone, and can sing this song very well when he distracts a serial killer from assaulting Naeko in File 1017 (Episode 974).<br />
<br />
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."<br />
<br />
=== Bomb defusion ===<br />
Conan can defuse a bomb effortlessly without external instruction. This has been demonstrated once in canon, and multiple times in movies.<br />
<br />
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.<ref name="ep304">[[Episode 304]]</ref><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Criminal psychology ===<br />
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).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
[[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]].]]<br />
<br />
=== Reverse Psychology ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
He really had to outthink Gin, and implement Reverse Psychology, if not Reverse Reverse Psychology when planning Akai's Faked death at Railla Pass. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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."<br />
<br />
The only ones allowed in on the following secrets:<br />
<br />
Placing Kir back undercover:<br />
Conan, who planned it<br />
Akai<br />
Kir<br />
Andre Camel, who had to drive her.<br />
<br />
The other FBI members did not find out until she was placed back undercover, otherwise, they may have given the act away.<br />
<br />
Akai's Faked Death:<br />
Conan, who planned it, and even arranged Akai to meet his Mom and Agasa somewhere else to help his new disguise.<br />
Kir, who was to kill him in order to prove herself to Gin<br />
Akai, who was to die<br />
James Black, who noticed the glue or substance to Akai's fingertips, just prior to the fateful meeting.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== "7 Children" or "[[Nanatsu no Ko]]" Alertness ===<br />
This can also be called the Boss's E-Mail Address Alertness as well.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Conan may be tone deaf, but he does have Perfect Pitch and can recognize the tune of the Boss's e-mail address.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
He cannot even pretend to act normally when he hears this tune. <br />
<br />
Even just the first four digits place him on high alert, before he discovered the name of the tune. <br />
<br />
Even though Haibara stated that the e-mail address is a Pandora Box, which should never be opened, or dialed.<br />
<br />
Since he can recognize the Boss's e-mail immediately, which has shown a number of times:<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Computer skills ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid radar ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Codebreaker and Codewriter ===<br />
He is great at discovering codes, as well as deciphering them. <br />
<br />
He frequently is able to deciphering Kid's codes, among many others.<br />
In the paper airplane episode, Subaru and Conan, both managed to decipher the aiplanes' codes at about the same time.<br />
He was also able to decipher from E-V-I-T, that the next bomb was Teitan High School.<ref name="ep304"></ref><br />
<br />
He has even been shown to be able to write codes as well. When Conan, Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, were locked in a freezing delivery van, without their cell phones, and all they had on hand were some odds and ends, taxi receipt, and Taii, the cat. Conan managed to create a code out of the taxi receipt, which would look like trash to almost everyone, except the only person who would be able to decipher it in an instant, Amuro, who works at Cafe Poirot, and Taii makes his stop there everyday at around this time. The code basically read, COR...P..SE," and the license plate number.<ref>[[Episode 722]]</ref><br />
<br />
He then placed the note in Taii's collar, who managed to escape. However, when Azusa was about to hand the note to Amuro, it blew away in the wind, only for Bourbon to find out the spelling from Azusa, and pieced together instantly, "Corpse." After Azusa stated that Conan knows the cat comes here 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. <br />
<br />
Conan then remembered the cake that Agasa ordered for a delivery at a special time, located it, and wrote a message to redirect the cake to the Kudo Residence, where Subaru is living, and redirected it, "In care of Mr Kudo," and even added a message in the customer's copy of the receipt so that Subaru would know that they are trapped in the delivery van.<br />
<br />
Subaru sent a package, which was really a cell phone to help the kids. However, they were found out by the culprits. Fortunately, Amuro came in time and disabling the culprits. Conan was able to use that phone to call the police.<br />
<br />
=== Literature ===<br />
Conan recognizes a phrase ("Kill me tomorrow--but let me live tonight.") from Shakespeare's Othello, which help him realize that the victim was rehearsing a play, not really having an argument with someone. <ref>[[Episode 975]]</ref><br />
<br />
== Appellations ==<br />
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.

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Initial pursuit ===<br />
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><br />
<br />
Conan runs across the men in black again on a bullet train, this time learning their codenames: [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction of Ai Haibara===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 ... <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In regards toe the Black Organization, they both have a tendency to withhold information in order to protect the other one. <br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
The e-mail address is a Pandora's box that should never be opened.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===<br />
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] Conan and Haibara crosses paths with them at an hotel party while trying to prevent someone from dying at the hands of the organization. While there, Haibara is kidnapped by one of the members of the organization, [[Pisco]]. Conan manages to save Haibara and also learn about [[Anokata]]<br />
<br />
=== After Vermouth ===<br />
<br />
=== The Phone Number of 'That Person' ===<br />
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]]".<br />
<br />
=== Returning Back to Shinichi ===<br />
Throughout the series Conan has returned back to Shinichi several times, but never permanently. <br />
==== East versus West Detective ====<br />
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> <br />
He quickly turns back into Conan after solving the case and develops an immunity to the alcohol.<br />
<br />
==== Desperate revival ====<br />
{{Main|Prototype antidote}}<br />
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><br />
<br />
==== Shiragami case ====<br />
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><br />
<br />
==== London Arc ====<br />
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><br />

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><br />

<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
[[File:Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.]]<br />
[[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. <br />
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.<br />
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. <br />
{{clearright}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====<br />
[[File:783-2.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko nearly calls Conan "Shinichi" in public]]<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
{{clearright}}<br />
<br />
==== Hiroshi Agasa ====<br />
[[image:Agasa and Conan investigating.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan investigates with Agasa.]]<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
{{clearright}}<br />
<br />
==== "Shinichi Kudo" ====<br />
[[File:EP398 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Shinichi.]]<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Heiji Hattori ====<br />
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better, and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" (Osaka) is better than the "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives. Despite his teasing, Conan/Shinichi genuinely thinks Kazuha and Heiji would make a great couple.<br />
{{clearright}}<br />
<br />
==== Sonoko Suzuki ====<br />
She frequently talks to him like a brat and primary school kid, and he thinks of her as annoying.<br />
<br />
==== Masumi Sera ====<br />
Masumi Sera is like an 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 Saguru. Sera in return, is very protective of him and also seems to have a crush on him, calling him a "wizard"; because when they first met 10 years ago, Shinichi/Conan was able to make her brother Shuichi laugh when she couldn't.<br />
<br />
==== Eisuke Hondou ====<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Shukichi Haneda ====<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Detective Boys ===<br />
[[File:Conan and Ai.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan and Haibara investigating]]<br />
[[File:conan scary face.png|thumb|left|200px|Conan's scary face when he's intending to know Haibara's secret song]]<br />
==== Ai Haibara ====<br />
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
However, when she really introduced herself to him at night in front of the [[Kudo]] and [[Agasa|Agasa's]] house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the [[Black Organization]], even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ... <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
In regards toe the Black Organization, they both have a tendency to withhold information in order to protect the other one. <br />
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. <br />
<br />
When Conan found out that [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children]] was the [[Boss]]'s e-mail address, his initial thought was to have [[Takagi]] investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.<br />
The e-mail address is a Pandora's box that should never be opened.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Ayumi Yoshida ====<br />
[[File:759-3.png|thumb|200px|Sonoko is teasing Conan about Ayumi]]<br />
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ayumi Yoshida}}<br />
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 have a very open crush for Conan as seen in instances when she gave him kisses on his cheek. However, she seem to not be aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of Conan because of this. Sonoko once mentioned that she thought Conan likes Ayumi to which shocked Conan and made him internally admits his love for Ran.<br />
<br />
==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima ====<br />
[[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.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
=== Law enforcement ===<br />
==== Police ====<br />
[[File:Megure and Conan Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megure waffles between treating Conan like a child and a detective]]<br />
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. Even [[Sato]] also treats him more like a detective.<br />
<br />
In fact, even when Takagi is hesitant to do what Conan asks of him, as soon as Sato hears Conan's name, she immediately will take action or give him information sometimes.<br />
<br />
After [[Hyoue Kuroda]] became the superintendent of the Tokyo Prefecture, he has told Takagi and [[Megure]] to do what Conan asks of them in the [[The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case|Actress Blogger Case]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
He even periodically referrs to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" in front of the other police officers, such as: Nagano Police Prefecture Officers, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and Inspector [[Yuminaga]], as well as Bourbon, who he instructed to answer all of Conan's questions, when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case of [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]].<br />
<br />
==== Wataru Takagi ====<br />
Wataru Takagi is the only police officer who has come the closest to finding out about [[Conan]]'s identity.<br />
<br />
In [[The Man from Chicago]], When Conan is telling the police officers present about the Panda colors of the Police Cars, and that the younger generation may not know this information about their black and white cars, Takagi asks himself, "What generation is this kid from?"<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages]], while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime. Takagi asked Conan about his real identity to which Conan answered that he would in the afterlife. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Miwako Sato ====<br />
[[File:EP424 5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Miwako and Conan during a case Investigation]]<br />
<br />
She had developed deep trust of Conan and his intelligence from her real first time investigating with him, and seeing him in action in the case of [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]].<br />
<br />
Even when Takagi is hesitant to do as Conan says, unquestioningly, she will immediately and unhesitantly do as he says, almost all of the time, since she first met him.<br />
<br />
==== Kansuke Yamato ====<br />
Kansuke is one of the few police officers, who Conan can actually talk like an adult in front of. <br />
<br />
In [[A Dangerous Party of Two]], he even told [[Yui Uehara|Yui]] Uehara that he suspects Conan of being "the one leading everything," in regards to [[Kogoro|Kogoro's]] cases, and that is after only after they met up in one case so far. <br />
<br />
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 dealt with a kind of Mochi, and not what Agasa and Haibara were thinking of."<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
[[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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In [[Kawanakajima Murder Case]], which was his first appearance, he already knew that Conan was 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro,' and stated an entire dialogue stating his knowledge of Edogawa Conan in front of the Nagano Police Officers present, in his first speech to Conan.<br />
<br />
In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent|Mystery of the Burning Tent]], He refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and [[Inspector Yuminaga]].<br />
<br />
In [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]], he also instructed Amuro to answer all of Conan's questions, when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case as well.<br />
<br />
==== Rei Furuya ====<br />
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] (Aliases as Tooru Amuro) has attached himself to the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] as [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person's showed up" when he learns Rei will be joining Kogoro on cases. However, after he find out [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Amuro's membership in the Black Organization]], though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. This was made even worse when Rei caught him attempting to tranquilize Kogoro, but due to Rei's attentiveness, he was unable to, and had to give hints to Kogoro instead. Although Amuro may not have seen the trick, he became convinced that Conan was the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro, and began investigating Conan, which only made Conan more nervous of him. Their relationship later seemed to improve in [[The Scarlet Return]] when Conan learns that Rei is actually an undercover operative from Japanese Secret Police when the two exchange smiles in Café Poirot. Conan even used his Voice Changing Bow Tie in front of Rei in [[The Heartfelt Strap]].<br />
<br />
When Shinichi Kudo exposed on the media due to [[The Scarlet School Trip|Kyoto Field Trip]], he receives an email from [[Rum]], ordering him to gather information about Shinichi. After he helped to solve the [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case|Bunny Girls Case]], Amuro broke into the Kudo home, so that he can find out information about [[Kudo Shinichi]]. He had the altercation with an [[Akai Shuichi|unmasked Akai]], and both of [[Yusaku Kudo|Shinichi's]] [[Yukiko Kudo|parents]] turned on the light, so that the four of them can have a meeting. Currently, it is unknown what was discussed in that meeting, other than Conan planned it.<br />
<br />
<br />
It seemed to become strained again in the movie: [[Zero the Enforcer]], however that is due to Amuro had his subordinate, [[Yuya Kazami]] of the [[Public Security Bureau|Japanese Secret Police- Public Security Bureau]], plant phony incriminating evidence against Kogoro Mouri for a bombing incident. However, it turns out that the framing was to use Conan as a Collaborator, and to rely on his strength so that Conan can do what he was unable to do for his investigate. This way, he was able to use Conan as a Collaborator, and to rely on his strength.<br />
<br />
=== FBI ===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ====<br />
[[File:The Scarlet Return-Shuichi and Conan.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Shuichi and Conan ([[The Scarlet Return|Ep. 782]])]]<br />
[[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."<br />
<br />
==== Jodie Starling ====<br />
[[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.<br />
<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Gin and Vodka ====<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization|Reunion of the Black Organization]], Gin had to shoot himself in the arm in order to stay awake, after he was shot with Conan's tranquilizer dart. <br />
He also found Conan's bug and transmitter in his car, however due to a strand of [[Haibara Ai|Haibara's]] hair, he is convinced it was [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], who planted them.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], Gin told Vodka "You have to be always on guard. It seems there is Someone investigating about us, a Detective clever as a Fox," without being aware that it happens to apparently be a 7 year old little child.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]], he found Conan's bug and transmitter on [[Kir|Kir's]] shoe, and immediately planned to exterminate [[Kogoro Mouri]], who he was convinced left the bug. When Conan kicked a soccer ball into the Detective Agency window, Gin decided to add another victim, the little kid. Thankfully, [[Akai]] made him think the bug and transmitter were planted by the FBI, which saved them both.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]] seems to have great personal interest in Conan, referring to him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet' and her "Cool Guy."<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to Head]], After Conan removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun 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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In [[the Raven Chaser]], she even provided Conan with the name of [[Irish]], and gave him a little bit of information of why the Organization is interested in this serial murder case.<br />
<br />
<br />
In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to [[Gin]], she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," in order to protect Conan.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
==== Kaitou Kid ====<br />
{{Main|Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba}}<br />
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. <br />
<br />
[[File:704 20.png|thumb|200px|Kaitou Kid disguised as [[Shiho]] as requested from Conan]]<br />
<br />
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><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== [[Mary Sera]] ====<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== [[Kanenori Wakita]] ====<br />
In his [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|introductory case]], Conan noticed that he had a medical patch on his left eye, although Wakita claims it is only temporary. He obviously chose not to see the messy left eye, along with Kogoro and Ran.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
(He could have just asked the person that his delivery was for, but no. Let's ask the Kudos' [[Agasa Hiroshi|next door neighbor]]. Plus it is highly unlikely that [[Subaru]], the supposedly DEAD FBI agent, [[Akai]], who is residing in the [[Kudo Shinichi|Kudo]] house, which is the house to the supposedly dead teenage detective, would ever order for Delivery.

== People who know Conan's real identity ==<br />
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In the 13th movie, the Black Organization member [[Irish]] discovers that Conan is actually Shinichi Kudo.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== People who know that Conan is behind the "Sleeping Kogoro" ==<br />
{{main|List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro}}<br />
There is even a varied list of those who know that Conan is the puppeteer behind the "Sleeping Kogoro."<br />
<br />
== Gadgets ==<br />
{{main|Gadgets}}<br />
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.<br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
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.'<br />
<br />
== Character inspiration ==<br />
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><br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* 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><br />
* [[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.<br />
* 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.<br />
* Conan/Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share the same blood type as mention in episode 189.<br />
* Conan/Shinchi's favorite drink is iced coffee as shown in Episode 814, Episode 919 etc. 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.<br />
* Whenever dealing with a particularly difficult case, Shinichi/Conan juggles a soccer ball to think better. In scenes where he doesn't have one, he often holds his chin with his thumb and forefinger.<br />
* Conan/Shinichi doesn't know that ironically, due to all his secret keeping from Ran, he's potentially locked himself out of learning about Ran's own encounter(s) with the Black Organization, because she has no reason to tell 'Conan' about them. Shinichi/Conan has no idea that Ran has encountered Vermouth and saved Haibara from her, even 500+ chapters after it occurred. The fact that Haibara herself is invested in keeping Ran out of anything to do with the Black Organization only adds to this, as she deliberately lied to Conan/Shinichi about who saved her that night. Ran not knowing Conan's identity also prevents them from confiding in each other or pooling together information they might have in other areas, and thus can extend the time it takes for important realizations to come to light.<br />
*In File 1045, it is revealed that Conan and Yumi have each other's phone numbers.<br />
*In File 900, it is revealed that Conan and Miwako Sato have each other's phone numbers.<br />
* According to Gosho in Super Digest Book 90+ that from time to time, Conan wears a jumper with a "K" written on which stands for "Karl Helmutt".<br />
*No matter where Conan goes, he can't go anywhere without stumbling upon a murder or some other crime. Lampshaded after a while by whichever of the police officers happens to be on duty in that area and some of the characters:<br />
:*Megure in particular begins to wonder if Kogoro is actually the Angel of Death, later on more accurately shifting his joking suspicions towards Conan himself as seen in Episode 549.<br />
:*during The Final Screening Murder Case (manga chapter 222/anime episode 138) where the Detective Boys are watching movies in a theater and Ai tells Conan he should relax and enjoy a "child's vacation." When someone is killed at the back of the theater, Ai remarks, "It seems you never have time for a vacation."<br />
:*In episode 141, Heiji says about Conan, "Every time I see that guy a case occurs," ... about thirty seconds before a scream is heard and a body discovered.<br />
:*And during The Mystery in the Netcase (File 311-313/episodes 246-247) where the Detective Boys and Ran and Sonoko independently wind up at the same beach, Sonoko says of Conan, "The reason we didn't bring him was because there are always cases when he's around!"<br />
:**Later in the same episode, Haibara learns where Conan and the others are after they're late returning to their hotel (having discovered a murder while she was not present) by asking the hotel staff if there is a murder being investigated nearby.<br />
:*At the beginning of the first file of the paper airplane case, Conan notices how he seems to be running into cases all the time. This is the first time he's ever noticed, and this is over 600 chapters into the manga.<br />
:*Except that in the very first chapter of the whole manga, he tells Ran that murders "happen all the time", which implies that encountering a lot of murders is normal to him. The rate of cases must have ramped up even further for him to notice that something is odd.<br />
*In episode 681, it's revealed Conan has Detective Chiba's phone number.<br />

'''{{nihongo|Aoko Nakamori|中森 青子|Nakamori Aoko}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Kaito Kuroba]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Aoko has been [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]]'s best friend ever since they were young children, much like [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] in Detective Conan. Aoko currently attends [[Ekoda High School]] as a second-year student in class 2-B along with Kaito, [[Keiko Momoi|Keiko]], [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]], and [[Saguru Hakuba|Saguru]]. Aoko dislikes the [[Kaitou Kid]] for making a mockery of her father, [[Ginzo Nakamori]], but may be unaware that Kid is actually her best friend in disguise. (This information may not be true; however, many fans speculate this as Aoko is quite clever and she used to drop a sentence which is believed to doubt Kaito's true feelings, implied her concerns that he (Kaito) was always nice and gentle but something was off in him.)<br />
In both manga and anime, Aoko's family is canonly presented without her mother's appearance. This leads fans to believe that she might have died.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[File:Aoko personality.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Aoko declares Kaito isn't Kid.]]<br />
Aoko has a temperamental personality, sweet and gentle at one moment, then boisterous and fiery at the next. Like her father, she is impulsive, easily riled up, and often shouts. Kaito and Kaitou Kid in particular are often the trigger for bouts of loud, violent displays. She also has a mischievous side, using Kaito's weakness for fish to get revenge on him for harassing her.<br />
<br />
Aoko has a tendency to refer to herself in the third-person, which is considered 'cutesy' and childish in Japan. She is also shown to dress rather childishly, in skirts and cardigans when she's not in her school uniform. <br />
<br />
Aoko is shown to be very intelligent. However, she may also have rather low self-esteem. Once, to prove to her father that Kaito wasn't the Kid, she asked him out on date on the day of a Kid heist. Kaito, taken aback, snaps "Why would I go out with an ugly girl like you?" to which she tearfully replies "I know...but please!"<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=1|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=4|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref><br />
<br />
Aoko does not like being alone; she blames Kaitou Kid for stealing her father from her because she wishes her dad was at home more instead of chasing Kaitou Kid.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
==== Kaito Kuroba ====<br />
[[Image:Kaito and Aoko.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kaito and Aoko.]]<br />
{{main|Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori}}<br />
[[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] and Aoko Nakamori have been best friends since they were little and first met at the clock tower. They are portrayed as a similar pairing to Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri (including how the characters are drawn), except much sillier. Kaito often teases Aoko by flipping her skirt. However, it has been seen that Kaito is quite protective of Aoko and doesn't appear to want her to go on a date with Saguru Hakuba. Aoko was somewhat suspicious that Kaito was actually Kaitou Kid, and in order to prove his innocence, she brought him along to a movie when a heist had been scheduled. She handcuffed him to the seat, but Kaito managed to escape and pull off the heist, thus veering Aoko's suspicions away from him. Although neither has admitted it as of yet, it is shown that the two have feelings for each other.<br />
<br />
In the last chapter of ''[[Yaiba]]'' a scene set after a three years timeskip has [[Keiko Momoi]] telling [[Sayaka Mine]] that Kaito and Aoko are a couple now, while [[List of minor Magic Kaito characters#Notable minor characters|Keiko's friend]] confirms having seen them together.<br />
<br />
==== Saguru Hakuba ====<br />
[[Image:MK9 139.png|thumb|right|200px|Saguru and Aoko.]]<br />
Prior to the heist in Volume 3, Chapter 3, [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]] seems to flirt with Aoko after Kaito turns down Aoko's offer to go to the Prince Prince concert. Saguru and Kaito then make a bet that if Saguru manages to catch Kid then Saguru will go to the concert with Aoko, and if he fails to capture the thief, Kaito will go instead. When interviewed before the heist, Saguru notes "Tonight's battle has a special meaning to me".<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Kaitou Under Scrutiny|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref> Although initially excited to have Saguru want to go to the concert with her, Aoko during the actual heist seems to want Saguru to fail so that she can go to the concert with Kaito instead. This relationship has not been touched upon much since then because of Saguru's limited appearances in ''Magic Kaito'' and ''Detective Conan''.<br />

Aoko hates the [[Kaitou Kid]] for humiliating her father, [[Ginzo Nakamori]]. This is partly why Kaito has to go to such lengths to keep his identity hidden from her. However, Kaito has come under suspicion of being the Kaitou Kid several times. In one instance, Aoko went to great lengths to prove Kaito innocent: she asked him out on the day the heist was supposed to take place, and then during the actual time of the heist she handcuffed Kaito to her. Kaito, however, was able to escape and use a dummy to fool Aoko into thinking that he had been with her the entire time.<br />
<br />
Aoko frequently attends Kaitou Kid heists, similar to how [[Ran Mouri]] attends many of her father's mystery cases. Kaito has not had to prove his 'innocence' to her recently, which suggests that she now 'trusts' him.<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
* The given name "Aoko" means "blue child" in Japanese. This contrasts with her classmate [[Akako Koizumi]]'s name, which means "red child".<br />
* The surname "Nakamori" comes from [[Wikipedia: Akina Nakamori|Akina Nakamori]].<ref name="name_origin_akina">Love Conan - Meitantei Conan Official Fan Book for Girls</ref><br />

== Trivia ==<br />
[[image:Aoko Holmes.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Aoko Holmes]]<br />
[[image:Akina Nakamori.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Akina Nakamori]]<br />
* Aoko always talks in third person when referring to herself, which is seen as cute, but rather childish in Japan.<br />
* A prototype version of Aoko appears in Gosho's ''[[Nonchalant Lupin]]'' short story. In this version, Aoko is named {{nihongo|Aoko Holmes|宝陸 葵子|Hōmuzu Aoko}} and is a high school detective who started her own Detective Club.<br />
* Her name was taken from [[Wikipedia: Akina Nakamori|Akina Nakamori]] (中森 明菜)<ref name="name_origin_akina" />, an extremely popular pop idol at the time [[Gosho Aoyama]] started drawing ''Magic Kaito'', who also went to school in [[Wikipedia: Nakano, Tokyo|Nakano Ward]], where Gosho Aoyama was also living close to, using some of those surroundings as models for his series. Perhaps her rebellious and feisty image - unusual for an idol - was also an inspiration for Aoko's personality. Akina's rival [[Wikipedia: Kyōko Koizumi|Kyoko Koizumi]]'s name was used for [[Akako Koizumi]] instead.<br />
* Aoko shares a voice actor with Conan for her appearance in ''Detective Conan'' OVA 4 and episode 219.<br />
* Unlike her counterparts Ran and Kazuha, it has been suggested that Aoko has a high level of intelligence at least approaching that of her 'love-interest' Kaito. In the first file of the ''Magic Kaito'' manga, the two are causing havoc in the classroom; the teacher tries to get them to focus by asking first Kaito, then Aoko to answer a complicated math problem on the board, but both answer her question with hardly a glance at the board and continue with their mayhem.<br />
* [[Gosho Aoyama]] originally planned to have an allusion to her in connection with the blue sapphire in [[The Fist of Blue Sapphire]], but refrained from it, thinking people wouldn't notice it.<ref>[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2020]]<br><br />
Q: In the director's interview of the 2019 movie (Fist of Blue Sapphire), he talked about how you said, after the movie was finished "It was the blue sapphire so maybe I should've put hints of Aoko there"; if you had done that, how would've it been like?<br><br />
Aoyama: Ah... See, in the end he'd return the blue sapphire to him. And when he did he did so, saying he didn't need it, he'd said "I've got a better sapphire"...<br><br />
(Applause from the audience)<br><br />
Aoyama: Huh? You wanted me to actually do that? (laughs)<br><br />
Questioner: Yes!<br><br />
Aoyama: Really!? (laughs) That for real? Well, I thought you wouldn't catch (the reference) so that's why I didn't (laughs) What. So you'd actually welcomed it? Well, imagine it within your minds (laughs)<br><br />

'''{{nihongo|Akako Koizumi|小泉 紅子|Koizumi Akako}}''' is a character from ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', who also appeared in the [[anime]] of ''[[Detective Conan]]'' and in ''[[Hanzawa the Criminal]]''. She's a witch of 17 years who is well-versed in [[Wikipedia: Black magic|black]] and [[Wikipedia: Love magic|red magic]] and tries to steal the hearts of all the men in the world, but fails to do so concerning her main target, the [[Kaitou Kid]]. She's currently attending class 2-B of [[Ekoda High School]].<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]] himself suggested that she's not a [[canon]] character in the world of ''[[Detective Conan]]''.<ref name="playback_akako_canon" /><ref name="dc_mk_differences" /><br />
<br />
= Background =<br />
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-10-10-18h04m05s244.png|right|thumb|200px|Akako laughing.]]<br />
Akako is a teenage witch of considerable power who attends [[Ekoda High School]] alongside [[Kaito Kuroba]], [[Aoko Nakamori]], and [[Saguru Hakuba]]. Due to her considerable beauty and magical charms, she is very popular among the male student body.<br />
<br />
Akako does not appear to have any living parents or adult guardians. She lives in a solitary [[Akako Koizumi's Residence|Western-style mansion]] in a secluded, wooded part of [[Ekoda]] with a strange, demonic-looking servant as her only company.<br />
<br />
= Personality =<br />
Akako is typically very vain and haughty, and delights in using her magical charms to ensnare every man who crosses her path. Those who can defy her charms, such as Kaito Kuroba, frustrate as well as interest her. She also dislikes many of her female peers on principle, viewing them as rivals for attention and adoration.<br />
<br />
Beneath this arrogant exterior, however, Akako does possess a softer side. Though her interest in Kaito was once rooted in an obsession with controlling him, it eventually grew into a more complex relationship that may well be genuine (if one-sided) love. In addition, despite her claiming that human life means nothing to her, she could not bring herself to kill Kaito, or even allow him to be captured, when she had multiple opportunities to do so.<br />
<br />
As is stereotypical of haughty female characters in anime and manga, Akako possesses a stereotypical "Ohohoho" laugh.<br />
<br />
= Skills =<br />
Akako's magic can be incredibly powerful, and often revolves around complex rituals. These rituals have allowed her to create voodoo dolls, entrance other human minds, and even summon demons to do her bidding. She also possesses many magical artifacts, including a mirror that can answer questions, a crystal ball that can predict the future, and a broomstick that she can fly on.<br />
<br />
The ''[[Magic Kaito 1412]]'' anime gives Akako additional abilities, such as telekinesis and pyrokinesis, which she may or may not possess in the manga.<br />
<br />
Akako also appears to be a competent skier, whether or not this is another magically-acquired skill is unknown.<br />

== ''Magic Kaito'' plot overview ==<br />
=== Past ===<br />
[[File:MKS Episode 4 Akako's Ancestors.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A gallery of Akako's ancestors in the ''Magic Kaito'' TV Specials.]]<br />
Akako Koizumi's past is virtually a mystery. She has no living family members as far as it's known, but she seems to be proficient in real magic (in contrast to Kaito Kuroba's stage magic). In the [[Magic Kaito#TV Specials|''Magic Kaito: Kid the Phantom Thief'' TV Specials]] this is explained by her being the last descendant of a long line of witches starting at least back with her great grandmother; in the [[Magic Kaito#Manga|manga]] and the anime series ''Magic Kaito 1412'', on the other hand, the origin of her skills and the source of her powers are never explained beyond her being "the last descendant of black mages", according to her servant.<br />
<br />
=== The Scarlet Temptress (MK Manga: [[The Scarlet Temptress|6]], MKS: [[A Witch Sheds No Tears|4]], MK1412: [[A Temptation in Scarlet|5]]) ===<br />
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-10-10-17h53m14s35.png|right|thumb|200px|Akako adored by all her male classmates.]]<br />
At the beginning of her debut chapter, Akako Koizumi is presented as a witch in the vein of [[Wikipedia: Snow White|Snow White]]'s [[Wikipedia: Evil Queen|evil queen]], asking her magic mirror who the fairest in the world may be. It answers that it is her and that all men in the world are supposed to be her slaves - except one person: [[Kaitou Kid]], which greatly angers her. The next morning - coincidentally the one of February 14th, Valentine's day - she arrives as a transfer student at Ekoda High School, instantly receiving requests for a present from every boy around - except Kaito Kuroba. As soon as he arrives, loaded with chocolate he got from other girls (one of them being [[Momoko Aoyama]]), she forces him to throw it all away by slapping him and demands that he should only take her chocolate. He declines, leaving her visibly shocked. She realizes that Kaito Kuroba must be Kaitou Kid, the only man who could refuse her, according to her mirror.<br />
<br />
Following this, she steals Kaito's handkerchief and uses it for some occult ritual, mixing it in a cauldron with "a dragon's hair, a mermaid's tear and one eye of an angel", creating some kind of magically charged Valentine's chocolate which, after consumption, will make Kaito her submissive slave. She tortures him by impaling a voodoo doll version of his likeness while he's active with a theft, just before teleporting him before her, catching him in a circle of black magic drawn on the ground and urging him to eat her chocolate.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately for her, it suddenly starts snowing, covering the circle and rendering her magic void. After angrily telling him that her magic is real and his is just a fake, Kaitou Kid amuses her with some conjuring tricks in return, telling her that people are entertained by things like these even though they know it's not real. He leaves Akako behind in a sad mood, who muses that she forgot about witches losing their magic power when they cry.<br />
<br />
=== Magic Kaito NG Collection (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 1#Omake|Volume 1 Omake]]) ===<br />
This short bonus story continues the previous chapter in a humorous manner, showing the meta-fictional "behind the scenes" work on ''Magic Kaito'' under the direction of Gosho Aoyama (represented by the "[[Gosho Aoyama (Character)|Director A-Yama]]"), including Akako's actress, who's a completely shy and insecure person, contrary to her role in the manga.<br />
<br />
At first she interacts with production assistant [[Eiichi Yamagishi]], who wonders about her still being in the studio, with her replying that she waited for him. Afterwards, Gosho scolds her during the "filming" of [[Magic Kaito Volume 1#The Scarlet Temptress|chapter 6]] for not wanting to wear the skimpy witch costume, making Akako cry, which causes Aoko Nakamori to defend her in front of their own director/mangaka.<br />
<br />
Akako is in costume in the end, trying to act out her "You'll be my slave" line and pretending to laugh in a malicious way, which she utterly fails to do. Aoko gives her an example of how to do it right, managing it in such a frightening manner that Gosho ponders about switching their roles. Finally, she joins Kaito Kuroba and Aoko in the last panel, saying to the reader that they were just kidding.<br />
<br />
=== Stay Away From Him (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 2#Stay Away From Him|7]], MKS: [[Love on the Ski Slope on Christmas Eve|6]], MK1412: [[Stay Away From Him|13]]) ===<br />
In the course of a trip to a ski resort the Ekoda High School undertakes, Akako prepares a love charm in the form of a patch with a heart on it, with the preparatory work shown in the ''Magic Kaito'' TV Special only. After having a go at Aoko about how she isn't good enough for Kaito and that she's in love with him - who feigns taking it in stride, telling Akako that she doesn't love Kaito - the teacher of class 2-B, [[Erika Konno]], announces that she wants to organize a duo skiing contest with male/female pairings only.<br />
<br />
After putting the patch on Kaito's back, Akako tries to take her chance and follows Kaito onto a ski lift, much to his visible dismay. He can fend her off for the moment, but she believes this to be because her charm may already be working.<br />
<br />
At evening, when the ski contest starts, [[Keiko Momoi]] draws Kaito's attention to the heart patch on his back, which he gives to the his classmate [[Fujie]], who, like most boys of the class, secretly is in love with Akako. Kaito devises a plan with Fujie, switching places with him, so that the latter - in full-body costume - may ski together with Akako anonymously. She races down the slope with him as "Snow Queen and her Abominable Snowman", not noticing the change in ski partners. After Kaito's and Aoko's phenomenal show as "Kaitou Kid and Bride" she, too, realizes that she has been duped, but this only makes her desire to get him all the greater.<br />
<br />
=== Japan's Most Irresponsible Prime Minister (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 2#Japan's Most Irresponsible Prime Minister|8]]) ===<br />
A balloon figure of Akako with an "aka"-Kanji (紅) on it briefly appears in the sky during Kaitou Kid's show for Prime Minister Uemoto in the city park.<br />
<br />
=== Would You Grow Up? (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 2#Would You Grow Up|10]], MKS: [[A Witch Sheds No Tears|4]], MK1412: [[The Adult's Charm|8]]) ===<br />
[[File:Mkspecial4.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Akako waits for Kid on the Tokyo Sky Tree to kill him.]]<br />
Akako then decides that she has to kill Kaito: after his death, it will be true that all men love her. She gives a cursed necklace to [[Ginzo Nakamori]], but the inspector is unable to kill Kaitou Kid, who runs away. Akako waits for him on Tohto<ref name="tohto">[[:File:Spelling of 東都.jpg]]</ref> Tower (Tokyo Skytree in the ''Magic Kaito'' TV Specials), but her feelings for Kaito prevent her from killing him.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Akako's Delivery Service (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Would You Grow Up|17]], MKS: [[The Witch, the Detective, and the Phantom Thief|9]]) ===<br />
When Saguru Hakuba suspects that Kaito is Kid, Akako disguises herself as Kaitou Kid to protect her friend's secret. In the ''Magic Kaito'' TV Specials, she tries to fend off [[Spider]] as well in which she fails to do so but is able to trick the police and Saguru that Kaito is not Kaitou Kid.<br />
<br />
=== Yaiba vs. Kaito! (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#(Extra Chapter) Yaiba vs. Kaito!|18]], OVA: [[Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba - The Grand Battle for the Treasure Sword!!|1]]) ===<br />
At the end of the chapter, Akako can be seen in the background of the classroom behind Kaito Kuroba in one panel, talking with Keiko Momoi.<br />
<br />
In the OVA adaption, her role is greatly expanded: She is sitting on the street with her crystal ball, hidden under a robe, with the [[Detective Boys]] thinking that she's an old witch from their [[Kamen Yaiba]] game. Enraged by this, she throws away the cloth and reveals herself to be a "spunky" 17-year-old girl, before directly talking to [[Conan Edogawa]] about meeting a tiger, a vulture and a frog soon. This appearance of her is later revealed to be part of a dream of Conan.<br />

Later on, she tries to use her magic to prevent the police and [[Shinichi Kudo]] from arresting Kid, but her assistant stops her before using her powers publicly. Kaitou Kid still manages to escape.<br />
<br />
=== Omake Manga (Magic Kaito Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 4#Omake|Volume 4 Omake]]) ===<br />
Gosho Aoyama returns as the director, now in his eggplant form, finishing the shooting of "[[Magic Kaito Volume 4#Dark Knight|Dark Knight]]". Kenta Connery's actor redresses, with Akako explaining that he's still got some shoots to do for "another series", which is revealed to be ''[[Detective Conan]]'', with the role of Kenta's actor being that of Conan Edogawa. Gosho and everyone else - including Akako - leave to go get eat something and completely forget Kaitou Kid still hanging from the wires at the ceiling.<br />

Gosho Aoyama as director finishes the shooting of "[[Magic Kaito Volume 5#Sun Halo|Sun Halo]]", with Kaito Kuroba telling Akako afterwards that her red magic was as well received as ever, making her blush. Gosho then tells his [[Gosho Aoyama's assistants|assistants]] to get "the gate for the other series" for a remodeling of [[Akako Koizumi's residence]] into the [[Kudo residence]]. Kaito Kuroba is flabbergasted that Gosho's just recycling settings.<br />

Inspector Ginzo Nakamori mentions that Kaitou Kid has "at least one" assistant, with rumors of an "old man or a young woman", with the first pointing to [[Konosuke Jii]] and the latter referring to the moment from chapter 17 of his own series, indirectly talking about Akako Koizumi, who disguised as Kid to clear Kaito Kuroba of suspicion and confused Ginzo and his subordinates when she was screaming like a girl. Considering that Akako is not [[canon]] to ''Detective Conan'', this was probably more of an easter egg.<ref name="playback_akako_canon" /><ref name="dc_mk_differences" /><br />

== Family and friends ==<br />
=== Kaito Kuroba/Kaitou Kid ===<br />
[[File:Displeased with Akako.png|thumb|right|200px|Kaito and Akako.]]<br />
Akako's relationship with Kaito is a complex one. Though she despises him for being the only man that can defy her many charms and potions, she also finds his independence and confidence to be attractive. Thus, her interactions with him often alternate between schemes to control him (and on one occasion, kill him) and genuine attempts to keep him away from particularly dangerous heists.<br />
<br />
=== Aoko Nakamori ===<br />
Akako sees [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]] as a rival for Kaito's affections, and will sometimes belittle her looks and (lack of) maturity. Despite this, she is often caught off-guard by Aoko's overwhelmingly friendly demeanor.<br />
<br />
== Others ==<br />
=== Servant ===<br />
Akako is often assisted in her spellwork by a hideous, unnamed servant who seems to be the closest thing she has to an adult guardian. The servant usually lavishes praise on Akako, who in turn often insults him for his ugly appearance and empty compliments. For his part, the servant seems to genuinely adore Akako, though he will also comfort her in times of distress, and once warned her against using magic in public, a warning that Akako immediately obeyed, despite the fact that Kaito's freedom (and possibly life) were at stake.<ref>''Magic Kaito'' Vol. 4, Ch. 4</ref><br />
<br />
=== Lucufer ===<br />
{{main|Lucufer}}<br />
When she desires knowledge, Akako will sometimes perform a ritual to summon a demon named Lucufer. It is not known if this deity is, in fact, identical to [[Wikipedia: Lucifer#Christians who identify Lucifer with Satan or the Devil|the Biblical Lucifer and ruler of the Judeo-Christian Hell]], though it should be noted that Akako treats Lucufer with little respect and is quick to dismiss him once he answers her questions.<br />
<br />
= Name origin =<br />
The name "Akako" means "red child". This contrasts with Aoko Nakamori's first name, which means "blue child".<br />

* Besides her magic skills and being in contact with Japanese mythological beings, Akako is also knowledable about other mythologies, explaining the symbolic meaning of [[Crow|crows]] in [[Wikipedia: Norse mythology|Norse]] and [[Wikipedia: Greek mythology|Greek Mythology]] in [[Magic Kaito Volume 5#Part 2 (Chapter 32)|chapter 32]]. She's mentioning both [[Wikipedia: Odin|Odin]] and [[Wikipedia: Apollo|Apollo]] as "[[Wikipedia: Kami|Kami]]" though, which could imply that they are real entities in the ''Magic Kaito'' universe she is acquainted with as she is with the Kami Lucufer (who in turn seems to be an allusion to Lucifer and [[Wikipedia: Amatsumikaboshi|Amatsumikaboshi]]), which is certainly in tune with the [[Wikipedia: Syncretism|syncretistic]] qualities of Japanese belief systems and Akako's magic (combining elements of at least Egyptian, Middle Eastern, European and Japanese cultures with sorcery like [[Wikipedia: Voodoo doll|Voodoo dolls]]).<br />
* She is modeled after the Evil Queen, the main antagonist in the fairy tale ''Snow White''.<br />
* Her name was taken from [[Wikipedia: Kyōko Koizumi|Kyoko Koizumi]] (小泉 今日子), a famous pop idol from back at the time Gosho Aoyama started drawing ''Magic Kaito'' and rival to [[Wikipedia: Akina Nakamori|Akina Nakamori]], who served as name giver for Aoko Nakamori.<ref name="name_origin_akina">Love Conan - Meitantei Conan Official Fan Book for Girls</ref> It's conceivable that their rivalry inspired Gosho's depiction of Akako's hidden rivalry with Aoko for Kaito Kuroba's heart.<br />
* Akako's anime voice actress for appearance in ''Detective Conan'', [[Megumi Hayashibara]], also provides the voice for [[Ai Haibara]], and with the similarities between ''Magic Kaito'' and ''Detective Conan'' this serves to reinforce the love triangle theme revolving around the central character.<br />
* In both the manga and TV Special, the three cobras attached to Akako's headband and magical costume are able to adjust their emotional expressions by themselves to match with Akako's.<ref>'''Manga''' (must pay close attention): [[Magic Kaito Volume 1#The Scarlet Temptress|Volume 1, Chapter 6]]; [[Magic Kaito Volume 2#Stay Away From Him|Volume 2, Chapter 1]] (headband only); [[Magic Kaito Volume 2#Would You Grow Up|Volume 2, Chapter 4]].

'''{{nihongo|Kaito Kuroba|黒羽 快斗|Kuroba Kaito}}''' is the main character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', and a recurring character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is the current '''[[Kaitou Kid]]''', the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Aoko Nakamori]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kaito is a second-year student at Ekoda High School Class 2-B alongside his childhood friend [[Aoko Nakamori]], the witch [[Akako Koizumi]], and transfer student detective [[Saguru Hakuba]]. Kaito discovers [[Toichi Kuroba|his father]]'s identity as the original [[Kaitou Kid]] after eight years following his death thanks to a secret room inside his house as well as talking with his father's attendant and friend, [[Konosuke Jii]]. Picking up where his father left off, Kaito takes up the mantle of Kaitou Kid in an effort to lure out [[Magic Kaito Organization|his father's murderers]] by making Kid a world-famous thief once again.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[File:vlcsnap-2013-10-10-17h54m48s62.png|thumb|left|200px|Kaito rejects Akako because of her arrogance.]]<br />
According to Saguru's analysis during his search for Kaitou Kid's identity, Kaito is 174 cm (5' 8.5") tall, weighs 58 kg (128 lbs), has an IQ of 400, and is blood type 'B'.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=86-87}}</ref> Kaito as his normal self seems to be rather popular in school although he tends to get in trouble with the ladies, particularly Aoko, for flipping up their skirts <ref>Magic Kaito 1412 episode 1</ref> or peeking on them in the locker room <ref>Magic Kaito 1412 episode 7</ref>. He is a compulsive trickster who loves to demonstrate his magic tricks and share them with others, and hates to see people upset. Although he hasn't demonstrated it while in full costume, Kaito has an extreme fear of fish (ichthyophobia) to the point where he freaks out upon seeing Aoko wear fish-print underwear one day.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Hustler vs. Magician |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=158 }}</ref> In OVA 10, while in the process of escaping Trap Island, a fish flops into his escape rowboat and he panics.<ref>OVA 10: Kid in Trap Island</ref> However, in the manga, he is not afraid of a shark when it is asleep.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
=== Intelligence ===<br />
Kaito is a highly intelligent young man. Repeatedly, he has shown a remarkable talent for methodically planning out his entire scheme and likewise able to improvise when things fall apart. He is apparently a very good researcher, as when preparing to become someone else, he is very thorough. He apparently has a photographic memory, able to seamlessly remember details about people or things that he saw. He also has a talent for seeing through deception, as he became one of the first people to realize that Conan Edogawa was not a normal child. He has repeatedly shown to be a master manipulator. Able to see through a person's general pattern of thinking, he can give various misdirections to trick people into moving as he desires.<br />
<br />
=== Disguise ===<br />
Arguable Kaito's most remarkable trait is his prowess for disguise. With little time and preparation, he can perfectly take on the likeness of virtually anyone. Even those that are shorter than him, he can improvise to make a believable impersonation. More than just mimicking their frame and face, Kaito excels in perfectly imitating their voice, including accent and dialect. Also thorough is his performance, that he can effectively act like the person, copying their mannerisms, demeanor, speech patterns, ideology, and so on. Ultimately, he can fool even the people closest to his chosen imitation for hours without failing in the deception.<br />
<br />
=== Stage magic ===<br />
Like his father, Kaito is an accomplished magician, excelling in sleight-of-hand various other forms of misdirection. Commonly using smokescreens to obscure him from others' sight, Kaito leaves little time for people to figure his next move. He is also a proficient escapist, able to seamlessly slip out of handcuffs. Likewise, he is remarkable in stealth, able to move about unnoticed and seemingly disappear from sight.<br />
<br />
=== Athletic ability ===<br />
Kaito is highly athletic. He excels in skiing and hang gliding. In his various schemes, he is shown to be very agile and performing various acrobatics.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Let Go of Him |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref> Although, (much to Aoko's amusement) cannot ice skate<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=The Great Detective Appears!! |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=36 }}</ref> or play billiards.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Hustler vs. Magician |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= }}</ref> He is a remarkable shot with his gun, and has shown himself to be ambidextrous. <br />
<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Magic Kaito ===<br />
The day after the Kaitou Kid makes his return after an eight-year hiatus, Kaito stumbles through a trap door in his room and discovers that his father, [[Toichi Kuroba]], was the original Kaitou Kid. Kaito dons his father's costume to discover the identity of the new Kaitou Kid, revealed to be his father's old assistant [[Konosuke Jii]]. Jii tells Kaito that Toichi had been murdered eight years ago, and that he had dressed as the Kid and staged the heist in order to lure Toichi's killers.<br />
<br />
So Kaito adopts the mantle of the Kid, having proven that he is more skilled than the aging and serious Jii. As the Kaitou Kid, Kaito stages several high-profile jewel heists with the intention of smoking out his father's killers, although he seems to be enjoying himself in the process. It isn't until the ''Blue Birthday'' heist that the murderers appear and reveal that they are searching for the doublet red-coloured gem [[Pandora]], said to shed tears of immortality during the passing of a particular comet. Upon realizing [[Magic Kaito Organization|the organization's]] aim and that his father was killed for his refusal to aid them in retrieving Pandora, Kaito vows as Kaitou Kid to find the Pandora gem first and destroy it.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Blue Birthday |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=144 }}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Detective Conan ===<br />
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-12-08-20h39m58s203.png|thumb|right|200px|A young Kaito Kuroba offers Yukiko Kudo a flower.]]<br />
Since then, he has appeared in several Detective Conan cases. If his target is a gem, he always holds it up to the moonlight, presumably to check if it's the Pandora gem, before returning it, even if Conan seemingly has him cornered. <br />
<br />
In other instances, Kid has staged heists when people such as [[Jirokichi Suzuki]] have called him out, or when criminals have used the Kaitou Kid's name to deflect blame from themselves, as in the Sunset Mansion case or the Seiran case. He also appeared in the Ryoma case to expose several counterfeiters who were pretending to possess items that another thief called the Phantom Lady had stolen years ago. At that time, Kid implied that he may be a family relation of the 'Phantom Lady'.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=70 |chapter=74 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo}}</ref><br />
<br />
A young Kaito also appeared in a flashback during which Conan recalled a riddle that he and Ran had tried to solve when they were in first grade. It turned out that the 'riddler' had been the original Kaitou Kid, [[Toichi Kuroba]], who seemed to be a friend of [[Yusaku Kudo]]. <br />
<br />
In chapter 824, Kid had played a significant role in main Detective Conan plot by disguising as Sherry under Conan's request. Their plan successfully tricked the Black Organization into believing she is dead.<br />
<br />
==== Non-canon Detective Conan overview ====<br />
In [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]], it's revealed that Kaito knew Conan's real identity of Shinichi Kudo. He helped Conan who was thrown out of the airship and they worked together to get back. Kaito has disguised himself as Shinichi five times, in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]], [[Magician of the Silver Sky]], [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]], [[Sunflowers of Inferno]], and [[The Fist of Blue Sapphire]], in which led Sato and Takagi to suspect that Shinichi was Kaitou Kid. The two later share their suspicion with Heiji to which he responded with an 'Are you kidding me?' face.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
[[Image:vlcsnap-2013-09-21-03h04m55s93.png|thumb|right|200px|Kaito and Aoko.]]<br />
==== Aoko Nakamori ====<br />
{{main|Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori}}<br />
Kaito and [[Aoko Nakamori]] have been best friends since they were little and first met at the clock tower.<ref>[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|"Episode 219: The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid"]]</ref> They are portrayed as a similar pairing to [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Ran Mouri]] (including how the characters are drawn) and [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Kazuha Toyama]], except much sillier. Kaito often teases Aoko by flipping her skirt. However, it has been seen that Kaito is quite protective of Aoko and doesn't appear to want her to go on a date with [[Saguru Hakuba]]. Aoko was somewhat suspicious that Kaito was actually Kaitou Kid, and in order to prove his innocence, she brought him along to a movie when a heist had been scheduled. She handcuffed him to the seat, but Kaito managed to escape and pull off the heist, thus veering Aoko's suspicions away from him. The two have feelings for one each other, but neither has admitted it as of yet.<br />
<br />
In the last chapter of ''[[Yaiba]]'' a scene set after a three years timeskip has [[Keiko Momoi]] telling [[Sayaka Mine]] that Kuroba and Nakamori are a couple now, while [[List of minor Magic Kaito characters#Notable minor characters|Keiko's friend]] confirms having seen them together.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
==== Akako Koizumi ====<br />
[[File:Displeased with Akako.png|thumb|right|200px|Kaito wishes he was with Aoko instead.]]<br />
Since [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]]'s first appearance in Volume 1, she's attempted to get Kaito to fall head over heels for her using whatever means necessary, including using a voodoo doll and hurting him in the process. Akako's obsession with Kaito comes from Kaitou Kid, whom she realizes is Kaito, being the only man on Earth able to resist her. Despite Akako injuring Kaito during their first confrontation, Kaito as Kid behaves like a complete gentleman and encourages Akako to be herself in order to get someone to like her instead of forcing them through witchcraft.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=1 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-05-15 |isbn=4-09-122081-9 |chapter=The Scarlet Temptress |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 180}}</ref> Akako grows to have great concern for Kaito as evidenced by her warning Kaito<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122083-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 93-95}}</ref> against going to a heist and later assisting Kaitou Kid to escape safely from the heist that she had foreseen him being captured at.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122083-5 |chapter=Akako's Delivery Service |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 100-103}}</ref> In Volume 2, Akako openly states she likes Kaito in front of Aoko.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=2 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-11-15 |isbn=4-09-122082-7 |chapter=Let Go of Him |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 11}}</ref><br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
==== Saguru Hakuba ====<br />
[[File:2013 7 6 19 58 14.png|thumb|right|200px|]]<br />
The relationship between [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]] and Kaito is a rather tense one; since Saguru convinced himself early on that Kaito was instead Kid, and during the first few volumes he's constantly throwing out offhand comments that show his suspicion. However, later on in the manga, we have a small scene where Saguru calls Kaito from Paris in order to give him some information on 'Chat Noir', a dangerous, fellow gem thief trying to outshine Kid.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=4 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Golden Eye Part 1 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page= 18}}</ref> Though Kaito continues to vehemently deny being Kid, Saguru gives him the information anyways, ending the conversation with, "Do your best at least. I don't want to see you lose to anyone before I capture you myself". Whether or not that was his actual motive, or if he was merely concerned for Kaito's well being, is unknown.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
==== Conan Edogawa ====<br />
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba}}<br />
[[File:名侦探柯南-515-DVD003348.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]<br />
In the manga, Kid and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] are rivals. Ever since Kaito met Conan, Kaito always seems to be anticipating Conan's appearance at his heists. Conan makes the heists more interesting for Kaito, while Conan views Kaito's heists as entertainment.<br />
<br />
Before being shrunk, Shinichi had encountered Kaitou Kid once during the Clock Tower heist, though they did not meet face-to-face. In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi had become Conan, Kid disguised himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki Black Star pearl. When Conan cornered him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid suggested that he'd stolen all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ended up being a bluff, Conan was shocked and infuriated. In subsequent encounters between Kid and Conan, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid. <br />
<br />
Since then, Conan is usually a serious threat to Kid's plans and stops Kid often enough from escaping with the jewel that Conan has gained reputation in the press as Kid's "natural enemy". In several instances Conan appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence; knowing Kid is close by often causes Conan to behave far more frenetically. Appropriately, Kid seems to find Conan dangerous enough to warrant specific measures to keep the boy distracted. Conan does not seem to like Kid, saying once "He's only a thief that uses magic".<ref>Anime Episode 515: Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic</ref> However, if necessary, the two can put their rivalry aside (for a little while) and work together.<ref>[[Kaitou Kid and the Four Masterpieces]]</ref> Conan has something of a gentleman's agreement with Kaitou Kid that he won't look for the thief outside of heists. In several instances, beginning with the "Big Adventure in the Eccentric Residence" case, when Kid does Conan/Shinichi a favor, such as saving Genta's life in the aforementioned case, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape mostly unhindered. This exchange of favors can sometimes become a bit unbalanced; Conan was perfectly willing to force Kaitou Kid against his will into facing a member of the [[Black Organization]] at gunpoint in a carriage filled with explosives.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"</ref><br />
<br />
In the movies, Kid becomes aware that Conan is Shinichi after he once overheard Conan talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] and displaying too much criminal knowledge for a 7-year-old.<ref>Movie 03: ''[[The Last Wizard of the Century]]''</ref> As a result, he ends up using Shinichi's identity to either further his own goals and challenge Conan at the same time, or to pay back a favor Conan has done him. Since movies cannot be considered [[canon]], it was once unclear whether Kid knows Conan is Shinichi in the official manga. However, since "Kaitou Kid and the Trick Box" case, it is clear that Kid does not know Conan's true indentity because he called him "Conan-kun" and not "Shinichi" while there were alone.<ref>Anime Episode 888: ''[[Kaitou Kid and the Trick Box]] (Part 2)''</ref> There is also some speculations on Conan figuring out that Kid isn't just stealing randomly. At the end of the OVA 4: Conan, Kid, and the Crystal Mother, Conan had turned with a serious face when he remembered a phrase that Kid had said, "Next time, I'll help myself to the Jewel of Destiny." In movie 14, Conan asked for Kid to disguise as him for a while.<br />
<br />
In chapter 1018 of the manga Kid is shown thinking "What's this? Two highschool detectives..." while the only highschool detectives that appeared in that case were Heiji and Conan, making it very likely that Kid is aware of Conan's identity but nothing has been officially stated or confirmed.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
[[Ran]] always been suspicious at Kaito Kid, assuming that Kaito is [[Kudo Shinichi]] in disguise, despite Kaito Kid disguised Shinichi in many occasions. Therefore, Kaito Kid tricked Ran by seducing her with his romantic charms to believe that he is Shinichi. However, Ran already knows that Kaito Kid is not Shinichi. In Detective Conan's [[The Lost Ship in the Sky]], Kaito Kid pretends to be Shinichi to convince Ran not to turn him in. At the end of the film, Ran and Kid almost kiss, until she told him, "you are not Shinichi." Conan shows up after seeing what Kaito did to Ran and immediately got jealous. Conan asked Ran, "How do you know that Kaito Kid is not Shinichi?" Ran responded that Kaito Kid "did something that Shinichi does not do." That is when Kaito Kid has his hands on her butt.<br />
<br />
==== Heiji Hattori ====<br />
Kaito and [[Heiji Hattori]] have never canonically met, although Heiji faced up against the Kid in Movie 3, and interacted with a disguised Kaito during Movie 10. They were also involved in the same cases in OVA 6 and Movie 14, but never directly interacted.<br />
Also in Movie 10,there is a scene that we see Saguru, but at the end, it turns out that was Kaito so he has met Heiji as Saguru. But Heiji didn't seem to notice it.<br />
<br />
==== Lupin III ====<br />
In [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]], while they never directly meet face-to-face with each other, Kaitou Kid and [[Lupin III]] had made their first encounter in the beginning of the film. Kaito Kuroba, while being in his citizen guise, was among the many people present to see the heists of Lupin, who was masquerading as Kaitou Kid, with a valuable diamond. Fujiko Mine claimed if Lupin was unable to save her, by stealing the Cherry Sapphire, she can always ask Kaitou Kid for help. By the end of the film where Lupin was in Japan, in contrary to how Conan had thought he had left, Lupin had tried to steal another valuable jewel only to find it already to be stolen and replaced by a small note left by Kaitou Kid; the act was most likely to return the favor for Lupin’s temporary identity theft, for using Kid’s identity, with the diamond heist. As Lupin was being chased, by [[Inspector Zenigata]] who didn’t believe Lupin didn’t steal the jewel, he had declared his rivalry with Kaitou Kid.<br />

[[image:Kaito Lupin.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kaito Lupin]]<br />
* A prototype version of Kaito appears in Aoyama's "{{nihongo|Nonchalant Lupin|さりげなくルパン|Sarigenaku Rupan}}" short story. In this version, Kaito is named {{nihongo|Kaito Lupin|流犯 快斗|Rupan Kaito}}.<br />
* The name 'Kuroba' is a transliteration of 'clover.' A four-leaf clover also appears on the tag of Kid's monocle.<br />
* Gosho Aoyama gave Kaito the same height and weight measurements that he had in 1990<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito Treasured Edition |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=2011-11-21 |isbn=978-4-09-941727-7 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=197 "怪盗キッドの身長174cm、体重58kgってーのは、もちろんこの当時のオレの身長と体重!"}}</ref>, as well as his own blood type.<br />
* Kaito and Gosho Aoyama also have the same birthday, June 21.<ref name= birthday/><br />
* Gosho Aoyama stated in the comments of the Magic Kaito chapters in the Treasured Edition releases of the manga, that he considers Kaito's ice cream line from Magic Kaito Chapter 4 to be the most embarassing line of dialogue he has ever written.<br />
* In both the Japanese and English dub, Kaito shares the same voice actor as that of Shinichi Kudo. Kaito and Shinichi already resemble each other so closely that in the Black Star case, Ran sees Kaito in the street and mistakes him for Shinichi. In Movie 8 and again in Movie 19, Kaito disguises himself as Shinichi and without the use of a mask succeeds in completely fooling everyone except for Ran.<br />
* In Spanish, he doesn't share his voice with Shinichi, but with Hattori. However, this isn't much of a problem since he can perfectly mimic voices.<br />
* Although Kaito's and Shinichi's teenaged-selves share the same voice actor, Kappei Yamaguchi, two different voice actors portray them as children: young Kaito is still voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, while Conan and young Shinichi are voiced by [[Minami Takayama]].<br />
* His favorite class is physical education. For example, he practices kendo and, in sword fights, even manages to stand up to [[Yaiba Kurogane]].<br />

'''{{nihongo|Natsuki Koshimizu|越水 七槻|Koshimizu Natsuki}}''' is the high school detective representing the south in the Detective Koushien that [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Heiji Hattori]], [[Saguru Hakuba]], and [[Junya Tokitsu]] attended.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Koshimizu was a high school detective from Fukuoka, the capital of the Fukuoka Prefecture on Kyūshū, the southernmost island of the Japanese mainland. It is not known for how long exactly she has been engaged in investigative work. According to her own statement, however, she was a relative newcomer, with only one hundred solved cases on her credit. However it unaware how much of the background she gave at the introduction was made up to create her cover.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Natsuki is apparently a capable investigator. However, as the Detective Koshien case has proven, she tends to be extremely stubborn and single-minded if a case touches her personally, and she pursues the culprit(s) relentlessly until they are brought to justice. Though she is by no means a thoroughly evil person, but actually a gentle and considerate character, her persistance does tend to cloud her judgement at times. On her plus side, she is a careful planner and strategist, as well as being a natural actress.<br />
<br />
Natsuki has also apparently developed a closer personal interest in [[Heiji Hattori]] for his impulsive, but ultimately dedicated demeanor.<br />
<br />
She is willing to let herself and the involved people in the lavender case die along with innocent people to complete her revenge, so she does express regret of dooming Conan to his death, suggesting that she is not completely ruthless.<br />
<br />
== Plot overview ==<br />
One year before Natsuki's first appearance, and a year after she had finished high school, a wealthy socialite was found hanged inside her manor house. The police and Natsuki concluded at first that she must have committed suicide, as she really had, but some time later [[Junya Tokitsu]], another high school detective, appeared on the scene and declared that her death was actually a murder. This was a serious misconception, as Junya had fallen for a trick prepared by a burglar ''after'' the murder, but it was enough for the police to open a murder investigation. The only suspect in the case was the lady's young housemaid, Natsuki's best friend. She was repeatedly and harshly questioned by the police, and even though no conclusive evidence could be brought up against her, the girl cracked under the strain and eventually committed suicide.<br />
<br />
Because Junya probably later realized that his deduction had been false, he asked to remain anonymous, and so Natsuki had only few scant clues to work with as she set out to avenge her friend's death. She finally decided to arrange a fake detectives' reality TV competition, ''Detective Koushien'', with the most reputable high school detectives, who also had unique speech pattern traits, attending. Next to Junya and herself, this included [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], although he was never actually on the invited list in the first place and could attend only as [[Conan Edogawa]] because of Heiji's request to bring him along, and [[Saguru Hakuba]], who had been asked to fill in for Shinichi,which really wasn't the case. She only made it appear that Shinichi had been invited, due to his popularity, but couldn't be contacted, as a excuse to why Saguru was invited instead. She arranged for her trap to be sprung on a remote island, cutting off all connections to the mainland while she sought to find the high school detective, who was involved in the Lavendel Manor case.<br />
<br />
Natsuki finally worked out that Junya was the person responsible and killed him by bashing his head with a hammer when he demonstrated his callousness and self-interest about the past case with no feelings of remorse whatsoever. She also trapped herself and her entourage on the island to die of starvation, since two of them - the burglar who had unintentionally backed up Junya's claims; and the manor's butler, who had refused to clear the case out of misguided affection for the lady, since he didn't want people to know she was mentally ill, due to the huge prejudices against mental illnesses in Japan - were also, if more indirectly, responsible for her friend's death. Conan and Heiji managed to expose her as the culprit, and she quietly allowed herself to be given to the authorities, but not before expressing her deepest respect for the two and the hope of working with them some time in the future.<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
Her name comes from [[Wikipedia:ja:輿水泰弘|Yasuhiro Koshimizu]], a mystery novelist whose created character Ukyo Sugishita was featured in [[Detective Picture Book]] as the titleholder for [[volume 48]]. Although the kanji for writing Koshimizu is different, the spelling is the same and the kanji "水" (Mizu) is used in both and means water.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Natsuki had proven so popular that the idea for a video game with her as a protagonist was proposed. While Aoyama refused, since Natsuki was a criminal, she became the template for another tomboy detective girl who would be integrated later in the series: [[Masumi Sera]].<br />

'''{{nihongo|Spider|スパイダー|Supaidā}}''' is an anime only character from the ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' series. He is a codenamed agent specializing in assassination in the [[Magic Kaito Organization|criminal organization]] and works under their [[Magic Kaito sub-boss|second-in-command]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
The aliases "Gunter Von Goldberg II" suggests a German descent, though nothing is yet confirmed. That said, he peppers his speech with English ("Ladies and Gentlemen") and appears to have a rivalry with [[Saguru Hakuba]] who has been living and doing detective works in Britain.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:Spider on stage.jpg|thumb|left|200px|His stage appearance.]]<br />
He is an averagely built young, foreign man with long blond hair. While onstage, Spider's skin is white and pale. His true skin color, however, is a brownish-tan with what appears to be a spider tattoo on his left eye.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
Spider is considered by a magazine as "The Best Illusionist in the World". During one of his shows, he was able to create an illusion of a beautiful field and children from the audience being raised into the sky and turned into cherubs. In battles, however, Spider uses this ability in a much more offensive way. He usually creates an unreal horrifying scenery and makes the victims feel like they are in helpless situation.<ref>[[The Splendid Rivals]]</ref><ref name=witch>[[The Witch, the Detective, and the Phantom Thief]]</ref> His psychological attacks work effectively even on magical beings like [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]].<ref name=witch/> Spider also seems to be able to apply some sort of hypnotization on the victims who have suffered from his illusions, making them subconsciously perform a certain action.<ref name=witch/><br />
<br />
As an assassin, his preferred weapons are needles which can be thrown. He is also athletic.<br />
<br />
Spider has excellent disguise skills. He was even able to fool Kaito Kuroba by mimicking an old woman and her voice. It is unclear how much this ability was due to his illusions and gadgets versus pure acting, makeup, and voice talent.<br />
<br />
Although he always fails to kill Kaitou Kid, he is never picked up by the boss like all other members, because unlike them he proved his worth.<br />

The distraction gives Kaitou Kid the chance to destroy Spider's illusion generating machinery and force him to flee.<br />
<br />

Spider then dropped a smoke bomb and escaped telling Kid that they will meet again.<br />
<br />
=== [[The Tearful Crystal Mother]] ===<br />
Spider and Snake board the Royal Express to steal the Crystal Mother from the Queen of Ingram and kill Kaitou Kid. Spider knocks out Phillip's nanny, Alice, and disguises himself as her. Snake orders Spider to not get in his way and to let him take care of everything. Spider disguised as Alice lures Phillip, who wanted to retrieve the Crystal Mother, to the top of the train where Kid had hidden and then threatens Phillip to force Kid to hand over the jewel. When Snake climbs atop the train, he tells Spider to leave and let him take care of the rest. Spider does as Snake tells him and vanishes.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Saguru Hakuba ===<br />
Spider and [[Saguru Hakuba]] have some sort of rivalry. Spider sees Saguru as a nuisance and attempts to murder him offhand. Saguru is disturbed by Spider and his use of illusions to break the mind of his opponents. Saguru knows the assassin's identity is the stage performer Gunter Von Goldberg II.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The animators redesigned Spider's look between the silhouette shown after the Blue Birthday heist and his current appearance. In the official DVD release, the silhouette was directly replaced with Spider's later design.<br />
* During his shows, there was a big spider which hints out that he is Spider, the assassin.<br />
* Despite not having a color in his name, his pseudonym, "Goldburg", contains "Gold".<br />
* He was drinking some sort of alcohol from a bottle called 'spider', then it could be a reference to his codename.<br />

Not much is given about Toichi as Kaitou Kid. However, we do know that at some point in time, a dark organization forced him to steal gems to find [[Pandora Gem |Pandora]]. His refusal led to his death in a "magic accident."<br />
<br />
=== Jii as Kid ===<br />
After the death of Toichi, Jii lived by himself. Over the course of eight years, he grew angrier and angrier until he donned the costume of Kaitou Kid in order to lure out the organization that killed Toichi. He was only dressed as Kid twice before Kaito took over.<br />
<br />
=== Kaito as Kid ===<br />
[[File:Kid seducing Ran.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kid seduces Ran by tricking her into believing he is really Shinichi]]<br />
In both civilian and costumed life, Kaitou Kid is a compulsive trickster who is drawn to any challenge just for the sheer thrill of overcoming all hazards in the end. Kid is infamous for having a rather overconfident (close to the point of arrogance) attitude, always preferring to create as big a bang as possible. He loves nothing more than leading the police in wild goose chases, letting them get within a hair's breadth of catching him, before exiting one way or another. Seemingly having a soft-spot for his fans, there has been more than one occasion when Kid has refused to show when the police tried to bar the general public from witnessing his act. Generally, when these instances occur, one of Kid's tricks rely, one way or another, on his ability to blend in with a crowd.<br />
<br />
Kaitou Kid is also quite a charmer, seeming to always know just what to say to the ladies to leave them speechless. Kid hates to see others get hurt, and he never hesitates in leaping to rescue someone, whether physically or mentally. Despite his low reputation in some quarters, Kid does have a sense of honor, in as much as that he decides to leave the loot behind if it has no further purpose other than having challenged his trickster skills, doesn't contain Pandora, or when a more humane background stands behind their existence. These qualities are some of the reasons why he and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] occasionally end up as allies in a common cause.<br />
<br />
For some as yet unexplained reason, Kaito suffers from a severe case of ichthyophobia (fear of fish).<br />

== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:Kaitou Kid Manga.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Kaito Kuroba]] as Kaitou Kid]]<br />
=== Toichi as Kid ===<br />
The classic Kaitou Kid outfit was originally developed for one of his stage performances to honor Arsène Lupin, but he decided to use it as his thief outfit after saving [[Phantom Lady]].<br />
<br />
=== Jii as Kid ===<br />
Jii donned the costume of Kaitou Kid, but used a smiling mask, in order to lure out the organization that killed Toichi. He was only dressed as Kid twice before Kaito took over.<br />
<br />
=== Kaito as Kid ===<br />
Kid has dark brown hair (black in Magic Kaito 1412) with fringe that ends just above his eyes, but the rest of his hair is normally covered by a white top hat with a blue ribbon band. When dressed in his normal outfit, his right eye is covered by a white monocle that has a dangling green charm with a white clover imprinted on it. Kid's outfit consists of a white suit jacket on top of a blue shirt with a red tie and white dress slacks. The white [[Hang Glider Cape]] is attached to the jacket at Kid's shoulders. Kid wears blue socks with white Oxford style shoes with white soles. In his original appearances Kid wore white loafer type shoes.<br />
<br />
Kid has been seen wearing black shirts and pants along with a black hat to help cover his face, usually when doing information gathering for heists or when he has his "audience" at his heists looking elsewhere. Apart from these two outfits, Kid is a master of disguise and has been seen disguising as several people throughout the course of ''Detective Conan'' and ''Magic Kaito''.<br />
<br />
At several instances, it has been demonstrated that Kid shares a close natural likeness with [[Shinichi Kudo]].<ref>[[Volume 16#Kaitou Kid and the Black Star|Manga Chapters 156-159: Kaitou Kid and the Black Star]]</ref> This, on occasion (particularly in the non-canon appearances), allows him to pass himself off as Shinichi whenever needed, without requiring a special disguise.<ref>[[The Last Wizard of the Century|Movie 03: ''The Last Wizard of the Century'']]</ref><ref>[[Magician of the Silver Sky|Movie 08: ''Magician of the Silver Sky'']]</ref><ref>[[The Lost Ship in the Sky|Movie 14: ''The Lost Ship in the Sky'']]</ref><ref>[[Kid in Trap Island|OVA 10: ''Kid in Trap Island'']]</ref><br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
When Kuroba Toichi began committing high-profile heists, INTERPOL named him "International Criminal #1412," as they were unaware of his true identity. Sometime later, a reporter referred to him as "Kaitou 1412" in a hastily-written note, since the word "kaitou" means "phantom thief" in Japanese. This note was seen by [[Yusaku Kudo]], who misread the numbers as "KID." Thus, Yusaku named the Kaitou Kid. <ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=55 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1996-18-01 |isbn=4-09-120628-X|chapter=File 3 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=151}}</ref><br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* {{nihongo|'''Kuroba'''|黒羽 or クロバ|}} (Kaito and Toichi's family name) is also a way to pronounce {{nihongo|"clover"|クロバー|kurobaa}} in Japanese (the only difference is a long vowel). This is most likely why a clover appears on Kaitou Kid's monocle. In addition Gosho's [[Animal_Crossing_promotional_hints|Animal Crossings]] characters are named after the playing card suits, "Clover" introduces itself as Kaito Kuroba and dresses as Kaitou Kid (except with a black top hat).<br />
* Kaitou Kid was clearly modeled after the fictional gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, by French author Maurice Leblanc. In the French-speaking world, Lupin is as famous as Sherlock Holmes is in the English-speaking world. Interestingly, Holmes appeared in several Arsène Lupin stories; however, after Conan Doyle protested due to copyright laws, Leblanc changed the name to "Herlock Sholmes."<br />
* Kaitou Kid signs his heist notes with a drawing of his face in abstract. He re-draws this insignia for each note, so that police will know that it was truly him and not an imitator using a scanned copy of a former insignia.<br />
* He made a cameo in [[A Challenge Letter to Shinichi Kudo ~Prologue Until Goodbye~]], in his [[Hang Glider Cape]] when the bomb explodes in mid-air.<br />
* In [[The Last Wizard of the Century]], the police attribute 134 cases of thievery to Kaitou Kid, fifteen of which have been overseas including America, France, Germany, and 12 other places. In total, 152 gems have been stolen with a net worth of 38,925,000,000 yen but this is obviously not considered canonical in the main story of Detective and Kaito Kid .<br />
* Akako Koizumi once dressed up as the Kaitou Kid to trick [[Saguru Hakuba]] into thinking Kaito was innocent. During her escape with the target jewel, she screamed in a revealingly girly manner, causing Aoko to deduce that the Kaitou Kid must be a homosexual.<br />
* In both the Japanese and English dub, Kaito Kuroba/Kaitou Kid shares the same voice actor as that of Shinichi Kudo.<br />
* Kaitou Kid apparently knows how to drive as shown when he was disguised as Kogoro Mouri in Volume 30: Sunset Manor Case.<br />

[[Saguru Hakuba]]'s housekeeper, whom he addresses as '''{{nihongo|baaya|婆や|bāya}}''' is a minor character in [[Magic Kaito]] and [[Detective Conan]]. She appears to be his primary caretaker, at least in Japan.<br />
<br />
== Appearance and personality ==<br />
Baaya is an older woman with light-colored, curled hair and a hawk nose, which suggests some degree of non-Japanese ancestry. She is also fairly tall, as she sits level with 5'11" [[Saguru Hakuba]] when driving a car. In her only visible appearance, she wears a suit coat over a black turtleneck and glasses on a thin chain.<br />
<br />
== Plot overview ==<br />
Baaya first appears in the Twilight Mansion Case, which marked Saguru Hakuba's first appearance as well. She drove him to the Mansion and remained hidden nearby in case he needed help. They marked the top of her car with a large 'X' so Hakuba's hawk Watson could find her and relay messages between them.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Detective Conan|volume=30|publisher=Shogakukan|chapter=Chapter 4-7|language=English}} ("Twilight Mansion Case")</ref> <br />
<br />
She is also mentioned in the Detective Koushien. However, this time Saguru has come alone and told her not to wait for him.<br />
<br />
The housekeeper also appears in the Dark Knight case in [[Magic Kaito]]. She is driving Hakuba to the Kaito Kid heist, but [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] tricks her into taking a route right through a traffic jam which slows their progress, so Saguru gets out of the car and runs the rest of the way.<br />
<br />

'''{{nihongo|Saguru Hakuba|白馬 探|Hakuba Saguru}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', who has made multiple appearances in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Saguru is another teenage detective, just like [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Heiji Hattori]]. However, he does a lot of his work in England, as well as Japan, and claims to have handled more cases than Heiji. In the Magic Kaito manga and 1412 anime franchise, his main goal is to capture the master thief, [[Kaitou Kid]] but in the Magic Kaito anime specials franchise, Saguru's main goal is to capture the assassin, [[Spider]] and using Kaitou Kid as a bait.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[File:Hakuba as Sherlock Holmes.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Saguru Hakuba as Sherlock Holmes.]]<br />
As a detective, Saguru takes great interest in learning culprit's motives, asking "How come you did that?" Saguru also pays a great deal of attention to time, carrying a pocket watch that only loses 0.001 seconds per year. In cases, Saguru tends to note the time to the second. He is even more extreme in his earliest appearances; he notes during the ''Adam's Smile'' painting heist that Kaitou Kid is a minute and 13.02 seconds late.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=The Great Detective Appears!!|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=}}</ref> During his first appearances in Magic Kaito, Saguru is seen often wearing an Inverness cape and a deerstalker, much like the stereotypical portrait of [[Sherlock Holmes]]. In later appearances he has given up this look opting for a suit instead. <br />
<br />
His speech is usually formal and polite, like his attire; for example, he uses the more humble pronoun 'boku' to refer to himself during the Detective Koushien case, while Heiji uses 'ore,' which is a cockier and less polite way of referring to oneself. However, Saguru displays a distinct sense of arrogance himself, particularly during his earlier appearances. He displays an arrogant assurance in his ability to capture the [[Kaitou Kid]], and conveys a superior attitude towards Inspector Nakamori's men in volume 3 of [[Magic Kaito]]. In the Detective Koushien case in Detective Conan, he frequently mocked Heiji, calling him rash and hotheaded and repeatedly expressed his disappointment in Heiji's seeming incompetence, and despite being clearly defeated by Heiji's deduction, he showed no such regrets or humility. Kaito describes his tone as sugary yet obnoxious.<ref>Magic Kaito Volume 4, File 5, pg 5: "Golden Eye 1"</ref>.<br />
<br />
Saguru also appears to be something of a flirt. He kissed Aoko's hand and tried to sweet-talk her into going on a date with him, <ref name="Vol3Chp3" /> And during the Detective Koushien he was particularly attentive to the [[Natsuki Koshimizu|female detective]] present, even promising that he would "solve the case for her." However, it's possible that in both of those cases his actions were at least partly intended to irritate Kaito and Heiji, respectively.<br />
<br />
== Appearance and Skills ==<br />
Saguru Hakuba has brown-blonde hair; his eye color is usually blue in the manga, but brown in the anime. According to Saguru's own introduction to [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]], Saguru is 180 cm tall (5'11"), weighs 65 kg (143 lbs), was born on August 29th under the Virgo zodiac, and is blood type 'A'.<ref name="Vol3Chp3">{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Kaitou Under Scrutiny|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref> <br />
<br />
In the Twilight Mansion case, he showed himself to be skilled at billiards, and to have at least basic knowledge of falconry.<br />
<br />
He also seems to have an eidetic memory, just as Shinichi, Heiji and Kaito have proven themselves to have, and is capable of remembering long strings of data, particularly (in Saguru's case) precise times down to the millisecond.<br />

<br />
== Plot overview ==<br />
=== In Magic Kaito ===<br />
[[File:MK9 16.png|thumb|right|200px|Saguru plans to confront Kaito Kid.]]<br />
Prior to arriving in Japan, Saguru spent time as a detective in England and attended London Bridge High School. According to Saguru's father, Saguru is most interested in meeting the infamous [[Kaitou Kid]] and is taken to the ''Adam's Smile'' painting heist. Saguru fails to capture Kid but begins collecting clues as to Kid's true identity. <br />
<br />
In the anime special adaptation of Saguru's introduction, [[The Splendid Rivals]], the circumstances of Saguru's and Kaito's meeting have been altered. The target is a purple gem in the eye of the ''Bronze Statue''. It is revealed that Saguru has no interest in capturing Kaitou Kid, but rather, [[Spider]] who is part of the mysterious organization that Kaito is after. Saguru humiliates the police and he figures out where Kaitou Kid was hiding. He nearly captures the thief with sleeping gas, but Kaitou Kid takes his gas mask so Saguru is taken down by his own trick. Kaitou Kid then disguises as Saguru to get close to the gem, but the scheme is quickly figured out when the police finds Saguru's sleeping body. Later, Saguru forces himself to wake up when Kaitou Kid is caught in Spider's illusion. Saguru saves him by spraying him with water. After both Spider and Kaitou Kid escape, Saguru falls asleep once more. Much to Kaito's dismay, Saguru transfers into Ekoda High School Class 2-B and continues his mission to unmask Kid. He is now the classmate of [[Kaito Kuroba]], [[Aoko Nakamori]], [[Akako Koizumi]], and [[Keiko Momoi]].<br />
<br />
In the special [[The Secret of the Red Tear]] Saguru appears briefly in class, reading a book that mentions Spider. He is shocked by Akako's beauty and is seen blushing.<br />
<br />
Although Magic Kaito is no longer frequently continued, Saguru has made several appearances in the cases that have come out alongside Detective Conan. He telephoned Kaito from Paris to give him information on the thief known as Chat Noir, and also appeared in the Dark Knight arc, where he arrived too late to stop Kid's theft but correctly deduced his methods and kept up with Kaito in uncovering the identity of the mysterious 'Nightmare.'<br />
<br />
=== In Detective Conan ===<br />
Saguru Hakuba's first appearance in Detective Conan was in the Twilight Palace case, where he was one of six detectives invited to investigate a murder that had been committed 40 years ago in an old mansion. During the case it is revealed Saguru has a pet hawk named Watson whom he got in England. <ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|date=2009-07-21|isbn=1-4215-2198-9|title=Case Closed|volume=Volume 30|publisher=Viz Media|chapter=File 4: Condemnation|language=English|location=San Francisco|page=67}}</ref> <br />
[[image:479 Heiji and Saguru.JPG|right|thumb|200px|Heiji and Saguru didn't get along during the Detective Koushien.]]<br />
His second, and only other canonical appearance, was in the [[Volume 54#Detective Koshien Case|Detective Koshien Case]]. Although he initially believed that he was to represent the 'east' in a contest between four high school detectives, in fact the competition had been arranged by a woman seeking a detective 'with a strange accent' who had incorrectly accused her friend of committing a murder. Thinking that Saguru's Japanese might be accented due to his time in Britain, she invited him, as well as [[Heiji Hattori]], who is well known for his strong Kansai accent. <br />
<br />
During the Detective Koshien case, it was stated that Saguru had returned to England sometime before the case, and had returned to Japan specifically to compete in the Koshien, thus explaining his absence from the Kaitou Kid heists in Detective Conan.<br />
[[File:Hawk Watson.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Saguru Hakuba's pet hawk Watson.]]<br />
Saguru appeared in [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|'''Episode 219''': The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid (2 Hour Special)]]. During the Kid case, set some time before [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was shrunk, Kaito thinks to himself that the heist will be much easier without Saguru around, as he has apparently returned to England. Kid was therefore not expecting a challenge, so when the officers trick him into revealing himself and successfully locate him in the ventilation shafts, Kid wonders aloud who, if not Saguru, could be helping the police.<br />
<br />
Saguru also made a cameo of sorts in the tenth Detective Conan movie, ''[[The Private Eyes' Requiem]]''. Claiming that someone dear to him had been captured by the theme park, he assisted Conan and Heiji in their investigations that day but later disappeared after they were separated by attackers. It is later revealed that 'Saguru' was actually Kaitou Kid in disguise.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
==== Hakuba family ====<br />
{{main|Hakuba Family}}<br />
His father is the Metropolitan Police chief in Japan. His paternal uncle also apparently runs a research laboratory in Ekoda. His father appeared only once in Magic Kaito, when he asked [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] to look after Saguru. <br />
<br />
In subsequent appearances in both manga series, Saguru's sole caretaker seems to be a [[Saguru's Housekeeper|housekeeper]] whom he refers to as 'baya'<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 4|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Dark Knight (Part 1)|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=}}</ref> or 'governess' in the English translation.<ref name="Twilight">{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|date=2009-07-21|isbn=1-4215-2198-9|title=Case Closed|volume=Volume 30|publisher=Viz Media|chapter=File 6: Murder|language=English|location=San Francisco|page=96}}</ref><br />
<br />
==== Kaito Kuroba/Kaitou Kid ====<br />
[[File:MK9 166.png|thumb|left|200px|Saguru confronts Kaito.]]<br />
The relationship between Saguru and [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] is a rather tense one; Saguru convinced himself early on that Kaito was indeed Kid, and during the first few volumes he's constantly throwing out offhand comments that show his suspicion. However, later on in the manga, we have a small scene where Saguru calls Kaito from Paris in order to give him some information on 'Chat Noir', a dangerous, fellow gem thief trying to outshine Kid.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 4|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Golden Eye Part 1|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=18}}</ref> Though Kaito continues to vehemently deny being Kid, Saguru gives him the information anyways, ending the conversation with, "Do your best at least. I don't want to see you lose to anyone before I capture you myself". Whether that was his actual motive, or if he was merely concerned for Kaito's well being, or a mix of both, is unknown.<br />
<br />
==== Aoko Nakamori ====<br />
[[File:MK9 139.png|thumb|right|200px|Saguru and Aoko.]]<br />
Prior to the heist in Volume 3, Chapter 3, Saguru seems to flirt with [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]] after Kaito turns down Aoko's offer to go to the Prince Prince concert. Saguru and Kaito then make a bet that if Saguru manages to catch Kid then Saguru will go to the concert with Aoko, and if he fails to capture the thief, Kaito will go instead. When interviewed before the heist, Saguru notes "Tonight's battle has a special meaning to me".<ref name="Vol3Chp3"/> However, Saguru seems to only be doing this to irritate Kaito, and although initially surprised to have Saguru want to go to the concert with her, Aoko wants Saguru to fail during the heist so she can go with Kaito instead.<br />
<br />
==== Akako Koizumi ====<br />
In [[The Secret of the Red Tear]], Saguru is shown blushing at [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]]'s beauty. Aoko notices and teases him, which he quickly tries to deny. Akako looks delighted. Also in [[The Witch, the Detective, and the Phantom Thief]], Saguru is shown blushing when Akako comes and drags Kaito away and he thinks that she is out of his league.<br />
<br />
=== Other ===<br />
==== Ginzo Nakamori ====<br />
Despite Inspector Nakamori's years of experience with Kaitou Kid heists, Saguru displays little respect towards him. He is quick to point out that the Inspector has amassed little concrete data on Kaitou Kid over the years, and will not hesitate to order the Inspector and his men around despite technically having no authority to do so.<br />
<br />
==== Spider ====<br />
Saguru and [[Spider]] are both enemies.<br />
<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
The kanji reading for 探 (Saguru) means "to search" and the reading for 白馬 (Hakuba) means "white horse". Like most Magic Kaito main characters, the name references a color; in this case Hakuba's white opposes [[Kaito Kuroba#Name origin|Kuroba's black]]. As a nod to the family name, the Hakuba family seems to use the horse as its emblem. Saguru has a horse on his pocket-watch and the Hakuba laboratory has a horse on its facade as well. His name may also be a homage to Sherlock Holmes, as their names share the same initials.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Saguru's eyes are blue in his manga appearances, but brown in the anime.<br />
* In the tenth Detective Conan movie it was stated that Saguru had been studying Criminal Science in London.<br />
* Saguru wasn't given an English name in Case Closed. In volume 30, the Twilight Mansion case and his only translated American appearance to date, he was simply referred to by his original name, like the other one-shot detectives in the case.<br />
* In [[Magic Kaito]], Saguru acquires a strand of the Kid's hair and runs a genetic scan on it, determining that the Kid is a fifteen-to-seventeen-year-old male with a higher-than-average IQ. He then runs this information against a database of Tokyo teenagers and comes up with a list of possible Kaitou Kids, at the top of which was Kaito Kuroba's name. However, it's interesting to wonder whether [[Shinichi Kudo]], another sixteen-year-old Tokyo resident with a similar build and above-average intelligence, made Saguru's list, but the search included only teenagers with blood type B, and it has never actually been stated what Shinichi's is (although Kogoro Mouri mentions that Conan's blood type is rare<ref name="j10">Episode 189</ref>) Type B is not a common blood type<ref name="k11">See population breakdown by country here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group_system#ABO_and_Rh_distribution_by_country</ref>, so it is possible that this is Shinichi's type.<br />
* With his name spelt in romaji and read with given name before family name, Saguru would get the same initials as Sherlock Holmes.<br />
