			== Creation and conception ==
			[[File:Magic Kaito Manuscript Shiratori.jpg\|thumb\|200px\|Shiratori's original character design from a ''Magic Kaito'' manuscript.]]
			Ninzaburo Shiratori was originally designed as a character for ''Magic Kaito'', when [[Gosho Aoyama]] was thinking about a plot for a potential movie. When the plot was proposed and developed into [[The Time-Bombed Skyscraper]]<sup>(movie 1)</sup>, he became a character for ''Detective Conan''.

			He was originally created for the [[Regular movies\|''Detective Conan'' movies]], but he became a permanent character in the [[Manga\|manga]] after.

			His background story was slightly altered when he became a regular character in the manga. In [[The Time-Bombed Skyscraper]]<sup>(movie 1)</sup>, he was said to be new to the force. However, in the manga, it was later said that he'd been on the force since at least three years prior, and longer than Takagi.

However after Shiratori was incorporated into the manga, it was later said that he'd been on the force since at least three years prior, and longer than Takagi.		* According to [[16 Suspects!?]]<sup>(OVA 2)</sup>, Shiratori owns a big villa in Karuizawa.
	* Originally, he was created for the movies, but became a permanent character in the manga and anime. The plot of the first movie was intended as a story arc for ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' for a while. Gosho Aoyama said that he already wrote the plot back in school, and considered it for ''[[Yaiba]]'' once, but it didn't fit the kind of story it was, and then for ''Magic Kaito'', but there wasn't any opportunity to integrate it. When he got told that ''Detective Conan'' was getting a movie adaptation, he proposed the plot for this project, but says that he regrets it by now, since [[Teiji Moriya]], the main antagonist, was based on James Moriarty and he would have preferred to tell a story like that in the manga. Because of this, he was originally designed as a character for ''Magic Kaito'' before transitioning him to ''Detective Conan'' together with the plot he debuted in.		* His family background was changed for the English dubbed version of movie 2: [[The Fourteenth Target]]<sup>(movie 2)</sup> in order to give him a connection to the number 3 and hence put him on 3rd position of the murderer's hit-list.
