Main characters of the series
The series was created and is drawn by Gosho Aoyama. The protagonists from his earlier series Magic Kaito look very similar: Kaitou Kid has made a number of appearances as himself in the anime and manga of the series. The main protagonist of the Detective Conan series, Shinichi Kudo, and the protagonist of the Magic Kaito series, Kaito Kuroba are also similar. Hundreds of minor characters have been created and are always given backgrounds, motives, and personalities that put them under suspicion during the investigation. Please do note that only main and canon characters are listed here. Minor recurring manga characters can be found here. You can also view the anime-only characters page.
The English adaption dubbed by Funimation, called Case Closed, has different names than the one in the manga published by Viz Media.
