The first person to learn Shinichi is Conan Edogawa, he has invented all of Conan's special gadgets as well as the Detective Boys' badges.

Background

Personality

Name origin

Agasa's name comes from mystery writer Agatha Christie. Also, his first name Hiroshi is a pun as it is written with the same kanji for hakase (博士 professor?).

Additionally, his great uncle and aunt, Kurisuke (栗介 ?) and Teiko (定子 ?), get their names from the Japanese pronunciation of Christie (クリスティ Kurisuti?) (Kurisuke obviously comes from Kurisu (クリス), but Teiko comes from Tei (テイ), and alternate writing for Ti (ティ)).

Trivia

  • Agasa has a mole on his butt with a hair sticking out of it (which Conan revealed while trying to prove his real identity to the Professor).[1]
