## Definition[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Fanon&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Definition")]
**Fanon** is a collection of facts about a fictional universe that are generally accepted as true by certain groups of fans, but are not considered part of the official storyline. Fanon contrasts with **[canon](/wiki/Canon "Canon")**: the information, characters, settings, and plot that compose the official storyline of a fictional universe.
Colloquially, the word "fanon" is reserved for the storylines of fan-produced works, such as fanfiction. The storylines of professional authorized adaptations, such as the Detective Conan movies, are usually called something more prestigious like "extended-canon" because they are professional, authorized, and typically more consistent with canon. Sometimes elements from these close-to-canon adaptations becomes actual canon.
On pages other than this one, this wiki includes information from only two non-canon sources alongside canon information: the Detective Conan [Anime](/wiki/Anime "Anime") and [Movies](/wiki/Movies "Movies") and [Detective Conan Special](/wiki/Detective_Conan_Special "Detective Conan Special"). For [Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito"), information from the [Specials](/wiki/Magic_Kaito#Specials "Magic Kaito") and series [Magic Kaito 1412](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_1412 "Magic Kaito 1412") is used alongside the Magic Kaito manga.
## Detective Conan Examples[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Fanon&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Detective Conan Examples")]
### Detective Conan animation[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Fanon&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Detective Conan animation")]
The non-manga-derived [episode](/wiki/Anime "Anime") (AO: anime only), [Movie](/wiki/Movies "Movies"), [OVA](/wiki/OVA "OVA"), and [Special](/wiki/Special "Special") plots together constitute the anime/movie canon. While not created by Gosho, the plots often have Gosho's explicit approval. Unlike other sources, elements of this extended canon frequently become real canon. Characters like [Ninzaburo Shiratori](/wiki/Ninzaburo_Shiratori "Ninzaburo Shiratori"), [Wataru Takagi](/wiki/Wataru_Takagi "Wataru Takagi"), and [Azusa Enomoto](/wiki/Azusa_Enomoto "Azusa Enomoto") were first introduced in the anime and then became core manga canon characters.
#### Examples of animated canon[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Fanon&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Examples of animated canon")]
:   *See also: [List of differences between the manga and anime](/wiki/List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime "List of differences between the manga and anime")*
* In the anime and movies, [Conan](/wiki/Conan "Conan") often travels around on his [Turbo Engine Skateboard](/wiki/Turbo_Engine_Skateboard "Turbo Engine Skateboard"). This contrasts sharply with the manga canon. As of file 920, Conan has used his skateboard in only two cases: its [introductory case](/wiki/Volume_9#Trapped_Ayumi_Case "Volume 9") where Conan uses it to keep up with the car where Ayumi had been accidentally locked in a trunk, and briefly when Conan used it to rendezvous with Agasa and Haibara at a restaurant after they warned him about [two suspicious people](/wiki/Volume_65#Dangerous_Couple_Case "Volume 65").
* In the movies, [Conan](/wiki/Conan "Conan") frequently uses the excuse that he learned various adult-level skills in Hawaii. This includes shooting firearms, driving cars, boats and helicopters.
* In the movies, [Kaitou Kid](/wiki/Kaitou_Kid "Kaitou Kid") has clearly learned that Conan is Shinichi.

### Detective Conan live action[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Fanon&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Detective Conan live action")]
A series of non-canon live action drama including [four specials](/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Drama_TV_Specials&action=edit&redlink=1 "Category:Drama TV Specials (page does not exist)") and [The Challenge Letter to Shinichi Kudo series](/wiki/Challenge_Letter_to_Shinichi_Kudo "Challenge Letter to Shinichi Kudo") mostly featured cases from Shinichi's past before he was shrunk into Conan.

### Detective Conan Special[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Fanon&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Detective Conan Special")]
Main article: [Detective Conan Special](/wiki/Detective_Conan_Special "Detective Conan Special")
***Detective Conan Special*** (名探偵コナン特別編 ,*Meitantei Konan Tokubetsuhen*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese")) are short stories drawn by [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama")'s assistants published as volumes under [Shogakukan's](/wiki/Shogakukan "Shogakukan") **Ladybug Comics** (てんとうむしコミックス ,*Tentō Mushi Comikkusu*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese")) label. The stories found in the Special volumes hold no bearing on the plot of the [main comic](/wiki/Manga "Manga").[](#cite_note-1)[](#cite_note-2) Because the creators of the comics are close to Aoyama Gosho, sometimes their stories are adapted into non-canon anime episodes. These are Episode 86 - [The Kidnapping Location Case](/wiki/The_Kidnapping_Location_Case "The Kidnapping Location Case") and Episode 113 - [The White Sandy Beach Murder Case](/wiki/The_White_Sandy_Beach_Murder_Case "The White Sandy Beach Murder Case"). [The Kidnapping Location Case](/wiki/The_Kidnapping_Location_Case "The Kidnapping Location Case") episode is significant as it introduces the [Electronic Notebook Map](/wiki/Electronic_Notebook_Map "Electronic Notebook Map") gadget, however this device has not been used since this case.
#### Examples of Detective Conan Special canon[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Fanon&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Examples of Detective Conan Special canon")]
* Conan dislikes raisins (which was eventually adopted to canon).
* DCS introduces numerous Special-only [Black Organization](/wiki/Black_Organization "Black Organization") characters such as [Generic](/wiki/Generic "Generic"), [Arrack](/wiki/Arrack "Arrack"), and [Blackbeard](/wiki/Blackbeard "Blackbeard").

* In fanfiction [Shinichi Kudo](/wiki/Shinichi_Kudo "Shinichi Kudo") always, always drinks his coffee black. Some go further to say that he is a coffee addict. This could've been sourced from Sherlock Holmes, who was a cocaine and morphine addict.

### English-language fanfiction writing community[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Fanon&action=edit&section=17 "Edit section: English-language fanfiction writing community")]
* [Kuroba Kaito](/wiki/Kuroba_Kaito "Kuroba Kaito")'s eye colour is usually described as violet or purple. In the [Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito") series it is depicted as blue. On the other hand in [Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan") as [Kaitou Kid](/wiki/Kaitou_Kid "Kaitou Kid") it is a darker colour. This is possibly due to the shadows from his hat and the fact that he always appears at night.
