Conan Edogawa

Conan Edogawa, also known as Kudou Shinichi, Shin-chan, Cool Kid, Silver Bullet and Jimmy Kudo, is the titular main protagonist from the Detective Conan series.
==Charactah Account==
Conan 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. 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.
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 as well as other medias.

==Trivia==
* 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.
* 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 said by Kogoro out of irritation at Conan (right before Conan tranquillized him). Conan's habit of acting juvenile to disguise his real abilities also draws the ire of the Detective Boys.
* Conan/Shinichi and Ran share the same blood type as mentioned in episode 189.
* In Akako's Delivery Service, Saguru Hakuba acquires a strand of Kaitou Kid's hair and runs a genetic scan on it, determining that 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, 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). Type B is not a common blood type, so it is possible that this is Shinichi's type.
* Conan/Shinchi's favourite drink is iced coffee as shown in episode 814, 919, etc. Shinichi's favourite drink is shown in Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie when Daisuke says that he isn't the only one who drinks iced coffee throughout the year. The lemon pie does not count as Shinichi's favourite during The Memories of First Love Case because the woman Asami Uchida, whose first love was Shinichi, told this to Ran and her speciality 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 favourite and it was only brought up during that case alone.
* 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.
* 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 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 the information they might have in other areas and thus can extend the time it takes for important realizations to come to light.
* In file 1045, it is revealed that Conan and Yumi have each other's phone numbers.
* In file 900, it is revealed that Conan and Miwako Sato have each other's phone numbers.
* 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".
* 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:
** Megure in particular begins to wonder if Kogoro is the Angel of Death, later on, more accurately shifting his joking suspicions towards Conan himself as seen in Episode 549.
** During The Final Screening Murder Case (manga chapter 222/anime episode 138) where the Detective Boys are watching movies in a theatre and Ai tells Conan he should relax and enjoy a "child's vacation." When someone is killed at the back of the theatre, Ai remarks, "It seems you never have time for a vacation."
** 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.
** In file 1088 Heiji said that the level of his Grim Reaper that gets him involved in cases is not high as Conan’s.
** 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 that there are always cases when he's around!"
** 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.
** At the beginning of the first file of the paper aeroplane 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.
** 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.
** In Zero Tea Time File 52 Amuro thought about Conan when he thought that something bad happens wherever you go like the Grim Reaper when Sakurako Yonehara talked about the grim reaper when she said she feels like she cursed because there are cases and police investigations happen at the places she works as a housekeeper.
* In episode 681, it's revealed Conan has Detective Chiba's phone number.
* According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book he likes curry the most, he and his dad like Yukiko Paella the most.
* He is just like Minamoto no Yoshitsune, the protagonist in the book Yoshitsune Chronicles.
