Characters
Here you will find most of the characters in the series, and brief description of them.

Shinichi, or Conan? Shinichi Kudo
17 year old high school detective. Big fan of Sherlock Homes and great at soccer. Childhood friend of Mouri Ran. Shinichi has feelings for Ran, but can't be truthful about it. He realizes that Ran is in love with him when Ran confided in the transformed Conan.

Conan Edogawa
The child form of Shinichi after being forced to drink a mysterious pill by men in black. Shinichi used the name Edogawa Conan to hide his true identity from the people around him. He lives with Mouri Ran and her dad, Mouri Kogoro. Uses voice changing bowtie and other nifty mecha created by Dr. Agasa when solving cases.



Ran Mouri
Classmate and childhood friend of Shinichi Kudo. She secretly likes Shinichi and worries about him during his absence. Ran is very strong willed. She is also a karate expert. She can beat the crap out of her opponents if she isn't scared or semi-unconcious, and has helped in several cases when the criminal tried to escape or cause more harm to people around. Ran cooks for Conan and her dad. When she's not around they starve or go out for food. She is also the responsible one between her and her dad.

Her closest encounter with death came in "The Case of the Mummy", when she accidentally saw something and became the target of a ruthless killer who tried to kill her three times without success.


Ran


Kogoro Kogoro Mouri
Ran's father. Kogoro's career was going downhill because he is a totally incompetent detective. The arrival of Conan (Shinichi) turned his career around as Conan secretly solved all his crimes for him. As Conan always put him to sleep before impersonating his voice to solve the cases, he was later known as the "Sleeping Kogoro". Before he became a real "meitantei" (famous detecive), he was always mistook for a famous Japanese pilot.

Kogoro used to be a detective in the police department, working along side with Inspector Megure. An incident caused him to retire from the force early and do what he does now. Believe it or not, he is actually the best judo player in his university, but never won a competition because he got stage-fright every time. This was revealed in "The Case of Kogoro's Class Gathering", in which he solved the case himself. Well, with some hints with Conan of course!


Ai Haibara
She is like Shinichi. Her real name is Shiho Miyano. She was the one who invented the drug that shrunk Shinichi and herself. Her codename was Sherry, but the death of her older sister (in "The Case the Strange Person Hunt")made her turn away from the Underground Crime Ring. When the Underground decided to kill her, they handcuffed her to a pipe on the wall to await her execution. Since they were going to kill her, she took her own drug, intent on killing herself first. Instead, she was shrunk, and her hand was able to slip out of the handcuffs.

She then join Conan's school, and later became part of the Shonen Detective Club.



Ai, or Sherry?


Detective Boys Detective Boys: Genta Kojima, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, Ayumi Yoshida
Classmates of Conan. They like to solve mysteries, but most of the ones that they do solve is mainly solved by Conan. They do however help Conan with ideas. There is a little love triangle going on between the foursome; Ayumi likes Conan, but Mitsuhiko and Genta like Ayumi and, of course, Conan likes Ran.

Ayumi also view the inclusion of Ai as a possible threat to her "relationship" with Conan. In the case of "Murder on a Monday Evening (7:30pm)", Ayumi was used by the killer to provide an alibi, which was dispelled by Conan.








Heiji Hattori
The west version of Shinichi (another famous high school detective). First appearance in Volume 10, when he lost to Shinichi in a murder case. Conan was transformed into Shinchi for a short period of time due to an unknown reaction and he beat Heiji to the case.Heiji realized the truth that Conan is Shinichi in Volume 13. Tends to call Conan using his real name "Shinichi" (and that make Ran suspicious who really Conan is!). Solves some cases together with Conan, the latest being "The Case of the Shadow Planner", when Heiji nearly died after being attacked by the killer and fell into the sea.
