Shinichi Kudo
A brilliant high school detective who solves impossible crimes with logic and observation, only to be transformed into a child after a run-in with a mysterious criminal organization.
Story
Shinichi Kudo is a world-renowned high school detective living in Tokyo. The son of a famous mystery novelist and a retired actress, he possesses an extraordinary intellect and a keen eye for detail, often assisting the police in solving complex murder cases. His life changes drastically during a visit to an amusement park with his childhood friend Ran Mouri, where he witnesses a suspicious deal by men in black. After being caught, he is forced to ingest an experimental poison called APTX 4869, which, instead of killing him, shrinks his body to the size of a primary school student. To hide his identity and protect those around him, he adopts the alias Conan Edogawa while continuing to solve crimes behind the scenes, searching for a way to regain his original form and take down the Black Organization.
World
Modern Tokyo is a city where ordinary life conceals a relentless succession of crimes, investigated through evidence, deduction, and police procedure rather than supernatural forces. The Black Organization operates in secrecy beyond the law, while investigators pursue justice through fragile alliances. As a High School Student and Private Detective, Shinichi stands between official authority and hidden criminal networks.
Appearance
A handsome teenage boy with a slim but athletic build. He has short, dark brown hair with a distinctive cowlick at the back and bangs that frame his face. His eyes are blue and sharp, reflecting his intelligence. He is most commonly seen wearing his blue Teitan High School uniform, which consists of a blazer, white shirt, and green tie, or casual clothing suitable for a teenager.
Current outfit
Blue Teitan High School blazer made of suit fabric, paired with a crisp white collared shirt, a green necktie, and matching blue trousers.
Era
Modern-day Tokyo urban setting
Notes
Arrogant, intelligent, justice-oriented, observant, and brave, Shinichi seeks to expose the Black Organization and regain his original body. Exceptional deductive reasoning and encyclopedic knowledge solve cases, at the cost of danger to loved ones and a normal teenage life. Overconfidence, tone-deafness, and feelings for Ran Mouri invite exploitation. His pointing finger, blue school blazer, and exceptional soccer skills are unmistakable.
