Shinichi Kudo

Shinichi Kudo is the famous detective, main protagonist, and narrator of Detective Conan. Though he's the main character, his popularity is a bit lagging in Japan compared to the other four characters we mentioned above (but he's still very widely beloved, by the way!)

The story started when Shinichi and his friend Ran Mori were on a date. He met two mysterious men from a criminal organization, who fed him a strange medicine that made his body shrink to his first-grade appearance. Later, Shinichi decided to use a new alias "Edogawa Conan", planning to use his detective skill to help Kogoro Mori - Ran's detective father become famous. By doing so, he hopes that he will finally encounter a case about that mysterious criminal organization, exposing its deeds, and get his hands on an antidote to gain his body back.

From an early age, Shinichi Kudo was very intelligent, observant, and intuitive. Thanks to his dad's influence, Shinichi has always been a persistent and incessant reader of mystery novels. Even more, his dad even took him to crime scenes when he was a mere child, inspiring him to become a detective.

Sometimes, Shinichi's bluntness makes him seem arrogant and rude. But in fact, the boy cares very deeply about the people around him, and cannot understand why there are reasons big enough for people to kill each other.
