help Case Closed (Detective Conan) FAQ
Why does Shinichi Kudo call himself Conan Edogawa?
After the Black Organization forces Shinichi to swallow an experimental poison, his body shrinks to that of a child. He creates the name Conan Edogawa from mystery writers Arthur Conan Doyle and Edogawa Ranpo while secretly continuing his detective work.
Does Ran Mouri know that Conan is really Shinichi?
Ran repeatedly suspects that Conan and Shinichi are the same person, but Conan usually deflects her suspicions to protect her from the Black Organization. His double life also complicates his romantic feelings for Ran throughout the series.
Why does Conan use Kogoro Mouri to solve cases?
Conan tranquilizes Kogoro with a wristwatch dart and uses a voice-changing bow tie to deliver deductions in his voice. This creates Kogoro's reputation as the famous Sleeping Kogoro while allowing Conan to conceal his adult-level intelligence.
Where should a new viewer start Detective Conan?
The television anime began in 1996, so starting with the earliest episodes gives the clearest introduction to Shinichi, Ran, Kogoro and the Black Organization. Viewers interested mainly in the central conspiracy can instead follow a curated selection of Black Organization stories on Crunchyroll.
