Conan Edogawa, alias of Shinichi Kudo—a teenage detective transformed into a child after ingesting the Black Organization’s experimental poison APTX 4869—retains his sharp intellect and deductive skills despite his regressed body. To evade detection, he adopts the persona “Conan Edogawa,” blending names from mystery authors Arthur Conan Doyle and Edogawa Rampo, and lives under the care of childhood friend Ran Mouri, aided by inventor Professor Hiroshi Agasa. Covertly solving cases through Ran’s father, Kogoro Mouri—a down-on-his-luck private detective—Conan employs Agasa’s gadgets, such as a tranquilizer dart watch and voice-mimicking bowtie, to subdue Kogoro and present deductions through his alias “Sleeping Kogoro.” This ruse lets Conan gather intel on the Black Organization while attending Teitan Elementary School, where he joins classmates Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta in the Detective Boys, masking investigations with youthful escapades. In *The Scarlet Bullet*, Conan untangles kidnappings tied to the World Sports Games and a maglev train launch, uncovering links to a 15-year-old Boston abduction case probed by the FBI. Partnering with agent Shuichi Akai and detective Masumi Sera, he exposes the culprit via inconsistencies in phone records, culminating in a high-speed train showdown where Akai remotely fires a specialized bullet to avert disaster. Balancing a childlike facade with flashes of mature insight, Conan addresses Ran as “Ran-neechan” and references “Shinichi-niichan” to deflect suspicion, often attributing his brilliance to “TV shows.” His soccer prowess, amplified by Agasa’s power-enhancing shoes, disarms foes, while improvised tools—like using surroundings for precise strikes—offset his physical limits. Driven to reclaim his true age and dismantle the Black Organization, Conan allies with FBI operatives, fellow APTX victim Haibara, and Akai, leveraging their trust to navigate dangers. Adults around him gradually accept his uncanny talents, easing his need for constant pretense. Standing 18 kg with a May 4 birthdate, his alias and cunning render him a cultural icon, yet his focus stays fixed on solving cases, shielding loved ones, and pursuing an APTX 4869 antidote.
