Conan Edogawa

Conan Edogawa is the alias of Shinichi Kudo, and the titular protagonist of Gosho Aoyama's manga and anime series Detective Conan. He is also known as Jimmy Kudo in the manga's North American releases, titled Case Closed.

Shinichi Kudo is a teenage detective prodigy with a reputation for solving crime cases no one has ever done before. One day, he encounters two men of the villainous "Black Organization", who forced him to ingest a poison named APTX 4869, leaving him for dead. However, instead of killing him, the poison caused his entire body to shrink into a 6-7 year old child while retaining his mental faculties. After this incident, Shinichi resolves to take down the Black Organization and find an antidote to APTX 4869.

In his shrunken form, he goes by the alias Conan Edogawa, based from real-life mystery writers Arthur Conan Doyle and Ranpo Edogawa. As a physically de-aged child, he's forced to study in elementary school, where he eventually forms a band of friends called the "Detective Boys". At the same time, Conan continues to solve criminal cases using his childhood friend's father and washout detective Kogorou Mouri as a front.

While many fans regard Conan and Shinichi as separate characters, most anime contests, as well as this wiki, will treat both of them as the same person.

ISML record
Conan is one of the most famous anime and manga characters among mainstream audiences because the series appeals to all ages and genders. The franchise is one of the biggest and longest running with over 1000 manga chapters, over 1000 anime episodes, and over 20 feature films. The show has been broadcasted to multiple countries and translated into several languages.

Detective Conan's active Chinese fanbase is a primary factor in his frequent appearances in the International Saimoe League, where a voting faction is dedicated for him and Ai Haibara to receive enough nomination votes to keep them qualified in the contest. However, this support isn't enough to sustain him over the course of the regular season, as he often loses out in the middle periods against typical ISML powerhouses. Conan first appeared in ISML 2011's male exhibitions, and later returned in ISML 2016 where he has attended every main tournament ever since. The detective earned his first honour by winning the Aquamarine ring exhibition award after scoring 4 wins in the 2020 edition's first group stage.

In ISML 2021, Conan was assigned to the Winter seasonal because of his anime's long-running year-round schedule. He was placed in a stacked round-robin group of ISML regulars and highly-voted newcomers. Conan defeated newcomer Satoru Gojo, one of the highest-nominated males of that year, and easily disposed of fellow shonen protags Naruto and Luffy. He lost to Tanjiro Kamado, the eventual winner, and to debutante Izumi Miyamura in the final group round, eliminating him at 3rd place. Only time will tell whether he will be automatically assigned for next year's seasonals.
