List of Case Closed characters
The manga series Case Closed, also known as Detective Conan, features a large cast of fictional characters created by Gosho Aoyama. Set in modern-day Japan, it follows amateur high school detective Jimmy Kudo as he solves cases in an episodic fashion while in his childhood body and under the alias Conan Edogawa. He is joined by childhood friend Rachel Moore and her father Richard, who runs a detective agency. Throughout the series, Conan interacts and befriends many characters from various groups: the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, the local police in Conan's prefecture; the Junior Detective League, a group of children who solve mysteries for their clients; and the FBI. He also befriends a few individuals who know of his true identity: Dr. Agasa, who provides Jimmy with various spy gadgets; Harley Hartwell, a fellow high school detective from Osaka; and Anita Hailey, the original developer of the poison that turned him, and her, into children.
The manga is licensed by Viz Media while the anime adaptation was first licensed and dubbed by Funimation, then later dubbed by the Macias Group and released on Tubi, followed by a dub of select episodes by Studio Nano and released on Crunchyroll and Netflix. Funimation and Viz have Americanized many character names, with both companies using different names or spellings for the same characters on several occasions. Other English releases such as the manga published in Singapore by Shogakukan Asia, the anime streaming on Tubi, the curated dub on Crunchyroll and Netflix, and the home videos dubbed by Bang Zoom! Entertainment and released through Discotek Media romanize the Japanese names.
The list follows the names as presented by the Viz Media manga.
Jimmy Kudo, known as Shinichi Kudo (工藤 新一, Kudō Shin'ichi) in Japan, is a high school detective who solves difficult cases for the police. During one of his investigations, he is attacked and forced to take an experimental poison by a member of the Black Organization. However, due to a rare side-effect, he shrinks to the form of a young child.[ch. 1] In order to keep his true identity a secret, he now goes under the alias Conan Edogawa (江戸川 コナン, Edogawa Konan) and pretends to be a real child to throw off suspicion while he secretly solves many cases and looks for clues about the organization.[ch. 2] He loves his childhood friend Ran Mori, but cannot confess his feelings or reveal his true identity in order to protect her.
Rachel Moore, known as Ran Mori (毛利 蘭, Mōri Ran) in Japan, has been Jimmy Kudo's friend since elementary school. She adores Jimmy but is afraid to admit it, and whenever the subject of their relationship is brought up, she denies it is romantic. Rachel frequently worries about his safety and anticipates his return. As captain of the karate team and a regional champion, she is an accomplished fighter but remains fearful of horror films.[ch. 1] Rachel's parents are also skilled martial artists. She is very kind and willing to assist anyone in need, even if the individual is a potential criminal. In one instance, her compassion motivates Vermouth to keep Jimmy's identity hidden from the Black Organization. As with Jimmy, she opposes the idea of killing anyone, including criminals, believing that criminals should face trial. She is regarded as a role model by the Junior Detective League, and the children frequently seek her advice. She is adept at household chores such as sewing, knitting, and cooking, and has a knack for chance games, rarely losing in games such as mahjong. She spends the majority of her time at home caring for Conan and her father. Her parents live apart, and she is hoping that they will reconcile. She has suspected Conan Edogawa of being Jimmy throughout the series. Nonetheless, Jimmy dupes her into second-guessing herself.[ch. 3, 258]
Although he hesitated to call her perfect, Aoyama said he conceived of Rachel to be a girl that Jimmy could dream about; a responsible student, top athlete, good cook, kindhearted, and very loyal. Having never created a girl like her before, the author said he wanted to draw a girl who was strong in every way. With kendo, karate and judo being the only martial arts he knew how to draw, and having already used the first one in his previous series Yaiba, Aoyama decided on karate for Rachel because it was "cooler".[vol. 83:cast profiles] Her Japanese name, Ran Mori, originates from Maurice Leblanc (Mo-ri-su Ru-bu-ran), the creator of Arsene Lupin.[vol. 4:Mystery Library]
Richard Moore, known as Kogoro Mori (毛利 小五郎, Mōri Kogorō) in Japan, is Rachel's father and a private detective. Richard gains fame due to Conan frequently sedating him and impersonating his voice to solve cases. He and Conan share a certain amount of rivalry. At times, Richard is egocentric, claiming credit for cracking cases that Conan had already solved during their time together. Because he appears to be tired or sleeping when solving a case, he is often referred to as "Sleeping Moore" (眠りの小五郎, Nemuri no Kogorō; lit. "Sleeping Kogoro").[ch. 119] Before becoming a private detective, he worked as a police officer under Inspector Meguire.[ch. 7] He is married to Eva Kaden, a successful lawyer and childhood friend, but they have been separated for over ten years due to their constant arguing.[ch. 107] He reveals that on many occasions, he still loves her and has attempted to reconcile their relationship.[ch. 266] Despite his irresponsible habits of drinking, gambling, and flirting with young women, he cares deeply for his daughter and at times displays his sense of honor and strict ethics. He is skilled in judo.[ch. 86]
Not expecting Case Closed to last long, Aoyama said he did not spend much time on Moore's design and basically drew a thinner version of Captain Nakamori from his earlier manga Magic Kaito. After being told they looked too similar, he gave Moore a pompadour and changed the mustache. When they later appeared together, he made Moore the taller character. Aoyama made him a former police officer working as a private detective because it would be easy to set up stories.[vol. 83:cast profiles] His Japanese name, Kogoro Mori, originates from Kogoro Akechi, a detective in Edogawa Rampo stories.[vol. 2:Mystery Library]
