Who is kudo shinichi

As himself, he tries to surprise Ran by disguising himself as a character in her play, but is interrupted by a murder case and ends up revealing himself to his entire high school. Heiji Hattori covers for him and Shinichi is able to spend about 48 hours as himself, albeit with a brief collapse about halfway through. He turns back into Conan just as he seems to be about to confess his feelings to Ran.

Shinichi's next appearance is not until Volume 62 , when, while on a case with Heiji, Conan goes missing and 'Shinichi' seems to appear. The 'Shinichi' is actually someone who had gotten plastic surgery to look like Shinichi Kudo, and is actually trying to blame Shinichi for a murder. The real Shinichi hides in the forest until he can clear his name. Shinichi had been temporarily restored by another of Haibara's prototypes, but this time by accident; Agasa mistakenly gave them to Shinichi thinking they were cold medicine.

After the case is solved Shinichi transforms back to Conan, but luckily, Haibara secretly followed him there and gives him another antidote, saving him from revealing his identity to Kogoro, Ran and Kazuha.

While driving home from the case, the group is stopped by another murder which Shinichi and Heiji investigate together, despite increasing pangs that warn of his imminent reversion to Conan.

After the case is resolved, Ran tries to stop Shinichi from leaving, saying she has something to tell him. Shinichi stops her, saying "According to my deductions, what you have to say and what I have to say are the same thing. Haibara and Professor Agasa have to cut and re-pin Conan's shirt onto him because Ran is still clutching his hand and he refuses to pull out of her grip. One year ago, Shinichi solved his first case by himself on a plane flying to New York City. The second half of this trip is retold in the next flashback.

There, they met Vermouth and Shuichi Akai for the first time. During a call to Conan, Heiji talks about a brilliant detective kid he met at a skiing trip during middle school who was actually Shinichi who he competed with to solve the mystery.

In Volume 55 , a flashback revealed that as first-graders, Shinichi and Ran had been given a riddle by the original Kaitou Kid , Toichi Kuroba. During an aquarium visit with Conan and the Detective Boys, Ran remembers going to the aquarium with Shinichi almost a year ago. After solving a murder case there, it is revealed how Shinichi came to promise Ran their trip to Tropical Land.

In Movie 7, Heiji was injured and Kazuha kidnapped; her abductors threatened to kill her unless Heiji showed up for her. Believing Heiji to be unable to do so, Conan contacted Ai and asked if there was any way for him to briefly become Heiji. Ai gave him medicine to simulate the effects of a cold, then he drank some Baijiu which had changed him in his and Heiji's first manga appearance. Conan became Shinichi for approximately an hour, but according to Ai he was extremely weak and sick for the entire time.

In OVA 9, Conan takes another prototype antidote. However, it proves less effective than the prototype he used during the Desperate Revival arc; Conan became Shinichi, but only for a few hours, and remained in a feverish state, unable to wake up until he had reverted back to Conan.

During his time unconscious, he had a vivid hallucination that he had grown to age 17 again as Conan and that Ran, aged 27, was about to marry Tomoaki Araide. Main article: Challenge Letter to Shinichi Kudo. Since Shinichi is not featured as prominently as Conan throughout the series, only a few of his relationships with other characters have been substantially explored.

Main article: Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri. Ran Mouri is Shinichi's childhood friend and canonical love interest. They have been friends and playmates since kindergarten, though Shinichi's tendency to drag Ran along into minor trouble caused some censure from her mother. Shinichi has liked Ran since at least the first year of middle school, and turned down any other potential love interests as a result, but she has never realized this. Shinichi was similarly oblivious to Ran's regard until Ran confessed to Conan that despite his faults, which she is well aware of, she has liked Shinichi for some time.

Shinichi has since confessed his feelings to Ran in the non- canon 4th movie 'Captured In Her Eyes' which Ran mistook as his attempt to get her memories back , and made attempts to say something during temporary cures in the manga and anime, but cases always seem to interfere until the cure runs out.

Shinichi since then has finally canonically confessed to Ran in the case in London. Ran has yet to verbally return his confession, but Shinichi is confident he now understands how she feels already. Shinichi's initial disappearance troubled Ran to the point of insomnia and nearly going to the police. Since then, Shinichi sometimes calls Ran over the telephone and imitates his normal voice with the voice-changing bowtie so that she doesn't worry about him.

He convinces her that he is off solving a very difficult case and will return once the investigation concludes. In reality, he is the brain behind her father's rapid rise to fame as a detective. For her part, Ran often blushes when thinking of Shinichi, especially when Sonoko teases her about their relationship. Her attitude towards Conan is one of more open, sisterly affection, such as giving him hugs or holding his hand.

Shinichi has some concerns of bodily harm should Ran realize that not only has he been lying to her, but they've shared a bed and taken a bath together. Shinichi and Ran appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making each of them feel the other's worry and agitation in times of extreme danger. Main article: Kudo family. Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo are both aware that Conan is in fact Shinichi. His parents are even more famous than he is, with Yusaku being a famous mystery novelist and Yukiko being a retired actress who remains partially involved in the industry.

They currently live in the United States and travel extensively, having left Shinichi in Japan on his own when he was fourteen. Though he sometimes finds his parents' carefree ways to be annoying, he loves them dearly. Yusaku is also a detective with the same keen eye for details, and similarly to Holmes' brother Mycroft, Yusaku always seems to solve a case one step ahead of his son.

Although not related by blood, there is a strong family-like bond between Shinichi and Hiroshi Agasa. Agasa was the first to know about Shinichi's shrunk predicament and was the one to tell him to keep it a secret. Most of the gadgets that Shinichi has were made by Agasa to help Shinichi catch the criminals and solve the cases as Conan. He also knows about Shinichi's romantic relationship with Ran and sometimes teases him about it in front of her when Shinichi can't do anything about it since he is Conan.

When they first meet, Conan and Heiji seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo bests Heiji in their first case. Even though Heiji discovers Shinichi's secret, he decides to keep quiet though he often slips up and calls him Kudo in front of others.

After Heiji realizes the truth, the two have become best friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They have solved many cases together, and Heiji is the person Shinichi turns to for advice or for confirmation regarding a deduction. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend or brother. Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better or even equal , and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" Osaka is better than the "east" Tokyo.

Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. He initially played to hone his reflexes and coordination as he often juggles a ball to clear his mind, but he is also an enthusiastic fan of the sport in its own right. Against criminals, his signature technique is launching various objects with superb precision from his kick to knock the foe out.

Shinichi's kick is accurate over long distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing, snowboarding, and ice-skating. Likewise, on a skateboard he can easily perform very complicated tricks and dodges with his skateboard at high speed. Aside from sports, Shinichi exhibits a knack and impeccable accuracy for handling firearms due to his father taking him to shooting ranges from time to time.

During the Clocktower Heist, Shinichi is able to shoot and dislodge the support beam of a giant projection screen with a single shot from a moving helicopter.

Additionally, in The Fourteenth Target , as Conan, he shot a bullet at Ran's leg with such precision, that while it rendered her unable to walk to force the criminal to let her go, but afterwards her leg healed cleanly with no lingering signs or damage. Between his natural aim and coordination, he can likewise hit his target shooting darts like in The Detective Boys Get Out of the Rain , when he throws them to a giant Gomera puppet so it can fall on the culprit.

Shinichi is nimble as well as strong. He is capable of considerable acrobatics, jumping great distances and swinging from tree to tree to escape onlookers. While it is unclear where his skill compares to Ran, he can effortlessly dodge a kicking assault from an angry Ran, something very few have ever managed.

How does however openly acknowledge Ran as stronger than him. With his proficiency, as seen in Shiragami Case , he disarms the culprit trying to commit suicide, and even against the expert judo practitioner Kogoro, in Drama Episode 13 , he avoided Kogoro and take him down as he tries to hurt him.

Shinichi cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being tone deaf. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Shinichi has perfect pitch and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody. Like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin.

However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays. He has remarkable intuition, able to tell when people are spying on him and if they are hiding something. He can defuse a bomb effortlessly without external instruction. He is also shown able to read lips. He is skilled in impersonation, able to mimic other people's voices, once pretending to be Heji, however he can have some difficultly changing his dialect.

He has skills in computer programming and hacking, however they are inferior Haibara's, regularly relying on her to help out; he was not able to crack Black Organization's encrypted data. In non-canon movie 2 he was able to pilot a helicopter as he had been training with a simulator since he was a kid. In non-canon movie 5 he was able to drive a car. Because the main plot revolves around the fact that Shinichi has become 'Conan' and is forced into hiding, Shinichi is rarely in the series as himself.

In these instances, it can be said that the character of Shinichi, albeit in the body of Conan, is appearing, since these phone conversations and text messages allow Shinichi to be himself, however briefly. The below instances however, are actual appearances of Shinichi as well as flashbacks from before the series began. Shinichi starts as himself in the Roller coaster murder case, but by the end he has been transformed into Conan, thus beginning the series' plot.

Since then, Conan has temporarily turned back to Shinichi several times. Shinichi's next real appearance after shrinking is when a strange detective from Osaka named Heiji Hattori arrives at Mouri Detective Agency looking for Shinichi in order to determine which of them is the better detective. A strange combination of having a cold and drinking the baijiu that Heiji had brought along allows Conan to briefly grow into Shinichi once again.

Conan is able to become Shinichi using an antidote that Ai Haibara synthesized. As himself, he tries to surprise Ran by disguising himself as a character in her play, but is interrupted by a murder case and ends up revealing himself to his entire high school. Heiji Hattori covers for him and Shinichi is able to spend about 48 hours as himself, albeit with a brief collapse about halfway through. He turns back into Conan just as he seems to be about to confess his feelings to Ran. Shinichi's next appearance is when, while on a case with Heiji, Conan goes missing and 'Shinichi' seems to appear.

This 'Shinichi' is actually someone who had gotten plastic surgery to look like Shinichi and is trying to frame Shinichi for a murder. The real Shinichi hides in the forest until he can clear his name. Shinichi had been temporarily restored by another of Haibara's prototypes, but this time by accident; Agasa mistakenly gave them to Shinichi thinking they were cold medicine. While driving home from the case, the group is stopped by another murder which Shinichi and Heiji investigate together, despite increasing pangs that warn of his imminent reversion to Conan.

After the case is resolved, Ran tries to stop Shinichi from leaving, saying she has something to tell him. Shinichi stops her, saying "According to my deductions, what you have to say and what I have to say are the same thing. Haibara and Professor Agasa have to cut and re-pin Conan's shirt onto him because Ran is still clutching his hand and he refuses to pull out of her grip.

However, since 'Conan Edogawa' doesn't have the proper credentials to fly internationally, Ai gives him a prototype pill so that Shinichi and Agasa can fly low-profile to England on the same plane that Ran and Kogoro are flying.

Ai provides a second prototype pill for the return journey, but Conan uses it while Ran was pursuing him in London. During that trip, Shinichi answers Ran's hurt feelings over his behavior with the fact that he cares for her and that he likes her; unfortunately, before she could respond or confess in kind, Shinichi has to vanish and becomes Conan again.

Luckily for Conan, Shinichi's parents appear because Ai had expected him to use the second pill, and they provide him with an extra antidote to let Conan return to Japan. Shinichi returns to his real body to take part in the field trip of his school to Kyoto. Shinichi meets an old friend of his mother and through her gets involved in a serial murder case among her and her famous movie friends.

After the case was solved, jealousy led Shinichi to ask Ran how she feels about him, since she never formally replied to his confession in London. Ran responds by kissing him on the cheek.

Shinichi wants to go in for a full kiss after that, but before they can do it, the antidote wears off and Shinichi has to leave. He later thanks Ran for her reply via text message, making her happy and forget his rushed exit. Although Shinichi asked the police to keep his involvement in the case secret again, rumours about high school detectives helping in the case spread quickly through the internet, with one poster mentioning seeing Shinichi in Kyoto, which doesn't go unnoticed by Hyoue Kuroda and Kanenori Wakita.

The rumours then rapidly evolve into another media frenzy around Shinichi's person. There, they encountered Sharon Vineyard and Shuichi Akai. During a call to Conan, Heiji talks about a brilliant detective kid he met at a skiing trip during middle school, 3 years ago. That kid was actually Shinichi, who he competed with to solve the mystery. A flashback revealed that 10 years ago, as first-graders, Shinichi and Ran had been given a riddle by the original Kaitou Kid , Toichi Kuroba.

During an aquarium visit with Conan and the Detective Boys, Ran remembers going to the aquarium with Shinichi almost a year ago. After solving a murder case there, it is revealed how Shinichi came to promise Ran their trip to Tropical Land. Heiji was injured and Kazuha kidnapped; her abductors threatened to kill her unless Heiji showed up for her. Believing Heiji to be unable to do so, Conan contacted Ai and asked if there was any way for him to briefly become Heiji.

Ai gave him medicine to simulate the effects of a cold, then he drank some Baijiu which had changed him in his and Heiji's first manga appearance.

During his time unconscious, he had a vivid hallucination that he had grown to age 17 again as Conan and that Ran, aged 27, was about to marry Tomoaki Araide. Since Shinichi is not featured as prominently as Conan throughout the series, only a few of his relationships with other characters have been substantially explored.

Ran Mouri is Shinichi's childhood friend and canonical love interest. They have been friends and playmates since kindergarten [13] [47] , though Shinichi's tendency to drag Ran along into minor trouble caused some censure from her mother. Shinichi has liked Ran since they were little. It was revealed when he is in the first year of middle school, and turned down any other potential love interests as a result, but she has never realized this. Shinichi has since confessed his feelings to Ran in the non- canon 4th movie 'Captured In Her Eyes' which Ran mistook as his attempt to get her memories back , and made attempts to say something during temporary cures in the manga and anime, but cases always seem to interfere until the cure runs out.

Shinichi since then has finally canonically confessed to Ran in the case in London. Top review. The emotions were more expressed here because of it made live and it also shows the place of Japan.

The mystery and suspense were done pretty good like in the anime. I just hope they will be making more of this with the same actors playing in this particular series. Details Edit. Release date April 15, Japan.

Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan. Technical specs Edit. Runtime 1 hour 35 minutes. Contribute to this page Suggest an edit or add missing content. Top Gap. By what name was Meitantei Conan: Kudo Shinichi e no chosenjo kaicho densetsu no nazo officially released in Canada in English?

Unfortunately, this has led him to be taken hostage on a few occasions, with luck being the main reason he hasn't been killed. Initially it was a simple inversion, with Conan the apparent six year old being The Man Behind the Man for the great Detective Mouri, but as time goes on, Shinchi-as-Conan wields increasing unofficial influence with more official crime-fighting agencies and manipulates them all the same.

Amuro makes clear during "The Scarlet Return" arc that Conan definitely looks like a case of The Dog Was the Mastermind to the few outsiders who actually figure out what role he plays in all of this, but despite Amuro's suspicions, Amuro still can't outpace Shinichi's mechanizations and leaves convinced that Conan did something without knowing what that something is or how to prove it.

That something was faking Akai Shuuichi's death by predicting the actions of the Big Bad 's crime syndicate down to the smallest variable and tricking them into believing that they successfully shot and killed Akai at point-blank range entirely of their own volition, in order to trick the FBI into trying to confirm the identity of the corpse, in order to trick the Tokyo Metropolitican Police Department's homicide division to analyze the "evidence" and confirm for the FBI that Akai was the corpse, in order to ensure that the aforementioned crime syndicate actually believes it.

And this all comes to light as Amuro deduces it in front of Yusaku-Disguised-as-Subaru-Who-Is-Akai, but even that was part of Shinichi's plan for getting Amuro to reveal what his true allegiances are while bamboozling Amuro into rethinking his own deductions by setting him up to fail miserably in his attempt to expose Conan and Subaru Okiya as co-conspirators with Conan as the brains behind the plan.

All of this happens while Shinichi is taking this trope straight to eleven by literally sitting in a control room watching and listening to everyone's movements on his monitors.

Akai: "Don't worry. This is all going according to the boy's plan. Ai: "While pursuing the truth and justice without thinking about consequences Such boy-like temperaments of yours are astonishingly intriguing, however I wonder if you realize it That clean scent of yours is strangling her, us, and yourself with loneliness and danger.

After all, I'm the guy who keeps breaking her heart by making her wait an eternity I don't wanna see her cry anymore. Even if it means I no longer have a place in her heart. Seems pretty childish of me, doesn't it? A general point throughout the series is whenever he delivers a scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech to a culprit, no one can blame him.

The criminal in question have done heinous actions for petty reasons. He may have said it too honestly, but Shinichi's assessment of Kogoro's deduction in the beginning weren't wrong. The latter detective's skills aren't great and that's the main reason his business is struggling. While it makes him a hypocrite since he's doing the same thing despite being older, Shinichi often stating how the Detective Boys shouldn't get involved in cases does have merit: They are actual children with no experience while Shinichi is way more skilled despite his young age, either his real one or as "Conan".

Shinichi's initial anger at Haibara is understandable given how she worked for the Organization that put him into his current predicament and it was her drug that caused him to shrink.

A non-canon example in an anime OVA. A middle school Shinichi was right that magic didn't exist in the world but he shouldn't have gotten so angry at Ran for giving her opinion on the said case. He gives a pointed "The Reason You Suck" Speech to his soccer idol, Ray Curtis, on how he has zero excuse for doing illicit drugs and then committing murder to cover it up. While he didn't like it, Shinichi made a point that he couldn't let Genta's father go simply because he was his friend's father, since he could've been the murderer.

He even points this out to Takagi who can't help but agree. He quickly tells the Big Bad in a non-canon movie that "no plan is perfect". And that is certainly true. Jerk with a Heart of Gold : Shinichi is incredibly arrogant, horribly insensitive, and has a "high and mighty" attitude; he also has a strong sense of justice, loves his friend and family deeply Ran especially , and values human life.

Just a Kid : As Conan the adults don't listen to him in cases, but it's justified since he is a kid. Shinichi initially got this treatment in his first detective case by Inspector Megure, after he solved the said case, no one questioned his skills. Kid Detective : He is a year old de-aged down to seven. Since everyone thinks he's seven, he has to find ways of cluing adults in disguised as being a nosy seven-year-old.

Conan even provides the page image! While she is a fairly strong Action Girl , there's an arc involving her as a princess in a School Play that exploits the "princess and knight" symbolism to the hilt with her and him her mutual childhood love interest and The Hero , who is mostly stuck in a child's body as the titular Conan but is temporarily back to his real physical age during said arc.
