List of Case Closed characters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The manga series Case Closed, known as Meitantei Conan (名探偵コナン, lit. Great Detective Conan, officially translated as Detective Conan) in Japan, features a large number of recurring fictional characters created by Gosho Aoyama. The series takes place in modern-day Japan and follows an amateur detective Jimmy Kudo (Japanese name: Shinichi Kudo) who 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 (Ran Mori) and her father Richard Moore (Kogoro Mori), 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 solves 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 (Heiji Hattori), a high school detective from Osaka; and Anita Hailey (Ai Haibara), the original developer of the poison who had also transformed into a child.
The manga is licensed by Viz Media while the anime adaptation was first licensed and dubbed by Funimation, then later dubbed the Macias Group and released on Tubi. 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, and the home videos dubbed by Bang Zoom! Entertainment and released through Discotek Media romanize the Japanese names.[1][2]
