Reference excerpt

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 with 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.

Main characters

Jimmy Kudo

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

Voiced by: Wakana Yamazaki (1996–2026), Akemi Okamura (2026–present) (Japanese); Colleen Clinkenbeard (Funimation), Cristina Vee (Bang Zoom/Macias Group), Megan Shipman (Studio Nano) (English) Portrayed by: Tomoka Kurokawa, Shiori Kutsuna 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]

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of Case Closed characters

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of Case Closed characters claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of Case Closed characters before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of Case Closed characters ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of Case Closed characters

In research: List of Case Closed characters appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of Case Closed characters in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of Case Closed characters is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Case Closed characters, Lists of anime and manga characters, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
