Conankun's Storyline

Conan Edogawa, first grader, is actually Kudo Shinichi, eleventh-grader and High School Detective, also known as the savior of the Japanese police and the Holmes of the '90's. Shinichi is unmatched in his deducting skills and soccer skills. One fateful night, he took his (girl) friend Ran, and childhood (crush?) friend to Tropical Land, an amusement park in Beika. After solving a murder case that happened there, he saw a mysterious character running away from the crowd, clad in black. Suspicious of the man's actions, he left Ran and shadowed the man to investigate. Later, he discovers that the suitcase the man is holding is used for illegal purposes! Before he can contact the police and Inspector Jyuzo Megure, he was knocked unconcious by another member of this so-called secret organization. In his half-concious state, he hears the phrase, " We will feed him this drug, APTX 4869. It has not been tested with humans...yet. " He is later forced to take down the drug, and a while later...he awakes to find police bending over him. He immediately tries to tell him what he has seen. Instead of listening to the detective, they just say, " Are you OK, little boy?"

A shock of realization hits him as he runs away and looks at himself in the mirror. He has shrunk into a seven-year-old! He can't believe it. No drug like this has been created yet. He then runs back to his bungalow in Beika Street, only to find he can't even open the door - ( poor Shinichi ) since he can't reach the handle. Later, he hears an explosion next door and seeks help from his neighbour, Agasa. Agasa doesn't believe he is Shinichi ( of course, who would? )even though Shinichi tells him the secret only he knows - that Agasa has a mole on his butt.

Agasa claims Shinichi's a traitor for telling his secret to a little kid, and attempts to kick out poor Shinichi. In a desperate attempt ( and the last ) Shinichi uses his amazing deducting skills. According to him, Agasa has gone running in the rain, shielding himself, and was running from Colombo restaurant. This is because Colombo's special meat sauce is stuck in his beard.

Agasa looks at Shinichi in disbelief, and says, "Are you really..."

" Heh, its elementary, my dear Watson," Shinichi says mockingly, wagging his finger. An image of Shinichi overlaps the kid, and Agasa finishes with a sigh," ...Shinichi Kudo?"

Shinichi gets dressed in his old clothes from ten years ago, and Agasa suddenly grabs him by the shoulders. " You must NOT tell anyone about this drug, Shinichi, you hear me? Not even Ran! The secret organization might find you and kill all those related to you!" Shinichi sighs.

Talk about Ran. Right after Agasa gives this simple lecture, Ran appears at the door. Shinichi and Agasa go aghast. " What should we do? What should we do?" they say in hysterics, running about the place. Then, Shinichi hides under the desk, and finds a pair of his Dad's old glasses and puts it on. Ran asks Agasa where is Shinichi. Agasa replies by saying he hasn't seen him. Ran notices Shinichi squirming under the desk in fear, and suddenly peeks from above the table. "

" Ah..." she begins in surprise. " Er, w-what?" Shinichi stammers. Without a response, she gives him a hug, and says, " What a cute little boy!" Shinichi and Agasa sigh in relief. Shinichi blushes, and thinks " How comfortable to be hugged by Ran!" ( My god, what a pervert ) Ran then lets go of Shinichi and asks him,"What is your name, little boy?" Shinichi begins, " Shin- er no, um, uh, um..." Shinichi's eyes then slip to the shelf, where he sees two books entitled, " Conan Doyle's Best Masterpieces" and "Rampo Edogawa's Works". He then fixes the two names together, and without realizing it, he stammers " Conan! Conan Edogawa!"

Later, Agasa makes conversation with Ran, pretending Conan's parents are in hospital - which is untrue, they're overseas in America or somewhat - so Ran takes him back. Conan is reluctant to join the family of the drunkard, Kogoro, but Agasa insists because Kogoro's a detective, he could probably find a case involved with the secret organization. Shinichi wants to tell Ran about his real identity, but in order to protect her, he can't.

He then begins school again in Teitan Elementary school, and joins the Detective Boys club ( against his will, of course ) and meets Genta Kojima, Ayumi Yoshida and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, all of which are useless as detectives, but they sometimes help Conan-kun to solve cases. Sooner or later, Shinichi meets fellow APTX 4869 creator, which also shrunk into a kid, Haibara Ai alias Shiho Miyano. She was an ex-member of the secret organization, AND the creator of that deadly drug, but because they killed her sister, she turned against them and stopped the research of APTX 4869. Believing she was a traitor, they locked her in a dark room, and handcuffed her as a prisoner. Feeling there wasn't any use to live anymore, she tried to commit suicide by taking APTX 4869, which she believed will put a stopper to her life. Instead, she, like Conan, shrunk into a kid, and managed to escape by slipping through the handcuffs. She seems to like Conan, and she shows a certain dislike for Ran, especially when she looks at Conan as though he is Shinichi. I am a total Shinichi x Shiho fan, so sorry for all those Ran x Shinichi fans out there.

Conan also meets Heiji Hatsutori ( aka Hattori, since "su" is normally not mentioned in names )from Osaka, the detective of the West. He first appears in Manga 10, seeking Shinichi for a challenge. Conan turns back into Shinichi by drinking vodka, and defeats Hattori. Hattori learns that there is only one truth, and winning or losing doesn't matter. He begins suspecting Conan's identity in Manga 12, and finds out in Manga 13 because Conan couldn't copy Heiji's Kansai dialect. The two then become fast friends, and they often solve cases together, and of course, being the two high school detectives they are, they usually find clues at the same time. Hattori looks EXACTLY like Shinichi, but he's tanned...aww. If not, they could be twins, right?

That's enough spoilers. If you want to know the story, you guys ( and girls ) better buy the mangas and VCD's yourself!
