Character Notes: History: Shinichi is the son of a retired actress, Yukiko Kudo, and a world famous author, Yuusaku Kudo. His mother retired after she turned twenty so that she could live the life of a normal Japanese housewife. His father continued to write his best selling series ‘Night Baron and started helping the police force out with certain cases as Yuusaku is a much better Detective then Shinichi.
At an early age Shinichi showed signs of having the potential to become a great detective and usually dragged his friend, Ran Mouri along on many of his adventures. At age seven Shinichi was given a challenge that was meant for him to give up on and give his father but he was far too stubborn to do as the challenger expected. Unknown to the little detective, and still unknown to him to this day, that challenger was none other then the Original Kaitou Kid, Kaitou 1412.
When he was fourteen his parents decided to move to L.A. and Shinichi chose to stay in Japan, probably so he could stay with Ran. From age fourteen to sixteen he lived alone and built up quite the career as a famous high school detective. At age sixteen Ran won the regionals championship in karate and as a reward Shinichi promised to take her to an amusement park known as Tropical Land.
Ah, Tropical Land, the place Conan hates most in the world. There is actually a very good reason for that. While on a date with Ran, sixteen year old Shinichi Kudo came across a case dealing with decapitation and set eyes on two men in black trench coats for the first time. He quickly solved the murder and while walking with Ran noticed one of the men in black from earlier acting suspiciously, thinking nothing of it he bid farewell to Ran and followed after the man.
He tailed the burly man behind a building and witnessed a blackmail transaction, in the manga, he whips out a camera and discretely snaps a few shots. However, Shinichi forgot a very important detail while spying on the suspicious man; there were two.
Before he can react properly, the other man comes up behind him and beat him over the head with a blunt object. Shinichi stumbles and falls forward, unable to move. Instead of shooting him dead like any other thug in black, they force feed him an untested poison and leave him for dead.
However, he does not die! Instead his body has a rare reaction to the poison and instead of programmed cell destruction, as the poison is supposed to do, he shrinks! And it is much less then painless. He body over heats and his chest throbs, he thinks about how his bones feel like they’re melting as they shift and reform to a smaller size. Soon after, he passes out as the pain is too much.
When he comes too, Shinichi realizes that everyone seems much bigger then they should and shortly after discovers that he’d been shrunk. He escapes the concerned police officers and runs to his house. Too bad for him, he can’t reach the door to let himself in. He meets up with his neighbor, and through some fancy deductions only Shinichi could pull off convinces Agasa he’s who he says he is and the two decide to conceal his identity.
Shortly after that, Ran comes looking for Shinichi and discovers the small six year old, who had quickly shoved on a pair of his dad’s old glasses as a make shift disguise. She presses him for a name and he combines names from Edogawa Rampo and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to get ‘Conan Edogawa.’
And thus! Conan is born. Agasa convinces Ran to let Conan live with her and her father as Kogoro is a detective and there is a chance someone will bring in a case dealing with the mysterious men in black.
A part from Agasa, several others know the true identity of the chibi detective. His parents, another high school detective by the name of Heiji Hattori, Kaitou Kid (through some fancy eavesdropping) and an ex member of the organization that shrunk him, Ai Haibara. She’s in the same boat as he is but took the poison willingly.
