Synopsis
Shinichi Kudou is a high school detective renowned for cracking numerous difficult cases. While tailing two shady men he spots one day, he accidentally stumbles upon a disturbing crime. Caught in the act, the men force him to ingest an experimental drug from their criminal syndicate, leaving him for dead. To his shock, Shinichi survives, but his body has shrunk to that of a seven-year-old child. Retaining his sharp mind, he conceals his true identity from everyone, including his childhood friend Ran Mouri and her father, private eye Kogorou Mouri. He adopts the alias Conan Edogawa, a name derived from mystery writers Arthur Conan Doyle and Ranpo Edogawa. As Conan, Shinichi secretly solves Kogorou's cases from the shadows using his exceptional detective abilities, all while covertly investigating the organization that caused his transformation, hoping to one day reverse the drug's effects.
