Conan's Essential An unofficial "Detective Conan" website Contents Main Story Characters Comic Cartoon Pictures Guestbook Downloads Links Credits Welcome to my Detective Conan website. I've created this site to promote one of my favourites Japanese manga hero. One of my favourite past time, putting aside soccer, is reading detective stories, be it being novels or comics. The Japanese have been very successful in creating highly challenging and interesting detective flicks over the years, and one of the best I've came across is no doubt "Detective Conan". "Detective Conan" is about an elementary school boy named Conan Edogawa. He is a seven-year old Primary One student who solves mysteries and crimes through reasoning and logic and with the help of friends and nifty gadgets. Conan is really a 17-year-old famous high school detective, Shinichi Kudo. While investigating some suspicious activities, Shinichi was knocked over the head by a man (Gin) dressed in black. During his semi-conscious state, an experimental drug was forced down his throat that was meant to kill him. Instead, Shinichi was shrunk into a little kid. In order to prevent the men who did this to him from hurting his friends and family, Shinichi changed his name to Conan (because Conan Doyle is his idol, presumably!) and now lives with his girlfriend, Ran and her dad, Kogoro.   Mailing List Join the Detective Conan Mialing List to get latest updates on this site, and find out when the latest volume of comic is available.
