Shinichi Kudo (Japanese: 工藤 新一, Hepburn: Kudō Shin'ichi), known in some major English adaptations as Jimmy Kudo,[note 2] is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the manga series Case Closed, created by Gosho Aoyama. A high school detective, he is forced to ingest a poison after an encounter with members of a criminal organization. Due to a rare side effect, the poison did not kill him, but instead shrunk his body into that of a child, forcing him to adopt the pseudonym Conan Edogawa (江戸川 コナン, Edogawa Konan). He lives with his childhood friend Ran Mouri and her father as he awaits the day he can take down the organization that poisoned him and reclaim his original identity.
