SUMMARY
The Story
Shinichi Kudo is a high school student who, by using observation and deduction, is good at solving mysteries. While investigating one, he is caught by the criminals who are always in black clothes (MIB ?) and forced to take an experimental drug, which had never before been tested on humans. Thinking that he is dead, the criminals disappear. Instead of killing him, however, the drug turns Shinichi into a little kid.
Shinichi's parents spend most of their time abroad and have no idea of what has happened to him. The only one Shinichi can turn to is his neighbour, Professor Agasa. After much convincing, Shinichi gains the Professor's trust and together the embark on the mission to expose the underground organization and find an antidote to the poison he was fed.
To preserve the illusion of his 'disappearance', Shinichi adopts a new name based on his favorite author (Arthur Conan Doyle and Edogawa Ranpo) and becomes Conan Edogawa. Ran Mouri, his (actually Shinichi's) girlfriend takes this little boy under her wing and brings him to her home. Conan now lives at a detective agency run by Kogoro Mouri, Ran's father, but his mind is as keen as ever and he continues to solve mysteries, always allowing Ran's father to take all the credit.
As far as everyone's concerned, Conan is just a little kid anyway, even to Ran. This is extremely frustrating to Conan since nobody will listen to a 'little boy'. In spite of this, Conan has a mission, to find the criminals who did this to him and get the antidote to that drug. This is, first and foremost, a mystery series. This is only the beginning...
The part in the story when Shinichi becomes Conan
Shinichi went to an amusement park with Ran. After solving a murder case at the park, he followed two suspicious men in black. He witnessed a criminal transaction by one of them (Vodka). When trying to gather more evidence, he was strike down by Gin, and given an untested drug in order to kill him. The drug failed to kill, but contracted him instead. Fearing the worst, he went to his neighbour, Professor Agasa's house for help.
"If they know the truth which Shinichi Kudou is still alive, they might do harm to person around you!" Agasa advised.
At the same time, Ran, worried of Shinchi's safety, came to Agasa's house to look for him. She found this little boy trying to hide himself. When Ran asked his name, he retreated to a bookshelf with detective stories by Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes's author) and Edogawa Ranpo (famous Japanese writer). "Conan, my name is Edogawa Conan!" There it goes!
Some of Conan's Tools...
1. Voice Changing Bowtie
Allows Conan to change his voice to anybody's. Extremely useful he needs to impersonate Kogoro, or anybody else, when solving cases.
2. Stungun Wristwatch
The primary tool for Conan to put his "detective target" to sleep. This causes the "victim" (often Kogoro) to go into a state of unconciousness, and allows Conan then to use the bowtie to imitate the victim's voice to solve cases.
3. Power Shoes
For emergency use only! When lives are threatened, a touch on the button of the shoes will allow Conan to kick up to many times stronger. Conan has used it to stop many killers killing again.
