Leading our list is Shinichi Kudo, the main character of the legendary anime Detective Conan, also known as the true identity of Conan Edogawa by artist Gosho Aoyama. A high school detective forced to ingest a deadly poison called APTX-4869 while investigating a mysterious deal of the Black Organization, fortunately the toxin was still in the experimental phase and only managed to shrink him into a six-year-old boy. He adopts the name Conan Edogawa to avoid detection by the Black Organization and stays with the Mori family with the hope of uncovering the truth about the Black Organization and restoring his original form.

Both Shinichi and Conan are portrayed as handsome under the pen of writer Gosho Aoyama. With a confident and intelligent demeanor, Shinichi Kudo is the dream man of many fans of the series.

Despite instilling fear in the wealthy and the police, he is still beloved by viewers for his heroic nature, charm, and loyalty to justice.

The one Kaitou Kid clashes with the most is the Great Detective Conan. Conan is an incredibly talented young detective, always confident in his abilities, yet he cannot deny that Kaitou Kid is also a genius mind and a skilled thief.

Knowing the truth, Dr. Agasa helps Shinichi develop a new identity as Conan Edogawa and creates some gadgets to assist the young Conan in solving cases.

Dr. Agasa is an irreplaceable friend of Shinichi and the Junior Detective League. He is the best friend, a caring father figure for the kids. Uncle Agasa loves Conan like a father, his closest companion. Moreover, he is a kind uncle, always treating everyone kindly, even newcomers like Haibara Ai.
