For you anime fans, you must be familiar with the genius detective named Conan Edogawa. His real name is Shinichi Kudo. He was involved in a problem with a criminal syndicate called the Black Organization.
Shinichi was then targeted by them until he was forced to drink a poison drug called APTX-4869. That poison caused his body to shrink back to first grade age.
After the incident, Shinichi tried to investigate the organization to return his body to its original state and at the same time uncover the organization's secrets. He also uses a new identity as Conan Edogawa to disguise his actions.
Throughout the story, there are only a handful of people who know about Conan's true identity. Who are they? Check out the full discussion below!
1. Agasa Hiroshi
Professor Agasa is the first person to know that Conan is Shinichi. When he learned this fact, he could not believe it. However, Shinichi was able to convince Professor Agasa through his good deduction skills.
Professor Agasa also gave advice to Shinichi to hide his true identity and use a new identity, namely Conan Edogawa. He also often helps Conan by creating gadgets that are useful for investigations.
2. Ai Hashibara/Shiho Miyano
Shiho Miyano was originally a member of the Black Organization known by the code name Sherry. Due to an incident, she decided to escape from the organization by drinking APTX-4869 poison.
The effects of the poison made her body shrink like Conan's. Fortunately, she was helped by Professor Agasa so she then lived with him. She also uses a new identity as Ai Hashibara.
Ai first learned that Conan is Shinichi when she received news that Shinichi's childhood clothes were missing from his house. This is also supported by the fact that APTX-4869 is able to make a mouse age younger in experiments.
3. Yusako Kudo
Shinichi has a genius father named Yusako Kudo. His father is known as a popular mystery novel writer. He also has great deduction skills and often tests Shinichi.
Yusako and his wife found out about the fact that Conan was Shinichi after they listened to Professor Agata's explanation. They had a hard time believing it at first. However, they also tried their best to protect their son.
4. Yukiko Kudo
Yukiko Kudo is Conan's mother who used to be a famous artist. She is very good at acting. However, she decided to stop her career after she married Yusaku.
As a mother, Yukiko was very worried about her son's shrinking to be like a small child. She also warned her son about the dangers of the criminal organization he is investigating.
5. Heiji Hattori
Heiji Hattori is a young genius detective and considers Shinichi as his arch rival. He always tries to prove that he is more powerful than Shinichi.
Heiji first realized that Conan is Shinichi when the two of them were involved in an investigation into the murder case of a mystery novel writer. He did have a lack of evidence at first, but he was able to force Conan to admit the real facts.
6. Vermouth
Vermouth is one of the high-ranking members of the Black Organization who is very popular with fans. She was able to realize that Conan had many similarities with Shinichi when he was little.
Vermouth also concluded that Conan is Shinichi. However, she does not disclose this information to the organization because he owes a debt of gratitude to Ran and Shinichi in the past. Besides, she doesn't want to reveal her involvement in a mysterious project.
7. Akemi Miyano
Akemi Miyano is Ai's older sister and a member of the Black Organization with a low rank. In addition, she had a very close relationship with Shuichi Akai. She was also one of those who knew Conan's real identity.
Akami was given a mission to raise 1 billion in cash so she and her sister could leave the organization. However, she was later betrayed and shot by Gin. Before Akemi died, Conan had revealed his identity to Akemi.
8. Eisuke Hondou
Eisuke Hondou is a new student in Ran's class. Gradually, it was revealed that he is the younger sister of Hidemi Hondou alias Rena Mizunashi, a CIA agent who infiltrated the Black Organization. When his sister mysteriously disappears, he begins an investigation into the case.
In his investigation, Eisuke even found an interesting fact. He manages to realize that Conan is Shinichi. He also had time to trap and force Conan to admit this fact.
9. Masumi Sera
Masumi Sera is Shinichi's childhood friend. She last met Shinichi ten years ago. Even so, she still remembers Shinichi's face and appearance very well so she can realize that Conan is Shinichi.
That belief was strengthened when she saw the case of the death of tennis player Minerva Glass on TV which showed a scene when Conan claimed that he was a Holmes apprentice. Those words were the same as Shinichi's words ten years ago.
10. Subaru Okiya/Shuichi Akai
Shuichi Akai is a CIA agent who is rumored to have died. He purposely fakes his death and assumes a new identity as Subaru Okiya. After his house burned down, he then lived with Shinichi's family.
When he first met Conan, he already suspected that Conan was Shinichi. However, he has no hard evidence. He was only able to validate this fact after he caught Conan pretending to be Shinichi over the phone.
11. Mary Sera
Despite looking young, Mary Sera was originally already entering middle age. She is the mother of Masumi who works as a member of the British Secret Intelligence Service. Just like her daughter, she first met Conan ten years ago.
Even though it's been a long time, Mary still remembers the look on Shinichi's face. When she and her daughter watched the case of Minerva Glass' death, Mary could immediately guess that Conan's true identity was Shinichi.
12. Kaitou Kid/Kaito Kuroba
In closing, there is Conan's nemesis as well as a skilled thief named Kaitou Kid. He really likes to riot and trouble the police. In addition, he is very cunning and hard to catch.
Kid is often involved in confrontation with Conan. In certain situations, he even likes to provide assistance to Conan. Although it hasn't been explained in more detail, Kid seems to have known Conan's real identity.
