''Case Closed'' follows the adventures of [[Jimmy Kudo]], a young [[detective]] inadvertently turned into a prepubescent boy by a secret criminal organization when they force him to take a drug that is supposed to kill him, but backfires. ''Case Closed'' is adapted into an anime series by the animation studio [[Tokyo Movie Shinsha]], directed by [[Kenji Kodama]] and [[Yasuichiro Yamamoto]], and airs in Japan on [[Nippon Television]], [[Yomiuri TV]] and [[Animax]]. The first episode aired on [[January 8]] [[1996]], with 504 episodes as of [[May 19]] [[2008]]. The series has seen high levels of popularity in both manga and anime formats in Japan since its reception, and has also been adapted into 12 [[Golden Week (Japan)|Golden Week]] movies, with the first released on [[April 17]] [[1997]], and one movie released each year since. Ten of the movies held a top 10 box office position in the year they were screened. In addition, seven [[Original video animation|OVAs]] have been released. ==Plot== {{seealso|List of Case Closed characters}} 17-year-old high school student [[Jimmy Kudo]], while investigating a [[blackmail]] case, is attacked by two members of the [[Black Organization (Case Closed)|Black Organization]] and forced to take a [[APTX 4869|newly-developed drug]] that is supposed to kill him. However, due to a rare and generally unknown side effect, the drug doesn't kill him, but transforms his body into that of an eight-year-old grade schooler. In order to hide his identity and investigate the whereabouts of the Black Organization, he adopts the [[pseudonym]] [[Conan Edogawa]], moves in with his childhood friend and crush [[Rachel Moore]], and enrolls in elementary school. He continues investigating criminal cases with Rachel and her inept [[private investigator]] father, Richard Moore. Jimmy also performs investigations through the {{Nihongo|Junior Detective League|少年探偵団|Shōnen Tantei-dan}}, a group he forms with his friends at the elementary school. As the series progresses, so does the relationship between Jimmy and Rachel. Later in the series, his investigation into the Black Organization catches him in the crossfire between the members of the Black Organization and the [[FBI]] and [[CIA]] agents that were sent to investigate the Black Organization. ==Media== ===Manga=== {{Expand|date=July 2008}} {{Main|List of Case Closed chapters}} The manga was first serialized in the fifth issue ''[[Shōnen Sunday]]'' in 1994. Since then, it has spanned 61 volumes, and continuing.

[[Viz Media]] publishes ''Detective Conan'' manga in [[English language|English]] as ''Case Closed'' for American audiences. The comic uses the original right-to-left format and the English anime names for the main characters while it uses the original Japanese names for the minor characters. Many references to other detective literature can also be found for fans of detective novels, and also includes a Detective Encyclopedia, where many characters of detective, mystery, and crime literature and film are profiled. In America, currently, there are twenty-four books. ===Anime=== {{main|List of Case Closed episodes}} The anime version is produced by [[Tokyo Movie Shinsha]] and has currently aired 504 television episodes (as of [[May 19]], [[2008]]) and twelve movies (as of [[April 19]], [[2008]]) in Japan, and is still running on Japanese television today. It airs Mondays at 7:30 p.m. on [[Yomiuri TV]] [[Nippon TV]], considered the prime slot for anime<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-10-09/yatterman-remake-to-take-kekkaishi's-golden-timeslot|accessdate=2008-06-10|publisher=Anime News Network|date=2007-10-09|title=Yatterman Remake to Take Kekkaishi's 'Golden' Timeslot}}</ref>, and is also broadcast in Japan by the anime [[satellite television|CS]] network, [[Animax]], who have also aired the series across its networks in [[Southeast Asia]] and [[East Asia]]. In [[July 2003]], [[FUNimation]] announced that they licensed ''Detective Conan'' for a release in [[North America]], to be released as "''Case Closed''" due to legal issues concerning the name Conan (''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'', although Conan can be considered a regular name as in [[Conan O'Brien]]). In the [[United Kingdom]] VIZ's releases are published by [[Gollancz Manga]] with the same naming conventions. Because of the long Japanese tv seasons, the show has also been able to air 500 episodes as well<ref>[http://www.tv.com/detective-conan/show/18537/episode.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=tabssh&tag=tabs;episodes Detective Conan Episode Guide - Detective Conan Season Episodes - TV.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. As of August 2007, ''Detective Conan'' is airing on [[Yomiuri TV]] (producing TV station), NNS TV stations, and TV Miyazaki on Mondays at 7:30 p.m., after ''[[Kekkaishi]]'', which is also from the same comic group. While its ratings have declined over the years, it is still one of the highest rated anime on Japanese television.{{Fact|date=August 2007}} [[Cartoon Network]] began broadcasting ''Case Closed'' as part of their [[Adult Swim]] programming block on [[May 24]], [[2004]]. Although a family series in Japan, the mature content of the crimes portrayed prevented it from gaining prime time exposure to its proper audience. Only 50 episodes aired in the United States, and in January 2005, Adult Swim announced that it would not purchase additional episodes due to low ratings. They gave back the rights to the series later that year, and it has now debuted on a syndicated [[FUNimation Channel]] programming block airing on [[CoLours TV]] on [[June 19]], [[2006]]. However, episodes are still being released on DVD. Funimation claims that they will continue dubbing episodes into English. Up to only 80 episodes (83 by English numbering) have been released, with no additional episodes purchased. Funimation has recently announced a new Season Box Set for Case Closed to be in stores on July 22, 2008, and that future releases will most likely be in this manner, due to the exceeding length of this show. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.caseclosed.com/ |title= "Case Closed.com"|accessdate=2008-05-02|publisher=Funimation}}</ref> <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aaaanime.com/item/DVDs/FN07793.html |title= "AAA Case Closed"|accessdate=2008-05-02|publisher= AAA Anime Inc.

The cartoon became an instant hit among kids and even beyond the targeted audience. The series became the highest rated cartoon for 4 consecutive years and still one of the most watched cartoon in new seasons or reruns which went later on different other Arabic TV networks. FUNimation's English dub of ''Case Closed'' made its Canadian television debut on [[YTV (TV channel)|YTV]]'s [[Bionix]] programming block on [[April 7]] [[2006]] at 10:30 p.m. Beginning on [[June 2]], [[2006]], ''Case Closed'' was still part of the Bionix block, but it had been airing at a later timeslot of 12:00 a.m. The reason for this, however, is likely not so much because of low ratings (as was the case on Adult Swim), but because the station needed to meet their annual [[Canadian Content]] quota by airing a certain amount of Canadian programming before 12 a.m., effectively leaving the series out of the main line-up. After broadcasting 21 episodes, YTV has since stopped airing ''Case Closed'', with its final broadcast at 12:00 a.m. on [[September 2]] [[2006]]. The series was also later dubbed and translated into [[English language|English]] by the anime television network [[Animax]] for broadcast across its English-language networks in [[Southeast Asia]] (including [[Singapore]], [[Malaysia]], [[Thailand]], [[Indonesia]], [[Vietnam]], the [[Philippines]] and several other countries in the region)<ref name="animax">{{citeweb|url=http://www.animax-asia.com/synopsis/default.asp?pid=39|title=DETECTIVE CONAN - Animax East Asia|accessdate=2007-02-22}}</ref><ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=454|title=Case Closed (TV) - Anime News Network|accessdate=2007-02-22}}</ref>, with Animax's unedited dub staying true to the original, retaining the original name ''Detective Conan'' as well as the original dialogue and each of the character's original Japanese names.<ref name="animax"/> Animax, whose founders include the studio behind the production of the anime series, [[Tokyo Movie Shinsha|TMS]] (along with other studios such as [[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]], [[Toei Animation|Toei]] and [[Nihon Ad Systems|NAS]]) has also aired the series in its original network in Japan (in [[Japanese language|Japanese]]), as well as its other networks worldwide, including [[Hong Kong]] and [[Taiwan]] (where it was aired in [[Chinese language|Chinese]]). ===TV drama=== The latest series in the franchise is a live-action TV drama, which premièred in [[Japan]] on [[Nippon Television]] on [[October 2]], [[2006]].
