The manga series Case Closed, known as Meitantei Conan (名探偵コナン, lit. Great Detective Conan, officially translated as Detective Conan) in Japan, features a large number of recurring fictional characters created by Gosho Aoyama. The series takes place in modern-day Japan and follows an amateur detective Jimmy Kudo (Japanese name: Shinichi Kudo) who solves cases in an episodic fashion while in his childhood body and under the alias Conan Edogawa. He is joined by childhood friend Rachel Moore (Ran Mori) and her father Richard Moore (Kogoro Mori), who runs a detective agency. Throughout the series, Conan interacts and befriends many characters from various groups: the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, the local police in Conan's prefecture; The Junior Detective League, a group of children who solves mysteries for their clients and the FBI. He also befriends a few individuals who know of his true identity: Dr. Agasa, who provides Jimmy with various spy gadgets; Harley Hartwell (Heiji Hattori), a high school detective from Osaka; and Anita Hailey (Ai Haibara), the original developer of the poison who had also transformed into a child.

The manga is licensed by Viz Media while the anime adaptation was first licensed and dubbed by Funimation, then later dubbed the Macias Group and released on Tubi. Funimation and Viz have Americanized many character names, with both companies using different names or spellings for the same characters on several occasions. Other English releases such as the manga published in Singapore by Shogakukan Asia, the anime streaming on Tubi, and the home videos dubbed by Bang Zoom! Entertainment and released through Discotek Media romanize the Japanese names.^[1][2]

The list follows the names as presented by the Viz Media manga.

Rachel Moore, known as Ran Mori (毛利 蘭, Mōri Ran) in Japan, has been Jimmy Kudo's friend since elementary school. She adores Jimmy but is afraid to admit it, and whenever the subject of their relationship is brought up, she denies it is romantic. Rachel frequently worries about his safety and anticipates his return. As captain of the karate team and a regional champion, she is an accomplished fighter but remains fearful of horror films. ^{Ch. 1} Rachel's parents are also skilled martial artists. She is very kind and willing to assist anyone in need, even if the individual is a potential criminal. In one instance, her compassion motivates Vermouth to keep Jimmy's identity hidden from the Black Organization. As with Jimmy, she opposes the idea of killing anyone, including criminals, believing that criminals should face trial. She is regarded as a role model by the Junior Detective League, and the children frequently seek her advice. She is adept at household chores such as sewing, knitting, and cooking, and has a knack for chance games, rarely losing in games such as mahjong. She spends the majority of her time at home caring for Conan and her father. Her parents live apart, and she is hoping that they will reconcile. She has suspected Conan Edogawa of being Jimmy throughout the series. Nonetheless, Jimmy dupes her into second-guessing herself.^{Vol. 3}, ^{Ch. 258} Her name, Ran Mori, originates from Maurice Leblanc (Mo-ri-su Ru-bu-ran), the creator of Arsene Lupin.^{Vol. 4 author's notes} Aoyama said he wanted to draw a girl who was strong in every way.^{Vol. 83 bonus profiles}

Richard Moore, known as Kogoro Mori (毛利 小五郎, Mōri Kogorō) in Japan, is Rachel's father and a private detective. Richard gains fame due to Conan frequently sedating him and impersonating his voice to solve cases. He and Conan share a certain amount of rivalry. At times, Richard is egocentric, claiming credit for cracking cases that Conan had already solved during their time together. Because he appears to be tired or sleeping when solving a case, he is often referred to as "Sleeping Moore" (眠りの小五郎, Nemuri no Kogorō, lit. "Sleeping Kogoro").^{Ch. 119} Before becoming a private detective, he worked as a police officer under Inspector Meguire.^{Ch. 7} He is married to Eva Kaden, a successful lawyer and childhood friend, but they have been separated for over ten years due to their constant arguing.^{Ch. 107} He reveals that on many occasions, he still loves her and has attempted to reconcile their relationship.^{Ch. 266} Despite his irresponsible habits of drinking, gambling, and flirting with young women, he cares deeply for his daughter and at times displays his sense of honor and strict ethics. He is skilled in Judo.^{Ch. 86} His name, Kogoro Mori, originates from Kogoro Akechi, the detective in Edogawa Rampo's stories.^{Vol. 2 author's notes} Aoyama said he originally drew him as a thinner version of Captain Nakamori, but changed his hair style and mustache and made him taller. He also liked that with him being a former police detective, it would be easy to set up stories.^{Vol. 83 bonus profiles}

Dr. Agasa often chaperones the kids and assists them when a case needs to be solved. As a symbol of the group, each member has a badge used as a walkie-talkie and a tracer.^{Ch. 56} In an interview with Shonen Sunday in 2013, Aoyama said that he created the group "as a way to conceal Anita. The big tough guy, the thin brawny guy, and the cute little girl." and they were like the kids in Doraemon but with completely different personalities.^{Vol. 83 bonus profiles}

When she was 18, she escaped the organization and went into hiding.^{Ch. 458} She is taken in by Dr. Agasa and is given the alias Anita Hailey, known as Ai Haibara (灰原 哀, Haibara Ai) in Japan and dubbed Vi Graythorn by Funimation.^[13] Her alias is derived from the detective characters Cordelia Gray and V.I. Warshawski;^{Ch. 179} "Hai" can mean "gray" in Japanese, and "Ai" is pronounced the same as the English letter "I"; however, in one of the interviews, Gosho Aoyama confirmed her name was a reference to Irene Adler from Sherlock Holmes. She shows affection towards Jimmy, but denies having such feelings.^{Ch. 191} Despite being constantly in the company of the Junior Detective League and Rachel Moore, she was very reserved and only opened up a little more to Rachel and Amy after some time; she later lets Amy call her "Anita-chan" instead of the more formal honorific "Anita-san".^{Ch. 400} She often helps Conan solve cases and find information on the Black Organization to help bring them down in addition to working on the cure to their condition. She has strawberry blonde hair.^{Ch. 238} She grew up in the United States,^{Ch. 303} is half-Japanese^{Ch. 398} and half-English.^{Ch. 411}, ^{Vol. 49}

He had also delayed Anita's introduction in the manga as the plot line in the anime did not have Akemi die, eventually introducing Anita in volume 18.^{Vol. 83 bonus profiles}

He often watches over the Junior Detective League and takes them on trips in his old VW Beetle.^{Ch. 111} After finding Shiho Miyano on the streets, he takes her into his care and gives her the alias Anita Hailey to hide her from the Black Organization.^{Ch. 179}

Harley and Kazuha's fathers are close friends.

She is also a skilled 2nd-degree blackbelt in Aikido.^{Ch. 188}

He gave Gin specific gun and auto preferences to make him look cooler, and describes Gin as a "basic, chilly, hard-boiled assassin".^{Vol 83 bonus profiles}

Sharon wanted to bring down the Black Organization, yet she could not find a good measure. After finding Kudo, she hoped that Kudo would be "the silver bullet" that could destroy the Order.
