The detective character that finally ranked first is Edogawa Conan from the series "Detective Conan." Conan, who has a child's body and an adult's mind, is very active in both the manga and anime. The second place is Sherlock Holmes, born in the UK, who can be considered the original famous detective. The third is Furuhata Ninzaburou, played by Masakazu Tamura; the final episode of the live-action drama "Furuhata Ninzaburou" aired in 2006.
Kindaichi Kousuke, the creation of mystery novelist Seishi Yokomizo, ranked fourth. His grandson, Kindaichi Hajime, the protagonist of the manga "Kindaichi Case Files," ranked sixth. The fifth place goes to Yukawa Manabu, a genius physicist from the hit Japanese drama "Detective Galileo."
Rank seven is Sugishita Ukyo, played by Yutaka Mizutani, from the popular Japanese drama "Aibo," which has reached its 11th season. Rank eight is Hercule Poirot, from the works of British mystery queen Agatha Christie. Rank nine is Detective Columbo from the American series "Columbo." Rank ten is the famous detective Akechi Kogorou from Edogawa Ranpo's works; both Edogawa and Kogorou are references for character names in "Detective Conan."
Apart from these ranked characters, others nominated include Chuuzenji Akihiko from "Kyogokudo," Inspector Zenigata from "Lupin III," and Oreki Houtarou from "Classics Club (Hyouka)."
Surprisingly, Grandpa Mouri didn't make it.

Is this Japan's number one? Whoever Holmes goes to, someone dies there, and wherever Conan goes, someone dies there too.
Stop bragging, the votes on that forum~ clearly watched less, seen fewer movies, watched less anime, and just voted randomly.
Take a look at Keigo Higashino's books, any one of them would completely blow away the original poster.
