Detective Conan in Arabic is called المحقق كونان Al-Muhaqiq Konan which literally means Detective Konan. Sometimes, it is referred as المفتش كونان Al-Mufatish Konan which means Inspector Konan.

Most of the characters keep their main names, but some characters with names with four syllables is often reduced to two syllables (i.e. Mitsuhiko is called ميتسو Mitso). Most of characters only have a given name and not a family name or vice versa. Most of the normal people have kept their Japanese names as well, but some are changed because they sound similat to another character.(i.e Yuuko from Episode 3 was renamed شوكو Shuko because it sounded similar to Yoko Okino name.)All of the TV specials are always divided into two or four parts and only the first film has been dubbed. The Detective Conan series became very popular in the Arab world and became one of the best ranked animes of all time. Currently the anime is up to Episode 338.

The First Logo

Intro & Ending

The Intro from Season 1 to 4 was a different tune to the Original tune. Then to Season 5 to the Current Season A remix of the previous tune with the same lyrics was used. Both the endings were simply the tune instrumental. The First four seasons used a logo which is simply the Detective Conan in Arabic in red on a circle. The Current logo (Season 5 Onwards) Is very similar except the circle is different.
