** Not just Mōri, but all of [[Creator/AkiraKamiya Akirya Kamiya's]] roles, from Anime/{{Kinnikuman}} to Anime/KoiketsuZorori. And while Creator/RikiyaKoyama ''can'' play subdued roles (excluding some like Death from Manga/SoulEater), when [[TheOtherDarrin he takes over as Kogorō]] he can be as hammy as Kamiya in the role.

Shinichi's childhood friend and love-interest. When Shinichi shrinks and takes on the name Edogawa Conan, she takes on the big sister role and looks out for Conan like if he was any other little kid. Ran also wishes for her parents to get back together and tries but fails time and time again at forcing a set-up between the two.

She also happens to be well-trained in karate at the expense of anyone trying to take advantage of her.

[[ThemeNaming Mandatory name note]]: The entire name came from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Leblanc Maurice Leblanc]], creator of Literature/ArseneLupin, through the Japanese reading ''Moori''tsu Rubu''ran''.

* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: Ran attempted to confess to Shinichi in the aftermath of the Furinkazan murder mystery. She calls him up and is about to confess but is to embarrassed to admit it.
* TheAce: Ran is a karate champion, an excellent cook, gets good grades, popular with the opposite sex, and is a well liked person.
* ActionGirlfriend: {{Subverted|Trope}}. She is Shinichi's LoveInterest but he's stuck as Conan and therefore, whenever she goes MamaBear on anyone that threatens him, she doesn't know she's actually defending her "not"-boyfriend.
* AffectionateNickname: "Angel" by Vermouth due to saving the latter's life in New York.
* AgeLift: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The difference isn't too extreme but still noticeable. In the manga, Ran is 16; in the anime, Ran's age is increased by a year.
* AllLovingHeroine: Ran is a '''genuinely''' NiceGirl, who has enough compassion for murderers (well, some), and will never hesitate to save someone's life. Criminal or not.
* AlmostKiss: In canon, when she and Shinich almost kiss during the theatre play; she does score a kiss in the non-Canonical Movies. In the current chapters, [[spoiler:she does give him a kiss on the cheek]].
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Ran gives one to Shinichi in the eigth non-canon movie, "The Magician of the Silver Sky", as she [[WhatTheHellHero chews him out]] on how confident he is about how he will protect and guide her through landing the plane but is never physically there for her except as a phone call. And after a few rough moments from the plane, she confesses her love to him. However, while Shinichi (as Conan) does hear her confession, she thinks that she was talking to Kaito Kid, and refuses to reveal what she said to the former when he asks.
-->'''Ran:''' What is this? You're acting all confident...Do you even know? That the lives of all the passengers are in my hands?! Don't act so confident about it! When I really need you, you're never here...All I get is a phone call! Even when you finally make it back, you're gone again in the next instant...Every time...Every single time. You're always leave me behind, all alone... What do you take me for?! I...I love you...Shinichi.
* AnimalMotifs: Haibara states Ran would be similar to a dolphin. A description that matches Ran perfectly due to her approachable nature, cuteness, and loyalty.
* AnimeHair: Ran's most distinctive feature is a large lock of hair many fans refer to as her "horn". Several pieces of fan-art have rendered her near-unrecognizable by forgoing it. And of course, it keeps [[CheatedAngle magically changing sides]] depending on which direction she's facing. Taken to new levels in ''The Culprit Hanzawa'' where it's almost twice as big and instead sticks straight upwards from the top of her head like an antenna, earning her the nickname "Unicorn Girl" from Hanzawa.
* BadassAdorable: Adorable all the time and can always kick ass.
* BadassInDistress: More in {{The Movie}}s. In ''Captured in Her Eyes'', [[spoiler:after spending almost the while movie as a quiet [[TheOphelia Ophelia]] afflicted TraumaInducedAmnesia, as soon as she recovered her memories she beat the ''shit'' out of the BigBad, who caused it by shooting Sato almost to death in front of her.]]
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Ran in some of the OP and ED animations-shown nude either in full body (without anything showing), or implied by showing a close-up with bare shoulders. Presumably intended to imply Ran's [[{{Woobie}} vulnerability]] from being kept apart from Shinichi for so long.
* BareFistedMonk: She's skilled in Karate, and can beat down larger people easily.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Her friendship with Shinichi began after he defended her from bullies when they were children.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Shinichi. They tend to argue from time-to-time, but they have romantic feelings for one another.
* BerserkButton: Ran gets quite peeved when she thinks that Shinichi may be committing infidelity (even though they're not in a relationship [[spoiler:prior to 1005]]).
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Ran is one of the kindest, bravest, and selfless characters in the WHOLE franchise. You ''don't'' want to make her use her karate skills on you.
* TheBigDamnKiss: [[spoiler:At the end of chapter 1004, Ran gives Shinichi a kiss on his cheek as an answer to his love confession. In public.]]
* BigSisterInstinct: Don't try to kill Conan with her in the vicinity.

** Despite outwardly different personalities, she and Shinichi share many traits -- Both [[AllLovingHero have a deep respect for life]], [[ChronicHeroSyndrome a penchant for rushing to help someone in need]], are the [[TheAce the aces in their respective field(s)]], [[NervesOfSteel remain calm in dangerous situations]], and [[UndyingLoyalty have a deep loyalty to their friends and family.]] The two of them are also incredibly stubborn in their ways, have a strong sense of justice, play a sport they enjoy (Ran – karate, Shinichi – soccer), play an instrument (Ran – piano, Shinichi – violin). On an amusing note, both have {{Improbable Hairstyle}}s (see individual sections for explanation) and a family situation of some kind (Ran's parents are separated and Shinichi's parents moved to Los Angeles when he was 14). Also, both also have a number of admirers of the opposite sex.
** With Kazuha -- Practitioners of a martial art (karate for Ran, aikido for Kazuha), afraid of the supernatural, [[FriendToAllChildren love of children]], are {{Dude Magnet}}s but [[SingleTargetSexuality only have eyes for]] [[ChildhoodFriendRomance their childhood best friend]]. And even though they can be exasperated by their love interest's detective work and occasional jerkish side, both think that whenever their "not" boyfriends solving cases look cool when doing so and [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan admire them for their better qualities as well]]. Also, both of their fathers are connected to some kind of detective/police work.
* BoobBasedGag: Her large breasts are the subject of visual gags, usually involving her accidentally subjecting Shinichi to MarshmallowHell or FunbagAirbag moments.
* BornLucky: Ran has ''absurdly'' good fortunes playing luck-based games like Poker or Mahjong. First seen when she goes into a mahjong parlor where her father Kogoro is gambling, very upset because he took Conan with him... then she gets interested in the game itself... and in the next scene she has fleeced her dad ''and his companions'' out of all their "prizes". (And then the owner of said parlor, who doubled as a loan shark, appears dead...) Another case started with her aiming to win the ''second'' prize in a raffle, which was a family trip to the beach. Conan was all "I don't think you'll win"... Cue to the next panel, with Ran happily telling Kogoro about the trip she won and a terrified-looking Conan next to her.
* BrokenPedestal: With assistance from Shinichi/Conan, Ran exposes the murder culprit in the "Ski Lodge Murder" case is her former elementary school teacher, Akiko Yonehara; this also meant that her teacher was also the one who attempted to strangle Sonoko. At the end of the deduction, she cries while hugging Conan in despair.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: Shinichi can't help but be attracted to her buxom figure, especially when she subjects him to MarshmallowHell when she hugs him in his child form.
* CannotSpitItOut: Even though Ran is in love with Shinichi, she has repeatedly failed to convey her feelings because she suddenly becomes self-conscious.
* CharacterDevelopment: In earlier stories, she would become violently suspicious if she thought Shinichi was philandering, although more recently his confessions (in the "Holmes' Revelation" Arc) have led her to trust his intentions.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Early-manga Ran is noticeably more HotBlooded and petty than her later AllLovingHero characterization; in the "Art Museum Murder Case", Conan/Shinichi implies she ''regularly'' busts out karate moves on furniture when she doesn't get her way.
** Speaking of - "The Art Museum Murder Case" has her going out of her way to pursue rumors of a haunted suit of armor. Exactly one volume later, she's so terrified of ghosts and monsters that she instantly freezes on seeing the mountain-villa mummy.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Through nothing but the karate practice she leads at school while otherwise leading a normal girl's life, Ran Mouri can take out a small army of hired thugs and knock out armed criminals. She can apparently [[DodgeTheBullet even do the bullet thing,]] at least in one of the movies. [[MST3Kmantra Don't think about it too hard.]] It could also be a slight case of ItRunsInTheFamily. At least homeschooling has been mentioned, and both Kogoro and Eri know their Judo pretty well.
* ChefOfIron: Frequently noted to be an amazing cook and is a karate champion.
* {{Chickification}}: Invoked in the Tori Man Mugging case. She begins to stop fighting criminals she encountered because of a love fortune that advised her to avoid "unfeminine" activities. Deconstructed in the same case because her new-found meekness caused far more problems for the case than it could have been otherwise. [[spoiler:Subverted in the very end when the criminal reads her true fortune (that was swapped out by Sonoko) to advise Ran to just BeYourself, because a guy will detect if she is being someone else, and her feelings will be answered. She then proceeds to soundly kick the criminal's ass]].
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Shinichi. They've known each other since pre-school and are each other's canonical love interest.
* ChildhoodFriends: Ran has known both Shinichi and Sonoko since they were four. [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Her relationship with the former grew beyond friendship]].
* ChildrenRaiseYou: For Kogoro, her ManChild father. She acts more like his mother or wife than his daughter.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Ties in nicely with her NiceGirl personality and [[AllLovingHero All Loving Heroine]] philosophy.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Ran is a very sweet and kind NiceGirl who borders on AllLovingHeroine... unless she's given a reason to be jealous of a girl getting close to Shinichi. Then she gets ''very'' jealous. Thankfully, her niceness tends to shine back through.
* CluelessDudeMagnet: Ran is typically unaware of her own attractiveness, and usually remains oblivious when men try to flirt with her, often to Sonoko's exasperation, who believes her wait for Shinichi to be hopeless.
* CoolBigSis: Acts like a kind, fun, and protective older sister figure to Conan, Ai, and the Detective Boys.
* CovertPervert: The sisterly (sometimes motherly) and friendly Ran often has some...''interesting'' thoughts whenever she thinks Shinichi may be involved with another woman. This is more evident in the manga, where at one point, she imagined Shinichi with another woman...in what seems to be after they had sex.
* CulturedBadass: Ran appreciates the fine arts and has been noted to have a great singing voice. She can also play the piano.
* CuteBruiser: Plays karate on the national level. Dere-dominant {{Tsundere}}. For proof: there's an episode where [[spoiler:Ran (Assisted by Makoto, Sonoko's GeniusBruiser boyfriend) [[LadyOfWar took out 50-60 gang members, many armed with katanas]].]] It took 12 minutes, and not a hair was out of place.
* DaddysGirl: Kogoro may exasperate Ran with his constant drinking, womanizing, and over all laziness, but if you call him a lousy detective or take away his business, she'll [[http://imageshack.us/f/545/rano.jpg/ do this.]] On the other hand, Kogoro is overprotective towards her and [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass one of the best ways to make him act competent]] is to [[PapaWolf look at his little girl in anything similar to a wrong way.]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: Her waifish figure and cute face make Ran a frequent target of criminals seeking some kind of human shield. [[https://youtu.be/vy8jE0bbXEk?t=81 Scenes like this one]] prove why this is a ''terrible'' idea.
* DemotedToExtra: In the 20th movie, Ran only has a handful of screen-time moments. A sharp contrast to how much she appeared in the previous movies.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: To Shinichi/Conan's protagonist.
* DubNameChange: Rachel Moore.
* DudeMagnet: Like her "detective boyfriend", Ran has received a '''very''' high amount of attraction from the opposite sex men and so far one girl being attracted to her.
** In many of the cases she's involved in, at least one man has tried to flirt with her.
** There's [[TheHero Shinichi]], who she [[SingleTargetSexuality only has eyes for]]. In fact, Shinichi has [[LoveAtFirstSight loved her from the moment they met in pre-school.]]
** During the "Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story" case, Sonoko comments on how most of the men that came to them and Conan only came because they wanted to flirt with Ran.
** [[spoiler:[[NewTransferStudent Eisuke Hondou]] [[LoveAtFirstSight fell for Ran the first moment he met her]] and wanted to take her to America with him.]]
** [[KendoTeamCaptain Okita]], Heiji's kendo rival, hits on her the first time they meet. [[spoiler:The guy has actually a serious crush on another girl, though.]]
** [[PhantomThief Kaitou Kid]] at one point tried to kiss (and grope) her in a non-canonical movie.
** In a non-canon OVA, [[HospitalHottie Dr. Araide]] apparently asked for her hand in marriage, but it turned out to be Conan's dream.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Within a page or two of her introduction in the very first chapter, we see her ''crack a concrete pole'' with a single punch. Ran Mouri is ridiculously strong. Ok, duly noted.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: If we take Sera's "she's just my type" and Sonoko's AmbiguouslyBi moments seriously.
* FirstLove: To Shinichi, he has been in love with since they were both ''four''.
* FlowerMotifs:
** In "The Nocturne of Red Murderous Intent Part 2", Conan brings Ran a bouquet of blossoms, specifically peach blossoms; peach blossoms represent happiness of love. It's also related with longevity, when reading the kanji for "hundred" 百 (momo) the same way as the one for "Peach tree" 桃 (momo). It could also mean everlasting love, and since it's a spring flower, it's also associated with weddings.
** Ran's name is spelled with the character for orchid (蘭), a fact several of the endings have referenced.
* FriendToAllChildren: She's a nice person in general, but especially the Detective Boys all like her very much. Ai is a little more skittish at first, being somewhat jealous of and intimidated by her popularity; she later warms up to her too when at some point [[spoiler:she reminded her of the recently murdered Akemi]]. There really doesn't seem to be a child in the world that she could not get along with.
* GeniusBruiser: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. There's more emphasis placed on her amazing karate skills than her smarts. However, in the moments where she does solve a case, Ran displays a very good memory for history, and has used her knowledge to contribute to an investigation cases more than once.
* GirlyBruiser: Karate champ, strong willed and, wears many types of dresses.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Ran often wears girly dresses or skirts, is a SupremeChef, likes cute things, loves the fine arts, is a sucker for romance, and is an emotionally sensitive person. She's also a world-renowned karate expert and can be HotBlooded in certain situations.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Yeah, Ran's [[NiceGirl one of the kindest and compassionate people that you'll know in anime]] and [[AllLovingHero she won't hesitate to help anyone, friend or foe]]. That doesn't mean she can't dish out a deserved physical punishment.
* HairstyleInertia: Ran's "horn" has been a part of her hairstyle since childhood.
* HeadTurningBeauty: Men often pick her up instead of Sonoko. To the chagrin of the latter.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Whenever she discusses how Shinichi's absence troubles her. Doesn't help that she cries when she does.
* HeterosexualLifePartners:
** Has been friends with Sonoko since childhood and have always been loyal best friends who can confide in one another about their problems.
** Ran later develops one with Kazuha -- They have become close friends since their second time they met and seem to regard each other as confidantes, since they are in similar romantic situations; and when Shinichi/Conan and Heiji are on cases together, Ran and Kazuha almost always spend the time together.
* HiddenDepths: Ran has a very good memory and attention to detail, having used her both to contribute to a case investigation more than once. This led her to be the only character that isn't specifically stated to be a genius or is tied with the Black Organization to be suspicious of Conan's real identity. The only reason she didn't figure out is because he spent extra effort to hide and deceive her and because she is too trusting of both Shinichi and Conan.
* HotBlooded: Thanks to her {{Tsundere}} tendencies or when her loved ones are threaten.
* HyperAwareness: Ran has shown very alert senses in darkness, able to notice an attacker with a weapon and strike to protect herself.
* IdenticalStranger:
** Ran is said to look a lot like a younger version of Ai's [[CynicismCatalyst dead older sister Akemi]], to the point that Ai was reluctant to get close to Ran because she was still reeling from her terrible loss... but once [[AllLovingHero Ran]] saved Ai's life, [[MoralityPet she became almost desperately protective of Ran]] [[BecauseYouwereNiceToMe as a result]]. It even gets lampshaded when Ai once stares at Ran and pretty much sees her as Akemi.
** During the "The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case" case, two people notice Ran baring a striking physical and character resemblance to the deceased Yoshimi Samezaki; those two people are the deceased's father (Toji Samezaki) and fiance when she was alive (Minoru Ebina).
** In the ''DC vs. Lupin III'' special, with [[spoiler:Crown Princess Mira, a troubled young girl who's caught in a conspiracy after the death of her mother, Queen Sakura, and her heir Prince Gill]].
** Despite she mistakes Kaitou Kuroba for Shinichi, nobody seems to notice the similarity between her and Aoko Nakamori.
* IKnowKarate: Either she or someone else will mention that she is a karate champion.
* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: Know Shinichi very well, as the two times Kaito Kid disguised himself as him (in movie 14 and movie 23 respectively.) she knew he isn't the real Shinichi. [[spoiler:The first one it's because he tried to grab her butt. While the second one she knew it because she never heard Shinichi called her dad "Oji-san/Mister". Something Shinichi does all the times when he's Conan.]]
* InformedAbility: Apparently Ran is a good singer, but she has yet to actually sing.
* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: Ran is constantly looking for her childhood friend [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Shinichi]], who is with her all along as a little boy named Conan Edogawa. Conan himself [[{{Lampshaded}} lampshades]] this at one point. [[LockedOutOfTheLoop Ran still doesn't realize this fact up to the present manga chapter.]]
* IWillWaitForYou: To avoid making Shinichi choose between her and his important case (really an excuse because Shinichi has turned into Conan and can't return), she has decided to wait for him to finish it, trusting his promise that he will come back despite their separation causing Ran a lot of emotional pain.
* {{Kiai}}: She always does that before or when she attacks. It is shown a couple of time that she needs to focus her energy first before performing a move that requires a lot of power. Her kiais are rather low-pitched.
* KickChick: Most of her karate techniques she uses are kicks.
* LadyAndKnight: The Lady to Shinichi's Knight. While Ran is fairly strong, there's an arc involving her as a princess in a SchoolPlay that exploits the "princess and knight" symbolism to the hilt with her and her mutual childhood love interest [[TheHero Shinichi]], who is mostly stuck in a child's body (as the titular Conan) but [[spoiler:is temporarily back to his real physical age during said arc]]. Additionally, during ''Anime/LupinIIIVsDetectiveConan'', [[http://sandman4869.tumblr.com/post/104826108824/rans-daydream-from-lupin-the-3rd-vs-detective Ran daydreams of herself as a princess]] [[http://sandman4869.tumblr.com/post/104829226459/rans-daydream-from-lupin-the-3rd-vs-detective and Shinichi as her knight]].
* LightningBruiser: Despite her slender frame, Ran has considerable raw strength for her frame, as seen from prying open powerless elevator door. She is also shown to be remarkably fast, able to quickly react to and knock away falling pipes and likewise dodge a bullet up-close while on guard. Her strikes have also shown similar speed, able to swat down a bee with a single kick.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch:
** Ran is this to Shinichi. The thought of her showing interest in other guys makes him [[CrazyJealousGuy almost childishly jealous]] and it's mostly PlayedForLaughs. At worst, whenever Ran has disappeared/been attacked/been wounded/[[spoiler:believed to be ''dead'']], Conan has either fallen into {{Heroic BSOD}}s and, at least once, has been dangerously close to crossing the DespairEventHorizon. The best evidence comes from the sixth non-canon movie, [[spoiler:Conan basically gave up all hope of getting out of the virtual game, when Ran [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed her life]] to save him from Jack the Ripper.]] And in both canon and non-canon material, Shinichi has often referred to Ran as his "most precious person in the world".
** Ran grows to become this to Haibara. At first, Haibara avoided her because it was her [[TheQuietOne usual]] [[SugarAndIcePersonality attitude]] and Ran's strong resemblance to her dead sister. However, after spending some time together and [[spoiler:Ran saving Haibara from being killed by Vermouth]], Haibara now takes a special interest in protecting her from the [[BigBad Black Organization.]]
* TheLoad: If her martial skills are not requested, generally she doesn't contribute much to the resolution of the cases. However, she often drops Conan/Shinichi some hints that help him to solve cases, even when she is unaware of the nature of those hints.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Out of everyone, Shinichi is ''most'' adamant about keeping his identity as "Conan Edogawa" and the Black Organization a secret from Ran as much as possible.
* LongDistanceRelationship: A variant with Shinichi. She thinks that he has run off to investigate some kind of case, but in truth he's Conan, aged down thanks to plot.
* LovableJock: One of the best on her karate team and is one of the sweetest characters in the series.
* LoveEpiphany: The "Shinichi Kudo's New York" case reveals that Ran first realized her love Shinichi was after they both saved a serial killer at the time (who was Vermouth) in disguise. When the disguised killer asked why they would do something like that, Shinichi responds that while he can't understand why people kill, there doesn't have to be a reason to save a life. Thanks to Shinichi's answer Ran realizes that the earlier murder wasn't her fault... and when she finally wakes up from her dreams, she remembers how that night was the night she realized her feelings for Shinichi and how important he is to her.
* LoveInterest: She is Shinichi's Love Interest and she's the only person he has romantic feelings to.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: {{Inverted|Trope}}. She loves Shinichi (the original person), but she also deeply cares for Conan (new identity).
* MeaningfulName: Also doubling as PunnyName. Ran likes to rush wherever she goes, believing her name to be like the "Run" word from English. She even said to Shinichi that, "My name is Ran! I was born to run!"
* MindlinkMates: With Shinichi -- they appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making them almost impossibly aware of when the other is in extreme danger, and often able to sense the other's worried thoughts.
* MoralityPet:
** Along with Shinichi, [[spoiler:she is this to [[FemmeFatale Vermouth]] from the Black Organization. After Ran saved Vermouth's life in New York City, Vermouth nicknames Ran "Angel". Earlier, Vermouth, as her Sharon Vineyard role, complained that her life was a series of misfortunes and, "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once." Even though Vermouth in disguise prepared to kill Ran later, Ran stopped Vermouth from taking a fatal fall. Vermouth was touched by this act of kindness. Much later in the story when Ran shielded Haibara from gunfire with her body, Vermouth refused to shoot Ran or allow her to be shot, instead firing around her in an attempt to frighten Ran into releasing Haibara. Vermouth has stated that Ran and Shinichi are the only two treasures she has in the world.]]
** {{Downplayed|Trope}} in regards to [[InsufferableGenius Shinichi.]] He isn't a a psychopath or even a straight up jerk, but one reason for his lack of close friends was because his arrogant personality was a negative turn-off to many of his classmates and even teachers, making it hard to befriend him. Ran was the only exception.
** Eventually becomes one to [[TheCynic Haibara]] after she [[spoiler:saved the latter from being killed Vermouth. Since then, Haibara has taken a special interest in protecting Ran from Black Organization]].
* MusclesAreMeaningless: She has a curvy, normal build for a teenage girl. She can also hurl men who are twice her height and/or triple her weight and punch small craters in brick walls with a cheerful smile on her face.
* NervesOfSteel: She has remained bold, steady, confident and calm in many situations that would usually cause others to remain frozen in fear, such as being threatened by a gun or surrounded by flames.
* NiceGirl: Ran's greatest personality trait is that she genuinely cares for those she loves. She is also patient, kind, and nurturing.
* NoSenseOfDirection: The story sporadically establishes that she easily gets lost, though this tends to go up and down depending on what the plot of the week calls for.
* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:She accepts Shinichi's as her boyfriend at the end of chapter 1004 and doesn't hide her feelings for him anymore.]]
* OneWomanArmy: During one case, Ran was able to successfully take out 50-60 gang members...who had ''katanas''.
* OnlyFriend: Before turning into Conan, Shinichi's primary friend was Ran.
* OutOfFocus: Her role in plots regarding the Organization was diminished increasingly as time when on and introducing many more characters. Compare and contrast her involvement in arcs that involve Vermouth and the later Organization arcs.
* PassionateSportsGirl: The source of her {{Action Girl}}ness. And she takes her karate ''very'' seriously.
* PluckyGirl: Tearful and sensitive as she can be, it's not easy to make her give up.
* {{Protectorate}}: Shinichi/Conan will always make sure that no harm comes to Ran.
* PunnyName:
** Ran is nicknamed "Ranmaru" by her rival and good friend, [[Characters/CaseClosedOtherRecurringCharacters Hina Wada]] based on "Mori Ranmaru"--a famous samurai affiliated with UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga.
** Ran says she's born to run because of her name.[[note]]In Japanese, the English word "Run" is pronounced "Ran", and Ran does not make a reference to the simple past form of that word.[[/note]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The calmer, sensitive Blue Oni to Kazuha's HotBlooded, temperamental Red Oni.
* RelationshipUpgrade: As of file 1006, [[spoiler:she and Shinichi are officially a couple]].
* ReplacementGoldfish: To Ai, since Ran greatly resembles her dead sister.
* RescueRomance: With Shinichi -- they've mutually helped and rescued each other (even if Shinichi is in his Conan form almost all the time) several times - often a ''great'' risk to themselves. Lampshaded once when Ran's drugged and almost forcibly drowned at some point, then Conan rushes in to help her; thanks to the drug and lack of oxygen she sees Conan as Shinichi, and before passing out she smiles and says "Don't worry, I'm okay... Shinichi came to save me..."
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: With Shinichi, especially when they were younger and when they aren't [[BelligerentSexualTension bickering]], she's the emotional, chipper Energetic Girl to Shinichi's aloof, stoic Savvy Guy.
* ScreamingWoman: See TheLoad, above - if a case-of-the-week doesn't need someone beaten up (and it usually doesn't), her main role is to scream loudly and dramatically upon seeing the inevitable corpse, and maybe dial the cops afterward.
* SecretSecretKeeper: An incident involving blood transfusions implies she might know that Conan is Shinichi. The whole Desperate Revival plan has to be created to make her believe otherwise.
* ShipperOnDeck:
** Ran wishes for her parents to get back together.
** She supports Heiji and Kazuha becoming a couple.
** She ships Sonoko and Makoto.
** Ran seems to think that Conan and Ai would be cute together.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Even though it took her slightly longer than Shinichi, Ran has only ever had eyes for him.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Some people have wondered [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim why Ran would like a guy like Shinichi]]... Well, in a private discussion with Conan (aka Shinichi himself), Ran stated that while [[InsufferableGenius he may have]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold an unpleasant]] [[IceKing personality]], he's also [[UndyingLoyalty brave and someone you can rely on in a pinch.]] In fact, [[LoveEpiphany Ran first realized she was in love with him]] when he helped save a SerialKiller from falling to his death. When asked by the said killer why he [Shinichi] would even consider doing such an act, Shinichi responded with: [[ThouShaltNotKill "People kill each other and I don't understand,]] [[AllLovingHero but for saving a life, is a logical reason necessary?"]]
-->'''Ran:''' ''(to Conan)'' Ever since he [Shinichi] was little he was a jerk, always full of himself, and a mystery otaku. But whenever you need him, he's dependable and brave and cool. ''I really like Shinichi!''
* StarCrossedLovers: With Shinichi. While their feelings [[BelligerentSexualTension have been kinda wavering]] for quite the while, as time passes they have grown stronger - but Shinichi is trapped in the body of a little boy (the titular Conan) and cannot openly tell Ran who he is, lest she and his friends will be targeted by the same evil organization that shrunk him. In the meantime poor Ran waits for Shinichi's return...
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Ran gets her physical looks from her mother, with the only thing she got from her father was her dark-brown hair.
* StrongGirlSmartGuy: With Shinichi. While Ran is karate champion whose strength borders on CharlesAtlasSuperpower, he's a TeenGenius detective who can solve supposed impossible crimes.
* SupremeChef: Ran is a Karate expert and has been repeatedly told she's a great cook.
* TenderTears: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by [[spoiler:Shuuichi Akai]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Akai''']]: You are crying again... You are always crying.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Best summed with this quote:
-->"Courage is a word of justice. It means the quality of mind that enables one to face apprehension with confidence and resolution. It is not right to use it as an excuse to kill someone."
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: One may ''think'' she's the tomboy to Sonoko's girly girl, but Ran is [[PlayingWithATrope more complex than that.]] Sonoko is less physically active and more boy-crazy/fashionista than Ran, but is also more outspoken and straightforward than her (unless Ran's in tsuntsun mode). In fact, their friendship started when ''Sonoko'' protected Ran when they were children!
* {{Tsundere}}: She's default Type B or deredere (gentler). Just don't piss her off.
* TwiceShy: With Shinichi. Even after he became aware of her feelings for him as Conan, when he returns to his original body, he gets too scared to properly confess...until the London arc. And after the said arc, it takes her about 250 chapters to give him an answer.
* UndyingLoyalty: She'll ''never'' turn her back on her loved ones. Especially Shinichi, who she has the utmost faith in, believing he can save her or anyone from needless violence.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: {{Subverted|Trope}}. She and Shinichi are each other's love interest, but aren't technically together, since Shinichi has turned into Conan. Every time Ran gets protective of him, it's more like BigSisterInstinct and/or MamaBear.
** The WholeEpisodeFlashback to Shinichi's first "official" case (the airplane murder) had a small (but ''very'' fondly remembered by shippers) bit where she offers to beat up a particularly obnoxious [[CommanderContrarian naysayer]] to Shinichi's theories.[[note]]Sadly, this was mostly a liberty on the fansubbers' part; in the original Japanese, her offer is a much more low-key "anything I can do to help?"[[/note]]
* WackyParentSeriousChild: The CuteBruiser Serious Child to Kogoro's ManChild Wacky Parent.
* TheWatson: Shinichi has a tendency to call her "Watson" and she tends to play this role in flashbacks.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Ran gets easily sick when reading in a car.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Others, especially Sonoko, can't understand why Ran would like mystery {{otaku}} like Shinichi. Ran answers this question when talking to "Conan" that despite his flaws, Shinichi has many other admirable qualities she loves, such as his bravery and reliability. Also, in a private conversation with Kazuha, Ran admits that despite calling Shinichi a "mystery geek" to his face, she actually thinks he looks cool when he solves a case.
* WhatWouldXDo: Whenever Ran is faced with a particularly difficult situation she would often question what would Shinichi do if he was in the same predicament.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She has a fear of ghosts. Not because they're supernatural per se, though, but because they're intangible--meaning her martial arts will have absolutely no effect. A culprit assumes that she's afraid of anything remotely scarely, only for Ran to reply that she's afraid of ghosts, not of idiots and then beats the shit out of him.
* WiseBeyondHerYears: Ran is very self-sufficient for her age, since her father is often drunk, slovenly, and fiscally irresponsible. She handles many of the Mouri household's financial affairs and all the cooking and housework.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Both Shuichi and Haibara have noted how Ran is ''very'' similar to Akemi in both appearance and personality.

* BoobsOfSteel: She's quite the fighter, and possesses rather large breasts.

* DaddysGirl: Kogoro may exasperate Ran with his constant drinking, womanizing, and over all laziness, but if you call him a lousy detective or take away his business, she'll [[http://imageshack.us/f/545/rano.jpg/ do this.]] On the other hand, Kogoro is pretty much an OverprotectiveDad and [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass one of the best ways to make him act competent]] is to [[PapaWolf look at his little girl in anything similar to a wrong way.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: She's quite the fighter, and possesses rather large breasts. [[GagBoobs Which once in a while are the subject of visual gags.]]

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Through nothing but the karate practice she leads at school while otherwise leading a normal girl's life, Ran Mouri can take out a small army of hired thugs and knock out armed criminals. She can apparently [[DodgeTheBullet even do the bullet thing,]] at least in one of the movies. [[MST3Kmantra Don't think about it too hard.]] It could also be a slight case of ItRunsInTheFamily. At least home schooling has been mentioned, and both Kogoro and Eri know their Judo pretty well.
