One of my favorites that hasn't been mentioned is Jimmy Kudo/Conan Edogawa (this is the same person) from "Detective Conan" (Japanese Title)/"Case Closed" (U.S. Title), a manga and anime series. This is an excellent series featuring a young man named Jimmy Kudo who is considered by many in the series to be the Sherlock Holmes of his generation and with his physical and mental skills the comparison is justified. The series features a combination of excellent mysteries that will leave you guessing until the final reveal, and humor. A nice touch in the manga is that in each volume the author includes an article on other famous fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes, Lt. Columbo, and Arsene Lupin.
