Mitch Tennison, known in the Japanese versions as nihongo|Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|円谷 光彦|"Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko", is a character in the manga and anime "Case Closed" ("Detective Conan").

Aoyama introduced Mitch/Mitsuhiko as one of Conan Edogawa's three first-grade foils. These three match the traditional division "brains, brawn, and beauty"; Mitch, the "brainy one," is an intelligent boy for his age and knows a little about many kinds of technology. Mitch and his friends Amy Yoshida and George Kojima befriend Conan in grade school and form the Junior Detective League. Early in the series, Aoyama established that Mitch (and George) had a crush on Amy, who had a crush on Conan, who was both far too old for her and implied to have feelings for Rachel/Ran. Later, when Anita Hailey joins the group, the manga not only has the rest of the Junior Detectives befriend her but has Mitch fall for her; however, Aoyama has not yet made it clear whether Anita has romantic feelings towards anyone. Mitch is also shown to be a big fan of Masked Yaiba.

Mitch is a well-read kid, who reveals to have basic knowledge about many things most of his friends wouldn't know about. Aoyama may have intended this to be the result of both his parents being teachers. He is also quite level-headed, though he still tends to panic in stress situations. Overall, Mitch is a kid with a cheerful and outgoing personality who likes to have fun.
