Gosho Aoyama appears as a blond-haired movie director called "A-Yama", shooting scenes from the volume, first interrupting Chapter 1 because [[Kaitou Kid]]'s monocle is on the wrong side. He then tells [[Aoko Nakamori]] to hurry for her role as Princess [[Anne of Sublina]] in Chapter 2, but she forgets changing out of her school uniform, angering him. Kaito pulls a prank on him by putting a gold fish into the aquarium for the underwater scenes from Chapter 5.

She and Gosho freak out when Aoko instantly gets the villain part right. | Gosho Aoyama appears as a blond-haired movie director called "A-Yama", shooting scenes from the volume, first interrupting Chapter 1 because [[Kaitou Kid]]'s monocle is on the wrong side.

Background
Gosho Aoyama often depicts himself as a rather obnoxious person bent on cheating, who most often instantly gets punished for it - getting electrocuted by Kami-sama in Yaiba and killed by his assistants in the Detective Conan Omake and an unseen force in the forewords of the volumes. When he's not shown to be an incarnation of the Mangaka itself, he is often depicted as some kind of strict movie director, producing his series like they are serial dramas.
