In his youth, Aoyama and his friends were more like the Detective Boys back then and describes himself as the Mitsuhiko type of his group. Gosho Aoyama was still drawing Nyarome (ニャロメ, Nyarome), a character that is created by Akatsuka Fujio, one of the creators of Doraemon. Aoyama bought his first manga named "Ore wa Teppei" (おれは鉄兵; Literally meaning "I am Teppei") by Tetsuya Chiba which he liked the manga series a lot, and thus made him to join the kendō club.

Gosho studied manga since his college days, but he entered university thinking that he will become an art teacher someday. Gosho decided to become a manga artist in his fourth year of university when an older student Yutaka Abe, who was already a manga artist, asked Gosho if he wanted to try submitting a work. Gosho sent a work to a shounen magazine, and it received an honorable mention. When Gosho told his parents that he plans to become a manga artist after graduation, they opposed the decision because they thought it would be an unstable job, unlike an art teacher.<ref>コナンドリル オフィシャルブック (Conan Drill Official Book), published May 1 2003<br />

Aoyama had to read manga secretly because his parents were strict and told him that, "Nothing good can come out of reading manga" so during his junior high school years, he had to read manga secretly which makes Aoyama almost giving up his dream and decided to become an art teacher instead and enrolled in Nihon University College of Art. There, Aoyama joined the Manga Studies Club where he met the club's alumnus, manga artist Yutaka Abe. The start for Gosho Aoyama was when Abe asked Aoyama if he wanted to draw manga for real. In winter of 1986, Aoyama joined a comic contest for freshmen students. He won the contest, and it became a stepping-stone for his career as a manga artist and author, as well as a turning point for his life.

Before Gosho looked for a permanent job as a manga artist, he worked part-time jobs, one of which was drawing the background for Ponkikki. He was initially very poor, subsisting on meatless curry for five days straight. His family even sent him rice. When Gosho later considered a job at the magazine where he won an honorable mention, the editor kindly advised him "I personally like your art, but you'll probably be told to change your style sometime soon, so it'll be better for you if you went elsewhere." Eventually Gosho would submit to Shounen Sunday. He won the Newcomer Award at Shounen Sunday with [[Gosho Aoyama's Collection of Short Stories#Wait For Me|Wait a Minute]]. Gosho worked for Shounen Sunday for a while, using his free time to play video games.<ref>コナンドリル オフィシャルブック (Conan Drill Official Book), published May 1 2003<br />

When he began working on the manuscript for ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', the the editor-in-chief didn't care for it and offered to treat Gosho if ''Magic Kaito'' gets made into volumes and sells 100,000 copies. That number was quickly passed. After that, Gosho began publishing the profitable ''[[Yaiba]]'' in weekly Shounen Sunday. Financially and psychologically that stabilized Gosho's lifestyle.<ref>コナンドリル オフィシャルブック (Conan Drill Official Book), published May 1 2003<br />

 +
After Gosho wrapped up Yaiba, his editors asked him to come up with a mystery manga, hoping to match the populrarity of ''[[Kindaichi]]''. That prompted him to develop ''[[Detective Conan]]''.<ref>名探偵コナン＆金田一少年の事件簿01 (Detective Conan & Kindaichi Case files #1), published April 10, 2008<br />
 +
青山剛昌：僕も同じような感じです。僕の場合は、「「金田一」が受けているから「少年サンデー」でも、そういうまんがをやってくれないか？」と打診されて。でも最初は、まったく乗り気じゃなかった。大変ですもん。<br />
 +
Gosho Aoyama: Same feel for me. In my case, I was probed, “Since Kindaichi is popular, can do you do that kind of manga for Shonen Sunday?” At first, though, I had no interest at all. It would be a lot of trouble, you see.<br />
 +
Translation credit [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/?p=89133 JustwantanAccount]</ref> Gosho claimed the plot for ''Detective Conan'' was planned in two weeks. At first he thought of doing a hardboiled series, but then changed to a more lighthearted idea where a teenage boy deages 10 years and goes back to first grade.<ref>コナンドリル オフィシャルブック (Conan Drill Official Book), published May 1 2003<br />
 +
Translation credit [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/#entry97217 JustwantanAccount]</ref> With this plot in mind Gosho planned to include lots of love comedy centered around the shrunken protagonist and his teenage love interest.<ref>名探偵コナン＆金田一少年の事件簿01 (Detective Conan & Kindaichi Case files #1), published April 10, 2008<br />
 +
青山：僕は、最初から「コナン」にはラブコメの要素を入れるつもりで描いてました。主人公がちっちゃくなるというのは、まさにラブコメですから。小さい少年と元の自分が好きな女の子が出てきたら面白いかなと。<br />
 +
Aoyama: For me, I drew with the intention to include elements of love comedy in Conan from the beginning. The protagonist becoming small is truly a love comedy, you see. I thought that having a small boy and a girl that the boy's real self loves would be interesting.<br />
 +
Translation credit [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/?p=89133 JustwantanAccount]</ref> Gosho designed the characters quickly. Gosho deliberately broke from standard convention when designing Conan. Gosho gave Conan glasses with Clark Kent in mind as well as a long name. Gosho's editor-in-chief was worried the name Conan was too close to [[Future Boy Conan]], and requested Gosho change Conan's name to Doyle.<ref>コナンドリル オフィシャルブック (Conan Drill Official Book), published May 1 2003<br />
 +
Translation credit [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/#entry97217 JustwantanAccount]</ref> Gosho thought Detective Conan was only going to last 3 months.<ref>名探偵コナン＆金田一少年の事件簿01 (Detective Conan & Kindaichi Case files #1), published April 10, 2008<br />
 +
青山：僕もネタ的に続かないから、３か月ぐらいかなと。<br />
 +
Aoyama: I, too, thought that it would only last about three months, since it's difficult to continue material-wise.<br />

Gosho Aoyama (青山 剛昌 Aoyama Gōshō?, also spelled as Goshow Aoyama and Go-Show Aoyama[1]), born Yoshimasa Aoyama (青山 剛昌 Aoyama Yoshimasa?) on June 21, 1963[2] in Hokuei, Tottori Prefecture, Japan (formerly Daiei, Tottori Prefecture)[3] is a Japanese manga artist. He is best known as the creator of the manga series Detective Conan, known in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom as Case Closed.

Background

Gosho Aoyama had artistic leanings as a child. In his youth, Gosho was fond of drawing pictures and manga. He drew flip books other doodles into his textbooks.[4] His father bought him his first manga in kindergarten.[5] Apparently, Gosho wrote "I will become a manga artist in the future" in his elementary school's graduation anthology, but he didn't remember it.His parents scolded him when he drew manga.[6]

In his childhood, Gosho was also a huge soccer and baseball fan.

Gosho studied manga since his college days, but he entered university thinking that he will become an art teacher someday. Gosho decided to become a manga artist in his fourth year of university when an older student Yutaka Abe, who was already a manga artist, asked Gosho if he wanted to try submitting a work. Gosho sent a work to a shounen magazine, and it received an honorable mention. When Gosho told his parents that he plans to become a manga artist after graduation, they opposed the decision because they thought it would be an unstable job, unlike an art teacher.[7]

While he was in University he first lived in Ekoda, which is along the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, then in Senkawa. Gosho played a lot of Mahjong in university.[8]

Before Gosho looked for a permanent job as a manga artist, he worked part-time jobs, one of which was drawing the background for Ponkikki. He was initially very poor, subsisting on meatless curry for five days straight. His family even sent him rice. When Gosho later considered a job at the magazine where he won an honorable mention, the editor kindly advised him "I personally like your art, but you'll probably be told to change your style sometime soon, so it'll be better for you if you went elsewhere." Eventually Gosho would submit to Shounen Sunday. He won the Newcomer Award at Shounen Sunday with Wait a Minute. Gosho worked for Shounen Sunday for a while, using his free time to play video games.[9]

When he began working on the manuscript for Magic Kaito, the the editor-in-chief didn't care for it and offered to treat Gosho if Magic Kaito gets made into volumes and sells 100,000 copies. That number was quickly passed. After that, Gosho began publishing the profitable Yaiba in weekly Shounen Sunday. Financially and psychologically that stabilized Gosho's lifestyle.[10]

After Gosho wrapped up Yaiba, his editors asked him to come up with a mystery manga, hoping to match the populrarity of Kindaichi. That prompted him to develop Detective Conan.[11] Gosho claimed the plot for Detective Conan was planned in two weeks. At first he thought of doing a hardboiled series, but then changed to a more lighthearted idea where a teenage boy deages 10 years and goes back to first grade.[12] With this plot in mind Gosho planned to include lots of love comedy centered around the shrunken protagonist and his teenage love interest.[13] Gosho designed the characters quickly. Gosho deliberately broke from standard convention when designing Conan. Gosho gave Conan glasses with Clark Kent in mind as well as a long name. Gosho's editor-in-chief was worried the name Conan was too close to Future Boy Conan, and requested Gosho change Conan's name to Doyle.[14] Gosho thought Detective Conan was only going to last 3 months.[15]

History

He was once married to voice actress Minami Takayama, the voice of his manga protagonists, Yaiba Kurogane from Yaiba and Conan Edogawa. They were married on May 5, 2005 but divorced on December 10, 2007.

    Gosho Aoyama: Same feel for me. In my case, I was probed, “Since Kindaichi is popular, can do you do that kind of manga for Shonen Sunday?” At first, though, I had no interest at all. It would be a lot of trouble, you see.

    Aoyama: For me, I drew with the intention to include elements of love comedy in Conan from the beginning. The protagonist becoming small is truly a love comedy, you see. I thought that having a small boy and a girl that the boy's real self loves would be interesting.
