 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Slide: I heard that when you were in primary school, you have wrote (……..not readable……….) for private detective stories? Is this true?
 +
 +
Translator: (Japanese question)
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: (Japanese question)
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: So, uh, when he was in Primary school, he really did determine himself to write a manga, create a manga about private detective stories, but at the time the character of Conan was not in his head yet.  (Japanese question)
 +
 +
Slide: This is about the dualism exemplified in Conan as a character. How did you come up with the idea of creating a single character that embodies such dualism?
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: So, he actually had this idea of the character (inaudible) character from (inaudible) Mikeneko Holmes which is by Akagawa Jirou (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jir%C5%8D_Akagawa#Calico_Cat_Holmes)
 +
 +

 +
Translator: So in the story, the cat being a detective was a quite cute setting, so he thought of Conan the character. (Japanese question)
 +
 +

 +
 +
Slide: What made you decide Shinichi Kudo as a boy who is good at football?
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: The reason is quite simple, because in that period when Conan started its series that J-league, the football team in Japan was a really big trend, so that’s why he thought of making that setting of Shinichi being good at football. (Japanese question)
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: Shinichi, he is really good at sports, but not at music. Why is it so, because Mr. Aoyama said he is not a good singer.
 +
 +
(loud laughs)
 +
 +
Translator: (Japanese question)
 +
 +
Slide: I heard when you just started Conan, you didn’t expect this series to be very long since it is a mystery. Why did you think this although you are a mystery fan?

 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)

 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: Sometimes the briefing takes up to 12 hours. Just by writing the Name, which is a rough setting. He took three days just to think of the plot. And drawing five days. So it actually doesn’t finish within a week. (Japanese question about tricks and gimmicks)

 +
(loud laughs)
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)

 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: He doesn’t even really children, he doesn’t target adults, he just target everyone
 +
 +
(loud laughs)
 +
 +
Translator: (Japanese question)
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: He doesn’t really think of what kind (inaudible) just when he likes it. (Japanese question)
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: So, Sonoko was actually appearing as a detective in quite many episodes, but recently Sera-chan has appeared so she’s not becoming a detective anymore so much. (Japanese question)
 +
 +
(loud laughing over question)
 +
 +
(Video 2 starts here)
 +
 +
Slide: Until the 30th volume, Ran was always suspecting that Conan was actually Shinichi. Was there any possibilities to let Ran know the truth?
 +
 +
Translator: Actually Aoyama-sensei thought why does Ran never actually realize that Conan is Shinichi?
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: So, He still thinks it’s more fun, it’s more exciting that Ran doesn’t know about the truth, so he just continue like this. (Japanese question)
 +
 +
Slide: Not only Dr. Agasa, but Hattori Heiji also knows that Conan is Shinichi. Why did you come up with this setting?
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)

(loud laughs)
 +
 +
Translator: (Japanese question)

 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: Since it’s a love, a love comedy, uh, it’s better to have couples that they know each other since very young.
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: So it’s easier for, uh, readers to remind what happened in the past, uh, when they know each other since very very young, for the couples. (Japanese question)
 +
 +
Gosho: (Japanese answer)
 +
 +
Translator: It’s not fun if people know of who the character is then what kind of fact there is behind the character. He just follows what is fun. (Japanese question)

'''TWO COMIC ICONS AND POST MOVIE INTERVIEW'''<br>
 +
Text
 +
<spoiler>Starting from  Question 1 is the "TWO COMIC ICONS: GOSHO AOYAMA MEETS SONNY LIEW",
 +
Starting from Question 44 is a second Q & A session that was done after a special screening of Movie 20
 +
 +
Q1: You are admired as a mangaka but what do you think about it?
 +
 +
A: Well… I’m not conscious of it.
 +
 +
Q2: What do you think you are for everyone out there?
 +
 +
A: Well… I wonder about that. I’m Conan’s creator… Hum… I really don’t know. I’m always shut in my room and working.
 +
 +
Q3: Is mangaka very lonely job?
 +
 +
A: It’s very lonely.
 +
 +
Q4: Have you met any young mangaka who admire you and got inspired by you to become mangaka?
 +
 +
A: I haven’t. (Audience laughs). There are fan letters that say “I admire you, I want to become a mangaka”
 +
 +
Q5: You said you’re not conscious of it but do you feel any pressure from the admiration many place into you?
 +
 +
A: I don’t. I don’t feel anything like that. (Replies at once)
 +
 +
Q6: You’re very popular so… Do you have any bodyguards?
 +
 +
A: Yeah! A bodyguard was assigned to me when I went to Germany!
 +
 +
Q7: When you work on the stories… Do you take into mind what kind of stories could be popular or what the readers would like to read?
 +
 +
A: Hum… I don’t… think much about it. I prioritize what I want to draw. If I try to figure out what the readers like I’ll most likely end up guessing wrong. (Someone: Really! Have you had that experience before?)
 +
 +
Q8: You said you receive tons of fan-letters but do you write answers to them?
 +
 +
A: Japan has “New Year’s cards” and I always write my replies in those.
 +
 +
Q9:  Do you read opinions about Conan on the Internet? What do you when you find a comment that criticizes Conan?
 +
 +
A:  Yeah. I check them out. If there’s a comment that criticizes Conan then I don’t come back to that website. (Audience laughs)
 +
 +
Q10: Conan is being loved across the world, not only Japan. But did you predict it’d end up like this? It’d seem it’s also pretty popular in Western countries as well, did you know?
 +
 +
A: I didn’t expect that. On the contrary: I thought nobody would take it seriously.
 +
 +
Q11: We’re now at Volume 90 but when did you start thinking that “this is working”?
 +
 +
A: Ever since Volume 1… (laughs). (Sorry for not being humble!)
 +
 +
Q12: How do you manage time when you’re busy?
 +
A: When working on the key frames… Then I only sleep 3 hours a day
 +
 +
 +
Q13: How much time do you work like that?
 +
 +
A: 5 days.
 +
 +
Q14: You don’t rest on weekends or holidays?
 +
 +
A: I don’t make a distinction
 +
 +
Q15: So you spend 5 days to make 1 file?
 +
 +
A: Wrong. The key frames take 5 days. Drawing the file takes 3 days.
 +
 +
Q16: Do you have a studio at home?
 +
 +
A: Yes, my home is my studio.
 +
 +
Q17:  You don’t have any pressure regarding deadlines?
 +
 +
A: I don’t. Edits made when busy are bad! (laughs)
 +
 +
Q18: Have you ever missed a deadline?
 +
 +
A: I haven’t! (Replies at once)
 +
 +
Q19: What do you think it’ll become of manga and anime in the future?
 +
 +
A: Well, I’m wondering that too. I don’t think much will change… As long as they’re popular… I haven’t taken that into consideration when writing the manga
 +
 +
Q20: Which has more readers in Japan?  Digital manga or printed manga?
 +
 +
A: Hum… I wonder about that. Digital seems to be in the rise, though.
 +
 +
Q21: Do you have any assistants? And are they young mangakas?
 +
 +
A: I’ve got 6 assistants. They’re colleagues from the college manga club. They’re all… pretty old. But a young girl joined us. She’s the only one who looks lively… (laughs)
 +
 +
Q22: Do you have any mangaka you admire?
 +
 +
A: Tetsuya Chiba. And Mitsuru Adachi too.
 +
 +
Q23: I’ve been a fan of Conan since elementary school (no won my 30s). Will Conan end before I die?
 +
 +
A: Do your best to live on.
 +
 +
Q24: Is there any prediction on when will Conan end?
 +
 +
A: It’s a secret!
 +
 +
Q25:  Conan is popular but can you tell about your other works?
 +
 +
A: Huh? What? What? Ah… I drew Yaiba a long time ago. Because I did kendo in the past. Kaito Kid as well… I don’t know what I could explain about it… I like Arsense Lupin a lot so I put that passion into Kid’s character
 +
 +
Q26: You said that drawing manga is a lonely thing and that you stay in your room and only sleep 3 hours, but how do you manage to stay healthy?
 +
 +
A: I’m not healthy. (Audience laughs). No, no, no! You shouldn’t laugh at that!
 +
 +
Q27: Conan is very popular and goes on but, do you have any ideas of any series you want to continue once Conan ends?
 +
 +
A: I haven’t thought of any.
 +
 +
Q28:  Why is it that Vermouth and Sharon and mother and daughter?
 +
 +
A: Ah… Is it OK to say that? Hmmm… Look forward to it.
 +
 +
Q29: There’s a manga about mangakas named “Bakuman”, but do think that its story is correct or realistic?
 +
 +
A: I saw the anime. That’s a lie. That doesn’t happen in real life. Doesn’t. There’s a lot of things… most of them… that aren’t real. The authors said they did like that to make it interesting. Real life is more sober than that.
 +
 +
Q30: Have you considered any fellow mangaka a rival to compete against, or have you been irritated by any?
 +
 +
A:  (laughs). That hasn’t happened… In my case, though. I’m a sloth myself so I myself am my greatest rival.
 +
 +
Q31: Do you have any plans to draw a manga showing a mangaka’s real lifestyle?
 +
 +
A:  (laughs again). I don’t.
 +
 +
Q32: In “Bakuman”… You can see the relationship between the mangaka and the editor, but how is the relationship between you and your editor?
 +
 +
A: Nothing like the one in the manga. The editor might be a different company, even. Conan is one of the main manga in the Shonen Jump of Shogakukan.  I think that the Sunday mangaka who saw Bakuman thought “that’s not true!”.
 +
 +
Q33: Apart from manga… Do you believe that works explaining a mangaka’s lifestyle are close to the real stuff?
 +
 +
A: Yeah. What was it? “Overprintable”. That was pretty real. It was made into a TV drama too.
 +
 +
Q: Your clothes make me recall Akai Shuuichi but… why?
 +
 +
A: HUH? * laughs * … No way… Well, I came cosplaying as Akai. (laughs).
 +
 +
Q: When you write the stories… Amongst the DBs, Kaito Kid, the BO, Heiji Hattori and others… Is there a type of story you enjoy a lot when you write it?
 +
 +
A: Kaito Kid is fun and the BO is exciting.
 +
 +
Q36: How about those cases when Heiji and Shinichi solve a mystery together?
 +
 +
A: Well, I enjoy them too. They’re fun.
 +
 +
Q37: Is there any important lesson or message you want to transmit through the manga?
 +
 +
A:  I’ve been saying this for some time but… Boys are cool and girls are cute.
 +
 +
Q38: A lot of songs are used in the anime and it got popular. Do they ask for your opinion when the songs are chosen? What is your favorite main song?
 +
 +
A: They only asked me the first time. That was the only time I told them my opinion… There a lot of songs so… Choose by yourself. My favorite one is the very first song “mune no dokidoki”.
 +
 +
Questioner: “My favorite is Garnet Crow’s ”Wasurezaki”…” (ED 20)
 +
 +
Aoyama:  “Huh? Wasurezaki? Huh? I don’t recognize the name. (Audience laughs). Garnet Crown? Ah… I like Garnet Crow.
 +
 +
Q39: You’re a Gundam fan, right? Akai got his name from Char, and Amuro is from Rei Amuro. Are there other works that influence Conan apart from Gundam?
 +
 +
A: Are there…? Apart from Gundam? What could it be…? I can’t think of any. Sorry.
 +
 +
Q40: I believe that, in Japan, mangakas and editors are very close and create a manga together, but how much do they influence and how do they collaborate in balancing things?
 +
 +
A: We might spend meandering about 12 hours to come up with a trick. Once we decide on the story then we don’t discuss editing.
 +
 +
Q41: Have you heard of any real-life policeman or private detective inspired by Conan who’s solved any real-life cases?
 +
 +
A: I haven’t! (Audience laughs). But I heard about someone who, imitating Conan, jumped into a river to jump someone who was drowning.
 +
 +
Q42: You draw murders as a mangaka, but have you thought about someone possibly using the story or a trick in real life to cause a case?
 +
 +
A: Fortunately enough no-one has insofar caused any cases in which they imitate Conan. But if there was a real-life case like that I promise I won’t draw a story that resembles it.
 +
 +
Q43: Are there any cases in Japan of a manga being qualified as not being too good?
 +
 +
A: Hmmm… Are there? Both children and adults read a lot of manga nowadays. Time ago it was children only. That’s why my parents were against me becoming a mangaka. They said it’d end up being no good.
 +
 +
Q44: The Darkest Nightmare is the 20th movie. The manga has 90 volumes. (Conan’s popularity) increases by the year but why do you think it’s so popular?
 +
 +
A: Well… What can I say…? I work hard on the manga but the movies have also been working hard since their beginnings. And thus popularity has gradually spread… I believe that maybe that’s what makes it popular.
 +
 +
Q45: Apart from the script, do you get involved in some other aspect of the movies?
 +
 +
A: Well, I draw key frames and help fix the storyboards
 +
 +
Q46: You can see Singapore in the staff roll, right? Why is that?
 +
 +
A: It’s not like I decided THAT… (laughs). Guess they choose there because we don’t have a big, huge Ferris wheel here.
 +
 +
Q47:  Will Singapore show up as a location in Conan’s story?
 +
 +
A:  I have a tentative plan do that
 +
 +
Q48: When will that be?
 +
 +
A: Hmmm… When…? Hmm… Within a year’s time? I don’t know.”
 +
 +
Q49:  In the manga? Or in a movie?
 +
 +
A: In the manga. It’ll eventually be adapted into the anime.
 +
 +
Q50: Regarding characters’ designs… For example, Conan’s bow tie. How did you get the idea for that?
 +
 +
A: That’s… “Shichi – go – san”… There’s a traditional Japanese event called “shichi – go – san”. Boys wear like that. I wore like that when I had my “shichi – go – san”.
 +
 +
Q51: Where do your ideas for many cases, tricks and episodes come from?
 +
 +
A: Well… From a lot of places. I see interesting movies, read interesting novels, and come up with interesting ideas.
 +
 +
Q52: Do you get inspiration from real-life cases?
 +
 +
A: No, I don’t.
 +
 +
Q53: You’ve just answered that you don’t want them to resemble real-life cases but… You make your cases in a way that the “fiction” aspect prevails in them?
 +
 +
A: Yes, I do. If I use a real-life case someone might feel annoyed at that, after all.
 +
 +
Q54: Conan is supposed to be an elementary school student. But there are a lot of dark aspects in the series. What kind of readers do you have in mind when you work on the cases?
 +
 +
A: Well… I don’t have any specific kinds. I aim for every kind.
 +
 +
Q55: Some readers have grown and become adults ever since the series began, right? Have you felt the need to change the story to take in mind the growth of the readers?
 +
 +
A: I haven’t. Kids are very smart, and when I write a childish story some say “this is for kids” and they look down on it
 +
 +
Q56: Do you also get ideas from children close to you?
 +
 +
A: I don’t have any children close to me. (laughs)
 +
 +
Q57: So you come up with everything using your imagination?
 +
 +
A: Correct. Sometimes using my experiences as a kid.
 +
 +
Q58: I guess most people are interested on it yet… Do you have an idea of how will Conan’s end be like?
 +
 +
A: I have it, of course
 +
 +
Q59: How much time will it take to get to that resolution?
 +
 +
A: That’s a secret.
 +
 +
Q60: If Conan goes back to Shinichi would the story continue as the life of the high-school student Shinichi?
 +
 +
A: Well… I haven’t really given it a thought yet. But that could be interesting to do.
 +
 +
Q61: Kogoro has 2 disciples, no? Do Amuro and Wakita know each other?
 +
 +
A: Huh? Why do you think that? Ah… There are a lot of things involved there. Look forward to them.
 +
 +
Q62: Why did Curacao die? Why did she have to die?
 +
 +
A: Ah… Curacao? Hmmm… That was sad, yeah. But, well… Hmmm… I think that even if she’d lived on she wouldn’t have an easy life. I’m sorry (public laughs)
 +
 +
Q63: Do you feel pressured by the level of popularity? Like, when popularity is high do you feel that you want to keep on? Or that when a new volume is less popular than the one before you feel troubled?
 +
 +
A: No, I don’t. I don’t feel that at all.
 +
 +
Q64: Is there something specific you do to relax?
 +
 +
A: Nope… Ah. Well. I like baseball so I watch baseball.
 +
 +
Q65: Will Conan alone defeat the BO? What about Akai and Amuro?
 +
 +
A: Akai and Amuro will be needed, of course! (laughs). I think that things may happen as you imagine.
 +
 +
Q66: There are a lot of mangakas who have cameo appearances in some movies: do you intend to make a cameo appearance in a movie?
 +
 +
A: * laughs *… No, I’m too shy to do that. I was once asked to do a cameo appearance but I refused the offer.
 +
 +
Q67: What’s your favorite female character of the manga?
 +
 +
A: Well… That’d be Ran – chan. Is that OK?
 +
 +
Q68: What are the key elements (those things you consider important) when it comes to making a Conan movie?
 +
 +
A: Hmm… They’re always different. For this year’s one I thought of involving the BO…
 +
 +
Q69: When you draw the manga you take the movies and anime into consideration?
 +
 +
A: Well, I do
 +
 +
Q70: You’ve been keeping that in mind ever since you began serialization?
 +
 +
A: Nope. When I began serializing it there wasn’t an anime so I didn’t think of those. I didn’t think such a small manga would have an anime.
 +
 +
Q71: Did you use yourself as basis for creating Kudo Yuusaku? Because he can be smarter than Conan
 +
 +
A: Nope, I’m not that smart. If I’m forced to say who was the basis that’d be Mycroft from the Sherlock Holmes novels.
 +
 +
Q72: Will Eisuke Hondo make a comeback?
 +
 +
A: Say… (laughs)… Do you really want him back? Well… I might give it some thought
 +
 +
Q73: What motivated you to become a mangaka and what motivated you to create Conan?
 +
 +
A: I liked mystery stories. The reason I became a mangaka was because I was good at drawing. I also liked coming up with stories ever since I was a kid so I thought of drawing a story I’d come up with.
 +
 +
Q74: Does that mean that you were popular amongst your classmates?
 +
 +
A: Nope, I was only slightly popular (laughs)
 +
 +
Q75: There are lot of double-faces (NOCs) infiltrating the BO. How can they infiltrate SO easily? The BO doesn’t check their backgrounds?
 +
 +
A: You’re right. It’s very mysterious indeed. (laughs).
 +
 +
Q76: Kichiemon Samizu appears in Conan. You don’t intend to make a spin-off about him?
 +
 +
A: A spin-off? Ah… True… That could be interesting. He’s a very useful character.
 +
 +
Q77: You fulfilled your childhood dream of becoming a mangaka, right? Is there a next dream or dreams you want to fulfill?
 +
 +
A: Other dreams? Ah… I’d like to be director even if it’s a one-timer experience
 +
 +
Q78: Director of a Conan movie?
 +
 +
A: Indeed.
 +
 +
Q79: A live-action Conan film?
 +
 +
A: Ah… That would be neat.
 +
 +
Q80: What actors would you like to have in the casting?
 +
 +
A: Do you mean Conan’ actor? Hum… That’s a hard question. Hmmm…
 +
 +
Q81: What would happen if the story was written from Shinichi’s Pov?
 +
 +
A: Huh? But the story is Shinichi’s PoV to begin with. Ah. Do you mean if he hadn’t become Conan? If that’d been the case the series wouldn’t be this popular. (laughs)
 +
 +
Q82: Do you have any advice for people aspiring to become mangaka?
 +
 +
A: Hmmm… Let’s see… What should I say…? If you want to be mangaka then I think it’d be better for you to go to upper college, if possible. Why, you ask? Because you must be able to think of a good story. That’s what mangakas must do.
 +
 +
Q83: Will Dr. Araide appear once again? Did you wholly forget him?
 +
 +
A: Ah… Dr. Araide, huh… Until you asked me about him I’d forgotten about him.
 +
 +
Q84: Will a Conan videogame come out?
 +
 +
A: I think that there are already Conan videogames. There are several in Japan. But I don’t know if they’re as popular as Pokémon GO, though.
 +
 +
Q85: Did you parents support you in any manner when you decided to become a mangaka?
 +
 +
A: They didn’t support me. They were against the idea. But now they’re very thankful of my decision.
 +
 +
Q86: When did they thank you?
 +
 +
A: When I began to gain money from my activity. (laughs)
 +
 +
Q87:  Are there people who you invited into the world of manga?
 +
 +
A: There’s a senior from college who’s become a mangaka. That would be it.
 +
 +
Q88: Will Lupin meet Conan again?
 +
 +
A: Ah… I’ve heard people talk about that here and there
 +
 +
Q89: Which is your favorite (Conan) movie?
 +
 +
A: Hum… This year’s movie, I think…? It was good, wasn’t it? Of course it was… Hmmm… I think that, as you can see, it was impressive and cool.  Because I added a lot of corrections. (Laughs)
 +
 +
Q90: In the Phantom of Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes is depicted as Kudo Yuusaku instead of Conan. Is there a reason for that that (Why’ that)?
 +
 +
A: That way it gets more interesting, doesn’t it?
 +
 +
Q91: How much time were involved with the movie?
 +
 +
A: About a whole year. Maybe a year and a half.  We’re doing the meetings about the next year’s movie already.
 +
 +
Q92: Do you have plans of doing a collaboration with other characters of other stories like Harry Potter? (Have you actually approached their makers?)
 +
 +
A: * laughs * . Well… I wonder about that. Conan would be surprised if an owl landed on his arm. Well. If they actually happened I think they could be interesting to see.

=== Gosho NHK Interview about Sherlock Holmes ===
 +
June? 2017<br>
 +
Red Thread video link: https://www.facebook.com/DCTheRedThread/videos/1511205238931424/
 +
<spoiler>
 +
Aoyama's latest interview for NHK: he talks over his interest in the Sherlock Holmes' series and how he got inspiration from Conan Doyle's works to create his own characters. Guess what character was based off Moriarty? ;)
 +
 +
transaltion of info, thanks to Anime_Lover4869:
 +
 +
Gosho Aoyama first found out about Conan Doyle in elementary school, through the book "The Dancing Men".
 +
It seems he became obsessed over the code during that time.
 +
"It scared me but at the same time, the curiousity rose"
 +
"If I hadn't seen this, I probably wouldn't have written Conan"
 +
In his elementary school essay, he wrote that he wanted to be a manga writer before but now (as in that time) he wants to be a detective. But he doesn't have good physicality so he'll put both dreams together and write a manga about detectives. 🕵
 +
As you may already know, the town Beika is a spin-off of Baker and that Beika's "Bei" is the letter that also means rice. And that letter is similar to the Union Jack 🇬🇧
 +
Continuing on, they asked Gosho to name his top 3 characters in Holmes.
 +
He put James Moriarty as #3
 +
He said Moriarty is the ideal character for the Black Organization boss. Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show their face and works behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away
 +
Gosho says "I try to make it so that they (the boss) is cold-blooded, won't leave a single scrap of evidence, and almost invisible"
 +
He put Mycroft Holmes in #2
 +
Gosho says that he's smarter than Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist, which is also the same situation with Yusaku Kudo, Shinichi's father
 +
And lastly, he put Irene Adler as #1. Apparently, Haibara Ai's "Ai" is taken from Irene Adler's "I" which is similary pronounced

Magic Kaito Volume 5 – Playback Episode from Gosho Aoyama
 +
 +
Hi, it's Aoyama !
 +
Since a new volume of ''Magic Kaito'' came out, I have to delve into my memories from the past.
 +
 +
PHANTOM LADY
 +
 +
I wrote this story about Kaito's parents four years ago. I had stopped writing Magic Kaito for Conan and I thought : ''Wow, so much time has passed ?'' (laughs) If I recall correctly, his mother mutters ''Kaito, it's time for you to know'', and the story's finally here ! It's this story that finally revealed that Kaito's mother's name is ''Chikage''. It was my first time digitalizing a manuscript, I was glad I managed to portray the security sensor similar to phantom thieves stories so cooly, but I had to drew one night scenery after another, and that took time and so I almost didn't make it in a deadline. By the way, this story leads to Conan's Ryouma case, in volume 70. Read it if you're interested !
 +
 +
MIDNIGHT CROW
 +
 +
When it was decided to animate the series, I had a meeting with the animation staff. We asked ourselves ''How are we going to finish the story ?''. So I suggested : ''Why not do one about a black Kaitou Kid that would be published in the Sunday ?''. And that's how I wrote Midnight Crow. I will never forget the staff's face when I told them ''Actually, Touichi is alive'' (laughs)
 +
Ikeda-san, Touichi's voice actor, had difficulty saying the line ''When you come in contact with an audience, it's a scene of duel...'' quickly ! <3
 +
The ''sucker trick'' line comes from Kaito Kid's anime screenwriter Kunihiko Okada, who I thank very much. In the Phantom Lady chapter, Kaito's work as Kid was given by Chikage, but in Midnight Crow, he's supposed to quit because a lot happened in Las Vegas... but it's another story (laughs)
 +
 +
SUN HALO
 +
 +
This chapter was written to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Magic Kaito, so it had to be a love comedy <3 When I drew the chapter, Kaito's bike is a Suzuki GSX 250 R. I had forgotten that it was supposed to be broken, so I had Jii-chan say that a ''doctor friend'' helped him... I leave that to your imagination (laughs)
 +
Speaking of characters, Lucifer appears again ! As I thought, Akako uses red magic ! (Fortunately Akako doesn't exist in Conan's world (laughs)). The entrance hall in the chapter is based on Tottori's entrance hall, so please go there if you visit Tottori !
 +
By the way, in Sun Halo, Aoko rides the bike with Kaito !
 +
 +
NONCHALANT LUPIN
 +
 +
It's a short story I sent to a shounen magazine, and I got an award for it. As you can see, it was a prototype for ''Magic Kaito'' (laughs) The forms are different but there's no card gun. I drew this because the editor I had at that time told me : ''Show me a story you want to write''. It's my second work ! Now that I look back, I'm embarassed because it looks bad. (laughs)
 +
Anyway, the hero's name is Lupin, and the name of the story ''Nonchalant Lupin'', but I don't know where he's nonchalant... (laughs)

青山先生直撃インタビュー
 +
 +
Mr. Aoyama Direct Interview
 +
 +
2017年11月30日青山剛昌先生宅にて。
 +
 +
November 30th, 2017, Mr. Aoyama Gosho House.
 +
 +
サンデー３・４合併号にて「あの方」の正体がついに判明。週刊誌での漫画連載は一旦お休みしつつ、映画第22弾のコンテ確認作業を進めている青山剛昌先生に現在の心境などを直撃した。
 +
 +
In the [Shonen] Sunday Combined Issue #3-4, the identity of “That Person” has been finally established. I directly asked Mr. Aoyama Gosho about his mental state as he temporarily takes breaks from serializing the manga in the weekly magazine and he works on checking the storyboards from the 22nd movie.
 +
 +
今日はですね、「あの方」がついに指摘されたと言うことで、みんなが知りたいことをズバリ伺いさせて頂こうかなと思います。
 +
 +
Interviewer: Today “That person” was finally identified so I was thinking of asking you about things that everyone wants to know.
 +
 +
青山　はいはい（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: Yes, yes (laughs)
 +
 +
ダメな質問は上手くボカして頂けてればと。ちなみに同日にこないだ撮影させて頂いた動画（「サンデーうえぶり」上にてアプリ限定公開）も解禁します。
 +
 +
Interviewer: If you could please blur the bad questions… By the way… On the same day, that video that I recorded will be made public (“Sunday Webry” App Limited Publishing).
 +
 +
青山　へー、そうなんだ（笑）はいはい。
 +
 +
Aoyama: Huh, is that so? (laughs) Yes, yes.
 +
 +
まずは、その動画でも伺ったのですが、青山さんの今の心境としてはいかがでしょうか。
 +
 +
Interviewer: First things first… We also asked in the video, but can we assume that is your mental state, Mr. Aoyama?
 +
 +
青山　いやぁまぁ…いつか言わなきゃなぁと。ちょっと急ぎすぎるかなとは思ったけど、まぁいいかなぁと…結構ファンの間でも、アナグラムのヒント（90巻FILE 2）あたりから「＃＃じゃね」と言われていたし、これまでも年賀状で「＃＃ですか？」と聞いてくれる人がいてね。当たってるって返事書いちゃって良い？って、担当編集に聞いたんだけど「いや、それはちょっと…」と止められていてね（笑）あ、これインタビューにちゃんと書いといてね（笑）年賀状は他にも、早い段階で「領域外の妹」のこととか当ててる人がいて、その人たちには「当たってるよ、でも言わないでね（笑）」って書いたけど、＃＃に関しては全スルー。
 +
 +
Aoyama: Oh, well… I did think that I’d have to say it at some point. I did think that I was rushing a bit too much but that it wasn’t a bad idea… A lot of fans said “It’s ##” since they the anagram hint (Volume 90, File 2) and others asked me “Is it ##?” in the New Year’s Postcards. I tried asking the editor in charge “Can I answer telling them they met the mark?” but they stopped me saying “No, that’s a bit [too revealing]…” (laughs) Ah, make sure to write this on the interview (laughs) There were also other persons who guessed the identity of the “sister outside the domain” at a very early stage in the New Year’s Postcards and I answered them “You’ve met the mark but keep it a secret (laughs)” but I ignore all questions about ##.
 +
 +
ボスが「＃＃＃＃」って、決められたのはいつ頃ですか？
 +
 +
Interviewer: When did you decide that “####” was the Boss?
 +
 +
青山　いやぁもう…ちゃんと決めたのは３０巻だね。出てくるの30巻だから。ボス出してとかなきゃ（笑）思いまして…
 +
 +
Aoyama: Oh, well… I properly decided that in Volume 30. Since it appears on Volume 30. They have to appear as the “Boss” (laughs) Or so I thought…
 +
 +
ネットではまさに、「あの方」についていろんな予想が立てられましたが。
 +
 +
Interviewer: There’s a lot of conjectures on the net about “That Person”.
 +
 +
青山　ほうほう。
 +
 +
Aoyama: I see, I see
 +
 +
優作じゃないの、とか、光彦じゃないの、とか。
 +
 +
Interview: “Is it Yuusaku?”, “Is it Mitsuhiko?”, amongst others.
 +
 +
青山　えー、いやー（笑い）全然違いますよ、ぶぶぶって（笑）でもさすがに当ててくる人が増えてきたからね。
 +
 +
Aoyama: Eehh!? Nooo (laughs) They’re totally wrong. Beep (laughs) But there’s more people who’ve met the mark: it’s to be expected
 +
 +
担当編集も、30巻頃では、別に聞かされていなかったと思うんですが。
 +
 +
Interviewer: I thought that the editor in charge at the time of Volume 30 would’ve been specially told, though…
 +
 +
青山　えー、その時、誰かな、担当。
 +
 +
Aoyama: Eeh? Who was the editor in charge back then…?
 +
 +
4代目くらいですね。ちなみに、「あの方」という言葉が最初に出てきたのは24巻でジンが「あの方直々の命令だ…」というシーンです、その時から「組織にはボスがいる」と決められていたんですか？
 +
 +
Interviewer: It was the 4th one. By the way, the first time that the word “That Person” appeared was in the scene of Volume 24 when he says “It’s a direct order from That Person”. You’d already decided then that “The Organization has a Boss”?”
 +
 +
青山　ぶっちゃけ1巻から決めてたよ（笑）でも実はボスが（ピー）は、この24巻からかなぁ…。でもホンとは（ピー）なんだけどね（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: To be frank, I’d decided that ever since Volume 1 (laughs) But, actually the Boss being (beep) was from Volume 24, I think… But, in truth, it’s (beep) (laughs)
 +
 +
こないだ録らせて頂いた動画でも、＃＃にはまだ秘密があるとおっしゃってましたが。
 +
 +
Interviewer: In the video you allowed me to record a while ago, you did say that ## has some secret to them, but…
 +
 +
青山　めっちゃありますね（笑）だって（ピー）はボスの（ピー）だから（ピーピー）されて（ピー）なわけじゃん。このへん全部、「ピー」だね（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: They have tons of them (laughs) Because (beep) is the Boss’ (beep) so they were (beep beep) and they’re (beep). Put “beep” on all of this part (laughs)
 +
 +
ですね（笑）
 +
 +
Interviewer: Obviously (laughs)
 +
 +
青山　それはそれで面白いかもね（笑）おお、すげーこと言ってるって（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: That’s pretty fun (laughs). Oh, he’s saying some spectacular! (laughs)
 +
 +
これからもいろいろなるんだーって、思えますからね。ちなみに、＃＃と決められてからは、作中にヒントを出されたと思うんですが。やっぱり最初は「七つの子」ですか？
 +
 +
Interviewer: I do think that there’ll be a lot of those from now on, yes. By the way, ever since you decided it’d be ##, I think you’ve made some hints appear in the manga. Is “Seven Children” the first of them, like I thought?
 +
 +
青山　そうですね、まぁ、「七つの子」はカラスだしね…
 +
 +
Aoayama: True… Well, “Seven Children” is about crows, so…
 +
 +
あと、組織の正式名称と深い関わりが…と、インタビューでお答えになっていた…という情報を見たことがあり…　出典が定かではないですが（汗）
 +
 +
Interviewer: Also, that it’s deeply related to the Organization’s official name… Or so you answered in an interview… I’ve seen such information… But the source isn’t clear (sweats)
 +
 +
青山　なんだって？そんなの有ったっけ… 組織の名前？そんなこと言ったかな…
 +
 +
Aoyama: What did you say? Was there such a thing…? The Organizations’ name? Did I say that..?
 +
 +
組織の名前って、決まってるんですか？
 +
 +
Interviewer: Have you decided on the Organization’s name?
 +
 +
青山　うん（ピーピー）が（ピー）なんですよ。
 +
 +
Aoyama: Yes (beep-beep) is (beep), see.
 +
 +
素敵な…
 +
 +
Interviewer: Fantastic…
 +
 +
青山　うん、そう、でもボスの名前…？それはあまり関係ないかな。
 +
 +
Aoyama: Yes, true, but the boss’ name…? I think it’s not too related…
 +
 +
ちなみに、ネットでは、「やはり阿笠博士では」とか「FBIのジェイムズ・ブラックでは」といろいろな説が流れていましたが…
 +
 +
Interview: By the way, there’s several theories flowing in the net like “Maybe it’s indeed the Professor?” or “James Black from the FBI?”…
 +
 +
青山　めっちゃ違いますね（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: They’re totally wrong (laughs)
 +
 +
阿笠は青山さんが、以前に正式に否定されていて、それだと物語が美しくないと…
 +
 +
Interviewer: You officially denied Agasa before, but some say that then the story isn’t beautiful…
 +
 +
青山　美しくないというか、面白くないというか…それだといままでの博士のいい話が全部ダメになっちゃうじゃん。でもほら、ベルモットと対決するところで「いかん新一くん！」って言ってビートルで駆けつけたじゃん（笑）あれでボスじゃないってオレとしては描いたつもりだったんだけど…
 +
 +
Aoyama: That’s it’s not beautiful, that it’s not interesting… Were it to be case, all the good episodes the Professor had would have been in vain. But, see… When [Conan] faced Vermouth, he said “No good, Shinichi-kun!” and rushed there with his Beetle (laughs). My intention when I drew that is that he wasn’t the Boss, but…
 +
 +
たしかに。
 +
 +
Interviewer: True.
 +
 +
青山　なのにみんな、まだまだ「ボスじゃね」って言ってたからね（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: But despite that they all kept saying “He’s the Boss”, so… (laughs)

あとは、＃＃は作中では死んだはず、となっていますが…
 +
 +
Interviewer: Also, ## is supposed to be dead in the manga, but…
 +
 +
青山　あー、そうね、それは言えませんね（笑）それはのちのち…
 +
 +
Aoayama: Ah, true… I can’t talk about that (laughs) In due time…
 +
 +
ですよね、聞いた限りでは、この先も大変壮大なお話ですから…
 +
 +
Interviewer: Obviously. From what you’ve told me, from now it’ll be a very grand story, so…
 +
 +
青山　まぁ、ボスの名前があきらかになっても、まだまだ「コナン」は謎が多いってことですよ（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: Well, even if the Boss’ name has become clear, there’s still a lot of mysteries in “Conan” (laughs)

 +
 +
青山さんは、毎回担当者に伏線を説明をするのが大変とおっしゃいます…
 +
 +
Interviewer: You say that it’s a lot of trouble to explain the foreshadowing to each editor in charge when they change…
 +
 +
青山　うん（笑）何か思い出したけど、ハッキリ言ったのは、9代目担当の時かも知れないな（笑）黒幕までは、それまではうすらぼんやり担当に伝えて「とにかくオレに任せとけよ」って思ってたような。担当が聞いて感動してて、「凄い良く出来てますね！」って言ってたから（笑）それを覚えてる。
 +
 +
Aoyama: Yes (laughs) I remember something, though… I clearly told one of them, I think the 9th one, for all I know (laughs) I dimly told him up to the mastermind and he seemingly thought “Just leave it up to me”. The editor in charge heard it, got emotional and said “it’s a wonderful work!” (laughs) That much I remember.
 +
 +
今回のお話では、ラムの正体や動きにも注目です。今回、安室さんに連絡してますし、それも大きな情報なので…
 +
 +
Interviewer: Rum’s identity and movements are also a point to focus upon in this episode. They’ve contacted Amuro-san and it’s very big info, so…
 +
 +
青山　ですね（笑）急展開だよね。
 +
 +
Aoyama: Indeed (laughs) It’s a sudden development
 +
 +
ちなみに、青山さんの近況としましては…
 +
 +
Interviewer: By the way, what about your recent status…?
 +
 +
青山　「艦これ」イベント「甲」でクリアしました（笑）今回はいままでで一番大変だった（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: I cleared the “Kan Colle” even with “Kou (Shell)” (laughs) It was the hardest insofar (laughs)
 +
 +
お気持ちとしては…
 +
 +
Interviewer: What about your feelings…?
 +
 +
青山　そりゃ嬉しいよ（笑）「矢矧」も出たし！これでコンプリート！
 +
 +
Aoyama: I’m glad, of course (laughs) “Yahagi” also appeared! Now I’ve completed it!
 +
 +
おめでとうございます！
 +
 +
Interviewer: Congratulations!
 +
 +
青山　もうこのインタビュー早く終わらせて「矢矧」育てたい（笑）やっぱりセリフがいいんですよ、矢矧。大破したときにさ…「私を沈めたいなら、魚雷５，６本くらい撃ち込まないと、駄目よ」…って、みんな、持ってた人たちはこれ聞いてたんだなと、かっこいい！
 +
 +
Aoyama: I want to finish this interview already and raise “Yahagi” (laughs) Yahagi’s lines are very good, indeed. When she gets seriously damaged… “If you want to sink me you’ll need to shoot 5-6 torpedoes at me, else you won’t be able to”… To think that all people who had her could hear to these… Cool!
 +
 +
2年…3年ぐらい欲しがってらっしゃいましたよね。
 +
 +
Interviewer: You said that you’d wished to get her since 2-3 years ago.
 +
 +
青山　いやもっと長いだと思うけどな…ずーっと「矢矧」だけ出なかった。建造で出るんですけど、１００回以上チャンレンジしたけど出なかったからね。今回のイベント（2017年秋）で、ドロップしてビックリした。E-3…E-3の前半のボスかな…？
 +
 +
Aoyama: No, I think it’s been longer… “Yahagi” never popped out. She pops out by construction but even though I did over 100 challenges she didn’t pop out. I was surprised that she was a “drop” in this event (Autumn 2017). E-3… Was is it the Boss of the E-3 first half…?
 +
 +
で、「艦これ」やりながらいまは「ツムツム」もなさってますが…
 +
 +
Interviewer: And you’re also playing “Tsum Tsum” alongside “Kan Colle”…
 +
 +
青山　あーそう！「ツムツム」夢中です。オレのお気に入りのツムは「ピターパン」です（笑）強いから（笑い）
 +
 +
Aoyama: Ah, true! I’m crazy about “Tsum Tsum”. My favorite “Tsum” is “Peter Pan” (laughs) He’s strong (laughs)
 +
 +
ちなみにいま「ツムツム」では何万点くらい出されてますか。
 +
 +
Interviewer: By the way, how many 10000s of points do you have in “Tsum Tsum”?
 +
 +
青山　300万点いかなくらいだね、いまのところそれが限界です（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: I think it’s below 3,000,000 points. That’s my current limit (laughs)
 +
 +
あと、映画のコンテを例年通りか、それ以上にしっかりとご覧になっていますが…
 +
 +
Interviewer: Also, I can see that the movie storyboards look like the usual ones but greater, even…
 +
 +
青山　あーそう！がっつりやった！ちなみに次回の映画は、クライマックスでコナンくんが安室に「え！？」っていうことを聞くので、お見逃しなく（笑）安室ファンはみんな気になってることだろうからねぇ…それね、インタビューに書いてくれていいけど、高山さんにはもう言っちゃいました（笑）コナンくんのこういうセリフがあるよって（笑）「わかった」って言ってた（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: Ah, yes! I did them with all my might! By the way, in the next movie’s climax… Conan-kun is told something by Amuro that makes him reply “Huh!?” so don’t miss it (laughs) Amuro fans must be curious about that… You can write that in the interview, but I already told Takayama-san about it (laughs) That’s there this line by Conan, that is (laughs) And she said “Gotcha” (laughs)
 +
 +
（笑）わかりました、ではファンの方へのメッセジーとしてはこれからも、漫画も映画も続いてくと言うことですよろしいでしょうか。
 +
 +
Interviewer: (laughs) Understood. Then should I say that your message towards the fan is that the manga and movies will still go on?
 +
 +
青山　そうですね、いまちょっと休んでますけど、充電を兼ねてますんで…
 +
 +
Aoyama: Indeed, I’m resting a bit now but I’m also recharging energies so…
 +
 +
体調も万全になってからと言うことで…
 +
 +
Interviewer: This should be better said when one’s at top condition…
 +
 +
青山　そうだね、今後はちょっと作画中の3時間睡眠はやめるかも（笑）なんで、ペースは遅くなっちゃうかもだけど、これならいけるかもとういうのがつかめたらはじめますんで、それまで待って下さい（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: True. I might stop having 3-hour sleep during work (laughs). So the pace might slow down but until I begin to get a grip of “this works”: please wait until then (laughs)
 +
 +
あと、今回、青山さんが「本当の原稿」を描いているところを動画で録らせて頂きましたが…ダミーではなく本物の原稿を描かれるのは珍しいと思いますが…
 +
 +
Interviewer: Also, Mr. Aoyama, you allowed me to record you while drawing the “true manuscript” but… I think it’s unusual for you to draw a true manuscript and not a dummy…
 +
 +
青山　あー！そうだね、NHKの番組で、カラーの原稿を描いたときは、本物だったけど漫画の原稿が初めてかもな。
 +
 +
Aoyama: Ah! True, when I drew a color manuscript for the NHK program it was a true manuscript but I guess it’s the first time I do that with a manga manuscript.
 +
 +
丸ペンを使われましたけど…
 +
 +
Interviewer: You used a mapping pen, though…
 +
 +
青山 あー！そう！タッチの部分は丸ペン。あれはピグマだと出ないから…オレは元々Gペンや丸ペンを使ってたから、ミリペンを使っても強弱のついた線が描けるけど、いきなり最初からミリペンだと強弱のない、つるんとした絵になっちゃうんで、これから漫画家を目指す新人さんはホンとはGペンや丸ペンで絵を描き慣れといた方がいいよと、書いといてね（笑い）
 +
 +
Aoyama: Ah! True! The touch section is a mapping pen. Pigmas don’t achieve that… I originally used G Pens and mapping pens, so even if I used a millipen I can draw lines with strength, yet… If I suddenly use a millipen from the start, it becomes smooth pictures without strength, so write that any newbies aiming to become mangaka should get used to drawing with G Pens or mapping pens (laughs)
 +
 +
はい（笑い）というわけで…大変貴重なインタビューをありがとうございました。あとなんか、青山さん的に近況の言い残しはありますか？
 +
 +
Interviewer: Yes (laughs) And so… Thank you very much for this very important interview. Is there something else you want to say about your recent status, Mr. Aoyama?
 +
 +
青山　あ、「ドラクエ１１」で、ボスを倒して最初のエンデイングまで見た。（現在、裏ボスを倒すべくレベル上げ中）
 +
 +
Aoyama: Ah, I beat the boss in “Dragon Quest 11” and saw the first ending (now I’m leveling up to face the secret boss)
 +
 +
そういえば漫画では「3月のライオン」を再度読破されて、ドラマだと「刑事ゆがみ」にハマってらっしゃいますね。
 +
 +
Interviewer: Speaking of which… You finished re-reading the manga “The March Lion” and you’re into the drama series “Policeman Yugami”, right?
 +
 +
青山　アニメだと「宝石の国」だな、あれいい！面白い！スタッフの中にオレと同じ大学のサークルでアニメ作ってたやつがいるし（笑）（泉津井陽一（センツイヨウイチ）さん）あのアニメ、声優さんもいい！主人公が「響け！ユーフォニアム」の黄前ちゃんなんだよね〜（黒沢ともよさん）
 +
 +
Aoyama: As for anime, I like “Jewels Kingdom”, it’s good! It’s fun! Amongst the staff there’s a guy from the same college circle as me that made anime (laughs) (Mr. Sentsui Youichi) The anime and voice actors are good! The main protagonist is Oumae-chan from “Sound! Euphonium” (Ms. Kurosawa Tomoyo)
 +
 +
いまはそのへんにハマってらっしゃるととういうことで…ありがとうございました！
 +
 +
Interviewer: So that’s what you’re into lately, then… Thank you very much!
 +
 +
青山　はいはい（笑）
 +
 +
Aoyama: Yes, yes (laughs)

Profile:

 +
Mangaka / Author of "Detective Conan"
 +
 +
Originary from Tottori Prefecture. Mangaka debut in 1986. "YAIBA" and "Detective Conan" prized with Shogakukan Manga Award. Also serializing the "Magic Kaito" series.
 +
 +
In 2017, the total publication amount of "Detective Conan" overcame 200 million units.
 +
 +
Page 1
 +
 +
Q: "How did you decide that Amuro Tooru would be the main character in "Zero the Enforcer", this year's installment?"
 +
 +
A: "It all started from a suggestion by Sakurai-san, the scriptwriter, it wasn't my idea.
 +
 +
He said he wanted to do a tale about cyber-terrorism and he asked me "if it's cyber-terrorism, then the PSB will get involved, can I make Amuro appear?". It'd only been 1 film since "The Darkest Nightmare" so I did think it was a bit too early to do so but I also though that it would work. Amuro-kun's popular, after all (laughs)."
 +
 +
Q: "What are the highlights of this move?"
 +
 +
A: "The final action scene, and the talk between Conan and Amuro in the climax!"
 +
 +
Q: "In which parts were you involved?"
 +
 +
A: "In the story and a bit of storyboard fixes. I also helped a bit with the keyframes. The first version of the story it was very hard and led to heavy happenings. It turned into a "Amuro's become evil?" feeling, so we made it a bit softer. The first heavy story was interesting, too. Had a hard mystery feeling to it.  The culprit got caught but "the truth darkness hasn't been dispelled" feeling. But I thought that wasn't something we should in Conan.
 +
 +
So we made some things a bit light-hearted. Also, until we settled on using cyber-terrorism as theme we also though of tricks involving food poisoning but they were discarded very early. We felt that the motive was too small (laughs)
 +
 +
I also voiced my opinion on the climax and other scenes and had them add scenes I wanted to see. Also, the scene between Amuro and Kuroda, for example, has elements from the anime so I look forward to how it ends up looking."
 +
 +
Q: "What were your demands to the new director, Director Tachikawa?"
 +
 +
A: "We were very detailed when we met to talk about the action scenes planning, but we didn't go so over the details when we were in the storyboard stage. There wasn't much storyboard fixing this time around. But sometimes I sent him a photo over LINE telling him "we should fix this one". (continues on Page 2)
 +
 +
Page 2:
 +
 +
A: "We didn't have too many long phone calls either. Talking over LINE was sufficient (laughs).
 +
 +
Q: "What kind of conversation you had with Furuya Tooru-san, Amuro Tooru's VA?"
 +
 +
A: "We didn't talk about the movie but I did have a meal with him in the past. Said his daughter is a great fan of Kaitou Kid. Also he did play the role of Tuxedo Mask (Sailor Moon), didn't he? I guess that he probably thinks that I used his character as model to draw Kaitou Kid. But it's actually the inverse, Kaitou Kid came before Tuxedo Mask. "Magic Kaito" is a old, Showa Period manga.
 +
 +
(See Note 1) When I told him that he was disappointed, I guess that he wanted to brag to his daughter "I'm the the model for Kaitou Kid", no? (laughs). Well, it's but my speculation so... I apologize if I'm mistaken (laughs)
 +
 +
 +
I also told him that Amuro Tooru's true name is Furuya Rei and he replied "Sensei! That's overdoing it!" to which I replied "No, see, the "Rei" is actually "Zero" due to some reasons" and he was like "Huh!?"."
 +
 +
Q: "I want to ask about Kazami Yuuya, who's also appeared in the manga.
 +
 +
A: "He's very popular. There were a lot of fan letters after "The Darkest Nightmare" asking me to "Please make Kazami appear!" so I went like "fine, fine". "Let's make him show up!". Wondering if that would do (laughs)
 +
 +
I think that the anime staff decided on his name. He's a subordinate of Amuro so he was Camille. At first he had a long and crumpled hair but I didn't understand what they meant by Camille, so they said "he doesn't look like PSB", and that someone with a bad nature was better. And so his design was remade and ended up like that. I don't watch "Z Gundam" too often. The first [season] of Gundam is the best, in my opinion. Hence why I didn't make the connection. I'm really sorry (laughs)."
 +
 +
Q: "I want to ask about Kazami's and Amuro's roles"
 +
 +
A: "To make it clear that Amuro's the great one, Amuro is on the elite section of the NPA, and Kazami belongs to the Police HQ's PSB which is a lower rank. I think Sakurai-san was the one who suggested for Kazami to be older than Amuro.
 +
 +
As for Amuro's career, he was in the same class as Matsuda and Date. Scotch also was in the same class. They all died but they were cool types.
 +
 +
And Scotch was Amuro's childhood friend. Because, you see, he called him "Zero". And that was nickname of Amuro when he was a kid. I'll have to draw that, indeed."
 +
 +
Note 1: "The author of "Sailor Moon" , Takeuchi Naoko-sensei, was told that Tuxedo Mask's model was Kaitou Kid and was glad about it (From the "Aoyama Gosho 30th Anniversary Book").
 +

 +
 +
Page 3:
 +
 +
Q: "I wanted to ask about Conan's first spin-off, "Culprit Hanazawa-san"..."
 +
 +
A: "At first, the person in charge showed me the name and asked me "this is the name, will it be OK?". So I replied "Oh, sure. Perfectly OK.". Thought it was fun. I had a meal with Kanba-sensei after that. I told him "feel free to do anything you want to do". Kanba-sensei's hometown is Shimane Prefecture, which is next to Tottori so he's also close to my hometown.
 +
 +
The persons who appear are suspicious, Ran-chan's hairstyle, and her horn popping from the middle are fun. I thought it was good to give off a "imposter" feeling. It's pretty good, and fun."
 +
 +
Q: "What about your health, and when will [the manga] resume?"
 +
 +
A: "Thank you for your concern, I feel very good. I get a feeling of "get to work already!". I think there'll be good news soon enough.
 +
 +
I want to write a long story about Detective Chiba and Naeko-chan as well after the manga resumes. With the feeling of "Bayside Shakedown", I'd say. Please look forward to it."
 +
 +
Q: "Please give us a message for Conan fans as conclusion of the interview."
 +
 +
A: "Both those who know Amuro and those who don't know him... Those who don't know him, they'll know what kind of man he is, and those who know him will get to know him a bit deeper. So please go see the movie.
 +
 +
Also, Amuro will be appearing a lot in the manga in the future. Since he was told to "Investigate about Kudo Shinichi", it's inevitable for him to get involved. Look forward to it, too!"
 +
 +
Sign: "Detective Conan Cinema Magazine 2018. Aoyama Gosho."
 +
 +
Bottomost right note: "Sensei drew Conan & Amuro for the magazine. He quickly makes a sketch with pencils, and adds a magic pen without any hesitation. It'd seem he's drawing a lot of cuts of Amuro often.
 +
 +
He jokingly said "If you make a blonde with squat eyes and dark-skinned there you have Amuro (laughs)"

Profile:
 +
 +
Amuro Tooru / Rei Furuya VA
 +
 +
Originary from Kanazawa Prefecture. His representatives works are "Mobile Suit Gundam" as Amuro Ray, "Star of the Giants" as Hoshi Hyuuma, "Saint Seiya" as Pegasus Seiya, "Dragon Ball" as Yamcha, "Sailor Moon" as Tuxedo Mask amongst others.
 +
 +
Page 1:
 +
 +
Q: "Will Amuro Tooru, in the 22nd movie "Zero the Enforcer" become a main character?"
 +
 +
A: "No way. It's 2 years after "The Darkest Nightmare" so I think it's too early to say that he's become a main character (laughs). Personally, I was very glad and surprised, I have both of those feelings.
 +
 +
I didn't know anything about the contents, and at first it was that trailer with the countdown included in "The Crimson Love Letter" so I thought it'd be a movie with hard content."
 +
 +
Q: "What's your impression ever since you read the script?"
 +
 +
A: "It was a bit different from what I'd imagined. Amuro does his job as PSB officer to face organized terrorism against Japan and heads straight forward. And then Conan-kun would get involved. That's how I thought it'd be like.
 +
 +
But as I did the trailers and the teasers, that was before I got the script so I eventually began to understand the contents. I firstly though "Huh? He's going to be enemies with Conan?". Despite that in the main story we finally got to know he was an ally of Conan, so I thought that them being enemies now would draw Conan fans away... I felt a bit of danger, actually (laughs).
 +
 +
But I did think that that wouldn't be the end of things, and there women who feel attracted to bad guys so maybe it would be good for them to be enemies when seen from that perspective.
 +
 +
There are people who like Bourbon, so I expected that the charm of a cool Furuya Rei would further increase in this movie as well. I didn't think that it'd show details about the state of things within the police, though.
 +
 +
Q: "What points do you have to respectively act his 3 faces of Amuro Tooru, Furuya Rei and Bourbon?"
 +
 +
A: "In the case of Amuro Tooru, working at the Poirot part-time, I take into account the image that he behaves like a kind guy and is an attractive young man. Conan knows his identity, but when there are other Detective Boys present, he acts as if he was but a strong and young detective. That's how I voice him like. I use a bit of a higher tone of voice, with a soft feeling.
 +
 +
In the case of Furuya Rei, he's a worker and a pro so I voice him in a sharp and edgy manner. To give out a dark feeling I make a lower tone of voice. There also times in which he gives out orders to Kazami, so there are parts in which he turns stricter. I add changes in scenes like those.
 +
 +
Speaking of voice tones, I use the lowest one when I voice him as Bourbon. Vermouth and he have a grip of each others' weaknesses so it's a bit special yet when he talks to Gin or similar scenes I use a very low tone.
 +
 +
Also, when it comes to Akai Shuichi, he's got a feud with him involving what happened with Scotch so he clearly hates him. His emotions get the best of him. When he faced Akai, he behaves like a kid. So when Akai is around he unusually brings out his emotions in a straightforward way.
 +
 +
When reading the movie's script, when he moves around as Furuya Rei, and when he talks to Conan...  I thought that it would be better to use Amuro's voice for those scenes. When I had to act scenes as Furuya Rei, I wrote the "Kou" kanji from "kouan (Public Safety)" on my copy of the script and when it was Amuro Tooru I wrote "an". So they overlapped with "kouan" and was hard to understand even for me, so I wrote the katakana "A". I distributed them in the script as much as I could.
 +
 +
Q: "What's the charm of Amuro Tooru, in your opinion?"
 +
 +
(Continues to page 2)
 +
 +
Page 2:
 +
 +
A: "Hmmm... He has 3 faces so I guess he's 3 times more handsome than normal people (laughs).
 +
His 3 faces are the first of his charms. So even though I'm acting a single character, I can experience being 3 persons at the same time and acting 3 persons. That's a charm yet it has difficult parts to it so I feel like it's worth doing it.
 +
 +
It was fun voicing the 3 of them but I really like Furuya Rei. He feels like a hero of justice. Apart from action, he's also good with his driving technique. He often has cool lines to him, and like in this occasion, I was able to voice him a lot in the movie, since he doesn't appear that often. So I'm very glad at it."
 +
 +
Q:"Can you tell us anything that happened during the dubbing?"
 +
 +
A:"Takayama Minami-san (Conan) and Yamakazi Wakana-san (Ran) encouraged me a lot and were glad at Amuro's popularity, and Yamazaki-san said, about the movie, that "Amuro-san, you're sure to get a lot of new fans!".Minami-san did ask "This is about that person and that other person?", when checking uncertain lines and scenes...
 +
 +
In the interactions with Conan during the climax has a lot of action so ad-libbing becomes needed and it's hard to coordinate them but when we did the first test we matched things perfectly despite no previous meeting to coordinate things. Our sensibility as voice actors is similar, I guess. Weren't that the case, we wouldn't have been able to synchro the timing so perfectly. I was really surprised.
 +
 +
The climax scenes lines were also good, and so the Suzuki Sonoko VA Matsui Naoko-san was very happy at it, and said "Your pierced through my heart!" (laughs)"
 +
 +
I was a bit unsure how to voice Amuro's lines on the movie's climax, and unexpectedly enough, during the tests, I made a strong tone of voice that wasn't what I had on mind, and Naoko-san was very glad so I told my "Oh yeah, this is it" to convince myself it was good enough. I had the feeling to act along with Minami-san and that's the voice that came out during the dubbing.
 +
 +
Q: "You've had a long career. Yet how do you feel about acting a popular character like Amuro Tooru?"

A: "I'm really happy at it. I've been a VA for over 50 years, but, for me, it's the first time that a lot of fans had gotten crazy about a character I voiced, crazy over Amuro Tooru.
 +
 +
Amuro Ray also has popularity, yeah, but he couldn't beat Char to it (laughs). I often voice the main protagonists of series and so the rival character often gets the attention drawn to him. Nowadays you can see the encouragement through SNS, I like how a lot of followers appear in Twitter, and I'm very surprised at his popularity.
 +
 +
Between the Amuro fans, there are some who bought a real white FX-7 (see Note 1). He also makes incredible driving in this film, but whenever the co-stars crash they get severely told "you're wasting the tax money!" (laughs).
 +
 +
Q: "Amuro Tooru appeared on Volume 75 of the manga, he appears in the latter half of the story, but were you surprised by the naming at the time of this debut?"
 +
 +
A: "We were fans of "Detective Conan" to begin with. My daughter, especially. We often went to the theater to see the movie together.
 +
 +
I knew that Ikeda Shuichi-san voiced Akai Shuichi, so I did feel that "the author, Aoyama-sensei, really likes Gundam". I secretly hoped that "maybe one day I'll be offered a role". And when "it finally came" I was "Huh? Amuro Tooru?" when I heard his name. "There's barely any difference (with my name)!".
 +
 +
And later, when his real name of Furuya Rei was revealed, I went "Hey, sensei. Didn't you overdo it!?". I did really comment upon those. Around that time I also got a chance to have a lunch with Aoyama-sensei so we brought colored papers and we got each other's signatures, but then... "No, there's a proper meaning to the "Rei" in his name"... That it mean the "Zero" division in the Public Safety Police and things neatly linked together.
 +
 +
But he really loved "Mobile Suit Gundam", and seeing how he uses our names as VAs in his work, I feel very thankful to him. I feel very glad, he even added the car plate... (Note 2)
 +
 +
Q: "Last question. What are the highlights of "Zero The Enforcer"?"
 +
 +
A: "In this movie, there's the "way adult men do things" plus "charm" as the themes I acted upon. There are several scenes that make you feel that, so I hope that you will savor them.
 +
 +
Anyway, there's "Numbers very dear to me which I must protect even if I bet my life on it" (laughs) so I hope you go to see it several times, and that you fully experience the charm of Amuro Tooru. There's also the lines in the car that Sonoko-san accmails as well and which I want you to focus on. Counting on you guys."

Caption of pic:
 +
 +
"Great driving by Furuya (Rei) that Furuya (Tooru) - san likes. In the "Darkest Nightmare" the car drifts in the beginning by Amuro (Furuya), Akai and Curacao are reality!"
 +
 +
Note 1: "A Matsuda RX-7 which isn't produced anymore at the present. The serial number of the Gundam, RX-78, comes from here."
 +
 +
Note 2: "Amuro's car number plate is 73-10, Mr. Furuya's birthday is July 31, and has a 0 to match the "Zero" nickname.

Profile:
 +
 +
Edogawa Conan VA
 +
 +
Originary from Tokyo Metropolitan Area. Her representative works are "Kiki's Delivery Service" as Kiki / Ursula, "Rantaro" as Inadera Rantarou, "YAIBA" as Kurogane Yaiba, "Ranma 1/2" as Tendo Nabiki, "Moomin" as Moomintroll amongst others.
 +
 +
Q: "What's your first impression of the 22nd Detective Conan Movie, "Zero The Enforcer"?"
 +
 +
A: "Good point. When I firstly read the script, I did think "Ah, maybe this story is a bit too complicated". If you see a lot of police dramas like I do, I think one would understand the existence and roles of the "Public Safety Police" and "Prosecution" but for those who don't see them and for children, I was like "would they understand it?". That was my first impression.
 +
 +
But by when we finished the dubbing, the impression changed a bit. If you properly listen to what the characters say during the story, I think you'll be able to understand it."
 +
 +
Q:"The movie's plot revolves around "Amuro is an enemy?". What did you think about Amuro Tooru or Furuya Rei? What are you impressions of Kazami Yuuya and Kuroda Hyoue?"
 +
 +
A: "I did think that I wanted to prove that Amuro-san "isn't the enemy". Kazami-san appeared 2 movies ago, in "The Darkest Nightmare" but in this movie you get to know his relationship in the PSB with Furuya-san. He'll also appeared in the TV series in the future as well, I think.
 +
 +
Superintendent Kuroda makes his movie debut in this movie. Whenever he appears in the TV series he's totally suspicious (laughs). He's as suspicious as always, but for some reason he doesn't feel dangerous. He probably is (exposes her deduction) ...or so i think. What I told you is still secret, though (laughs)."
 +
 +
Q: "How about the dubbing work?"
 +
 +
A: "It went very smoothly, and we finished it on that day. We almost took until past the peak (12:00 AM) but human drama was the axis so we focused on each one's lines and the tempo was good."
 +
 +
Q: "How about your work together with Furuya Tooru-san?"
 +
 +
A: "We didn't do much consulting about how we would perform the dubbing so but there was a point that Furuy-san asked "it's **, right?". "Yes, I think this is **.", "Thought so!".  That was the confirmation we took with each other. We also check with each other the points that picked us in our lines.
 +
 +
Truth is, when I made my debut, since I was playing a boy, I used Furuya-san's acting as a boy as reference.  Of course, I can't act like he did but I did wonder what a "boy" is like? So I tried to get the gist from his voice acting. So, secretly, inside of my heart, I thought of him as my "teacher" (laughs). In the dubbing, I am always allowed to practice with my "teacher".  He's a big senior with whom I can work very well so it was very fun.
 +
 +
Q: "What's your impression of the new Director, Director Tachikawa?"
 +
 +
A: "We got friendly very soon and I called him "Tacchi" (laughs). After the dubbing, I asked him "What's the genre you're apt at?". And he replied "I am apt at action, but... I guess human drama is it.". That's shown in this movie, indeed! He's a young director, but he gouges out the deep parts of humans.
 +
 +
Since it involves deductions, I think that human dramas are very important. The deduction of the culprit, the actions of the cornered party, must be things that "humans do" or the whole thing will fail.
 +
 +
The way the action scenes are scattered is good, but, if you don't properly depict "the human part", the story feels dull... There's been a lot of similar human drama in Conan movies insofar but this time around it felt "really hot".  I think this is the director's tastes.
 +
 +
I act on it, so you feel that it's a character with "body heat, and feels related to", that's a must have creed. You can hear the heart's sound, they breathe, they're not limited to the 2-d of the screen or the scene, it feels "alive", that's how I like to voice characters. So I like hot dramas like this one."
 +
 +
Q: "The identity of "That Person" has been made public in the manga already, yet...?"
 +
 +
A: "True. Truth is, during the recording of "The Darkest Nightmare", we casting (about 20 of us, was it?) tried to predict "Who's That Person?". When looking at the answer sheet I'd kept sealed since then, it had an accuracy rate of 25%! It'd seem I checked a lot of things during breaks (laughs).
 +
 +
I also showed it to Aoyama-sensei, who'd come to see the dubbing. His reply was "What, they all know who it is!" (laughs).  By the way, my answer was wrong.
 +
 +
Sensei had let out hints before, and Karasuma Renya's name had considerably popped up but I ended up reading too much into the thing and wrote someone else as my reply to the question."
 +
 +
Q: "Last question: what are the movie's highlights?"
 +
 +
A: "In this 22nd movie, prosecution, police, and PSP... It's a story in which a lot of words you don't normally hear pop up.
 +
Also, in the interactions between characters, there are some crucial points as well so pay close attention and enjoy it until the very end without taking your eyes off the screen. It's a very, very exciting human drama.
 +
 +
One last thing to finish, "Amuro-san is someone incredible."."

Director Tachikawa
 +
 +
Profile: Born in 1981. He revealed the "Death Billiards" which was his original idea, script and direction at the "Anime Mirai" of the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2013. It was made into an anime named "Death Parade". He also directed "Mob Psycho 100".
 +
 +
Q:"How were you appointed to direct this movie?"
 +
 +
A:"In a raising program from the Agency for Cultural Affairs aimed at young animators I directed a serious film named "Death Billiards" and the judge in charge at the time was the "Detective Conan" Producer, Suwa (Michihiko) - san. He bought a lot of the stuff I made. And he asked me to "Direct the 22nd Movie". "
 +
 +
Q: "What's your impression of "Detective Conan"?"
 +
 +
A: "I first came into contact with Conan around Elementary... Or High... Or Middle. I loved to read it as a normal reader but there was 1 time I stopped reading. I came into contact with it again once I became a producer. When I got told to be the director of this movie, I re-read again from the part I'd seen years before."
 +
 +
Q: "What are the parts you put most detail or attention to as the movie's director?"
 +
 +
A: "To not to omit any of the good points that Conan had had insofar. The relations between characters are very interesting. So I took especially care and detail in character depiction. And this movie was more suspense-touch than the usual. The PSB is a main actor and the feeling's more serious. It's made so that if people who like mystery dramas see it then I think they will enjoy it."
 +
 +
Q:"What's your favorite character?"
 +
 +
A: "Haibara Ai, Professor Agasa, Mouri Kogoro, Hattori Heiji and Detective Takagi... I'd say. To avoid coming off as faulty, I also like Conan as well. But I rather like the famed side-characters who support the work. As well as the actual actors. So my preferences aim over there."
 +
 +
Q: "What's your vision of Amuro Tooru as as director?"
 +
 +
A: "I thought that fans would like his mysterious parts so we paid a lot of attention when depicting those. But I also wanted to show Amuro's house as well. I like those parts that reveal one's true nature. I think that it shouldn't be done, but, I also wanted to do a scene of him bathing in the bath."
 +
 +
Q:"What's your favorite film?"
 +
 +
A: "The first films remain in my memory... "The Time-bombed Skyscraper", "Countdown to Heaven", "The Phantom of Baker Street". I was by Producer Ishiyama (Keichi) -san that "it really looks like the balance in Director Kodama Kenji's (see note 1) works". I didn't have it on mind, truth to be told, but I do like the initial Conan so that's why it ended up like that, or so I think.
 +
 +
Q: "Last question. What are the highlights of the movie?"
 +
 +
A: "This movie mainly focuses on Amuro Tooru so there's a lot of cool scenes. Also, his gestures of combing up his hair or after he gets hurt... There's a lot of scenes showing aspects of him one normally doesn't see. So I hope you have a good look at the film while enjoying those day-to-day scenes."
 +
 +
Note 1: "Director Kodama Kenji directed Conan Movie 1 to 7"
 +
 +
Scriptwriter Sakurai:
 +
 +
Profile:
 +
 +
Born in 1970. Scriptwriter. He also was a movie producer at Toho. While he was in office, he received the 1st Yomiuri TV Scenario Great Award. He then became a freelancer scriptwriter. His representative works are the "Aibou (Pal)" TV series and the "Forensic Researcher Woman" TV series.
 +
 +
Q:"This is the 4th movie the script of which you write up after the 17th movie "Private Eye in the Distant Seas", the 19th movie "Sunflowers of Inferno" and the 20th movie, "The Darkest Nightmare". How did you begin to get involved with Conan and how did you receive the offer for this project?"
 +
 +
A: "At the time of "Private Eye in the Distant Seas", I think it was Producer Suwa (Michihiko) -san who contacted me, and I accepted the offer. It was an anime, so I thought of writing a story that couldn't be done in a normal film. After "The Darkest Nightmare", I was asked "When can you make a new script?" and I replied "I'm free in 1 year's time", that was how the offer came.
 +
 +
Q: "What are the requests from Aoyama-sensei?"
 +
 +
A: "There weren't many. But regarding Amuro's view of love I was told to "please add this line". As well as "Add this scene with Azusa" or "Add this at the end". Not more than that. Most of it I wrote it up myself but I directly asked him if there were parts I didn't understand. How Amuro would interact with Conan, for example. I hadn't gotten a grasp of it yet...
 +
Amuro doesn't yet know that Conan is Shinichi. But despite that, he supports him a lot and relies on him. I wanted to ask Sensei about what kind of distance feeling I should use."
 +
 +
Q: "And what were the requests from Director Tachikawa?"
 +
 +
A: "It was a harder story at the beginning but he changed it from a hard story to a softer Conan episode. It was a bit more severe and nerve-wrecking world. But that wasn't the first Conan story that the director wanted to do. There were several conflicts with that."
 +
 +
Q: "What are Amuro's charms, in your opinion?"
 +
 +
A: "He has a wide mental capacity. If it's not someone with a lot of room in their heart then it's hard to live in 3 different world-views. You'll get crushed. Even as Furuya, even as Amuro and even as Bourbon, I think that his base is always the same. His feeling of justice as well, he just changes his form of expressing things. I guess that both shooting a gun and brewing coffee stem from the same feeling of justice.
 +
Also, I personally like Furuya a lot, and being chose to, as a charge commander, write a story about Furuya and the PSB which hasn't appeared in the manga often was very exciting. I think it derives from him, even as Amuro, even as Bourbon and eaven as Furuya."
 +
 +
Q: "Last question. What are the highlights of the movie?"
 +
 +
A:"At first you see through the viewpoint of Conan, the main protagonist, and then you see through Furuya's PoV, and if you see it from a 3rd PoV that'd be the culprit's... And they all look like different stories. And, also, there might be a 4th PoV...
 +
Also, when you see it the first time, as a hint to guess the culprit, I wish that you pay attention to the "screen within the screen". A TV screen or a PC screen might appear but pay attention to that "screen within the screen" which one normally oversees. We're using a lot of screens this time, so there might be news announced there or investigation materials, there are hints rolling in several "screens"."

Things you want to know before seeing "Zero The Enforcer"!
 +
 +
The Japanese Police
 +
 +
We will introduce the composition of the Japanese Police in the world of "Detective Conan" in a simplified manner. This movie will mainly involve the Public Safety Police. Let's check where Amuro (Furuya) belongs to.
 +
 +
Amuro bubble: "I'm affiliated to the National Police Agency's Security Bureau, Security Planning Division", see!"[/spoiler]
 +
 +
(National Police)
 +
 +
National Police Agency of Japan :
 +
 +
Japanese Prime Minister
 +
 +
&darr;
 +
National Public Safety Committee: (Minister of State, Committee Chief and 5 Committee Members)
 +
 +
&darr;
 +

 +
 +
2) Life Safety Bureau
 +
 +
3) Crime Bureau
 +
 +
4) Traffic Bureau
 +
 +
5) Security Bureau
 +

 +
 +
5.2 A) (Left branch): Public Safety Division

 +
5.3 A) (Left branch): Security Division
 +
 +
5.1 B) (Right branch): Foreign Affairs Information Department
 +
 +
5.2 B) (Right branch): Foreign Affairs Division
 +
 +
5.3 B) (Right branch): Counter International Terrorism Division
 +
 +
6) Information Transmission Bureau
 +
 +
Furuya (Amuro) belongs to the NPA's Security Bureau, Security Planning Division. He works as a Japanese Public Safety Police but secretly works in a section named "Zero" behind the scenes.
 +
 +
NPA Info:
 +
 +
. Japanese Administrative Organ
 +
 +
. National Government Workers (Paid by the State)
 +
 +
. Career / Semi-Career
 +
 +
. Approximately 2.100 officers
 +
 +
The NPA is the administrative organ of the police. Under the supervision of the Japanese Prime Minister there's the National Public Safety Committee, and the and the NPA is established under this committee's control. It creates the organization for the police to counter a wide range of organized crimes, and is also in command of each prefecture's police regarding crime examination and criminal statics.
 +
 +
To put in simple words, the pinnacle of the Japanese Police is the NPA, and terrorism and organizations which involve the Public Safety are also controlled by the NPA with the cooperation of all prefectural polices. Also, to become an officer in the NPA one must either pass a Government Worker "General "Exam (career bureaucrats) or a Government Worker "Common" Exam (semi-career bureaucrats).
 +
 +
Caption: "The Approval Rate of the careers is about 1% with a standard score of over 77. It's a super-hard exam. Furuya (Amuro) probably was a top-class approval case.

4) Approximately 43.500 officers
 +
 +
It's the police organization of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area and the headquarters of it. They split the Tokyo Metropolitan Area in 10 Districts with their District HQs and 102 Police Stations. The prefectural police forces of each prefecture (such as Kanazawa or Osaka) have the same positioning but as the police organization protecting the capital of Japan, the MPD has further authority than other regional police forces. It has the biggest amount of police officers in Japan and it's a big-scale organization and is the best by far when compared to the regional forces.
 +
 +
The greatest rank of the police, the Superintendent General of the Metropolitan Police, is always chosen from the chiefs of the MPD. There's also a lot of people who come from the NPA as well. Also, Peep-kun is the the symbol mascot of the MPD. In the MPD's HP one can even see anime.
 +
 +
Caption: Kazami Yuuya is affiliated to the MPD's Public Safety Department. This section within the MPD is filled with elites. Scotch, who was undercover in the Black Organization, also belonged to this section.

Public Safety:
 +

It's the name of a department established within the police to maintain the public safety.
 +
 +
Mission: Prevent big incidents (such as terrorism) which might threaten the safety of Japan
 +
 +
The Public Safety Police protecting Japan from terrorist threats. The "Zero" in which Amuro (Furuya) is involved with is a code-name which means "unexisting organization" and secretly acquire information from across the nation, as well as having the authority to mobilize the Japanese Public Safety Police. The "Backstage Administrator" is named as the top of the organization. Information gathered by "Zero" is reported to this figure. The missions of "Zero" are top-secret and Prefectural Police HQ Chiefs (Superintendent Supervisor Class) don't receive this information, either.

The Public Safety Departments of all prefectures are under the administration of "Zero" as well. "Zero" is a small-scale elite unit so it doesn't need a deployment unit, the MPD and other Public Safety Police work as their hands and feet.
 +
 +
Even within the NPA's Security Department, "Zero" is given out special orders to engage in out top-secret missions. By directly commanding the Public Safety Police, they prevent information leaking. Also, the Public Safety Police members keep a lot of things secret from their families as they live on.

 +
 +
3) Accepting Case ->  Processing Case -> Non Indictment (Right flow)
 +
 +
4) Trial
 +
 +
The Public Prosecutor's Office supervises the work of the Japanese Prosecutors. As a special organ of the Ministry of Justice, it places the 4 types of Offices listed above across the nation.
 +
When the police arrest a suspect, they are sent to the prosecutor along with the case's records within 48 hours. The prosecution is carried by the prosecutor in charge who inquires the suspect and the persons given as references. If there's not enough evidence, they might request a new investigation to the police, or after enough consideration decide whether there's indictment or not.  Cases that are indicted proceed to a trial.[/spoiler]

 +
Police Ranks
 +
 +
(About the ranks)
 +
 +
Apart from their positions, police officers also have ranks. Those with career ascend without any exams. They begin from Assistant Inspector, and all other ranks below Superintendent Supervisor depend on the potential of the person.
 +
 +
Those with semi-career begin from Police Sergeant and the max they can aspire to is Chief Superintendent.
 +
 +
In the case of non-career persons, who are Regional Government Workers, they must undertake an exam to ascend their rank as well as work for a set number of years. The max they can aspire to is Chief Superintendent, but there's almost no-one who makes it that far.
 +
 +
Also, those from Senior Superintendent and above become National Government Workers even if they don't have a career.
 +
 +

<spoiler>
 +
Q1) "Why did you change the manga style to the current one, compared to how it was on the beginnings?"
 +
 +
A1) "I wasn't conscious of that (laughs) I drew things like that!?"
 +
 +
Q2) "What about Ran-chan's head?"
 +
 +
A2) "Everyone points that out to me (laughs). It happened to turn into that (laughs). I wanted a symbol-like thing, to be able to tell who it was from the silhouette. Like how I thought that my dad was wearing a hat the whole time (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q3) "Shinichi and Ran have begun to date, but will there be a boyfriend-girlfriend-like interaction in the future?"
 +
 +
A3) "There'll be (laughs) Maybe they'll become a couple by next year's movie? Oh? (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q4) "How's the chronology between the movies and the manga organized like? Is the "Crimson School Trip" after "The Crimson Love Letter"?"
 +
 +
A4) "I was troubled by that, actually. I did consult with the editor if I should depict it as Momiji firstly meeting Sonoko... Well, it came out well enough, no? (laughs) I don't think much about the chronology with the movies"
 +
 +
Q5) "What's the tone of coloring you use for Amuro-san's and Heiji's skin color?"
 +
 +
A5) "The same! Number 51! (laughs) Everyone else uses Number 61, but I use Number 51 because it has a bigger grain! It doesn't get crushed, hence why Number 51 is the best!"
 +
 +
Q6) "Shinichi said he wanted to become the Heisei (Note 1) Sherlock Holmes, but will Conan end during the Heisei Period?"
 +
 +
A6) "No, if the period name changes then I'll nonchalantly change it to the new period's Holmes (laughs) I should also nonchalantly insert a line about that (laughs)"
 +
 +
Note 1: Heisei - Period from 1989 to the present, indicating rule of current Emperor, Akihito
 +
 +
Q7) "Did you intend to make Amuro Tooru appear when you made Akai Shuuichi debut?"
 +
 +
A7) "Well, I did have the idea in a corner of my head! I did think of making a rival character or worthy opponent! I actually thought of naming him "Shiroi" (laughs). But I thought it might be a bit odd so I went for Amuro (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q8) "Amuro-san asked Azusa-san about her plans for Christmas before the break, though?"
 +
 +
A8) "Amuro was saying "Not really", Azusa might've said (laughs) then you could switch work shifts with me? (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q9) There was a scene featuring them in "Zero the Enforcer," though?"
 +
 +
A9) I did draw that scene!
 +
 +
Q10) "A normal Conan cases is 3 chapters, but do you decide the length beforehand?"
 +
 +
A10) "I always have the rough idea that a case will be 3 chapters long. But long cases like the "Crimson School Trip" are 5-6 chapters long... At times like that I go... "Well, this'll be a serial murder, then!" (laughs)
 +
 +
Q11) "Why is Amuro-san so popular?"
 +
 +
A11) "Well... I dunno (laughs). Why, I wonder (laughs). Maybe the fact that he can't beat Akai makes him popular (laughs) That might be it (laughs)."
 +
 +
Q12) "The last question in "Zero the Enforcer" was a great!"
 +
 +
A12) "Glad to know (laughs) I told them to add that one (laughs)!"
 +
 +
Q13) "What were the good things of becoming a mangaka?"
 +
 +
A13) "You earn a lot of money (laughs) You can eat juicy stuff (laughs). But you get less sleeping time... But now I sleep a lot! (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q14) "If Conan goes back to being Shinichi, how will he relate to those around him?"
 +
 +
A14) "I can't tell you that (laughs) I almost made a slip (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q15) "Are you planning on drawing that?"
 +
 +
A15) "Well, let's see... I do (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q16) "How do you decide the codenames of the BO members?"
 +
 +
A16) "Gin was an idea by an assistant, he said he looked Gin... I was like "really?" (laughs). As for Vermouth, I was told to use Vermouth (laughs) I get directed a lot by my assistants, although not that much (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q17) "Why did you make Hattori Heiji dark-skinned?"
 +
 +
A17) "I wanted to make him the complete inverse of Shinichi (laughs)! I thought that'd be a dark-skinned character, then (laughs). But my assistants disliked the idea. They said it was annoying to draw! (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q18) "I think the best part about your work, Sensei, is that you don't kill the criminals and have them live to atone for their sins but why did you make the culprit of Moonlight Sonata die?"
 +
 +
A18) "I thought that an occasional exception would do fine (laughs) It was a necessary victim so that Conan could tell Hattori that he's not perfect and that he actually "killed" someone (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q19) "All the movies always have some scenes drawn by you, Sensei, but do you decide which ones you want to draw?"
 +
 +
A19) "Yes! I put a circle in the storyboard that Director Tachikawa gave me to indicate I'd draw those! (laughs) I generally draw the scenes which have lines that I thought of (laughs)!"
 +
 +
Q20) "What's the origin of Conan's "there's only one truth" amongst the famous lines of the manga?"
 +
 +
A20) "It was actually a coincidence, in the chapter of Heiji's debut Shinichi said "because there's only one truth", and at about the same time the anime came up with "there's always one truth", so it really was a coincidence (laughs)."
 +
 +
Q21) "What works did you use as reference when making up the character of Amuro Tooru?"
 +
 +
A21) "I often say that Akai looks like Char, but Amuro is Amuro (laughs). Amuro's an original character (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q22) "What are the characters that are easier to draw and harder to draw within your works?"
 +
 +
A22) "Kaitou Kid is hard to draw, yes... And Amuro is easy to draw (laughs). Akai is hard, but Amuro has a special feeling to him (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q23) "What are the origins of Kaitou Kid?"
 +
 +
A23) "At first he was unpopular with the chief editor (laughs). Saying he wasn't fashionable at all (laughs).
 +
There was "Cats Eye" (see note) as high school thiefs at the time. the youngest sister was a high school student. Yet there wasn't a guy thief so I thought I could come up with one of my own (laughs). I was faster so I won (laughs)."
 +
 +
Note: "Cat's Eye", manga about a group of 3 sisters who steal works from a fictional European artist.
 +
 +
Q24) "Why did you think of making the heroine strong instead of weak?"
 +
 +
A24) "I guess it's because I wanted to draw karate scenes (laughs). Thought that a strong heroine would be fun (laughs). Conan-kun shrunk so he needed someone strong next to him else he'd be in trouble... Or so I thought (laughs)
 +
 +
Q25) "What scenes were fun to draw and which were hard to draw?"
 +
 +
A25) "A fun one was that final two-page spread of the Kiyomizu Temple (laughs). The background was drawn by a Takarazuka college alumni, and they spent about 1 day to draw it up. (laughs) I only drew Shinichi and Ran (laughs). That scene was fun.
 +
The Bell Tree Express scenes were hard to draw (laughs)"
 +
 +
Q26) "Why is it that the characters' clothing is so fashionable?"
 +
 +
A26) "I used to buy a lot of clothes at Anan or Non-no or CanCam (laughs). Amuro often appears in the latest cases so they asked me to think up Amuro's clothing (laughs). I have them think of making files about the clothes in every case."
 +
 +
Q27) "Are there plans for a movie focused on Shinichi and Ran?"
 +
 +
A27) "I wonder about that (laughs) I dunno but I can't say too much into this (laughs) oh well, look forward to it (laughs)"
