Summary by Black Demon

About the character designs and the movie posters

1. A girl asked whether the "horn" on Ran's head is a bone. Gosho laughed and said that it's not a bone, it's just the hair style. He also emphasized that Ran wouldn't be Ran if she didn't have the "horn" on her head. And Conan wouldn't be Conan if he didn't have the hair strands that gone straightened up at the back of his head.

2. About the origin of Shinichi's birthday (May 4), Gosho said that it's the day that Holmes and Prof. Moriarty died at Reichenbach Fall, which would make it look like Shinichi is the reincarnation of Holmes, however, Holmes never actually died...

3. Gosho said that when he designs the characters and draws the manga, the principle that he sticks to is: Boys must look handsome and girls must look cute (男の子はカツコよく、女の子は可愛く). He always reminds himself to think and draw seriously.

4. Gosho draws the movie posters, but the texts on the side are not written by him.

About the creation and experience as a mangaka

Nothing important in this part really, I'm too lazy to translate right now =.=

About ShinRan

I (the poster) helped a friend ask this: Shinichi has already confessed to Ran back in London. What will their development in the future be, will they have a kissing scene like Takagi and Sato ?

Gosho answered that there'll definitely be a development, he wasn't sure how much he should spoil, but he said that we can expect the "kiss" thing, there will be that part.

About Kaitou Kid and Magic Kaito

1. Basically Gosho said that there is a reason behind Kid and Shinichi's resemblance and he purposely made it like that. That reason may be brought up in the future if he has the chance to draw, but maybe not if he's too busy.

2. A fan asked that: In "Magic Kaito" where Kaitou Kid is the main character, the first Kid (Toichi) was killed by a mysterious organization. Kaitou Kid both find the "Pandora" and hunt the enemies who killed his father at the same time. But in the "Mystery Train" arc, Kid showed up to help Conan. Will Kaitou Kid's story be relevant to the Black Organization because of this ?

Gosho said because that was a special case, so [he] let Kid appeared and have an encounter with the organization. However, Kid has his own story plot, which may be developed in "Magic Kaito", so Kaitou Kid will probably not have any intersection with the BO in the future.

He also said that he really wants to draw MK, at least one volume per year, but since he's too busy with Conan's releases, especially with the "Mystery Train" thing, he never had the time.

About the Black Organization

1. Gosho said that after Amuro there'll also be a new member/new members. Even though he didn't say clearly, but it seems that there won't be only one.

2. A fan asked: All BO members have alcoholic code-names. Does Gosho like alcohols ? Will his most favorite alcohol be The Boss' code-name ?

Gosho said he doesn't really drink, he just picked up the alcoholic names that he thinks are cool. The cool code-names are almost used up now, maybe there's only Whiskey or something... left. [Black Demon: I find this strange because Rye and Bourbon are already whiskeys.]

The Boss doesn't need to have a code-name because (he/she) is the "boss", of course the member's code-names are all come up by The Boss.

3. A fan asked whether Gosho has already come up with the name and character design/setting for The Boss ?

Gosho gave out an ambiguous statement: The Boss has already been come up with/has already appeared; the name also has already been come up with/has already appeared. But which option is the correct understanding, everyone has their own opinion.

However, Gosho stated that it's not Agasha Hiroshi, to which the audiences clap enthusiastically.

4. A girl asked about the "Sherry naked" thing, that why does Gin always think about her without clothes, what exactly is their relationship ?

Gosho answered that they indeed had a relationship, but it wouldn't be interesting if (he) revealed it there, so please wait for it. The poster also mentioned that Gosho had a trolling (or something like that) laugh/smile at the time.

5. From what I (BD) understand here is that a fan asked why Gosho didn't name Amuro directly after Tohru Furuya but had to use a character that has the same pronunciation (透 vs. 徹). Gosho said that it would be too obvious if he did that. [Except it's still very obvious :P ]

6. A fan asked whether there will be a special story that Gosho wants to write next year (Conan's 20th anniversary) ?

Gosho said that he wants to write a BIG case that involves the organization. However, he said that he "wants to write", so...

About the ending

The poster asked about the ending and Gosho's answer is basically the same as in the past: It may not end just yet, but he also said that doesn't mean (Conan) doesn't have any ending. [So what I understand here is that there may or may not be a ending, and Gosho is also not certain about when will he write the end either.]

Plot and Black Organization

When/how/did the boss of the Black Organization appear? Sources 1,6,7, report Gosho said the boss has appeared in some form a "long time ago", but Gosho may have implied the boss could have appeared "recently". Contrast with Source 5 who does not report the part of the answer that the boss has appeared recently. Q: Has the boss appeared? A: He has. Long ago, recently, I wonder when?/I wonder if he appeared long ago or recently (laughs)) The different sources extracted different meanings from this statement. One of the sources (which one?) thought Gosho was taunting, so the phrase may be misunderstood. Source 5 notes Gosho was being vague about what form the boss appeared in. (Current manga chapter is 883) It is mentioned again the boss is not Agasa. (Source 1,5,6,7) Gosho declined to answer a question if the boss's face has appeared (Source 1,7)

Akemi has nothing to do with the rivalry between Akai Shuichi and Amuro Tooru. (Source 1,2,5,6,7)

The two people who followed Yukiko and the Detective Boys and took pictures of Haibara in the prescreening case in the Vermouth arc (episode 335-336) were subordinates of Akai's. Gosho said you can ignore them. (Source 1,2,6,7)

Gosho declined to answer if Amuro's name is an alias. Amuro does have a childhood nickname that will appear. (Source 1,2,5,6,7) Amuro's dark skin color has a meaning (Source 2,5,6,7) Gosho declined to say whether Amuro's hair and skin color is natural,(Source 1,5,6) but mentioned his current hair color is supposed to be brown, not white. (Source 6) Amuro’s "profile" is a secret. (Source 6,7) Gosho gave a non-answer about Amuro's weaknesses: "I also haven’t decided on any weaknesses or dislikes. I mean, you wouldn’t like it if I said that he dislikes nattō, right? (laughs)” (Source 2,5,6,7)

Gin's weakness is Akai (Source 1,2,4,6) Gin is the type who doesn't have favorite or disliked foods. (Sources 5,6,7) (Q: What are Gin’s weaknesses/dislikes? A: I think he doesn’t have any likes/dislikes. I think he can relatively eat whatever.) (Source 6)

Gosho declined to answer about the completeness of APTX antidote (Source 1,2,6,7). Gosho declined to answer about the bloody disk of APTX data Haibara had from the Haido City Hotel seen later in Desperate Revival. (Source 1,2,6)

Movie 18 will have some sort of appearance by Akai. (Source 1,2,6,7 More info given in sources 6 and 7) Gōshō: This year’s movie is Akai. Q: Does he have a central part? A: I don’t know how much of a part “central” is, but I think it will make you go “Oh!” “It’s happening before the manga”-kind of like. I also drew Akai’s key frames. Akai Shuichi's story in the manga will be dealt with AFTER the movie, not before. (Source 2) “It’s gonna happen in the movie before the manga…” (Source 7) [The subject of "it" is unclear. It might refer to Akai's appearance.] Gosho cannot say more about the topic because it would make the director mad. (Source 1,6,7+others)

Gosho declined to answer about future overseas cases. (Source 1,6) When the possibility of having a case in America related to Sera was asked about in the same question, Gosho regarded the question as a dangerous and declined to go there. (Source 1,2,6,7) Q: There have been cases abroad so far, but will the story of when Sera lived in America appear? A: Oh! You just asked something dangerous. Was that on purpose? (laughs)

Sera was the hardest character story to design (Source 1,5,6,7) of the recent new characters (Sera, Amuro, Naeko, Haneda mentioned by question). The Akai siblings have three different last names (Source 1,2,7) which makes it complex (Source 6). Sera's appearance was also difficult to design. (Source 6) Gosho designed her as a tomboy (Source 1,6) because he likes her that way (Source 1), and she has to standout/be different from Ran and Haibara.

Why does the Black Organization wear black? (Source 1) Question not answered by source.

The police

Yumi and Sato have been good friends since high school. (Source 1,2,6,7) But Gosho has no plans of making them classmates. (Source 6,7)

There will be a major case/incident involving Naeko Miike. (Source 1,2,6,7) Q: What about Naeko’s and Chiba’s love comedy? A: These two will appear in a BIG case. Q: Will Chiba notice Naeko soon enough? A: He really doesn’t notice huh? I also think “Is this guy stupid?!” (laughs)

What is Chiba’s first name? (Source 1) Question not answered by source "It seems like Isshin Chiba (Chiba’s voice actor) really likes Naeko. I was told at the year-end party." (Source 6,7)

A spinoff for Matsuda and Hagiwara not planned (Source 1,2,6) The editors like them though (Source 1,6). "(Since Matsuda was enrolled in the Division 1 for only 7 days) the editing department told me “Please write a story called ‘The seven days of Matsuda’ or something like that”, but I have no plans of doing so. Matsuda and Hagiwara are just that story. (tn: as in, “the story so far” I guess)"

Why did Takagi become a policeman? (Source 1) - Question not answered by source

Haneda Shukichi will make another appearance (Source 2,6,7) and it will be at a murder during a Shogi tournament (Source 6,7)

Teenage Protagonists

Someone asked about relative bust sizes. Gosho said Kazuha's breasts are smaller than Ran's. (Source 1,2,4,6,7) Sato's are bigger than Yumi's (Source 1,6), but Sato's don't look so big because she is quite muscular (Source 6), but Shiho is flat right now [because she is a child]. (Source 6). Gosho considers Ran as one of the biggest in terms of bust size. (Source 7)

Gosho wanted to have a karate case where Ran's opponent died but then decided not to. "I’ve thought of writing a story about one of Ran’s karate opponents dying in the middle of a match, but afterall that would be pretty bad so I stopped." (Source 1,6,7)

The correct color for Ai Haibara's hair is reddish brown, not the golden color it is in the movies. (Sources 1,6,7)

Heijis line "my Kazuha" was pretty much a confession. (Source 6,7) Hattori's birthday is not decided (Source 1,2,6,7) Kazuha birthday is not decided (Source 6,7)

Other

The Ai and Fujiko bath scene in the Lupin vs Conan crossover movie left an impression on Gosho (Source 1,6, not answered in source 1)

Gosho's sleep schedule: "When I was young I used to sleep for about 3 hours, but now I sleep 3 hours at night and then take an afternoon nap of about 30–60 minutes." (Source 6,7)

Gosho draws the culprit first (Source 1,6,7) "When drawing a story, I start from the criminal. Then, if for example the criminal is (tn: a particular way I don’t understand), I draw the other characters not that way." Gosho goes back and forth with editors when trying to decide criminal motive. (Source 2,6,7)

There was something about making Tottori airport into a Conan themed airport and Conan on the side of a plane. (Source 6,7)

(Within Conan?) What kind of sports do you want to write? (Source 1) Question not answered by source

Gosho's favorite outfit for Conan is the Jacket with the K. (Source 1)

(Translated by Conan#1) - Yumi and Miwako are friends since high school, there will be big incident happened on Naeko! - There will be description of Amuro's childhood, true meaning of Amuro's dark skin, a secret which something Amuro not good in. - Gin had no favourite and non-favourite food. - Amuro loves to smoke - Gosho said regarding future story related to sports, he will draw Ran Mouri participation of national karate tournament in future.

(Translated by Black Demon) - Aoyama's original character Akai Shuichi from "The Sniper from Another Dimension" will first be dealt with in the original manga, then the movie after that!! Correction from the poster: Akai will show up in the manga AFTER the movie, not before. - Shukichi will make another appearance.

(Translation by Fujiwara) - Akemi has nothing to do with the rivalry between Amuro and Akai - The Sera thing is just that her character design was difficult ... - The last line is just about the boss already having appeared (We still don't know whether in person or name - it even says so in brackets) - What's Gin's weakness? Akai. - Will there be other international cases like the London case? Sth. like Gosho would like to, but probably not (the writer doesn't quite remember)

(Translation by Zenthisoror) - Haneda Shukichi will reappear in a shogi league competition murder mystery case. - Amuro's childhood nickname will make an appearance. - Concerning a Matsuda and Hagiwara spinoff: Hagiwara probably won't appear, but the editor responsible for Gosho likes Matsuda so if the opportunity arises, it might happen.

(Translation by ALAKTORN) - When I (Gosho) was young I used to sleep for about 3 hours, but now I sleep 3 hours at night and then take an afternoon nap of about 30–60 minutes. - In rock, paper, scissors Gosho ALWAYS starts with scissors - When I (Gosho) have to come up with the motive, I think about it with the editing department while going “nobody would kill for such a reason” and such back and forth. - When drawing a story, I (Gosho) start from the criminal. - I haven’t decided on Heiji’s birthday. Nor Kazuha’s. - What about Naeko’s and Chiba’s love comedy? These two will appear in a BIG case. Will Chiba notice Naeko soon enough? He really doesn’t notice huh? I (Gosho) also think “Is this guy stupid?!” (laughs) It seems like Isshin Chiba (Chiba’s voice actor) really likes Naeko. I (Gosho) was told at the year-end party. - There have been cases abroad so far, but will the story of when Sera lived in America appear? Oh! You just asked something bad. Was that on purpose? (laughs) - Amuro-san’s white hair… is that dyed? Aah.Rather than white it’s brown. I can’t answer this. His dark skin too, there is a profound meaning behind it. (laughs) - Q: Has that person’s face appeared? A: Ooh… I can’t answer that! (laughs) Q: Thank you very much. A: That was dangerous. lol - This year’s movie is Akai. Does he have a central part? A: I don’t know how much of a part “central” is, but I think it will make you go “Oh!” “It’s happening before the manga”-kind of like. I also draw Akai’s key frames. - Q: “My Kazuha” is a confession? A: That’s pretty much a confession. Various translators and personal guess: - The 2 guys with hats and sunglasses appearing during the Toto developing plans case were just FBI subordinates of Akai. You may ignore them. - Has the Boss's face appeared? I can't say. - The progress of the APTX4869 antidote? I can't say. - What happened to the burned disc from the Haido City Hotel? I can’t say. - What's the reason for Takagi becoming a police officer? I haven't decided yet. - Breast size: Ran>Kazuha; Sato>Yumi; Ai-chan is completely flat. Not when she was Shiho though. - Keep in mind the recording Conan made of Heiji's words (probably referring to the drug dealer case) - Haibara's hair color is different in the anime and movie. Which one is the right one? Haibara's hair is reddish brown. - There was something about making Tottori airport into a Conan themed airport and Conan on the side of a plane. (DCW) - Gosho's favorite outfit for Conan is the Jacket with the K (DCW)

The reason Yusaku didn't go to the Macademy Awards himself is because he and Akai have the same height.
What's the reason that the boss' phone number (it says phone number, btw) has the area code of Kurayoshi (in Tottori)? -> It's just coincidence.
Apparently Gosho did some shooting in Hawaii.
Gin chose his car (Or Gosho chose Gin's car, I guess), cause it's cool.
When's Haibara's bday? --> undecided
Why does Akai always wear a knitted hat? --> Probably cause he likes it.
Conan or Kid - which one do you like better? --> I like them both the same.
In Countdown, we didn't get to see 10-years-into-the-future Ran. Will we get the opportunity to see that some time? --> You will~
Who pays Heiji and Kazuha's plane tickets? --> His mom.
Which of Conan's movements are impossible? --> All of them. [Kinda weird question, if you ask me :V]
How old are Sato/Miyamoto/Shiratori? --> I imagine them to be 28.
Which cosplay would you like to try out? --> The flashy guy in white.
How exactly are Jirokichi and Sonoko related? --> She's his niece.
Where will Heiji confess? --> Gosho: I don't know yet. Is the Tsūtenkaku not good enough? Fan: If it's gonna be abroad, how about Australia? Miyamura lives there after all... Gosho: Ah, Miyamura, I see. Well, you'l find out~
In December, Gosho was hospitalized for 2 weeks. (Due to this there will apparently be a 2-week break after the Kawanakajima case.)
It's a good idea to take a closer look at Detective Date's notebook.

Q: Ran's always using a Gallpagos phone: won't she switch to a smartphone at some point?

A: W-well... You're right. It's a complicated topic... Well... Hum... It feels a bit ankward that it doesn't close somewhat but... Maybe I'll change it someday, or so I think from time to time... Sorry.

Q: Volume 85, when Bourbon and Vermouth are talking about how Gin suspects spies are getting in: is that foreshadowing?

A: Foreshadowing, huh. Well... Yes, it is. This year's movie will be more or less about that so...

Q: Well... Someone asked to me ask this but... Kir, Bourbon, Cherry (guess he meant to say Sherry), their eyes turn into foreigners when BO mode: are they mixed race?

A: Ah... No, nott really. When Conan gets surprised he also gets foreigner-like eyes so... I draw them like that when I want to portray scared eyes: there's no special meaning to them. Sorry. But they maybe (some odd word: apparently Gosho can't come up with the word he wants to use) half, even. (According to the person who wrote this it might be that he was trying to think of alternative word to "half", another way to tell mixed race characters apart)

Q: Now... This year's film "The Darknest Nightmare": what color feelings do you think we should give to this pitch black movie? What's the fitting color in your opinion?

A: Huh! That's a bit dangerous (in the sense that he has to avoid spoilers). Hum... Well, I guess each viewer should choose their own color... I think. It's a bit hard to say. Sorry.

Q: Volume 88. Sato's flashy outfit: are those plain clothes? In the same volume: Takagi Wataru is wearing flashy too but has his police notebook got downgraded to senior policeman, did you know? He should be a police sergeant but both the Shonen Sunday chapter and the volume chapter read "senior policeman".

A: It got mistaken with police sergeant. Sorry, I meant, he IS a police sergeant. And... Maybe Sato's plain clothes were borrowed frum Yumi? Incidentally, the next case involves Yumi and Sato... Well... That's... It begins with a scene having the 2 of them walking in front of Shinjuku's Alta. (Fashion store in Tokyo) Chukichi also shows up.

Q: Is there a "fake" (a red herring) in the manga that no-one's noticed yet?

A: Ah... Huh... There is. No-one's noticed it yet. It'll soon be reffered to. In Volume 18 (speculated to be the APTX victim list and the "Haneda" name there)

Q: Eh... I think that there might be people like Amuro or Akai from the PSB or the FBI sneaking int the BO but... Could there be the inverse, that BO are sneaking into Japanese police or FBI or in Conan's surroundings?

A: Ah... You bring up a painful topic... (Might be his way of saying: "I won't tell you")

Q: Could they be inside of characters who've already shown up or will show up in the future?

A: That's... welll... No comment. Please switch question topic.

Q: Also... Maybe you can't tell us but... Who's the girl that Sera's hiding?

A: I can't say that but... Really. Are there no other topics?

Q: Also... Maybe you can't tell us but... Is Vermouth an ally?

A: Huh? I can't say that. Really. An ally? (Looks troubled). Are you finished?

Q: Vermouth and Shinichi's mom knew other as fellow actresses but... Both know a lot about each other and seem to get along pretty well but... How should I put it like...? How well do they get along?

A: Well... They're both actresses.

Q: I meant: how do they get along about how they know a lot about each other?

A: Not really.

Q: Please give us a hint regarding what you've said about that of Volume 18 no-one knows about!

A: You bring it up...? Why...? I'm saying no-one knows it... Hmmmm... Well... You could say that someone might show up... When you see their name you'll go "Really?" or something like that... Hmmm... Sheesh. Let's leave it at there. You'll enjoy it when you read it so look forward to it.

Q: Is there someone, some character that proved to be very hard to draw or think of?

A: Ah. Hmmm... Huh... Not sure... Akai or Gin, maybe. I wanted them to be cool and scary at the same time and it proved to be hard to. The conté crayons I drew recently ago needed several redos.... It was rather... Hum... Somewhat... Let's leave it at there. If I go I might end up spoilering something so. (Gosho) President: I don't have much time to fix these... (President?) It's a bit wrong... (Gosho) What's a bit wrong? Yeah. You see, it became like a hoodlum, even. Felt like behaving like Gin, even.

Q: What's with Ran's hairstyle?

A: Ah. Sorry. That must be it... T-that's, well, ended up like that, I guess. Hmmm... I wanted it to be a hairstyle with style so... I went with that symbol... Or, rather... ... Make it so that you can tell it's Ran even from a distance. Like when she's in the midst of a crowd... So that's why I made it like that. Sorry. More like AstroBoy's angel head.

Q: Can you tell us a highlight of this year's movie?

A: A highlight? Well... It's a confrontation with the BO. And, also... A fight between PSB's Amuro and FBI's Akai. Boxing vs Jeet Kune Do. Where they fight is frightening... You'll be like "they're gonna fight here of all places?".

“Ran Girl / Shinichi Boy” is drawn from the points of view of two people. Which out of these cases would it be the most interesting to draw from a different point of view?

Red: “One Million Yen Robbery Case” from Akemi Miyano’s perspective

White: “Mystery Train” from Kaitou Kid’s perspective

Blue: “Scarlet Series” from disguised Kudo Yusaku’s perspective

Green: First day of “Kudo Shinichi’s New York Case” from Sharon’s perspective

Last year’s opening of Conan Cafes in many places ended in a great success. But if all the male characters were to open a “Conan Cafe for men”, for what product do you think

the most orders would pour in?

Red: Kudo Yukiko’s recipe! Okiya Subaru’s Rice Curry

Blue: Amuro Tooru’s Homemade Poirot Sandwich

Green: Kan-chan’s “Hangoroshi” [Which in this case means Botamochi, but could also be understood as “Half-Kill”. That caused confusion in Chapter 681 or Epsiode 557]

White: Kuroda Hyoue’s delicious black tea[/spoiler]

Q1: What's the most iconic scene in the upcoming movie?

A: That scene with Kazuha standing. I drew it for the teaser.

Q2: You'd said before that [Conan] could reach up to 100 volumes, what about it?

A: I take it back. Forget my previous words about this topic. I'm now sure it'll take over 100 volumes.

Q3: Do you have an idea of how many?

A: I don't know. I actually don't know myself so look forward to it.

Q4: When are Akai's and Amuro's birthdays?

A: I dunno the as well.

Q5: But coud you at least tell me Akai's age?

A: Didn't I announce it already? (omission) Amuro is 29 and that Iori [Muga]guy is 30, right? So he's about that same age. He is 31 or 32 years old.

Q6: Do Rye and Bourbon really dislike each other?

A: Don't they?

Q7: So they don't want to see each other or stick together?

A: Obviously.

Q8: What about [character] settings in the movies and manga? Are they the same or are they different?

A: I'd like to say that they're the same but they're contradicitng themselves in some spots... Sorry but I can't give you a short answer. Well! The movies are the movies and the manga is the manga.

Q9: It's about Haneda Kouji.

A: Yikes!

Q10: In the manga he's written as "Haneda" but in the anime is name's ruby reads "Hada" in the anime. What does that mean?

A: That's a mistake from their part. I forgot to tell them. Kouji comes from Tanigawa Kouji (a real-world shogi player).

(T/N: "ruby" is term to refer to the furigana or the "reading" of kanji. Instead of "Haneda" it say "Hada" since they accidentally ommitted the "ne" in "Haneda". Thanks to Fujiwara for pointing this out!)

Q11: What male characters are good at cooking?

A: Amuro is good. Akai learnt from Yukiko and has gotten better but his stew could be improved. I guess Amuro's the one who's more skilled at cooking.

Q12: What's the inspiration for the Night Baron? Is it the "Red Baron" in which Akai and Char were based upon?

A: Red Baron?

Q13: It was famous in America as...

A: No, that's not it. The inspiration is Edogawa Ranpo's "Golden Mask".

Q14: Will Amuro have a tragic end?

A: Dunno. Can't answer that right now.

Q15: Akai dated Akemi when he was infiltrating the BO, but did Amuro do something like that?

A: He's not doing that right now.

Q16: Now? Inside of the org?

A: LOL. You're sharp! But he isn't! And you all know who his first love is!

Q17: Haibara didn't get to show much up in Episode One! Are you planning to make an "Episode Two" in which we'll see when she shrunk?

A: Have no plans to do so right now. LOL. But it got very positive reviews so maybe there'll be something like it in the future.

Q18: What about an episode of Amuro's past?

A: I intend to write it.

Q19: Will it be during this Rum arc?

A: No comment.

Q20: How did Kaito know Conan is Shinichi?

A: When did he get to know, I wonder? I'd like to know, too. If only I had a chance to write an episode about that...

Q21: What car did you use to come here today?

A: An RX-7. I used it as model to come up with Sato's car. In the anime it's red but it's black in the manga. Amuro has this car, too. It'd seem that police cars can't be so flashy. Actually... I was kidding about that of the car's colors!

(Edit: I checked it up on the manga and it's written that Sato's car IS red... Gosho, you got me with your wording!!)

Q22: What about Akai and Jodie's relationship? When did they start hanging out? Did either of them confess to the other?

A: It's a secret. Enjoy it when I publish about it, if I get to.

Q23: Do you plan on Kazami appearing in the manga?

A: Who? Kazami? Do you like the guy?

Q24: Because Amuro doesn't have any allies.

A: But maybe that's what makes him cool, instead? Maybe you'll get to see Kazami again...? Look forward to it!

Q25: Have you planned where Heiji will confess at? You seem to focus on that a lot in the [Shonen] Sunday as of late?

A: You're going to ask THAT? It's obvious that I won't tell you, isn't it? It's a secret.

Q26: Are there any scene in Episode One which you influenced?

A: That scene with Korn. Other scenes (apart from that where Shinichi, Ran and Sonoko go to Sonoko's house) were influenced by me, too. I also decided on that scene with Akai.

Q27: What do you use as inspiration for the girls' clothes?

A: Various women buy those clothes. I used "JJ" or "anan" as reference before.

Q28: Who told you about the Chuubu earthquake?

A: I was sleeping and one of my assistants woke me up. I was surprised that the TV said "Beika City" when reporting the earthquake.

Q29: Will Okita show up in the next movie?

A: He won't. But maybe he'll show up in the manga. Since he's in the same high-school as Momiji.

Q30: Which poem of the "Hyakunin Isumi" do you like?

A: "Chihayafuru"!

Q31: Will Takagi and Sato marry?

A: I'd like for them to marry.

Q32: Kudo Shinichi, Akai Shuuichi, Kuroba Touichi. Are characters with the "ichi" (one) Kanji in their names relevant? What about [Furuya] Rei? And Heiji's "ji"?

A: In Touichi's case I wanted Mr.Ikeda to be his VA. Akai is Ikeda. Shinichi comes from Hoshi Shinichi. Furuya Rei's "Rei" is unrelated. Heiji is also unrelated.

Q33: Is there a love episode for Haibara?

A: She likes that soccer player. She's attracted to him.

Q34: In the "Visual Book" it says that Shinichi... was born in the US? And that he lives in the US?

A: Tha'ts wrong. He's born in Japan.

Q35: There are a lot of "strong types" amongst the female characters, do you like that type of character?

A: I like "tsunderes".

Q36: Who was Haibara speaking to in Episode One? Is there any meaning to the scene?

A: There's none. It won't be brought up.

Q37: What's Gin in-org rank?

A: Pretty high. It's within your ten fingers.

Q38: Will you make an episode about Takagi's past?

A: Hadn't thought of that. I might consider it.

Q39: Who decides the movies' thematics?

A: Movie 21 was decided by the staff. Movie 20 was decided by me. They decided the title "Darkest" while I choose "Nightmare".

Q40: In the "sakura" case it'd seem that Yukiko had met Ran before, but is that truly Shinichi's and Ran's first encounter?

A: It is the first encounter. I'm considering whether I should depict Yukiko's and Ran's first meeting.

(Another source lists answer as "They haven't met before")

Q41: Will there be an episode with "cool" Kogoro?

A: In the upcoming [Shounen] Sunday. It'll be very cool.

Q42: How many years has Wakasa Rumi been teaching? She's the assistant homeroom teacher, so how long has she been working?

A: I can't answer that.

Q43: Do you plan on making an episode of when Koumei was relegated to the local force?

A: I've got one in mind. I'm considering it.

Q44: Is there a reason why in Amuro's debut case there was so much talk about genes and blood?

A: I can't say much about that.

Q45: The reason why Shinichi uses shirts with his clothes is because it's his style?

A: I like that style myself. I think shirts fit him.

Q46: You said in Animal Crossing that Rum's already appeared. Has Rum's name and face appeared?

A: His/her name haven't shown up, in a sense! Maybe his/her face has appeared...?

Q47: What org would you like to be part of? FBI? PSB? Another?

A: I wouldn't like to be in any of those. Even if I tagged with Akai he wouldn't talk to me, but Amuro feels kinder so I'd like to eat sandwiches with him!

Q48: Which of your characters would you like to be?

A: In the past I liked to be Conan so that I can bath along with Ran... And now I also want to... I haven't changed! LOL!

Q49: Will Mr. Sakamoto from the [Yomiuri] Giants show up in Conan?

A: That depends on Mr. Sakamoto himself.

Q50: Did Curaçao die?

A: She did. She's not alive. Sorry.

Q51: What's your favorite car?

A: The porsche! Sorry for having the same choice as Gin's!

Q52: Will Momiji show up before M21's release in April?

A: Maybe she'll show up around that period?

Q53: What will file 1000 be about?

A: (poster can't disclose the contents of the answer)

Q54: In M1, Ran said that "Shinichi and I are born in May so we're Taurus". Is that true for the manga as well?

A: Taurus? Is that so? Ran? Ran's birthday... I haven't decided it yet. You want her to be Taurus? I'll work on it. I'll consider that.

Q55: Are the drugs [APTX4869] that Conan and Haibara swallowed different or are they same?

A: The drugs they swallowed? They're the same.

The face… Hm… Maybe appeared… Maybe not…

Q10: In Meitantei Conan universe there was FBI, Secret Police, Japan Police… Which organization would you like to join, if you lived in Conan world?

A: Eh… I don’t want both of them :)

Audience: If you were to have some activity with them - either investigation or just eating, then who?

A: Eh… If I was with Akai, I think I won’t be able to talk with him. Aa. Amuro-kun is kind of nice. I want to eat sandwiches with Amuro. Haha. Amuro then.

Q11: I don’t know if you’ll answer that, but how many years passed since Wakasa Rumi-sensei started teaching? She is a homeroom teacher, which means she has to have teaching experience for some years.

A: Aa… Wakasa Rumi-sensei? A… Yes-yes. Aa, Eh? Hm… I can’t answer that… Sorry. Maybe that can be an answer of some kind.

Q12: I love Nagano poilice so much, err… do you plan to draw a chapter about when Morofushi-keiji abandoned his post?

A: E… Quite high.

Audience: Top ten? Top 5?

A: A… Among the best 10.

Q17: I love Takagi-keiji the best, but his past is not really clear, what was the reason for him to join the police? Will you tell it?

A: I’ll think of it! Hahaha.

Q18: How movie titles are decided?

A: Aa… This year it was decided by staff. Previous one was decided by me. Somebody decided on ‘darkest’, I chose ‘nightmare’. So that’s like that. Suwa(Michihiko Suwa)-san thinks about it, I think about it, staff thinks about it.

Q19: In Visual Book there’s written that Shinichi-kun is America resident, was he born in America? Or Japan?

A: Eh? America? Is it written there? That’s probably a mistake. He was _probably_ born in Japan.

Q20: Among all girl characters in Meitantei Conan, I feel like there are a lot of strong-willed women, err… does Aoyama-sensei love this type? Or is this unintentional?

A: I love ‘tsundere’ type! My favourite. Of course I like cute ones too.

A: Aa, you noticed! Sorry. And if you want more details, I wanted Toichi to be voiced by Ikeda Shuichi, so he was named Toichi, who gave him the voice. Akai Shuichi goes without saying. Shinichi is a little different. He was named after Hoshi Shinichi-san.

Audience: What about Furuya-san’s Rei and Heiji’s 'Ji’? Has it meanings of numbers?

A: It have nothing to do with numbers.

Q22: I love Miyano Shiho the best, at Episode ONE’s start scene in laboratory, when Sherry was talking with somebody on the phone while looking at the computer screen, is her opponent someone important?

A: What? A~ No. Sorry. I think it could be anyone. They won’t appear probably. Sorry.

Q23: About Miyano Shiho-chan, will she have a love development?

Q24: That’s not a question about Conan, but when there was an earthquake in Tottori, how did you knew about it and what did you feel?

A: A… Well, I was sleeping. Honestly, I was going to sleep 3 hours, and when I woke up after half an hour of sleeping, I thought 'it’s shaking! and switched on TV. When I saw Hokuei written there, I was suprised. Yep. Like that. A was a little surprised.

Q25: Will Okita-kun appear in the movie?

A: He won’t appear in movie. But probably will appear in manga. He’s in the same high school. He won’t appear (in movie)! Want to see him?

Audience: Yes!

A: Ok. I’ll do it!

Q26: Karakurenai Love Letter has Huakunin Isshu theme, which is your favorite poem?

Q28: In ep. ONE which scenes were made by you?

A: Aa… Of course Korn! Yeah… And everything apart from Shinichi and Ran visiting Sonoko’s home at the beginning was made by me. Last scenes with Akai, Vermouth was of course mine. Yukiko and Yusaku also. I directed all of those scenes. And Vodka’s 'We want to build a lab’ was mine.

Q29: All girls in Conan, for example Ran-chan, look really cute, tell us please, what references and brands do you use for them?

A: Eh~ Aa… Well, right now all women clothes are chosen by women. So it depends on her taste. Before, when I chose it myself, it was JJ, anan, Non-no and CanCam. That’s all. Sorry.

Q30: Err… I really love Akai-san and was suprised that he dated Jodie=sensei. Please tell us about how Jodie and Akai’s romance started! When they started dating? Who confessed first? Tell us!

A: Ehh? I can’t tell that :) Please wait, it could appear in manga!

Audience: Please!

A: I’ll do my best.

Q31: I lived in Tottori for a long time but I became fan only with 'The Darkest Nightmare’, sorry. That’s not a question, more like a wish. Please add Kazami Yuuya to the manga. Please.

A: Eh? Who? Kazami? You like Kazami?

Audience: That’s not about liking, that’s about Amuro having no friends…

A: Aa… That’s good :)

Audience: Hey, he’s lonely.

A: Well… Kazami, huh. You want him to appear. Yes-yes-yes. Maybe you’ll see Kazami again.

Q32: Kaito Kid err… Does he know that Conan=Shinichi?

A: A! That, when did it happen? I want to ask myself… Well, if I’ll have a chance, I’ll think of it.

Q33: What car you ride to come here today?

A: Aaa, Same as Sato-keiji, RX7. In manga it’s black. Police cars are not that flashy. Anime… well… Lied. A, Amuro also has the same. His car is white.

TN: Could be a joke or a mistranslation, because original sentence is kinda vague. Sorry in advance! Fyi: A car was described as red in manga though…

Q34: Looks like there’s a fuss about where Heiji will confess to Kazuha-chan in recent Sunday issue. Where do you think he will do it?

A: You ask about that? You can’t:) Hm… Kinda… Well, wait for it :)

Q35: What is the most impressive scene in ‘Karakurenai no Love Letter’?

A: That’s hm… A scene with Kazuha. I can tell only that. I drew a teaser while having an apparent scene in mind. Hm? You got what it is? You don’t get it? It’s fine! :) Damn, me. I told too much.

Q36: Happy New Year. Err… Quite a time ago you told that you want to reach 100 volumes, now you’re closing to it, what are you going to do?

A: I think it will exceed 100 volumes. Please act like I didn’t say anything about 100 volumes :)

Audience: How much do you want to reach?

A: I don’t have a goal. Mm… I didn’t even think about it.

Q37: Happy New Year, Aoyama-sensei. Err… I became a fan from the Darkest Nighmare, so I like Akai-san and Amuro-san. Err… If it’s possible, please tell us birthdays of Akai-san and Amuro=sam… Err… Akai-san and Furuya Rei-san.

A: Aa… I don’t know.

Audience: Then at least tell us Akai’s age

A: I didn’t tell?

Audience: He first appeared as a passenger and he didn’t had age shown.

Aoyama: Aa… Age, huh. How old is Amuro?

Audience: Amuro is 29, but we don’t know about Furuya Rei-san.

A: Well, Amuro is 29, Iori is 30, right? Then it’s like that. 31-32.

Q38: To what extent Rye and Bourbon had really that bad relationship?

A: Eeh? They had bad relationship, right?

Audience: Like could they not stand each other faces or even eat at the same table?

A: Well, yeah, it was like that. They really disliked each other. I guess you understand there was a reason for that, right?

Q39: Err, I think about manga and movies as different things, but they have content created by you, right? Err… According to movies, Ran-chan knows Conan-kun’s birthday, but she doesn’t (in manga), so how movies influence manga? Is your setting the same as movie one?

A: Ah, is it influencing? Aa… Hmm… Right, I want to say it’s the same, but it has some subtle differences. Well. I suppose it has differences. Like, birthdays. Well. I can’t answer right away, sorry. Well. Movies are movies. Manga is manga.

Q40: About Haneda Koji… In manga’s APTX list he is Haneda, but in anime is is ‘Hada’.

A: A… That is a mistake. I didn’t say that to anime staff. Koji is taken from Tanigawa Koji.

Q41: Episode ONE’s scene with Ran-chan cooking for Shinichi was impressive. How good are male characters at cooking?

A: Amuro is good at it. Akai was taught by Yukiko-san and got better. But he can only make stews… I think Amuro is better.

Q42: Yusaku’s ‘Night Baron’ is a a reference to Red Baron, that was a reference for Akai-san and Char (Aznable)?

A: Eh? Red Baron?

(TN: Manfred von Richthofen)

Audience: He’s famous in America…

A: No. Wrong. Golden Mask. Edogawa Ranpo’s.

Q43: I got interested in Conan from the previous year’s movie. There are a lot of people who really like Akai-san and Amuro-san, so people talk about it a lot. Akai was dating Miyano Akemi, who was at the same organization. What about Amuro?

A: I made a hint before. Eh? You didn’t hear that? Amuro dated somebody.

Audience: Was it a love inside the Organization? If he has a woman now, please tell is.

A: A. Right now he doesn’t have a woman he loves.

Audience: Now?

A: Yep. Hahaha. You’re all great. He doesn’t! For now.

Audience: Will you draw a chapter about it?

A: Hm, maybe. His first love. You all know that person.

(Smol Amuro loved Elena OMG)

Q44: Happy New Year. I’m a fan of Haibara Ai-chan, but there was too little Ai-chan in Episode ONE. Do you want to make episode TWO about how Haibara-san became smaller?

A: Aa. You want to see a getting smaller story again, huh. Right now - no. But it had great reviews, so maybe we’ll make something like that.

Q45: Happy New Year. Err, in Amuro-san as Furuya Rei’s past there was a glimpse of Elena-sensei, do you want to draw something about it?

A: A… Right. I have to! Hm… That’s kind of difficult setting.

Audience: Wil you draw it in a RUM arc?

Aoyama: No comment! :) I told too much. Sorry, I can’t answer that.

A: "Is that so? I see! Isn't he dangerous? It's Chuukichi... I'll have to add it! He gotta get that [crown], too! If they marry Yumi will enter the Akai family... Isn't he dangerous? Chuukichi, I mean!"

A: "I haven't decided that, when is it, I wonder... Well, pick a day of your choice... I dunno! (laughs) I haven't decided that!"

Q23: "Is there any possibility of the Miyanos being alive?"

A: "None! There's none!"

Q25: "Is there something on the 30th anniversary you couldn't do or want to do?"

A: "I want to be a director... An anime director, that is... I wonder about it... Guess it must be hard"

Q26: "How different are the Kaito and Kid from MK?"

A: "They're different, right? In MK he's the protagonist, and in Conan I try to make him look like cool and there's also Akako in MK."

Q27: "Will do you Vermouth's mystery?"

A: "I'll do them, of course! But of course!"

Q30: "Could Gin and Tsutomu know each other?"

A: "It's a secret (laughs)"

Q31: "What'll happen to Heiji and Kazuha in the future?"

A: "I won't say it, I won't! Look forward to it!"

Q32: "Who's most fluent in foreign idioms?"

A: "Vermouth, maybe? Hmmm... Shinichi? He might speak a lot of words, Kappei-san will have trouble (laughs)"

Q33: "What about the MO or other old sub-plots?"

A: "I'd prefer if I could find a good way to dodge them... Won't you forget about those? (laughs)"

Q34: "What about Sharon's grave story?"

A: "A fabrication. A falsehood."

Q35: "Have you decided other numbers of the voice-changer?"

A: "I haven't."

Q36: "What about the parts cut in the NHK [airing]?"

A: "Holmes only thinks of Watson so he's just like Ran, but I was very, very curious about what happened afterwards"

Q37: "Is there some character thought to be dead but who's alive?"

A: "Huh... Huh? Said to be dead but they're alive? Ah, there is! There is, yes! I won't say who, though (laughs) But there is"

Q38: "Who's the most handsome member of the BO?"

A: "Huh... Is Amuro considered a BO member, too? He must be handsome, Amuro. Is Akai a BO member, too? I see, maybe Vodka might be handsome, too. But I think Gin is handsome.

Q39: "Will there be a series which'll overcome "Desperate Revival"?"

A: "There might be, I don't know. There might be."

Translated by: Fujiwara, Spimer and Gin

Q1: Tell me what are the favorite foods of the other Police Academy group, apart from Amuro-san!
A: Apart from Amuro? Apart from him? I dunno! (laughs)
Q: And what if you're told to draw such a situation?
A: I'll consider it.

Q2: "What does Gin do on New Year's Eve?"
A: "Hmmm... Well... Maybe he watches the Red and White singing contest (on NHK TV). Vodka asking "which do you think will win, boss?" and Gin replying: "Black will win, black will" (laughs). Yes, I'm sorry."

Q3: What is your favorite thing in Animal Crossing?
A: Ah, Animal Crossing? I guess that it's remaking and making rooms. I even made a new room called "Prussian blue fist", so come and see it (laughs)

Q4: Can you imitate the Conan characters?
A: I can't

Q5: When you draw DC, where do you start?
A: The eyes! I start with the eyes!

Q6: "What's your favorite color?"
A: "I'm Aoyama so it's ao (blue)"

Q7: Last year, in the anime... Onimaru and Okita-kun appeared. Onimaru-kun's voice wasn't Horikawa-san, but... Does that mean that it'll be done in YAIBA?
A: Oh dear. I'm not sure if I should say this, but... I was very disappointed. Horikawa-san is around, so why is it not his voice? Afterwards I complained to the anime staff and the producer. But, oh well, the replacement VA did it pretty well, too.

Q8: What are the chances of Amuro's family appearing? Since he's a half-blood...
A: Ah, Amuro's family? Ah, his father and mother? Hmmm.. .Well, I can't say, but please look forward to it (laughs)

Q9: I think there has been no case that takes place in Tottori, but...
A: No, there was
Q: Huh? There was?
A: The one in Doll Ridge. That's in Tottori.
Q: Ah! Can I ask 1 more thing? If you opened a curry shop, what would the name be?
A: Huh!? The question (topic) changed completely! Curry!? Huh!? I made curry for one of my assistants back when I debuted, and it was named "Yocchan Curry". Because my real name is written as "Goushou" but read as "Yoshimasa". (So) I guess that it'd be "Yocchan Curry".
Chairperson: You can't drink water with this curry, can you?
A: Indeed
Q: I hope it's soft curry
A: Oh yes
Chairperson: True. There are passionate Conan fans but recent fans too, so maybe this (fact) was unknown to some of them
A: (laughs)
Chairperson: There are products of Tottori, too. All buildings are real. I was surprised. I did think it was amazing.
A: I wrote too much in Tottori dialect (in the case) and other regions' persons didn't understand it so they complained to me (laughs)

Q10: Tell me about surprising, odd or the motivation about tricks or ideas you've thought of
Q (Aoyama): Hm? That's hard
Q (person): At the start... How you think of them...
A: Hmm, well let's see... The cypher of the school trip, or ones made by shifting names. I like coming up with those. It was very fun to gather the hard-to-read names of Kyoto locations and thinking with them along with the editor.
Chairperson: You might've been asked before, but... Is there a "how about you make it like this"? Some level of... I mean, of requests?
A: Yes, there are.

Q11: I thought that Conan's clothing is very fashionable. Are there ages or brands that you like?
A: I have a lady friend choose them for me so in most cases, her tastes get reflected (in the manga). I'm not too sure about that. In the past I saw (outfits) in An-An, Non-No, OLive. Thought up clothes for Ran-chan and so. But nowadays, I'm sorry to say that I don't know (the origin of the clothes ideas).

Q12: I like the Furuya Rei that you draw. Please tell me if Furuya-san with a suit will appear in the magazine
A: Ah. I guess that... he will? I don't know. Well, the next... When this case with Kyougoku is over, Amuro-san will appear in the next (case). But he doesn't wear a suit, though. It's a snow mountain. And a mountain villa so it's a long (case).

Q13: I like Kaito Kid, but will Amuro-san make him go through a sour experience?
A: Oh, true. It'd be fun if he did. I haven't thought of it yet but I will think about it.

Q14:I like Kaito Kid. What's your favorite Kid story (in both Conan and Magic Kaito)?
A: I like Sun Halo, which I recently drew. I like his convos with Aoko-chan.

Q15: There are several characters who swallowed APTX4869 and shrunk. But is their physique when they become shrunk different from their actual physique when they had that age?
T/N: for example, if Conan's current physique is the same he had when he was actually 6/7 years old
A: It's very different. Depending on the effects of the drug.
Q: Will that be clarified in the manga?
A: Well... It might. It's a difficult point. Yes.

Q16: I wondered why the RX-7 is Amuro-san's car? Is there a model?
A: It's RX78 that Amuro from Gundam had. And, well... Why an RX, you wonder? Because the Gundam producer back then rode in one. So I thought "let's make it a white one for Amuro" and had him ride it.

Q17: I think that you get fan letters, but do you acknowledge the names of people who've sent fan letters for many years in a row?
A: Ah, yes. I do remember people who send me things each week. I did think it was amazing. They include illustrations. I remember (the name). Will that do?
Chairperson: Each week?
A: There's someone who sends them along with "my episode".
Chairperson: That's rejoicing.
A: Rejoicing, yes.

Q18: I like Amuro-san. What's your favorite scene or words of Amuro?
A: "Ah... That one, I guess. Sure. "It's just because the man I hate so much I'd like to kill him is a leftie...", that one was good, yes?
Chairperson: They're all amazed by your words
A: Really?

Q19: You wrote in the SDB that Amuro-san was going to be a bad guy, but... What kind of character was he originally going to be?
A: He was Akai's rival within the org, that was it. He still looks like it, but he was a bad guy at the start. He was a mere bad guy but since he was cool I turned him into a good guy.
Q: Thank you very much.
A: Hm. Is that it? That'll do?

Q20: I like Scotch. Are there plans to feature Scotch's real name or an episode (about him) in the magazine?
A: It will come out. And, say, I already drew it. Look forward to it. He'll be together with Amuro. Shouldn't have said that? Is it OK? Is it OK?

Q21: When Conan and Kid talked in the toilet, I think that he said "there's a jewel you're searching for", but when did Conan get to know that?
A: Huh? Can you ask again?
Q: (Repeats question) I was wondering when he got to know that
A: Well, when, indeed? I see. That? When did he know, indeed? Sorry... It's just that... It's amazing. Wow.
T/N probably meant that it's amazing someone had spotted that

Q22: Make Conan do something in Hokuei (Tottori Prefecture)!
A: Ah, yes, yes. Hokuei, yes? I guess the city will become the scene of a murder, yes?
Q: Maybe a treasure hunt or so?
A: Treasure hunt? How peaceful!
Q: I'd be glad if it was an episode where nobody dies...
A: Ah. Well, let's see... I'll consider it. But I don't know yet. I'll place it on a corner of my head.
Q: I hope you do
Chairperson: Are you from that city?
Q: No, I am not
A: Huh? Is that so? Why (Houkei), then?
Q: Ah, no. It's simply because I've been visiting there for over 10 years so...
A: Oh, is that so? Thank you very much. (For coming) to such a cold place.

Q23: I think that Ran-chan has the spare key of Shinichi's house but I thought that she borrowed it from Agasa up until now?
A: Huh? Was that the case? Ah, is that so?
Q: Yes. She borrowed it back when the Lemon Pie story and other stories.
A: Ah. It's probably because she's now his girlfriend and so she was given it. I don't know, though.
Q: I'd like to know.
A: Yes, yes
Mutter: Really?

Q24: I like Kaito Kid. (Touchi's disciple) Yukiko-san and Kaito have met before, when he was a kid, but... Has Kaito met the other apprentice, Vermouth (Sharon Vineyard)?
A: Ah. I haven't thought of it yet. Maybe he hasn't? He hasn't, has he?

Q25: There's a lot of people who get killed or hated people who get killed in Conan, but do you have people you hate or so?
A: Hate? Someone? I don't really...
Chairperson: And someone you dislike? For example, I talk too much.
A: No, I don't mind that. Hmm... I don't really have any. I never thought of killing someone I dislike. Sorry.

Q26: I think that you are obsessive about numbers, such as "7 children" or Conan being "7" years old.
A: Is that so? Yes, yes
Q: I thought that the volumes' numbers have some rule to them... Vol. 24: Araide appears. Vol 42: identity revealed. Vol 58: Raiha Pass incident. Vol. 85: verifying the answers. Going by that rule, will the identity of Haneda Kouji, who appears in Vol. 89, be revealed in Vol. 98? Or so I think.
A: Wow! Amazing! But it's a coincidence. But maybe I will go on combining those.
Chairperson: Is that like a hint?
A: Maybe I'll do it like I'd planned it out from the start (laughs)
Chairperson: You do have it.
A: It's a coincidence.

Q27: You look like a calm person, but is there something that irked you as of late?
A: Irked me? Let's see... The (Hiroshima Toyo) Carp (Pro baseball team) is strong. It's not that it really irked me. See. Yes.
Chairperson: I guess you're the type who never gets too angry?
A: True.

Q28: What's the manga you liked the most out of all those you've read? Is there any that hooked you or...?
A: Hooked me? Chihayafuru. It's still interesting. Have it a read if you may.
Chairperson: Both the visuals and the contents (the story)?
A: It's interesting.

Q29: Will there be a movie where Akai-san and Amuro-san appear together?
A: I wonder about that
(After this there was a venue-only off the record segment!)

Q30: Between the characters' cooking, whom do you want to try?
A: Ah. Whose? Ran-chan's! Hers!
Chairperson: There was a (similar) question before. Was it "which of Ran-chan's (dishes) do you want to eat?"
A: Anything will do. They must be delicious.

Q31: The names (of the characters) in the English version of Detective Conan have been changed. With Ran being Rachel and so on. There are unique Japanese wordplay or cyphers, some get literally translated to English, but others are translated while respecting the (original) meaning. I wondered if you did have a look at them.
A: I haven't, no. It's not only English nowadays, there's tons of them such as Indonesian or French... So it feels like "do as you like".
Q: (I asked) because you did write "how will the cyphers be translated like" in the comments at the end of the volumes.
A: Ah! I see, I see! I did say that in the past.

Q32: I'm an actor so I'd like an artistic name. Please tell me your favorite surname.
A: Matsuda, yes. I like Matsuda Yuusaku.

Q33: Do you have plans to draw episodes about the police academy group?
A: I'm thinking of possibly drawing them in Zero's Tea Time this year.
Q: Will Matsuda-san appear?
A: He'll pop up, yes! I will draw most of the storyboard, too. I think it will be an story by me. I want Arai-kun (ZTT artist) to do his best.

Q34: Amuro-san is capable of doing anything, but... Are there things that he can't do no matter what or that he detests?
A: Ah, yes... A: He can't defeat Akai.
Q: Can you be more concrete?
A: What could it be? He can't come a step closer to him. He can actually win through his force but he gets nervous and can't win.
Something like that. He only dislikes Akai. Most of other things are OK.

Q35: I like both Amuro-san and Ai-chan. Will Amuro-san and Ai-chan get along?
A: Yes! Ah. But they haven't properly met yet, right? Oh, well... That's a bit of a secret.
Q: You know... In terms of age, it's a bit... Amuro-san would be like a lolicon...
A: Yes. Hey, they're bit too apart in age terms.
Q: But I also would like for them to get along.
A: I see. Hey, I don't know however. Well, they're years apart, I can't tell."
Chairperson: You can get the gist looking at his expression

Q36: It looks like everyone else is having fun, so... Do you have plans to hold a dinner show or so in a hotel or so?
A: I don't! I don't.
Q: With 50,000 or 80,000 (attendees)
A: I don't. I don't. There.
Chairperson: Would you sing in a dinner show?
A: Amuro-kun's doing that in USJ.
T/N: Universal Studios Japan

Q37: Thank you for your beautiful teaser with Hagiwara-kun and Matsuda-kun. The setting is that both of them are close friends, but Matsuda-kun spent the 4 years after Hagiwara-kun's death with a black necktie and suit. He looked like he was mourning, and kept on sending Hagiwara-kun mails he wouldn't receive. It looked like it'd overcome the domain of "close friends" but...
A: (laughs)
Q: Is there some episode in which both of them were bonded with strong ties or so?
A: Was... there? I can't say it. I can't really say it yet. I don't know if there was or not. Because I think that a lot will be delved into in the ZTT police academy (chapters). So look forward to it.

Q38: How did the romance between Mary and Tsutomu begin?
A: It might not come out
(There was venue only-info afterwards, it's off the record)

Q39: I think that, in the MK Vol. 5 special edition, there was a comment by you in which you confirmed Touichi's survival. But I think Kaito deciding on inheriting the "Kaito Kid" (title) was due to his death. How will this affect the meaning of him being Kaito Kid? Since Touichi's alive...
A: He hasn't found out yet!
Q: And if he did?
A: He hasn't found out so it's OK. He won't find out yet. I don't know.
Q: Do you plan for him to find out?
A: Well. Not yet. When he finds out, it'll all end so. Right?

Q40: There's a lot of names (in Conan) but... I like Kazuha. Is there an origin to her name?
A: Ah, yes. The wife of one of my assistants was named "Kazuha". So I thought of using it. Because it was cute.
Q: The kanji is the same?
A: It is.

Q41: In an interview a long time ago, you said that Sera-chan and Ai-chan would have a confrontation... A confrontation of wolves...
A: Ah. How nostalgic.
Q: When do you intend to draw that?
A: I hinted at it a while ago so it might happen soon... Or it might not be... Sorry. That's how I feel.

Q42: What things are you on the lookout when it comes to health managing?
A: Ah, yes. I drink green tea. And sleep a lot. I stopped sleeping 3 hours only.
Q: But you don't drink curry and green tea together, right?
A: Ah, yes. Of course not.

Q43: It's about the 2 "triple faces", Mizunashi Rena and Amuro Tooru. When seeing both the main story and ZTT; I did think that Amuro-san's time management ability is incredible, but do the 2 "triple faces" properly sleep?
A: I think that, when it comes to Amuro-kun. he doesn't sleep much. Hmmm... I'd like of him to sleep.

Q44: A lot of love comedies (of many couples) are progressing in Conan. But will there be new, other couples that'll progress into love? Those who don't have a love comedy right now?
A: Hmmm... I don't know. There might be.
Q: What about Sera-chan or others?
A: Ah, yes. Interested, no? I'll keep it a secret. Sorry. I won't offer excuses.

Q45: Haro-kun appeared in ZTT. Do you have plans to make him appear in Conan?
A: Let's see. There aren't as of now. Ah. You want him to appear?
Q: Yes!
A: Well, let's see. I'll think about it. By the way, when ZTT was planned, I was firstly asked: "Is it good for Amuro to have a dog"? I replied: "Well, yes, it is". And then "what if I name it Haro?" - I was like "That's OK". It wasn't me. It's a setting that Arai-kun thought of. It's cute, no? Yes, yes.

Q46: Have you thought, as you worked on the stories, "Ah, I failed" or "I should've done that back then"?
A: There's tons of them. Almost all of them. There's nothing perfect. I do sometimes think, when watching the anime "I should've done it a bit differently". Most of the times. I'm not perfect. Sorry.

Q47: I like Shinichi. I think that he said "I wanna be the Heisei (current era) Sherlock Holmes", but...
A: Ah... The era name will change, yes.
Q: Will he become that in another 4 months or will be (the Holmes) of the new era name...?
A: Well. When the era name changes, I'll nonchalantly update it. I think that Ran will surely tell him "ah, is that so?". Sorry!

Q48: It's about Amuro and Akai. Amuro having a feud with Akai is not only due to Scotch, but also because Elena-sensei was his first love and Akai is related by blood (to her) and so he feels like (Akai) looks like Elena-sensei? And that's why he has a feud with him?
A: No, that's not it. I think that's probably not the case. Also, Akemi is unrelated too. Unrelated.

Q49:The Zero and Black name cards fairs. We got a lot of info then. How much of that do you supervise?
A: Most of it.
Q: So most of what Amuro said then is (supervised), too? Him saying that Hagiwara was the most popular (with girls) of the police academy group...
A: Ah. I did tell them to add that. Was that good?
Q: Yes!
A: (chuckles)

Q50: Will there be episodes in which Shinichi will be active?
A: Well! I guess there will be. See. Since he's now in a relationship. Well, look forward to it.

Q51: The Poirot master only appeared once in the anime, but... Will he appear again?
A: That's right. He hasn't appeared. It's a mysterious character who never appears.

Q52: Kazami, an anime original character, has appeared on the manga. I think that he has some involvement with Scotch since they're both PSP. Have both of them met before? Are they boss and subordinate or so? Since Kazami is older than (Scotch). How's it like?
A: I wonder about that. I don't know. Well. Look forward to it.

Questions by youth (below middle school age):

Q: I want to be your assistant when I grow up. Is there something I should already do, or something I have to get?
Aoyama: Hah, hah? Assistant? Well, you have to draw the best you can. Assistants need to draw backgrounds, too.
I think that it's faster if you become RXa mangaka instead (laughs)
Please do your best.

Q: How do you come up with character name?
Aoyama: Well, I have them match the cases. Hum... I simply come up with them.

Q: What do you to improve drawing, such as in the Conan drawings?
Aoyama: Draw the best you can, of course (laughs)
If you want to be good at it, become good at it.
Presenter: You can begin by imitating others.
Aoyama: Good point. If you draw copying skilled people, I'm pretty sure you'll become good at it. It's alright to do so.
Presenter: Tracing is a good point to start from.
Aoyama: Good point. That's also OK.
Presenter: Please give it a try.

Q: Between Ran and Sera-chan, which do you think is stronger?

Presenter: I see. Are you sleeping more lately?
Aoyama: A lot more, of course.
Presenter: But even so you'd like to sleep for 10 days...
Aoyama: Well, you see, one's not that young anymore...
Presenter: Oh no, that means that you're really busy.

Question by person chosen by lottery:

Q: Which one is the best trick you've ever shown in Conan?
Aoyama: Ah, the trick? There's a lot that I end up "should've done something else", but...
Hmmm... The Kiyomizu temple cipher was pretty good in my opinion.
Questioner: I also like it.
Aoyama: Hah, hah, hah (laughs). Thanks a lot.

Q: Teru-nee, of the Earth Ladies, liked Shinichi (Volume 32). Did she see the news of Shinichi, who was believed to be dead, being actually alive? (School trip chapters).
Aoyama: Ah... She might've. Talk about a nostalgic name (laughs)
Questioner: I'd be happy if she appeared again.
Aoyama: You like her character?
Questioner: As a fellow Shinichi fan...
Aoyama: Oh. So you have empathy for her? Ooh (laughs)
Questioner: Yes. I'd be happy if she appeared again.
Aoyama: I was actually using the name of a net friend (as her nickname). Her real name is Ms. Hoshino Terumi-san.

Q: There's no plans for a Lupin Vs Kid movie?
Aoyama: Not at the moment. Sorry (laughs). You'd like to see it?

Aoyama: But of course. Tons of them. (laughs)

Q: Who's planned to be the main characters of the 2021 movie?
Aoyama: Huh? The next year movie? Not this one but the one afterwards? Ah! The one after the Akai one.
This is a secret between us, but...
(Answer at the venue only)
(TL: An audio recording of the scene reveals that he answered: "Sato, Takagi, and another 5 characters")
You'll be able to know when the next movie's trailer is shown so keep it a secret until then.

Q: Which was your favorite food made by your mother? Is there something you eat often nowadays?
Aoyama: I loved the gyoza (Japanese dumplings) she made. They were so good.
What I like nowadays... You all know that. Curry rice (laughs)

Q: What group did Akai-san specialize in college?
Aoyama: Group!? (laughs)
Questioner: I meant branch... Culture, science, etc...
Aoyama: I think it was science. It probably was science, yes.
Questioner: Science? Which...?
Aoyama: More!? (laughs) Hmmm... I don't know (laughs)
Well. I'll leave it up to your imagination.
I think he studied while playing an accordion. Yes.

Q: Will a lady like "Koegetsuei" appear to Morofushi Taka'aki-san of the Nagano police?
Aoyama: Ah. You mean the wife of the historical Koumei? Hmm... Let's see... You'd like for that to happen?
Questioner: I'd like to, yes.
Aoyama: You want to! (laughs) Aah... Well... Guess I'll give it a thought someday.
I wonder if he'd like to, though (laughs) Well, I think of it. I'll handle it.

Q: In the director's interview of the 2019 movie (Fist of Blue Sapphire), he talked about how you said, after the movie was finished "It was the blue sapphire so maybe I should've put hints of Aoko there"; if you had done that, how would've it been like?
Aoyama: Ah... See, in the end he'd return the blue sapphire to him.
And when he did he did so, saying he didn't need it, he'd said "I've got a better sapphire"...
(Applause from the audience)
Aoyama: Huh? You wanted me to actually do that? (laughs)
Questioner: Yes!
Aoyama: Really!? (laughs) That for real?
Well, I thought you wouldn't catch (the reference) so that's why I didn't (laughs)
What. So you'd actually welcomed it? Well, imagine it within your minds (laughs)

Q: Do you have any plans to draw an spin-off of Akai-san or Okiya-san?
Aoyama: Huh? A spin-off!? Ah... "Akai's Everyday" or so? (laughs)
Well... Guess there won't. I can't say for sure, though. Huh? You want me to?
Questioner: Yes!
Aoyama: I'm very busy, you know. "Wild Police Story (Original Work: Aoyama Gosho / Drawings: Arai Takahiro)" is already a hassle (laughs)

Q: (A person from Fukuoka prefecture) Not many cases happen in Hakata, but do you dislike the city?
Aoyama: O-o-of course not, I don't dislike it or anything (laughs)
Thought it'd be hard to. But there was a detective from there.
The tomboy (Koshimizu Natsuki). (Volumes 54-55).
I had Yamaguchi Kappei-san fix (her speech) and it was a hassle. Yes.
Well, if I get Yamaguchi-san's consent, then... (laughs)

Q: I like how Amuro-kun is helping Heiji-kun who likes Kazuha-chan (Volume 92). Will we see Amuro-kun giving advice to people in a relationship?
Aoyama: It's not his style (laughs)
Questioner: Thought that it'd be fun to see if he was encouraging high school students...
Aoyama: Ah, is that so? I'll tell Arai-kun (Zero Tea Time author) about it (laughs)
Questioner: If possible, I'd like for it to happen in the main manga...
Aoyama: Aah... I see. Understood. Yes. I will handle it (laughs)

Q: Will some case in Hokuei?
Aoyama: You want a murder to happen there...? (laughs) A murder, you know...? (laughs)
Questioner: I thought that (any kind of case) would do...
Aoyama: Oh well, I'll place it in a corner of my head. I'll handle it positively (laughs).

Q: There's a lot of childhood episodes which are important; there was an episode of Akai-san when he was 15 years old, but... Did he come to Japan often? Has he ever been to the Miyano Clinic?
Aoyama: Oh no, I guess he never went. Guess so.
Questioner: Is there a possibility that similar episodes for other characters will happen?
Aoyama: There might be. Well, I don't actually know. No, I don't know (for sure) (laughs)
Wow. I can't properly answer (laughs) Sorry for that (laughs)

Q: Which is Akai-san's most disliked food?
Aoyama: Akai's most disliked food? Huh? HUUUHHH!? (laughs)
Did he have something he disliked? Looks like he'd eat anything.
Guess he doesn't have likes or dislikes.

Q: Do you know when did Heiji and Kazuha firstly meet?
Aoyama: Well, guess it was either the nursery school or the kindergarten...
Questioner: Will it be drawn?
Aoyama: Would you like to see it?
Questioner: I'd like to.
Aoyama: Really? (laughs) I'll handle it properly (laughs). You guys like stories with children, huh? I see~

Q: When Akai faced Amuro in the Kudo's house, he called Amuro "omae (you)" in the magazine, but in the volume it was redone. Do you know the why? (Volume 95)
Aoyama: Hah, hah (laughs) Was redone into "kimi (you)" (laughs). I'd actually originally written "kimi" but...
Due to a typo it ended up being "omae (you)" instead, and so I fixed ASAP
Questioner: He often uses "omae" with others like his colleagues or his friends so... Thought it was different, and so...
Aoyama: Oh well, oh well. Thought that he'd use "kimi" instead so... Hmmm...
There's not really any deep meaning to it, see (laughs)
Questioner: Thank you very much
Aoyama: Sorry for the confusion (laughs)

Q: Akai-san stopped drinking the "Scotch" whisky, but is it due to the suicide of Hiromitsu (Morofushi Hiromitsu)?
Aoyama: It might be. He might've thought it'd been insulting. So that's probably why he stopped drinking it.
He still drinks Bourbon nevertheless, though (laughs)

Q: (Participant from China) Tapioca has become a fashion in Japan recently. Do you like Tapioca?
(Participants laugh)
Aoyama: Tapioca? (laughs) Not really... (laughs)... They say it actually makes you put on weight so...
Before it was fashionable it used to be found in a curry house named "Thally".
I drank it before it was fashionable. Afterwards, I haven't tried it again.
Questioner: Could there be a "Tapioca Murder Case" in the future?
Aoyama: Hah, hah, hah! (laugh) Someone mixes in poison in a Tapioca!? (laughs)
I'll handle it properly (laughs)

Q: When are the stories for the movies decided?
Aoyama: The director, the scriptwriter and other staff come to my home.
And then we decide "let's go with this". Well, generally, we decide on them pretty early.
It's decided upon about a couple years before (release) (laughs)

Q: The next movie title is normally read in English (write as "kobushi" and read as "fist"); but this time it's read normally (written as "dangan" and read as it is). Is there some reason?
Aoyama: Sakurai-san, the scriptwriter, asked "How about "The Scarlet Bullet (dangan)"?
And we said "well, let's go with it" and decided on it at once (laughs)
Nobody objected (laughs)
And now that it's been decided nobody will suddenly say "let's use "bullet" instead".

Q: Among the dishes that Yukiko-san taught Akai-san (Okiya-san), are there others that he's mastered apart from the curry, stew and the meat and potatoes that have been shown in the manga?
Aoyama: There might be (laughs) He's pretty good at stews, after all (laughs)
His usual trick is "I made too much food so I brought it (to the Agasa home)"
so he knows a lot of dishes like that
He might also make cream stews. I don't know for sure, though.
Beef stroganoff, pot-au-feu or the likes are things I think he makes, too (laughs)

Q: When Sera-chan was younger, she met Akai and Scotch at a station's platform; did the trio of Rye, Bourbon and Scotch often go on missions together?
Aoyama: Oh, no! (Back then) it was a coincidence.
Questioner: I hope you can tell us more about Rye when he was in the organization; in an spin-off or so...
Aoyama: Aahh... Yes, yes. I'll consider it (laughs)

Q: What are the best 3 types of curry that you recently had?
Aoyama: Bondy Curry restaurant is the best (laughs)
It'd seem that Bondy is rendezvous spot for Conan fans so lately it's hard to go there (laughs)
As for the 2nd and 3rd, I go to similar places...
Questioner: I thought you also liked the Matsuya curry, too...
Aoyama: Oh, you know a lot. I like it, yes. If I had to compare before and after the renewal, I guess I liked it before?

Q: Is there something that Akai-san often wears as a good luck amulet?
Aoyama: A-Akai!? Akai (being superstitious)!? (laughs)
The knit cap (laughs) Sorry (laughs)

Q: Do you plan to draw an episode about what led to Amuro buying the Mazda RX-7?
Aoyama: Oh yes, there will be (laughs) In the Hagiwara Arc. (WPS)
(Applause from the audience)
Huh?? (laughs) Hagiwara is actually very good at driving, better than Amuro even (laughs)
Look forward to it. I guess the Hagiwara Arc will come after the Date Arc.

Q: (The ages of Hagiwara and the others have been established in WPS, but since Amuro-san is 29 right now, and seeing how Hagiwara-kun died on the line of duty 7 years ago, this is contradictory). I'd like to know how did Hagiwara get assigned to the riot police after graduating the Police Academy.
Aoyama: I guess he was very adaptable. And so got there at once.
He died running fast (laughs)
Aaah, well. Pretend that contradiction doesn't exist (laughs)
Think of a way to solve that by yourselves.

Q: When did you think of the Yumi and Shuukichi couple?
Aoyama: What was it? See... There was an episode in which Yumi talked about her ex, np?
Something about cats. (Volume 49)
I decided it by then.
Questioner: You already decided it'd be the 2nd son of the Akai family?
Aoyama: Oh yes, yes. Chuukichi will appear a lot in the movie so look forward to it (laughs)

Q: We'll soon reach Volume 100, but are there plans for some event?
Aoyama: (looks at the editor) Is there? There's not, right? (laughs)
Well, the (Shonen) Sunday will do their best so... Heh, heh, heh (laughs)

Q: I'd like to know who was Akai-san's first love and how old he was back then.
Aoyama: How old he was when he met his first love? I can't say that (laughs)
Hah, hah, hah. I'll leave it up to your imagination. Yes, yes.
First love... Her? I see... Yes (laughs) Sorry? (laughs)

Q: I like Kazuha, but what part of her does Heiji really like?
Aoyama: I wonder which. You like Kazuha, yes?
Questioner: Oh yes, I do!
Aoyama: That's it (laughs) That's what he likes.
Questioner: I understand.
Aoyama: You do!? (laughs) Thanks a lot.

Q: Is there some emotion or something between Ran and Shinichi has changed now that they're in a relationship?
Aoyama: Good point. I already depicted how it was hard for them to directly talk to each other. That was one thing.
Guess that's not a precise answer. I do plan on depicting more of it, so look forward to it.

Q: I think there was an episode in WPS in which the parents of the Morofushi brothers were murdered? Will it have some relevance in the main manga?
Aoyama: Ah, no. That was an episode we made for WPS so I think it won't appear in the main manga.

Q: Have ever though of "what if Prof. Agasa was the culprit"?
Aoyama: Never. Hah, hah, hah... (laughs)

Q: (Episode not yet compiled in a volume) Chuukichi said that he'd wish for Mary to meet Yumi-tan but did he introduce her to the relatives of the Haneda family?
Aoyama: Guess he hasn't yet. Or he might have. I'm not sure yet.

Q: Art books mostly focusing on Conan have been released, but are there plans to release a book having Yaiba, the short stories, Magic Kaito and all of you color drawings?
Aoyama: (looks at the editor) There aren't. For now. But, oh well. I'll consider it.

Q: In the episode of the "Mermaid Island", there was "Shiho Miyano" written in the guestbook of visitors of the island. Please tell me about it. (Volume 28)
Aoyama: Ah, yes. Well, she came once to investigate that long-living person. She came once as a scientist; that's a trace of her visit.

Q: What is KID good at apart from magic, and what does he dislike? Is he good at singing?
Aoyama: Guess he's not that good at singing. As for dislikes, he hates fishes.
Questioner: And apart from food?
Aoyama: Hmmm? Guess he dislikes Hakuba (laughs)
Questioner: And what is he good at?
Aoyama: Apart from magic? What could it be? Stealing? (laughs) Also, he can actually drive cars

Q: I think there were depictions that showed Gin and Vermouth being something like lovers, but... Will similar depictions appear in the future?
Aoyama: Oh, well, let's see... I don't know (laughs)

Q: When will Furuya-san be active again?
Aoyama: Oh yes, it'll come. When, I wonder.
Well, eventually... (laughs)

Q: I think that Shinichi is following the precedent of Yuusaku-san, but will he grow a mustache like his fathers does once he becomes older?
Aoyama: There might be (laughs)

Q: Is Furuya-san graduated from Touto University (a college within Detective Conan)?
Aoyama: I wonder about that. I haven't really decided. Would it be good if he was?
Questioner: Thought that it'd be "cool" if he was.
Aoyama: Ah, I see. Koumei was also graduated from that college...
Questioner: I see...
Aoyama: Oh well, I'll think of it

Q: Is Akai-san good at any other sports apart from Jeet Kuu Duno?
Aoyama: I think he's also good at cricket. Since he's a Brit (laughs)

Q: What is your ideal type of lady?
Aoyama: I used to like Kikuchi Momoko (laughs)
But I don't have one now. I like Gacky (actress Yui Aragaki) or so. In a normal way.

Q: Who thought of using Kusuda Rikumichi's body to make it look like Akai-san had died? He himself? Or Conan-kun? (Volumes 58-59)
Aoyama: Conan-kun was the one.
Questioner: Ah, is that so?
Aoyama: Why? (Do you sound surprised?)
Questioner: I thought that even if it'd been a bad guy, Conan-kun wouldn't think of using someone's body...
Aoyama: There was. There indeed was (laughs)
Conan-kun said "Do you intend to go with my plan?".
Questioner: I was a bit surprised.
Aoyama: I thought about (that plot) from quite a while before (it happened).

Q: Do you hold meetings with Arai, the author of ZTT? How often?
Aoyama: We meet and hold a meeting. How often? Guess at first there was a lot.
But we don't meet often for ZTT.
Since I simply fix the storyboards he brings.
Questioner: Are all those done digitally or so?
Aoyama: No, it's on paper. I fixed the printed out frames.
But for WPS instead he comes over and we do a proper meeting.
By the way, I drew all pages of the Matsuda arc storyboards (laughs)
I orally tell the editor things, such as "Kazami's incident, I think this would do "
And then Arai-kun draws it.

Q: Will there be progress between Kaito and Aoko-chan?
Aoyama: Guess they will. Look forward to it.

(Since the answer has a hearing disability, they ask through a sign language interpreter)
Q: Conan-kun realized that the tennis queen wanted help to save her mother and I thought it was amazing that he could understand Braille (volumes 71-72). Can he understand sign language, too?
Aoyama: He more or less does. He knows all Braille signs too.
Since he's very smart. Smarter than me (laughs)
Questioner: I'd like for you to draw someone who can't properly hear or uses sign language.
Aoyama: Ah, is that so? I'll consider it. Thank you very much.
Presenter: That was a strong consideration, yes. Alright. The questions corner is now over.

Questions by youth (below middle school age):
Q: Please tell us your favorite character and favorite line. (1st grade elementary school student)
Aoyama: I love all the characters (laughs)! Favorite line? (laughs) I wonder what it is. Well, I like that line, "The word 'courage' is a word of justice that encourages your strength..." (Note: Ran Mouri in Volume 31 File 7 (File 313)). Sorry it's a little difficult (laughs).

Q: Are there any plans to make the four “Earth Ladies” members appear again? (middle school student)
Aoyama: Oh (laughs)! Now that i remember (laughs) do you want them to appear? I can think about it (laughs). Do you like the group?

Questions by citizens of Hokuei:
Q: Are there any plans to make a movie with Wakasa as the main character in the future?
A: She will be more important in the next Sunday (Referring to the Magazine, File 1106-1109), but I really can't say at the moment whether there will be a whole film with her at the center (laughs).

Q: There is a scene where Ran-chan explains the Records of the Three Kingdoms, so I think I like it. Please tell me how you came to like Records of the Three Kingdoms.
Aoyama: Me? or Ran-chan?
Questioner: Ran-chan
Aoyama: Ah, Ran-chan (laughs) Ahahaha. I wonder what. Yeah. Maybe she saw a puppet show on TV... There was a puppet show on TV a long time ago, hmm, but not now. Or maybe she read about it in a manga or something. Sorry for the lame answer (laughs).

Q: The other day, you commented via Animal Crossing that you want to try out the curry at Conan's Kitchen, is there anything you would like to see on the menu when you return to Hokuei Town in the future, or would you like to see local ingredients used?
Aoyama: Is there? watermelon…? (laughs) I love watermelon, so I thought of watermelon as something like a dessert... I only eat it in the summer. Even if I come back in winter, I won't eat it (laughs), right? Well, it's like that. (laughs)

Q: Is there any story between Morofushi brothers that is not yet revealed?
Aoyama: I wonder what it is. I've made most of it public. There's not much sibling fighting...I guess so. Well, let's keep it a secret for the future. (laughs)

Q: What club activities will Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko of the Detective Boys be involved in when they become high school students in the future?
Aoyama: Eh? (laughs) I don't know. (laughs)
(audience laughs)
Aoyama: I think Genta is probably more of a sports person, but I don't really understand the other two (laughs) Well... Mitsuhiko will probably be popular (laughs) Genta will be extremely strong. Ayumi-chan will look as cute as ever.
Host: What about club activities? (laughs)
Aoyama: I haven't thought about it yet. (laughs) Sorry. (laughs)

Q.Will there be any future storylines in which the characters are deduced from three candidates like in the case of Bourbon and Rum?
Aoyama: Ah (laughs) I'm trying to bring out a strange old man now. I'm thinking of going with a strange old man series (laughs) (audience laughs) I'll be doing things like, "Who is this guy?", so please look forward to it. (laughs)

General questions:
Q: I think you said in an interview that you already have a clear idea of how "Detective Conan" will end at some point, but I'm curious about how "Magic Kaito" will end. Aoyama-sensei, to what extent are the chapters organized?
Aoyama: Well, it's pretty much decided (laughs) And I also plan to finally have Aoko's mother appear before the series ends.

Q: It was really cute to see Sonoko not wearing a headband in the movie “Detective Conan: Fist of Blue Sapphire,” but is there any hope that she will take it off in the manga?
Aoyama: Oh, then let's try it at least once (laughs)
Questioner: Thank you!
(Big applause from the venue)
Aoyama: Huh? Really? Is that so? so much? (laughs)

Q: I don't think Shinichi-kun has appeared for a while, but if there are any plans for him to appear next, please let me know.
Aoyama: That's right, it's about time again (laughs), and now I'm really thinking about it (laughs)
(audience laughs)
Aoyama: So everyone, look forward to it! (laughs) Where there is a will, there is a way! (laughs)

Q: I think Conan speaks many languages, including English and Russian, but how did he learn to speak them? How many languages can he speak?
Aoyama: I think he can speak quite well (laughs) but I think his father taught him when he was in Hawaii. (laughs)
(audience laughs)

Q: Please tell us about Genta-kun, Ayumi-chan, and Mitsuhiko-kun's future dreams.
Aoyama: Is it a dream for the future? (laughs) It's difficult again~ (laughs) I haven't thought about it (laughs) Hmm... Mitsuhiko-kun still likes Haibara-san and Ayumi-chan, and I think he's thinking about how to date them (laughs) I think he's doing his best. I wonder what Genta-kun is like... Ayumi-chan too... Hmm, that's difficult (laughs) I'm sorry. (laughs)

Q: (Kenji) Hagiwara appeared in the movie and the manga once, and his older sister Chihaya also appeared in the manga, so can we look forward to more appearances from the Hagiwara siblings in the future?
Aoyama: Why not! (laughs) I'll do my best. (laughs)

Q: Is there any small graphic difference when Kaito Kid dresses up as Shinichi?
Aoyama: Kid and Shinichi? Kid is an ordinary pervert, and Shinichi is a pervert with a serious face (laughs) I guess that's about it~ (laughs)
Questioner: I think only Ran-chan can tell the difference, but how do you tell them apart?
Aoyama: Well, Kaito is the more naughty one (laughs) I did it in the movie too.

Moderator: Are you serious?
Aoyama: That's right (laughs)
(audience laughs)

Q: I would really like Aoyama-sensei to make a movie. Do you have any plans to make one?
Aoyama: Huh? Huh? Huh? (laughs) Me? (laughs) Hmm, but I guess it's impossible. (laughs) It's almost like I'm still making it even now.
Questioner: If you were the director, what kind of story would you create?
Aoyama: I'd say it's an original, or something I've written before...I guess.
Questioner: Are you talking about Conan?
Aoyama: No, I think it's probably a collection of short stories (laughs) I'd like to film it as a live-action film.

Q: Will Conan-kun use the APTX4869 in his pill case? Or will Mary use it...Will there be any development?
Aoyama: Ah, for now, what's in the pill case isn't APTX4869, but an antidote, but whether he'll take it himself or use it on someone else is a secret (laughs) Look forward to it.

Q: Regarding the AR secret story project for Volume 100 of Detective Conan, during the conversation between Akai and Bourbon, Akai said to Bourbon, "Looks like you are not wearing your Poirot's apron today." Has Akai ever been to Poirot?
Aoyama: Well? (laughs) That's a gag (laughs) I don't know, he might have heard it from Camel. I don't know (laughs) Sorry (laughs)

Q: Who has the best driving skills in “Detective Conan”?
Aoyama: Probably Camel. He's really got something behind the wheel.
Questioner: I'm a big fan of Akai...
Aoyama: Akai is also good though. Both are pretty cool. Well, I think (Kenji) Hagiwara is the best. Unfortunately he's already dead, you see. Sorry (laughs)

Q: I draw illustrations. Aoyama-sensei, what do you keep in mind when you draw illustrations that capture people's hearts?
Aoyama: Well, I'm drawing the characters to be cool and cute (laughs), but not much else...hmm. Other than that, I sometimes also look at illustrations by people who are good at it. It's good to see that these kinds of illustration are popular these days. It's difficult (laughs)

Q: Regarding the opening theme song and video, Maki Ohguro said at a concert, "When it's Mai Kuraki's, it is cute, and when it;s me, it is cool." Is the atmosphere of the opening video decided according to the song?
Aoyama: You'll have to ask the people at TMS about that... (laughs) I'm not telling you to do this here (laughs) Sorry (laughs) I don't know (laughs)

Q: How does Heiji-kun think about Momiji-chan?
Aoyama: Her boobs are big... (laughs)
(audience laughs)
Questioner: Is he not aware that Momiji is crazy about him?
Aoyama: He has no idea. He's always just wondering why she's acting so strange!

Q: Will there be a fight scene in the future where Gin fights an opponent without using a gun?
Aoyama: Gin? Ah, but when he fought the FBI, he used his feet to kick them. (Detective Conan Volume 100) That's about it (laughs) I don't really understand (laughs) Um, well, he mostly used handgun.

Q: Will there be any future developments regarding Rum's driver?
Aoyama: Rum's driver? Well, not that much… I have my assistants draw that one...(laughs)
Questioner: Are they member of the organization? Do they have code name?
Aoyama: They're member. There're no code name.
Questioner: No, right? Got it. Thank you very much.
Aoyama: But they will appear one after another starting with the next Sunday (Note: referring to the magazine). Please look forward to it.
Moderator: Will the people who are not the person the questioner is talking about come up?
Aoyama: Yes, look forward to it.

Q:If you were to draw another case set overseas, where would it be?
Aoyama: The setting for the next Sunday issue will be in New York. That's right. Please look forward to it.

Q: There was a story that Shuichi Akai played the accordion in the past, for some time we only see him as Subaru Okiya... Is there any hope that we'll see him play the accordion one day?
Aoyama: (looking eargerly) Do you want to see it? (laughs)
Questioner: I want to see it (laughs)
Aoyama: Yes, me too (laughs) Well, I'll think about it (laughs)

Moderator: I've already said it (laughs)
Aoyama: I need to make a note of what happened to Sonoko's headband... Well, maybe later..

Q: How do you decide on the composition and colors for movie teaser posters?
Aoyama: Ah~ This time it is Black Iron (Movie 26), so it is a bit black. It's blackish with a touch of blue. Well, it pretty much goes along with the title. Blue Sapphire (Movie 23) is also blue. Crimson (Movie 21) is red. It's like that. There are only 4 patterns. Red, green, blue, and a slightly sepia-ish yellow. It's one of these.

Q: Is there any story of Rei Furuya that you absolutely want to draw?
Aoyama: Huh? A story you want to draw? Rei Furuya...not Amuro?
Questioner: Ah, well, either is fine (laughs)
Aoyama: Either is fine (laughs) Ahahaha. Eh, I don't know (laughs) Well, I'd like to draw something with Kazami again. Wait a minute, that's normal (laughs) Well, I'd like to draw something related to public safety.
