Biography

Hiroshi Matsuzono joined the production of the Detective Conan anime ever since 1996, starting with Episode 23: Luxury Liner Serial Murder Case (Part 1). He mainly served as organizer, stroryboardist, and episode in the anime. He was notably active during the 1996-2003 period, mainly focusing on storyboard; yet after that, he ceased his involvement in the series.

In 2010, Matsuzono returned to the production team, starting with Episode 600: The Dream the Kappa Saw (Part 1); however, this time with an alias Umesaburo Sagawa[1] - the pseudonym comes from Umesaburo Sagawa, a character from The Gutsy Frog (ど根性ガエル), a Japanese comedy manga with the same name and kanji. Until 2018, after he finished working on the case Episodes 916~917: The Kendo Tournament of Love and Mystery, Matsuzono quit the Detective Conan production and has not returned yet[Note 1].
