Beika is a work in progress. This page is currently being edited. Please consider helping the users to complete the page and fill in the missing pieces if you are able.


A map of Beika City supplied in OVA 7 by Agasa.

Beika Ward (米花区 Beika-ku?)[1] (Beika City (米花市 Beika-shi?) in the expanded universe[2]) is a fictional ward of Tokyo or a city inside the Greater Tokyo Area. It's the main setting of Detective Conan and also appeared in the Zero's Tea Time, Magic Kaito: Kid the Phantom Thief Specials, Magic Kaito 1412, Hanzawa the Criminal, as well as in Detective George's Mini-Mini Big Strategy and Play It Again.

It's roughly located on the upper western part of Tokyo Bay and contains at least two districts in the manga: The homonymous Beika (Beika Town (米花町 Beika-chō?)) and Haido (Haido Town (杯戸町 Haido-chō?)). The equally fictional towns of Toriya (Toriya Town (鳥矢町 Toriya-chō?)), Okuho (Okuho Town (奥穂町 Okuho-chō?)), Rizen (Rizen Town (梨善町 Rizen-chō?)), Kenbashi (Kenbashi Town (賢橋町 Kenbashi-chō?)), Sutan (Sutan Town (須単町 Sutan-chō?)) and Buroku (Buroku Town (分禄町 Buroku-chō?)) in Tokyo may also be part of it.

The extended canon also features the original districts of East Beika (East Beika Town (東米花町 Higashi-Beika-chō?)), Beika South (Beika South Town (米花南町 Beika-Minami-chō?)), Haido North (Haido North Town (杯戸北町 Haido-Kita-chō?)) and Akebono (Akebono Town (曙町 Akebono-chō?)).

Location

Tokyo Tower is less than 1.34 km (0.83 mi) away from the Mouri Detective Agency.
The map from Super Digest Book 10+ seems to equate Beika with Minato.

Tokyo actually consists of 21 wards of this type. Although this one is fictional, some buildings and places in it are based on existing structures, which are mixed with fictional locations, and canon statements about its relative position are repeatedly made in the Manga.[3]

Beika seems to be around 4 kilometres (~2.5 miles) to the south-east of Shinjuku.[4] Conan Edogawa and the Detective Boys also took a ride starting from a bus stop at Beika Park on the real To06 bus line (都06) by Toei Bus to Tokyo Tower, which leads from Shibuya Station in Shibuya through Minato, with its final destination at Shimbashi Station.[5] They also took a detour on the way to Professor Hiroshi Agasa's house to the real Ebisu Bridge on the border between Shibuya and Minato, implying it to be close to Beika Town.[6] Masumi Sera's skyscraper hotel shares a position with the Daikanyama Address Building, which is also close to Ebisu.[7]

It's shown that the Mouri Detective Agency is located somewhere inside a radius of less than 1.34 kilometres (~0.83 miles) around the Shorodo right next to the Tokyo Tower, with Buroku and Sutan inbetween.[8] This would, in real life, partly encompass the districts of Mita, the Shiba area, Kaigan, Atago, the Shinbashi area, Toranomon, Akasaka, Roppongi and the area of Azabu, which are all in Minato. A Toei Cinema in Roppongi is also visited by Conan, Ran, Masumi, Sonoko and Makoto in one chapter.[9]

Beika Station is on the Shounan-Shinjuku Line, right after a real section of the tracks before Gotanda Station, close to the border of Minato and Shinagawa.[10] Shinagawa Station (which, despite its name, is located in Minato) also seems to be close to Haido.[11]

Conan Edogawa's and Kaitou Kid's first meeting on the roof of the Haido City Hotel is shown to be right next to the real Shiroyama Trust Tower, with Tokyo Tower right behind it, placing the hotel on the location of the ANA Intercontinental Tokyo Hotel in the Akasaka District of Minato.[12] The 4th block of Haido is firmly located between the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and Yotsuya Station.[11] The Haido Port and its surroundings, on the other hand, seem to be identical to Minato's Hinode Pier.[13]

This would make the Beika Ward largely identical to Minato Ward, overlapping with small parts of Shibuya, Chiyoda and Shinagawa bordering on it. This approach is also taken by the map from the Super Digest Book. Despite this, Minato is still its own, distinct ward in the world of Conan.

Geography

Beika Town

Beika Town (米花町 Beika-chō?) is where Conan Edogawa and a majority of the other main characters live. It consists of at least seven blocks. Like the Beika Ward itself, it is named after London's Baker Street, which is the place Sherlock Holmes lived at.

Buroku Town

Buroku Town (須単町 Buroku-chō?) is a town in or close to the Beika Ward, adjacent to Beika Town and Sutan Town and close to Tokyo Tower. Buroku and the latter are named after London's Stamford Brook, which was featured in. It was one of the two possible locations Eri Kisaki was held at during the Eri Kisaki Abduction Case.

Haido Town

Haido Town (杯戸町 Haido-chō?) is a town in the Beika Ward adjacent to Beika Town and is named after London's Hyde Park.

Kenbashi Town

Kenbashi Town (賢橋町 Kenbashi-chō?) is a town in or close to the Beika Ward and is named after the English city of Cambridge ("Cam" in Katakana is "Ken" (ケン), "bashi" is Japanese for "bridge"). Known locations so far are the Tohto Subway Kenbashi Station from the Footsteps of Darkness case and the Kenbashi branch of Tohto Bank. There is also an elementary school in its 5th block.

The extended canon added the Kenbashi Tunnel to it in The Kidnapper's Disappearing Getaway Car.

Okuho Town

Okuho Town (奥穂町 Okuho-chō?) is a town in or close to the Beika Ward. Since Hiroshi Agasa attended middle school there, it's likely to be a part of the ward, though. Its name seems to be a play on London's Oxford Street, which appeared in the Sherlock Holmes canon, too.

Known locations from the manga so far are the Okuho Middle School and the Okuho Post Office.

The extended canon added the Okuho Police Station (Intersection of Fear), Kita-Okuho Police Station (Detective Takagi On the Run in Handcuffs), Lake Okuho (The Detective Boys Become Models) and the Okuho Race Course (Thoroughbred Kidnapping Case) to it. An Okuho Station is also mentioned in non-manga stories a couple of times, which seems to be part of the Tohto Line.

Rizen Town

Rizen Town (梨善町 Rizen-chō?) is a town in or close to the Beika Ward. Rizen is probably named after London's Regent Street, which was also featured in the Sherlock Holmes canon. It was first mentioned during the Red Horse Case.

Sutan Town

Sutan Town (須単町 Sutan-chō?) is a town in or close to the Beika Ward, adjacent to Beika Town and Buroku Town and close to Tokyo Tower. Sutan and the latter are named after London's Stamford Brook. It was one of the two possible locations Eri Kisaki was held at during the Eri Kisaki Abduction Case.

Teimuzu

The Teimuzu is a river that flows through the Beika Ward. Its name is based on a Japanese transcription of the English name of the Thames in London, but its appearance is based on the Arakawa in at least one case.

Toriya Town

Toriya Town (鳥矢町 Toriya-chō?) is a town in or close to the Beika Ward, adjacent to Beika Town and Haido Town. It is named after London's Victoria Station. Known places so far are the Toriya Bridge, the ruins of Toriya Castle, the Toriya Flood Gates and the Toriya Police Station.

Trivia

  • The name of the city and some places in it are allusions to Sherlock Holmes or London and England in general: "Beika" is a transcription of "Baker", as in Baker Street, in which Holmes and his best friend, Dr. John Watson, live.[14][15] "Haido" in turn is a transcription of "Hyde", as in Hyde Park, which is close to Baker Street. "Toriya" is taken from Victoria Station, "Kenbashi" from Cambridge, "Sutan" and "Buroku" from Stamford Brook and, finally, the river "Teimuzu" corresponds phonetically to the Thames, that is, the Thames in London.
  • While the position of Beika City seems to roughly coincide with the real Minato City in the Manga, it's implied to overlap with Shinjuku City instead in most of the expanded canon (Anime Original episodes, OVAs, movies and Hanzawa the Criminal).
  • According to at least three (non-canon) maps, Tropical Land is situated in Beika, too. This has not been confirmed in any canonical media so far.
  • The characters from Magic Kaito seem to live in Beika City or close to it in the canon of Detective Conan. Kaito Kuroba's and Aoko Nakamori's way to school crosses the one of Conan Edogawa, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki.[16] Furthermore, the clock tower Kaito and Aoko met for the first time in front of is close to Tokyo Tower, which in turn is close to Beika.[17]
  • Haido has 3 bridges which are Big Haido bridge, new haido bridge and Haido Centre Bridge as shown in File 551.
  • In File 987 it's revealed that a camping site that just been built.
  • On it's fifth street it has a police box as shown ep 895.
