== Trivia ==
*The character Detective Takagi is named after his voice actor. In the anime he was originally a nameless character called "Detective A" who would appear in the background in some episodes<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp/nl/articles/1603/29/news079.html|title=声優・高木渉が「PON!」に生出演　高木刑事＆元太の声で映画「名探偵コナン」をアピール|date=2016-03-29|publisher=https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp|accessdate=2019-06-04}}</ref>. However while recording for episode [[Night Road Murder Case|episode 66]], [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]]'s voice actor [[Chafurin]] adlibbed asking Detective A "What's your name?", to which Takagi's voice actor mistakenly responded with his own name and replied "It's Takagi" <ref>{{cite web|url=https://otapol.com/2016/01/post-5345.html|title=大河ドラマ『真田丸』に『コナン』の高木刑事が出陣中!?　ベテラン声優・高木渉の人気にNHKも東スポも驚く！|date=2016-01-17|publisher=https://otapol.com|accessdate=2019-06-04}}</ref>. While this ad-lib was not kept in for the airing, the name stuck and is used in this episode and beyond.
*Several in-jokes are made in the anime regarding Takagi's numerous roles. For example, in [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story (Part 1)]] Genta remarks that Detective Takagi is probably unpopular with girls. At the end of the episode, Takagi announces the Next Conan's Hint in character as Detective Takagi still preoccupied with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] and [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Shiratori]].
