Splitting the setting models article because its length is already getting out of hand - and there are still lots of models to come

New page

{{Meta topic}}
{{Under Construction}}

This is a list of real life buildings, places and other surroundings [[Gosho Aoyama]] used as reference models for the [[Setting|settings]] appearing in ''[[Magic Kaito]]''.

There will be mentions of the different (real) [[Wikipedia: Wards of Japan|wards (-ku)]] of [[Tokyo]] and the [[Wikipedia: List of towns in Japan|towns (-chō)]] they are composed of respectively a lot, which can get quite complicated and confusing if you are not knowledgable about the geography of Tokyo and how this city is administrated. Below you can see a very good map from [http://tokyomap.com/index.php TokyoMap.com], giving you a quick and simple rundown of the structure of its wards.

[[File:Tokyo Wards Map.jpg|thumb|center|The Wards of Tokyo.]]

== Manga ==
{{main|Magic Kaito#Manga}}

=== The Revived Phantom Thief (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 1#The Revived Phantom Thief|1]]) ===
[[Ekoda High School]], in this incarnation of the story is very probably based on the main building (#3) on the Ekoda Campus of [[Wikipedia: Musashi University|Musashi University]], right next to the Ekoda Campus (fine arts) of [[Wikipedia: Nihon University|Nihon University]], where Gosho Aoyama and [[Yutaka Abe]] (a past mentor and current assistant of his) studied and lived, also not far away from [[Wikipedia: Ekoda Station|Ekoda Station]], which was close to Gosho's apartment.

Interestingly enough, building #3 was a high school once and what is the Ekoda Campus of Nihon today once housed another high school associated with the university, called [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/日本大学江古田高等学校 Ekoda High School](jp) (also shortened as 江古田高校 (''Ekoda kōkō''), like the school in the manga), which closed in 1976 and is also used as a university building today. All of the mentioned campuses and buildings are located in the adjacent neighbourhoods of [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/旭丘_(練馬区) Asahigaoka](jp) and [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/豊玉上 Toyotamakami](jp) in Nerima Ward. Ekoda High School was first used by Yutaka Abe in ''[[100% Tantei Monogatari]]'' in 1986 (set in the same universe as ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' and made with the assistance of Gosho).

The crossroads the helicopters pass close to the end of the first chapter to catch Kaitou Kid is a real crossing in the fourth block of [[Ginza]] (Chūō Ward, Tokyo), especially identifiable by the [[Wikipedia: Fujiya Co.|Fujiya Store]] to the left.

The view would thus be to the southeast, with the helicopters in consequence flying to the northeast to reach Ono Bank (which probably was a nod to the [[Wikipedia: Tokyo Bank|Tokyo Bank]], which indeed was located in the [[Wikipedia: Nihonbashi|Nihonbashi District]], to the northeast of Ginza, back then (before merging with Mitsubishi Bank and moving to Chiyoda Ward), which is supported by the fact that "Ono" was a generic placeholder word for terms with "Tokyo" and "Japan" in it, used by Gosho in the same vein as "Tohto" nowadays). Interestingly, this intersection is right next to another famous crossroads in Ginza, the one Kid did his midair walk over in ''Detective Conan'' later on.

During Kaito's and [[Konosuke Jii]]'s fateful encounter, a night-time view of [[Wikipedia: Hotel New Otani Tokyo|Hotel New Otani Tokyo]] and its surroundings in the [[Wikipedia: Kioi|Kioi District]] of Chiyoda Ward can be seen.

=== The Police Are Everywhere (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 1#The Police Are Everywhere|2]]) ===
[[Kaito Kuroba]]'s route from school leads him along a river, which, based on the surroundings, looks a lot like the [[Wikipedia: Arakawa River (Kant%C5%8D)|Arakawa]] or [[Wikipedia: Edo River|Edo Rivers]] and one of their Warren truss steel railway bridges, like [https://structurae.net/structures/arakawa-river-railroad-bridge this one], [http://www.bridgeofweek.com/2012/05/tokyo-japan-bridges-toei-shinjuku-line.html this one] or [http://www.bridgeofweek.com/2012/05/tokyo-japan-bridges-arakawa-ohashi.html this one], for example. In Chapter 2 he meets the depressed inspector [[Ginzo Nakamori]] sitting at the riverbank and cheers him up and in Chapter 19 he briefly passes the same spot again.

Gosho Aoyama lived in the [[Wikipedia: Adachi, Tokyo|Adachi Ward]] of Tokyo for a while<ref>[[Interviews#Love Conan Interview]] "(...) Like, when I lived at Kita Senju, I drew surroundings having it in mind." translated by Yunniechan Kita-Senju is a district in [[Wikipedia: Adachi, Tokyo|Adachi Ward]].</ref>, through which the Arakawa flows and several of these bridges spanning it exist - so it maybe served as the inspiration for these moments.

Kaito Kuroba and [[Aoko Nakamori]] leave one of the central gates of Ikebukuro Station (Ikebukuro District in the Toshima Ward of Tokyo) on their way from school. The train station is also named as such. A chapter later it's confirmed that the [[Nakamori family]] lives in Toshima.

=== The Boy Who Bet on the Ball (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 2#The Boy Who Bet on the Ball|11]]) ===
A good chunk of this story revolves around a fake accouncement of Kaitou Kid appearing in [[Wikipedia: Tokyo Dome|Tokyo Dome]], which he does, in the end. Tokyo Dome is depicted like it is in real life, situated in the [[Wikipedia: Bunkyō|Bunkyō Ward]]. Moreover, according to Gosho Aoyama himself, he and his editor were specifically thrilled by the scenario of Kid appearing on a pole in Tokyo Dome for a story.<ref>[[Interviews#Magic Kaitou Treasured Editions: Playback Episode Interviews]]</ref>

=== Kaitou Under Scrutiny (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Kaitou Under Scrutiny|16]]) ===
The distinctive tower of the Ekoda Museum is actually based on one of three popular towers in Yokohama's [[Wikipedia: Naka-ku, Yokohama|Naka Ward]], the clock tower of the Honcho Building, also known as "Jack's Tower", or just "[[Wikipedia: Yokohama Three Towers|The Jack]]".

=== Yaiba vs. Kaito! (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#(Extra Chapter) Yaiba vs. Kaito!|18]]) ===
The new morning after the night of Kaitou Kid's and [[Yaiba Kurogane]]'s battle is symbolized by a caricature version of [[Wikipedia: Mount Fuji|Mount Fuji]], which is a real volcano on the boundary between the Prefectures of [[Wikipedia: Shizuoka Prefecture|Shizuoka]] and [[Wikipedia: Yamanashi Prefecture|Yamanashi]] and within sight of Tokyo.

=== Black Star (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 4#Black Star|23-24]]) ===
The unnamed clock tower [[Kaito Kuroba]] and [[Aoko Nakamori]] had their first meeting in front of and which is the focus of [[Kaitou Kid]]'s heist is based on the clock tower of the Koriyama Public Hall in [[Wikipedia:Kōriyama|Koriyama City]], located in the [[Wikipedia:Fukushima Prefecture|Fukushima Prefecture]], with the main differences being that the upper part was changed to the place where the bell is integrated and a bigger clock face. The clock was removed for a long time until it was reintegrated into the tower in 1998, possibly inspiring [[Gosho Aoyama]] to his story in 1999.

=== Dark Knight (MK Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 4#Dark Knight|27]]+) ===
The [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]] (also known as Keishichō) appearing from Chapter 27 onwards is the real thing from the [[Wikipedia: Kasumigaseki|Kasumigaseki District]] of Chiyoda Ward, just like it is in ''Detective Conan''. It's real address is also given in Chapter 29 ([[Magic Kaito Volume 5]], Chapter 1).

The unnamed museum from the very beginning of Chapter 31 ([[Magic Kaito Volume 5]], Chapter 3) and the whole of "Sun Halo" (Chapter 6-8) is modeled after the [[Wikipedia: National Museum of Nature and Science|National Museum of Nature and Science]] in the northeast of Ueno Park in the district of the same name, Ueno in the Taitō Ward of Tokyo.

The Sandei Temple is modeled after the [https://www.chushikokuandtokyo.org/spot_55/ Nageire Temple] in Gosho Aoyama's home prefecture Tottori, as was also confirmed by him in his [http://forums.dctp.ws/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12705&start=810#p873954 comments] accompanying these chapters. The in-story explanation is that the Sandei was directly built after the image of the Nageire (which is denied by the priestess Niwano Yasuyo).

The incarnation of [[Tropical Land]] featured in this episode pretty much ''is'' [[Wikipedia: Tokyo Disneyland|Tokyo Disneyland]] in anything but name.
