'''“Media Arts Division – Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award” Manga Artist: Gosho Aoyama'''
 +
 +
 +
'''Gosho Aoyama:'''<br>
 +
“I’m very happy—truly. It still hasn’t quite sunk in yet, but when I think about the people who have received this award before, they’re all incredible figures, so I wonder whether it’s really okay for someone like me to receive it. Still, if it’s something I can receive, I’ll gratefully accept it.”

<br>
 +
'''Gosho Aoyama Interview'''
 +
 +
'''Q:''' You’ve continued creating for many years. What has been your driving force?<br>
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Without a doubt, it’s the fans. Their comments on social media and messages in fan letters—hearing them say “It was great”—those words really give me strength.
 +
 +
 +
<br>
 +
'''Q:''' What are your guiding principles when drawing Conan?<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' I’ve said this many times before, but: I don’t make Conan cry.
 +
When the person doing the reasoning starts crying, it would be disrespectful to the culprit. So in my mysteries, the detective role hardly ever cries.
 +
 +
 +
<br>
 +
'''Q:''' There are many mystery works out there. What do you think is the unique appeal that only Detective Conan has?
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Since it’s enjoyed by both children and adults, I think what works well is how we include Romantic Comedy elements and skillfully weave in humor. Mysteries tend to be pretty grim and intense, so it’s usually hard to add comedy, but I think Conan manages to incorporate it well.
 +
 +
 +
<br>
 +
'''Q:''' How do you feel about the theatrical films—on which you also worked on the original drawings—being highly praised?<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' “When I watch them and my own original drawings appear, I feel embarrassed—it’s hard to put into words. But when people are happy because of my original artwork, that makes me very happy. It gives me a sense of fulfillment as an artist. I always say, ‘Let me draw the good scenes,’ so please look forward to it as well (including the April theatrical release).”
 +
 +
 +
<br>
 +
'''Q:''' What do you think about the excitement and growth in your hometown?<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' “I’m very happy. I was a bit disappointed that the camel-themed trick art was changed before I could take a photo of it, but once it’s renewed, I’d like to take pictures with the new trick art again. If Conan helps bring excitement and vitality, and the prefecture benefits from it, that makes me extremely happy.”
 +
 +
 +
<br>
 +
'''Q:''' If a case were to occur at this Arts Selection Award Ceremony, what kind of story would you come up with?<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' Since things like the seating order and the timing of bows were all carefully instructed, I thought that could be used to set something up. There was also a female SP officer standing there—I actually wanted to interview her… (laughs)
 +
 +
 +
<br>
 +
'''Q:''' Conan has many fans overseas as well. Do you have a message for international fans?<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' When I went to Germany before, I was told, “Germans can’t understand Japanese-language codes—what should we do?” But in the end, there’s no choice but for people to study Japanese and solve them.
 +
If the riddles mix in English, then fans all over the world can probably solve them, but if you really want to understand the codes, I’d like you to study Japanese.
 +
 +
 +
<br>
 +
'''Q:''' In the films, fans are delighted when they notice scenes said to feature “Aoyama’s original drawings.” From an animator’s perspective, how do you view those scenes?<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' When I watch them myself and see my original drawings, I feel embarrassed… so it’s hard to describe. But when people are happy because of my original artwork, that really makes me happy, and it feels rewarding to draw.
 +
I usually say, “Let me draw the good scenes,” so please look forward to them.
 +
 +
 +
<br>
 +
'''Q:''' What are your plans and outlook for the future?<br>
 +
 +
'''Aoyama:''' “I feel like I’ve already accomplished many things, so my goal now is simply to finish drawing the story safely all the way to the end. It looks like it will still take quite some time, so please look forward to it.”

Original Work Detective Conan — 30th Anniversary Milestone SPECIAL
 +
 
 +
Detective Conan, serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday and created by Gosho Aoyama, began its run in 1994.
 +
To commemorate the series surpassing its 30th anniversary, a truly special project—one that can only be seen here—has been realized with the cooperation of Aoyama-sensei himself and the Sunday editorial department.
 +
 
 +
In collaboration with Taiga Kyomoto, who also turned 30 last year and is well known as a devoted Detective Conan fan, we present a special off-site edition of the hugely popular feature “Ask Gosho” for anan.
 +
 
 +
Detective Conan
 +
 
 +
“There is always only one truth!” Everything began here.
 +
 
 +
A manga by Gosho Aoyama, which began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Sunday in 1994.
 +
The collected volumes have surpassed 100 volumes, and total worldwide circulation has exceeded 270 million copies.
 +
 
 +
Incidentally, excluding special editions, all regular-edition covers feature Conan, allowing readers to enjoy his many different expressions.
 +
Volumes 1–107, ¥594 each (published by Shogakukan).
 +
 
 +
The official website for the original work:
 +
https://www.conan-portal.com
 +
 
 +
 
 +
“Ask Gosho” — anan Special Off-Site Edition!
 +
5 Questions for Gosho Aoyama
 +
Interviewer: Taiga Kyomoto
 +
 
 +
A familiar feature for fans, the “Ask Gosho” corner—where author Gosho Aoyama answers readers’ questions—appears in anan.
 +
 
 +
This time, it’s a special edition in which Aoyama-sensei responds to questions from Taiga Kyomoto of SixTONES, who is well known as a huge fan of Detective Conan!
 +
 
 +
 
 +
<br>
 +
'''{{font color|purple|Q 1:}}''' <br>
 +
In Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram, the relationship between Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba was finally revealed.
 +
When had this been planned?<br>
 +
 
 +
{{font color|purple|“In the previous theatrical film, the relationship between Shinichi and Kaito became clear, but I had always hoped there was a special connection between the two of them. I was so surprised and happy that I ended up crying my eyes out in the theater. Personally, I think Magic Kaito came first, and Detective Conan followed, so I imagined that this wasn’t an original setting from the beginning… I’m curious how this decision was made and how it developed.”
 +
(Kyomoto)}}
 +
 
 +
'''A 1:'''<br>
 +
'''Actually, this was decided quite a long time ago.'''<br>
 +
When Kaito Kid first appeared in the original manga, Kappei Yamaguchi, who voices Shinichi, said,
 +
“If Kaito and Shinichi look alike, then I should voice him too, right?”
 +
And I was like, “…Ah, yes, that’s true” (laughs).
 +
So we decided to make them cousins (laughs).
 +
That was a long time ago—about twenty years ago, around the time the anime started. There wasn’t any particular reason for revealing it in a theatrical film. I just felt there wasn’t really an opportunity to depict it in the manga, so it was more like, “Well then, let’s do it in a movie.”
 +
Huh, Kyomoto-kun—you cried your eyes out watching that? I see—thank you very much (laughs).
 +
 
 +
 
 +
<br>
 +
'''{{font color|purple|Q 2:}}''' <br>
 +
Regarding the 30th theatrical film, how far along is the vision at this point?<br>
 +
 
 +
{{font color|purple|“I really love the sense of scale, luxury, and special feeling that so-called anniversary works have. I’m already getting excited, thinking that the 30th movie is going to be something unbelievable! How is it looking from your perspective, Sensei?”
 +
(Kyomoto)}}<br>
 +
 
 +
'''A 2:'''<br>
 +
Yes, there is.<br>
 +
'''There’s something incredible planned—something everyone has been waiting for (laughs).'''<br>
 +
Well… let’s leave it at that for now (laughs).
 +
 
 +
 
 +
<br>
 +
'''{{font color|purple|Q 3:}}'''<br>
 +
From here on, is there any possibility that a main character could lose their life?<br>
 +
 
 +
{{font color|purple|“I don’t want something like that to happen, but if it does, I feel like we have to be prepared for it… Honestly, I’d be happy if you could tell me just one thing—whether there is such a possibility, or whether there isn’t.”
 +
(Kyomoto)}}<br>
  
Q1. When did you first decide on the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Kuroba Kaito that was revealed in Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram?
+
'''A 3''':<br>
 +
Ahh—well, I don’t really know how far we should go in defining what counts as a main character, but…<br>
  
The last movie revealed how Shinichi and Kaito were related to each other. I always wanted them to have a special relationship, so I ended up bursting into tears in the theatres from shock and joy. I do personally think that this wasn’t always planned, as Magic Kaito came before Conan… or at least, that’s what I’m imagining. So, how exactly did you end up deciding on their relationship?
+
'''There is one person who is in a dangerous situation... (laughs).'''<br>
 +
If I say just this much, doesn’t that actually make it more thrilling instead?<br>
  
:A1. The truth is, I decided on it a pretty long time ago.
 
  
:When Kaito Kid first appeared in the [Conan] manga, Yamaguchi Kappei - who voices Shinichi - asked, “Since Kaito and Shinichi look similar, I’ll be voicing him, right?”
+
<br>
 +
'''Gosho Aoyama'''<br>
 +
Born in 1963, from Tottori Prefecture.<br>
 +
He made his debut as a manga artist in 1986. In addition to this work, his major titles include Magic Kaito and YAIBA, among others.<br>
 +
In March of this year, he received the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award in the Media Arts category as part of the Agency for Cultural Affairs Art Encouragement Prize.<br>
  
:Then I went, “…Ah, you’re right.” (haha)
 
  
:That’s when I decided to make them cousins (haha). So it was a while ago, a whole 28 years ago. It was around when the anime started. The reason why I chose to reveal it in a movie has no deep meaning, I just thought I wouldn’t have the opportunity to draw it in the manga. So, I was like, “Then I’ll show it in the movies.”
+
<br>
 +
'''{{font color|purple|Q 4:}}'''<br>
 +
Are there any spin-off themes you personally would like to draw in the future, Aoyama-sensei?<br>
 +
{{font color|purple|“If there’s a character for whom you’d like to create a spin-off, or someone whose background you’d like to explore more deeply, please tell us. By the way, I personally also like relaxed, easygoing stories where no murders happen.”
 +
(Kyomoto)}}<br>
  
:Wait, Kyomoto-kun, you burst into tears watching the reveal? I see, thank you very much (haha).
+
'''A 4:'''<br>
 +
'''There are lots of them.'''<br>
 +
'''I’ve been thinking that I’d like to draw stories about the people from the Police Academy, one by one—but honestly, I just don’t have the time for it…'''
  
Q2. Do you have a vision for Movie 30 just yet, and if so how much?
+
I see, Kyomoto-kun—you like laid-back stories too. You’re kind.
 +
You’re not the type to say, “There’s not enough blood!” or anything like that, huh? (laughs). Oh—actually, the story currently being published this month in Weekly Shōnen Sunday (issues dated April 2–16) (File 1141-1143) doesn’t involve any murders, so maybe that’s right up your alley. Give it a read!
  
I do love that, well, grand, special, gorgeous feeling that yearly release works give you. That’s why I’m super excited thinking about how amazing the 30th movie might be. So, do you have anything planned out in your mind already?
 
  
:A2. I do. I have an amazing vision.
+
<br>
 +
'''{{font color|purple|Q 5:}}'''<br>
 +
Please tell us the origin story behind Hyouga Koumoto!<br>
 +
{{font color|purple|“When you said that he was modeled after me, I was honestly really happy. But I’d love to know—why was this character created in the first place?”
 +
(Kyomoto)}} <br>
  
:I have a vision that you’ve all been waiting for (haha).
+
'''A 5:'''<br>
 +
'''Back then, I received a huge number of fan letters saying things like, “Taiga Kyomoto is an incredibly big Detective Conan fan, so please let him appear in the series!”'''<br>
 +
'''That was what made me think,'''<br>
 +
'''“Oh, really—he’s that big of a fan?”'''<br>
 +
'''And that became the trigger (laughs).''' <br>
 +
That said, I couldn’t just use him as-is, so I played around with his name.
 +
As for the clothes, I searched for photos of Kyomoto-kun online and thought, “Oh, so this is the kind of stuff he wears,” and used that as reference.
  
:I’ll leave things off there (haha).
 
  
Q3. Is it possible for any member of the main cast to die?
+
<br>
 +
'''Loving Comment'''<br>
 +
'''from Taiga Kyomoto'''<br>
 +
'''“I’m looking forward to seeing the ‘cool Kogoro’ that only a theatrical film can deliver.”'''<br>
  
I would rather they didn’t, but if they can, I want to be prepared… that’s what I’m thinking. I would be very happy if you could even just answer if it’ll happen or if it won’t.
+
Kyomoto Taiga, who has loved both the Detective Conan manga and anime since he was little, says he used to enjoy the theatrical films at the cinema together with his mother.<br>
 +
“I clearly remember how much not only I, but my mother too, enjoyed them.
 +
Looking back now, I think this series must have had a sense of realism that could captivate adults even back then. Also, its flexible worldview—one that can embrace any theme or situation—may be one of the reasons it’s loved by such a wide range of generations and by people all over the world.”
 +
Although there are years when work commitments make it impossible, he tries to go see the theatrical film on opening day, and only when he can do so without hearing any spoilers at all.
 +
“For that reason, as the release date approaches, I try not to open social media as much as possible (laughs).
 +
When I watch it for the first time each year, I want to immerse myself completely in the world of the movie, so I go alone and buy only a drink.
 +
Even hearing my own chewing sounds breaks my concentration, so I don’t buy popcorn until the second viewing or later.
 +
Every year I make sure to see it at least twice, and if my schedule allows, I want to go as many times as possible.
 +
That’s because with Conan, you can watch it focusing on the mystery, or put more emphasis on the romantic comedy, or enjoy the large-scale action and explosions that are unique to the theatrical films.
 +
There are endless ways to approach it, and if you change your perspective, the fun becomes limitless—so no matter how many times I watch it, it never feels like enough.
  
:A3. Ahhh, I’m not sure how much of a ‘main cast’ member they are, but…
 
  
:There is one guy in danger… (haha)
+
Flashback
 +
When he heard that Kogoro Mouri, known as the “Sleeping (or rather, Not-So-Great) Detective,” would be featured in the currently screening film Detective Conan: The Afterimage of the One-Eyed, his feelings of surprise and joy both exploded at once.
  
:Leaving things off there is better, don’t you think? It helps get people excited.
+
Strategy
 +
“I absolutely love the sharp reasoning and capable side Kogoro showed in the 2005 theatrical film Detective Conan: Strategy Above the Depths, and in the following year’s Detective Conan: The Private Eyes’ Requiem. This time as well, I’m expecting to meet a ‘cool Kogoro’ that can only be seen in a theatrical movie. And then there’s the three members of the Nagano Prefectural Police—their mature, subdued presence I’m already excited, thinking we’ll get to enjoy a solid, full-bodied mystery.
  
Q4. Please tell me about the spin-offs you’d like to write.
+
Although he felt hesitant, saying, “Me asking the sensei questions…” Kyomoto still came up with many questions, overflowing with his love for Conan.
  
If there’s any character that makes you think “I want to write a spin-off for them,” or “I want to dig deeper into who they are,” I’d love to know about it. On a side note, I also love carefree stories where nobody is murdered.
+
“Of course, I was incredibly happy that you created the character Hyouga Koumoto by incorporating elements of myself. And the fact that he appears in Volume 100 of the collected manga, which I had been eagerly waiting for since I was little—that made me happier than words can express. In that sense as well, Volume 100 is very special to me, and even now it’s displayed in a showcase at home, still wrapped in plastic.
  
:A4. There’s tons. I’d love to write a spin-off for each Wild Police Story character one by one, but I don’t have that kind of time…
 
  
:I see, so you like more carefree stories as well. You’re kind. You’re not the type to go all, “It’s not bloody enough!” (haha) Ah, the case in this month’s Sunday actually doesn’t involve murder, so it might be perfect for you. You should read it!
+
Taiga Kyomoto<br>
 +
Born in 1994, from Tokyo. Member of SixTONES.<br>
 +
His first CD album PROT.30, released through his own creative project ART-PUT, is currently on sale.
  
Q5. Please tell me the inside scoop on how Koumoto Hyouga was created! ''[T/N: He’s the guy that Hattori pretended to be during that shrine case where he wore a mask with a voice changer to hide his identity from Kazuha.]''
 
  
I was super happy to hear that you used me as inspiration, but I’ll also be happy to learn how this character was created in the first place.
+
This character is... Hyouga Koumoto from Detective Conan<br>
 +
A member of the Kansai-based idol group "Naniwa Kids," he appears in the "Unlucky Matchmaking" story (Volume 100) and "The Curse of the Puppet Demon" (Volume 106). Upon his first appearance, he became a massive topic of conversation among fans, with people saying, "His face and hairstyle are identical—Kyomoto-kun is definitely the model!!"
  
:A5. At that time, I was receiving mountains of fanmail all saying, “Kyomoto Taiga-kun is a huge Conan fan, so please put him in the manga!” So, I thought, “I see, so he’s that much of a fan…” That was the initial trigger (haha).
 
  
:But I knew that it wouldn’t do to put you in the manga as-is, so I changed your name a bit. I also googled photos of you to see your outfits, and went “So this is the kind of clothing he wears…” while using it as reference.
+
'''Translation of Aoyama-sensei’s drawing to Taiga Kyomoto:'''<br>
 +
To Taiga Kyomoto!<br>
 +
Taiga-kun, thank you for everything~~~♪<br>
 +
Actually, I’m a huge fan of Hissatsu Shigotonin V that your father appeared in ♡<br>
