Biography

Shuho Kondo graduated from Waseda University Faculty of Law (早稲田大学法学部). While he was working at publishing house Shogakukan, he was responsible for liaising with the mangaka Gosho Aoyama and coordinating the production budget for the Detective Conan manga^[1].

Kondo loved classical literature when young; he read Journey to the West (西游记) in elementary school and Romance of the Three Kingdoms (三国演义) after entering high school. Notably, he declared that he loved the latter in particular and kept a Japanese version in both his hometown and his home in Tokyo, which he often reads.
