Magic Kaito 1412 Anime

Models

Model	Anime	Description
		This incarnation of Ekoda High School is modeled after the Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Fine Arts, Performing Arts and Classical Music (Tōkyō-to Sōgō Geijutsu Kōtō Gakkō) and its immediate surroundings, located in the Tomihisa District of the Shinjuku Ward of Tokyo.
		The police station inspector Ginzo Nakamori works at is directly modeled after the Tachikawa Police Station in the City of Tachikawa, Greater Tokyo Area.
		Akako Koizumi's mansion in Episode 5: A Temptation in Scarlet and Episode 8: The Adult's Charm is roughly modeled after the Bansui-sō, a real mansion in the Ehime Prefecture on Shikoku.
		The place she confronts Kaitou Kid on during her time stop in Episode 5 also is a real (and famous) crossing in the Ward of Shibuya, especially identifiable by the Tsutaya Building (which was renamed "Sutaya" in the episode) to the right.
		The incarnation of Tropical Land featured in Episode 7: Kaito Kuroba's Busy Holiday pretty much is Tokyo Disneyland in anything but name. The entrance gates and surrounding areas are almost identical...
		... and the Mysterious House is a dead ringer für the Haunted Mansion. The Tropical Land also features a castle extremely similar in architecture to the Cinderella Castle, both situated in the center of its respective parks.
		The skyscraper Kaitou Kid breaks into and tries to escape to Tokyo Tower from in Episode 8: The Adult's Charm actually is the Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Head Office Building, normally located in the skyscraper district Nishi-Shinjuku of Shinjuku Ward and not right next to the Tokyo Tower, as depicted here.
		Kaitou Kid returns Ryōma's Three Treasures in Episode 10: The Phantom Lady and Ryoma's Treasure to a museum which is clearly based on the Tokyo National Museum Hyokeikan and its distinct bronze lions next to the entrance, who also serve as its mascot(s). In reality, it's located in Ueno Park in the district of the same name, located in the Taitō Ward of Tokyo.
		The ski resort the Ekoda High School classes drive to in Episode 13: Stay Away From Him is inspired by the Hakuba Cortina Snow Resort (no relation to the character of the same name) in the village of Hakuba in the aptly named "Hakuba Valley" in Nagano Prefecture.
		The cinema Kaito and Aoko want to visit in Episode 22: Red Tear is a real cinema in the Shinjuku Picadilly Complex in the district and the ward of the same name.
		Before we see Kaitou Kid at "work" inside the museum at the beginning of Episode 23: Midnight Crow (Part 1: The Name is Phantom Thief Corbeau!), we get a shot of the Yasukuni Drive in Shinjuku, including the SHIDAX Building (renamed "SHIDIX" here). The museum in this Anime seems to replace the real building right next to (the left of) SHIDAX.
		Early in that same episode, Harry Nezu arrives in Tokyo at Haneda Airport, which is in the Ōta Ward.
		The skyscraper from Episode 23 - 24 in Tokyo where Kaitou Kid and Kaitou Corbeau have their duel with the organization in is - just like it was in the Manga - modeled after the look of the Yokkaichi Portbuilding (四日市港ポートビル) in the City of Yokkaichi, in real life located in the Mie Prefecture.

Yaiba

Manga

Models

Model	Manga	Description
		The unnamed jungle Yaiba Kurogane and his father live in seems to be (intentionally) highly ambigious about what jungle or even where it could remotely be. Besides the rather generous surroundings, animals like Gorillas (from Sub-Saharan Africa), Tigers (having their habitat in continental Asia) and Jaguars (who usually live in Central and South America) seem to have their habitat there.
		The airport Yaiba Kurogane, his father Kenjuro and their tiger Kategora arrive at in Chapter 1 (Yaiba Volume 1, Chapter 1) is the real Narita International Airport on the border between the towns of Narita and Shibayama in the Chiba Prefecture, which is part of the Greater Tokyo Area. It was the biggest and most important airport serving Tokyo back then, before it was replaced in this function by Haneda Airport.
		"Mount Tengu" from Chapter 13 - 24 (Yaiba Volume 2, Chapter 4 - Yaiba Volume 3, Chapter 5) Yaiba, Kagetora and Shonosuke are abducting Sayaka to and on which Miyamoto Musashi has been living for the last couple of centuries is a real mountain on the border of the cities Chino and Koumi in Nagano Prefecture.
		In Chapter 15 (Yaiba Volume 2, Chapter 6), Takeshi Onimaru is awakening the Eight Demons in a cave at Mount Fuji, which is a real volcano on the boundary between the Prefectures of Shizuoka and Yamanashi and within sight of Tokyo.
		Onimaru forces his entry into the Kokkai-gijidō, also known as the National Diet Building of Japan in the district of Nagata in Chiyoda Ward of Tokyo to take over the government of the country and remodel the building in his image of a demon castle, which he uses throughout Chapter 17 - 61 (Yaiba Volume 2, Chapter 8 - Yaiba Volume 7, Chapter 2). So, yes, Onimaru's castle is technically a real building - as this, it's one of the more important places to pinpoint the location of the fictional Yaoya District and the mansion of the Mine family, since it's pretty close to the castle.
		Kokura Station from Chapter 40 (Yaiba Volume 5, Chapter 1), at which Yaiba, Sayaka and their friends try to escape from Kojiro Sasaki to Tokyo, is a real train station in the [url=https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/浅野 (北九州市) Asano District](jp) of Kokurakita Ward in the City of Kitakyushu, situated in Fukuoka Prefecture.
		Sayaka, Kagetora, Gerozaimon Geroda and Namako-Otoko arrive in Tokyo at the Marunouichi Building of Tokyo Station (pre-renovation status) in Chapter 42 (Yaiba Volume 5, Chapter 3), which is also named as such. It's location is the Marunouichi District in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. They disguise themselves and instantly go to the Mine house by foot afterwards, implying that Sayaka's home is relatively close to Marunouichi - another hint that Yaoya Town is around Chiyoda.
		The twin tower building in central Tokyo Onimaru is about to destroy in Chapter 216 (Yaiba Volume 21, Chapter 7) is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in the Nishi-Shinjuku District of Shinjuku Ward.
		The luxurious home of the Kurogane family (or to be more specific, the house of Yaiba's sister Moroha and their mother Michiko) is modeled after the Palais du Luxembourg, in real life to be found at Rue de Vaugirard 15 in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.
