Most 8X and 9X generation individuals likely have fond memories associated with the manga series Detective Conan. For over 20 years since its debut in Shounen Sunday magazine published by Shogakukan, the captivating adventures of the young detective Shinichi Kudo, who is transformed into a child named Conan Edogawa, continue to enthrall audiences. As of now, the series remains ongoing, with no signs of concluding its thrilling mysteries.
Despite the long-running nature of this series, creator Gosho Aoyama has still found ways to inject fresh ideas. Occasionally, he has drawn inspiration from real-life figures, incorporating their likenesses into characters or using them as models for famous detectives in the series. Alternatively, these appearances could simply be a playful nod from Gosho to entertain us.
