Ein neues 'Hinter die Kulissen' Organisations-Booklet erscheint!

Fujiwara: From the booklet:
Fujiwara:
Ran's concept: "Saying Ran's perfect is probably saying too much, but
she's someone you'd want to have on your side. She's can fight and is a
diligent student and can cook really well.
Fujiwara:
And she's always waiting for Shinichi. Her only weakness is her fear of
ghosts. I wanted to draw a girl that is strong in many ways, as I had
never done so before."
Fujiwara:
Haibara's concept: Gosho had planned to introduce ex-BO member Haibara
from the start, even though her introduction was later than planned.
Fujiwara:
As for her character, he wanted a tsundere character who's the opposite
of Ran. Even though Haibara doesn't have much deer. But that's how he
likes her. (laughs)
Fujiwara: *dere
Zenthisoror: Kogoro: Original design was just like Nakamori.
Zenthisoror:
Gosho thought that a mystery type story would end pretty quickly so he
originally dsigned Mouri like a thinner version of Nakamori.
Zenthisoror: But then he was told that they were too similar, so he changed his hairstyle and his moustache...
Zenthisoror: When both Nakamori and Mouri appeared in the same case there was a lot of thought over which one ought to be taller.
Zenthisoror: On that front, Mouri is supposed to be taller.
Zenthisoror: He made him a detective instead of a police officer because he thought that was easier to manage,
Zenthisoror: He knows about policemen and he knows about cases. It makes things a lot easier...
Zenthisoror:
Oh sorry, I meant, the reason for the backstory about why he switched
from an officer to a detective...it makes being a private detective
easier for Mouri.
Zenthisoror: Also, his face is familiar to a lot of the officers.
Zenthisoror: The original concept of the three Detective Boys was to enable Haibara to hide amongst them!
Zenthisoror: Basically, they provided the hiding place for Haibara.
Zenthisoror: Gosho wanted a fat one, a thin and snarky one, and a cute little girl.
Zenthisoror: They're obviously inspired from Doraemon
Zenthisoror: but the personalities of all three are very different from their Doraemon counterparts.
Zenthisoror: Especially because Conan's very different from Nobita-kun (hahaha, you could say that again)
Zenthisoror: You could say that the three DB kids together are all Nobita-kun, all shouting, "Help us, Conan!"
Zenthisoror:
Genta's family run a bar/pub. Mitsuhiko's parents are both teachers.
Mitsuhiko's sister is also a teacher. Ayumi's family he's not so
sure...they live in a flat modelled on the one Gosho used to live
Zenthisoror: in...so probably not the average salaryman...
Zenthisoror: Korn: Concept: Silent, unsophisticated, and a bit of a wierdo...he's got skills though.
Zenthisoror: Things are more fun with characters like these, aren't they?
Zenthisoror: He's designed so that he looks like nobody else in the Organisation.
Zenthisoror: He's got skills as a sniper though!
Zenthisoror: The only person better than him at sniping, including Chianti, is Akai. If he's alive (hahaha)
Zenthisoror: He hates Vermouth.
Zenthisoror: For letting Calvados, a fellow sniper, die.
Zenthisoror:
It's not like there was anything particularly special about the
relationship between Calvados and Korn. It's probably just that as one
sniper looking out for another sniper, he can't forgive her..
Zenthisoror: Chianti's a girl so she dislikes Vermouth even more?
Zenthisoror: Chianti: Concept; A character who wouldn't go around sucking up to Gin
Zenthisoror: He thought the swallowtail butterfly tattoo was cool.
Zenthisoror: He thought a lot about her development and some one liners, like 'When my butterfly flaps its wings, people die'.
Zenthisoror: But snipers keep both eyes open to shoot, so that one liner went down the drain.
Zenthisoror: Her speech habits are supposed to make her seem a bit sexual.
Zenthisoror:
Fundamentally all members of the organisation with code names are
supposed to be at the same level, so Korn's supposed to be at the same
rank as Gin. It just happened this time that when they
Zenthisoror: chanced to form a team Gin came out as the most leader-like of all them.
Zenthisoror: Gin (again): Gin's about the hat and the hair. There wasn't much deep thought behind his design.
Zenthisoror:
Just that he had some kind of high leadership position in the
Organisation, but as Conan continued and looked as though it would get
longer his character development got more complicated.
Zenthisoror: 'The Aesthetics of a Killer'
Zenthisoror: He drives a Porsche 356A and carries a Beretta M 1934, so he's very particular about his tastes.
Zenthisoror: But being particular makes a character cooler? (ahaha)
Zenthisoror: He's a killer, so fundamentally he ought to be hardboiled and cool.
Zenthisoror: True, he stands out a bit in a crowd, but that's Gin's aesthetics for you.

Edogawa Conan Design:

Hairstyle: Took 1 minute, got Yaiba's hair and made it smoother. Added Mahoutsukai Sally's little brother Kabu's apostrophe. The way he drew the back of the hair came from Adachi Maru's main character of Nijiiro Tougarashi (Rainbow Chilli Peppers) Shichimi...

Fashion: Essentially, 753 wear, i.e. when you're little at ages 7. 5 and 3, when these formal photos get taken, Gosho's 753 photos have him in bow tie and shorts. He tries to keep gadgets to what Conan can wear...but he's run out of ideas of late...

Glasses: Gosho likes Superman. And when Clark Kent was hiding his identity, he wore glasses. So when he wrote Ai and Conan's conversation in vol 24, it was like a long held in secret was getting out.

Speaking Habits: Rough but kinda cool, inspired maybe by Joe from Tomorrow's Joe Barooo, and other habits might have aspects of Touch in them as well.

From Wakarimashita:

Some info for the Sera character: In the detective koushien case, the female detective despite being the culprit ended up being so popular that there was a demand for this character but it was impossible since she was the culprit so Aoyama created... Sera.

About Amuro's designing: A character who's neither Akai, neither Okiya. First character with dark skin and blond hair. A long time ago there was the character Jewell (?) in Yaiba though. The cutting and adjusting of the frames was difficult because of the white hair but digital drawing makes it easier.

About Vermouth's designing: She's the bad side of Fujiko Mine, the good side being Yukiko. Yukiko has Fujiko's hair-style. Both Vermouth and Yukiko have this middle hair-line too. Both hard to draw. It was difficult during the Train Arc because they both had a lot of panels given to them. But it was fun and the result was a success.
