Mr. Aoyama Direct Interview
November 30th, 2017, Mr. Aoyama Gosho House.


In the [Shonen] Sunday Combined Issue #3-4, the identity of “That Person” has been finally established. I directly asked Mr. Aoyama Gosho about his mental state as he temporarily takes breaks from serializing the manga in the weekly magazine and he works on checking the storyboards from the 22nd movie.


Interviewer: Today “That person” was finally identified so I was thinking of asking you about things that everyone wants to know.
Aoyama: Yes, yes (laughs)


Interviewer: If you could please blur the bad questions… By the way… On the same day, that video that I recorded will be made public (“Sunday Webry” App Limited Publishing).
Aoyama: Huh, is that so? (laughs) Yes, yes.


Interviewer: First things first… We also asked in the video, but can we assume that is your mental state, Mr. Aoyama?
Aoyama: Oh, well… I did think that I’d have to say it at some point. I did think that I was rushing a bit too much but that it wasn’t a bad idea… A lot of fans said “It’s ##” since they the anagram hint (Volume 90, File 2) and others asked me “Is it ##?” in the New Year’s Postcards. I tried asking the editor in charge “Can I answer telling them they met the mark?” but they stopped me saying “No, that’s a bit [too revealing]…” (laughs) Ah, make sure to write this on the interview (laughs) There were also other persons who guessed the identity of the “sister outside the domain” at a very early stage in the New Year’s Postcards and I answered them “You’ve met the mark but keep it a secret (laughs)” but I ignore all questions about ##.


Interviewer: When did you decide that “####” was the Boss?
Aoyama: Oh, well… I properly decided that in Volume 30. Since it appears on Volume 30. They have to appear as the “Boss” (laughs) Or so I thought…


Interviewer: There’s a lot of conjectures on the net about “That Person”.
Aoyama: I see, I see


Interviewer: “Is it Yuusaku?”, “Is it Mitsuhiko?”, amongst others.
Aoyama: Eehh!? Nooo (laughs) They’re totally wrong. Beep (laughs) But there’s more people who’ve met the mark: it’s to be expected


Interviewer: I thought that the editor in charge at the time of Volume 30 would’ve been specially told, though…
Aoyama: Eeh? Who was the editor in charge back then…?


Interviewer: It was the 4th one. By the way, the first time that the word “That Person” appeared was in the scene of Volume 24 when he says “It’s a direct order from That Person”. You’d already decided then that “The Organization has a Boss”?”
Aoyama: To be frank, I’d decided that ever since Volume 1 (laughs) But, actually the Boss being (beep) was from Volume 24, I think… But, in truth, it’s (beep) (laughs)


Interviewer: In the video you allowed me to record a while ago, you did say that ## has some secret to them, but…
Aoyama: They have tons of them (laughs) Because (beep) is the Boss’ (beep) so they were (beep beep) and they’re (beep). Put “beep” on all of this part (laughs)


Interviewer: Obviously (laughs)
Aoyama: That’s pretty fun (laughs). Oh, he’s saying some spectacular! (laughs)


Interviewer: I do think that there’ll be a lot of those from now on, yes. By the way, ever since you decided it’d be ##, I think you’ve made some hints appear in the manga. Is “Seven Children” the first of them, like I thought?
Aoayama: True… Well, “Seven Children” is about crows, so…


Interviewer: Also, that it’s deeply related to the Organization’s official name… Or so you answered in an interview… I’ve seen such information… But the source isn’t clear (sweats)
Aoyama: What did you say? Was there such a thing…? The Organizations’ name? Did I say that..?


Interviewer: Have you decided on the Organization’s name?
Aoyama: Yes (beep-beep) is (beep), see.


Interviewer: Fantastic…
Aoyama: Yes, true, but the boss’ name…? I think it’s not too related…


Interview: By the way, there’s several theories flowing in the net like “Maybe it’s indeed the Professor?” or “James Black from the FBI?”…
Aoyama: They’re totally wrong (laughs)


Interviewer: You officially denied Agasa before, but some say that then the story isn’t beautiful…
Aoyama: That’s it’s not beautiful, that it’s not interesting… Were it to be case, all the good episodes the Professor had would have been in vain. But, see… When [Conan] faced Vermouth, he said “No good, Shinichi-kun!” and rushed there with his Beetle (laughs). My intention when I drew that is that he wasn’t the Boss, but…


Interviewer: True.
Aoyama: But despite that they all kept saying “He’s the Boss”, so… (laughs)


Interviewer: Also, ## is supposed to be dead in the manga, but…
Aoayama: Ah, true… I can’t talk about that (laughs) In due time…


Interviewer: Obviously. From what you’ve told me, from now it’ll be a very grand story, so…
Aoyama: Well, even if the Boss’ name has become clear, there’s still a lot of mysteries in “Conan” (laughs)

Interviewer: You say that it’s a lot of trouble to explain the foreshadowing to each editor in charge when they change…
Aoyama: Yes (laughs) I remember something, though… I clearly told one of them, Ithink the 9th one, for all I know (laughs) I dimly told him up to the mastermind and he seemingly thought “Just leave it up to me”. The editor in charge heard it, got emotional and said “it’s a wonderful work!” (laughs) That much I remember.


Interviewer: Rum’s identity and movements are also a point to focus upon in this episode. They’ve contacted Amuro-san and it’s very big info, so…
Aoyama: Indeed (laughs) It’s a sudden development


Interviewer: By the way, what about your recent status…?
Aoyama: I cleared the “Kan Colle” even with “Kou (Shell)” (laughs) It was the hardest insofar (laughs)


Interviewer: What about your feelings…?
Aoyama: I’m glad, of course (laughs) “Yahagi” also appeared! Now I’ve completed it!


Interviewer: Congratulations!
Aoyama: I want to finish this interview already and raise “Yahagi” (laughs) Yahagi’s lines are very good, indeed. When she gets seriously damaged… “If you want to sink me you’ll need to shoot 5-6 torpedoes at me, else you won’t be able to”… To think that all people who had her could hear to these… Cool!


Interviewer: You said that you’d wished to get her since 2-3 years ago.
Aoyama: No, I think it’s been longer… “Yahagi” never popped out. She pops out by construction but even though I did over 100 challenges she didn’t pop out. I was surprised that she was a “drop” in this event (Autumn 2017). E-3… Was is it the Boss of the E-3 first half…?


Interviewer: And you’re also playing “Tsum Tsum” alongside “Kan Colle”…
Aoyama: Ah, true! I’m crazy about “Tsum Tsum”. My favorite “Tsum” is “Peter Pan” (laughs) He’s strong (laughs)


Interviewer: By the way, how many 10000s of points do you have in “Tsum Tsum”?
Aoyama: I think it’s below 3,000,000 points. That’s my current limit (laughs)


Interviewer: Also, I can see that the movie storyboards look like the usual ones but greater, even…
Aoyama: Ah, yes! I did them with all my might! By the way, in the next movie’s climax… Conan-kun is told something by Amuro that makes him reply “Huh!?” so don’t miss it (laughs) Amuro fans must be curious about that… You can write that in the interview, but I already told Takayama-san about it (laughs) That’s there this line by Conan, that is (laughs) And she said “Gotcha” (laughs)


Interviewer: (laughs) Understood. Then should I say that your message towards the fan is that the manga and movies will still go on?
Aoyama: Indeed, I’m resting a bit now but I’m also recharging energies so…


Interviewer: This should be better said when one’s at top condition…
Aoyama: True. I might stop having 3-hour sleep during work (laughs). So the pace might slow down but until I begin to get a grip of “this works”: please wait until then (laughs)


Interviewer: Also, Mr. Aoyama, you allowed me to record you while drawing the “true manuscript” but… I think it’s unusual for you to draw a true manuscript and not a dummy…
Aoyama: Ah! True, when I drew a color manuscript for the NHK program it was a true manuscript but I guess it’s the first time I do that with a manga manuscript.


Interviewer: You used a mapping pen, though…
Aoyama: Ah! True! The touch section is a mapping pen. Pigmas don’t achieve that… I originally used G Pens and mapping pens, so even if I used a millipen I can draw lines with strength, yet… If I suddenly use a millipen from the start, it becomes smooth pictures without strength, so write that any newbies aiming to become mangaka should get used to drawing with G Pens or mapping pens (laughs)


Interviewer: Yes (laughs) And so… Thank you very much for this very important interview. Is there something else you want to say about your recent status, Mr. Aoyama?
Aoyama: Ah, I beat the boss in “Dragon Quest 11” and saw the first ending (now I’m leveling up to face the secret boss)


Interviewer: Speaking of which… You finished re-reading the manga “The March Lion” and you’re into the drama series “Policeman Yugami”, right?
Aoyama: As for anime, I like “Jewels Kingdom”, it’s good! It’s fun! Amongst the staff there’s a guy from the same college circle as me that made anime (laughs) (Mr. Sentsui Youichi) The anime and voice actors are good! The main protagonist is Oumae-chan from “Sound! Euphonium” (Ms. Kurosawa Tomoyo)


Interviewer: So that’s what you’re into lately, then… Thank you very much!
Aoyama: Yes, yes (laughs)
