■Hiroshi Oizumi comment
This time, I will be appearing as a guest voice actor in the role of “Yoshihisa Kawazoe.”
Since the story is set in Hakodate, I always want to promote Hokkaido, so as a Hokkaido native, I was very happy that Conan would be set in Hakodate.
I am also very honored to have been offered the role as a guest voice actor.
Yoshihisa Kawazoe, a detective, is a bit clumsy and unreliable as I play him, but he is also cool. I don’t know if he’s good at it or not…I think it’s a role that’s close to mine.
I want you to see how active I am as soon as possible! Let’s arrest them all!
I’ll catch everyone from Conan to Kaito Kid (lol)! Please look forward to!

■Producers: Comments by Hideho Kondo, Takeshi Shioguchi, and Yuhei Okada about the reason for their appointment
The setting is Hokkaido. At first glance, he is a clumsy and disappointing detective, but he is a loveable character who holds important information.
I have no choice but to ask Yo Oizumi for this! That’s what I thought.
I am very happy that Mr. Oizumi, who is recognized not only by Hokkaido residents but also by people all over the country as a “star born in Hokkaido,” will be able to participate in this work.
With “Detective Conan x Hiroshi Oizumi”, we would like to excite not only movie theaters but also Hokkaido and all of Japan!

A notice from Kaito Kid has arrived at the storage room of the Atoe Zaibatsu in Hakodate, Hokkaido. Kid’s target this time is a Japanese sword related to Toshizo Hijikata, the vice-commander of the Shinsengumi who lived during the end of the Edo period.

Meanwhile, Heiji Hattori, the great detective of the West, and Conan and his friends are also visiting Hakodate for a Kendo tournament.
On the day of the crime notice, Heiji sees through Kid’s disguise and corners him, but…! ?

At the same time, his body with a cross-shaped cut on his chest is found in the Hakodate warehouse district. The investigation uncovers a Japanese-American man known as the “Merchant of Death” who operates as an arms dealer throughout Asia. He was looking for a treasure that was said to have been hidden somewhere in Hakodate by the first head of the Akie family, who was deeply involved in the military industry during the war. There were also rumors that it was a weapon so powerful that it could completely change the course of the war, which looked like Japan would be defeated at the time. And it seems that the treasure and the sword that Kid is aiming for are related, and as Kid aims for the sword, the shadow of a mysterious “swordsman” approaches…

The “truth” hidden in the sword cuts through the dark night and leads us under the moon.
