"Detective Conan" is a mystery manga about high school detective Shinichi Kudo, who is transformed into a child by a poison administered by men in black. He takes on the name Conan Edogawa and solves numerous challenging cases while tracking down the organization responsible. The manga has been serialized in "Weekly Shonen Sunday" since 1994, with the TV anime starting in 1996 and the theatrical anime beginning in 1997. It has become a nationally beloved series.

The latest film, "Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram," attracted 630,000 viewers and grossed 960 million yen on its first day.

The story of this film is set in Hakodate and features a showdown between Heiji Hattori and Kaito Kid. Heiji, who has repeatedly missed opportunities to confess his feelings to Kazuha, faces off against his old rival Kid.
