Aoyama Gosho gained worldwide fame as the creator of the manga series Detective Conan (known in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom as Case Closed). Despite being called Japan's Sir Conan (by us personally), his works do not always deal with crimes and detectives running around solving cases.
