Conan × Fist of the North Star

To promote the film Detective Conan: The Fist of Blue Sapphire (名探偵コナン 紺青の拳), released on 12 April 2019, Tetsuo Hara and Gosho Aoyama drew a colour shikishi together, a collaboration born of the “拳” shared by both titles. The shikishi brings together Kenshiro, the adult Lin, Makoto Kyogoku and Conan, and bears both artists’ signatures. A video shows the drawing session. In it, Hara said he would like to be taught how mysteries are solved, and Aoyama hailed him as the man who laid the foundations of martial arts stories. Alongside it, a fight video featured Kyogoku and Ran, with commentary by Kenshiro voiced by Akira Kamiya.
