Conan
Video disappears from official account after O’Brien and Jordan Schlansky anger Toto showroom rep.
Conan and his team packed in as much of Tokyo as possible during the final days of their Japanese trip.
The mayor of Hokuei is ready to meet Conan’s demands, but he has a few surprises up his sleeve for the talk show host as well.
Schlansky imparted his Japanese knowledge on the talk show host, but ended up committing some faux pas of his own.
The talk show host immerses himself in a world of kawaii with some of Harajuku’s most colourful fashionistas.
“Big” is looking to be the operative word for next year’s Japanese pop culture themed attractions.
When most Americans hear the name Conan, they’re likely to think of either Conan the Barbarian or Conan the Late-Night TV Host/O’Brien. But when people in Japan hear “Conan,” they immediately think of the star long-running anime hit Great Detective Conan (which was released in the U.S. under the title Case Closed).
After being transformed into a child, brilliant detective Shinichi Kudo chooses the alias of Conan Edogawa, borrowing his new first name from Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle. But even trapped in the body of a young boy, Kudo continues solving crimes. Like Doyle’s famous consulting detective, no detail escapes the sharp eyes and clever eyes of Conan.
Well, except for this gigantic art mistake in a recent episode of the Great Detective Conan anime.
