The official Twitter account for the television anime of Mayuko Kanba’s Detective Conan: Hannin no Hanzawa-san (Detective Conan: The Culprit Hanzawa) manga revealed on Wednesday that Akira Ishida will join the cast of the anime as Saguru Hakuba.
Gosho Aoyama’s Detective Conan manga also inspired a recent anime adaptation of a spinoff manga, Takahiro Arai’s Detective Conan: Zero no Tea Time (Detective Conan: Zero’s Tea Time).
Detective Conan: Hannin no Hanzawa-san is a gag manga that stars the black-silhouetted “criminal” that appears in Detective Conan chapters to represent the mystery culprits.
In the former, he is a detective who is hunting down Kaito Kid, while in Detective Conan: The Culprit Hanzawa, he is also Hanzawa’s coworker in his part-time job.
