Gōshō Aoyama's long-running mystery series (manga in Weekly Shōnen Sunday from 1994, TMS anime from 1996) about Shin'ichi Kudō, a teenage detective shrunk into a child's body by a criminal organisation; as Conan Edogawa he keeps solving cases while seeking an antidote. The story is set in the fictional city of Beika, so this route is entirely made of tributes: the author's home town of Hokuei (Tottori) has been turned into a whole 'Conan town' full of statues, a themed station and a museum dedicated to Aoyama.
