Detective Conan's Kaito Kid Hijacks au Commercial
posted on by Kim Morrissy
Detective Conan's famous phantom thief Kaito Kid sent a calling card to Japanese mobile phone company au, which appears in the company's latest ad for a student discount phone plan. His message was: "I will take this ad." The ad aired on February 23 during the episode of Detective Conan.
The ad indicates that au will be collaborating with the upcoming Meitantei Conan: Konjō no Fist (Detective Conan: Fist of Blue Sapphire) film that will open in Japan on April 12.
Kaito Kid also temporarily hijacked au's social media accounts to announce that he sent a "puzzle" to au's website on March 2. Those who solved Kaito Kid's puzzle within two hours were entered a draw to win a ticket to an advance screening of the film. This announcement coincided with the launch of au and Detective Conan's collaboration website.
