The Detective Conan franchise announced on Sunday that the franchise's 29th film will open in Japan during Golden Week in 2026.
The film will center on the character Chihaya Hagiwara. Miyuki Sawashiro will now voice the character. The late Atsuko Tanaka previously voiced the character. The above "super teaser trailer" features Sawashiro's voice asking "what was it that you wanted to say that day?"
Chihaya Hagiwara is a member of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police and the leader of its motorcycle division.
The previous film in the franchise, Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback (Meitantei Conan: Sekigan no Flashback), had teased the character's appearance at the end of the film.
The film opened in Japan on April 18, and debuted at #1 at the Japanese box office. The film became the #19 highest-grossing film of all time in Japan in June, and is currently the 18th highest-grossing film in Japan of all time, having earned 14.66 billion yen (about US$99.8 million).
Katsuya Shigehara (unit director of Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine) directed the film. Takeharu Sakurai (various Detective Conan movies) wrote the script.
