Actor Ikki Sawamura Makes A Guest Voice Appearance in Detective Conan 26th Feature Film
The official website for the Detective Conan anime feature film series announced today that 55-year-old Japanese actor Ikki Sawamura (Daigo Fukami / Kamen Rider Zero Specter in Kamen Rider Ghost the Movie: The 100 Eyecons and Ghost’s Fated Moment) makes a guest voice appearance in its forthcoming 26th feature film, Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine.
This is his first voice work in 13 years since the Plays Station 3 game Yakuza 4 released in 2010 and his first voice appearance in an anime feature film in his career. He plays Yosuke Makino, the director of Interpol’s offshore facility “Pacific Buoy,” where the film’s main story takes place. He is a character who unites a group of elite engineers with strong personalities from all over the world.
Message from Ikki Sawamura:
1996. It was the year that the “Detective Conan” anime began airing on TV. Coincidentally, it was also the year of my debut. So, Conan-kun and I started working in the same year. The offer from a work that is loved by many as a national anime was a complete surprise and the pressure was enormous. I have been nervous about the voice recording session since New Year’s, but I enjoyed the feeling of being a part of Conan’s world at the session. I like Ran-chan’s action scenes because she is so cool! I also like Shelley, who looks like a child but is sophisticated on the inside. This film will not only thrill you with dynamic action and thrills, but is also filled with various kind of excitement. I think both long-time series fans and first-time viewers will enjoy this story, so please enjoy it in the theater!

The site introduces the film’s story as below:
This time’s location is set in the sea near the Hachijo-jima island, Tokyo. Engineers from around the world have gathered for the full-scale operation of “Pacific Buoy,” an offshore facility to connect security cameras owned by the worldwide police forces. A test of a certain “new technology” based on a face recognition system is underway there.
Meanwhile, Conan and the Detective Boys visit Hachijo-jima at Sonoko’s invitation and receive a phone call from Subaru Okiya (a graduate student in the Graduate School of Engineering at Tokyo Metropolitan University, who is an FBI agent Shuichi Akai and a black-robed organization’s Rye) informing them that a Europol employee was murdered in Germany by the Black Organization’s Jin.
Conan, who is disquieted, sneaks into the facility and finds that a female engineer has been kidnapped by the Black Organization…! Furthermore, a USB drive containing certain information in her possession ends up in the hands of the organization… A black shadow also creeps up on Ai Haibara (Detective Boys’ Ai Haibara / Shiho Miyano / the Black Organization’s Shelly)…
It was also announced that the total box office gross of the previous Detective Conan films, including the 25th film The Bride of Halloween which recorded the highest gross in the film series, has surpassed 100 billion yen (776 million USD).
