Claim:
1. An up-drawing continuous casting apparatus comprising: a holding furnace configured to hold molten metal; and a shape determining member placed on a molten metal surface of the molten metal and configured to determine a sectional shape of a casting to be casted when the molten metal led out from the molten metal surface passes through the shape determining member, wherein: the shape determining member includes a first partial shape determining member and a second partial shape determining member connectable to each other, and a connecting member configured to connect the first partial shape determining member to the second partial shape determining member; and when the first partial shape determining member and the second partial shape determining member are distanced from each other, the sectional shape of the casting to be casted is determined by the first partial shape determining member, the second partial shape determining member, and the connecting member.
