Originally [Momiji Ooka](/wiki/Momiji_Ooka "Momiji Ooka") was a character created for [The Crimson Love Letter](/wiki/The_Crimson_Love_Letter "The Crimson Love Letter") for the purpose of being a love rival in the Heiji/Kazuha relationship. In The Darkest Nightmare celebration on 04/15/2016, Aoyama decided to let Momiji briefly show up in the manga series so that her later appearance in the movie wouldn't seem too abrupt. [Muga Iori](/wiki/Muga_Iori "Muga Iori") was originally designed by Aoyama himself, however his original design was to be an old man, then later changed to a young man.

### Chihaya Hagiwara[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Anime_to_Manga_Characters_by_Appearance&action=edit&section=12 "Edit section: Chihaya Hagiwara")]

However, he ended up not being able to do it (Wild Police Story Volume 2 Q&A). Later, he decided to introduced her in the main manga series. When *Wild Police Story* was adapated as the part of the main anime, the anime staff decided to add a cameo appearance of Chihaya in [Police Academy Arc Wild Police Story CASE. Wataru Date](/wiki/Police_Academy_Arc_Wild_Police_Story_CASE._Wataru_Date "Police Academy Arc Wild Police Story CASE. Wataru Date"), where she was seen hugging Kenji in flashback.

## Trivia[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Anime_to_Manga_Characters_by_Appearance&action=edit&section=13 "Edit section: Trivia")]
Shiratori's original character design from a *Magic Kaito* manuscript.
* Since [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") has supervisioned the animation production's storyboard from the beginning, they aren't anime-original characters, but only introduced in the anime version before the manga. Of course, at their first canon appearance, the author must always use some statements to exclude the non-canon anime introduction.
* The plot of the first movie was intended as a story arc for *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")* for a while. The author said that he already wrote the plot back in school, and considered it for *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* once, but it didn't fit the kind of story it was, and then for *Magic Kaito*, but there wasn't any opportunity to integrate it. When he got told that *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")* was getting a movie adaptation, he proposed the plot for this project, but says that he regrets it by now, since [Teiji Moriya](/wiki/Teiji_Moriya "Teiji Moriya"), the main antagonist, was based on James Moriarty and he would have preferred to tell a story like that in the manga. Because of this, Shiratori was originally designed as a character for *Magic Kaito* before transitioning him to *Detective Conan* together with the plot he debuted in.
