Main article: [Ekoda](/wiki/Ekoda "Ekoda")
The **Ekoda area** (江古田地区 ,*Ekoda-chiku*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese")) is a real part of [Tokyo](/wiki/Tokyo "Tokyo") and the place where [Yutaka Abe](/wiki/Yutaka_Abe "Yutaka Abe") and [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") were living and studying (at the Ekoda Campus (Fine Arts) of [Nihon University](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihon_University "wikipedia:Nihon University")) back then. It reaches from the northeastern part of the [Nakano](/wiki/index.php?title=Nakano&action=edit&redlink=1 "Nakano (page does not exist)") Ward to [Ekoda Station](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekoda_Station "wikipedia:Ekoda Station") and its surroundings in the [Nerima](/wiki/Nerima "Nerima") Ward, including the district of the same name in the latter. [Ekoda High School](/wiki/Ekoda_High_School "Ekoda High School") shares its name with a real high school in the area which closed in 1976 and is used as a university building adjacent to Nihon nowadays.[](#cite_note-1) Aoyama later adapted this setting in his own works, including it in *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")*, *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* and the [anime](/wiki/Anime "Anime") of *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")*, as well as namedropping it in *[3rd Base 4th](/wiki/3rd_Base_4th "3rd Base 4th")*.
## Trivia[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=100%25_Detective_Tale_Case_1&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: Trivia")]
* [Momoko Aoyama](/wiki/Momoko_Aoyama "Momoko Aoyama") is named both after [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") himself (and by extension, her family, too) and after his favorite idol at the time, [Momoko Kikuchi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momoko_Kikuchi). This was a reaction by [Yutaka Abe](/wiki/Yutaka_Abe "Yutaka Abe") in return to Gosho's one-shot *[Wait For Me](/wiki/Wait_For_Me "Wait For Me")*, in which the protagonists are named [Yutaka Takai](/wiki/Yutaka_Takai "Yutaka Takai") and [Mamiko Abe](/wiki/index.php?title=Mamiko_Abe&action=edit&redlink=1 "Mamiko Abe (page does not exist)"). "Yutaka" and "Abe" came from Yutaka Abe's own name, while the parts of the name "Takai" and "Mamiko" came from Yutaka's then favorite idol [Mamiko Takai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamiko_Takai).[](#cite_note-character_name-2)
* There was an animated promotional short made for this chapter in 1986 directed by Gosho Aoyama and animated by Yutaka Abe himself, with "Say Yes!" by Momoko Kikuchi used as background music.[](#cite_note-3)[](#cite_note-animations_and_bgms-4) Abe himself said that he can't release the video to the public because this copyrighted track was used without permission, while the animations were made to be synchronous with it.[](#cite_note-anime_release-5)
