# Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Ekoda_High_School&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Ekoda High School is an educational facility serving grades 10-12. It's affiliated with the (so far unnamed) junior high school from *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* by having at least three of its graduates - [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine"), [Keiko Momoi](/wiki/Keiko_Momoi "Keiko Momoi") and [Keiko's friend](/wiki/List_of_minor_Magic_Kaito_characters#Family_and_friends "List of minor Magic Kaito characters") - in its second year.[](#cite_note-yaiba_vol_24-1) The real [Toshima](/wiki/Toshima "Toshima") Ward and the fictional district of [Yaoya](/wiki/Yaoya "Yaoya") also seem to be part of their catchment area, considering [Kaito Kuroba](/wiki/Kaito_Kuroba "Kaito Kuroba") and [Aoko Nakamori](/wiki/Aoko_Nakamori "Aoko Nakamori") live in the first in the Manga of *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")* and [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") is living in the latter.
Their uniforms consist of regular gray, black or navy blue Gakuran for the boys and the typical Sailor fuku for girls, with variants in dark blue for the winter uniform and a white blouse, both complemented with a blue pleated skirt and a red or green ribbon. In its *Yaiba* incarnation, the uniforms are less like Sailor fuku, consisting of a short gray jacket over a white buttoned blouse with a gray middle and a white collar, complemented with a black bowtie and a gray pleated skirt in the Manga.[](#cite_note-yaiba_vol_24-1)

Ekoda High School in the Manga of *Magic Kaito*.
Building #3 (Ekoda Campus) of Musashi University, previously a high school.
# Location and models[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Ekoda_High_School&action=edit&section=63 "Edit section: Location and models")]
## *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")* and *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")* Manga[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Ekoda_High_School&action=edit&section=64 "Edit section: Magic Kaito and Yaiba Manga")]
This incarnation of Ekoda High School is very probably based on the main building (#3) on the Ekoda Campus of [Musashi University](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musashi_University "wikipedia:Musashi University"), right next to the Ekoda Campus (fine arts) of [Nihon University](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihon_University "wikipedia:Nihon University"), where [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") and [Yutaka Abe](/wiki/Yutaka_Abe "Yutaka Abe") (a past mentor and current assistant of his) studied and lived - also not far away from [Ekoda Station](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekoda_Station "wikipedia:Ekoda Station"), which was close to Gosho's apartment.[](#cite_note-5)[](#cite_note-6)
Additionally, building #3 itself was a high school once and what is the Ekoda Campus of Nihon today once housed another high school associated with the university, called [Ekoda High School](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%A6%E6%B1%9F%E5%8F%A4%E7%94%B0%E9%AB%98%E7%AD%89%E5%AD%A6%E6%A0%A1 "wikipedia:日本大学江古田高等学校") (日本大学江古田高等学校 ,*Nihon Daigaku Ekoda Kōtō Gakkō*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))(jp) (also shortended to 江古田高校 (*Ekoda Kōkō*), like the school in the Manga), which closed in 1976 and is also used as a university building today.[](#cite_note-7) All of the mentioned campuses and buildings are located in the adjacent districts of [Asahigaoka](https://jp.wikipedia.org/wiki/旭丘_(練馬区))(jp) and [Toyotamakami](https://jp.wikipedia.org/wiki/豊玉上)(jp) in [Nerima Ward](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerima "wikipedia:Nerima"). Ekoda High School was first used by Yutaka Abe in *[100% Tantei Monogatari](/wiki/100%25_Tantei_Monogatari "100% Tantei Monogatari")* in 1986 (set in the same universe as *Magic Kaito* and made with the assistance of Aoyama).
[Kaito Kuroba](/wiki/Kaito_Kuroba "Kaito Kuroba") and [Aoko Nakamori](/wiki/Aoko_Nakamori "Aoko Nakamori") also regularly take a train ride on their way from school on the [Seibu Ikebukuro Line](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seibu_Ikebukuro_Line "wikipedia:Seibu Ikebukuro Line"), leaving at [Ikebukuro Station](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikebukuro_Station "wikipedia:Ikebukuro Station"), which heavily implies for both to live in the [Toshima Ward](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshima_Ward "wikipedia:Toshima Ward").[](#cite_note-8) This is outright confirmed with the [Nakamori family](/wiki/Nakamori_family "Nakamori family"), whose house is located somewhere in Toshima.[](#cite_note-9) The Ikebukuro and Ekoda Stations are both on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, only separated by two other train stations and a track distance of 4.3 kilometres (~2.7 miles).
All of this gets additional proof by [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") and [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") flying away on his new magical sword, the Kusanagi, with an aerial shot of Ekoda High School and its surroundings visible from high above, which seem to be modeled after a view from the north to the old Ekoda Station building, the adjacent sections of Seibu Ikebukuro Line and the districts around them, which would roughly place the school building seen here around the district of [Sakae Town](https://jp.wikipedia.org/wiki/栄町_(練馬区))(jp) in the far southeastern corner of [Nerima Ward](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerima "wikipedia:Nerima"), close to the border it shares with Toshima.[](#cite_note-yaiba_vol_24-1)

Ekoda High School in *Magic Kaito 1412*...
... and Sōgō Geijutsu High School in real life.

The Ekoda High School in *Magic Kaito 1412* is based almost one to one on the real Tokyo Metropolitan Senior High School of Fine Arts, Performing Arts and Classical Music (東京都立総合芸術高等学校 ,*Tōkyō-to Tachi Sōgō Geijutsu Kōtō Gakkō*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese")) in the Tomihisa District of Shinjuku Ward in Tokyo; even the infrastructure and architecture of the surrounding area was transitioned in painstaking detail. Perhaps one of the setting designers immortalized his former fine arts high school here as one of the series' main locations.
# Trivia[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Ekoda_High_School&action=edit&section=66 "Edit section: Trivia")]
* The high school in the original Manga One-shot of *[Play It Again](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama%27s_Collection_of_Short_Stories#Play_It_Again "Gosho Aoyama's Collection of Short Stories")*, at which [Michiko Tsurugi](/wiki/index.php?title=Michiko_Tsurugi&action=edit&redlink=1 "Michiko Tsurugi (page does not exist)") attends class 2-D, remarkably looks like the Ekoda High School, including the uniforms, and a girl looking like [Keiko Momoi](/wiki/Keiko_Momoi "Keiko Momoi") appears as a background character several times, like during the battle between [Sanjuuro Sakura](/wiki/index.php?title=Sanjuuro_Sakura&action=edit&redlink=1 "Sanjuuro Sakura (page does not exist)") and [Tatsuya Nakadai](/wiki/index.php?title=Tatsuya_Nakadai&action=edit&redlink=1 "Tatsuya Nakadai (page does not exist)"). Despite this, it's never said to be Ekoda, which makes it unclear whether it is the school or just a case of design recycling.

Q: How did you live as a university student? The characters in the manga that sensei draws are all unique - I suspect this might be due to influence from human relationships during student days.
A: Yes, though I think I was influenced not only during my university years but throughout my life, accumulating from my childhood. As for my university years, I did Mahjong - a lot of Mahjong (laughs). I used to live first in Egoda, which is along the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, then in Senkawa.
