00:00These are the great heroes of the past.
00:03How much money did they make?
00:08If you look at their income,
00:11you can see how hard they worked.
00:14Heroes of the Past, Half-Match
00:19Hi, I'm Shosuke Tanihara.
00:22Hi, I'm Rena Yamazaki.
00:24This is the hero we're going to introduce today.
00:26The mystery novelist, Ranpo Edogawa.
00:30Let's see how much money he made while following his life.
00:36Conan, a detective who solved a mysterious case with his excellent reasoning.
00:43The origin of the name of the protagonist, Conan Edogawa,
00:47is the author of a novel that has been active since the Taisho era to the Showa era, Ranpo Edogawa.
00:52Ranpo's most famous novel is...
01:00Detective Boys.
01:03The story is about a group of boys who are good at disguise,
01:07and a group of boys who are under the supervision of a famous detective, Akechi Kogoro.
01:13That's a human.
01:15A human is disguised as a bat.
01:18As expected of the boy, Kobayashi.
01:20You've seen through it.
01:24The children of the Showa era were enthusiastic about the activities of the detective group,
01:29who saw through the disguise and tricks of the double-faced monster.
01:33What kind of person was Ranpo, who was called the father of Japanese mystery novels?
01:39Ranpo Edogawa was a man with a variety of faces,
01:43so he was rumored to be the father of Japanese mystery novels.
01:48What?
01:49Ranpo himself is the father of Japanese mystery novels?
01:54What kind of life has he lived?
01:59About 130 years ago, in the Meiji 30s,
02:03Ranpo Edogawa, also known as Hiraitaro,
02:06grew up in Nagoya as the eldest son of a middle-class family.
02:13Ranpo had a weak body since he was a child.
02:18You're so clumsy!
02:22He was often bullied because he was not good at sports.
02:27As a result, he often missed school.
02:30That's exactly the kind of person he is.
02:33Ranpo's favorite hobby was reading.
02:37He was so passionate that he read all the books in his neighborhood bookstores.
02:43One day, Ranpo had a strange experience.
02:48He was playing with a lens in the light coming into his room,
02:52when he suddenly looked up at the ceiling.
02:54What's that?
02:57A faint light was flickering.
03:02It's creepy and scary.
03:04But it's kind of fun.
03:08It's scary, but it's kind of fun.
03:11This was Ranpo's first mysterious experience.
03:17After that, he went to Waseda University when he was 17 years old.
03:22Ranpo, who loved reading, went to a university library.
03:26He was fascinated by foreign detective novels.
03:33At that time, in America and Europe,
03:35modernization was advancing and life was getting richer.
03:38At that time, mysterious novels with high entertainment were popular.
03:46Oh, there's a novel by Lupin.
03:49It was a very popular novel in France.
03:51It was a novel by Maurice Leblanc.
03:53It was a novel by Maurice Leblanc.
03:56He was a thief who stole rich people's treasures.
04:00He was a thief who stole rich people's treasures.
04:03He was a thief who stole rich people's treasures.
04:07In addition, he met a fateful book that changed his life.
04:12It was a novel by Edgar Allan Poe, an American writer.
04:17It was a book called Kusawake, a mystery novel using cryptography.
04:21It was a book called Kusawake, a mystery novel using cryptography.
04:26It was a book called Kusawake, a mystery novel using cryptography.
04:32The mysteries are gradually being solved by logic.
04:36I've never read such a fascinating novel before.
04:42Lampo became obsessed with mysteries.
04:45He challenged himself to write a short mystery novel while he was in college.
04:51The title was Hinawaju.
04:54A man was shot and killed in a secret room with a key.
05:01It's a mystery to solve the mystery of who did it.
05:07The culprit was the sunlight.
05:10It was a trick where the goldfish used the lens to light up the fire.
05:16It was a trick where the goldfish used the lens to light up the fire.
05:19Hey.
05:23But...
05:24If it wasn't a logical trick that no one could think of...
05:29I can't stay in Japan like this.
05:32Okay, let's go to America!
05:35Lampo went to America to study while working part-time.
05:39Lampo went to America to study while working part-time.
05:43Lampo went to America to study while working part-time.
05:47Lampo couldn't afford to study abroad, so he quit.
05:51After graduating from college, he got a job at a trading company in Osaka.
05:55After graduating from college, he got a job at a trading company in Osaka.
05:59Lampo became a salaryman at the age of 21.
06:02Lampo became a salaryman at the age of 21.
06:06Professor Komatsu Shoko of Waseda University is going to tell us about Lampo.
06:12Lampo said in an interview with a newspaper in 1934,
06:16Lampo said in an interview with a newspaper in 1934,
06:19that he earned at least 2.4 million yen a year at a trading company.
06:21that he earned at least 2.4 million yen a year at a trading company.
06:26What? 1.4 million yen?
06:29That's about 100,000 yen a month.
06:31Was that enough for his family?
06:34This is his family in the Taisho era.
06:37This is his family in the Taisho era.
06:39He earned 6,000 yen for 10 kilos of rice, 840 yen for a loaf of bread,
06:44600 yen for a cup of coffee, 60,000 yen for rent,
06:48and 4,200 yen a month for water bills.
06:52It's not that cheap, is it?
06:54That's right.
06:55The salary of a Taisho salaryman in this era ranged from 3.6 million yen to 4.3 million yen.
07:01Lampo earned less than half of that,
07:04but he worked as a housekeeper, so he didn't have to pay rent.
07:07I see.
07:09Lampo became Edogawa Lampo because he liked Edogawa Lampo,
07:14but he was also very popular with Western writers, such as Conan Doyle.
07:19On the other hand, what about Japan?
07:22At that time, the Japanese literature of the Taisho era was dominated by
07:25pure literature such as Junichiro Tanizaki and Ryunosuke Akutagawa.
07:30In the 11th year of the Taisho era, a detective novel was featured in a magazine called Shinseinen.
07:37However, there were only translations of foreign works,
07:42and there were almost no domestic works.
07:45The mystery writer hadn't grown up yet.
07:50I see.
07:52But he couldn't go to America after all.
07:55I wonder what Lampo is doing.
07:57Let's ask him.
07:59Gamaguchi-type space-time monitor, please.
08:01One, two.
08:02Lampo.
08:05Lampo.
08:07He's reading something.
08:09Hello.
08:11What are you reading?
08:13I was reading a book on psychology.
08:16Why psychology?
08:18Of course, it's to write a mystery novel.
08:21Don't you quit being a writer and work for a trade company?
08:25What are you talking about?
08:27I won't give up.
08:29I see.
08:30I read medical books, natural sciences, and philosophy books.
08:37I'm absorbing various knowledge.
08:39I see.
08:41My ideal mystery novel is a literary novel
08:44that is interesting in the process of logically solving difficult tricks for crime.
08:52I see.
08:54That's why I need to absorb various knowledge.
08:58But isn't it hard to write while working for a trade company?
09:03I quit that company in about a year.
09:06You quit? Why?
09:08I was so busy that I didn't have time to study or imagine.
09:15I see.
09:17After that, I did a lot of work.
09:21What kind of work did you do?
09:23I worked as a typewriter salesman,
09:27as a PR consultant for Zosenjo,
09:30as a main character in an old book store,
09:32as an editor of a manga magazine,
09:35and as a ramen shop in a street vendor.
09:39Ramen shop?
09:40Yes.
09:41You have a unique choice of occupation.
09:44What do you do now?
09:46I'm a journalist.
09:49I can cover various cases here.
09:52It's also a subject of mystery.
09:54I see.
09:55I think I'll do this for a long time.
09:57Please tell me a trick you've come up with recently.
09:59I'd like to know.
10:01This is a double-sided paper.
10:03A double-sided paper?
10:04It's called a double-sided paper.
10:05Oh, a double-sided paper.
10:06Yes.
10:07I'm thinking of a trick to solve the mystery of a theft case.
10:13What do you mean?
10:15I'd like you to tell me the trick.
10:18Oh, no!
10:19It's time!
10:21I'm going to interview the victim of the case in the neighborhood.
10:27Are you a fraud?
10:28Excuse me.
10:34In 1922,
10:3627-year-old Ranpo was caught in a mystery about a coin.
10:42The next year,
10:43he was published in a magazine called Shinseinen.
10:45It was his debut work, Nizendouka.
10:48One day,
10:49he was robbed of a deposit he had prepared for his salary at a large electric plant.
10:54He found a code that showed where the money was hidden.
10:59A young man tried to decrypt the code.
11:05This is the sentence written in the code.
11:08Only six characters of Namu Amida Butsu are used here.
11:12Really?
11:13What can be done with six combinations?
11:17He thought about it, and he came up with an idea.
11:20It's an exhibition consisting of six points.
11:24It's the same as an exhibition of Aiueo.
11:29He replaced the code with an exhibition.
11:32What came to his mind was...
11:35Receive the money from Shoujigidou.
11:40The young man found out where the money was.
11:45The mystery of the mystery of the original version,
11:48which had never been found in Japan,
11:50shocked not only the readers but also the publishing industry.
11:55It's as good as a masterpiece of a foreign country.
11:58He is the pioneer of the Japanese detective novel world.
12:02He was suddenly popular with his debut work.
12:05The manuscript cost 50 yen.
12:07He earned about 300,000 yen with his current money.
12:11Soon, he started his career as a writer.
12:17Well, it's time to move.
12:22Rampo has changed his job 12 times.
12:26But he moved more than 12 times.
12:31The documents he created,
12:33called Harimaze Nenpu,
12:35show where he lived and where he worked.
12:39Wow, beans!
12:41There are 46 of them!
12:48I wonder what kind of tricks I can come up with in this house.
12:51I see, he's thinking about the location.
12:53I see, I see.
12:54The 39th time he lived in a room like this.
13:01One day, he fell asleep in the closet.
13:05Oh?
13:06This ceiling board can be easily removed.
13:12Oh!
13:13This is how the attic looks like.
13:17How about shooting a gun from this gap?
13:23The work that got a hint from this attic is
13:26The Walker in the Attic.
13:30A man who entered the attic of an apartment
13:33and learned the pleasure of peeking into other people's lives.
13:39He thought he had a stain on his kimono.
13:43He licked it with his mouth.
13:45It was a scene of a kind of cleaning.
13:48Even the scene of playing a tremendous body
13:52can be seen as much as you want.
13:58Eventually, the man vomited poison from the hole in the ceiling
14:02and killed his neighbor.
14:04The suspense that approaches human psychology
14:07and the exceptional crime trick
14:09were born from the curious observation of Lampo's daily life.
14:16Lampo's bizarre world view
14:18is further escalated by the human chair, which is also a representative work.
14:24A chair craftsman who lives in solitude
14:26because he is ashamed of his ugly appearance
14:28starts to live in a chair
14:30because he loves the chair he made.
14:35Eventually, he begins to feel joy
14:38in the feeling of a woman sitting on a chair.
14:41It's a story of a strange love.
14:45Lampo's novel is strange,
14:48but I want to read it more and more.
14:51It's erotic and scary.
14:53Only Lampo can write a novel like this.
14:57Many readers support Lampo's unique world view.
15:01As a mystery writer,
15:03he has a real position in the Japanese literature society.
15:07However...
15:10What is this?
15:13When a man who was hiding behind the ceiling
15:15worked as a thief while the residents were out,
15:19he was reported to have imitated a man walking on the roof.
15:23When a body was found cut into pieces,
15:26it was reported to the newspaper
15:28that the culprit was Lampo Edogawa.
15:36Did the world look at me like this?
15:42The more heated the news is,
15:44the more self-made sculptures are created.
15:47Lampo becomes disgusted with such a crowd.
15:53And at the age of 37,
15:56he finally stopped writing novels by himself.
16:03It's hard.
16:04He may be famous,
16:06but it's hard to be imitated in a bad way.
16:10The world in the book is free to write anything.
16:15If you overlap reality and fiction,
16:19the fun world in the book will be mixed at once.
16:26He must have made a lot of money.
16:30That's right.
16:32He published more than 30 works in 4 years.
16:36That's fast.
16:38He also published Edogawa Lampo.
16:43This is the real thing.
16:45He sold 160,000 copies in total.
16:49He earned 64 million yen in cash.
16:5364 million yen.
16:55He was so popular,
16:57but he had to give up his dream.
17:02Let's call him out.
17:04Ready?
17:05Lampo!
17:09Oh, no.
17:10Oh, no?
17:11There's only one day left until the deadline.
17:14What's the deadline?
17:16Didn't you put a pen down?
17:18I'm writing a novel called
17:20Kaijin Nijuumenso and Shounen Tantendai.
17:25I saw the Shounen Tantendai series in the library.
17:29Of course.
17:30Did you?
17:31I'm so happy that my novel is in the library.
17:37Did you start writing mystery novels again?
17:40The editor of Shounen Tantendai asked me
17:43if I could write a detective novel for children.
17:49But you used to write mystery novels for adults
17:53or a little bit of both.
17:57Yes.
17:58Didn't you think it would be different?
18:00To be honest, I was a little confused.
18:03But I accepted it because I was a new teacher.
18:07When I thought about what kind of story I should write,
18:10this came to my mind.
18:12This is it.
18:13What?
18:14I used to call it Arsène Lupin.
18:18It's a fantasy novel about a thief who no one has ever seen.
18:23He works as a thief who makes the country tremble.
18:26But he never commits a murder.
18:28It's a story about a thief who never commits a murder.
18:31Wow.
18:32I thought I could do it.
18:34You could do it?
18:35I've seen it overseas.
18:37No, no, no.
18:38I'm going to write a mystery novel.
18:41It's a mystery novel about a mysterious case
18:44between a famous detective, Akechi Kogoro,
18:47and a boy named Kobayashi.
18:49Shounen Tantendai will solve the mystery.
18:53It's going to be interesting.
18:55So it's not a fake?
18:58It's totally original.
19:01What do children say about it?
19:03It's popular.
19:05It's a very popular series.
19:07That's great.
19:09I'm happy, but...
19:13What's wrong?
19:15You look troubled.
19:17The series is going to be discontinued in the fourth issue.
19:21Why?
19:22Why is it discontinued?
19:25Why?
19:27Why is that?
19:29Here's the question.
19:32It's a Shounen Tanteidan series
19:34featuring Akechi Kogoro and Kobayashi.
19:37Even though it was very popular,
19:40it was discontinued by the Daikinkai in 1939.
19:47Why?
19:49It was a model case.
19:54But it's the same as before.
19:57The hint is 1939.
20:01The war?
20:03Yes.
20:05It's Keiichi.
20:06That's correct.
20:09It's because the freedom of expression was no longer guaranteed by the war.
20:17In 1937, when the war broke out between Japan and China,
20:21detective novels were seen as anti-systemic and criminal.
20:27The Shounen Tanteidan series was for children,
20:31but it was not an exception.
20:33The Daikinkai did not allow even double-faced characters
20:39because it was inappropriate for criminals to act.
20:43Is that why it's black and muddy?
20:47I think so.
20:48In the end, it was discontinued.
20:52Ranpon lost the chance to act again due to the war.
20:56However, he will continue to do his best to revive the Japanese mystery world.
21:02Finally, the climax.
21:051941, Pacific War.
21:10The law that punishes those who do not follow the will of the government.
21:18While the whole of Japan is leaning towards a political system,
21:22Ranpon's novels were sold out.
21:27And then, the final battle.
21:31People were starving.
21:34In 8 months, 434 magazines were reprinted.
21:40Among them, the detective novel expert, Hoseki, was also reprinted.
21:45Ranpon-sensei.
21:47Could you write a novel that will make mystery fans cry?
21:53I've been waiting for this for a long time.
21:56But...
21:57I'm grateful, but I refuse.
22:00Why?
22:02In order to restore the relationship with the people,
22:07I think it's important to train new people.
22:12I will create a mystery world as a backer.
22:19Ranpon gave a place to young writers,
22:22and was involved in the production of the magazine as a producer.
22:27The mystery writer who represented Japan,
22:30Seishi Yokomizo and Seicho Matsumoto,
22:33will also be serialized in this magazine.
22:37In addition, as a meeting place for writers and editors,
22:41he will create a Japanese Detective Novel Club,
22:44and donate 50 million yen.
22:50Based on the money, the Edogawa Ranpo Award,
22:53which will be a gateway for new writers, will be established.
22:57The winner will receive double the amount of the Akutagawa Award,
23:00and a prize of 10 million yen will be added later.
23:04This is how Ranpon put his effort into the discovery of young talents.
23:10Ranpon put his brush aside for the mystery world,
23:13but there was only one wish.
23:16That is a detective for children.
23:20Even if the war is over,
23:22the children are still hungry.
23:25I wonder if I can encourage these children somehow.
23:30In 1949,
23:32Ranpon resumed the serialization of the Shonen Danteidan series for the first time in 11 years.
23:38The first work was Seido no Majin, which is also the representative work of the series.
23:44The double-faced monster wearing Seido's armor,
23:47who was possessed by a demon,
23:50was stolen from the mansion by the emperor of Europe.
23:55How did the double-faced monster enter the mansion,
23:58and where did it disappear?
24:00The mystery is solved by the famous detective Akechi Kogoro and the Shonen Danteidan.
24:07What detective Akechi noticed was the old well in the garden.
24:12There is always a lot of water at the bottom of the old well, so no one doubts it.
24:17You just have to get rid of the water when the demon comes in.
24:23Detective Akechi saw through the trick of pulling out and returning the water in the old well with just one button.
24:32Akechi-kun, you still have a long way to go.
24:37But I won't be caught.
24:39I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve.
24:42Hey, hey, the double-faced monster still has more tricks up his sleeve.
24:47I wonder what kind of trick it is this time. I'm looking forward to it.
24:53The children are anti-heroes who stand up no matter how many times they are defeated.
24:58They admire the detective Akechi and the Shonen Danteidan,
25:01who solve difficult cases one after another,
25:04so they called them Musaboru.
25:08After that, Ranpo published more than 20 works in 14 years,
25:13and became a big hit with more than 16 million copies.
25:19Ranpo was made into a film in 1956,
25:23and became a big topic as a work that can be enjoyed from children to adults.
25:29Thus, Ranpo, who made the mystery boom a certain thing,
25:33was called the father of Japanese mystery novels.
25:39However, he continued to write while fighting diseases in his later years,
25:44and died at the age of 70 in 1965.
25:52Then, about 60 years later,
25:56many excellent writers were expelled from the Edogawa Ranpo Bookstore founded by Ranpo.
26:05At the bookstore, there was a corner where mystery novels were collected,
26:09and there were so many that you couldn't even imagine the era of Ranpo.
26:16The seeds planted by Ranpo are now blooming all over the world.
26:24At the end, I was very happy that he wrote with the idea that he wanted to give dreams to children like life work.
26:32The mysteries we've seen so far are for adults,
26:36so it's difficult to understand the tricks unless you're an adult.
26:42There were a lot of things that required some knowledge,
26:47and I think it was very exciting for the children to see that there was a mystery that they could understand.
26:58I think I was very excited.
27:00I was able to see through this trick that even my parents couldn't see through.
27:03Like, who was the culprit?
27:05Yes, I was able to say that.
27:07I think it saved the hearts of many children
27:11that they were able to create such a mystery for children.
27:18Now, let's move on to the year of Ranpo.
27:22When the Shonen Detective Squad was revived and caused a huge boom,
27:26it was the year of Ranpo when he was 64 years old.
27:31It also includes the income from books and movies.
27:38Can filmmakers get that much?
27:41I can't get it.
27:43Speak in a low voice.
27:45640 million yen.
27:47If you include movies, it's 7.5 million yen.
27:52Since it's the 20th anniversary of Kaijin, it's 20 million yen.
27:57Now, I will announce the year of Ranpo Edo,
28:00who was called the father of Japanese mystery novels.
28:08The year of Ranpo Edo, how much?
28:1298.7 million yen.
28:14It's just under 100 million yen.
28:15It's just under 100 million yen.
28:17I should have saved a little more.
28:19This amount of money was based on the confirmation payment at the time.
28:24When he was 64 years old, the payment was 658.3 million yen.
28:29With today's money, it's about 98.7 million yen.
28:33That's great.
28:35As for the way to use it,
28:37Ranpo spent tens of millions of yen to rebuild his detective novel specialty.
28:44He was able to become a member of the Detective Club
28:48even though his novel was not sold yet.
28:54Ranpo is a writer who inspired me to read various novels.
29:01He is a very memorable writer.
29:04He is also a mystery novel.
29:06He is an exciting adventurer.
29:10In that sense, even now,
29:13I'm so excited that I want to read it again.
29:21I don't think I'll ever lose what I receive as a child.
29:25It's the same with Kamen Rider and Godzilla.
29:27But I don't like Kamen Rider and Godzilla when I grow up.
29:31I don't like it all the time.
29:33You've grown up with it.
29:34I think it's amazing that I planted that seed.
29:38It's no exaggeration to say that he is the first person
29:42who built a new genre in the literature world.
29:46What kind of life will we see next?
29:49See you again.
