In popular culture

In 1994, a film entitled "Rampo" inspired by Rampo's works was released in Japan (The film was retitled "The Mystery of Rampo" for its American release). Rampo himself is the lead character of the film and is portrayed by actor Naoto Takenaka.

Trivia

*In the manga and subsequent anime "Case Closed" ("Meitantei Conan", or "Detective Conan" in Japan), the protagonist Jimmy Kudo (Kudō Shin'ichi), chooses the pseudonym "Conan Edogawa" after Arthur Conan Doyle and Edogawa. He lives with his best friend, whose father is a detective named Kogoro. Conan's mother also occasionally uses the fake name Fumiyo, a reference to the wife of Edogawa's character Kogoro.
*Another, less famous manga, CLAMP's "Man of Many Faces" ("20 Mensō ni Onegai!!") is primarily inspired by the Kogoro Akechi series – in particular the villainous "20 Faces" character.
*The manga and anime series "Nijū Mensō no Musume" ("Daughter of Twenty Faces") is also inspired by the "twenty faces" character.
