Best-Selling Mystery writer Kyotaro Nishimura has his own museum. Now, thanks to Fujitsu, he has a robot to go with it. Jointly developed by Fujitsu Frontech and Fujitsu Laboratories, the robot will act as a visitors’ guide at the Museum beginning September 21. Enon will autonomously move to the entrance of the museum to greet guests, then guide visitors through the exhibits using its voice, gestures or its LCD screen. It will even play video greetings from Mr. Nishimura.

And if after all of this you still don’t think that Mr. Nishimura is important, you can take a quiz related to his exploits via Enon’s LCD chest. If you answer all of the questions correctly, you get…

(Drumroll please…)

A commemorative certificate from the Museum.

Joy.
