ConYuu is the ship between Conrad and Yuuri from Kyou Kara Maou. Conrad is the one who carried Yuuri's soul into the human world to be reincarnated, and Yuuri respects and admires him greatly. Yuuri has difficulty pronouncing his real name, Conrart, and instead calls him Conrad, which is the name most fans use.
A major plot point in both the novels and the anime is Conrad's apparent death and reappearance working for the enemies of Yuuri's kingdom. In the anime, Conrad eventually returns to his family and friends, but in the novels, his relationship with Yuuri remains much more complicated.
Fandom
The official manga adapation is seen by fans as leaning towards Conrad/Yuuri, but the original novels and the anime both tease a variety of ships including ConYuu. ConYuu is proportionately much more popular among Japanese fans, possibly because the age gap is more likely to squick Western fans.
As of April 2021, there were about 540 works on Pixiv tagged ConYu, and 4 tagged YuCon. Because of the age difference, Yuuri is much less likely to be portrayed as the seme than in Yuuram/WolfYuu. By July 2022, the number had ballooned to 1,780 due to fans of the actor Gong Yoo, whose name is written with the same characters as the KKM ship. With no way to distinguish the two uses of the tag, it became impossible to measure the number of ConYu fanworks on the site.
