In Yokoku Satsujin, the 2019 TV Asahi Japanese adaptation of A Murder is Announced, Hachiya Monma (八矢門馬 - Monma Hachiya in Western format) is a pastor of a church in Asahi town and the parallel of Julian Harmon. He and his wife "Banchi" are friends of Kuroiwa Reiri and the others living at Komichi-no-yakata (Little Hall - "Little Paddocks").

Monma is given the nickname "Hamon" by Reiri, based on the syllables from his name. He has a slightly smaller role in this adaptation than in the original. As a pastor, he is well clued-up on the local gossip and the backstories of the various residents the town. He tells the police what happened in the past which causes Michie to dislike Reiri and also Rika.
