A pulling-up-type continuous casting apparatus according to the present invention includes a molten-metal holding furnace (101) that holds molten metal (M1), a starter (ST) that draws the molten metal (M1) held in the molten-metal holding furnace (101) from a molten-metal surface of the molten metal (M1), and a shape defining member (102) that defines a cross-sectional shape of a cast-metal article (M3) to be cast by applying an external force to the held molten metal (M2) drawn by the starter (ST), in which the starter (ST) includes a body part (107) and a tip part (108), the tip part (108) including a tip (109) having a horizontal cross section smaller than that of the body part (107). |
