Kochikame is a Japanese comedy manga series written and illustrated by Osamu Akimoto. It takes place in the present day, in and around a neighborhood police station (kban) in the downtown part of Tokyo, and revolves around the misadventures of middle-aged cop Kankichi Ryotsu.




The typical Kochikame plot involves Kankichi "Ryo-san" Ryotsu coming up with a money-making scheme by inventing a new gadget or capitalizing on a fad, achieving great success, calling on Keiichi Nakagawa's help as things turn sour, and finally losing it all as the fad runs out of steam or out of control. While the plots are gag-driven, much of the humor comes from the combination of mundane characters with those that are bizarrely out of place; such as Nakagawa who has wealth and Ai Asato who has appeal. What they have in common is everyone's lack of actual police work, most of which is never explained or rationalized in the slightest. (It is explained in Jump that Ryo-san is one of the best officers at catching criminals.) Nakagawa and Reiko Akimoto have special licenses (such as for wearing personal clothes instead of uniforms to work) from police headquarters because of their skills in linguistics.

Kankichi Ryotsu


The Head Patrol Officer of Katsushika, stationed at the police box in front of Kameari Park. Hails from Asakusa, Tait, Tokyo. "Ryo-san" is a 36-year-old police officer with the personality of a 12-year-old. His laziness at work is matched only by his zeal and cleverness in hatching money-making schemes, the fruits of which are invariably squandered on toys, gadgets, and cheap entertainment. He is the stereotypical street-smart "shitamachi" type: sporting a crew cut, stomping about in ratty sandals (even in uniform), and being narrow-minded toward the outside world, as he makes his rounds on a creaky old bicycle. At the same time, he is a super-otaku, up on all the latest fads in popular culture and consumer technology. While most of his interests are juvenile (such as video games and collectibles), he also indulges in more typically salaryman-type pastimes such as drinking, pachinko, and gambling (especially horse-racing). Despite his undisciplined lifestyle, he possesses superhuman strength and stamina, which he is forced to depend on at times. Ryotsu is a bachelor and seems relatively uninterested in women, yet occasionally attracts the attention of nave young female acquaintances, though never with any eventual success. He travels to Hashutsujo by his bicycle named Chidori. He has a younger brother named Kinjiro who wears glasses and runs a successful law firm.

Reiko Katherine Akimoto


A female counterpart to Nakagawa, Reiko's wealth is inherited from European nobility and she juggles her commitments to the police job with those of high society. The daughter of the Kobe-based Akimoto Trading Zaibatsu, Reiko is half French, was raised in France, and is multilingual. With her flowing blonde hair and stunningly cute police uniform she looks like an angel. She is fast for a woman of such built. Reiko is often courted by rich and famous men but has never found the right man. She works in the transportation department and drives a Porsche. She has one younger sister named Yu Akimoto.


Keiichi Nakagawa


A young, handsome patrol cop who serves as Ryo's comic foil. While holding down a day job in the police box in front of Kameari Park, Nakagawa is the son of Nakagawa Zaibatsu and often has to zip off to board meetings in his exotic sports cars and private helicopters. He is quite handsome, an expert driver and marksman, and popular with all the lady cops. However, as a rich heir, he is quite naive to the ways of the world. His policeman's uniform is an 300,000 yellow pinstripe suit made by Pierre Cardin. Though constantly surrounded by beautiful women throughout his duties, Nakagawa appears indifferent and his tendencies are somewhat ambiguous. He hates natto, and his favorite car is his Ferrari. He has a younger sister who is also as busy as his parents.

Daijiro Ohara


The Chief Patrol Officer of Katsushika, in charge of the police box in front of Kameari Park. He usually called "Buch" or "Division Head" and is Ryotsu's boss. He is a typical grizzled middle-management senior cop. Sporting a small trimmed mustache, Bucho is often out of touch or exasperated with his younger staff, but he always ready to punish Ryo-san for his laziness (Despite this, he shows kindness to Ryotsu occasionally, treating him as the son he never had). He is a fatherlike figure for Ryoutsu, Reiko, and Nakagawa. His many hobbies include judo, kendo, sado, bonsai, and calligraphy. He comes to Hashutsujho by bus and train. He is married with one daughter named Hiromi and is grandfather to her two children.

Ai Asato

Reiko's occasional partner on the force, whose pet name is "Maria" (an ateji reading of her full name's kanji). Like Reiko, Maria is tall, beautiful, and buxom. Unlike Reiko, Maria is a brunette and a man. Ai is in love with Ryotsu due to his resemblance to her former martial arts teacher and becomes jealous whenever another girl comes near him. However, Ryotsu likes Matoi not Maria. He was a Muay Thai (kickboxing) champion and generally excels at all martial arts. In the manga, he became a female at last after a magical incident, while he remained a cross-dresser in the anime. (See also the real TS kickboxing champion Parinya Kiatbusaba)

Hayato Honda


The station's motorcycle policeman, and Ryotsu's underling, often reluctantly dragged into his schemes. A shy young man who still sports a pompadour from his teenage motorcycle gang days, he immediately turns into an aggressive man with a deeper voice and a very intimidating face when he mounts a motorcycle. No motor gangster is a match against him, as he still thinks like one. He is also an otaku who loves shjo manga and Japanese idols. Honda's father runs a garage specializing in Kawasaki cycles named Honda Ringyo. His humble-aggressive personality switch runs in the family, as his father with his coveralls, his younger brother with bicycles, and his younger sister with elephants.
