I first saw "Aibo/Aibou" (Partners) somewhere about 2002 or 2003 on KIKU TV. Unlike the "horde of detectives" approach seen in other Japanese "Cop shows," this one featured just two. Broadcast in Japan starting in 2000, it began with an air of mystery at Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building. Who was "Inspector Sugishita" and why was he assigned to a tiny office/former storage closet of the Financial Crimes department (Section 3) of Tokyo's MPD? Enter a roughneck, "Sgt. Kameyama," kicked out of his precinct to "Special Missions," a two-man office. Anglophile Sugishita…
Detective Ukyo Sugishita confronts crime on the basis of his own convictions. He has a partner that works for him in the Special Task Unit. For the first 7 seasons, Ukyo’s first partner is Kaoru Kameyama. He is a good-natured, hot-tempered, straightforward and somewhat scattered detective. Beginning in Season 8, Takeru Kanbe replaces Kameyama. Contrary to his predecessor, Takeru is a lanky, cool, conceited and confident detective. From Season 11 to Season 13, Ukyo’s partner is a young detective Toru Kai. Toru is a son of Deputy Director-General of The National Police Agency. But he became a detective by his own effort. And starting with Season 14, Ukyo’s current partner is Wataru Kaburagi, an elite bureaucrat who came to the Metropolitan Police Department on temporary assignment. As the first partner without any career of a police officer, he will face challenging cases together with Ukyo.
