AIBOU: Tokyo Detective Duo 相棒

Contact




AIBOU,相棒

AIBOU is now in its 20th year since it was broadcast for the first time! This fall, the 18th season starts in the largest scale of the series!​

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 (MPD) on temporary assignment. As the first partner without any career of a police officer, he faces challenging cases with Ukyo using his own authority and connections, and eventually officially joins MPD.
