ryoutsu kankichi

Age: 36
Ryoutsu is a police officer with the mindset of a preteen. His lackadaisical approach to his job contrasts sharply with his enthusiasm and ingenuity in devising get-rich-quick schemes, which invariably end up being spent on toys, gadgets, and cheap thrills. He embodies the classic "shitamachi" street-smart persona, sporting a crew cut and shuffling around in worn-out sandals (even while in uniform), and exhibits a narrow perspective towards the outside world as he patrols on an old, creaky bicycle. Simultaneously, he is an extreme otaku, always up-to-date with the latest trends in pop culture and consumer tech. While many of his interests are juvenile (like video games and collectibles), he also enjoys more adult pastimes typical of salarymen, such as drinking, pachinko, and gambling (especially horse racing). Despite his chaotic lifestyle, Ryoutsu possesses superhuman strength and endurance, which come in handy at times. He is unmarried and seems largely indifferent to women, though he occasionally catches the eye of naive young female acquaintances, but these encounters never lead to anything substantial.
