Keishicho Zero Gakari

The newly established “Consultation Office” at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Suginami Central Station’s Community Safety Division was created under the banner of “a new initiative to respond swiftly to citizens’ voices,” but in reality, it was a dumping ground for problematic personnel and those who had been cast aside. “Zero multiplied by anything equals zero” – meaning that no matter how many useless people you gather, they remain useless. This earned the department the mocking nickname “Zero Section” among station officers.

Into this Zero Section transfers the mysterious career police inspector Kobayakawa Fuyuhiko (Koizumi Kotaro) from the National Police Agency’s National Research Institute of Police Science. Despite being part of the elite career track, Fuyuhiko is naive and socially clueless – “the ultimate KY (can’t read the atmosphere) detective.” Paired with him is veteran female detective Terada Torazo (Matsushita Yuki), who is “mannish and foul-mouthed.” This “ultimate KY” detective inadvertently becomes a catalyst for the “problem children” gathered in Zero Section, triggering chemical reactions among them. The completely mismatched duo, along with their ultra-individualistic Zero Section colleagues, brilliantly and sometimes chaotically solve various difficult cases.

The “Consultation for Anything Office” of Suginami Central Police Station is a department to leave people who have got the boot for causing problems at various places. “Zero is zero no matter how you multiply it.” That is to say, good-for-nothings are useless no matter how many people there are. They get ridiculed as the “Section Zero” and have to handle miscellaneous affairs such as annoying, trivial notifications, complaints, claims and troublesome disputes. At the section, the naive Kobayakawa Fuyuhiko (Koizumi Kotaro), a career police officer from the National Research Institute of Police Science who cannot read situations, teams up with capable veteran detective Terada Torami (Matsushita Yuki) who was thrown out of the Criminal Affairs Division for causing trouble all the time. Although they do not agree with each other, they take on all sorts of cases and chores with their good-for-nothing colleagues.

The “anything” consultation office of Suginami Chuo Police Precinct is a department to leave people who have got the boot for causing problems at various places. “Zero is zero no matter how you multiply it.” That is to say, good-for-nothings are useless no matter how many people there are. They get ridiculed as the “Zero Section” and have to handle miscellaneous affairs such as annoying, trivial notifications, complaints, claims and troublesome disputes.

One day, a six year old boy visited the Consultation for Anything Office. He told Fuyuhiko that he doesn’t want to go to his grandfather. Apparently, the little boy’s name is Yuta and his father died from illness recently while his mother has been missing for the past six years. Yuta is now supposed to live with his grandfather, Ryujin Kenichiro, the chairman of a large company in Shizuoka. Fuyuhiko had a talk with Kenichiro through a videocall and witnessed Kenichiro’s sudden death. Fuyuhiko started investigating the cause of death and realised that there has been many mysterious incidents in the Ryujin family.

This crime drama features an unlikely partnership between Kobayakawa Fuyuhiko, a career police inspector who completely lacks social awareness and struggles to read the atmosphere, and Terada Torami, a tough, foul-mouthed veteran detective with a tombyoish attitude. Despite their differences in age, personality, and police rank, this mismatched detective duo takes on challenging criminal cases together.

The quirky duo of Kobayakawa Fuyuhiko and Terada Torami are back in an SP after two years! This time, Fuyuhiko is the “Sakura Shrimp Prince”?!
Fuyuhiko and Torami now belong to Section 5 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Special Operations Unit. They’re a department that handles miscellaneous duties for the elite units. Joining them is Tomosaka, a Gen Z supplies officer, and Takuji, an unrealiable section chief. Amidst all this, Fuyuhiko receives a request to prove someone’s innocence. The person seeking advice, Kikuko, claims it involves a murder that occurred in Kanazawa two years ago. Shortly afterward, her son committed suicide. Because he had been accused of stalking the victim, he was labeled a murderer without a trial. After reading the accused’s journal, something catches Fuyuhiko’s attention and as a result, he decides to begin an unauthorized investigation.
