About

The Special Mission Task Team is not considered as important as it might sound. It's positioned in the lowest section of the Metropolitan Police Department and headed by Ukyo Sugishita (Yutaka Mizutani). Together with his partner, Kaoru Kameyama (Yasufumi Terawaki), this team is Japan’s version of The Odd Couple, solving clueless cases in original and outrageous ways.
