Kano Rintaro, known as the most unconventional head of a department in the initial division of criminal investigation, strongly dislikes overly elaborate investigation meetings. He delegates the primary investigation tasks to his team members, and occasionally shows up at the crime scene without wearing a tie, actions that may appear enigmatic at first glance. In the detective room of the ninth sub-division, he organizes receipts and prepares his own meals, seemingly indifferent to others. Rumor has it that new detectives under his supervision rarely stay for more than six months.
