Kankichi Ryotsu is the central figure in "Kochira Katsushika-ku Kamearikouen-mae Hashutsujo The Movie 2: UFO Shūrai! Tornado Daisakusen!!". A patrol officer at the Kameari Park police box, he sports a prominent unibrow, a crew-cut hairstyle, and constantly wears wooden sandals ("geta") with his uniform. A native of Asakusa in Tokyo's Taitō ward, he possesses a deep connection to traditional Japanese culture and working-class values. Ryotsu displays a split in his professional behavior: he often neglects routine duties due to laziness or distractions like model-building and video games, yet he demonstrates unexpected competence in solving complex cases. His driving motivation involves concocting money-making schemes, usually inventions or attempts to cash in on trends, which consistently end in catastrophic failure due to greed or poor judgment. Despite these flaws, he exhibits superhuman strength and stamina during emergencies. In Movie 2, Ryotsu travels to Hawaii and encounters a childhood friend thought dead for ten years. This reunion pulls him into confronting a terrorist plot using a UFO-shaped device designed to unleash destructive tornadoes over Tokyo. His actions during this crisis reflect established traits, including protective instincts towards colleagues and civilians and reliance on his physical resilience. His relationships are complex and defining. He shares a perpetually adversarial yet underlying familial bond with his supervisor, Daijiro Ohara ("Buchō"), who frequently reprimands him for misconduct but harbors paternal concern. He leverages the resources of his wealthy colleague, Keiichi Nakagawa, for various schemes. His dynamic with Reiko Akimoto blends casual camaraderie with occasional gender-based misunderstandings. He has a strained relationship with his father, Ginji Ryotsu, due to clashing personalities, contrasting with his more harmonious connection to his mother, Yone. His successful younger brother, Kinjiro, who runs a law firm, serves as a foil to Ryotsu's erratic life. Ryotsu lives in the Niconico Hostel and commutes on a bicycle named Chidori, often arriving late. His personal interests range from traditional Japanese games like Shogi and Kendama to gambling, pachinko, and contemporary technology trends. Financial ineptitude plagues him across all media; any windfall is inevitably lost through excess or misfortune. While primarily speaking Japanese, he occasionally uses basic English phrases.
