## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Shintaro_Chaki&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Shintaro Chaki is the superintendent of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police 2nd Division and [Ginzo Nakamori](/wiki/Ginzo_Nakamori "Ginzo Nakamori")'s direct superior.
## Personality[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Shintaro_Chaki&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Personality")]
Chaki is strict and aggressive when it came to catching [Kaitou Kid](/wiki/Kaitou_Kid "Kaitou Kid"), and good at giving quick orders to subordinates. Despite this, however, he is not bloodthirsty. During Nightmare's brief "partnership" with Kid, he commented that he would prefer to capture both Kid and Nightmare alive if possible.
