Jin Miyamoto

Jin Miyamoto was a crooked Vice Squad Detective. 
==Biography==
===The Test===
Jin makes his formal appearance, speaking up for Jake after a police officer accosts him at the station for being suspicious. Later at the conference, Jake asks a co-worker about Jin's background and learns that he's part of the Vice Squad and that he loves "chickens", but Jake corrects him that he likes "chicks".
Sometime after the conference, Jake visits Jin at the station, who tries to befriend him. Initially, Jin brushes Jake off, claiming he likes gaijin girls, but asks him if he knows how to. Confidently, Jake answers that he does and walks outside with him while giving advice on how to talk to a gaijin lady. They're soon stopped by Jin's acquaintance, who asks for his help, and they make a pit stop at the Onyx Bar. There, Jin mediates the situation for his acquaintance.
Eventually, Jin starts to hit on a hostess named Polina, but is rejected by her learning she's already assigned to a different table. Jake and him would then later attend a strip club where he exploits Jake's wallet and gives him the piece of advice that, "there's no murder in Japan". This is because unless there's a witness that reports it, it keeps the police's clearance rate down. Before Jake can get an answer about how that can get him a "story," Jin receives a notification about a new job and leaves, but Jake follows.
Within a crowd of people, Jin tries to talk to an old man doused in gasoline, but the old man still immolates himself.
===Kishi Kaisei===
While walking out of the police station, Jake approaches Jin and asks him for information on the panty thief in the city. Jin cooly answers that there isn't a panty thief that either the wind blew them away or that his newspaper article enjoys writing about them.
Eventually, Jake confronts Jin over the story he gave him. Jake then treats Jin to a steak dinner, and despite hearing that Jake is on the verge of losing his job, Jin is unsympathetic and tells him the old Japanese proverb, Kishi Kaisei. After this, Jake asks if he recognizes the logo on a matchbook he has, which he denies, so Jake orders another round of food, along with some steak tips, but leaves right after to use the restroom. This, however, was a ploy to get back at Jin for his bogus story and attitude toward him.
===I Want It That Way===
Jin appears again when Jake visits the police station to catch Hiroto at the station. He accosts Jake and "thanks" him for the steak dinner they once had and offers to teach him about old-school Aikido at the dojo sometime. 
===Everybody Pays===
Jake keeps his promise to Jin and does Aikido with him; after this, they talk about what Jake talked to Hiroto about the other day. Jin warns him about Hiroto from there, claiming he's more trouble than he's worth. He ends it by advising Jake that he should be careful whom he trusts.
===The Information Business===
Jin is visited by Jake at the Police HQ, and he convinces Jin to follow the intel lead that he heard about the massive meth shipment arriving at an airport. However, their investigation turns out to be a flop. Visibly upset by this, Jin holds Jake responsible for this by severing all ties with him and ensuring that he'll have everyone in the police force never to work with him. Hiroto then arrives, and after a brief talk with him about why he was there, he directs Hiroto as to who was responsible for the search itself.
He's briefly mentioned when Jake argues that it wasn't his fault that the case was a bust, but his own to his superior, Baku, at the Meicho building.
A frustrated and agitated Tozawa learns about the drug bust from his insider Jin, who informs Tozawa that had he not intervened and misdirected the search, his shipment would have failed. When Tozawa inquires who tipped him off, Jin says it was a Meicho reporter by the name of Jake Adelstein.
===Sometimes They Disappear===
At an impromptu press conference, Jin is credited with arresting the murderer of Kaori Shoda. After this, he receives a round of applause for his accomplishment from his peers. When told he's been hounded by the press for a statement, he flips them off, which makes his peers laugh at him.
He's then called into his superior's office alongside two others named Chiba and Sakita. There, they learn that the Organized Crime Division has been collecting enough evidence to arrest Tozawa, and Hiroto will head the investigation.
Eventually, Jin accepts Emi's request for an informal interview despite having a scathing report written about him in the newspaper company she worked for. Emi asks Jin why it took the police so long to make an arrest against Sachihiro Jo, the ex-boyfriend, and murderer of Kaori Shoda. To that, Jin responds that the police won't answer every call that they receive concerning a lovesick weirdo. Upset by the answer, Emi asks if a man's word is greater than a woman's, which Jin confirms.
Jin then asks his own line of questions; he asks Emi if he's heard anything about the Organized Crime Unit's plans to arrest the Yakuza Boss. Emi asks if he's talking about Tozawa, and he confirms it. He then follows up by asking if Jake has said anything to her about it, claiming he's close with Hiroto. However, Emi responds that Jin should ask Jake himself, which makes Jin leave.
Jin meets with Hiroto by the Police Station's vending machines; there, he notes his wish to make amends with him since last they spoke and asks about the evidence he has on Tozawa. Hiroto cites that he does have valid evidence of what he's heard and leads Jin to the integration room. There, Jin reviews a folder with coroner photos of the dead mechanic named Tsutomu Makita, and Hiroto explains how Tsutomu was working with his department until his demise. Once finished, Jin lamented not knowing about this sooner since it would have avoided the airport fiasco. Hiroto asks Jin if he knows anything, but Jin denies it while asking to know where the other evidence is; Hiroto says they're in lockdown in the basement. Despite Jin wanting to see it, Hiroto refuses him any privilege, claiming he'll see when they're ready to present it and leaves.
That night, Jin watches Hiroto leave the police station, and he later crashes Tozawa's birthday party. He'd later talk to Tozawa about the situation, and despite wanting to bail, Tozawa threatens Jin that if he leaves now, he'll be taken down with him. Hence, Jin breaks into the locker room where the incriminating evidence against Tozawa is but finds the box containing it empty. To make matters worse, it was all caught on camera, and Hiroto was watching the entire thing unfold.
===Yoshino===
At the Police Station, Jin approaches Hiroto's desk, who claims he has a guilty conscience to meet with him. Jin then asks what real evidence he has against Tozawa, which Hiroto claims he has nothing, but things to dig deeper into. Realizing Hiroto's angle, Jin requests that they talk at a different location.
Afterward, the two would sit at a fishing area where Jin talked about how his connection with Tozawa started with him receiving drug shipment tips from a Tozawa lackey. Things were great as he quickly rose the rank from the information, but when the information dried up, he grew desperate. Hence, as a quid pro quo, Jin gave the Tozawa group information in hopes of getting some back. He did, and when they had no information, Jin received cash. Now, though, Jin was willing to own up to his mistakes and was willing to either, speak to the top or hand in his letter of resignation. On the other hand, Hiroto, although chastised by Jin, offered him an alternative.
Jin visits Tozawa at his penthouse and informs him that Hiroto has nothing on him but will create a special unit to deal with him under Ishida's orders. Tozawa is pleased to hear this and is going to honor his promise to cut ties with Jin there, but Jin surprises him and claims that he wishes to continue their relationship together. The two then shake hands on the deal.
Later in the day, Jin meets with Hiroto at a restaurant and informs him about Tozawa's change of meth shipment at a warehouse in Yokosuna. Furthermore, Jin details that a shipment will arrive that night, but he's been assigned to join them to divert suspicion from the local police. Jin suggests that Hiroto arrive at the location before they make the shipment to scope the area out, and after he texts him the coast is clear, he plants hidden cameras around the place. This would allow them to arrest Tozawa for good, and Hiroto tacitly accepts.
Jin is driven to what he had thought was the shipment location, but as it turns out, Tozawa ordered a change in location and wasn't allowed his phone until they arrived.
That night, Hiroto was at the warehouse location. Hiroto tried to reach Jin, but his phone was out of service. After Hiroto enters the warehouse where the supposed shipment is being made, Hiroto is confronted by Tozawa, who claims that Jin is someplace where his conscience will no longer be a burden to him.
===Don't Ever F**king Miss===
Jin's surname and room number 107 are written on the back of an adult hotel matchbook that Hiroto received from a co-worker. Hiroto would later find Jin's dead body, which had died of an apparent drug overdose, and placed beside it was a picture of Hiroto and Jin at a cafe.
Two officers later document Jin's corpse while Hiroto informs Jin's superior about what led up to him discovering his body. Jin's superior lamented Jin's death, citing he was a good cop and that it was strange he'd overdose on meth with his fear of needles. After the superior, excuses the two officers, he confesses that Jin's death may not have been accidental and that he knows that Hiroto was working with Jin to take down Tozawa. With that, the superior wishes Hiroto well and leaves him.
When Hiroto informs the Assistant Commissioner about what had happened to Jin and his involvement, he's ultimately blamed for his death. It's also said that Jin's death will be reported as a heart attack so the department can save face and avoid any connection with him being affiliated with the Tozawa.
Jake learns of Jin's death when he sits with Hiroto on his porch and tells him that Tozawa has destroyed the evidence against him. Still, Hiroto assures Jake that Jin and Polina's deaths will be avenged.
Afterward, when Jake returns to the Meicho, Tin-Tin mentions that Jin is dead and that he received a tip that his reported cause of death was false. However, Jake said that Jin suffered from a heart condition, and that corroborates his cause of death. With that in mind, Tin-Tin thanks Jake.
===Be My Number One===
Jin is briefly mentioned by Hiroto when Jake learns that Hiroto was demoted to the Police Complaint Department for being held responsible for Jin's death.
===The Noble Path===
When Yabuki asks why Hiroto was with Jake about his story on Tozawa at his meeting, Hiroto answers that he was there as a friend. Yabuki finds this interesting, as Hiroto considers Jin his friend.
