Kanagawa Prefectural Police

The Kanagawa Prefectural Police (, Kanagawa-ken Keisatsu) is the police force of Kanagawa Prefecture. It is largely based on the real-life version of the organization.
== Overview ==
The known divisions of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police are Homicide (which handles the commission of murders), Organized Crime (which deals with crimes related to criminal groups, such as the yakuza) and Traffic (which covers crimes committed with vehicles and also administers the prefectural driver's license issuing).

In the mid-90's, Detective Koichi Adachi of the Homicide Division of the Kanagawa Police tried to re-open a case where he had found evidence which exculpated the person convicted for a murder. However, his section chief at the time, Juro Horinouchi, was pursuing a promotion to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the re-opening of a case he'd supervised personally would threaten that, so Chief Horinouchi had Adachi reprimanded and demoted to the Traffic Division. The wrongfully convicted suspect would later commit suicide while in prison, causing Adachi to bear a lifelong grudge against Horinouchi for refusing to re-open the case.
By 2019, Adachi had heard from some of his informants in the Omi Alliance that Horinouchi (who by this point was the Commissioner of the Tokyo Police) had taken bribes from Omi patriarchs to allow them to begin operations in Tokyo unhindered after the collapse of the Tojo Clan. Apparently, these bribes had been arranged through Masumi Arakawa, a Tojo patriarch who had betrayed his Clan to join forces with the Omi. In order to gain further insight into the Arakawa Family, Adachi approached Ichiban Kasuga, an Arakawa Family member who had just finished serving an 18-year prison sentence for a murder, which the police suspected he'd only taken the fall for to cover for a higher ranking Arakawa Family officer. After informing Ichiban of his patriarch's betrayal of the Tojo, Adachi convinced Ichiban to help him investigate the bribes Horinouchi had taken from Patriarch Arakawa.
As the first part of their investigation, the duo would disrupt an Omi Alliance dinner where Patriarch Arakawa was in attendance. However, while Ichiban and Adachi were breaking into the dinner, they were caught by Tokyo Police officers that were patrolling the building. Adachi stayed behind to distract the officers while Ichiban proceeded towards Arakawa's dining hall. Ultimately, Ichiban would be non-fatally shot by Arakawa during the dinner and Adachi would be fired from the Kanagawa Police for allegedly "trespassing" in a private gathering.
Months later, Adachi would succeed in obtaining the evidence he'd sought of Commissioner Horinouchi's corruption and he would turn it over to the Tokyo Police's Internal Oversight Division, resulting in Horinouchi being fired from his position and arrested pending trial for corruption.
