Kankichi Ryoutsu

Kankichi Ryoutsu, also known as Ryou-san, is the main protagonist from the Kochikame series.
== Charactah Account ==
Ryoutsu is a police officer with the personality of a twelve-year old. His laziness when it comes to work is matched only by his zeal and cleverness in hatching money-making schemes, the fruits of which are invariably squandered on toys, gadgets, and cheap entertainment. He is the stereotypical street-smart "shitamachi" type, sporting a Crew cut and stomping about in ratty sandals (even in uniform), and narrow-minded towards the outside world, as he makes his rounds on a creaky old bicycle. At the same time, he is a super-otaku, up on all the latest fads in popular culture and consumer technology. While most of his interests are of the juvenile sort (such as video games and collectibles), he also indulges in more typically salaryman-type pastimes such as drinking, pachinko, and gambling (especially horse-racing). Despite his undisciplined lifestyle, he possesses superhuman strength and stamina, which he is forced to depend on at times. Ryoutsu is a bachelor and seems relatively uninterested in women, yet occasionally attracts the attention of naïve young female acquaintances, though never with any eventual success.

== Trivia ==
* His birthday is marked on 3rd March, which is a day known as "Hinamatsuri" in Japan, alternatively called the 'Girls' Festival'. Ryotsu hates his birthday due to its implications on his persona, being a grown man, and is always a day fought with peril; an experience in his youth which apparently mocked the celebration resulted in a curse being brought upon him on a yearly basis which results in catastrophic events and mishaps that only frustrate and injure him further.
* It is estimated that Ryotsu has appeared in every single chapter from the manga series since its initial debut in 1976, which already spans a total of more than 1900 different storylines combined. The same is also true for the anime series, which spanned a total of 344 episodes between 1996 to 2004.
* Outside of the manga and anime series, Ryotsu has made numerous appearances and crossovers in other popular manga series and Weekly Shonen Jump specials.
