Kiichi Goto Husbando

Kiichi Goto is the captain of Section 2 Division 2 in Mobile Police Patlabor. Born in the Taito Ward in Tokyo. He is a heavy smoker who always keeps beer in the fridge in the barracks. At first glance, he appears to be a lackadaisical middle manager, but he is a shrewd operator who manages the 2nd squad, which is made up of people with quirks and idiosyncrasies, and always gets his way in political negotiations with the police upper echelon. Kiichi Goto is laid back at times, even apathetic, but is in fact an extremely capable and politically savvy police officer; not only is his strategic awareness quite acute, Goto is as subtle and manipulative as any given situation requires. Hence he got the nickname "Razor Goto" in the police. True to form, however, Goto is on top of most events long before most others are even aware of what's going on. It can also be noted within him that a small sadistic streak exists, in that he enjoys the suffering of his team members on letting them do all the detective work where he already knew what they are sent out to discover; much to the chagrin of his subordinates who loathe this quality. Although his methods are ridiculed as "villainous," he is trusted by his colleagues, such as Shinobu Nagumo, who frowns upon his methods, and Yuma and Matsui, who often feel dissatisfied and taken advantage of. This is because his principles are based on the belief in "justice." On the other hand, he is disliked by the police upper echelon because of his principles.
