It's positioned in the lowest section of the Metropolitan Police Department and headed by Ukyo Sugishita (Yutaka Mizutani). Together with his partner, Kaoru Kameyama (Yasufumi Terawaki), this team is Japan’s version of The Odd Couple, solving clueless cases in original and outrageous ways. **Notes Related titles (drama series):** Aibou: Season 1 (TV Asahi / 2002) Aibou: Season 2 (TV Asahi / 2003-2004) Aibou: Season 3 (TV Asahi / 2004-2005) Aibou: Season 4 (TV Asahi / 2005-2006) Aibou: Season 5 (TV Asahi / 2006-2007) Aibou: Season 6 (TV Asahi / 2007-2008) Aibou: Season 7 (TV Asahi / 2008-2009) Aibou: Season 8 (TV Asahi / 2009-2010) Aibou: Season 9 (TV Asahi / 2010-2011) Aibou: Season 10 (TV Asahi / 2011-2012) Aibou: Season 11 (TV Asahi / 2012-2013) Aibou: Season 12 (TV Asahi / 2013-2014) Aibou: Season 13 (TV Asahi / 2014-2015) Aibou: Season 14 (TV Asahi / 2015-2016) **Related titles (movies):** Partners: The Movie | Aibou gekijo-ban (2008) Identification: The Case Book of Mamoru Yonezawa (2009) Partners: The Movie II | Aibou Gekijo-ban II (2010) Aibou Series X DAY | Aibou Shirizu X DAY(2013) Partners: The Movie III | Aibou Gekijo-ban III (2014) **Cast** Yutaka Mizutani Yasufumi Terawaki Sawa Suzuki Saya Takagi Ittoku Kishibe Atsushi Yamanishi Seiji Rokkaku Kazuhisa Kawahara Ryosuke Otani Takashi Yamanaka Ryuji Katagiri Ryo Ono Satoshi Jinbo **Additional Cast Members** Yuki Matsushita Katsuhisa Namase Risa Sudo Koji Shimizu Miyako Yamaguchi Tetsu Watanabe Ken Nishida Mari Nishio Kouichi Nihei Hiroo Otaka Megumi Ujiie Ritsu Ishiyama Takako Kato Masuyo Iwamoto Tae Kimura Sayuri Kokusho Taro Oumiya Ren Osugi Shinobu Yuuki Manabu Hamada Toshimasa Niino Shunta Nakamura Magii Takeshi Wakamatsu Masako Miyaji Miho Miyazawa Issei Takubo - cafe master Takeo Nakahara Ryuushi Mizukami Megumi Asaoka Reiko Tajima Masato Irie Kenta Suga Shinji Rokkaku Ai Maeda Takehiko Ono Asahi Uchida Koichi Nihei - Akio Enami (ep.3) Aki Kajiwara - ep.6 Yusuke Shoji - ep.14-20 Shiro Go - ep.18
