Story
The Special Investigation Unit is a secret force of five specialists in various fields. They investigate political and terrorism incidents that pose a crisis to the country behind the scenes and work to resolve them. The unit is under the direct control of Kaji Daiki, the head of the National Police Agency’s Security Bureau. Led by Yoshinaga Mitsunari, a former detective of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s First Investigative Division, its members are Inami Akira who sustained serious trauma in a special mission during the time he was in the Self-Defence Forces; Tamaru Saburo who was ordered to transfer from the Public Security Department’s Foreign Affairs Division in the wake of some incident and was later picked out by the Special Investigation Unit; Kashii Yusuke, a former member of the riot police’s bomb disposal unit; and Oyama Rei, a former hacker of remarkable ability. They find themselves confronting terrorists, new cult groups, military spies and drug trafficking organisations, and torn between their own sense of justice and reality. One day, a young man called Udagawa Keisuke appears with a bomb around his neck in an open space surrounded by tall buildings. This causes a commotion around him. The son of the current Foreign Minister, Keisuke had committed numerous crimes including drugs and assault but evaded arrest because of his father’s clout. The criminal demands a public apology from the Foreign Minister on an evening news programme. If he fails to do so, Keisuke will be killed in public. The members of the Special Investigation Unit receive instructions from Kaji and rush over to the scene. Despite their disgust with Keisuke, they follow Yoshinaga’s lead to arrest the person responsible for this crime. As the time limit gets closer with each passing moment, Inami and Tamaru make contact with someone who holds the key to the case and they learn a shocking truth. Inami also has some misgivings about the crime scene … …

Like Inami Akira, he is highly skilled in combat but subdues criminals with calm moves unlike Inami.
