Anime Ryotsu in casual wear off-duty.

Kankichi Ryotsu (両津勘吉, Ryōtsu Kankichi), often affectionately called "Ryo-san" (両さん, Ryō-san), is the main protagonist/antagonist of the long-running Japanese manga and anime series KochiKame. He is appointed as the Chief Patrol Officer of the Kameari Kouen-Mae Police Box in the series.

Brief Summary of The Series

The typical Kochikame plot involves Ryo-san coming up with a money-making scheme by inventing a new gadget or capitalizing on a fad, achieving great success, calling on Nakagawa's help as things turn sour, and finally losing it all as the fad runs out of steam or out of control. While the plots are gag-driven, much of the humor comes from the juxtaposition of mundane characters with the bizarrely incongruous (Nakagawa's wealth, Maria's appeal, everyone's lack of actual police work), most of which is never explained or rationalized in the slightest.
