Tokyo Dogs (東京DOGS, Tōkyō DOGS), sometimes styled as Tôkyô Dogs, is a Fuji TV Japanese television drama, which stars Shun Oguri, Hiro Mizushima and Yuriko Yoshitaka.

Synopsis

So Takakura (Oguri) witnessed his father's murder at a young age. Pledging to catch the killer, he grows up to become an elite cop in New York City, where the criminal lives. His character is cool-headed and disciplined, yet adapts well. Because of major drug dealings, he gets sent to Tokyo to conduct a joint investigation with the Japanese police. There, he gets teamed up with, Maruo Kudo (Mizushima), a detective from a special investigative division. Kudo is a hot-blooded fighting expert due to his earlier days as a delinquent, but he makes a strong impression[1] with his stylish appearance and is always interested in going on group dates. His personality, interests, and investigation methods are completely mismatched with Takakura's, but the two somehow work together to crack the case they have been given. With the appearance of a woman who apparently lost all her memories yet seemed to be greatly linked to the murderer of Takakura's father, the story of the worst,yet the best, partnership between the New York elite and the Japanese detective begins...

gollark: If building materials were better and construction a lot cheaper and more efficient, you could plausibly leverage vertical space and make cities much denser without compromising on available living space much.

gollark: I mean, any random stupid office thing can be done from anywhere and might just be automated anyway.

gollark: A lot *can* though.

gollark: Some employers have realized that they *can* do remote work, and I imagine this will increase as the technology improves.

gollark: If people don't need to physically be somewhere to do work, they have more options.
