Yakushiji Ryōko no Kaiki Jikenbo (Japanese: 薬師寺涼子の怪奇事件簿, lit. "Ryōko Yakushiji's Strange Case Files"), known in English as Ryoko's Case File, is a Japanese novel series written by Yoshiki Tanaka and illustrated by Narumi Kakinouchi. It was adapted into manga and an anime television series, two drama CDs had also been released prior to the anime adaptation with different voice actors.

Plot

[edit]

The series is centered on an elite police officer named Ryōko Yakushiji. A graduate of Tokyo University's Law Faculty, she is currently among the youngest superintendents in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. With the assistance of her subordinate Junichirō Izumida, Ryōko works with her colleagues including her rival and fellow superintendent Yukiko Muromachi, alongside JACES security forces personnel and her personal maids Lucienne and Marianne, to investigate and resolve seemingly paranormal, supernatural or bizarre events that become involved in criminal cases—particularly when police procedures or modern science cannot be applied—before they go out of hand.

Because the novels, manga and the anime adaptations have different stories, paranormal events and creatures involved, their central plots are most of the time different from each other.[a]

Organizations

[edit]

JACES

[edit]

Owned by the Yakushiji family, it's a security company that ex-police officers both enlisted and high-ranking are employed into after their retirement.[1] JACES is well known as one of Asia's best security companies,[2] with its main headquarters located in Akasaka-mitsuke. The company's official slogan is "Safety".[2] Its personnel use gray for their uniform color.[1]

In combat operations, they use PASGT ballistic helmets, gray BDUs, tactical vests and light to medium body armor.[1] JACES personnel are armed with expandable baton sticks when they encounter unarmed people.[1]

Its origins are traced back to the end of World War II when the "Japanese Empire Security Service" (大日本警備保障, Dai Nihon Keibi Hoshō) was established before it became JACES, which was supposed to be used for the basis of a restructured Japanese military before Ruriko went to create the JPP instead.[3] The novel mentions that has branch offices in France and in the US.

Japan Private Police

[edit]

Known as the "Nippon Private Police" (日本私用警察, Nihon shiyo keisatsu),[b] it was founded by ex-Diet member Ryojun Tadomura and heavily funded by the Government of Japan to counter the influence of JACES in the domestic and international security market.[4] They are known to be hired in war-torn countries after military forces are pulled back, conducting police duties in their place.[5] JPP personnel are also hired as private security guards. JPP uses green as its color as evident in their uniforms.[5] Unlike JACES, where most of its manpower comes from ex-law enforcement personnel, JPP recruits its personnel mostly from ex-SDF personnel.[6]

During combat operations, JPP personnel are identified with green heavy body armor, anti-riot helmets and are armed with mostly Howa Type 89 assault rifles, Heckler & Koch MP5 and Minebea PM-9 submachine guns with expandable baton sticks.[7][4][5][8] In normal operations, JPP personnel operate as private guards and sometimes, deploy robot droids to help them conduct searches and patrols with/for them.[4]

It does not appear in the original novel and manga version.

Shiba

[edit]

Located in the Greater Tokyo Area, Shiba () is said to house several departments of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department that operate under secret circumstances for covert missions.[9]

It takes its name from the Shiba district of Tokyo's Minato ward. It does not appear in the original novel and manga version.

Characters

[edit]
Protagonists of Yakushiji Ryōko no Kaiki Jikenbo. From left to right: Assistant Inspector Junichirō Izumida, Superintendent Ryōko Yakushiji, Superintendent Yukiko Muromachi and Assistant Inspector Akira Kishimoto.

Main

[edit]
Ryōko Yakushiji (薬師寺 涼子, Yakushiji Ryōko)
Voiced by: Hitomi Nabatame (TV)[10]
Voiced by: Tomoko Kawakami (Drama CD)
A 27-year-old officer, holding the rank of Superintendent,[11] in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Bureau, she graduated from Tokyo University's Law Faculty.[12] She is quite skilled in armed and unarmed combat and tends to attack head-on, with or without backup. Attractive, haughty, and fashionable, she has never been seen wearing the same clothes twice. She also speaks French aside from her native Japanese, which made her the primary candidate for an assignment in France under INTERPOL.[10][11]
She has a romantic interest in her subordinate, Assistant Inspector Junichiro Izumida, and often shows it through her actions such as taking him along with her wherever she goes, finding ways to spend time with him even during his day off and sometimes asking him to spend the night at her place. But he is generally too naive to notice it.
Her grandfather, Masamoto Yakushiji, was the founder of the Japanese Empire Security Service, which was the predecessor to JACES - now a multinational security company - currently headed by her father, Hiroki Yakushiji. As his successor, Ryōko does not hesitate to use its assets if necessary to help her in her work. She has an older sister named Kinuko Yakushiji.
Because police officers go to JACES after they retire under amakudari, her colleagues in the police force do not dare oppose her in fear that they will have no job after they leave the police. To top it all, Ryoko knows the dirty secrets of high-ranking government officials and so they are afraid to cross her. Most of the police officers, high-ranking government officials and media practitioners fear not only her influence and power but her personality as well.
Her rival, and fellow Superintendent, Yukiko Muromachi calls her Oryo.
The novels state that Ryoko is fluent in English, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Latin.
Junichirō Izumida (泉田 準一郎, Izumida Junichirō)
Voiced by: Hidenobu Kiuchi (TV)[10]
Voiced by: Kazuhiko Inoue (Drama CD)
A 33-year-old non-career officer, holding the rank of Assistant Inspector,[11] in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Bureau.[12] After graduating from what he considers an average university, he started out as a uniformed police officer. He was previously with the 1st division of the Criminal Investigation Bureau prior to his reassignment to Superintendent Ryōko Yakushiji.[10] Izumida acts as her assistant.[11]
He is very submissive, perhaps as a result of always being around Ryoko, but can also be assertive and aggressive when the situation calls for it. Junichiro is often caring and kind to the people close to him, always watching over his superior Ryōko and her rival Yukiko. He is quite oblivious to Ryōko's infatuation and her efforts to get his attention. Like his superior, Izumida is also quite skilled in armed and unarmed combat.
Though he is usually on the receiving end of Ryoko's oppressive personality, he remains loyal to her and tries his best to protect her.
He is also the narrator of the entire series.[10]
Yukiko Muromachi (室町 由紀子, Muromachi Yukiko)
Voiced by: Hōko Kuwashima (TV)[10]
Voiced by: Yuriko Fuchizaki (Drama CD)
A 27-year-old officer, holding the rank of Superintendent,[11] in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Security Bureau.[12] Ryōko calls her "Oyuki". Equally attractive and intelligent, their rivalry goes all the way back to their days in college and they never miss an opportunity to verbally antagonize each other. An epitome of decorum, Ryōko usually leaves her in charge of diffusing tense situations as well as press interviews.
Prior to her current assignment, Muromachi was assigned to a position in the Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office.
Although she is the daughter of an influential former police officer,[10] her sense of justice prevents her from using her family ties in carrying out her duties. Her subordinate is Akira Kishimoto.
Akira Kishimoto (岸本 明, Kishimoto Akira)
Voiced by: Kenji Nojima (TV)[10]
Voiced by: Yūji Ueda (Drama CD)
