Seibu Keisatsu (西部警察, Police: Western Division^?) is a television drama series produced by Ishihara Promotions (石原プロモーション, ishihara puromōshon^?) and broadcast on TV Asahi (テレビ朝日, terebi asahi.^?)

[edit] Plot

The series portrays the Western Police Headquarters Criminal Investigation Division's Detective Chief Daimon, played by Tetsuya Watari (渡哲也, Watari Tetsuya^?) and his subordinates, dubbed the Daimon Force (大門軍団, Daimon Gundan^?), and their superior, Section Chief Kogure, played by Ishihara Yūjirō (石原裕次郎, Yūjirō Ishihara^?), as they fight against heinous criminals.

With its flashy, over-the-top explosion scenes, car stunts, this series gained a reputation as a macho drama. It is representative of the police & detective dramas of not only the 1980's and the 20th century.
