Zenigata: anime's top police officer?

Who are anime’s top cops?

That was the question at hand over at Charapedia, who are experts at asking Japanese anime fans hard-hitting questions. Let’s see who they chose as anime’s top 10 law enforcement officers.

10. Wataru Takagi
Detective Conan

9. Akane Tsunemori
Psycho-Pass

8. Shuichi Akai
Detective Conan

7. Kankichi Ryotsu
KochiKame

6. Juzo Megure
Detective Conan

5. Kengo Akechi
The Kindaichi Case Files

4. Rei Furuya/Tooru Amuro
Detective Conan

3. Shinya Kogami
Psycho-Pass

2. Miwako Sato
Detective Conan

1. Koichi Zenigata
Lupin III

Well, one thing’s for sure: Japanese fans sure love Detective Conan. Still, Zenigata, everyone’s favorite bumbling detective from Lupin III, took the number one spot. Considering Zenigata never actually manages to catch Lupin, we’re not quite sure by what definition he is the best, but we’ll cop to loving him too.
