Biography
Ninzaburo Shiratori is a Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officer whose childhood ambition changed from law to policing after he helped a girl stop two juvenile thieves. He later comes to believe that Miwako Sato is that childhood girl, putting him in romantic competition with Takagi and repeatedly prompting unsuccessful attempts to ask Sato out.

Shiratori eventually becomes an inspector and even leads a secret police group devoted to keeping other officers away from Sato. After Sato chooses Takagi, he discovers that Sumiko Kobayashi was actually the girl from his childhood. His fixation on Sato fades, and his affection for Sumiko develops into mutual love while his earlier arrogance noticeably softens.
