History Manga / Kochikame

For its 30th anniversary in 2006, Mr. Akimoto was awarded with many of Shueisha's (and other publishers as well) artists making {{Crossover}}s with his series, such a event being legendary since when artists are invited to pay a homage to [[PrintLongRunners Long Running]] series in Jump, said artist will likely draw a character from the series with his own artstyle and not much else; ''Kochikame'' got ''actual'' crossovers, ''full'' self-contained stories and appearing in ''other'' Jump series as a {{Cameo}}, it also made some artists who were working in ''nothing at all'' to get off their seats and make a story just for this ongoing legend.

* [[{{Bara}} Bara Bait]]: Considering how many times the main character or some guy winds up naked or gets their butt exposed, this trope is justified. Hell, Soup Gobin has plenty of posts about this on his blog.
* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: Ryotsu's successful schemes often ends with him losing his fortune, usually becoming more broke than at the beginning of the episode.

* BoobsOfSteel: Reiko, Maria, and Jodie are {{Action Girl}}s whenever a chapter involves them, and they have bust sizes of over 93cm.

** Reiko Catherine Akimoto. She works as Patrol Officer in the Police Box, and is a tall and beauty woman with long blonde hair and large breasts.

''Kochikame'' (short for ''[[LongTitle Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen Mae Hashutsujo]]'', which translates to ''This Is the Police Station in Front of Kameari Park in Katsushika Ward'') is a comedy manga that ran in ''[[Magazine/ShonenJump Weekly Shonen Jump]]'', written by Osamu Akimoto. The main character is Kankichi Ryotsu, a lazy, street-wise cop with {{salaryman}} tendencies, like playing Pachinko, betting at the horses or trying his luck at custom get-rich-quick schemes. Some times, he even does police work.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Ryotsu wears wooden sandals while in uniform. Flashbacks of him as a rookie police officer has him complaining that his feet hurt from wearing police shoes.
