Saeko Nogami

Saeko is the eldest of five daughters.Her father, the Tokyo Police Comissioner is always hoping she'll choose a husand soon, even going so far as to select candidates and collect dossiers on them. But Saeko refuses, saying that she won't marry a man who can't match her skills or beat her in combat. She's a cool cop who never lets the guys get any further than she wants them to.

Her signiture weapons are the razor stilettos she carries strapped to her thighs. But there's more to Saeko and meets the eye...

She, Ryo Saeba, and Hideyuki Makimura used to work as a close knit trio. She and Makimura used to be partners in the police force before he decided to become Ryo's right-hand man. There was also a romantic element involved when the three worked together. Both men were in love with Saeko and she was in love with both men, but just before she was going to decide between the two, Hideyuki was killed by a drug lord. After Hideyuki's death, neither Ryo nor Saeko could bring themselves to approach the issue of romance. Just as the pain of their mutual loss began to subside Kaori enters the picture and things take a different turn... But as a result, there may not be another character who knows the REAL Ryo better than Saeko. Often she uses this towards her advantage, whether it be enlisting Ryo's help in a case, or just simply playing up to him. But when push comes to shove, she's always there for him when he needs her, and she'll give him a good lecture or two when she thinks he's gone to far in hiding his emotions. She's also always looking out for Kaori. "She's Hideyuki's sister..."

Makimura quit being a cop and became Ryo's partner when he (and Saeko) screwed up in an undercover operation. The undercover female police officers were killed. Makimura blamed himself harshly for his mistake. The crime they were investigating was a female slavery ring.

Saeko's formal job title is Metropolitan Police Special Investigation Detective.
