He is a skilled detective, his ability to solve cases quickly making him a valuable asset to Division 01. As an Enforcer, he is subordinate to his childhood best friend, Nobuchika Ginoza, who is an Inspector and lead officer. Although the two often seem at odds, they respect one another's judgment regarding police work. Kogami is cool-headed and detached while working a case with sharp instincts and insight into the criminal mind. The way he deals with investigations leaves even the best Enforcers impressed and appalled, as he usually uses risky methods to solve them. However, despite his mostly serious personality, Kogami has a sense of humor and finds it amusing to tease rookie Inspector, Akane Tsunemori, especially about how she once shot him with a Dominator during her first assignment with Division 01.[2] In the past and while still an Inspector, he develops strong bonds with his Enforcers, one of whom is Kogami 2

Kogami as an Inspector.

Mitsuru Sasayama. When Sasayama dies a horrible death while on the job, Kogami's emotions spiral out of control and his crime coefficient rises, leading to his demotion to Enforcer rank.[3] He also has some less disciplined tendencies, as seen in his deliberate provocation of Yuji Kanehara.[4] Kogami is born in Kanagawa to Tomoyo Kogami and her unnamed husband. In high school he meets Ginoza and they become close friends after Kogami saves Ginoza from bullies. While there, he majors in social science and takes up kickboxing and wrestling as hobbies, rarities since students only study these arts as a means of stress reduction. When Ginoza tells Kogami his future plans of becoming an Inspector, Kogami decides to do the same, graduating at the top of his class and scoring 721 points on the entry exam. He later follows Ginoza in becoming an Inspector and entering Division 03.

Three years before Tsunemori enters the Public Safety Bureau, Kogami is an Inspector transferred to Division 01 and given the task of watching over his own Enforcers, one of which is Mitsuru Sasayama. Though warned to stay detached, Kogami and Sasayama become friends. Kogami 3

A horrified Kogami finds Sasayama's mutilated corpse.

They are given a case they nickname the "Specimen Case" because the victims' bodies are dismembered, then encased in synthetic material and displayed in public, much like an insect specimen in amber. Sasayama is on the verge of finding the murderer when he is brutally dismembered and displayed in the same manner as the other victims.

Kogami is the first one to find Sasayama's dismembered and deformed body. The horror causes a sharp rise in Kogami's crime coefficient and, refusing to take treatment, he continues to work on the case and is eventually deemed a latent criminal and demoted to Enforcer.[5][6] Residence
