Patrick Abe Oct 21 2021 12:50 pm KIKU TV (Honolulu) broadcast "License for the Heartless" in the 1970's with Amachi Shigeru and Yamamura Soh as Chief detective and Captain, respectively. Unreliable memory is all I have left, since Internet searches yield next to nothing. As I recall, Hidari Tonpei was the "Columbo" detective, "Migita." There were at least 2-3 three other characters, but all I can remember is a a "sharp dressed" detective and a female detective with a hard post-World War II past. This series was fully subtitled by the then-new JNP Productions, which was a hit with "folks who didn't go to Japanese school" and the Deaf (Hearing Impaired). There was a rival set of detectives, but details have been lost to time. (I can sorta remember what the Captain looked like, but the actor's name/character has been forgotten.) Can you shed any light on this long-ago/forgotten "Police Procedural/Cop show?"
