About this title

Synopsis

Daisuke Aurora works with the special division of peacekeepers in the city of Jewde, one of the largest cities on the planet. He and his android partner, Heat Guy J, team up to make sure that anything illegal stays off the streets and out of circulation. However, their presence doesn't sit too well with the local mob leader—a ruthless, unbalanced, well-armed son of the late Don, who is out to prove that he is not too young to take over the family business. In the city that never sleeps, will Daisuke and Heat Guy J end up sleeping with the fishes? (Source: TokyoPop)

Status: Human Age: 21 Rank: Special Forces Unit Officer Height: 175 cm Weight: 67 kg Daisuke is the part of the main force behind the Special Services Bureau. Quite often he prefers spending his time defending the streets and avoiding any paper work involved (hence a running joke of him "not turning in his reports.") Although he never really shows it, Daisuke is quite compassionate and has a strong sense of justice. However, he has deep and painful memories of the vanishing of his mother and his father (a politician) being murdered by an android. The only memoir of his father is a bullet pendant he wears around his neck. (Source: ANN)

Name: J Status: Android Age: 3 Rank: Special Forces Android Unit Weight: 300 kg Sex: n/a J ( ジェイ, Jei?) (also known as "Heat Guy J") - Special Services Android, 3, Appearance of a 40-year-old Man * Voiced by: Takayuki Sugo (Japanese), Bob Papenbrook (English) An android with incredible power, J was created in cooperation between a government facility and a civilian enterprise; androids are illegal in Judoh, but a special exception is made for J, much to the dismay of wary city officials.. Despite his hulking size, J can run at enormous speeds and packs a powerful punch. However, after prolonged bouts of action, J must cool himself down by venting a great deal of superheated air from pipes mounted on his shoulders. J is maintained by the Civilian Enterprises Sect technician Antonia Bellucci. It is said that J is modeled after Antonia's father. This is probably why J seems to be so human sometimes, with a noble character and strong beliefs on things like how a man should act. (Wikipedia)
