    The wildly popular Hancho series returns to television for a 6th season! This time, the setting moves to the foot of Tokyo’s newest landmark, the Sky Tree tower, in the Oshiage district. There, a new police station has been established, Japan’s first “branch station” of an existing precinct, aiming at a leaner operation free of organizational red tape. The “branch station” promises to serve as a neutral mediator between the main precinct office and neighborhood police boxes and is manned by four detectives, namely, the Azumi unit that so successfully foiled a major terrorist plot through outstanding teamwork six months ago. No sooner is the new branch launched when a tour bus around circling the Sky Tree is hijacked, throwing the Azumi team into the fray with a new slew of crimes in fresh stomping grounds.
