Mobile Police Patlabor (Japanese: 機動警察パトレイバー, Hepburn: Kidō Keisatsu Patoreibā), also known as Patlabor (a portmanteau of "patrol" and "labor"),[3] is a Japanese science fiction media franchise created by Headgear, a group consisting of manga artist Masami Yūki, director Mamoru Oshii, screenwriter Kazunori Itō, mecha designer Yutaka Izubuchi, and character designer Akemi Takada.

The popular franchise includes a manga, a TV series, two OVA series, three feature-length movies, two light novel series, and a short film compilation, named Minipato (ミニパト) because of its super deformed (chibi) drawing style.[4] The series has been adapted into video games and licensed products from OST to toys. Patlabor is known for using mecha – designed by Yutaka Izubuchi – not just for police or military purposes, but also for industrial and municipal jobs.[5]

Plot

[edit]
See also: List of Patlabor characters

The story takes place in what was, at the time of release, the near future of 1998–2002. Mecha called "labors" are used in heavy construction work. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police has its own fleet of patrol labors ("patlabors"; as opposed to patrol cars) to combat crimes/terrorism and deal with accidents involving labors. The story arcs usually revolve around Tokyo Metropolitan Police Special Vehicle Section 2, Division 2. Labor pilot Noa Izumi is the protagonist of the series, but all of Division 2 play roles. Detectives Hata and Kusumi are the main protagonists of the third Patlabor film.[6]

Due to being released simultaneously, the manga, TV series, and feature films all take place in separate continuities. The movie timeline includes the Early Days OVA and the three animated Patlabor films. The TV timeline includes the original TV series as well as the New Files OVA. Masami Yuki's manga is separate from both, although some TV episodes and the third film draw their plots from it.[7]

The Next Generation series and film take place in 2013, with an entirely new cast (except for Shige and Buchiyama in maintenance), but the new members of SV2 have similar names and personalities to the old ones. Although some of its episodes reference the TV series, the final episode and movie are a direct sequel to Patlabor 2.[8]

The upcoming Patlabor EZY series will be set in the TV timeline.[7]

Anime

The Early Days

[edit]
  • Patlabor: The Early Days (1988–1989, OVA series, 7 episodes)

Originally known in Japan as Mobile Police Patlabor. Details the origins of the Tokyo MPD's 2nd Special Vehicles Section, otherwise known as SV2.

Movies

[edit]

A series of random labor incidents across the Greater Tokyo Area puts the SV2 on the case. The incidents turn out to be part of a dead programmer's diabolical plot to create a much bigger rampage.

A secret group of terrorists engineer a crisis in Tokyo in the winter of 2001–2002. The members of SV2's Section 2, who have been reassigned to other duties since the events of WXIII, reunite one more time to stop the threat.

Taking place a year after Patlabor: The Movie, the film features two MPD detectives who investigate the case of missing scientists working on a genetic engineering project that runs amok in Tokyo Bay. SV2's Section 2 is later called in to help rein in the danger.

A three-part series of short films known as Mobile Police Patlabor Minimum (MiniPato) were shown before screenings of WXIII. MiniPato uses paper puppets, CGI, and claymation to explain the rationale behind the whole concept of the series, especially how the Labors functioned in a realistic hard science fiction setting.

The TV Series and The New Files

[edit]

Taking place in a different continuity, the series features more adventures of SV2 Section 2, which includes an arc involving their efforts to combat an advanced Schaft Enterprises Labor called the Type J9 Griffon.

Also referred to as Patlabor 2, the series contains episodes that took place at several points between certain episodes in the TV series and after the latter's final episode. The OVA also features the conclusion of the Griffon story arc.

Patlabor REBOOT

[edit]

Kidō Keisatsu Patlabor REBOOT is a short animated film released on October 15, 2016 as part of Japan Animator Expo, featuring a modernised version of Patlabor with new characters and utilising CG for the Labors,[12] animated by Studio Khara and Studio Rikka.[13]

Patlabor EZY

[edit]
The model of the AV-98 Plus from EZY at MOVeLOT.

After the debut of Patlabor REBOOT, producer Taro Maki announced in November 2016 that a new Patlabor project was starting.[14] Patlabor EZY was formally announced at Annecy International Animated Film Festival in June 2017.[15]

A two-minute pilot for EZY was debuted in 2022 at special Patlabor screenings and exhibitions, and was played before the 35th-anniversary screenings of Patlabor the Movie in theaters in Japan.[16][17]

As part of EZY's promotional events, the robotics company MOVeLOT developed a full-scale Ingram 98 Plus, which opened to the public in 2024 (although the model is only from the torso up—it has no legs).The model Ingram is large enough to allow a pilot to sit in the cockpit, and its arms and hands can be manipulated via gloves with attached Wi-Fi sensors.[18][19]

Patlabor EZY is set to air in 2026. It will be eight episodes long and follow an anthology format, with each episode's plot being standalone from the others. Studio J.C.Staff is creating the anime, with Yukuta Izubuchi as director, Kazunori Itō as scriptwriter, Masami Yuuki as character designer, Takamitsu Satou as animation director, Akemi Takada as costume designer, and Kenji Kawaii as composer.[20][21]

Live-action series

[edit]
Main article: The Next Generation: Patlabor
A deck-up event of the live-action Ingram in 2014 in Nagoya City.

The Next Generation: Patlabor is a live-action series and film created by Mamoru Oshii, starring Erina Mano as pilot Akira Izumino, Seiji Fukushi as Yūma Shiobara, Rina Oota as Ekaterina Krachevna Kankaeva ("Kasha"), Shigeru Chiba reprising his anime role as chief mechanic Shigeo Shiba and Toshio Kakei as Captain Keiji Gotōda.[22]

The drama series was divided into 14 "short story" episodes, which were aired on BS Digital and Star Channel from 2014 and 2015 and in 7 limited advance theatrical screenings of two episodes each, alongside blu-ray and DVD releases. The movie THE NEXT GENERATION Patlabor: Shuto Kessen ("Showdown in the Capital City") (THE NEXT GENERATION パトレイバー 首都決戦) released in theaters on May 1, 2015, and a director's cut version of the movie was released on October 10, 2015.[23]

The Next Generation takes place in 2013 Tokyo. The completion of the Babylon Project has led to disuse of Labors, and Japan is in the midst of a recession. Labors falling into disuse also means there is also no place for the patrol labor squads, which have been shrunk to only one division.[23] The TV series, which consists of largely unconnected episodes, follows the new members of SV2 as they solve cases and get into trouble like their predecessors did. The film is a direct sequel to Patlabor 2, in which followers of Yukihito Tsuge carry out terrorist attacks on Tokyo, re-enacting Tsuge's coup, and SV2 has to stop them.

"Deck-up" events, where the full-scale, 9-meter tall AV-98 Ingrams used for filming are lifted from their carrier and into a standing position, were used for promoting The Next Generation at events around Japan (such as the Tokyo Motorcycle Show).[24] Even after the end of the series, the deck-up events continue to prove popular, and the Ingram often makes an appearance at festivals around Japan.[25][26]

Licensing

[edit]

All of the main Patlabor anime productions have been released overseas in some form. All the movies have been translated into English and are available in Region 1, 2 & 4 DVD format. Most of the manga is not available in North America in English, and the video games, novels and live action series have also not been released outside of Japan.

The TV series and OVAs were released in the U.S. by Central Park Media. The first two movies were released by Manga Entertainment, but later remastered and re-released in 2006 by Bandai Visual. The third movie (along with "Mini-Pato") was released by Geneon Entertainment (formerly Pioneer). Twelve sections of the manga have been translated and published by Viz Communications as single issues and in two trade paperbacks, but later dropped the manga before completing it.

Mini-Pato is available on DVD in regions 1, 2, and 4 in the Limited Edition Patlabor WXIII DVD packages.

In 2006, Bandai Visual's Honneamise label re-released the first two movies on DVD in North America with extensive bonus features and an alternate English track, and Beez Entertainment handled distribution in the UK.

Madman has the distribution rights for the movies in Australia and New Zealand in association with Manga Entertainment UK & TFC, but they have been refused the rights to the Bandai Visual dubs of the films. In 2011, Madman received the rights to the OVA and TV series from TFC, and began releasing them in 2014.[30][31] MVM Films has the licenses for the OVA & TV series for distribution in the UK and released them on DVD in 2013.[32]

In 2013, Maiden Japan (in conjunction with Section23 Films) acquired the licence to the Patlabor OAV series, and released it on Blu-ray and DVD on April 30, 2013.[33] They subsequently licensed and released the TV series on July 16, 2013;[34] the second OVA series on February 17, 2015;[35] and all of the films, with the first film released on May 5, 2015.[36]

Headgear

[edit]

Headgear (ヘッドギア, Heddogia) is a group consisting of five main writers and artists who work in the Japanese anime/manga field. The group was set up so that all the creators could retain full copyright to their work, achieve greater publicity for their work and sell their manga to anime sponsors for film production. The members are Masami Yuki, Yutaka Izubuchi, Kazunori Itō, Akemi Takada, and Mamoru Oshii. Together they worked on the anime series Patlabor and the two episode OVA Twilight Q.[37]

Other staff involved with Headgear include Kenji Kawai, Naoyuki Yoshinaga, Takayama Fumihiko, Kenji Kamiyama, and Miki Tori.[38]

Reception and legacy

[edit]

Writing about Patlabor the Movie's 35th anniversary, Matt Schley of The Japan Times called the film surprisingly prescient, and that the movie "keeps the fun and irreverence of the small-screen series while adding a more contemplative touch".[39] Tim Maughan of Reactor Magazine described Patlabor 2 as one of the most important anime films for anyone to watch, an "unmissable, if challenging, work...due to its uncompromising approach to its political themes and its breathless, stark cinematic beauty".[40] Stephen Holden of The New York Times praised WXIII: Patlabor the Movie 3 for its noir-like ambience and score, calling it a "visually absorbing futuristic fantasy" but said that its subplots were too murky to follow.[41] A report commissioned by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs credits Patlabor: The Early Days with revitalizing the OVA format for mecha anime and establishing the standard six-episode OVA format.[42]

The manga received the 36th Shogakukan Manga Award for shōnen in 1991.[43] In 2018, the Japan Anniversary Association recognized August 10 as "Patlabor Day".[2]

Patlabor's realistic mecha design has influenced several other robots both in fiction and in reality. When Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) were developing humanoid robots, they invited Yukuta Izubuchi to create the exterior design and look of the robot because of his work on Patlabor.[44] Guillermo del Toro has cited the series as an influence for Pacific Rim.[45]
