Biography[]
Arakawa works for the chief in staff at JGSDF, specifically for the special intel office. He uses his position as a cover to keep tabs on SV2 especially Shinobu Nagumo. In reality he is an associate of Yukihito Tsuge who helped him plot out the political conspiracy events of Patlabor 2: The Movie. Arakawa wanted political upheaval and unrest but was betrayed by Yukihito Tsuge as he escalated things to terroristic levels by attempting to start a civil war inside Japan. Due to these events he disassociated himself from Tsuge and decided to ask for Division 2 help. Arakawa wanted to arrest him on his own terms and take credit for it all while keeping the organization conspirators a secret.
