Cell Phone Cop Zenigata Mai (2003)

Keitai Deka Zenigata Mai (Cell Phone Cop Zenigata Mai) was a popular Japanese television show in 2003, that spawned several independent seasons and several movies based on the original characters. Japanese Television is quite unlike American TV. Their 'seasons' for a show may last a fraction of the standard number of episodes for an American Television show, and several seasons may appear in the same calendar year. Keitai Deka Zenigata Mai only refers to the first 'season' of the show (the other years have different titles) which ran 13 episodes from Oct 2003 to December 2003 at a late Sunday Night Time slot. Horikita Maki is the hot 20 year old actress who plays the titular Zenigata Mai . Mai is a 16 year-old genius AND police superintendent(!!) who has been ordered to pose as a student at Aobadai High School . She uses a cell phone with a very long ribbon strap to catch criminals. All of the incarnations of this character use cell phones as their 'tool for justice' because Japanese Cell phone provider NTT DoCoMo is the main sponsor. There is an entire series of shows based on this premise: ultra cute and "too young to be a police officer" starlet is a crime fighter using a weird gadget to fight crime (in this case, a cell phone). Purely Fanboy material and not regarded as 'serious' crime drama.

The following weapons were used in the television series Keitai Deka Zenigata Mai:

Smith & Wesson Model 10

Actually a painted metal Japanese replica of the Model 10. The finish looks like a painted replica gun, and like some Japanese television shows, the blanks are weird proprietary blanks that shoot out sparks versus the big fireball from real guns firing cinema blanks.

The pistol butt appears to be smaller than usual.

TT33

This really appears to be a bad plastic toy replica of a TT-33 Pistol. The dimensions are off and the finish looks .... well, plastic.

Hakamada Gonshiro (Junkichi Orimoto) fires his replica M1911A1 pistol with proprietary Japanese 'cap' blanks.

Sparking blanks throw a little 'spark' ahead of the barrel and mostly out of the chamber, which indicates strongly that it is not a real firearm.

AUGA2

A Tokyo Marui Airsoft Steyr AUG is seen.
