探偵物語
Tantei Monogatari (Detective Story) "is an action Japanese TV series ... which was originally broadcast on [[Nippon TV]] in 27 forty-five-minute episodes from September 18, 1979 to April 1, 1980." [1]

Matsuda Yusaku (松田 優作) stars as [[Kudou Shunsaku (tantei monogatari)|Kudou Shunsaku]] (工藤 俊作), who "sets up office in a rundown building as a private detective after spending five years as a cop in San Francisco where he became familiar with firearms." [1]

A scene of Kudou [[spit_take|spitting out]] coffee in the opening credits is frequently parodied. See the scene "here":[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blZR1o8-VWs&t=50s].
