スケバン刑事 was one of my all-time favorite 80s idol drama and most of that was owing to its star the incredibly cute 斉藤由貴 Saito Yuki.
80's J_Pop Idol, Saito Yuki had a string of hits during the 80's including "Soutsugyo" [Graduation] (1985), "Hatsukoi" [First Love] (1985), "Aozora No Kakera" [Piece of Blue Sky] (1986), "Oracion -- Inori" [Oracion -- Prayer] (1988), and "Yume No Naka E" [In Your Dreams] (1989).
Her catchy single "Kanashimi O Konichiwa" [Hello Sadness] (1986) was used as the title song for the popular Anime series "Maison Ikkoku" (Kitty/Fuji TV; 1986).
In addition to her singing career, Saito also starred in a string of dramas and movies including "Hachidai Shogun Yoshimune" (The Eighth Shogun -- Yoshimune; NHK, 1995), "Dousoukai" (Reunion; NTV, 1989), "Koisuru Onna Tachi" (Women In Love; Toho, 1987), "Yushun -- Orashion" (Toho, 1988), "Hong Kong Paradise" (Toho, 1990), and "Ah Haru" (Ah, Spring; Shochiku, 1998). She was most recently seen in the movie "Inochi" (Life; 2002). She also had a interesting cameo in Matsuura Aya's recent movie remake of the series.
Saito's single the haunting "Shiroi Hono" [White Flame] was used as the theme song for Season One of "Sukeban Deka". The lyrics were written for her by another 80's J-Pop icon, singer-song writer Tamaki Koji, lead member of the then popular group Anzenchitai.
Story: Asamiya Saki was the ruling Sukeban (Female Gang Leader) of Takanoha Gakuen High School where she caused no end of trouble (got into fights, skipped classes and damaged property). Frustrated, her teachers soon had her arrested and incarcerated in Juvenile Detention. Ironically, her mother Natsu was also incarcerated on death row, charged with the murder of her husband, Asamiya Junya.
Learning of her exploits, Saki was approached by mysterious Kurayami Shirei (Dark Director) with a unique deal. If she would use her skills and talents and work for "The Cabinet" as an undercover juvenile agent, she would be pardoned of all her past crimes. She would also win her mother's freedom.
Given no real choice, Saki grudgingly accepts the offer, albeit she doesn't fully trust Kurayami Shirei.
Assigned a handler by the name of Jin Kyoichiro, who would relay her assignments to her and assist her in dire events, Saki would become the first recruit for the government's "Sukeban Deka Project".
Her only weapon against the various juvenile gangs, Yakuza criminals and government subversives that she was assigned to stop, was a specially designed steel compound "Yo-Yo" which she would use as a throwing and grappling weapon.

アイドルらしからぬハードな演技
シリーズどれも個性があって好きだし、
それぞれ持ち味があった
こういう作風をドラマ化にしたのも凄いけど
しかし原作もののドラマ作るならこういう感じのドラマも新たに作 ればいいのになあと思う
歌もサイコーに好きです!
いいねぇ~。
やはり由貴ちゃんの初代スケバン刑事が一番いいです。
