Shinichi Kudo

Shinichi Kudo (工藤 新一) is the 26th Chief Justice of the Federal Kingdom of Teiko. He previously served as President of the Kaijo High Court and adjunct professor at the University of Kaijou. Kudo's appointment was highly controversial as he was not the most senior member of the Supreme Court of Teiko when appointed as Chief Justice. Customarily, the most senior member of the court is appointed as highest justice in the country. Kudo however is Akashi's first chief justice and associate justice appointee.
