Sabu to Ichi Torimono Hikae (佐武と市捕物控, Sabu and Ichi's Detective Memoirs), sometimes translated as Sabu and Ichi's Detective Stories/Tales and Sabu and Ichi's Arrest Warrant, is a Japanese manga series by Shotaro Ishinomori originally published in Weekly Shōnen Sunday from 1966 to 1967.[1][2] In April 1968, the series moved to serialization in the first issue of Big Comic, where it was published until the series ended four years later in the April 10, 1972 issue.[3]

The manga was adapted into a black and white anime television series which aired on NET from October 3, 1968, to September 24, 1969.[4] The series won the 1968 Shogakukan Manga Award.[5]

In addition to the manga and anime series, a live action period drama series was aired on Fuji TV from 1981 to 1982 as part of their Jidaigeki Special series. A total of four specials were created and aired.
