Explanation and Etymology - (刑事) keiji

刑事 is a Japanese word meaning "criminal investigator" or "detective". It is composed of the characters 刑 (kei), which means "penalty" or "punishment", and 事 (ji), which means "matter" or "business". The etymology of the word goes back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when the Japanese judicial system was based on corporal punishment and torture to obtain confessions. The 刑事 were responsible for investigating crimes and applying the corresponding punishments.

Nowadays, 刑事 is a common term in Japan to refer to detectives and criminal investigators.
