The saga is centered on the fictitious Tokyo police Special Armed Garrison whose emblem and nickname is Kerberos (a.k.a. Cerberus), the mythological three-headed watchdog of hell. Before it was officially renamed "Kerberos Saga" circa 2004, it was known as the "Kerberos series" (ケルベロス・シリーズ, keruberosu shirīzu) or the "Kenrō series" (犬狼・シリーズ, kenrou shirīzu).
