Po-Lee Tiqu

Po-Lee Tiqu was the arrogant mayor of Redroad City during the events of Percy Ikenberry 1.

Murder of Satoshi Shoudai
When his longstanding enemy Satoshi Shoudai was murdered, Tiqu was the prime suspect. But because he "Runs this town," the police had trouble arresting him. Mayor Tiqu was surprisingly good at manipulating the commissioner, who doesn't get intimidated quickly. It was only through Percy Ikenberry, Buddy Hogan and Shelly Gumm's efforts, that Tiqu was finally arrested as the true culprit.

Personality
Tiqu is a very energetic and beloved man. People from Redroad liked to see him as an uncle rather than a mayor. When in public, Tiqu acted nice and funny. But when showing his true colors, he was an arrogant man.
