Kerberos Panzer Cop, also known as Hellhounds Legend (Japanese: 犬狼伝説, Hepburn: Kenrō Densetsu; lit. 'Legend of Dogs and Wolves') and Hellhounds: Panzer Cops, or just Hellhounds overseas, is a Japanese alternate history political thriller manga series written by Mamoru Oshii and illustrated by Kamui Fujiwara with mechanical designs by Yutaka Izubuchi, running from 1988 to January 2000.
