Lieutenant Joshi was a member of the Retirement Division of the LAPD and the superior of officer K, a Blade Runner.

Biography

Following his retirement of Nexus-8 replicant Sapper Morton, K contacted Joshi for a debriefing. She summoned him back to headquarters for a baseline test. K found a footlocker hidden under a tree, which Joshi went a team to procure.[1]

Later in the evening, Joshi called K back to headquarters after the container's contents were determined to be humanoid remains. After K's arrival, it was determined that the remains belonged to a female replicant who had died in childbirth. To keep order, Joshi ordered K to find and retire the replicant's child.[1]

Lab technician Coco was later found dead and the replicant remains missing. Joshi went to K's apartment, learning that he discovered at Sapper Morton's farm a baby's sock and a date that was inscribed into the tree.[1]

Joshi asked K to recall a memory he had of being a child, hiding a toy wooden horse from a group of boys. Afterwards, she left as she told him to research the DNA of the child.[1]
