■ Cast Information

Colonel Mares: Akio Otsuka

Comment from Akio Otsuka (voicing Colonel Mares):

“I am Akio Otsuka, and I voiced Colonel Mares in this latest installment of Ghost in the Shell.

This project was created under the concept of staying true to the original manga’s flavor. I firmly believe that longtime fans of the original work will be thrilled with the result.

I love the Ghost in the Shell series from the bottom of my heart. Today, the very worldview that Masamune Shirow-sensei put down on paper is beginning to merge with our reality. I think everyone will be left thinking, ‘Masamune Shirow is truly terrifying!’

This is the world of Masamune Shirow—the very foundation of the animated masterpieces crafted by directors Mamoru Oshii and Kenji Kamiyama. Everyone, let’s enjoy it together!!!”
