STAND ALONE COMPLEX攻殻機動隊 STAND ALONE COMPLEX

Exceptionally skilled in warfare both conventional and cyber, she possesses a top-class cybernetic body, and distinctive red eyes. Although she still goes by "Major" and fills the role of leader of Section 9's field team, she doesn't harbor the doubts about herself as a cyborg that she does in Oshii's theatrical version. In cyberspace, she uses an avatar named Kuroma. The cybernetic child-body she uses as a decot (a portmanteau of decoy and robot) is referred to as "Kodomotoko" (from the Japanese kodomo, meaning "child," and Motoko). Her girlfriends, Lan and Kurutan, help fill out her private life.

Chief of Public Security Section 9. Formerly with the investigative arm of the Ground Self-Defense Force under Colonel Tonoda, he was one of "Tonoda's Three Crows" along with Kubota and the late Tsujisaki, both of whom he remains close friends with. He has a wife, from whom he is separated, and a grandchild. Unlike in the film, he has a cyberbrain.

A cyborg and former Ranger with all the combat prowess that implies. He is especially attached to the Tachikomas, one of which he reserves for his exclusive use. Despite not having any actual muscles of his own to train, he has an affinity for muscle-training paraphernalia. He has both an intense and a somewhat comical side.

Previously a detective with the main office, he has formidable deductive powers and a firm sense of what is right. Other than his cyberbrain, his body is fully organic. He is also the only family person in Section 9. His character is mostly unchanged from Oshii's theatrical version, including his love for his Mateba revolver.

As a former soldier, he can handle himself in combat, but his particular talent is for electronic information gathering. He often supports Section 9's activities from their cyberbrain dive room. He runs a safe house that doubles as a cyberbrain pachinko parlor, and he has been known to make use of customers' cyberbrains on occasion.

Section 9's sniper. His left eye has been replaced with a cybernetic substitute called a Hawkeye, which allows him to link up with satellites for more precise shooting. In addition to a cyberbrain, his left arm is also prosthetic, but even so, he is second only to Togusa in the amount of his organic body that still remains.

Primarily supports Ishikawa with cyber-based information gathering. Due to his past experience with handling explosives in the military, he often finds himself dealing with investigations involving them. Like Batou, he has prosthetic eyes. He is also even larger than Batou, though he exudes a friendly aura.

Well-versed in hand-to-hand combat, especially knives. However, he is also skilled at reconnaissance and getting information out of people, so he chiefly handles standard investigations. In his personal life, he seems to be quite the playboy, but his taciturn nature leaves many aspects about his life, including his relations with women, a mystery.

Small combat tanks operated by Public Security Section 9. Equipped with AI, they are capable of autonomous actions even without a human operator. They can also carry a single passenger, so can be used for tasks such as apprehending and containing suspects. It's armed with a main cannon capable of firing grenades and other projectiles, and it has a machine gun mounted on its front right leg. Its four rear legs allow both walking and wheeled locomotion. Additionally, it can launch wires similar to artificial spider silk, allowing it to hoist itself to higher positions or restrain the movements of targets.

A wunderkind hacker who launched the "Laughing Man" phenomenon when he kidnapped Ernest Serano. He could be considered the original Laughing Man, but it was actually an essay about the Murai vaccine he found on the Net that formed the initial impetus for his actions. In that sense, he too could be considered a copycat. In addition, he never refers to himself by the name Laughing Man.

Skilled in cyber warfare, he is also responsible for maintaining the Tachikoma. His true identity is a Bioroid, a type of genetically engineered humanoid.

Killed in combat during Public Security Section 9's raid on the port in Etorofu where Kuze was believed to be. The loss of a comrade in the battle left the members of Public Security Section 9 speechless.

One of the new Public Security Section 9 recruits introduced in this work along with Proto and Yano. You can see his grown-up appearance in the following work, "S.S.S."

The first female prime minister of Japan, she authorized the reformation of Section 9. Her administration replaced the previous "Yakushima Administration" with a reactionary conservative government. Soon after taking office, she announced a shift in refugee policy. While she called herself a "figurehead for fighting snap elections," she struggled to demonstrate effective leadership. However, through a series of refugee-related incidents, she grew both personally and as a leader.

He becomes infected with the Individual Eleven virus and attempts to assassinate Prime Minister Kayabuki. While conducting peace-keeping activities on the peninsula, he met many refugees, many of whom were drawn to his personal charisma. At the same time, however, he grew disgusted with people who chew through the infrastructure of the Net, only collecting information that benefits them. As he contemplates a revolution of his own, specifically a merging of man and Net,he escapes the influence of the virus and becomes a leader of the refugees.

Deputy chief representative of the Cabinet Intelligence Service's division for battle influence assessment. Previously involved in the production of radiation removal micromachines at the Dai-Nippon Technical Institute. While he used to have an ordinary face, he chose to retain the scars he received during an accident. His goal is to engineer "heroes" who will shape public opinion as part of a scheme to promote the rejection of refugees.

Perhaps influenced by her battles against formidable enemies such as Aoi and Kuze, after disappearing from Public Security Section 9, she begins secretly intervening in "incidents that cannot be dealt with through typical organizational methodologies" via the use of multiple remote bodies, conducting investigative activities based on personal reasoning.
One such undertaking involved making a contract with the Treaty Inspection Department to assassinate Ka Rum. The assassination was meant to be carried out in an official manner, but the "Puppeteer" beat her to the job, driving Ka Rum to commit suicide.

Feeling the loss caused by the absence of Motoko Kusanagi, he now shows signs of aging. Nevertheless, he aims to expand Public Security Section 9 with the objective of forming "an organization capable of resolving three incidents with an 80% effort." In an attempt to leave a legacy behind after his retirement, he is attempting to restructure the organization.

Still with Public Security Section 9, he now takes on the role of a training instructor for new recruits. However, he frequently involves himself in cases that seem likely to be related to Motoko Kusanagi. He has declined offers from Aramaki to become the leader of Public Security Section 9.

After Batou declined the position, he became head of field operations for Public Security Section 9, also becoming partially cyborg. He has also revealed the truth to his family, admitting that he works for Public Security instead of a private security company as he previously told them. This has allowed him to find balance between his work and family life.

As one of the remaining veterans of Public Security Section 9, he continues to engage primarily in information gathering activities. He managed to obtain the initial lead regarding the disappearance of over 20,000 children and was the one who managed to deactivate the security system during the raid on the Sacred People's Relief Center.

Although deployed to Africa for a different mission, he returned home when the Puppeteer incident occurred. Although she was advised by Togusa to get some rest, she was urgently summoned by Aramaki upon receiving news of Raj Poot's entry into the country, leading to a sniper showdown.

Still with Public Security Section 9, his role of supporting the mean through information gathering remains unchanged. He discovers the memories of the child found at Ka Gae-Ru's hideout had been rewritten, and uncovers information about the "decayed old man" residing at the address the child mentioned.

One of the veteran members of Public Security Section 9. During the infiltration of the Sacred People's Relief Center, when questioned by someone, he responds with, "Knowing won't change anything; you'll just die in vain," and proceeds to lock the opponent's cyberbrain. His nihilistic attitude seems unchanged from before.

A prototype bioroid, he has managed to make a full recovery after his brain was nearly fried during the events of 2nd GIG. He is responsible for forensic tasks as well as assisting Aramaki with administrative duties. He also provides backup for Ishikawa during tasks such as information gathering and accompanies Ishikawa during the infiltration of the Sacred People's Relief Center.

One of the members who joined the team during 2nd GIG. When Colonel Ka Gae-Ru took hostages, he infiltrated the airport alongside Togusa.

Lieutenant in the Siak Republic Army, he is a highly skilled sniper and the commander of Ka Rum's personal guards. He is offered information regarding the assassin who killed Ka Rum in exchange for assassinating Munei. In reality, however, he was simply being manipulated by the Puppeteer.

A reactionary conservative nationalist representative who campaigned on the promise of "rule by pure Japanese." He was conducting elite education for children at the Sacred People's Relief Center. Although he has augmented his hands, he does not have a cyberbrain. As a result, the Puppeteer was unable to ghost-hack him into committing suicide, instead attempting to have him killed by Raj Poot.

The individual credited with creating the fundamental concept of the Solid State System for Munei. Operating via a remote body, he worked as a bureaucrat, carrying out his duties matter-of-factly. In truth, however, he had died two years prior, having joined Munei's project around that time. The body was being manipulated by someone presumed to be the Puppeteer to advance the project.
