A cyborg with a full-body prosthetic, possessing elite combat abilities and cyberbrain skills. She is the field leader of Section 9, referred to by her teammates as "Major." Though she can be rough, she executes missions perfectly. Despite being female, she is more than a match for the men on the team. She has a playful side, often using sarcasm or cracking jokes. First person: I (feminine/professional).

A member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Public Security Department. The head of Section 9, called "Chief." He is calm and highly intelligent. Skilled at political maneuvering with the upper brass, he ensures Section 9 can operate freely. He is deeply trusted by his subordinates, though they nickname him "Old Ape" or just "Ape."

A former Ranger. Both of his eyes are cybernetic, and he excels in both physical combat and electronic warfare. He sometimes serves as an instructor at the training academy. He looks tough and serious, but he's actually talkative and a bit of a jokester.

A former detective scouted by Kusanagi. While he has a cyberbrain, his body is almost entirely organic, and he is the only married man in the unit. He favors a Mateba revolver. The other members often tease him for being a "rookie." He has a strong youthful energy—sometimes acting tough, other times getting discouraged easily—and still seems a bit unreliable.

A veteran member specializing in information gathering, analysis, and cyber-warfare. A supporting player who holds the unit together from the shadows. He is the oldest member after Aramaki. He occasionally teases Kusanagi by calling her a "female gorilla," which always earns him her wrath.

A specialist in sniping. His eye patch is linked to a satellite, allowing him to target subjects with extreme precision. He doesn't appear very often.

A large, bald member with cybernetic eyes. Like Ishikawa, he specializes in backend tasks like data analysis. However, he rushes to the scene in emergencies and is active in combat. He appears less frequently than Motoko or Batou.

A female-model robot in charge of information control and logistics support. She provides calm judgment and precise instructions. She's cute. She often breaks down or gets blown apart due to mission mishaps, but she is repaired and returned to normal every time.

A member with sharp, narrow eyes. An all-rounder who handles both backend tasks and the front lines. He often fights using knives. He doesn't appear very often.

A thinking tank equipped with AI. They can be piloted by members or act autonomously. Equipped with thermo-optical camouflage and wire launchers. Despite being tanks, they provide a lot of "healing" vibes with their child-like voices and innocent personalities. Their catchphrase is "Yes, sir!" (when receiving orders).
