■Atsushi Miyauchi’s Comment
"It is truly a profound honor to be part of the legendary 'Ghost in the Shell' series, a franchise that boasts a massive and dedicated global fanbase.
The character I play, Borma, is the silent professional of Public Security Section 9. He supports the team from the shadows through his expertise in explosive ordinance disposal and cyber intelligence gathering. While he may not often be at the center of the flashiest action, I went into the recording sessions focused on capturing his unique aura—that powerful presence he maintains even when he has very few words to say.
I hope you all immerse yourselves in the breathless cyber-battles and the rich human drama woven by the members of Section 9. I am confident that this is a work that will truly resonate with your 'Ghost'!
Please look forward to what's coming next!"
