Character Description: Tomomi Masaoka
The old man of Unit 1, Tomomi Masaoka was originally an Inspector in the MWPSB, until his frustrations with the Sibyl System and its absolute judgments caused his crime coefficient to rise to unacceptable levels, causing his demotion to Enforcer – as well as complicating his relationship with his superior – and son Nobuchika Ginoza. Still, he was able to gradually accept his position and become the team's unofficial leader. He has an artificial left hand, the result of some unspecified injury.
Masaoka likes to consider himself an old-fashioned detective, relying more on intuition and skill rather than the Sibyl System's facts. He tries to impress his experience and knowledge upon fellow Enforcer Shinya Kogami, as well as being a sort of mentor to his other superior, Akane Tsunemori.
