Purin Ezaki (江崎プリン Ezaki Purin) is a post-human and the newest recruit of Public Security Section 9 in Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045. She is a certified genius with a doctorate from MIT, and is placed in charge of Tachikoma maintenance after Section 9 is formally reinstated in 2045 to investigate the Post-human phenomenon. She is known to have a peculiar attraction towards Batou, which is later expanded upon in the second season.

Background

Purin is an accomplished genius with a doctorate from MIT. Early in her childhood, her family was killed by Marco Amoretti, leaving her the only survivor. She was placed into witness protection by Batou and changed her name while being adopted by a Japanese family. Her early interactions with Batou greatly influenced her, motivating her to join Section 9, skip many grades, and graduate from MIT as a teenager.

Shortly after her family's death, she began backing up her memories in a secret server base.

Sometime between her graduation and her recruitment into Section 9, she's infected by the rogue American Empire 1A84, turning her into a Post-human. This grants her superhuman hacking abilities, reflexes, and body control. Still, unlike other post-humans, the change has little to no effect on her personality or life motivations, as her main goal remains to join Section 9 and reunite with Batou.

Abilities

As a post-human, Purin Ezaki has extremely powerful cyberbrain hacking abilities, allowing her to face off against other post-humans such as Takashi Shimamura and Suzuka Mizukane. The post-human transformation also grants her superhuman reflexes and enhanced control of her own body, allowing her to dodge automatic gunfire and granting her superior hand-to-hand combat skills

Appearance

Purin is a young girl with short pink hair and light-purple eyes, who also wears glasses. Her leggings are purple and her boots, reaching over her ankles, are black. On special occasions, she would wear the red Section 9 technician uniform.

Trivia

• The name Purin means Pudding in Japanese.
• She was murdered by accident, although she vocally told Armaki she just saved him; the prime minister's security fatally shot her anyway. Some viewers have criticized this scene for being overly melodramatic.
• The Major set up her resurrection as a full-body Android and altered her memories to forget the entire series to erase her guilt of helping try to set up a fake peace.
