[b]Batou[/b] (バトー) is one of the main characters from [[Ghost in the Shell]].

Batou is the partner of and apparent second-in-command to Major [[Kusanagi Motoko]] of Public Security Section 9's counter-terrorist unit. He is also often paired with [[Togusa (gits)|]], acting as a mentor to the younger operative.

An ex-Ranger, he is a large, muscular [[cyborg]] with mechanical eyes; he has gray hair tied into a ponytail.

Batou's eye implants were inspired by the character of [[Molly Millions]] from the 80s [[cyberpunk]] novel [[Neuromancer]].
