SHINOBU NAGUMO

The professional captain of Section 2's Division 1, Shinobu is what the organization probably imagined a Labor unit commander should look like before Goto and his collection of disasters showed up. She is disciplined, respected and much more attentive to procedure than Goto, but she is not blindly obedient to bureaucracy and will challenge orders she considers unreasonable. Her dry reactions to Division 2's latest catastrophe are part of the show's rhythm, while her mutual respect with Goto reveals how often the two commanders reach the same destination by very different routes.
