Sakuya Togane (東金 朔夜 Tougane Sakuya) is an Enforcer within Division 01 of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Public Safety Bureau and although it has been erased from the official documents, he possesses the highest crime coefficient on record.[1] He is a secondary antagonist of Psycho-Pass 2.
Appearance
Togane is a male of average height and a fit build in his 40's. He has gray eyes and long black hair whose bangs curl. He is typically seen wearing a black suit, white dress shirt and gray tie.[2][1]
Personality
He is a complex individual who appears to be consumed by his work. He is cool and calculating in his approach to all things and obsessive in his pursuits, as evidenced by his relentless collection of artifacts regarding Akane Tsunemori.[3][4] He idolizes his mother, Misako Togane, and often seems unwilling to leave her side.[5] As a subject of scientific research, he displays traits associated with sadism.[6]
Personal Background
- In 2073, Sakuya is "created" as part of an experiment by Misako Togane, who seeks to artificially create a criminally asymptomatic being. Her early attempts are failures, but Sakuya is announced to be a successful outcome despite the opposite being true.
- In June 2083, at age 10, he receives a health check by the Ministry of Welfare and it is discovered that his crime coefficient is 769, the highest ever recorded.[7]
- Misako conceals his past records in order to make him eligible for entry into the Public Safety Bureau, where he works under Joshu Kasei and herself (as members of the Sibyl System).
- During his tenure as Enforcer, several operations take place during which his supervisory Inspectors all experience a rise in their crime coefficients to read at over 300, licensing Togane to use his Dominator in Lethal Eliminator mode. These operations occur in October 2096, April 2097, February 2098, November 2098, and July 2099.[7]

Akane Tsunemori
At first, Togane appears to respect Tsunemori's beliefs and matches Shinya Kogami in attitude and body build. He even smokes Spinel cigarettes.[2] It is later learned that he obsesses over Tsunemori's clear hue and ever-low crime coefficient.[3][4] Over time, it is revealed that his goal is to darken Tsunemori's hue to black, just as he has done with other Inspectors.[4]
Misako Togane
Misako is Togane's mother whom he respects and to whom he is devoted, believing he must cloud Tsunemori's hue so Misako can shine brighter.
