Trivia
- His ID is 00475-ACTR-16023-1.[2]
- Production discrepancy: while in the anime Kanehara is said to be born in 2090, 2089 is what is written in the Official Profiling Book.
- In the novel version, Kanehara is a drug dealer.
- The name of the floppy disk he uses to override the drone's functions is, "Johnny Mnemonic", a reference to a William Gibson story of the same name. Gibson is widely credited with pioneering the cyberpunk genre to which Psycho-Pass belongs. A film adaptation was made of this story in 1995 starring Keanu Reeves.
