List of Darker Than Black Characters - Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications

Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications

In the Darker than Black world, the MIAC has a black ops division known as Section 3, created 2 years after the attack on the PANDORA institute to eliminate any individual/group with links to the Syndicate. Currently, its present location is unknown.

In addition to its mostly Contractor agents, Section 3 has a covert paramilitary commando force armed with small arms, such as the MP5 submachine gun, and tactical gear.

Gorō Kobayashi (小林 吾朗, Kobayashi Gorō?)

Voiced by: Ryūzaburō Ōtomo (Japanese), Jason Douglas (English)

Head of the 2nd Investigate Division of the MIAC's Statistics Bureau. However, the position is merely a cover as head of Section 3. After the United States invades Tokyo and takes over the Gate, Gorō goes underground with Misaki. He resembles Golgo 13 with glasses, revealing a quite muscular body under his clothes, and has the same rifle.

Genma Shizume (鎮目 弦馬, Shizume Genma?)

Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (Japanese), Newton Pittman (English)

A representative working for the Third Chief Clerk in the 2nd Investigative Division of the Statistics Bureau in the MIAC, as well as a Contractor. Despite his status as a contractor, Genma has a habit of saying some odd things, many of them implying he is a sexual deviant. He is shown to be fairly bumbling as well, as he is the only one who still believes Suo is Shion. His ability allows him to cover his body with whatever material he touches in order to form tank armour, taking from the object until he is sufficiently covered. His armored form enhances the power of his punches and protects him from bullets. His remuneration is to have moxibustion treatment each time his power is used. He uses traditional budō. It is later revealed that he is a double agent for the CIA, and is responsible for Yōko's death. He is killed by Mina who stabs him through the head with her sword.

Mina Hazuki (葉月 水無, Hazuki Mina?)

Voiced by: Mitsuki Saiga (Japanese), Kara Edwards (English)

A colleague of Genma's, Mina is a Contractor with the ability to charge any object with energy, which she uses to create potent projectiles from scraps and turn her sword into a "lightsaber". She also uses retractable wires similar to Hei's. Her remuneration is to passionately kiss a man, which she appears to dislike due to "bad aftertaste"; such is her distaste that with even two mouth washings, she resorts to kissing another woman to remove the taste, though she hints to having a lesbian interest in women. She seems to specialize in wetwork, wearing a half-faced balaclava and wielding a wooden katana (which she transforms using her ability). After killing Genma in revenge for Yōko's death, Mina disappears.

Yōko Sawasaki (沢崎 耀子, Sawasaki Yōko?)

Voiced by: Kozue Yoshizumi (Japanese), Tia Ballard (English)

A staff member of the MIAC team with Genma and Mina. She usually performs support duties such as driving them around or tapping radio communications. She is captured by Hei, who interrogates her for Yin's location. She is murdered by Genma by putting her through ME Squeezer and probably also by torturing her in the process, as her body is left severely beaten, unlike Pavlichenko's.

Michiru (ミチル?)

Voiced by: Marika Hayashi (Japanese), Elise Baughman (English)

An agent of Section 3. She was formerly a housewife to a local restaurant owner named Lebanon, who left him and their son Norio after turning to a Contractor by unknown means. She can manipulate a water source as a weapon and her remuneration is to bake cakes. She loses control of her powers in a battle with Suō, due to Yin's apparent interference, and dies drowning in a sphere of water.
