Nobuchika Ginoza

Ginoza is a male of taller than average height and a muscular build in his 30's. In Psycho-Pass, his hair is chin-length and grown out to partially cover his face. He wears corrective lenses despite having perfect vision because he says it will help to preserve his Psycho-Pass. In the final exchange between Ginoza and Masaoka, the older man tells him that his eyes look exactly like his own when he was the same age.

As an Inspector, he is an effective senior officer, capable of balancing the requirements of Chief Joshu Kasei and working efficiently with Division 01 personnel. He is an astute observer of human behavior and an excellent detective, but because he relies on data more than intuition, he comes off as somewhat rigid. This attitude also stems from his bitterness over Masaoka's latent criminal designation and demotion from Inspector to Enforcer while Ginoza is still a boy, shaping his view that Inspectors should not develop attachments to Enforcers since such ties will cloud one's own Psycho-Pass. Thus, he maintains his distance and considers the Enforcers to be "hounds" ‒ as they are called ‒ with himself as their "shepherd" ‒ as Inspectors are called.

Ginoza behaves in a contrary manner towards Masaoka, but also Shinya Kogami, his former colleague and childhood friend. His coolness stems from both men having once been detectives now demoted to Enforcers, which he sees as personal betrayals. Despite his loathing of Masaoka as an Enforcer, Ginoza still craves his approval as a father. Furthermore, Masaoka's faith in Kogami incites feelings of jealousy and inferiority even though Ginoza's skills are equivalent. PP0121 (26)

Masaoka to Ginoza: "You are my son, after all."

When Akane Tsunemori joins Division 01, he warns her against becoming friendly with the Enforcers, though she does so anyway, particularly with Kogami. Ironically, Ginoza fears that Tsunemori will also be subverted, though it is he who begins to stumble in his job performance. When his Hue begins to grow cloudy, he ignores advice to seek treatment and continues to focus on work. His complex emotions, combined with the pressures of the job and the burden of keeping his Psycho-Pass clear, wrack Ginoza with deep anxiety leading to emotional exhaustion. Personal Background Early Life

Born in Tokyo to Tomomi Masaoka and Sae Ginoza.

At the age of nine years, Masaoka is admitted to a rehab center due to a deteriorating Psycho-Pass. This fact contributes to Ginoza's subsequent loathing for latent criminals. He throws himself into his studies, especially of law and criminal justice, to escape the reality of having a latent criminal as a parent. He joins the MWPSB rather than other equally suitable occupations in the subconscious hope of reconnecting with his father.

During high school, Ginoza meets and is befriended by Shinya Kogami who saves him from being bullied by classmates.[4] The two, though different in personality, are both excellent students and enjoy studying and playing together. They soon become best friends and when Ginoza tells Kogami his future plans of becoming an Inspector, Kogami soon decides to do the same. Residence
