Kugutsu Mawashi (傀儡廻 Mawashi Kugutsu?) is a fictional character in the anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Solid State Society, which is based upon the manga Ghost in the Shell created by Masamune Shirow.
In the film, Kugutsu Mawashi is the name of an entity responsible for controlling the remote body of Civil Servant Takaaki Koshiki. According to dialogue in Solid State Society,[1] Takaaki Koshiki died mysteriously at home from illness, but that his remote was subsequently involved in the conspiracy that was uncovered during the course of the film. The existence of a hidden Puppeteer was therefore theorised to have been responsible for Takaaki Koshiki's actions following his demise.
After distinguishing himself, Takaaki Koshiki got reassigned to the Health-Welfare joint project headed by Munei Ito. He secretly built his own infrastructure into the project sometime during its development.[1] This infrastructure abducted children at risk from their families and sheltered them with Old-Age Kifu, who would bequeath them their wealth upon death, before the children were finally brought to Munei's secret education facilities at the Seishomin Welfare Center.
Kugutsu Mawashi's role was also in using his hub-cyberbrain to crystallize the rhizome of the Old-Age Kifu that utilized the Healthcare network to become the Solid State Society.
Alternatively, it is suggested by Batou that Kugutsu Mawashi may have been the personification of the collective consciousness of the Old-Age Kifu.[1]
Finally, some fans think that Kugutsu Mawashi (傀儡廻) is Motoko Kusanagi's nemesis from before the stories depicted in Stand Alone Complex by Kenji Kamiyama.
