Dr. Ashimori

芦森博士

Dr. Ashimori serves as Setoro's supervisor. She is an influential figure with access to protected information and is not a member of the Ethics Committee. Beyond that, her specific role remains unclear, as do her motives for sending Setoro to investigate the Time of Eve cafe.
In the film, Dr. Ashimori appears at various points, further raising questions about her purpose. She is seen striking an android with a pipe, visiting the Sakisaka family, and arguing with Shiotsuki.
On her desk lies a book titled Android Promotion Committee, which may represent a counterforce to the Ethics Committee. Although this was never confirmed, the way this information is portrayed could indicate that this is indeed the committee where both Dr. Ashimori and Setoro are employed.
