Tarou

タロウ

An 11-year-old boy, roughly Lain's age, who occasionally assists the Knights in uncovering "the one truth." He is not yet a member and remains ignorant of their complete motives. Taro is fond of virtual reality video games and spends his days at the Cyberia nightclub with his friends, Myu-Myu and Masayuki. Michael Tribett has characterized him as a "techno punk teenager," and he utilizes specialized gear like custom HandiNavis and video goggles. Taro values his online anonymity and proposes a date with Lain's Wired persona in return for information.
