Kuroto Mogari is the head of the number one IT venture company Sysnet. He approves of SIRRUT's goals and their mission to expose the truth to the world using the internet as a platform, and so he lends them his support. He has some sort of history with Fumito, which resulting in him becoming a cripple, and he sees Fumito as a personal enemy.

The other new characters are mostly just SIRRUT members, ranging from net journalists to hackers and so on. Just young people trying to rebel against the system and make a difference.

Kutou (the guy with the tattoo on his neck) is the head of the Tower's task force unit. His family has been tasked with protecting the Festival from enemies who oppose it by Fumito's family for generations. Fumito has enhanced him using magic, and he is well trained in hand to hand combat as well as deadly weapons ranging from swords to guns.

Yuuka is returns as Fumito's aide in the movie, continuing her desire to rise in the political circles in Japan.



Interesting note about the names, considering the emphasis the show put on the meaning behind fake names in the series:

Fumito Nanahara = Fumito can be taken to mean a person of the pen, who is better with words and writing/planning than direct action. Nanahara is seven fields, which might refer to the fact that the company backing his operations is called Seventh Heaven.

Kuroto Mogari = Kuroto can be taken to mean a person of wealth and possessions. Either one who controls a lot of wealth and power, or one who desires such. Mogari refers to the mourning of the dead. Is this his real name? Or one he has taken on to "mourn" the loss of people Fumito has taken away from him in the past?

Kutou = Nine heads. Could be a reference to the hydra, maybe a hint as to his true nature? Could he transform into such a beast in the movie? It's possible imo.


Hope that helps.


Edit: I should add that Fumito and Kuroto could easily be brothers if the story does want to go in that direction. In Asian culture, it is very common for parents to name their children with a sort of pattern. Both Fumito and Kuroto sharing a character in their given names would fit that pattern nicely.
