Description
Bouma functions as Public Security Section 9's explosives specialist and cyberviral warfare expert. His duties encompass handling heavy weaponry, developing cybervirus countermeasures, and providing rear support during missions. He regularly partners with Saito for sniping tasks, Pazu for operational duties, and Ishikawa for cyberweb research and viral defense.

Physically, Bouma possesses a bald head and unique cybernetic optics, distinct in model and capability from other enhanced operatives such as Batou. During hierarchical operations like "Selecon," he is identified by the avatar designation 0906, marking his position within Section 9's structure.

Before joining Section 9, Bouma served as a demolitions expert in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, with a background suggesting potential combat engineering or special forces roles. This experience underpins his proficiency with explosives and tactical warfare. Series speculation implies he may have been a virgin at cyberization, a factor linked to his vulnerability to the Individual Eleven virus during the 2nd Gig.

In *Solid State Society* (2034), Bouma operates within Section 9's expanded 20-member team under Togusa's field command. He participates in operations like surveillance and suspect interception at Niihama International Airport alongside operatives including Pazu and Azuma. His cyberwarfare expertise remains critical to Section 9's investigations into complex incidents, such as those involving the hacker known as the Puppeteer.
