Dr. Ashimori serves as Setoros supervisor and has access to confidential data. However, her role beyond that remains unclear, along with her motives for sending him to investigate the Time of Eve cafe. In the movie, she is seen performing various actions such as attacking an android with a pipe, visiting the Sakisaka family, and arguing with Shiotsuki. On her desk, there is a book titled Android Promotion Committee which could suggest that this committee may be counter to the Ethics Committee. Although it was never confirmed, the portrayal of the information implies that both Dr Ashimori and Setoro work for this committee.
