Actually, I always wondered about this. Togusa is explicitly said to have no cybernetic enhancements, being totally human. Aramaki is somewhat implied to be similar. However both of them are always jumping into cyber lobbies for meetings, having thought conversations with the rest of the team and going into autistic mode or whatever so they can't by cyber talked to. How the hell does Togusa keep doing these things that require at least minimal cyberization?

Also his use of a revolver is a little too on the nose.

They both have basically smartphones put in their heads, but they don't have direct ports and their physical bodies are still fully organic. In theory, if they get hacked their whole body isn't up for grabs like the rest of the team, just the add-on they use to join group-chats/surf data files which is why they're useful individuals in the division but have, theoretically, non-combat roles. He's also like, the only competent investigator on the team and the only one with a family so from a narrative perspective hes a great audience surrogate/anchor.

Edit: Plus he's gonna actually be able to retire in comfort unlike the rest of the squad in SAC since his wife's day-trade account has been taken over by the best money-making AI of all time.
