The Laughing Man (笑い男, warai otoko) is a character in the fictional anime series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. He is an expert hacker who, in an age of cybernetics where people are directly wired into technology, can hack into other people, taking over their bodies or tricking their sensory input. The name is taken from the title of a short story by J. D. Salinger, The Laughing Man. The Laughing Man logo is an animated image of a goofy smile wearing a cap, with circling text quoting a line from Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye, which reads: "I'd thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes." Other references to Salinger's book The Catcher in the Rye, include the red cap that the real Laughing Man wears backwards. Another is his reference to "phonies", a term used frequently by Rye's Holden Caulfield. Lastly, when the major enters the Laughing Man's library near the end of the series, the camera zooms on her hand moving over the phrase "Fuck you" written on the railing. In The Catcher in the Rye, Holden says "You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write 'Fuck you' right under your nose." ...more on Wikipedia about "Laughing Man (Ghost in the Shell)"
