Witch Hunter Robin (ウィッチハンターロビン, Wicchi Hantā Robin?) The series follows a fictional Japanese branch of a secret global organization called "SOLOMON" or the "Solomon Toukatsu Nin'idantai" (roughly "Solomon Executive Organization"), abbreviated as "STN" or "STN-J". Solomon fights the “harmful use of witchcraft” using a database of witches, and tactics like institutional racism to push narratives and attacks which also includes those who have obtained the power of witchcraft through genetics and others who carry the gene (called "seeds") in order to arrest or eliminate them should their powers "awaken". The series focuses on one STN-J member, Robin Sena.
