An unlocking actuator for automatic unlocking of vehicle seat and manual unlocking of vehicle seat. Rotary torque generated by an electric motor in order to unlock a vehicle seat is transmitted to a rotary gear which is thereby rotated. A substantially sectorial insertion hole is formed in a pulley along the rotational direction and an abutting surface is formed on one end side of the insertion hole. A first inner cable has one end fixed to a first groove for winding formed in the outer circumferential part of the pulley and wound in the first groove for winding, and the other end connected with an unlocking mechanism. A second inner cable has one end fitted idly in a second groove for winding formed in the outer circumferential part of the pulley and wound in the second groove for winding, and the other end connected with an unlocking operation rod.
