The primary protagonist of the shooting game Ikaruga.
A soldier who fought against the Horai empire to the point of suicide, he was shot down over the ikaruga village, where he was pulled free of the wreckage of his self-made hitekkai and nursed back to health by the elderly residents. After he had recovered, they brought him to see their secret project - the Ikaruga - and gave it to him to pilot in a final counterassault against the empire for the sake of freedom.
