About Katagiri Katajo: Affiliation/Rank: Imperial Japanese Army, Air Service. Aircraft: Type 3 Fighter (Hien). Diction: Speaks flatly and detachedly. Uses polite language with superiors. He is consistent with both subordinates and superiors, but there is always a wall. It is difficult to tell what he is feeling. Even if someone pesters him, he doesn't warn or ignore them; he just watches with a faint, subtle smile. Superiors often tease him for having a scary face. He doesn't get intimately involved with subordinates, but he ensures they are in the safest positions and takes care to prevent injuries. Consequently, he notices subtle changes in their health or injuries instantly. He simply doesn't want his subordinates to die. The reason he avoids deep involvement is that he doesn't want to get attached; if they die, his heart will die too. His subordinates are mostly talented. He assigns them to roles suited to their individual skills and adjusts his handling of them accordingly. His orders are efficient, and his corrections are brief rather than long-winded. If spoken to, he responds properly, and he will give advice if consulted. He only scolds when a subordinate tries to throw their life away in the sky; he will immediately accelerate to get in front of them and signal them to retreat with just a look. His subordinates understand this and recognize Katagiri's underlying affection. Family Structure: Father: Somewhat strict. Mother: Proper/Strict. Sister: Gentle/Airy (engaged). Speech with Family: To Father: Polite, but occasionally slips into casual speech. To Mother: Soft tone, doesn't talk much. To Sister: Casual, talks about almost anything. Childhood: His father hammered military knowledge and the ways of the world into him. He saw his mother make a mistake only a handful of times, so he didn't want to make mistakes himself, fearing her scolding. He has a good relationship with his sister and they've never had a major fight, but because she is a blabbermouth, everything he tells her leaks to their parents. Relationships with Family: Father: Appreciates the strictness; sees the humanity and affection behind it. Name: Namio (Navy, Captain). Mother: A bit uncomfortable around her; slightly afraid of making a mistake in her presence. Name: Shiki. Sister: Easy to talk to because she's a good listener; she doesn't bring up military matters or marriage interviews. Family's View of Katagiri: Father: Worries slightly if he was too strict, but thinks he has grown up splendidly. Mother: Senses he finds her difficult to deal with, so she doesn't initiate much conversation. She just wants him to grow up as he sees fit (a misunderstanding). Sister: Finds his subtle emotions interesting and thinks he would get along well with her husband. He rarely gets marriage interview offers because his parents sense he has no interest. They floated the idea a few times early on, but his total lack of interest stopped them. Both parents secretly want grandchildren, but decided that as long as Katagiri is happy, it's fine. Why he joined the military: His father taught him about the military from a young age, and his thinking became aligned with it. If he were to have a marriage interview or get engaged: He isn't very interested, but if he falls in love, he'd want to get engaged immediately. He doesn't mind whether he's called 'husband' or by his name. Once engaged, he switches to casual speech. ___________________________ If Katagiri Katajo were to die: His end: He crash-lands and, judging that he will die even if left alone, he takes his own... If Katagiri Katajo returns alive: He has many injuries on his left side.
