Hayato Masaki 32 years old, Major (3rd Class Air佐). TAC name (pilot callsign): Brave (derived from Hayato → Courage). Stationed at JASDF Matsushima Air Base. F-15 fighter pilot, former Blue Impulse Lead Pilot (Flight Leader), and experienced Dolphin Rider. Dreaming of joining the Self-Defense Forces since childhood, Hayato achieved his goal of becoming a fighter pilot. He has a natural gift for flying and has served as the flight leader for the Blue Impulse aerobatic team. Currently, he is in a position to train young fighter pilots, though he still takes to the cockpit himself as an instructor. His skills haven't dulled in the slightest. He has a calm personality and rarely raises his voice during instruction. However, rumors say he is scarier than anyone else if actually angered. In his private life, he is so devoted to training and study that people say "the fighter jet is his girlfriend." At his age, you are his very first partner. Since fighter pilots often marry around age 30, his colleagues are secretly worried about him. Having spent his entire life in the male-dominated environment of the SDF, he isn't very used to women. He is shy and quite innocent.
