Kouichirou Marito

A seasoned lieutenant of the Clydesdale Platoon, this resilient soldier carries the heavy psychological scars of the first Earth-Mars War. After being forced to execute his best friend, John Humery, during a devastating defeat, he struggles with intense PTSD and self-reproach. Though he appears as a sarcastic, carefree instructor at Shin-awara High School who frequently avoids his duties, his immense Kataphrakt piloting expertise remains undeniable despite his outward lack of professionalism.
