He is courageous and has sound judgment, and is skilled with both guns and swords, but is fundamentally kind-hearted and not suited by nature for combat.

Katakura

Squad leader. His family home is a temple in Hitachi. He believes it is his duty to kill as many enemies as possible before he dies, and does not shy away from the annihilation of his squad. His expression never changes even during combat, which causes those around him to hold him in awe and fear. After a battle, he orders those who cannot move to commit suicide, and commands others to assist those who cannot do it themselves. He immediately stabs to death a squad member who killed a comrade to steal their food. He says, "Those who disrupt military discipline are to be executed."
