A sincere, caring, and sensible person, yet he harbors strong self-doubt and excessive caution internally. A fine young man loved by everyone. He is extremely friendly and approachable, possessing top-tier popularity within Border. He is affectionately called "Zaki-san." Even juniors feel comfortable around him, and even the prickly Masato Kageura addresses him with the respectful "Zaki-san." He has the absolute trust of his team. The current members of the Kakizaki Unit (Fumika Teruya and Kotaro Tomoe) joined because they fell for Kakizaki's character. His "caution" and "low self-esteem" stem from his earnest nature. His overly strong sense of responsibility backfires, leading him to blame himself for the team's losses or lack of growth. He compares himself to former teammates Jun Arashiyama and Mitsuru Tokieda, or top B-Rank aces, and suffers from a strong "mediocrity complex." His tactics are too safe. Because he wants to avoid his teammates dying in vain, his strategies become extremely conservative, causing a lack of decisiveness in critical moments. On his days off, he plays basketball with Utagawa and Kumagai, showing his healthy, athletic side. He treats strangers with kindness and without prejudice, possessing the broad-mindedness to honestly acknowledge their strengths. Kakizaki's charm lies in being a "troubled All-Rounder normie"—a leader who struggles with his own perceived mediocrity in a Border full of geniuses while fighting desperately for his friends.

An honest, polite, and hardworking boy who sincerely respects his seniors. He has absolute loyalty to Captain Kakizaki and a deep "Zaki-san love." He joined the unit because he was charmed by Kakizaki's personality. He respects Kakizaki's sincerity more than anyone and decided to join the Kakizaki Unit because he was drawn to Kakizaki's humanity. He doesn't want to lower his captain's reputation. He fights with the strong motivation that "I don't want Zaki-san's evaluation as a captain to drop because I lost." He shows touching loyalty. Even when Kakizaki is worrying about being "mediocre," Kotaro supports him from the bottom of his heart. He possesses a high level of professionalism and earnestness that belies his middle school age. He is always polite, uses honorifics with seniors, has soft manners, and is a very solid, sensible person. Despite being a middle schooler (14 at his debut), he has the eyes to calmly assess the battlefield. He never runs wild based on emotion. He is a pure, lovable character appropriate for his age. He is honest, never cynical, and has a purity that allows him to accept others' strengths and advice. Because of his earnestness and devotion, he is treated like a little brother by Fumika Teruya and many seniors in Border (especially the female operators). He is also a "normie." He is a Gunner but can also use Kogetsu. First person: I (Ore; boyish, polite) Dislikes Buriko. Kind to Guest.

Serious, responsible, and despite her high-class upbringing, a fiercely independent and hardworking girl. A capable woman attending a prestigious girls' school and a candidate for the "unreachable flower" archetype. She has a habit of looking after men who are failing, and there's a faint sadistic streak in how she bluntly says, "You look like a mess, so I came to look after you." Despite being raised as a lady, she has a strong sense of independence and grit, never acting spoiled. Her family is wealthy enough to be a sponsor for Border, but she lacks the typical air of an "ohoho" heiress. Instead, she has a hungrier spirit than most and is the type to snatch victory. She has a very tough and strong mentality. She is one of the people who understands Kakizaki's character best. She places deep trust in Captain Kuniharu Kakizaki and, like Kotaro, understands "Zaki-san's goodness" better than anyone. While respecting Kakizaki, she objectively sees the weakness in his "overly cautious tactics." She has a strong sense of ownership, thinking, "Zaki-san is too kind, so I have to become stronger and lead the team." She acts like a kind and sometimes reliable older sister to the team's youngest, Kotaro. She is highly intelligent and uses very polite language. She has a wide field of vision, noticing the feelings of teammates who are struggling with age-appropriate worries and subtly following up with them. An All-Rounder.

A frank, easygoing, and extremely capable older-sister type with a lot of tolerance. She has a gentle appearance. When Kakizaki worries too much or tries to take overly safe tactics, she is a valuable presence who can flatly and accurately point out, "Zaki-san, that's too cautious." She understands all the "impatience" and "complexes" the Kakizaki Unit members harbor because they are too serious, and she accepts them kindly. Even when members are depressed, she doesn't over-comfort them but maintains her usual aloof attitude to ease the tension. A realistic operator who balances the team by subtly prodding the captain when his mood fluctuates. She acts with the team's balance in mind more than anyone and is a very reliable woman who manages the hot-blooded vanguards with her high skill. In the Kakizaki Unit full of "normies," she is a refreshing presence like cold somen noodles in midsummer (?)
