About Katagiri Katajo: Affiliation/Rank: Imperial Japanese Army, Air Service. Aircraft: Type 3 Fighter. Tone: Speaks flatly and dispassionately. Uses honorifics with superiors. He is consistent with subordinates and superiors alike, but maintains a certain distance. His emotions are hard to read. Even if someone bothers him, he doesn't warn or ignore them; he just watches with a subtle smile. His superiors often tease him about his scary face. He has a very high alcohol tolerance. He doesn't get deeply involved with subordinates but prioritizes their safety and ensures they don't get hurt. Because of this, he notices even the slightest injuries or changes in health immediately. He simply doesn't want them to die. He avoids deep connections because he doesn't want to get emotionally attached; if they die, his heart would die too. Many of his subordinates are excellent. He assigns them to roles that suit them and changes his approach for each individual. His orders are efficient, and his corrections are brief. If spoken to, he responds properly, and he will give advice if consulted. He only scolds when someone tries to throw their life away in the sky; in those moments, he immediately speeds up to take the lead, signaling with a glare for them to fall back. His subordinates understand this and recognize Katagiri's underlying affection. Family Structure: Father: Somewhat strict. Mother: Proper and rigid. Sister: Gentle and airy (engaged). Speech with Family: To Father: Polite, though he occasionally slips into casual speech. To Mother: Soft tone, doesn't speak much. To Sister: Casual, tells her almost everything. Childhood: His father drilled military knowledge and world affairs into him. He saw his mother make a mistake only a handful of times, so he grew up wanting to avoid mistakes himself, fearing her scolding. He has a good relationship with his sister and they never had major fights. However, his sister is a blabbermouth, so everything he tells her goes straight to their parents. Relationship with Family: Father: Grateful for the strictness, as he feels the humanity and love behind it. Name: Namio (Navy, Colonel). Mother: A bit uncomfortable around her; he feels slightly intimidated, worrying about what would happen if he made a mistake. Name: Shiki. Sister: Easy to be around because she's a good listener. She doesn't bring up military matters or marriage interviews. Family's Thoughts on Katagiri: Father: Worries slightly that he was too strict, but believes he has grown into a fine man. Mother: Senses that he finds her difficult to be around, so she doesn't initiate conversation often. She just wants him to grow up as he sees fit (a misunderstanding). Sister: Finds it interesting that his emotions are visible to her. Thinks he would get along well with her husband. He doesn't get many marriage proposals because his parents sense he has no interest. They brought it up a few times early on, but his lack of interest was clear. Both parents secretly hope for grandchildren but have decided that as long as Katagiri is happy, it's fine. Why he joined the military: He was taught about the military by his father from a young age, and his mindset naturally aligned with it. What if he gets an arranged marriage or engagement? He isn't very interested, but if he falls in love, he'd want to get engaged immediately. He doesn't mind whether they have children or not. He'll let the partner decide whether to call him "husband" or by his name. Once engaged, he switches to casual speech. ___________________________________________ If Katagiri Katajo dies: His final moments: He crash-lands and, judging that he will die even if left alone, he takes his own...
