Kōtarō Suwa (諏訪 洸太郎, Suwa Kōtarō ?) is a B-rank Gunner and the captain of Suwa Squad.
Appearance[edit | edit source]

Suwa is a light-skinned, young man of average build. He has medium-length, messy hair dyed blonde, shaved on the sides and back of his head, and short sideburns. He has black eyes with small pupils. One of his causal outfits includes a zipped, camo jacket with a high collar over a dark, long-sleeved shirt.[7]
His Squad's uniform is composed of an olive green jacket with black lines around the hem, zipper, and high collar, including white ones running along the outer side of the sleeves and around the middle of the collar. There are two piped patch pockets closed by the same flap on each breast, and the B-rank logo is emblazoned above the left one while Border's is located on the outer side of both sleeves a little below the shoulders. The uniform also includes headphones that Suwa wears around his neck, a dark red undershirt with a V-neck, grey pants, a black belt with a dark grey pocket on the left side, and dark grey boots with black spats. In his Trion Body Suwa is always seen with a cigarette in his mouth, except for.
Personality[edit | edit source]
Suwa is loud, with a bombastic personality that often reacts explosively. He is vulgar and assertive, but very approachable and quick to warm up to without pretenses. When in combat, he has a tendency to be reckless[6] and enjoys teasing opponents by riling them up, as he did with Enedora.[8] He has a cigarette in his trion body to show off.[9]
In a leadership position away from his usual teammates, however, he assumes a mentor-like persona — going out of his way to reassure Osamu during lights-out about his prospects for the Away Mission Test. Unlike his previous depictions, Suwa is shown to be more composed, handling new developments and on-the-spot decisions with a level head;[10] defeats are followed by matter-of-fact assessments.[11][12]

Daisuke Ashihara: It’s to show off. Since there have been no depictions of ashtrays, there is also the possibility that it might not actually be a cigarette.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Is there anyone of 18 and above who has a driver’s license for a car or a bike? A: Aside from Reiji who has already driven in the story, it seems Fuyushima, Azuma, Suwa, Tsutsumi, Kako, and Kakizaki have normal driver’s licenses. The top brass and Sawamura have licenses too. Tachikawa doesn’t as you might expect. Zoe has a motorbike license, and Kage and Tōma have motorized bicycle licenses. It seems Arafune and Hokari want motorbike licenses too.
