- Introduction
Katagiri Squad (片桐 隊, Katagiri-tai ?) is the A-rank #8 squad in Border. It is led by Takaaki Katagiri.
Members[edit | edit source]
Uniform[edit | edit source]
The squad uniform is a light colored side-buttoned coat with a high collar, and a black turtleneck underneath. The squad emblem is on the left breast, including both sides of the collar. This uniform is worn by all Katagiri Squad combatants.
Emblem[edit | edit source]
Their symbol is akin to a six-pronged stellar dendrite snowflake, complete with a bullseye in the center. This could be a reference to the origins of one of their squad member's given name.
