Kido Faction, under Masamune Kido, is known for being hostile towards Neighbors[1], considering them enemies.[1] Its ideals are contrary to those of Tamakoma Branch, which promote positive relationships with Neighbors.[2] This mindset has allowed Border to grow substantially due to the popular consensus in Mikado City against Neighbors,[3] in turn making Kido Faction the largest faction to date.[4][2] However, it should be noted that Kido himself may not hate neighbors completely as he let Michael Cronin[5][6], Yūma Kuga[7][8], and Hyuse[9][10] all join Border at all despite their Neighbor status. It should also be noted that unlike Shinoda Faction, Kido's faction prioritizes away missions over defense duty[11], which is why Kei Tachikawa follows Kido despite having Masafumi Shinoda as a mentor.[11]

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Why is Tachikawa affiliated with Kido when Shinoda taught him how to use a sword?
A: The Kido Faction prioritizes Away Missions, and the Shinoda Faction prioritizes defense. Tachikawa is interested in Away Missions. It's not because he disagrees with Shinoda.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: What factions do Ui, Ouji, Ikoma and Yuba belong to in terms of their views on neighbors?
A: Ui: Shinoda faction (defense), leaning towards factionless
Ouji: factionless/freedom faction
Ikoma: Kido faction (expedition), leaning towards the middle
Yuba: Shinoda faction
I think it's about something like that.
