–Kotarō Tomoe to Kuniharu Kakizaki, in Chapter 142.[1] | ||
Kotarō Tomoe (巴 虎太郎, Tomoe Kotarō ?) is a B-rank Gunner and a member of Kakizaki Squad.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Tomoe is a light-skinned teenager of average build. He has neck-length ash blond hair[5] (sandy in the anime)[6] with two bangs framing the sides of his face, and a small tuft of hair on his nape pointing outwards. He has big, almond-shaped eyes with narrow black irises. His uniform consists in a high-collared, zipped jacket in a bright persimmon color with matching headphones, a black undershirt, boots and dark brown pants[3] (gray in the anime).[6]
Personality[edit | edit source]
Tomoe is very disciplined and focused in combat and while preparing for matches. He is known to be respectful of his elders and well-behaved.[5] He was deeply impressed with Tamakoma Second's goal of making the next away team[7] as well as with Hyuse's swordsmanship,[4][8][9] later congratulating him[10] despite the crushing defeats suffered at his hands.[11]
Quotes[edit | edit source]
- (To Madoka Ui) "Sorry, I couldn't tell what was going on, and then I lost."[12]
- (To Kuniharu Kakizaki) "I joined up because I thought you were cool."[1]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- He likes hashed meat and rice, watermelons, and manga.[3]
- When he joined, he was the youngest agent as well as the first elementary school student to be accepted into Border.[13]
- He is the only combatant in his Squad not to be an All-Rounder,[14] his position as a Gunner suggesting that it is because he lacks enough points with Kogetsu.
- The author described Tomoe as a riajū (リア充), a pejorative term for someone who lives a happy and fulfilling life, on account of his being doted on by his senpai and especially by his Squad's Operator Ui.[5]
- This makes Tomoe the second riajū of Kakizaki Squad, the other being his captain.[5]
- Ashihara also insinuated that Tomoe's hairstyle might be inspired by Yūichi Jin's.[5]
