Yōko Katori

"My grades are pretty good even if I don't study. [...] That's because I'm a genius."

- Yōko Katori about her abilities.

Yōko Katori (香取 葉子) is the captain of Katori Unit and an All-Rounder.

Appearance
Yōko is a girl with medium-length magenta hair with bangs, and green eyes.

Personality
Yōko is a lazy and easily frustrated girl. She believes that where her talent takes her is the farthest extent that can be reached and any additional work is meaningless. After her squad lost against Nasu Squad, she became apathetic to regaining their position in Upper B-Rank, citing that if they lose then that is the way things are meant to be. When faced with criticism from her teammate Wakamura, she lashes out immediately and plays her superiority against him as a reason to why she doesn't need to work hard for the team.

Yōko's frustration is most notably shown during the round 5 match where she easily fell prey to Osamu's spider tactics; her anger peaked when learning Osamu's reasons for pursuing the expedition, which she considered simple and heroic. After the match it is revealed that her frustration and laziness stems from her inability to properly work hard and study.

Despite her overly apparent negative qualities, it is shown that Katori can be quite formidable and quick thinking in combat. Yōko is also shown to be a caring friend as seen through her relationship with Hana Somei. Hana is possibly the main reason why Yōko joined Border in the first place as she saved her life during the first invasion.

Hana Somei
Hana is Yōko's childhood friend and next door neighbor. She would often come to Yōko's house only to find her playing games. When Hana was prohibited from visiting Yōko, Yōkos witched her bedroom with her brother, since his bedroom faced Hana's bedroom, and opened a window in the wall so they could talk, although she said she only wanted to organize her room. After learning that Hana saved her instead of her own parents, and learning from Hana that she planned to join Border, Yōko decided to join with her. Hana is usually the peacemaker to Yōko and Rokuro's fights, coldly scolding them at such moments.

Rokurō Wakamura
Yōko and Rokuro are often at odds due to their different views.
