Rokurō Wakamura

"It took you only half a year to become Master Class. While I spent two years working hard and even asked Inukai to teach me. And I still can't reach you! But... you can get there without even training. So why don't you take this more seriously?!"

- Rokurō Wakamura to Yōko Katori

Rokurō Wakamura is a B-rank Gunner and member of Katori Squad.

Appearance
Wakamura is a light-skinned, bespectacled teenager of average height and build. He has messy, platinum blonde hair parted along the middle gathered in uneven locks. After the match against Tamakoma Second he was seen wearing a light cardigan over a black tee with a V-neck and white trousers.

His uniform consists of a black undershirt with a high, stiff neck, over which Wakamura wears a purple jacket with long sleeves that terminate in gloves with one black dot on each knuckle. The jacket also has a high neck (though not as high as the undershirt's), black shoulder pads, white lining, and short straps on his hips. Decorating the undershirt are three red vertical lines starting at the top of the collar and reaching down to the waist, each tapering off into a point, and six silver ornamental buttons, arranged in two columns of three on his chest. Two similar buttons can be found on each of his sleeves, and two more on his hips. The uniform is completed by purple trousers merged to boots with black soles.

Personality
Wakamura is high-strung, competitive, and very outspoken. This combination of traits may cause him to insult his opponents, but much more frequently it causes attrition with Yōko Katori. Part of his frustration is due to his own feelings of insecurity, caused by his failure to reach Master Class after two years of hard training even with Sumiharu Inukai's tutelage. It is stark contrast to his teammate's combative ease, which upsets him.

In a leadership position, his insecurities are multiplied — further amplified by his existing habit of spacing out while overthinking. The thought of receiving such heightened responsibility alone is shocking to him.

Trivia

 * Wakamura likes egg sandwiches, chicken, and watching Somei study.
 * Kazuaki Ōji's nickname for Wakamura, "Jackson" (ジャクソン), is presumably a play on words based on the English name "Jackson" and an alternate reading of the kanji in Wakamura's surname, which in different contexts can be read as Jaku and Son.
 * "Jackson" is Ōji's least popular nickname.
 * The foreign origin of his nickname creates a motif that he shares with Katori and Miura.
