Satoshi Mizukami

"Hey, no way! We gotta keep this pace until Oki takes out Amatori!"

- Satoshi Mizukami to Tatsuhito Ikoma

Satoshi Mizukami is a B-rank Shooter and a member of Ikoma Squad.

Appearance
Mizukami is a tall, thin, light-skinned young man with a voluminous shock of messy, orange hair and small eyes with light-colored slit irises.

Mizukami's uniform is comprised of a vermillion, white-zipped jacket. A horizontal white line runs across the chest portion roughly at the height of his armpits, whereas on the back it bends into a flat V-shape pointing downwards, with an ornamental button right above the tip. On the right breast, the white line encircles Border's logo, above which is emblazoned the B-rank emblem. Everything above the white line is black in color, including the high collar, which Oki keeps open to reveal a round-collared undershirt; the only exception are the vermillion plain button epaulets. The sleeves are also black until roughly halfway through the humerus, after which they turn vermillion, and disappear into Mizukami's thick gloves about an inch past the elbow. The gloves are black with a gray palm and a thin brown buckle that encircles them near the cuff. The black portion of the sleeves and the collar bear a square motif that suggests padding. The uniform is completed by black pants with front and back pockets, gray-brown boots that reach halfway up Mizukami's calves, and a pair of rectangular goggles with protruding lenses and a vermillion strap which he keeps around his neck, facing frontward.

Personality
Like most of his teammates, Mizukami is laid-back, although he tends to be more aware and mindful of the circumstances of a rank war. Despite not being the captain, he is the de facto tactician of the squad, monitoring the state of the battle and assigning tasks to his teammates. On these and other occasions he may appear cold, surly, or querulous. However, it seems that the only shortcomings to get him fleetingly upset are his own.

In a provisional leadership position, he has been shown to consistently lie and deceive his teammates for the sake of team tactics; opposition is met with unabashed rebukes or a reaffirmation of his stance. This was met with many conflicting opinions from evaluators, some of whom determined the success of his strategy outweighed potential conflict down the line.
