Kotarō Tomoe (巴 虎太郎, Tomoe Kotarō ?) is a B-rank Gunner and a member of Kakizaki Squad.
Appearance[]
Tomoe is a light-skinned teenager of average build. He has neck-length ash blond hair[3] (sandy in the anime)[4] 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[5] (gray in the anime).[4]
Personality[]
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.[3] He was deeply impressed with Tamakoma Second's goal of making the next away team[6] as well as with Hyuse's swordsmanship,[2][7][8] later congratulating him[9] despite the crushing defeats suffered at his hands.[10]
Quotes[]
- (To Madoka Ui) "Sorry, I couldn't tell what was going on, and then I lost."[11]
- (To Kuniharu Kakizaki) "I joined up because I thought you were cool."[1]
Trivia[]
- He likes hashed meat and rice, watermelons, and manga.[5]
- When he joined, he was the youngest agent as well as the first elementary school student to be accepted into Border.[12]
- He is the only combatant in his Squad not to be an All-Rounder,[13] 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.[3]
- This makes Tomoe the second riajū of Kakizaki Squad, the other being his captain.[3]
- Ashihara also insinuated that Tomoe's hairstyle might be inspired by Yūichi Jin's.[3]
