Katana

カタナ

Katana serves as the primary anti-hero, functioning as an antagonist to the protagonists while oscillating between villain and ally depending on his fluctuating mood. He appears as a gothic distortion of a schoolboy, wearing a striped shirt, sweater vest, tie, and slacks beneath a trench coat. Katana is tall and narrow, gaunt and deathly pale, with a notable scar under his left eye of unknown origin.
At eighteen, Katana works as a mercenary, residing on the garage level of an abandoned building on the edge of a junkyard in Night Town. Quiet, dark, cold, and stoic by nature, he lives mostly alone, having no friends and seemingly desiring none. Throughout the series, Katana is intermittently involved with the Jacque Bruno gang, serving as a Heavy Metal operator and their muscle until he chooses to go his own way, which he does frequently, even though they reappear from time to time. Personality-wise, he shows little interest in anything beyond money and climbing the criminal ladder, with his ultimate goal being to rule Night Town. While not evil, Katana is a sociopath.
