Kodai, Susumu

古代進

A young orphan, he was driven to follow his older brother Mamoru's example and join the Earth Defence Force by the death of his parents during a Gamilus planet bomb attack on the Miura Peninsula. Initially hot-headed and prone to anger, he at first blames Captain Okita for his brother's death in battle. However, he matures during the first season due to his responsibility as the Yamato's battle chief, and Okita ultimately nominates him as acting captain when he is unable to continue. Although apparently never formally promoted to captain, Kodai continues to command the Yamato and its crew for most of the rest of the franchise, relinquishing command only twice: to Yamanami in Be Forever Yamato, and to a revived Okita during Final Yamato. He is also a talented pilot, flying his own Cosmo Zero fighter as the leader of the Black Tigers, and frequently joining the Cosmo Tigers in battle during the second season.
His Japanese given name means "to go forward, to improve."
