Kunugi, Jin

功刀仁

Colonel Kunugi serves as the Commander of TERRA. He is a man tormented by his history; during the First Mu War, he bore direct responsibility for the death of his daughter. His wife subsequently divorced him.
Kunugi is unusually amiable toward his subordinates and shows tolerance toward Ayato; he maintains friendships with numerous influential figures within the RahXephon project, including the Professor. He also regards Quon as a sort of surrogate daughter. Nevertheless, his past deeds drive him to pursue redemption, and he is determined not to repeat his errors.
