Shirota, Shirou

An army officer assigned as the Tactical Advisor to the Dai-Guard team. Initially, he is very strict regarding regulations and insists that civilians should not be permitted to handle the Heterodyne crisis. However, his interactions with the employees of Public Relations Division 2, particularly Akagi, cause him to change his views. He eventually becomes one of their biggest supporters within the army and often risks his own career to assist them.
