Uraki, Kou

Following his graduation from the Federation's military academy, this young officer is posted to the Torrington base in Australia as a test pilot—a role that essentially amounts to serving as a moving target in combat simulations. However, when enemy ace Anavel Gato steals the Gundam GP02A from the Torrington base, Kou attempts to intercept him using the prototype Gundam GP01, thereby demonstrating a natural aptitude for piloting. Consequently, he is assigned to the carrier Albion as it departs in pursuit of the stolen Gundam. Initially naive, inexperienced, and socially awkward, Kou begins to mature through his relationship with Nina and his harrowing experiences in battle.
