Masato Kageura

Due to his inherent "Emotion Reception" Side Effect, any negative emotions or malice directed at him manifest as physical prickling sensations on his skin. This constant discomfort has inevitably shaped his exceptionally irritable and unapproachable demeanor. His notorious short temper even cost his squad their prestigious A-rank status after he forcefully punched a Border executive out of sheer frustration over false promises. However, beneath this aggressive, "mad dog" exterior lies a deeply loyal and caring individual who fiercely protects his squadmates. He shows a surprisingly warm and brotherly side to those who genuinely understand him, such as Yuma Kuga, whose pure intentions and lack of malice offer him rare peace of mind. Coming from a family that runs an okonomiyaki restaurant, he possesses a grounded, down-to-earth charm that sharply contrasts with his ferocious, highly unpredictable dual-Scorpion combat style on the battlefield.
