Description
Hiro Kitazoe operates as a Gunner in Kageura Squad, currently a B-rank Border agent with prior A-rank experience. He possesses light skin, short spiky hair, a hooked nose, and small round eyes. His frame is chubby yet muscular, and he stands at 189 cm, ranking among Border's tallest agents. His casual wear typically includes cargo pants, plain light-colored loose sweaters, and heavy padded jackets. His official Border uniform is a double-breasted black military jacket with five buttons, piped patch pockets on the right breast and abdomen, gray epaulettes, and the Kageura Squad collar logo, paired with light gray cargo pants and black combat boots.
Emotionally expressive and prone to tears, Kitazoe openly displays his feelings. He maintains a laid-back, level-headed demeanor in combat, even under pressure. Originally reserved and conflict-avoidant, he evolved into a more proactive and empathetic individual under teammate Kuruma's influence. He frequently expresses joy over squadmates' personal growth, like Kageura's motivation or Ema's relationships.
As a Gunner with high trion, Kitazoe specializes in independent scoring. His primary Trigger, Meteor, is a grenade launcher enabling high-angle parabolic bombardment without direct line of sight. His "Random Meteor" technique fires simultaneously at multiple targets, though accuracy drops without visual confirmation. His role focuses on area denial and battlefield disruption—destroying cover, flushing out opponents for Kageura, and creating escape routes. He also uses Asteroid via an assault rifle for mid-range and Shield for defense. His Border Briefing File parameters are: Trion: 9, Attack: 7, Defense/Support: 7, Mobility: 5, Skill: 7, Range: 6, Command: 4, Special Tactics: 3 (Total: 48). His size and low mobility are noted weaknesses.
Kitazoe displays strong tactical acumen, multitasking during battles—such as directing Ema and operator Hikari Nire while fighting. He exhibits quick thinking, countering blackouts by shooting light fixtures or preparing explosive rounds to support allies upon his imminent defeat. His analytical skills are evident in rank battle commentary.
He shares significant synergy with squad captain Masato Kageura, whose Side Effect prevents accidental hits from Kitazoe’s explosives. Kitazoe provides cover fire to facilitate Kageura’s close-range combat and expresses genuine happiness over his captain’s personal developments. He also supports sniper Yuzuru Ema during operations.
Outside combat, Kitazoe enjoys strawberries, spring rolls, donmono (rice-with-toppings), and mahjong. He holds a motorbike license and owns a motorcycle. The series’ author metaphorically describes him as "a lion who can gain weight" and a "lovable mascot."
