General is a high-ranking officer within the Imperial Army, holding the title of Shogun or General. He is an elderly man with white, ear-length hair, brown eyes, and a distinguished beard and mustache, and he is typically seen wearing his military cap and uniform.

His motivations are multifaceted, balancing personal desires with a genuine concern for national security. While he is privately depicted as being quite lecherous, particularly showing a strong interest in obtaining the technical data related to the Steel Angel named Karinka, he also takes his responsibilities for the nation's safety seriously. To this end, he has been known to deploy undercover agents, such as the spies Kichijoji Eigyou and Koganei Yoshino, to discreetly monitor and protect the main characters during their missions. Within the story's structure, he serves as a figure of authority who can direct other military-aligned characters, such as ordering the researcher Dr. Amagi to assist Ayanokouji Kurumi and her companions in resolving the central conflicts. His key relationships include those with the spies, whom he commands, and with Dr. Amagi, from whom he requests scientific aid. He does not possess any superhuman or supernatural abilities, but his power comes from his high military rank and his authority over the army's resources, technology, and personnel. His character remains fairly static, functioning as a consistent supporting presence who provides resources or orders from the military establishment without undergoing significant personal transformation throughout the narrative.
