Anchovy, born Chiyomi Anzai, commands the Sensha-dō team at Anzio Girls High School. Hailing from Toyota, Aichi, she joined Anzio after being scouted. Discovering the club in decline, she assumed leadership to rebuild it, winning the trust of her underclassman-heavy team who affectionately call her "Duce" or "Big Sister." Her birthday is September 23rd, matching the 1943 founding date of the Italian Social Republic. Standing 156 cm tall, she possesses long pale green hair typically styled in twin ponytails secured with black ribbons. She sometimes wears glasses and alters her hairstyle to move anonymously at school. In Sensha-dō matches, she wears a distinctive Italian WWII-inspired military uniform with a crop, while her standard school attire includes a white shirt, black skirt, tie, and a unique black mantle. Her personality varies across portrayals. Manga depictions like *Ribbon Warrior* and *Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu!* show her as hot-blooded, arrogant, and intensely focused on victory, initially criticizing opponents like Miho Nishizumi for prioritizing teammates over winning. However, she accepts responsibility for defeat rather than blaming her team. Animated works like the Anzio OVA and *Der Film* present her as determined and self-assured yet also more courteous, sporting, and fair. She upholds Anzio's tradition of hosting pre- and post-match parties, viewing them as integral to Sensha-dō. She demonstrates resilience after setbacks and susceptibility to peer pressure, such as eating carrots despite disliking them. Ironically, despite her fish-themed nickname (coined by teammate Pepperoni from "Anzai Chiyomi"), she is not a strong swimmer. As a tactician, Anchovy relies heavily on ambushes and deception, necessitated by Anzio's limited tank fleet of primarily Italian CV.33 tankettes, supplemented by a P40 heavy tank and a Semovente da 75/18 self-propelled gun. Her intricate plans often falter under pressure or due to her team's impulsive tendencies, like their preoccupation with food. In *Der Film*, she supports Ōarai against the university team, devising "Operation Three Cheese Pizza," a three-pronged attack. Her team provides reconnaissance and joins combined assaults, though equipment limitations hinder their effectiveness. She maintains friendly relations with other schools, notably inviting Ōarai to dinner and supporting them in critical matches. She dislikes being called by her real name and has a younger brother. Her favorite tank is the P40, her favorite food is cheese pizza, and her favorite flower is the daisy.
