Iiboshi oversees the Organic Transformed Flyer (OTF) squad as a government supervisor, embodying bureaucratic authority over the dragon pilot program. A slick and callous strategist, he fixates on results, dismissing pilots’ emotional and psychological welfare. His priority is the Ritual—a cyclical event guiding the colossal dragon Mitatsu-sama to its throne every 74 years—viewing pilots as expendable tools for its completion.
He enforces the “White Lover” personality profile, mandating emotional detachment to preserve pilots’ bonds with their dragons. Surveillance and manipulation define his tactics: assessing relationship statuses, coercing Liliko Kinutsugai to spy on peers, and eliminating romantic attachments. He operates under the belief that human connections weaken pilots, fearing dragons will reject those emotionally tied to others.
The Ritual’s execution requires 148.5 billion yen and covert planning, including remote island training to prepare pilots for guiding Mitatsu-sama. Iiboshi collaborates with military and government officials to conceal the operation’s true scale, as deviation risks catastrophic destruction. His ruthless efficiency masks a minor vulnerability—a penchant for sweets—contrasting his rigid demeanor.
During the Ritual’s climax, his adherence to tradition clashes with pilots attempting to avert casualties. Insisting on potential shrine maiden sacrifice, his rigid protocols falter when the mission succeeds without bloodshed. Though undermined, his influence over the program persists.
His background beyond governmental duties and activities outside the main series remain undocumented.
