Remi Kakiyasu, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, commands authority at Gifu Airbase as the overseer of Dragon Pilot recruitment and training for the Organic Transformed Flyer program. Known for her strict, no-nonsense demeanor, she enforces unyielding discipline and relentlessly pushes subordinates to excel, particularly subjecting Hisone Amakasu to intensified scrutiny to extract her latent potential. Her career bears the scars of personal history: once a candidate to pilot the dragon Masotan, she faced rejection when the creature chose her colleague Moriyama, who later married Kakiyasu’s romantic interest. This dual loss cemented her resolve to remain in the JASDF, channeling her unresolved emotions into rigorously preparing new pilots. However, her hardened exterior begins to fracture through sustained interactions with Amakasu and the OTF squad, fostering a gradual shift toward a more collaborative leadership style that values camaraderie as much as competence. Kakiyasu’s duties also plunge her into the shadowy operations of the Ritual—a recurring ceremony that navigates the gargantuan dragon Mitatsu-sama to prevent apocalyptic devastation. Though her coordination with military leadership underscores allegiance to institutional goals, her evolving mentorship of the pilots hints at a personal stake in their growth and the ethical dilemmas woven into the program. The sting of Masotan’s rejection and her unrequited past linger beneath her exacting standards, driving her to forge recruits into resilient soldiers while quietly weaving empathy into her command—a balance honed by the very losses she strives to transcend.
