This unnamed American pilot commands an Essex-class aircraft carrier battle group in the Pacific theater of World War II, appearing exclusively in the segment "Sonic Boom Squadron." He witnesses Ensign Nogami's kamikaze attack, where Nogami's Ohka aircraft crashes into the carrier's superstructure. Amid the bridge debris, the commander discovers a photograph of Nogami's girlfriend, personalizing the enemy pilot. Even as he experiences this conventional attack, he receives confirmation of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. This juxtaposition prompts his shocked rhetorical question: "are we all crazy?" He perishes moments later when the carrier explodes. His role serves to contrast Japanese and American wartime experiences while underscoring shared human tragedy.
