Commander Shozo Tadokoro oversees the Pharos military facility under Novumundus, commanding strategic operations to protect Kamogawa and direct deployments of the Vox Units piloted by Madoka Kyouno, Lan, and Muginami. Tasked with neutralizing threats from the rebel group Kiss and planetary leaders of Le Garite and De Metrio, he orchestrates defense missions against alien incursions while minimizing risks to civilian populations.

Working alongside Novumundus colleagues Moid and Asteria, he monitors Vox Unit readiness and manages crisis responses. In initial operations, he underscores Madoka’s indispensable role as Vox Aura’s pilot during discussions with Moid, aligning her combat duties with broader defense strategies. As conflicts escalate, he adapts tactics to shield urban centers, redirecting battles to oceanic zones to contain collateral damage.

Tadokoro adopts a pragmatic leadership style, prioritizing mission success without compromising pilot welfare. He permits Madoka to retain her civilian life and education alongside her responsibilities as a pilot, acknowledging her dual commitments. His coordination with researcher Youko Nakaizumi bridges military and scientific efforts, advancing investigations into the Vox Units’ origins while overseeing their combat applications.

Amid intensifying threats—including Villagulio’s Ovid army invasion and the destabilizing Rin-ne phenomenon—Tadokoro’s steady command anchors Novumundus operations. He navigates resource allocation, interplanetary tensions, and sudden attacks to maintain organizational stability, ensuring continuity as external hostilities reach critical levels.
