Description
Sumiharu Inukai is a B-rank Gunner in Border's Ninomiya Squad, following the squad's demotion from A-rank due to a former member's violation. He stands 176 cm tall with dark blonde hair and teal eyes, typically wearing a black suit battle uniform without a waistcoat; his unbuttoned jacket reveals the squad emblem on his necktie and a brown holster at his waist.
Inukai displays a playful and amiable exterior, reportedly shaped by interactions with his two older sisters, yet maintains focused combat pragmatism. This sociable demeanor masks a capacity for psychological warfare and tactical judgment, allowing him to taunt opponents verbally while assessing their capabilities. He exhibits moments of lightheartedness, like deliberately stepping in crunchy snow during a rank war despite tactical vulnerability, but remains objective-oriented in battle.
His combat abilities reflect high-tier squad experience. He wields a firearm resembling an FN P90 for his Gunner Triggers, specializing in Asteroid (Master Class) and Hound (approaching Master Class). He shoots proficiently while moving or one-handed, fluidly adapts Shield configurations for defense, and employs Hound for coordinated pincer attacks. His parameters are high: Trion (8), Attack (8), Defense/Support (7), Mobility (7), Skill (8), with moderate Command (5) and Range (4) ratings. His reflexes enable him to intercept sniper fire with Shield and counter multi-layered traps, as demonstrated when he blocked Osamu Mikumo's Asteroid ambush.
His background includes involvement in Border's investigation into former squadmate Mirai Hatohara's disappearance, appearing briefly at Rinji Amatori's residence. During the B-Rank Wars, he participated in a four-way battle: tracking Osamu into a building and acknowledging his tactical improvements, later engaging Azuma Squad members Koarai and Okudera—losing an arm to their ambush before Tsuji intervened. He pursued Chika Amatori after dodging her telegraphed shot, only to be eliminated by combined fire from Ema and Kageura. In the Galopoula Invasion, he followed squad orders to neutralize the Neighbor Idras.
Outside combat, he expresses preferences for planes, hot dogs, and grapes. His surname translates to "dog shepherd" and his given name means "floating and cloudy."
