Daitetsu Kunikida
Mr. Daitetsu Kunikida was born in Tokyo and
is the leader of the TAC. He also happens to be Kaede's adoptive father
and was devastated when she disappeared, seemingly struck down by the
Aragami. He is a rather rugged and gruff individual, but inside he's
nothing but a softie. After Kaede's disappearance, he leads the TAC to
Izumo, to protect the other Kushinada, Momiji, and after a battle with Orochi,
takes Momiji back to Tokyo in order to protect her. Momiji's grandmother
has given him custody of Momiji, and Kunikida comes to care deeply for her,
just like he cared for his daughter Kaede. Kunikida exemplifies honor
and consciousness, wanting to protect his country but not at the cost of the
life of an innocent girl.
He is torn between duty and what he believes to be
right and wrong, and when the Japanese government wrests Momiji away from the
TAC to offer her as a human sacrifice, he rebels against them to steal her
back, unwilling to let them sacrifice her, believing that there has to be
another way to stop the Aragami.
He is very dedicated to his job and Japan, and develops a
special bond not only with Momiji, but also with another member of the TAC in
particular.
Kunikida's blood type is B and his sign is Virgo.
