A total gearhead, he loves his job--probably a little too much, as he can be very hard to relax when he gets fired up. Shige is good friends with Asuma Shinohara. He's an authority on Labors and also has a license for underwater construction Labors. (Source: Wikipedia)

Seiyū: Urara Takano American voices: Catherine Berry (ADV Films), Kelsey Kling (Sakura Wars TV), Mari Devon (credited as Jane Alan) (Bandai/Geneon, FUNimation) Floral Namesake: Tachibana orange (Citrus tachibana) Place of Origin: Kiev, Ukraine, of mixed Japanese-Russian (Japanese-Ukrainian) parentage Martial Talents: Marksmanship (pistol) (Enfield Mark I: revolver) Koubu-Kai/Jinbu/Tenbu/Koubu Nishiki Unit Color: Dark purple (sometimes seen as ether Black or Indigo) Weapon: Arm-mounted machine cannon, back-mounted sniper cannon Birthdate: June 19, 1903 Age: 19-21 Height: 186 cm (6'1") Weight: 65 kg B/W/H: 88/60/90 Blood Type: O Theme songs: "Only Man" and "Ikiteru Yorokobi" ("Alive with Joy") A veteran of the Russian Revolution, Maria is the only member of the Hanagumi with prior experience of military tactics and warfare. This experience was why she was chosen to be the original leader of the group. However, though her struggles in Russia had left her an expert marksman and skilled tactician, she also became coldly logical and unwilling to interact with others on an emotional level, which led to being labeled "Kazuar" (in anime it's said that this name means "phoenix", but actually it's a bird, but its closest relative is ostrich). After a series of set backs, it was decided that Ichiro Ōgami should replace her as leader, with Maria remaining as his second. After an initial period of friction between the pair when Ōgami arrived, Maria's attitude began to turn slightly, though she still remains the most coldly emotional of the group. Sakura looks up at Maria very much at the beginning. (Source: wikipedia)
Section 2 Division 2 Team 1: Son of the head of Shinohara Heavy Industries, the company that makes 90% of the labors in the world. After a falling out with his father, Asuma joined the police force and specifically requested to be assigned to the labor units. Smart, honest to a fault, and sometimes a bit hot-headed, Asuma is a very good officer, although he's often used by Goto as a lackey. Noa and Hiromi's commanding officer in the field, he has a soft spot for the former. Goto recognizes Asuma has some talent in diverse fields, as can be seen in various places throughout the series.

Adopted nephew of Maeda Toshiie and Matsu. Keiji is what people call a happy-go-lucky man. He enjoys festivals, as well as pulling pranks on Toshiie. Despite his demeanor towards his step-family, he loves them though shows resentment at them due to their objection to his lifestyle. Accompanying him is a small monkey named Yumekichi. His weapon is a ludicrously over-sized nodachi. Despite its length, he can use it one-handed. He also uses its sheath, but rather than carry it around he throws it in to the sky, having it come down just when he needs to use it. (Source: Wikipedia)
