Aircraft Info

Developed by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) as a short-range, land-based interceptor, the J7W was a response to Boeing B-29 Superfortress raids on the Japanese home islands. For interception missions, the J7W was to be armed with four forward-firing 30 mm type 5 cannons in the nose.

About Suito Kusanagi "Boomerang"

The clone of Maumi Orishina. Being that she is a Kildren, she had her memories changed after she was shot down by Teacher in Innocent Aces and was reincarnated as such. Her memories were changed so that she believes she's been stationed beforehand at a Rostock base near Hariyu Base for some time, flying Sankas. She is then transferred to Hariyu Base and reports to the Teacher, who is stationed there as commander of Cheetah squadron. Upon arriving to Hariyu Base, she reports to Cheetah calling him "Teacher". Kusanagi has no memory of her previous defection to Lautern as Maumi Orishina and her battle with Cheetah, although the desire to fight is still present in her. She also remembers herself as a slight fan girl of the Teacher, having heard about his ablilities, and wishes to learn from him.

Before Higasawa's death, Suito Kusanagi has a similar personality to Maumi Orishina. She will actually laugh and smile in the air when flying and gets really excited when flying against a good opponent or watching a good pilot, especially the Teacher, but on the ground she tends to be a quiet presence around people she wanted to be around. She especially wanted to learn from the Teacher. If Kusanagi did not want to be around a person or group, she would find a quick way out. She will make up an excuse, go to her room and do something else. However, if she wants to talk she will make conversation and would probably stick around a person if she felt some sort of friendship with someone, like the Teacher, or Sasakura.
