Shinobu was born in the mountain regions of Japan. Shinobu was a cadet of the Australian Space Military Academy before the invasion on the Muge Empire forces. After the school was closed due to destruction, he was transferred to the Far East's Special armoured unit, the Bestial Fighter Troop or Jyusenki Tai (Known in the English version as the Cyber Beast Force). His hobby is hang gliding. Shinobu is an extremely talented pilot, but his rash temper and over confidence tends to land him into situations over his head. Nevertheless he is a straightforward character. His blood type is A.

Ace Pilot: While the rest of CBF counts, hes the only one who rides a fighter jet(and a modified one) and its notable that his outrageus skills are mentioned several time.
Badass Adorable: At one point, he is a Hot Blooded Bad Ass Ace Pilot. At another point, he act exactly like a little child. A particularly notable moment is where he jumped, hugged Sara and kiss her in the cheek, after his wish to give the titular mecha the ability to fly is granted.
Big Damn Heroes: Saves Dancougar Nova and its pilots in Super Robot Wars Z2: Hakai-hen.
Brutal Honesty: To a one shot character. And he got a good point. Being trapped inside a Lotus-Eater Machine is NOT better than facing the real situation.
Catch Phrase: "Yatte yaru ze!"^translation"Let's do it!" In the Super Robot Wars series, he gets vocal if others say it.
- Flanderization: That case where he gets vocal if others say his Catch Phrase ? Only happened ONCE in the series, invoked by Ryo.
Combination Attack: Dankuu Sougaken with Aoi.
Dumbass Has a Point: Despite how he ussualy acts, he is the most battle-ready of the Jyusenkitai, which is the reason why he is chosen to be the leader. To note, Masato is still immature and unskilled, Ryo hesitate to kill fellow Human, Sara is still unable to accept Shapiro's Face Heel Turn, even after making the decision that she is the one who will bring him to an end. Shinobu has none of them.
The Hero
Hidden Depths: He is the most straightforward character on the team. Until you realize that he is the ONLY character who actualy think about the effect of war. Its rather jarring since the reason that Igor punched him for his lack of discipline is because he is showing his concern toward his teammates and the civilians. Heck, when he is punched by Ryo for not showing up in time for the mission, its because because he is saving a little child!!
Hot Blooded: All the Dancougar pilots are like that, but Shinobu was the patron saint of this trope before Domon Kasshu and Kamina came along.
Idiot Hero: Somewhat, early on the series, his antics caused a lot of problem. The episode where he messed up against Mountain Villager is particularly jarring since Sara should have won if not for him interfering and captured as a result.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold
Man Child: Ryo described him as a little child and his toy, reffering to the Eagle. This is also lampshaded by Laura.
- Also a form of Informed Attribute. He is actualy the most mature out of the Jyusenkitai being the most realistic when it comes to the battlefield.
Never Tell Me the Odds: He did not believe in any form of computerized data, since in his own words, it limited his freedom. And it shows, to Alan's embarassment.
Romantic Runner Up
Sempai Kouhai: In Super Robot Wars Z2, Team-D referrs to him as "Sempai."
Slap-Slap-Kiss / Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Sara.
Smarter Than You Look: Despite being an Idiot Hero, he is relatively well educated.
Talking to Himself: Whenever Judau Ashta shows up in the Super Robot Wars series.
What the Hell, Hero?: Gets called out quite a few times for his lack of discipline.
- Performed one to General Igor, and for good reason. He is punished for his effort though.

Sara Yuki

VA: Yuriko Yamamoto

Sara Yuki hails from the Izu peninsula. She was assigned to the Far East Armoured Unit a few days later than Shinobu due to several circumstances. During her days at the Australian Military Academy, she had fallen in love with her Commander Shapiro Keats, before he defected to the Zorbados Corps. Ever since then she had been suffering torn loyalties of both love and hatred towards Shapiro. Sara, like a typical redhead, is known for her fiery temper and enjoys swimming and music. Her blood type is AB.

Action Girl: A more notable example, because she actualy get the most amount of action out of anyone on the team.
Armor-Piercing Slap: And Shinobu is the most common victim of it.
Badass: THE most Badass member of the Jyusenkitai. At one part she fought against TWO Mountain Villager, with one of them being a giant, and winning.
Chick Lancer
Cry Cute: A tough-ass lady usually, but when she cries on Shinobu's embrace, she's... different.
Fiery Redhead
Kill The Ones You Love: Subverted. When she shot Shapiro, she had long fallen out of love with him.
- You fool, Shapiro!
Slap-Slap-Kiss / Belligerent Sexual Tension With Shinobu.
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Hoo boy, if not for her position you would think she is the main character. Towards the end of the show, she has even more focus than before.
Tsundere: Type A.
Woman Scorned: Towards Shapiro, later in the series.

Masato Shikibu

VA: Shigeru Nakahara

Masato was born in the Iwate Prefecture. Masato's father was the President of an arms manufacturing plant, and his family is quite wealthy. Going against his father's wishes, Masato entered the academy (6th team trainee). He is the youngest member of the Jyusenki Tai. An active lad, though somewhat immature, Masato's emotional strength makes up for his lack in combat experience. Later Masato's father is killed in an engagement involving a Muge survivor, in "God Bless Dancouga". Masato also is the best friend of Laura Sullivan, and her dog Becky. His blood type is B.

Angst? What Angst?: Admittedly, Masato and his father weren't on very good terms. Even so, Masato seems to get over his father's death with confusing ease.
Calling the Old Man Out: Masato doesn't like the fact that his father is an arms dealer.
Idiot Hero: A bit less than Shinobu but its there.
Kid Appeal Character
Out of Focus: Unlike the rest of the team(especialy Sara) he rarely has an episode that centered around him, if any. At least Shinobu and Ryo has a Solo action episode and a Ship Tease during the same episode.
Parental Abandonment
Rebellious Scion
The Smart Guy: One of two.
Tag Along Kid
Talking to Himself: Whenever he meets Shou Zama and/or Trowa Barton in the Super Robot Wars series.

Ryo Shiba

VA: Kaneto Shiozawa

After graduating from the Military Academy, he decided to roam about practicing his Kenpou martial arts. When the Jyusenki Tai was formed General Ross Igor asked him to join the force, he meets with his companions in Kansas City after a major battle has taken place. Born as an orphan, Ryo is a quiet man who practices spirituality according to his Chinese Kenpou disciplines. Ryo's blood type is O.

The Big Guy
Celibate Hero: Subverted: he stays like this until the end of God Bless Dancougar, when he gets married. The only reason he did not make any advance is to deal with the current problem.
Genius Bruiser
Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: He's the one who's the most likely to call Shinobu out on his tomfoolery.
- And get one from Shinobu later.
Ineffectual Loner
Martial Pacifist
Skilled, but Naive: In a Crapsack World under Alien Invasion that nearly wiped out the human being, he still hesitate to fight against fellow human being. A trait that is shown when the enemy force created a squad of Ridiculously Human Robots.
The Smart Guy: One of two.

Shapiro Keats

VA: Norio Wakamoto

Shapiro was a former commander of the Australian Military Academy, before he defected to the Muge Zorbados Imperial forces. Stubborn and intelligent Shapiro is obsessed with becoming the ruler of the Universe and has delusions of Godhood. Unlike most anime villains, he is extremely competent, and has actually come within a hair's breadth of defeating the Jyusenki Tai by exploiting his tactical knowledge of Earth and the human condition. His greatest weakness is his own arrogance, which eventually estranges him from his own allies and leads to his downfall. He is shot by Sara in the series. In the SRW series, Shapiro often makes his last stand by piloting a robot.
