Ratchet Altair originally led the main combat squad of the Revue, the Star Division, and fought alongside Cheiron Archer and Subaru Kujo. In the early spring, Sunnyside requested the help of the Imperial Combat Revue Commander Ichiro Ogami, to aid the fledgling organization. Instead, Ogami sent his nephew, Lieutenant Shinjiro Taiga, to lead the group. When Ratchet became unable to fight due to her dwindling spiritual energy levels rendering her STAR inoperable, she had Shinjiro assume leadership of the Star Division in her place while she stepped down to assume an advisory position. The Revue would later be joined by Rosarita "Rosita" Aries, Diana Caprice, and Gemini Sunrise (who was originally hired at the Little Lip Theater as a janitor) as they contended with the growing threat of a group of demons seeking to resurrect their master, Oda Nobunaga, then later, Tutenkhamun. Shinjiro would continue to lead the Star Division after Ratchet departed for Europe to found a new Combat Revue in Germany.
The New York Combat Revue would later disappear at the end of the Great Demon War of 1930.
Leadership
Commander Michael Sunnyside
Portrayed by: Naoya Uchida (stage plays)
The commander of the New York Combat Revue and the owner of the Little Lip Theater. He welcomes Shinjiro in New York when they first meet. Michael is always seen (officially in public) with Xingshi Wong at his side. His niece is Diana Caprice.
- Blatant Lies: Ratchet calls him out when he says everyone in the force calls him "Sunny".
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: eccentricity aside, he knows what he's doing.
- The Captain: He is in charge of the New York Combat Revue.
- Gratuitous Japanese: He's not shy to using Japanese phrases to help Shinjiro feel at home.
- Or just as likely, because he's more than a little obsessed with Japanese culture himself.
- Kick the Dog: Seemingly this when he tells Shinjiro that he needs to sacrifice one of the girls. This turns to be false since Michael was just testing Shinjiro. For that, you can put a sock in him.
- Nerd Glasses: He wears eyeglasses, but he's no nerd.
- The Nicknamer: Has a new nickname for Shinsnap every time he speaks to him. Which eventually turns into a running gag.
- Occidental Otaku: Takes a rather keen interest in all things Japanese.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Despite his demeanor, he's this for the New York Combat Revue.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Uses this for a good purpose once.
- Sharp-Dressed Man: He wears a white suit and purple necktie.

Other Personnel
Plum Spaniel (Cherry Cocker)

A waitress for the Little Lip Theater, Plum/Cherry is usually seen rollerskating around to deliver food and drinks to theater guests. In reality, Plum/Cherry is assigned to work at the Rainbow Division whenever the Ahab is launched.
Plum/Cherry enjoys teasing Anri, finding her Tsundere moments to be very cute.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: None of that with her. She's making it a goal to find someone to settle down with after she's done with Rainbow Division duties.
- Bridge Bunnies: Part of her Mission Control role.
- Cool Big Sis: She acts like towards Gemini when she first arrived in New York before and after she was recruited to join the Star Division.

- The Glomp: Does this to Anri in the New York NY OVA.
- Meaningful Name: Her first name is named after a fruit (Plum and Cherry) and her last name is based off a dog species (in this case, the American Cocker Spaniel).

- Nice Girl: Despite being flirty with Shinjiro, Plum/Cherry is really a nice girl once you get to know her.

- Those Two Girls: She's seen together with Anri most of the time when she's not on duty at the theater.
Anri Yoshino
Portrayed by: Yoko Honna (stage plays)
The vendor at the gift shop inside Little Lip Theater, selling various souvenirs to guests coming and going to and from the theater. She also creates all of the stage costumes for the Star Division whenever they put up a play in the Little Lip Theater.

- The Glomp: On the receiving end of it by Plum/Cherry in the New York OVAs.
- Kimono Is Traditional: Anri wears a green kimono when she's manning the gift shop. That said, Anri herself is not what you'd call a traditional Japanese lady, considering that she was born and raised in America.
- Mission Control: Works alongside Plum/Cherry in the Rainbow Division.
- Nice Girl: Once Shinjiro gets to interact more with Anri, she becomes friendlier.
- Tsundere: She's very, very tsundere. Anri shows it off both the game and OVAs.
