Paris Combat Revue
The Paris Combat Revuenote  was organized in 1924 by Isabel "Grand-Mère" Lilac and Japanese ambassador Norimichi Sakomizu. Whenever Paris is at peace, the team often performs cabaret acts at Le Chattes Noires.

Erica Fontaine and Glycine Bleumer are recruited into the revue as their first members. In 1926, Grand-Mère contacts Imperial Combat Revue Captain Ichiro Ogami to lead the revue. Coquelicot, Lobelia Carlini and Hanabi Kitaoji join the team to help Ogami and his friends fight the Paris Phantoms. Upon their successful victory, Ogami returns to Tokyo and Erica is selected to become its new captain, but soon gives up that post. Eventually, in 1927, the Paris Combat Revue travels to Tokyo to help the Imperial Combat Revue stop Ōkubo Nagayasu from threatening Tokyo once again. Two years later, the Paris, New York and Imperial Combat Revues battle Jeanne d'Arc. During the Great Demon War in 1930, the Combat Revue ultimately seal themselves along with the New York and Imperial Combat Revues to contain the demons in the Shadow Tokyo.

Voiced by: Shinshō Nakamaru (Japanese), Bill Flynn (English, Sakura Wars: École de Paris)
Portrayed by: Shinshō Nakamaru (stage plays)

Officially known to the public as the Japanese ambassador to France, he is sent by Tokyo to assist the French government in creating the Paris Combat Revue. His "official" position with the Paris Combat Revue is the station chief of the unit, as well as the station chief of the Arc de Triomphe. He was responsible for arranging Ogami's arrival in France under the cover of an international student.


  • Ambadassador: He serves as the Japanese ambassador to France.
  • Cold Sniper: He's one when he shoots an anti-spirit bullet at Lobelia in order to paralyze her before she was taken into custody by Paris Prefectural police officers.
    Sakomizu: "Actually my aim was off. My intention was to kill. ... If my first shot failed to put her down, I doubt I would have lived to take the second. After all, I do value my own life."
  • Red Baron: He was known as "Sakomizu the Steel Wall" to everyone in the Imperial Japanese military.
  • Retired Badass: He was a former officer in the IJN back in the day before he became an ambassador.

Voiced by: Sachiko Kojima (Japanese), Kate Oxley (English, Sakura Wars: École de Paris, as "Kate Borneman")
Portrayed by: Sachiko Kojima (stage plays)

A secretary of Grand-Mère who provides logistical support during battles. Mell is timid, yet serious and punctual.


  • A-Cup Angst: Implied, as she reprimands Ogami for seemingly comparing her chest to Ci's.
  • Bridge Bunnies: Like the Wind Division before them, she and Ci serve as technical support whenever the Flower Division deploys into battle.
  • French Maid Outfit: She wears a maid uniform when on duty.
  • Meaningful Name: Her last name stands for reason. Combine her first with Ci and you can read it as "Merci", which means "Thanks" in French.
  • Energetic and Soft-Spoken Duo: Her calm and demure attitude contrasts with Ci's excitable nature.
  • Ship Tease: The Final Chapter of Is Paris Burning? makes it clear that she's got a crush on Ogami; she cut a picture of the entire Paris Combat Revue and put him next to her before framing it.
  • Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Her blue hair goes well with her quiet demeanor. The color even contrasts Ci's red hair.

    Ci Caprice

  • French Maid Outfit: She wears a maid uniform when on duty.
  • Genki Girl: She's very happy-go-lucky most of the time.

  • Ship Tease: Like with Mell, the Final Chapter of Is Paris Burning? all but states that she's got a crush on Ogami; when he tries to tell her that he'll be leaving for Tokyo in a week's time, she'll stop him mid-sentence, claiming that, he says it, she'll "get serious about him."
  • Sweet Tooth: Has a love for sweets like Erica and is a very talented pâtissière.
