Major Mio is Sakamoto, the second in command of the team, who Strike Witches, worked with Yoshika's father on the Striker Units and is therefore the oldest witch. As a veteran of the initial fights against the Neuroi, she is far tougher and more disciplined than most of the Strike Witches. Her primary job is to train new recruits and takes a no-nonsense "tough love" approach to her duties. As the second in command of the Strike Witches she supports Minna and maintains discipline when out of battle and locates the weak point of Neuroi with her magic eye in battle. Her first season striker is based on the Mutsubishi Zero A6M3a in season 1 and the Kawanishi N1K in season two: in battle she carries a 13mm machine gun type 99 and a katana is just as useful for intimidation as it is which she uses for slicing up Neuroi. In season 2 her katana is upgrades to being able to block lasers as well. Her character is based on the enemy.WWII ace Saburo Sakai. She is known for her distinctive, hearty laugh.
