Mishima

Major Mishima was a Japanese officer in charge of the Joint Test Flying Evaluation Squadron during the development of the ASF-X program for the Japanese military. He was the first person to fly the ASF-X prototype but later became just a supervisor of the squadron and stopped flying.

Prior to his involvement with the ASF-X, he was a flight instructor at Komatsu Air Force base where he trained Nagase as a fighter pilot. Members of his squadron would regard him as a tough individual, but also as fair and reliable.
