Alto Saotome

Alto Saotome, the main protagonist of Macross Frontier, is an ambitious and talented young man. Standing at around 5'9" (175 cm) tall with a slim yet athletic build, Alto has striking features characterized by his vivid yellow eyes and long black hair that he usually ties in a low ponytail. His skin-tone is quite fair, further accentuating his youthful appearance.

Alto's personality can be described as a mixture of pride and determination combined with a strong sense of duty and responsibility. As a former Kabuki actor from a renowned family, he possesses elegance and certain poise to his movements which also translates into his piloting skills later on. After leaving the world of acting behind him, Alto joins the private military organization S.M.S to become a variable fighter pilot. It was there that he earned the nickname "Princess" owing to his stunning beauty and aristocrat-like demeanor.

He often comes off as aloof or standoffish due to his disciplined nature but deep down inside, Alto cares deeply for his friends and is willing to risk it all in order to protect them from harm. His character experiences significant growth throughout the series as he is continually faced with challenges forcing him to confront and reassess his personal priorities.

Alto pilots a sleek VF-25 Messiah variable fighter which enables him to perform daring aerial combat maneuvers. He becomes highly skilled in aerial combat through demanding training and battlefield experience, eventually leading him into numerous battles against Vajra – an unknown species of hive-minded insectoid creatures.
