Your Favorite Pizzas Birthday.

Pepperoni is a student from Anzio Girls High School and, together with Carpaccio, she serves as the Sensha-dō team's vice-commander. She operates a Carro Veloce CV.33. Pepperoni serves as one of Anchovy's vice-commanders and as the commander of Anzio's tankettes. Pepperoni is a girl of medium height with short, spiky hair (with a braid on the left side) and light brown eyes. During matches, she wears an Italian tanker's helmet. Pepperoni wis an extrovert and easy-going girl, who has a tendency of being rash and not thinking things through. While her cheerful personality makes her an excellent companion, her carelessness about her school's secret weapon allowed Yukari to directly guess what it was; also, during the battle she placed all the decoys (even though two were supposed to be spares, and their presence led to Ooarai sniffing the trap), while ironically remarking that battles aren't won by strength alone but also by intelligence.

Pepperoni is also rather passionate and aggressive in battle, deciding to attack Duck Team after being pursued by a short while, and relentlessly persevering in the attack until ordered otherwise. However, it could be said that this trait makes her the ideal leader for a unit made up of fast and nimble tankettes.

Pepperoni is also shown to have strong and positive attitude toward Anchovy with seem to be even stronger then alredy strong attitude of another membes of Anzio Girls High School team.

Pepperoni's Friends: About Anchovy: Flamboyant manner? Check. Deep love of Italian food? Check. Immense respect from peers, bordering on a cult of personality? Sort of. Leadership, passion, and confidence? Check, check, and double-check. Chiyomi Anzai, Also called Anchovy, wasn't handed her position on a silver spoon. Anzio was once a powerhouse on the Tankathlon circuit, but it struggled against other schools in major sensha-do tournaments due to its lack of funds and materiel. When Anchovy took over as commander, the sensha-do team was in serious decline. What can you do, when your arsenal is so weak, you're bringing bullets to an AP-shell fight? Anchovy did the one thing she could do - rally her team, and figure out how to outsmart the enemy. If her tanks were too weak to take on the enemy head-on, she'd outmaneuver them. If she couldn't take on the enemy en masse, she'd break them up to divide and conquer. And when the time came to sacrifice some snack times for a chance at acquiring greater firepower, Anchovy was the one to rally her team to see it through to the end. That Carro Armato P40 isn't just their latest addition to their arsenal - it's a testament to Anchovy's sheer charisma and leadership, as Anzio's Duce. As of late, the Anzio team under her leadership is on the rise again. What they lack in firepower, they make up for with sheer ingenuity, grit, and guile, which will surprise even the most hardened commanders. One would be foolish to scoff at Anchovy's team before facing them in battle. Take her on with an open mind - and an empty stomach. You'll thank me later at the after-match banquet. Yes, there will be one. Count on it. Anchovy has long, pastel green hair, tied into twin pigtails with black ribbons, reddish-brown eyes, and a slim physique. At school, Anchovy usually wears her uniform with a black mantle, secured by a chain around her neck. She also wears a round gold badge, as a symbol of her authority as sensha-do commander. She also carries a riding crop, which she uses for emphasis when rallying her teammates. While practicing sensha-do, Anchovy wears Anzio's dark green uniform, albeit with trousers instead of the skirt. She blouses her trousers over the boots. Pepperoni often calls Anchovy "Big Sister" instead of her name.

About Pepperoni's other Friend: Carpaccio is a smiling tall girl (seemingly taller than Anchovy) with long blonde hair and green eyes. She is often seen wearing either the School or Sensha-do uniform. Similar to the other girls from Anzio, she wears a black beret (not during battle). Carpaccio is a sweet, polite and quiet girl, contrasting nicely (and perhaps counterbalancing) her commander's hot-blooded character (as shown when she wished a good match after Anchovy's arrogant remarks to Miho); still, she seems to be very loyal towards her "Duce". Carpaccio mostly retains her personality, being happy to see her friend again, and expressing the wish (reciprocated by Caesar) to keep the fight fair and their friendship strong. She was also revealed as somewhat competitive and determined, deciding to engage the StuG III after recognizing it as Caesar's tank and fighting to the end of the duel. Carpaccio is shown to be quite brave as she was the only one who didn't run when Ooarai girls broke into Anzio to take back Momo Kawashima. Her friendship with Caesar is also portrayed as a romantic one.

about Pepperoni's School: Behavior & Policy Anzio's culture places heavy emphasis on festivities and feasts; they have close ties with Waffle Academy and Blue Division High School due to their love of food, and the schools often reunite in internationally-known food festivals. They are also known for their extravagant post-match parties to thank all participants and officials, regardless of the outcome of the match. Due to the school's poverty, all clubs are encouraged to have street food stalls to raise funds. their popularity raised beyond the schoolship as in addition to residents and students many tourists come to Anzio making them a valuable source of revenue. Most of the food sold at these stalls is made from crops harvested on campus, which keeps the cost of raw materials low. In addition, the labor costs are "self-initiated" by the students, so the prices are low for the taste and volume of the food, which is also the reason for its popularity. They also earn funds through Tankathlon.

It is said by other schools that Anzio's students only have enthusiasm and spirit going for them. But they are also very friendly and impulsive; their impulsiveness is the main cause of the school's poverty. Due to their far-from-frugal attitude, the school's budget is largely allocated to snack times and personal spending. The students often get carried away in the moment and don’t dwell much on the details. They enjoy their carefree life to the fullest and put all their energy into the pleasures at hand. They also known to be fair winners and losers, as regardless of the outcome of the match they always organize their after-match parties, which to them are the most important part.

Most of Anzio's students came from Tochigi, Shizuoka and Aichi prefectures. Many of the students who have trained at their food stalls have greatly improved their culinary skills during their time at school, and of those interested in cooking, many go into the culinary field after graduation.

Materiel Their main force is composed of CV.33 tankettes, representing more than half of Anzio's tanks in service. They also possess a small number of CV.35 and CV.38 tankettes, and some equipped with integrated 20mm antitank guns (making them CV.33cc), but as their mobility has deteriorated, they aren't actively used. Anzio also used CV.33s equipped with Solothurn S-18-1000 20mm antitank rifles fixed on the hull for Tankathlon. The Semovente da 75/18 self-propelled gun is also part of their arsenal, and is their mainstay for firepower. Anzio also made drastic budget cuts to save enough money to buy a P26/40 heavy tank. They possess some M13/40 medium tanks, but they don't seems to be operational due to a lack of care, and they also have some M14/41 medium tanks, although it is unknown why they haven't fielded them.

Anzio is considering proposals to purchase the more powerful Semovente da 75/34, or the even more powerful Semovente da 90/53. However, the latter could create issues due to to its limited ammunition capacity (eight rounds) and open fighting compartment. The only solution would to modify the vehicle to enclose the fighting compartment and increase the ammunition capacity, but it is unclear how they could make such modifications or if the Senshado Federation would approve these changes. So even if the tank destroyer is powerful and inexpensive, Anzio has not decided to purchase it yet.

Tactics Given that tankettes and light tanks make up the bulk of their forces, supported by just a handful of 75 mm self-propelled guns, Anzio tends to rely on baiting and ambush tactics, trying to capitalize on its tankettes' mobility to harass and throw their opponents off guard so they can strike the flag tank with their heavier vehicles. They are also shown to make use of deception in the form of wooden decoys to influence the movements of their opponents by using cardboard decoys. But due to their impulsive nature they unsuitable on defensive tactics and standoffs. They also made impressive plans on paper that usually rarely survive first contact and rarely have backup plans.

Schoolship Their actual schoolship is based and named after the Aquila, an unfinished Italian aircraft carrier from the Regia Marina during World War II. Following Mario Polo's wishes, many of the schoolship's buildings have a Renaissance-style architecture and were modeled after Italian landmarks. Anzio's main plaza is a replica of Rome's Piazza di Spagna with the Spanish Steps, the Trinità dei Monti and the Fontana della Barcaccia. They also have a replica of the Roman Pantheon with its fountain (transferred from Pompei to Japan to commemorate Italy-Japan relations) where they sometimes play opera, of the Trevi Fountain, the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore and the Colosseum which serves as an all-purpose place (senshado training grounds, athletic fields, stages, etc.). The schoolship is also used as a theme park, luring tourists for sightseeing purposes.

Uniform Anzio's schoolgirl uniform consists into a dark blue beret, a white collared shirt with a black tie, a dark blue skirt with a belt, a white pantyhose, and black shoes. Anchovy's uniform is the same as other students but with a long black mantle. Both the uniform and Anchovy's mantle are heavily inspired by the uniform of the "Giovani Italiane," the organization that grouped young Italian females during fascism.

Anzio's senshado uniform consists of a gray uniform with a jacket (inspired by the World War I Arditi Corps), gray shorts with a black belt, and a pair of black high boots. Anchovy's uniform only differs with puffed trousers instead of shorts, an additional chest belt, and a red armband (although some students like Pepperoni can be seen wearing an Italian tanker’s helmet.)

about Sensha-dō: Sensha-dō is a form of martial arts that involves the use of tanks as weapons. This martial art is exclusive for women who start practicing it as early as from elementary school up to high school, university and adulthood. According to an old film called “Introduction to Sensha-dō”, the purpose of Sensha-dō is for women to grow their self-esteem, assist them in becoming professional and efficient citizens and develop the characteristics necessary to become good wives and mothers. Given the film was released in 1939 and sound more like propaganda, by the time of the events featured in the anime Sensha-dō is seen and treated more like a sport in which girls have fun and compete generally in a friendly way and where you have, like in most modern-day sports, leagues, tournaments, regulations, teams and spectators watching Sensha-dō matches in the stands or in television. Sensha-dō is conduct like a team sport, where a group of girls drive a certain number of tanks organized into a team and fight an opposing team on a field previously chose and whose dimensions and terrain can vary from one match to another. The match works like a mock-up battle, where tanks need to shoot at the opposing ones without getting hit in return. When a tank is hit and can no longer fight is considered disabled and a white flag will pop-up from its chassis, showing to the others is out of the match. The main objective in order to win depends on the type of match, namely there are two: Flag battle: the most common type of match seen during the series. One team must eliminate the opposing team's flag tank in order to win the match, while at the same time preventing them from knock out its own flag tank. The flag tank is indicated by a triangular-shaped flag popping up on top of it. This type of match will give a chance for an unfavourable team to win, for they only need to eliminate the opposing team's flag tank, usually by use of superior strategies and tactics despite the odds against them. Elimination battle: one team must eliminate all its opposing team's tanks in order to win the match. This type of match will favour the team with superior tanks, for it is a battle of attrition. Elimination battles will be the norm for the incoming Pro League encounters.

Rules: The rules and regulations of Sensha-dō are set by the Japanese Sensha-dō Federation and there are many, covering the most various topics from the number of tanks that can be used during the matches to the compensations for private propriety’s damages. The Federation is also responsible for the participant’s safety and, among its duties, they must provide the teams with ammunition treated specifically to have a low penetration impact when they hit a tank. They must also verify that tanks used during the matches respect the regulations of the Federation and are covered internally with special materials that offer extra protection to its occupants.

To determine if a shell would have knock out a tank or not each shell have an internal micro-chip that, when the shell hit a tank, send data to a black box located inside said tank. The black box calculate various factors such as distance, trajectory, caliber of the shell, velocity, armor thickness of the tank and so on to determine if that shot would have penetrated or not. This system works similarly to the real-life MILES technology used by many armed forces all around the globe for training.

Organization: There are two main bodies that manage the Sensha-dō activities:

Japan Sensha-dō Federation (JFS): the chief organization for the Sensha-dō, responsible of all the official tournaments within the country. It is divided in subbranches. High School Sensha-dō Federation: supervise the Sensha-dō activities in the high schools. University Sensha-dō Federation: supervise the Sensha-dō activities in the universities. Pro League Sensha-dō: recently formed, it supervises the preparations for the incoming World Cup that will be hosted in Japan. Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT): cooperate alongside the Japan Sensha-dō Federation to strengthen Sensha-dō in the schools. It is also responsible for the maintenance of the school carriers.

Tournaments and events: Sensha-dō teams participate in several competitions and events, both official and unofficial. Among them there are:

Sensha-dō World Cup: competition in which national teams from all over the world battle for the title of champions of the world. The next World Cup will be held in Japan. National High School Sensha-dō Tournament: Japanese national tournament for the high school Sensha-dō teams held every year during summer. Is a single-elimination tournament, with sixteen teams battling in flag matches. In the first two rounds a maximum of ten tanks per team are allowed, increasing to fifteen in the semi-finals and to twenty in the finals. The current champion is Ooarai Girls Academy. Winter Continuous Track Cup: a tournament created to commemorate the foundation of the Japan Sensha-dō Federation. Twenty years before the anime main events it was closed but, because of the new policy of reinforcing the Sensha-dō throughout the country for the incoming Pro League selections for the World Cup, it has been restored shortly after the 63rd High School Sensha-Dō Tournament. The tournament format works like the National High School Sensha-dō Tournament one. The Commemorative Cup: a tournament held after the National High School Sensha-dō Tournament, traditionally hosted in the champion’s hometown.
