Identity:

Akira Yamamoto (山本 玲, Yamamoto Akira), nicknamed "Rei" (玲, Rei) by her friends, is a Marsnoid fighter pilot of the Earth Federation Cosmo Navy. She serves aboard the space battleship Yamato late in the Great Garmillas War, initially as part of its accounting department, but later becoming part of its fighter squadron.

Childhood and Early life:

Akira Yamamoto was born in Arcadia City on Mars, the granddaughter of a man born on the red planet. Like other natives Marsoids, conditions on the planet turned Yamamoto's eyes red. Soon after her birth in 2179, the Second Inner Planetary War broke out, forcing Yamamoto and her family were forced to evacuate Mars and settle on Earth. Most of her family was wiped out by the Garmillan planet bombs early in the Great Garmillas War, leaving only her and her older brother Akio Yamamoto behind.

After she immigrated to Earth, Yamamoto and her brother Akio faced discrimination for their Marsnoid origins, especially the color of their eyes, which led Yamamoto to develop a tendency not to look people in the eyes and talk to them. Akio often protected his younger sister from bullies at that time.

Akio eventually enlisted in the United Nations Cosmo Force as a recon pilot, and the two brothers became friends with his fellow pilot, Saburo Kato. Due the the kanji making up her name having three different readings, her friends took to calling her "Rei", the Kan-on reading of the character.

In February of 2198, Akio was killed in action during the Second Battle of Mars against the forces of the Greater Garmillan Empire. Before departing, he had gifted the young Yamamoto with a red pendant, which was brought back to her by Kato.

Akira values her connection with her deceased family, particularly her brother Akio, with whom she had a close relationship. She still feels a strong emotional bond with him even after his passing. One of her most beloved possessions is a necklace she had originally given to Akio, which was brought back to her by Kato after her brother's death. The loss of her family members during the Great Garmillas War, especially Akio's death, fueled her intense hatred for the Garmillans and a desire for revenge.

Akira joined the Cosmo Force as a member of the United Nations Cosmo Navy, attaining the rank of Ensign. She was selected to participate in Program Yamato and was present when the mission was officially announced by the Cosmo Navy's Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Juzo Okita. The space battleship Yamato would travel to the distant planet Iscandar to retrieve the Cosmo Reverse System, a device that could cure Earth's ruined biosphere. Yamamoto requested to be assigned to the warship's fighter squadron, but Kato, who had come to her home to pay his respects to Akio, informed her that she had been assigned to the accounting department. She sadly accepted the decision, and after looking at her brother's pendant, she went to take a pair of scissors and cut her hair short. The battleship took off on February 11, 2199. Yamamoto stood idly and watched planet Mars as the ship passed near it.

On Enceladus, Yamato came under attack from a force of Garmillan androids. Seeing the ship's pilots preparing to take off, Yamamoto decided to steal one of their planes and help in the battle. As the rest of the squadron struggled to take off due to the landing facilities for the Cosmo Falcon fighters being obstructed, Yamamoto stole an advanced Cosmo Zero fighter, α2. She immediately took down two Garmillan tanks and was soon flanked by Kato, who asked her to identify herself. He was interrupted by the arrival of an enemy landing ship and, despite not recognizing her, he sent Yamamoto to help Lieutenants Susumu Kodai and Yuki Mori's medical team. She contacted Mori and informed her she was on her way, and took down another tank threatening the two officers, showing remarkable flight ability.

Akira conducts her work and her personal affairs with obvious passion. That passion can easily turn into ferocity, both in battle against her enemies and in her personal interactions. Nevertheless, Akira maintains a military professionalism that she calls upon in emotionally charged situations.
