Mio Sakamoto

Mio Sakamoto, also known as Samurai, is one of the main characters from the World of Witches series.
== Charactah Account ==
The first Strike Witch and sub-commander of the unit, with the commissioned rank of Squadron Leader and official rank of Major. Mio is also the oldest witch at nineteen (later, twenty) years old and, like Yoshika, comes from Fuso. She is seemingly the toughest and most mature of the Witches, being an experienced veteran of the early fighting against the Neuroi. She knew Yoshika's father while he was first designing the Striker Unit and was the first person to pilot one.
Mio's usual task is to train new recruits, and in this role she becomes a very strict disciplinarian, appropriately gaining the ears and tail of a Doberman when equipped with her Striker. Otherwise she is quite friendly, if a little too forward at times, with a very distinct laugh.
Under Mio's eyepatch is a magic eye that grants her increased visual prowess and the ability to spot Neuroi cores when used. Being 19/20 years old however Mio's magical power has aged too far for her to erect effective shields in combat, however she can still fly and use her magical eye.

== Trivia ==
* Mio is based on famous Japanese flying ace Sakai Saburo, the "Sky Samurai". He was gifted with an excellent vision and regularly trained his eyes by spotting stars during the daytime, or trying to discern far objects through palm tree leaves. Due to this training, he could spot enemy planes from farther distances than other pilots. He lost his right eye during combat. Mio's eyepatch, scar in her early design, and magic eye are most likely all references to this.
* Her familiar is the Doberman.
* Mio is knowledgeable about the Way of Tea, but doesn't fuss about formal etiquette.
* She appears to be afraid of critters, having fainted upon facing a snake while stranded on an island, as seen in Strike Witches: Maidens in the Sky.
