Rentaro Satomi

Rentaro Satomi is the main protagonist from the light novel and anime series of Black Bullet. He is a young teen enrolled in high school and forming part Civil Security. He is a Promoter who is partnered with an Initiator named Enju Aihara.
He is voiced by Yūki Kaji in the Japanese version, who also voices Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan, and Chris Patton in the English version, who also voices Sousuke Sagara from Full Metal Panic!.
==Appearance==
Rentaro Satomi is a young teen of small frame and messy dark blue hair, with slightly slanted eyes and blue irises. His dark blue hair partially covers the whole of his forehead; reaching down below his eyes with a parted set of bangs untidily forming. Rentaro possesses thick sideburns connected to his hair which hang loose around his cheekbones on either side. Further; several strands of his unkempt hair, having gaps in several locations, arch around his thin eyebrows and hover on top of his thick eyelashes. His nose serves as roof to thin lips and a small jawline. He has small ears and normal-sized feet. Despite his profession, Rentaro shows no scars in any visible part of his body.
==Personality==
Rentaro, whilst seemingly low-tempered, is a loving young boy that, despite public view, treats everyone; the Cursed Children included, as equal. Said statement is further emphasized when Enju, she herself being a Cursed Child, is mistreated by her school peers due to the Gastrea blood running through her veins; Rentaro unthinkingly exits his own school to go to her side. However, while he is a good person at heart, Rentaro takes a more rational and realistic approach on things, dealing with problems. He's willing to use lethal force against Kagetane as well. Likewise, he also prevents Enju from saving a Cursed Child who stole some food, noting that such action would have resulted in a negative outcome between him and Enju. When Rentaro takes the position as commander after Gado was killed off, a fellow civil security officer questions him. Rentaro responds by stabbing said civil security officer in the shoulder, hoping that other civil security officers will discard their fear and instead hate him so that the civil officers' morale will be boosted.
==Abilities==
Rentaro is portrayed in the anime as a near-flawless protagonist who possesses many skills and abilities, while still being pragmatic at certain times. In the light novels however, the narration frequently highlights the flaws in his personality, with the downsides of his utilitarian ethics being a plot point in the Fugitive Arc.

====A Day of Civil Securities====
Walking about in the streets of Tokyo, Rentaro passes by a man that is coughing violently. Stopping and asking if he is fine, he is met by a bloody hand to his face, and the man asking him for help. Rentaro is quick to realize that the man is turning into a Gastrea, but before it can fully change into one, Shougem Ikuma and Kayo appear; defeating the Gastrea in a mere amount of seconds. Rentaro complains about them taking his target, though Kayo questions what kind of Civil Security talks so nicely to a Gastrea. He looks up as she begins to rant about the duties of being a part of Civil Security, mainly noting the fact that his Initiator is not with him. Before he can reply, they leave. From behind, Tadashima calls Rentaro's attention and tells him that it was nicely done. However, not accepting the complement as he knows it was Shougen that defeated the Gastrea alone, Rentaro comments on their different jobs: Police and Civil Security. Seconds afterwards, he gets a call from Kisara, whom he informs of the Gastrea that appeared before him, but was taken by another company. Arriving back to the company, he is met by a worried Enju telling him that the president is not acting like her normal self. Much to his shock, he witnesses this when she walks in front of him acting like a neko. Though she quickly returns to her former self when she tells Rentaro that there are Gastrea Stage II close to their location, as well as telling him not to mess it up. When they hear an explosion, Rentaro and Enju rapidly head towards it. Arriving to the location, Rentaro begins to evacuate the civilians. However, Shougen approaches him and, grabbing him by the neck, tells him not to get in his way. Rentaro, on the contrary, says that he's the one getting in his way to protecting the innocent. Before they can finish their conversation, Enju passes in front of them and kills a Gastrea, shocking Kayo. Rentaro and Shougen, standing by their Initiators, ready their weapons for battle.
