Hayate Immelman

Hayate Immelman is the main protagonist of Macross Delta. He joined Delta Flight, where he developed his signature maneuver, the "Immelman Dance".
Hayate possesses "fold receptors" that not only make him immune to the Var Syndrome, but also enhance his combat abilities when stimulated, which usually happens when his receptors synchronize with Freyja Wion's when she sings.
