Shunya Kengun

Shunya Kengun is a character from the Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There! series.
== Charactah Account ==
Shunya is the commander of the 4th Combat Regiment in the Special Task Force.
Shunya is known among the Special Task Force for his serious commanding personality. Shunya also seems to favor the use of "shock and awe" and dramatic "shows of force" tactics, as seen in his attack on the ex-Imperial Army bandits at Italica. He also seems to be a fan of the film Apocalypse Now, playing Richard Wagner's Ride of Valkyries from his helicopters during the attack, in direct reference to a scene from the film. Among his rank, he is one of the JSDF officers refer aggressive actions against the Empire to subjugate them from further hostility towards Japan. The best example is he suggested using Napalm bombs on Imperial troops.
After he rescues her from Imperial Army pursuers, Shunya discovers that Beefeater E Caty actually has feelings for him, which Kengun accepts and returns in spite of their considerable age difference. For Beefeater's part, her interest in him is implied to be both because of the rescue, as well as the fact that she is implied in the novels to be a "fathercon" and attracted to older men.
