## Biography

### *Soukyuu no Fafner Exodus*

Mitsugu goes to pick up Kyousuke Mizoguchi with a boat after the battle with the Festum and spots a huge Festum behind Kyousuke. The duo manage to return safely and Mitsugu states that they are lucky to be alive when they see Saki Masaoka who scolds Kyousuke. He tries to make fun of Saki which causes Mitsugu to laugh. He later brings the Human Army soldiers to see Kazuki Makabe on the orders of his father.

Mitsugu is watching the interviews in Ryouhei Douma's restaurant along with the other soldiers. Ryouhei wonders if Mitsugu is joining the expedition to which he responds that he is staying behind due to being on duty at Takerujima. He then awkwardly laughs when Ryouhei states to marry his daughter and is surprised to see Hiroto Douma being part of the expeditionary force.

### *Soukyuu no Fafner The Beyond*

Mitsugu is on the L-Boat during the Fifth Operation Azure. He tells Kyousuke Mizoguchi that they received orders from R-Boat to commence the operation. Mitsugu is at the CDC on the island when the expeditionary force comes back with Soushi Minashiro. He states that there are no casualties and comments that they took their revenge from what happened three years ago.

Mitsugu wonders if they should use the Thunderstrike on Mark Nicht, who is being piloted by Soushi and attacking the island, and Fumihiko Makabe orders to not attack until the system requests it as he enters the room with Kenji Kondou. He then asks Kenji if Soushi was assimilated by the enemy to which he responds that he thinks that they are the enemy. The battle ends with a victory for the pilots and Mitsugu complains about the fact that Soushi attacked them by using Mark Nicht to which Fumihiko states that they will make him realize why he has been brought back. Not happy about bringing in a potential enemy, Mitsugu angrily stares into the distance and lets out a big sigh when Kyousuke Mizoguchi places his hand on his shoulder. Mitsugu is one of the soldiers who barge in Soushi's room when Maris Excelsior tries to take him away.

Mitsugu launches with his team in their jets to fight against Benon. Thanks to Ashoka's leaves coating, his jet remains unharmed by the worm spheres but then gets chased by the one of the enemy's Fafner. He sees Shouhei Kishi getting killed by the enemy and angrily starts to attack the swarm. The day after the battle, Mitsugu finds the photo that was in Shouhei's cockpit and gives it to Kenji who gives it to Fei Kishi. He later attends the funeral and blames Soushi for given information away to the enemy since he doesn't want to give the location of Tatsumiyajima. Soushi bites back and Mitsugu angrily walks away with Saki Masaoka and Mai Douma following him. Later that night, Mitsugu is part of the team that greets Maris Excelsior. During the execution of the Second Plan L, Mitsugu is at the CDC and warns that the enemy is going around the shield to follow the boat. The crew manages to return safely to Wadatsumijima and Mitsugu apologizes to Soushi after he and Miwa Hino figured out that the enemy is tracking them through Rina Nishio.

Mitsugu joins the pre-operation party with everyone else. The Sixth Operation Azure ends in their success and Mitsugu goes to Ryouhei Douma's restaurant on Tatsumiyajima with him and Mai, seeing Hiroto's poster. Several days later, Mitsugu goes with Maya and Saki to greet Alexandra Gallop. A month later, Mitsugu attends the Tanabata Festival and watches the lanterns. Several days later, Mitsugu is at the CDC when Kazuki Makabe and Kouyou Kasugai depart from Tatsumiyajima.
