**Gozu Sontara (**ゴズ ソンタラ Sontara Gozu**):** is an extremely famous and powerful Deputy Military Adviser of the Military Army. He is the father of Lyla Sontara, as well as the foster grandfather of Hino Sontara and all of the other foster children of Lyla's orphanage. Notably, Gozu was offered the rank of General several times throughout his career, but he refused the offer of promotion every time.

Gozu is one of the major figures, along with Chairman Mirai, along with several others who were once considered the strongest fighters in the world from the times when they were in their prime.

## Appearance

Gozu is a tall and muscular man with wavy grey hair, with some of it being styled into a ponytail in the back. He has a bearded chin-strap and green-colored eyes, one of which is covered by a black eye-patch.

Gozu's outfit consists of the protective outer jacket, which he wears over his shoulders, a white collared shirt, dark-colored trousers and boots and a light-colored belt. His protective outer jacket is coated with blue lines and the buttons on it are in shape of cross-like symbols. Leonard's outfit contains patches with "1" on them, to signify his affiliation to his military company

## Personality

Gozu is an eccentric but caring man, who is loyal to both his uncontrollable family and the Military Army Headquarters, who he has served for decades.

Unlike many people, Gozu does not believe that a person's lineage determines their path. On a similar note, he does not believe that being labeled a criminal necessarily makes someone a bad person.

Gozu believes that throwing children into harsh conditions will ultimately make them strong, and has no problem hitting children to drive home a point. Despite this, Gozu is a supportive person.

Although Gozu will ultimately comply with Military HQ's most serious orders, he highly values his freedom and family, often to a point where he bends the rules to accommodate these values.

Like Hino, Gozu is extremely blunt and honest when talking to people, as seen when he openly badmouthed the current kings of the kingdoms, unafraid of the consequences in doing so. He considers the kings scumbags and is not afraid of expressing this aloud. The main reason he refused to become a General is because he does not want to be their direct subordinate.

Gozu wanted his grandsons to become military officers to follow in his footsteps rather then become hunters and tried desperately to keep them from following that path.

, he entrusted their care to his daughter whom he had refused to train for military service.
