Shiratori, Tsukumo

A lieutenant commander in the Space Assault Superior Male Forces of the Anti-Earth Cooperative Federation of the Jovian Realm and Associated Moons and Asteroids, he was the first Jovian that the crew of the Nadesico met. The man was one of two Jovian pilots attacking in Daimajin mecha in "There is No Single Truth". He is revealed in "The Significant Other from a Star Far Away". Tsukumo is the catalyst that spurs the Nadesico to break from the UE and Nergal in pursuit of the Truth. He also looks a hell of a lot like the late Gai Daigoji.

Minato Haruka takes a liking to the man, and he takes a liking to her. Shiratori becomes Jupiter's largest proponent for peace and goes to the Nadesico to work on a treaty. He is killed, though, in "Ubiquitous Righteousness" by Genichiro Tsukiomi in a fashion identical to Gai Daigoji.

In his final moments, he gives Haruka a blood-stained wedding ring.
