Komatarou is a Komainu and former guardian of an old Archives building on behalf of the True Cross Order.

Appearance

Komatarou is a a small white lion-dog creature with curly tufts of fur, pointed ears and round black eyes topped with prominent curly eyebrows. While employed as a guardian he wears a collar with a pin of the True Cross insignia, and later trades it out for a bow tie.

Personality

Despite appearing to be a dog, Komatarou is a dignified and resolute character who takes his job very seriously to the point where he has no hobbies. He appears to be highly respected by other members of the Order, some even communicating with him via radio to ask his advice.

History

Before encountering Yukio Okumura, Komatarou had acted as a True Cross Knight for forty-two years. During this time, he also had someone make him a business card.

Synopsis

Komatarou is first encountered by Yukio Okumura outside the aged Archive building. Whilst originally there to give him a Dismissal Notification, upon observing Komatarou's dedication to his work, Yukio cannot bring himself to give him the letter. Turning to leave, Komatarou saves Yukio from treading on landmines he had set up in the area. With the letter being caught in the blast, it is burned open, allowing Komatarou to read the contents and discover the truth of Yukio's visit. Accepting this situation, he retires without argument.

He later sends Yukio a letter with photos detailing his exciting hobbies following his retirement, including surfing, barbeques, hanging around with other Komainu and driving in a sports car with beautiful women.

Powers & Abilities

Physical Power: Despite being the size of a mid-sized dog, Komatarou possess impressive physical attributes, being able to jump at least five meters straight up and possess impressive longevity, living with seemingly undiminished vitality for several decades rather than the relatively short lifespan of the average canine.

Human Speech: Despite appearing as a dog, Komatarou is perfectly capable of human speech.
