Background

A highly-talented and diligent young woman, Sho Tachibana has been training to pilot a Getter Machine since she was old enough to swing a bokken, since she grew up in the Saotome Laboratory. Her path through piloting academy might have been accelerated by the subtle influences of Hayato Jin, but her bravery and obvious skill in the cockpit mean she's decidedly earned her place as the pilot of Neo Jaguar and the head of Neo Getter-2. She's even been to space at a surprisingly young age, having taken up specialist training courses at Texas Colony under Jack and Mary King to deepen her understanding of Neo Getter-2's operation and broaden her tactical skillset.

A young woman of many disciplines, Sho Tachibana will kick your ass and look great doing it; it's little wonder Hayato Jin considers her an exceptional successor.

Resources

Sho is the member of the Neo Getter Team who's always planning and thinking ahead. Give her a problem and she'll solve it. She's a gifted iaido practitioner with military training, so on-foot she's as much a force to be reckoned with as Go is, though usually she's the one watching his back. Her close relationship with the Saotome Labs and familiarity with space travel also give her several inroads and interesting contacts to play around with.

Name Affiliation Relationship Notes Go Ichimonji Neo Getter Team Neo Eagle Pilot, Team Mascot "An idiot. That said, his heart's usually in the right place and he's the one pulling us forward. Captain Jin was right to scout him for Neo Eagle's pilot, even if his approach to piloting Neo Getter is... slapdash." Gai Daido Neo Getter Team Neo Bear Pilot, Wingmate "A friend I would not be alive without, my second-in-command and my wingmate. I know I can always count on him - and on his appetite to put Tokyo-3's restaurants out of business if they don't get advance warning he's coming." Hayato Jin NISAR, Saotome Labs Strategic Captain "I've known him for as long as I can remember. I have absolute faith in him to never steer us wrong. If he says the Dinosaur Empire isn't dead, then we've still got work to do." Jack King Londo Bell, Texas Colony Sensei "The man I trained under at Texas Colony, main pilot of Texas Mack. Taught me how to shoot well in a giant robot. I owe him a debt." Mary King Londo Bell, Texas Colony Best Friend "Mary's a few years older than me but she's the one I clicked with when I went up to Texas Colony for cross-training. She's probably my best friend." Kei NISAR, Saotome Labs My Inspiration "I wasn't the first kid to grow up in the Saotome Labs; Kei paved the way for me, even before that was her name. It's her footsteps I follow in as a pilot, even more so than Captain Jin's." Alouette Pommier 3G Blue Mobile Operator 'Lou-chan "Thinking about being with her makes me feel like I'm flying, even out of Neo Jaguar's cockpit. I look forward to seeing what we can do together."

Sousuke Sagara Jindai High School? Akai Jindai "Sagara has this... disaffection from the rest of Jindai; he treats everything like a mission of dire importance. I can't let Gai meet him, he'd probably break him getting him to 'loosen up'." Emilia Eschonbach Ashford Academy New Friendship "I don't like bullies; sticking up for Emilia was the least I could do. 'New Yark's weakest', though... I don't like the sound of where that's going." Kallen Kozuki Ashford Academy Rival "She wants payback over the Millympic Games, and I'm happy to oblige. She's got a spark in her I recognise. Also: damn. What do they put in the water in Ashford?" C.C. Ashford Academy? what "what."
