Burai

The Burai (無頼, lit. Rascal) is a remodeled version of the Glasgow manufactured by the Kyoto House and used by the Black Knights and the Japan Liberation Front. It is basically the same as a Glasgow, except for the head, which has fang-like cheekbones which give the appearance of an oni. It also features a torso-mounted antipersonnel machine gun. Its hands have also been refurbished so that they can guard, a feature exclusive to the Burai. Lelouch pilots a customized unit with a red head module and golden horns resembling those on a samurai's helmet. Like the Sutherland, variants exist including close combat and electronic warfare types.

History
Though Japan is easily conquered by the Holy Britannia Empire, it is forced to surrender by the sudden death of Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi at a point when the military is still eager to fight. As a result, even seven years later when the renamed Area 11 is firmly under Britannian control, the region is a hotbed of resistance as former soldiers and Japanese nationals fight back as best they can. One method of resistance is provided by the Kyoto House, a group of Japanese industrialists who fund and support anti-Britannia groups in secret. Using their resources, the Kyoto House constructs the Type-10R Burai, a Knightmare Frame heavily cannibalized from the RPI-11 Glasgow. The biggest changes to the Glasgow's design is the addition of a samurai-styled head and protectors, small shield-like bracers that allow the Burai to defend against enemy attacks. Initially developed for the Japanese Liberation Front, the Burai is later sent to the rising Order of the Black Knights, with one customized unit piloted by Zero, the Order's mysterious masked leader.
