Tatewaki Katase

Tatewaki Katase (片瀬帯刀, Katase Tatewaki) is a general and the leader of the Japan Liberation Front.

Character Outline
Being a former military officer of Japan, Katase is a respectable and compotenet general. His leadership skills was able to hold off Cornelia and the Britannian Military when the JLF were outnumbered and outmatched until Tohdoh and the Four Holy Swords arrived.

First Season
Katase first appears during the Battle of Narita trying to fend off the attacks made by Cornelia and her forces. He continues to hold off until Tohdoh returns along with the Four Holy Swords with the hopes that he will be able to make another miracle out of this battle. As they are losing forces, Zero and The Black Knights appear and use the Guren Mk-II to create a landslide that destroys most of the Britannian forces. Eventually, Tohdoh appears with the Burai Kai and tells Katase to let all the remaining forces help him. However, The Black Knights retreat leaving Katase and the JLF to fend for themselves. This forces Tohdoh to give the order to fall back and take General Katase to safety.

Katase was able to retreat from the battle along with the remaining members of the JLF to Port Yokosuka on a freighter. But, the Britannian Military found their location and another battle ensues. Meanwhile, Lelouch plants a bomb under the freighter which later denotates it, killing Katase and the rest of the Japan Liberation Front that were with him.
