The General Commander-in-Chief, often shortened to Commander, is the highest-ranking military position in the Earth Federation Defense Force, the armed forces of the Earth Federation. The Commander seats at Earth Federation Defense Force Headquarters[1] and leads Earth Federation Defense Command.[3] They are assisted by a deputy.[4]
The post is currently held by General Heikuro Todo,[4] a former civilian official of the United Nations.[5] He believes that the position was once going to be given to his sister, General Shino Todo, the current Director of the Intelligence Department.[6]
Behind the scenes[]
The title of General Commander-in-Chief (統括司令長官, Tōkatsu shirei chōkan) is translated inconsistently in the official English adaptations. In Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Warriors of Love and Be Forever Yamato: REBEL 3199, the shortened form of the title (長官, chōkan) is translated as "Director."[7][6] However, the only time the full title is mentioned in English, it is translated solely as "Commander-in-Chief."[8] On-screen, the shortened form is rendered as "commander".[9]
