Mamoru Kodai (古代 守 Kodai Mamoru ): the older brother of Susumu Kodai and captain of Missile Ship 17, the Yukikaze, Mamoru sacrifices his life in the first episode to enable Okita's stricken flagship to escape the battlefield, insisting he could not face the souls of his dead comrades if he fled. In fact, it emerged his ship had crash-landed -- in one piece -- on Titan, and he had been captured alive by the Gamilus, but the ship in which he was a prisoner was stricken and crashed on Iscandar, where Queen Starsha healed him. He fell in love with his rescuer and decided to stay on Iscandar, fathering a daughter named Sasha. His Japanese given name means "to protect". He sacrificed his life in Be Forever, Yamato in order to save Heikuro Todo from execution.
Notes[edit | edit source]
Unused Captain Harlock guise
- In Star Blazers the reason for Mamoru (Alex) giving Okita (Avatar) cover fire during the Battle of Pluto was different than the original dialogue. In the Star Blazers, the reasoning was that Okita's ship needed to survive because they have more men aboard.
