Kusunoki

Kusunoki is a middle-aged woman with short red hair.

She wears a white suit and has a mushroom-cut hairstyle.

Her appearance and tone make it tricky to guess her gender at first.

Kusunoki is strict and serious, with a strong sense of responsibility as DA’s commander.

She isn’t cold-hearted but has to make hard choices because the organization doesn’t allow mistakes or leaks.

Even though she follows orders from the higher-ups, she doesn’t always agree with their decisions—especially if they ignore the feelings or safety of Lycoris agents.

Kusunoki is in charge of all Lycoris agents and the commander of DA.

She is trusted by Mika and has a working partnership with him, even if they belong to different branches.

Kusunoki allows the mostly independent LycoReco café to exist and often shares information with Mika, even though he is technically an outsider.

Kusunoki is a highly skilled commander with sharp decision-making abilities.

She has great aim and battle knowledge and can analyze others' skills, like Chisato's, in detail.

She is described as being able to make any tough choice needed to protect DA and its secrets.

With Chisato Nishikigi

Kusunoki often acts critical toward Chisato, especially because Chisato does not always follow the Lycoris mission.

Despite her words, Kusunoki watches over Chisato and cares about her, showing concern in tough situations.

Chisato calls Kusunoki her “fan,” and while they argue, there is respect and love on both sides.

With Mika

Kusunoki and Mika trust each other and exchange information often.

Kusunoki allows Mika, though not in her organization, to stay in touch and support LycoReco.

With Takina Inoue

Kusunoki was involved in Takina’s move to LycoReco.

Viewers think Kusunoki did this because she believed in Takina’s skills, but her true intention isn’t clear.

"This distance makes it hard to shoot Chisato. But other than that... she’s just a cheeky brat."

The Commander of DA

Kusunoki leads DA and gives commands to all Lycoris agents.

She always follows the rules, but isn’t blind to the risks and feelings of her agents.

Tension with Chisato

Every time Kusunoki meets Chisato, she makes sarcastic remarks because Chisato won’t follow orders.

They clash often, but Kusunoki still pays attention to Chisato’s activities.

She even lets her assistant watch Chisato’s talent closely.

Concern for Her Agents

Kusunoki is not just strict—she worries about her team.

When ordered by the upper command to send Chisato into danger, Kusunoki hesitates and shows sadness.

The LycoReco Café

She tolerates the existence of the LycoReco café even though it acts almost independently from DA.

Kusunoki keeps close contact with Mika, a staff member there, to share vital information and help solve problems.

The Lycoris Order

When the truth about Lycoris is revealed to the public, the higher-ups order all Lycoris agents to be eliminated by Lily Bell forces.

Kusunoki secretly sends a rescue request to Café LycoReco to save them, proving her loyalty and care for her agents.

Lily Bell Commander

There is another commander named Yuji Itadori who leads the Lily Bell team.

Itadori holds authority similar to Kusunoki within the organization.

• Kusunoki’s gender is not obvious at first glance because of her looks and voice, though she is officially a woman.
• She has a strict image but shows hidden kindness in her actions.
• The origin of her decisions, especially regarding Takina’s transfer, is still unknown.
