Shunpei Kirino

Lieutenant Kirino was a member of the United Airforce Overtech Hardware division, and the original pilot of the Red Puncher. Due to attempting to operate it while it was incomplete, he perished and the Red Puncher was buried, something that the U.A.O.H was content to allow given the tragedy. However, Goro Hoshino later uncovered the machine and, after being visited by Kirino's spirit, employed it in battle against the Machine Empire Baranoia.
