Shimako is the eldest daughter of the Kai family, a Samurai family which is strict about tradition. She is usually calm and mild-mannered. At Yamayuri, Shimako becomes Yui's best friend, with them always go to and from school together. But sometimes she can act more like a subordinate to gain Yui's respect, rather than a close friend.

~!Shimako had romantic feelings for her childhood friend, Yui. She knew that given their positions, she would never be able to admit these feelings. Before her deployment, she quietly bid her family goodbye and asked for their forgiveness. Thinking of Yui, she said that she would follow her anywhere regardless of whether her feelings were ever requited. She gazed longingly at her school uniform, forlornly wishing that those pleasant days would never end.!~ 

Since 1973, an invasion of aliens known as BETA upon Earth is driving human civilization into nearly collapse. Facing an enormous mass of enemy force, mankind has developed large humanoid arms called as Tactical Surface Fighters and deployed them to its defense lines through out the world. However, all those efforts could slow down defeats but could not stop BETA, and mankind is forced to abandon major area of the Eurasian Continent. For 30 years, mankind is bogged down in an endless war against BETA without any hopes of victory. 
In 2001, the Imperial Japan faces difficulties in the development of a next-generation main Tactical Surface Fighters (TSF) as it defends the front lines of the Far East. The UN has proposed a joint development program between the Imperial Japan and the United States as a part of its international mutual development project of TSF, the Prominence Project. 
Yui Takamura, a surface pilot of the Imperial Royal Guards of Japan, is given responsibility for the project and sets off to Alaska. Meanwhile, Yuya Bridges, also a surface pilot of the US Army, was heading to the same destination. 
Yet they never knew that their encounter would change their destiny drastically. 
This story with exciting human dramas and robot actions takes place in the development of a new Tactical Surface Fighters, the most important and effective weapons against BETA, at a crisis of human extinction.
