Like most of the children on Tatsumiya Island, Kazuki had no idea the earth was under invasion and strives throughout the series to understand why the adults hid this from him, and especially, why his estranged childhood friend [Soushi](https://anilist.co/character/1613) is so willing to do whatever it takes to defend their humble island.

He turns out to be an amazing fighter when he's unceremoniously tossed into the middle of a war he didn't know was raging, but fighting is never a thing of central importance to him. He turns out to be surprisingly kind and sincere, even if he rarely lets other people inside the walls he built around himself. Naturally, to someone with such a gentle nature, having to fight for his life constantly is a bewildering experience that causes him to question who he is and what he believes in.

Living with only his father, [Fumihiko](https://anilist.co/character/1616), he does all the cooking and shopping and thus is an excellent chef. His mother, [Akane](https://anilist.co/character/191398), was assimilated by Festum long ago.

He also seems to be very bad at card games as he's too honest to be good at bluffing.

Tatsumiyajima is the central island in the middle of a small cluster of islands, in a sleepy backwater of the Japanese isles. Not much happens there, and the island's young people go to school knowing that their lives are likely to remain peaceful and undisturbed. Or so they have been taught... but the truth is different. The fate of mankind is on the line, and Tatsumiyajima is the last line of defense against a hostile and incomprehensible enemy. At the center of it all, fighting for Humanity's continued existence, is the giant robot Fafner, the dragon that guards this final treasure of mankind.

2150 AD. The battle against the silicon-based Festums from outer space reaches a new phase. Fragments of the North Pole Mir were scattered throughout the world. Eventually, they began to act on their own as independent Mirs. Most hated humanity and attacked them, but some chose to coexist with mankind. Some with the same way of thinking existed within the human race, as well: those who were both human and Festum. They added to the chaos of the battle and brought about even more hatred.
