Yoshika Miyafuji

The protagonist of the series, age fourteen (later fifteen) and hailing from the Fusō Empire. A typical young girl who comes from a family of clinicians who use their magic powers to heal people. Yoshika gains the features of a mame-shiba when using said power. Her father designed the Striker Units the Strike Witches use to fight. However, because her father died in the war she is vehemently against fighting when Mio Sakamoto appears to recruit her. Only after entering combat for the first time, helping to defend the Fusō fleet heading to Britannia from a Neuroi attack, she decides to join the 501st. Now she holds the rank of Sergeant. Yoshika has a talent for cooking, but tends to care more about her food's health benefits than its taste, such as when she introduced the other Witches to nattō. Carries a type 99 aircraft cannon along with a M712 in battle. Her Striker Unit is modeled after the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, later a Kyushu J7W "Shinden" in Season 2 and she is based on the ace Kaneyoshi Mutō. At the end of Season 2, Yoshika loses all of her magical powers whilst stopping the Neuroi threat in Romania, where she is promoted to Pilot Officer. However, during the course of the movie, she manages to regain her powers and reunite with her teammates
