koumiishi alpha

Director Alpha is an A7M1 model, being the first in the A7 series, which is why she is also called "Alpha." Robots typically inherit their names from their owners, suggesting that Sensei or one of her relatives might have owned Alpha. Interestingly, Alpha wears a pendant identical to Sensei's. Kokone mentions that the A7M1 is also known as "the Phantom," though the origin and meaning of this nickname remain unclear. Beyond these details, little is known about her background or purpose.

Currently, Director Alpha serves as the director of Taapon, a stratospheric aircraft that orbits the Earth, monitoring global changes from above. It is hinted that she will be its last living passenger due to her non-aging nature, unlike the rest of the crew who age normally.

Director Alpha shares a strong mental connection with Alpha Hatsuseno, although neither seems aware of this bond.
