A gunsmith in Mihama Academy's second-year mechanical engineering class. An expert in both metalwork and plastics, Yamamoto handles almost all of the firearms and ammunition used by Mihama students, whose guns are updated with new QR tags every time she carries out maintenance work.

Every now and then you can find her zoned out and thrashing away at her air guitar, while a thumping beat blasts through her headphones.

Following the Heath Oslo incident, the existence of the US-Japanese anti-terror organization CIRS has become a matter of public knowledge. CIRS has been rebuilt from the ground up, and its most covert functions spun off to a new agency: SORD (Social Ops, Research & Development). 
 
The goal of SORD is to train a new generation of operatives to defend the country against future threats. To that end, the organization has established a series of schools up and down the country. Mihama Academy, more-or-less left to rot after its abrupt closure, has been given new purpose as one such 'specialist training school'. 
 
This new incarnation of Mihama Academy is home to a diverse group of students, who every day work to polish their unusual skills - sometimes on the job. Mihama now entrusts the misfit girls who attend it with guns and live ammunition. Paying their own safety no heed, these students are again and again plunged into dangerous extrajudicial missions - all for the good of the realm.
