The female commander of Urisu base. She used to be active as an ace pilot, but now she has withdrawn from the battlefront and has taken the position of leading the base as a commander.

Her periodically uncontrollable tide of emotions are linked to Yuuichi's lost memories. "She gave birth to a child." "She murdered Yuuichi's predecessor." There are many rumors flying around about Suito, but her comrades refuse to talk much about her past.
