Himeyagi Research Institute

The Himeyagi Research Institute is an institute in Prostudent Good that research robotics, specifically into the field of mechs. It was started by Himeyagi Daigo and is financially solvent thanks to the backing of the current government in Japan.

After the events of the game it either went two ways: Either the aliens are gone and it will focus on infinite wave energy, getting rid of any pilots. This is because giant mechs are seen to be dangerous superweapons and Japan doesn't want the diplomatic liability. The other is that the aliens will continue to invade for at least 100 years, meaning that the work can continue as is.

Member profiles
This lists the members without a profile, the ones with one are listed below.

Himeyagi Daigo He's the head of the institute and the father of Himeyagi Shion. He's an eccentric researcher who is dedicated to making mechs, something that he dreamed of when he watched mecha anime as a kid. He has some odd ways of recruiting pilots. An otaku and somewhat of a lolicon, he'll take any chance to sexually harass teens. He really only wants young female pilots.

Minako She handles base support and communications. As an older woman she's completely safe from Daigo. Appreciated by the crew.

The Androids They are androids capable of controlling support mechs, they aren't particularly strong and are used as rank filler. Android Green takes over Shion's old mech (Playmay Delta). They are always ready to be send out.
