Moon Demon Company

The Moon Demon Company is an elite military group that is famous as a vampire extermination unit. It is commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Guren Ichinose. Squad leaders include Sergeant Shinoa Hiragi and Sergeant Makoto Narumi. They work in squads of five or more because numbers smaller than that typically result in casualties. This company emphasizes teamwork and encourages its members to think of each other as family.

Their weapons include mass-produced Cursed Gear, Cursed Gear (including four bearers of the Black Demon Series), drugging up, and spellcraft.

Trivia

 * Although Guren Ichinose is only a lieutenant colonel and is therefore ranked lower than a colonel, he commands colonels Mito Jujo and Norito Goshi.
 * Guren and his squad members have been on the same squad since they were 15, which is one year before the apocalypse occurred.
 * Promotions in rank in the Japanese Imperial Demon Army are often due to family status rather than success in battle or qualifications.
