The Analyzer has various interesting abilities, such as extending its arms or throwing enemy tanks. In addition, he has a flirtatious nature because he likes to tease Yuki on various occasions.
6. Daisuke Shima
Next, there is Susumu's best friend named Daisuke Shima. He served as the chief navigator and driver of the Yamato. His skills as a wheeler are extraordinary, but he often lacks self-confidence.
Apart from that, Daisuke also often gets into heated arguments with Susumu. Even though they don't seem very close, their friendship gradually becomes very strong. They have mutual respect for one another.
5. Shirou Sanada
Shirou Sanada is a science officer on the Yamato ship who is very intelligent and dedicated. He often acts as the second in command on the ship because he can make wise decisions.
Shirou often brings out brilliant ideas that can save the Yamato ship from various critical situations. Despite this, Shirou feels very guilty because he couldn't save Mamoru's ship from being destroyed.
4. Yuki Mori
Next, there is a beautiful girl named Yuki Mori. She held an important position aboard the Yamato as a radar operator. In addition, she is in charge of managing computer calculations and searching for planets that can provide food resources.
In the story, Yuki seems interested in Susumu Kodai. However, she seemed reluctant to admit those feelings out of pride. She also often gets into funny moments when she's with the Analyzer.

2. Susumu Kodai
Susumu Kodai lost both of his parents during the explosion caused by the Gamilas attack. He was forced to follow in his brother's footsteps to join the Earth Defense Force. Because he is young, he often acts recklessly and is short-minded.
Gradually, Susumu begins to mature after he is entrusted by Okita to hold the position of captain Yamato. He also tried his best so that his crew could survive the battle against Gamilas
1. Juuzou Okita
Juuzou Okita really deserves to be called the best character in the story Spaceship Battleship Yamato. He is able to act as a great ship captain and is able to inspire the entire crew.
