"I matched our numbers to the number of tanks you had. Because that's Sensha-dō! This isn't war. The tanks would be sad if we forgot that."
―Kay

Kay (ケイ, Kei) is one of the supporting characters of Girls und Panzer.

Profile[]

Kay is a student from Saunders University High School. She is the overall commander of her school's Sensha-dō team and she operates a U.S. M4 Sherman.

Appearance[]

Kay is a girl with long blonde hair and a pair of light blue eyes. Like all Saunders' students she wears the school's uniform, save for the jacket, with a loosened tie and with the sleeves rolled up and a pair of long, white stockings in place of the usual short grey ones worn by the other schoolgirls.

Personality[]

Kay is well known for her playful and slightly abrasive personality, often appearing boastful and rude, though it is obvious that she is really friendly and well-intentioned. Unlike her teammates, especially Alisa, she has a strong sense of fair play and sportsmanship, and refused to field all of her tanks in a counterattack during the match with Ooarai after she discovered Alisa's treachery. This decision ultimately lost Saunders the match, but Kay didn't seem disappointed or upset in the slightest when defeated, showing that while she obviously loves Panzerfahren, she doesn't take it or herself quite as seriously as some of the other commanders. She plays for fun, not necessarily to win at all costs.

Background[]

Kay leads the Saunders Sensha-dō team against Ooarai Girls Academy during the first round of the Sensha-Dō competition. Her strategy was to hide their flag tank, but unfortunately it was found by Ooarai's Duck Team who lured it into an ambush. The ambush then turned into a hot pursuit when Ooarai's tanks chased Saunders' flag tank, while Saunders' Shermans intervened and tried to hit Ooarai's tanks. In the end, Ooarai's Anglerfish Team managed to hit the Saunders' flag tank by firing from high ground just before being taken out by Naomi's Sherman Firefly.

Quotes[]
