The Panther Commander is a student from Kuromorimine Girls Academy. As her denomination suggests, she commands one of the school's Panzer V Panther Tank. Appearance-wise, the Panther Commander is a medium-sized girl with medium-length light brown hair and grey eyes. When not wearing the Kuromorimine school uniform, she is seen wearing the Kuromorimine Sensha-dō jacket and hat with a burgundy-colored bandanna tied around her neck. In the anime, she is shown to have an ahoge, but it is noticeably missing in the spinoff manga. Like most of her fellow commanders, she is cool, collected and efficient when following a plan. Unfortunately, she is terrible at dealing with unexpected events, issuing conflicting orders and disregarding her original mission goals. She is prone to panicking under stress, exclaiming and actually stomping on her gunner's shoulders when she realized they had an enemy tank in her team's midst. She may also be a bit of a pessimist, as she believed that Maho had summoned them for a review meeting. However, she expressed unbridled joy when the review meeting ended up being a genuine Christmas Party. The Panther Commander expresses anger and fury whenever she is reminded of a Hetzer. Like several of her counterparts, she has been traumatized by her experience and seeks revenge against its crew. Seems to be pretty good friends with the Jagdpanther, Maus and Panzer III commanders as they can be seen exchanging friendship chocolates and go looking for Erika together. Looks up to Maho Nishizumi, stating that she was Japan's best when it came to Sensha-dō.

"Senshadou" is a traditional sport using World War II era tanks in elimination-based matches. Widely practiced by women and girls alike, it's advertised as a form of art geared towards making ladies more prominent in culture and appealing to men. Becoming a worldwide phenomenon over time, the influence of senshadou leads to the creation of a world championship which will soon be held in Japan. Miho Nishizumi, who comes from a lineage of well-respected senshadou specialists, is at odds with the sport after a traumatic event led to her retirement and eventually a rift to form between her and her family. To steer clear of the practice as much as possible, she transfers to Ooarai Girls High School where the senshadou program has been abolished. However, with the news of the upcoming championships, the school revives their tankery program, and Miho is pushed into joining. Now, with the aid of some new friends, she must overcome her past and once again take command of a squadron of tanks in an effort to save her school from closure, all while proving to her family that the Nishizumi-style of senshadou is not solely about victory.
