Saji Crossroad (沙慈・クロスロード?) is a fictional character in the Gundam series, Mobile Suit Gundam 00. He is a pushover by nature, but a kind hearted person that tries hard for the ones important to him in his life. The introduction of Celestial Being has affected his life in a way he could never have expected and now possesses a deep hatred for the organization and its Gundam mobile suits.

He is voiced by Miyu Irino.

[edit] Outline

Saji is a resident of Japan; a senior high school student studying aerospace engineering. A gentle person with a submissive personality, he is often pushed around by his overbearing girlfriend Louise Halevy. He and his sister Kinue live in an apartment right next door to that of Gundam Meister Setsuna, who he attempts to socialize with while unaware of the latter's status as a Gundam Meister. Saji and Kinue had been orphaned prior to the start of the series. [1]

Despite his unaggressive nature, Saji has been caught up in the wake of the Gundams' actions. His girlfriend, Louise, lost her left hand and entire family due to an unprovoked attack from the Throne Drei Gundam, thus putting their relationship on 'hiatus'. Later, Kinue, pursuing information on Celestial Being's founder Aeolia Schenberg, was murdered by Ali Al-Saachez to cover up his dealings with Laguna Harvey. As a result, Saji has developed a deep hatred for the Gundams, blaming them for the loss of his loved ones.

Saji makes his first appearance working in space as an engineer after the time skip four years later, in 2312. Upon arriving in space and seeing an unidentified GN unit, Saji notes its particles are green like those of the original Gundams, rather than the imitation GN Drives used by the UN/Federation mobile suits.
