Kaede Fujieda

is the acting Vice Commander of the Imperial Combat Revue. She was originally Deputy Commander to the short-lived European Star Division.

Personality
A very professional and competent deputy commander. Not much different of her elder sister, she also has a very caring behavior towards the Flower Division.

She sometimes misses her late elder sister, as she sometimes get saddened due to that.

Outside of this, much like Ayame, Kaede has a spontaneous and very carefree side at point of even being sometimes comical as all the other flower division members, but at same time she can be more commanding, serious and even with more attitude than her sister as the vice-commander of the Flower Division, as she showed in the movie that she used a karate chop against one of the antagonist soldiers, or when she talks in a calm manner but quickly changes into a severe leader to maintain the order during the stage plays.

In episode 3, while eating dinner the girls talked about a silent film actress named Tsuwako Tamazusa with horrible voice had lost her acting career when "talking pictures" became popular thus taking her own life and her spirit frequently appears in Studio 13, but to the surprised of many Ogami told the next shooting of The Crimson Lizard will be held at the same place. The next day when Ogami and Kaede watched the ongoing shooting with Sumire at Studio 13, a chandelier suddenly fell but Sumire immediately downplays it and continue her off-script acting as if nothing happened.

In episode 6, Kaede teases Ogami if he still have hungover from naval academy reunion but steps back a bit when the girls of Flower Division running and bumped into him, at the same time asking them where are they going. Later they learned from the Wind Division that the girls are heading towards Sendai as Sakura mistakenly thought to gonna get married, but Ogami assured they wouldn't went that far enough due to railway workers' strike. However the phone rang and told the girls are gonna use the Shougeimaru instead to "rescue" Sakura, in response Kaede called a person to arrange the Flower Division's arrival in Sendai.
