Ozu (died 800 AS) was a Blood Dragon lieutenant and an ally of freelancer Edison Trent in his quest for the Proteus Tome. Ozu flew a specialized Dragon fighter with vastly more powerful hardware than what would normally be possible with such a ship. He, along with Trent and Lord Hakkera of the Order, led the assault upon Tekagi's decoy convoy and later, on Tekagi's Heaven's Gate fortress in the remote and nearly inaccessable Tohoku system. Trent and Ozu infiltrated Tekagi's base and disarmed his guards, trying to enter his private library to retrieve the Tome. However, Governor Tekagi had laid a trap for any potential infiltrators and both men were knocked out with gas. They then awoke at the mercy of the Governor, who after a brief conversation with Trent fatally wounded Ozu. Tekagi then revealed the truth of Trent's quest by showing his possessed state and attempted to interrogate Trent and likely impregnate him with Nomad offspring. However, Hakkera had arrived in the nick of time in his specialized Dagger ship, and rescued Trent, distracting Tekagi long enough for Ozu to heroically, though suicidally detonate a hidden bomb in the fortress, destroying the base, reducing himself, Tekagi and his Nomad controller to subatomic particles, just as Hakkera and Trent escape from the base before it violently exploded.

Ozu was remembered as a Blood Dragon hero and a hero of Sirius who helped set in motion the temporary defeat of the Nomads.
