Chaa

Chaa is a character from the Angel Beats anime and games.

Chaa acts as the supplier of weapons that the SSS uses. Despite looking like a middle-aged man, he is about the same age as Otonashi and the others attending the Afterlife School. He is the leader of the Guild, which makes weapons out of dirt based on memories of Guild members when they were alive. However, if they have never seen a weapon before, the weapon will not work or will explode catastrophically. He is the fourth member to join the SSS.

In the AWA fics, Chaa is a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Chaa has a darkish-brown hair and the sides of his to his jaw are covered with thick facial hair, and has dark eyes. He wears a bluish-gray jumpsuit with a black strapped belt over a black tank top, black shoes and brown goggles.

Personality
As his appearance suggests, he likes acting toughly and unfriendly. He is behind the first armed revolt that Yuriexperienced and taught her that it was possible to bring firearm weapons into the Afterlife world, such as handguns, grenades, rocket launchers, etc. He was hostile to Yuri at first but she managed to get him to cooperate with her, despite having been a threat to her even greater than Angelherself, since he had firearms, and would not hold back at all in any way. Yuri feared him even to the extent of considering burying him alive in order to make him unable to escape.

Abilities
Due to his knowledge of firearms it is possible that he had intimate knowledge of weapons prior to his death suggesting that either he or his parents has some military training in weaponry.

In the manga, he was the one who showed Yuri, Ōyama and Hinata how he got his gun by molding clay into a single metal part. He told them he molded clay into individual parts based on knowledge of the gun's structure, and assembling them. This consequently led to greater production of such weaponry, to the point of arming SSS members as seen in the anime.
