Artistic Forces/Kyoudai Gundan

The Kyoudai Gundan is one of the bonus factions of Artistic Forces.

Name
The name Kyoudai Gundan (hiragana: きょうだいぐんだん, kanji: 兄弟軍団) possibly translates to the "Brother Corps", "Brother Legion", or "Brother Army" in Japanese. Etymologically, while Gundan commonly means "corps" or "army", the Japanese term Kyoudai also applies to female siblings or sisters. However, this is contrary to another Japanese term for "sister": Shimai, which is used for a title of the all-female Josei Guntai under the alias called the Shimai Kankei. So this faction is a gender-swapped counterpart of Josei Guntai in an etymological sense. Kyoudai is followed by another Japanese term for "Army" or "Corps": Gundan, which considerably fits for this faction's military as it has ground, naval, and air forces that are modeled after those of Japan Self-Defense Forces, the real-life military forces that influenced the Rising Sun Self-Defense Force and Josei Guntai. As a result, both of these Japanese terms possibly fit the inspirations of this faction, most especially the Frateris Templar from Warhammer 40k, Touken Danshi from Touken Ranbu, and of course the Japanese youth culture.
