Blissful Ignorance

Sousuke Sagara was saved as a child from a crashed Boeing 747 jetliner in the North Pacific by then Spetznaz officer, Andrei Kalinin. His age at this time was approximately 2 or 3 years old. The Soviet nuclear submarine's rescue action was unauthorized, and later officially denied. Officially there was no Soviet involvement, and thus no rescue operation nor survivors. Kalinin's efforts to locate living relatives of the child also failed, as no record of a passenger named "Sagara" existed. It remains unknown if Sagara is the maiden name of Sousuke's mother, or the name written upon the child's clothing is the child's real name. [3] According to the Full Metal Panic anime first season, his birthday is 07/07/1984.
