A Britannian-Eleven girl, who believes herself to be a Japanese person at heart. Before the Britannia Empire conquered Area 11, Kallens original name was Karen Kouzuki. She comes from a prestigious family and attends the Ashford Academy where she receives outstanding grades while serving as a member of its Student Council. When away from the Academy, she fights as an anti-Britannian operative. Also, Kallen helped organize the Black Knights. Her brother, Naoto Kouzuki, with whom she had a deep connection, was a former leader of her resistance cell before his death. Both Kallens stepmother, a Britannian, and biological mother live with her in the same house, but her biological mother is employed as a maid and is often mistreated by both her stepmother and Kallen herself. After her biological mother is arrested for using Refrain (a fictional drug which lets people think theyre reliving the past), Kallen changes her views and decides to fight against the Britannian Empire not only for her brother, but to fulfill her new wish for a world in which she can live happily with her biological mother. Frail and meek, this aspect of Kallens character was used as a public front to mask her true nature as well as hide her involvement in the resistance. Kallen leads a double life as a normal Britannian student and as a member of a guerrilla resistance group against Britannia, which is later reformed into the Order of the Black Knights by Lelouch Lamperouge. In school, she portrays herself as a weak-bodied high school student who obeys all of the formalities, and goes by her Britannian name of Stadtfeld. However, her personality changes in to a very strong-willed and forceful one when she acts as a resistance fighter. As a running gag, Kallen ends up nude or immodestly dressed in front of other people on numerous occasions Lelouch sees her naked after she pulls back a shower curtain in surprise in the third episode, Suzaku sees her bathing under a waterfall when they are stranded on Kaminejima, she is forced to dress in an immodest bunny costume at the start of the second season (to plant a tracking device on Lelouch), and she walks in on a meeting between C.C. and the Chinese ambassadors wearing only a towel when intending to complain about the previous situation to C.C. (claiming that the operation wouldve gone faster if C.C. was wearing the outfit). In an interview reported by the anime magazine Newtype USA, seiyu Ami Koshimizu talked about the difficulty of voicing Kallen because of the double life that her character leads. Certain aspects of Kallens character such as her girlish naivete and competitiveness made it easy for the voice actress to relate, even to the point of admitting that in some ways they act very much the same.
Kallen breaks into the Avalon and attempts to kill Lelouch, with tears in her eyes as she does so, but is stopped by C.C. Kallen easily defeats C.C. and, with the help of Gino, proceeds to the Damocles for a final confrontation with Suzaku.After a fierce battle, Kallen manages to land a decisive blow on the Lancelot before losing consciousness. Gino rescues her while the Lancelot explodes.
When he doesnt react, she bids him farewell. Lelouch does the same once she can no longer hear him. After the Black Knights side with Schneizel, Gino agrees to fight despite that he would be going against Britannia, telling Kallen that he understands her feelings a little. Kallen is stationed in the front lines. She breaks away from the mainline to try and reach Lelouch but is called back.
After the war, she is taken along with many others who rebelled against Lelouch to be publicly executed, where she witnesses Lelouch's death by Suzaku disguised as Zero. Understanding Lelouch's plan, she screamed as Lelouch was stabbed. However, she still stated with Tohdoh that Suzaku was "Zero."
After his death, Kallen became a member of the same guerilla resistance group against Britannia, which would later be reformed into the Order of the Black Knights by Lelouch vi Britannia several years later.Her father is a Britannian noble who comes from a prestigious family. Since his legal wife, Mrs. Stadtfeld, could not bear any children, Mr. Stadtfeld requested Ms. Kōzuki to adopt Kallen into his household as his heir formally.
Since her daughter would benefit from being a Britannian noble, Ms. Kōzuki accepted his request without Kallen's consent, much to her displeasure. Though Stadtfeld's wife ordered her never to see her daughter again, Ms. Kōzuki refused, fighting hard to be hired as a maid in the Stadtfelds' household to remain by her daughter's side, something that Kallen was unaware of at that time.Both Kallen's stepmother and mother live with her in the same house.
Kallen receives an upgrade for the Guren Mk-II, giving it flight capabilities and an upgraded radiation arm. During the Black Knights attempted kidnapping of Empress Tianzi, Kallen is captured by Li Xingke in his Shenhu. Lelouch, visibly stunned, swears that hell rescue her. Touched by Lelouchs words, Kallen calmly waits for him.After the High Eunuchs turn to Schneizel el Britannia for military support, Kallen is turned over to Suzaku along with the Guren.
She sacrifices her Knightmare in return for helping her earlier against Jeremiah to allow Lelouch to escape, despite not knowing who he is. She can flee after ejecting, meeting up with Ohgi and the rest of the resistance. However, the Britannian Military found where they were hiding. When the commander was just about to issue the order to fire, the Viceroy, Clovis la Britannia, charges a ceasefire saved Kallen and the others.After this incident, Kallen returns to school for the time being.
After Lelouch's declaration that Britannia will join the UFN, Kallen escorts him to the meeting, giving orders to the Black Knights beforehand to gun her down if she appears to be under the influence of Geass. Lelouch gets her to take the long route, giving them the chance to speak in private. Kallen recounts their history, then asks Lelouch what he intends to gain by becoming Emperor, as well as what she means to him. Lelouch remains silent, so she kisses him to show her feelings.
She dodges it, and the bomb hits the government building, destroying a fair portion of the Tokyo Settlement.After Kallen returns to the Black Knights and Zero's identity is revealed, she tries to defend him. When the others don't listen, she asks what she means to him, expressing a willingness to die then and there as long as it's with him.
She is sent back to prison in Area 11 and subsequently transferred into a more comfortable solitary cell by Nunnally. Later on, Suzaku approaches her after Shirleys death, intending to use the drug Refrain to find out if Lelouch has become Zero once again, but cannot bring himself to do it because he refuses to stoop to Lelouchs level. In retaliation, she beats him severely during their next meeting when Suzaku tries to apologize.
Kallen appears early in the first episode, driving a truck with C.C.s capsule, and attempts to fight off Jeremiahs Purist Faction using a Glasgow. Aft
Two months after Lelouchs death, Kallen has forgiven him since she understood his plan completely. She narrates the changing world thanks to him. She is living with her mother in a Japanese town who appears to have recovered from refrain addiction. Kallen still attends Ashford Academy since Lelouch wanted her to return there but has thrown away her softcover, signified by her going to school with her proper hairstyle and the Gurens key around her neck while still a member of the Black Knights.
During the second battle of Tokyo, Kallen is rescued from captivity and returned to the Guren (complete with a pilot suit brought by Sayoko). Using the new Guren, she decimates the Britannian forces. She then fights Suzaku, easily breaking through his defenses and bringing him to the brink of death. In doing so, however, she activates his Geass command, forcing him to survive by firing the F.L.E.I.J.A. bomb.
Lelouch, thinking that he had lost everyone he held dear to him, refused to have her die with him and lies and calls her a tool, but then whispers that she should live on without him within earshot.Following Lelouchs escape, Kallen tries to protest how Ohgi and the others have discarded Zero so readily despite all that he has done for them. However, they refuse to listen, still angered at the idea that they merely used as pawns.
During the battle, Kallen realizes that her mother decided to stay in the Stadtfeld household to be with her and calls herself a fool for not recognizing her mother's love towards her. After losing her Glasgow, Zero gives Kallen the newly-developed Guren Mk-II to replace it.Due to the immense growth in Black Knights, Zero announces the chain of command and gives Kallen the position of being captain of the Zero Squad, Zero's force.
After Scheizel's unexpected appearance with the Avalon at the Shikine Island battle, Kallen appears to be alive and found by Suzaku, who arrests her for being a member of the Black Knights. They spent time together discussing their life and Ashford until things became heated talking about their ideas, only to be shocked by the truth of Genbu's assassination and that Suzaku is willing to atone for it. The following day, Kallen and Suzaku run into Zero and Euphemia.
With the formation of the Black Knights and Zeros increasing number of victories over the Britannian forces, Kallen comes to admire him greatly. During one of the Black Knights operations to stop the drug distribution, Refrain, Kallen notices her mother as one of the people using it. She attempts to save her using her Glasgow, but a corrupted member of the Britannian police force employs a Knightpolice to kill Kallen.
One year later, Kallen is still part of the Black Knights, but due to revealing her identity has had to leave Ashford Academy. Her memory was one of those erased from Lelouch's mind by Charles Zi Britannia, although the other students are still aware of her existence. Along with C.C., she is one of the first members to know Zero's identity and secret power, bringing up to speed by C.C. in the interim.During the operation to kidnap Nunnally vi Britannia, Kallen was transported to Area 11.
She dodges it, and the bomb hits the government building, destroying a fair portion of the Tokyo Settlement.After Kallen returns to the Black Knights and Zeros identity is revealed, she tries to defend him. When the others dont listen, she asks what she means to him, expressing a willingness to die then and there as long as its with him.
As the Black Knights move to assist with stopping the rebellion within Emperor Charles forces, Kallen thinks to herself that Lelouch needs to live, as she cannot move on before getting an answer to her question. When Lelouch is crowned as the Emperor, Kallen and the rest of the Black Knights are visibly stunned.

She returns to class with a fake persona of a frail girl. After Lelouch discovers that Kallen, one of the terrorists he helped in Shinjuku Ghetto, attends the same school, he attempts to confirm his suspicions. However, Lelouchs unfamiliarity with his Geass causes him to reveal knowledge of the Shinjuku incident to Kallen, leading her to suspect him of being their unknown benefactor.
Kallen appears early in the first episode, driving a truck with C.C.'s capsule, and attempts to fight off Jeremiah's Purist Faction using a Glasgow. After Lelouch gains possession of his Geass from C.C., he takes possession of an enemy Sutherland and helps Kallen to escape the other Knightmare Frames chasing her. He further directs the remaining resistance forces, granting them a decisive advantage until Suzaku Kururugi uses his Lancelot to disable their Knightmares.
Kallen is a young Britannian-Japanese woman who believes herself to be Japanese at heart and prefers her Japanese mother's name. Her mother is an Eleven who stayed with her children for most of their lives. Her brother, Naoto Kōzuki, was a former leader of a resistance organization before his death.

At Ashford Academy, Kallen hid her identity to avoid suspicion, which caused her to change her hairstyle and genuine personality. Whereas usually, Kallen is powerful, confident, willful, and Japanese-favoring. At school, she was a milquetoast, withdrawn, ill girl who didnt speak up very much (the sick part was to hide her recreational activities as a Black Knight).

She witnesses his confrontation with Suzaku and learns about his true identity, the truth about the massacre of SAZ, and his Geass power. Kallen was also shocked to hear that Lelouch admits that he used the Japanese, including her, for his scheme. She flees in shock rather than aiding Lelouch to deal with Suzaku.
After his death, Kallen became a member of the same guerilla resistance group against Britannia, which would later be reformed into the Order of the Black Knights by Lelouch vi Britannia several years later.Her father is a Britannian noble who comes from a prestigious family.

The floor below them collapses, giving Zero and Kallen a chance to escape with the Gawain.At the end of the first season, Kallen reveals her identity to the students of Ashford Academy when the Black Knights occupy it as their base of operations, convincing the student council that Black Knights will not harm them.
