'''Ben Dixon''' may refer to:
'''Ben Dixon''' is a [[fictional character]] in the [[Robotech]] universe. In the original [[Macross]] version, his name was Hayao Kakizaki.


*[[Ben Dixon (footballer)]], an [[Australian rules]] player with [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]];
Ben, along with his best friend [[Max Sterling]], become rookie wingmates under the command of newly promoted Lieutenant [[Rick Hunter]], forming the Vermillion Squadron with [[Roy Focker]] watching over them. While Max is quiet and shy, husky Ben is jovial, gregarious and fashions himself (or rather overrates himseslf) as a ladies man. He and Roy are fellow jokesters and often and team up to tease Rick over the romantic circle he's involved in with [[Lynn Minmei]] and [[Lisa Hayes]].

Ben is similar to the [[World War I]] RAF pilots depicted in the 1930 film [[The Dawn Patrol]] in that their off duty hours were filled with hedonistic pusuits as a way of coping with the life of a combat pilot. That being said, it always seemed that Ben's cockiness tended to get him in situations that were more than he could handle. His first mission under Rick saw the demolition of his [[veritech]] by the enemy. He was not quite the ace pilot that Rick and Max were and he seemed to hit his target more out of luck than anything else. Out of the three, Ben seems to require the most repairs to his plane after a battle. Sadly, Ben's phenomenal luck runs out when, during a malfunction of the SDF-1's omnidirectional barrier system, the barrier explodes and Ben is caught in the blast. Following the recent loss of Roy Focker, Ben's death comes as another painful blow to Rick, Max, and Lisa.
