Koji Kabuto has become every bit the inheritor of the legacy of his father and grandfather. Now a talented scientist, Koji spins many plates -- alien signals analysis, Photon Power, military weapons design... at almost 30 years old, Koji Kabuto is a responsible adult (unless you ask Sayaka Yumi, of course.) He actually excels as a scientist, and has given Japan energy independence with what seems like a wave of his hand. His war is over, for the most part, and he is content to play the supportive uncle to Londo Bell across from the figure Bright Noa cuts as its stern father. Isn't that a little too easy, though? As war approaches the Earth Sphere yet again, Koji needs to contend with just what his responsibilities really are.

Background

The history of Koji Kabuto and Mazinger Z defies conventional Earth Sphere wisdom on giant robot fighting, in that he was a perfectly normal teenage motorcycle delinquent before Baron Ashura showed up to kill his grandfather and he became the pilot of Mazinger Z without any prior training or specialised indoctrination to make him a living weapon. With the help of his now-girlfriend Sayaka Yumi and the resources of the Photon Power Research Institute, Doctor Hell's Kikaiju army was demolished by, ultimately, ordinary people.

Nowadays he works as a researcher, advancing the understanding and applications of the technology discovered by his grandfather to better the quality of life for all persons living in the Solar System, though that flame of passion he had during his battles still smoulders from the injustices perpetrated by the Federation upon its people. A sufficiently large threat could stoke that flame to its old heights once more, and call forth the Castle of Iron to stand in defence of the downtrodden again.

Resources

A high-ranking scientist in the Photon Power Research Institute, Koji has a strong understanding of the properties of Japanium and Photon Power, as well as a tinkerer's personality to help him make upgrades to machines he finds in need of it, or perhaps build new ones.

Relationships

Kenzo Kabuto (father, deceased)
Juzo Kabuto (grandfather, deceased)
Shiro Kabuto (younger brother)
Tetsuya Tsurugi (adoptive brother)
Jun Tsurugi (adoptive sister)
Gennosuke Yumi (mentor, father figure)
Sayaka Yumi (it's complicated (it's really not))
Boss and his Gang (fellow former pilots)

Friends and Allies

Sayla Mass - She shot Doctor Hell once! (Three times, technically, but it was one incident.) She's rad, but she seems painfully alone right now.
Nidaime - A kaiju kid with a heart full of love, bearing a weight you don't need to be a Newtype to sense.
Guy Shishioh - Back at last, Guy? Not a moment too soon.
Kamille Bidan - Fought the Titans together! Koji's glad he's come through his troubles.
Roux Louka - Back from Jupiter! Nice to see old friends again.

Rivals and Enemies

Dr. Hell - Arch-Nemesis of the Kabuto family. Thankfully, he's dead. Right?
Baron Ashura - A pair of lovers reunited after death by Dr. Hell's cybernetic necromancy, bodies fused together, sworn in as his general. Freaky.
Count Brocken - Another Hell General, this decapitated officer can now pilot his body independent of his head. Viciously cruel, but masks it with a faux noble bearing.
Yuliana Dispersal - Strictly speaking, a Federation officer, but you mess with Koji's friends and, well...
