Kogoro is an opium dealer who works as a lackey for another boss. He has 3 other men who help him smuggle and sell drugs. He is voiced by Shin Aomori in the original Japanese version and voiced by Joey Camen in the English dub.
History[]
Kogoro is seen in A Risky Racket with his men in a town that the three main characters are traveling by. As he takes hold of a bag of opium one of his men is carrying, Shinsuke bumps into him on purpose and pickpockets the opium. Before Kogoro quickly realizes the drugs were stolen, Shinsuke walks away and flees with the bag he thinks is money, not realizing that it is drugs.
Later, Kogoro finds an associate of Shinsuke who offers to sell the drugs on his behalf, and Kogoro and his men torture Shinsuke's friend and find out he has the drugs. When Shinsuke gets into a standoff with police while holding Fuu hostage, Kogoro and his men break into a window area of the house and he confronts Shinsuke by pulling out his knife. Shinsuke throws the bag of drugs at him, making opium powder spread through the air as Kogoro desparately tries to collect it.
