"Someone not to be trifled with, boy!" |
Kogu (Gokua) was one of the henchmen of Bojack in Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound. He was killed by Future Trunks. His name is based off the Japanese word gokuakuhidou, meaning heinous and inhuman. Bido, his fellow henchman, shares the second half of the word.

[edit] Background
Not much is known about Kogu except that he is a skilled swordsman. He is the same alien race as Bojack and his crew; he even has a transformation similar to Bojack's. But in the end, his transformation was not enough and he was taken down by an Ascended Super Saiyan Trunks. Kogu ends up with a broken sword and death by a fist clean through his gut.
[edit] Other appearances
Along with countless other Dragon Ball antagonists, Kogu makes a cameo appearance in the 1995 film Fusion Reborn when the residents of Hell make their escape to Earth.
[edit] Trivia
- He has a similar pseudo-Caribbean accent to Bojack, Bido, and Bujin in the FUNimation dub, although his is more exaggerated. Interestingly, Zangya is the only member of the group not to have a discernible accent in the dub.
- Kogu is an expert swordsman, just like Trunks. The two also fight each other during the tournament in the Bojack Unbound movie.
- Kogu has a transformation very similar to Bojack's. His hair also changes and resembles that of a Super Saiyan.
- Kogu is an anagram of Goku
- Kogu's base form has a resemblance to Crono from Chrono Trigger.
