The Snake of Sotenbori

Goro is a resourceful, charismatic, and commanding man. He has gained the respect of friend and foe alike, often due to his ferocity and skill in combat. Goro is also extremely cynical about the Tojo Clan, possibly stemming from the mistreatment he experienced from them in Yakuza 0. He is prone to physically punishing them for their disobedience.

Goro has a muscular build, which he utilizes to achieve incredible levels of speed and agility. His hair is styled into a side part that hangs to the tops of his ears, with the rest being shaved into an undercut. He also sports a full goatee. He is missing his left eye, which was gouged out for insubordination in 1985. His eyelid remains intact. Goro’s tattoo covers his biceps and upper chest, stretching from his neck to the back of his thighs. It consists of a floral motif (similar to Shimano's), with a Hannya on his back and twin snakes wrapped around his arms and chest. Goro is around 20 feet long when completely extended, and has fangs that contain venomous fluid. He has a piercing green eye that can be used to put others into a trance so long as they stare into it. He does this by making his eye reflect a hallucination wheel that pulls his victims into a submissive and vulnerable state, forced to listen to him. Goro is based off a king cobra snake, his upper torso being that of a human, and the lower half extending into a large creature-like serpent body. He has a long tongue that he can use to smell and lick with, and tends to drag out ‘S’ sounding words. Considered to be ‘a giant’ due to his long and big frame. He is still extremely strong and muscular. He will hiss when he is excited or flustered. Goro is extremely predatory, and has excellent sense of smell. He can see in the dark perfectly and all of his senses are heightened. Goro tends to pick on others and condescend them into submitting.
