Goro Asuka (飛鳥 吾郎, Asuka Gorō) is Ken Hayakawa's best friend. He calls himself "A poor scholar who likes mountain climbing" (山登りが好きな貧乏学者, Yamanobori ga sukina binbō gakusha)[1].
Biography[]
A brilliant scientist, Asuka designed the Zubat Suit and Zubatcar for space exploration. On February 2, he saved the children from a bomb set on a kindergarten pick-up bus, but he was seriously injured on the verge of death. Furthermore, at the hospital, the Dakker's assassin appeared again and shot Asuka, and he was seen by Hayakawa and reached his end. His grave is built on the Jogasaki coast in Izu. In the final episode, it turns out that he was targeted because he knew the true identity of Dakker's true ruler, President D.
Behind the scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Goro Asuka was portrayed by Jiro Okazaki (岡崎 二朗, Okazaki Jirō).
Trivia[]
- In each opening video and in Hayakawa's flashback scene, Asuka is often shot down by a bullet.
- In the planning stage, his name was written as Taihei Toyama (富山 太平, Toyama Taihei)[2]. In the actual work, Tojo and Asuka introduce themselves to each other in the first episode[1], but in the planning stage, Hayakawa, Tojo, and Asuka have been friends since childhood[3].
