GoLion/Characters

The Good Guys

Akira Kogane

 * The leader (known to his teammates as "Chief") of a small group of astronauts hailing from the planet earth, when his crew returned from a long journey only to discover that their home world was ruined by a nuclear war, they were abducted by a slave ship from the evil planet Galra, which is found in the great dark nebula. However, Akira and his four comrades escaped from Daibazaal's prison facilities on Galra. After being ambushed by a swarm of Galran attack ships, Akira was forced to land on the planet Altea, it was there that he and his friends were chosen to resurrect the the legendary mechanical space guardian, Go Lion. At first there were only four keys to be found, and Akira had to Pilot the Green Lion... but when the fifth key was recovered, Akira gave his lion to Shorty, and took control of the great Black Lion.


 * Blue Oni: To Isamu's Red Oni.
 * The Hero
 * Heroes Prefer Swords

Takashi Shirogane

 * Akira's second in command, nicknamed "Quiet" because he rarely spoke. Takashi served his teammates as commander of the Blue Lion, that is until his untimely death at the hands of one of Galra's Beastmen.


 * The Lancer: in the original group (see entry).

Isamu Kurogane

 * The dumbass, cocky member of the party of escaped earthlings. For some reason, he earned the nickname "Moody". Apparently, he has plenty of enthusiasm to operate the Red Lion. While he may not be the best fighter in the group, battling Galra would be dull without him.


 * The Chick: See Entry.
 * The Lancer: After Takashi's death.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: To Aklira's Blue Oni.

Tsuyoshi Seido

 * The largest and ugliest of the five explorers, his short temper has given him the nickname "Hot Head". Tsuyoshi had plenty of guts to pilot the Yellow Lion, but his weakness might be his phobia of heights (he somehow displayed that when his party was escaping their cell). While he takes great pride in battling for Altea, his biggest regret was leaving his younger sister in their war-torn homeworld.


 * The Big Guy
 * Dead Little Sister
 * Hot-Blooded

Hiroshi Suzuishi

 * The youngest of the five astronauts, Hiroshi, a.k.a. Shorty, has served as the quickest, and most elusive fighter of the bunch. As Sadak had sent a fleet of galran war machines to recover the escaped prisoners, Shorty managed to scout the area, leaving the other four to command the lions. But when the missing key to the Black lion was finally found, Akira gave the green lion to Shorty, and the five earth heroes were able to forge the creatures to become Golion.


 * Ninja: He is a descendant of those people.
 * The Smart Guy: would also fall into the Shorter Means Smarter Trope.

Princess Fala

 * Heiress to the throne of Altea, and lone surviver of the royal family. Fifteen years ago, Daibazaal and his henchmen Honerva and Sadak, attacked Castle Altea, killing everyone in the palace. . . . . save two, as the newborn Fala was taken into hiding by her father's general, Raible. And now on her sixteenth birthday, Fala had welcomed the five heroes from earth with open arms. When Takashi was killed by Honerva, and her ferocious Beastman, it was Fala who later took the opportunity operate the Blue Lion (even if it meant disobeying her elder's orders), thus becoming the team's new Chick, leaving Isamu, of the Red Lion to take over as Lancer.

But later, he slowly began to realize how important she was in Golion's fight against evil.

The Altean Mice

 * A family of four rodents from the ruined castle. They were: Platt, the father, Chuchule, the mother and their two children. They befriended princess Fala when she was ten, and would become the Golion team's trusted small allies. At first, they had stolen the Black lion's key from the king's tomb, but thanks to Fala, the mice returned it so that Golion would be reborn. They even helped the princess out of her bonds so that she could asemble the giant robot for the first time.


 * Team Pet

King Raimon

 * Princess Fala's late father, Raimon ruled the peaceful world of Altea... but on that fateful day, Daibazaal and his minions invaded the royal palace.

However, the Galrans were unable to destroy the king's youngest child, Fala, as she was hidden from them by Raible. Fifteen years later, Raimon aids the Golion team as a ghost. And even though he's dead, he could see his daughter's potential in opperating Golion from the beginning.


 * The Obi-Wan

Hys

 * An old woman from Altea whom took refuge in Castle Gradarm (a mecha fortress built underneath the ruined Castle Altea). Hys became the new head nursemaid for the princess, and, like Raible, was acting like a real pain. The four guys from earth didn't like her either, you might want to call her nothing but a Battle Axe.


 * Mentor Occupational Hazard

Prince Alor

 * The youngest of the royal children of Planet Heracles, His people were servents to the Galra Empire. He even hero-worshiped Prince Sincline, but things got worse when the galrans killed the boy's older brother and father. In the process, Sincline captures the famliy's middle child, Princess Amue. Now Alor puts his trust in the Golion Team, in hopes of getting his sister back.

Princess Amue

 * The middle child, and only daughter of the king of Heracles.
