==Summary==
Koji Kabuto (兜 甲児, Kabuto Kōji) is the main protagonist of Mazinger Z and the primary pilot of the titular robot, as well as a supporting protagonist in Great Mazinger and Grendizer.
Along with the Mazinger, Koji is famed for breaking the mold of main characters of the time, being hot-blooded and confident to the point of arrogance rather than heroic and/or conflicted.
He is the son of Kenzo Kabuto, as well as the grandson of Juzo Kabuto. His parents were thought to have been killed in a laboratory experiment that went wrong so Juzo took in Koji and his younger brother Shiro Kabuto. However, when Juzo started to obsessively work on a secret project, a housekeeper name Rumi was hired to take care of them.
By the time Koji got into high school he usually spent his time on a motorcycle than anything else. Believing he can beat anyone with the Mazinger, he often got himself into trouble several times during the fights against Dr. Hell, which often got him into several arguments with Sayaka. This also extends to his belief in road safety, often narrowly avoiding a stop light through motorcycle stunts.
Initially, he was very cocky, rude, and sexist; on one occasion, he stuffed a plate of food Sayaka made for him down her bra after criticizing it. Overtime, Koji showed growth by fighting enemies more equally and never giving up even when near death. He possesses a strong will, never backing down from a challenge even when the Mazinger is badly beaten and can no longer fight.
