==Personality==
While Goto assists Kamen Rider OOO, he established a one-sided rivalry with Eiji Hino. Goto is incredibly loyal to the Foundation but is wary about Kosei Kougami's choice of relying on Eiji and Ankh, believing that they should not be relied on and only helps them for the world's sake. He has shown an aversion to Ankh for his attitude towards the Foundation and his actions as a Greeed. However, though interested on Maki's proposal for an alternate way for normal humans to use the O Medals' power, he disagreed with the scientist's terms. Goto becomes Eiji's ally after taking his words of taking action to heart. To work on his pride he took on a job for Cous Coussier and after some humility became much more supportive.
==Abilities==
* Expert Marksman: ﻿As a former policeman and Motorcycle Brigade leader, Goto is an excellent motorcyclist and marksman, utilizing powerful weaponry such as firearms to destroy Yummy. The most prominent of his arsenal being the Goto Bazooka, a trademark rocket launcher Goto occasionally uses to potentially harm a Greeed or a Yummy. Later, he replaced his original weapon in favor of the original Birth Buster, a much more powerful weapon that Date passed onto him. However, he was unable to use the Birth Buster due to its overwhelming recoil. After his training to use the Birth Buster, he was able to use the weapon without any drawbacks.
