Musashi Goda

Musashi Goda is a supporting character of the webcomic, manga, and anime series Mob Psycho 100. He is the leader of the Body Improvement Club, the club of which Shigeo Kageyama is the newest member of.
He was voiced by Toshihiko Seki in the Japanese version, and by Patrick Seitz in the English dubbed version.
==Appearance==
Due to the physical training he's undergone, Musashi is a very tall, muscular individual with short black hair, making him look much older than he really is.
==Personality==
Contrary to the typical bodybuilder stereotype of self-centeredness and superiority, Musashi is actually a very respectful, kind and honorable individual who only wants to improve himself and be an effective leader for the club. Musashi carries a strong sense of justice with him, and refuses to fight senselessly as seen when he refused to help Onigawara beat up Teruki Hanazawa.
Musashi also possesses a very kind heart, as he accepted Mob into the Body Improvement Club despite him having no muscles. Despite having taken over the room of the Telepathy Club, Musashi allowed them to continue staying and hanging out in that room. His compassion was once again shown with Onigawara; even though he deceived Musashi and laid a trap for Mob, resulting in the esper being kidnapped, Musashi still allowed Onigawara to be a member of the Body Improvement Club, and when Onigawara was ostracized after having false evidence planted on him, let him stay in the Body Improvement Club room and defended him when the Student Council President attempted to kick Onigawara out.
Perhaps his most heroic moment was when fighting Hiroshi Shibata, one of the Ultimate 5 of Claw who was after Mob. When confronting the esper, despite being vastly overpowered, as Shibata prepared to stomp on Mob to kill him, Musashi got in the way and protected Shigeo with his body, declaring that he would die before letting anything happen to Shigeo. 
== History ==
Musashi Goda is first seen when he is attempting to create the new club, the Body Improvement Club, and when Mob decides to join this club, Musashi welcomes him with open arms.
Musashi is seen again when being asked by Onigawara to assist in taking down Teruki Hanzawa, the Shadow Leader from Black Vinegar Middle School, though Musashi refuses. After this, Onigawara takes drastic measures and creates a plan to have Mob kidnapped by Black Vinegar Middle School and for the Body Improvement Club to come rescue him. Musashi leads the mission to save Mob, and easily takes care of the army of opposing students. However, when Teruki Hanazawa arrives, he is easily taken out by the esper, along with the rest of the Body Improvement Club.
After Onigawara is framed by the Student Council President, Musashi lends him his aid while offering him to be a member of the Body Improvement Club, which he accepts. When the Student Council President attempts to force Onigawara to leave the school, Musashi defends him and claims Onigawara to be innocent, though before the Student Council President can take any action, he's forced to deal with another matter, saving Onigawara and Musashi from potential punishment.
Later on, Musashi goes with the rest of the Body Improvement Club and the Telepathy Club to celebrate the birthdays of two members of each club. Mob, who is unable to attend due to his master requiring his assistance, eventually disconnects with his master due to this and the fact that Reigen said none of the people in the Body Improvement Club were actually his friends.
Musashi, along with the rest of the Body Improvement Club, take part in the school marathon, and due to their incredible physique, Musashi takes first place with ease. A few days after the marathon, Musashi is seen running with the other members of the Body Improvement Club through the street. During their run, Mob comes falling from the sky, and Shibata, the esper who was following and attempting to kill Mob, arrives to finish the job. Musashi approaches Shibata and warns him not to cause trouble, but the esper grabs him and easily throws him aside. Just before Shibata attempts to kill Mob by stepping on him, Musashi comes in and stops the esper by protecting Mob with his body. As he's being stepped on, Musashi expresses the admiration that he and the rest of the club members have for Mob with the way he continues to keep up with them no matter how many times he falls or stumbles, and states that he'd die before letting Shigeo get hurt. Dimple, who was watching the scene unfold, possesses Musashi, using his incredible muscle power to dominate Shibata. After Shibata is defeated, Musashi and the rest of the Body Improvement Club members take Shibata to the hospital.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Though he is a regular human and possesses no psychic powers, Musashi makes up for this with his incredible strength, durability and endurance from the countless hours put into increasing his physical abilities. With this strength, he and the rest of the Body Improvement Club members are able to easily take down dozens upon dozens of middle school thugs with almost no effort. His strength also allows him to survive attacks from espers such as Teruki Hanazawa and Shibata, and in the case of the latter, was able to momentarily withstand being crushed by him. When being possessed by Dimple, the evil spirit is able to use his muscles to their fullest potential, and combined with his psychic power, is able to easily dominate Shibata.
