**Cota Coga** (甲賀 コータ) is the protagonist of Cap Revolution Bottleman DX, and the current Bottle King. He is voiced by Mana Hirata.

## Description

Cota is a silver-ranked Bottle Battler. He discovers and becomes obsessed with the fun of Bottleman. He first rose from Bronze to Silver, then Gold and then Bottle Star, and eventually the rank of Bottle King by the end of the series.

He and his friend Ponta Hayari are part-time battlefield cleaners, until he finds out Colamaru DX as the pre-registered "Origin" in the first episode. Initially, Cota only plays the sport for paying for the damaged property, but later becomes immersed in Bottle Battling itself. In fact, Colamaru soon chooses Cota as its partner, and their bond and synchronization strengthen throughout the series. He later receives the Speed Core and Control Core from Kaori, and his aim and shots with Colamaru gradually improve.

When Colamaru sacrifices itself for Cota from Ryo's outburst, Cota is devastated at his partner's destruction. He then hands the damaged Colamaru to Kaori, hoping she would help him repair it. Thanks to his fizzling bond with Colamaru, Cota receives his renewed Colamaru in the form of Colamaru Energy DX.

After B-DACT and BMA rise to conflict, Cota becomes very confused on why they are both fighting, as he believes Bottle Battling is a sport for everyone to enjoy and shouldn't have any power struggles, and he just wants to spread joy by playing it. Cota becomes more puzzled when Ponta reveals himself to be Citrus and wants him to join the cause of demolishing the current battle system. Upon learning from Ryo that Ponta's consciousness has been hijacked by the AI, Cota decides to join the Bottle Battling against Team Citrus to bring Ponta back, upon finally understanding how Ponta has been wishing to re-experience the passion for the sport again. With his motivational battle with Ponta, Cota successfully helps Ponta to gain the willpower to eject the AI out.

Cota later succeeds Ponta in inheriting the Bottle King title after Ponta voluntarily gives up the rank and a Bottle Royale, which is proposed by Cota himself to determine if he or others are worthy of the title, ensues, which Cota passes.

After becoming the new Bottle King, Cota and Ryo are assigned by Io and Machiko to defeat the AI in order to save humanity from regressing back to the Middle Ages. They manage to sneak into the abandoned facility, and battle against Blastboss. Despite some difficulties, the boys successfully activate their Sparkling Nova and finally overpower Blastboss, but both seemingly get caught in the subsequent explosion. However, it turns out both boys survive thanks to the sheer determination to have a match with each other, and they end things by having one more match after they have rescued humanity.

## Appearance

He's 12 years old and has his trademark red hair with green streaks, tied into a small ponytail. He has red eyes. Both of his ears have ear piercings. He usually wears black long socks as leg wear.

His first outfit is a red tracksuit with white accents, with black straps with green accents. He has a pair of black shorts with teal accents, and a pair of magenta sneakers with yellow soles and red accents.

Starting at the end scene of Episode 36, he wears a different outfit consisting of a black tracksuit, shorts, and sneakers; all of which are with red and teal accents.

As a child, he wore a grey coat with a high collar, and lime yellow highlights, as well as having "CO" written on his left chest. He also wore a pair of black and white shorts, and red-yellow basketball shoes.

## Personality

Cota is known for his excitable and determined attitude. He is reckless and always acts on motor, sometimes being impatient. He is also a huge airhead. However, he is a caring and loyal companion with a good sense of sportsmanship, treating both friends and foes with kindness, and enjoys Bottle Battling as a sport to spread happiness and excitement for everyone.

## Bottleman

Cota's original Bottleman was Colamaru DX, a power-type Bottleman with the motif of the Phoenix constellation.

When Colamaru DX is missing in Episode 04, he uses an unnamed Bottleman with light green and pink coloring.

When Colamaru DX is heavily damaged in Episode 26, it is repaired and upgraded into Colamaru Energy DX in the next episode.
