Description
Daikaku Kokujōji, the Gold King and Second King of Japan, stood as a linchpin in shaping the nation’s governance. A World War II veteran and former Imperial Japanese Army lieutenant, his fate intertwined with Adolf K. Weismann during their encounter in Dresden, Germany. There, he observed Weismann’s experiments with the Dresden Slate, sparking his resolve to harness its power for Japan’s military and technological ascendancy—a vision clashing with Weismann’s ethical opposition. Despite their ideological rift, their bond endured, culminating in Kokujōji securing the Slate for Japan post-war.
He wielded the Slate’s power to catapult Japan into global prominence as an economic and technological titan. From Mihashira Tower, his seat as Gold King, he enforced strict oversight of the Slate while sanctioning critical security protocols, including Scepter 4’s Level: Royal Blue. His influence permeated Japan’s political sphere, maintaining direct counsel with the Prime Minister to steer national policy.
Towering at 210 cm, his aged visage—marked by white hair, a Van Dyke beard, and gold-trimmed black robes—contrasted with his youthful appearance: black ponytailed hair and military garb. A strategist driven by solemn duty, he prioritized Japan’s stability above personal ties, though rare glimpses of vulnerability surfaced, particularly over Weismann’s destiny.
By *K: Missing Kings*, declining health led Kokujōji to shield Yashiro Isana within a temple beneath his airship, evading the Green Clan’s pursuit. In his final breath, he mourned missing the “new world” he forged, entrusting Yashiro with its future before succumbing. His death left the Gold Clan leaderless, destabilizing the delicate balance of power.
As Gold King, he commanded the clan’s signature “Cosmic Projection” ability and an unrivaled aura amplified by decades of Slate exposure, cementing his supremacy among Kings. Historical accounts highlight his measured respect for peers like Blue King Jin Habari and Red King Genji Kagutsu, acknowledging their prowess yet upholding his dominance.
Though *K: Seven Stories* shifts focus from Kokujōji, his legacy lingers through Japan’s transformed economy and the Slate’s enduring centrality—factors fueling later clashes under the Green King Nagare Hisui’s machinations.
