Description
Kon Corudo leads the Skull Lease organization as its head chairwoman and acts as the series' primary antagonist. She appears as a short, elderly Chinese woman, often shown with her face partially covered by her arms. Her initial shadowy depictions transition to full visibility after the formal introduction of her supposed granddaughter, Min-Min. While lacking a consistent verbal tic, she frequently begins and ends communications with the phrases "Inai inai bababa!" ("I'm not an old hag!") or "Inai inai eta!" ("I'm not a dirty person!").
Her leadership blends effectiveness and ruthlessness, contrasting her comedic visual design. She exhibits low tolerance for failure among subordinates like the Clean Aku trio but actively praises successful employees. Kon Corudo generally respects only Tamashiro, a revived cyborg operative, and Min-Min, though Min-Min's unpredictable actions sometimes interfere with her schemes. She summons agents using signals transmitted through Mun-Mun's ring, holding meetings either in a hidden computer room within Mun-Mun's office or remotely via available electronic devices. To motivate the Clean Aku trio, she strategically cites Tamashiro's progress to emphasize their shortcomings and occasionally brokers personal agreements with Kosuinen that favor him over other branch directors.
A series conclusion reveals "Kon Corudo" and "Min-Min" are aliases for the same entity: an extraterrestrial being. Her true goal is to seize the Psychic Robot data from the Time Lease to enslave Earth, driven by her conviction that humanity's self-destructive greed renders it unfit for galactic exploration. She founded the Skull Lease roughly eight years prior as a front for this objective, establishing the Northern Ostendai Branch and adopting the Min-Min disguise to infiltrate and spy on the Time Lease. Her orchestrated revival of Tamashiro as a cyborg facilitated both intelligence theft and direct attacks on Ippatsuman.
Her endgame relies on Time Lease manager Haruka, whom she covertly controlled for eight years after their first meeting. Following the Skull Lease's bankruptcy-induced dissolution and Tamashiro's elimination for repeated failures, Haruka obtains the complete Psychic Robot data, triggering Kon Corudo's final plan. She lures the Time Lease crew and Clean Aku trio to a mountainous hideout, unveils her alien form—featuring a mushroom-shaped head with antennae and tentacle-like four-fingered hands—and deploys Haruka in a Psychic Robot suit to eliminate opposition. During the battle, she augments Haruka's abilities and maintains control using a specialized staff.
Haruka breaks free with Ran's help, prompting Kon Corudo to attempt regaining control. This backfires, causing Haruka to lose her powers and suit. Kon Corudo then flees in a UFO, destroyed by Ippatsuman piloting the Sankan-Oh mecha, resulting in her permanent death. This outcome represents a rare character death within the franchise, with no subsequent appearances or references in any spin-off media.
