Description
Masaru Kōmyōji, the youngest child of robotics expert Dr. Hiroshi Kōmyōji and younger brother of Mitsuko Kōmyōji, entered the conflict with the terrorist organization DARK after his father's kidnapping, joining his sister and the android Jiro. His background carries significant familial trauma: his mother left shortly after his birth due to her allegiance to Professor Gill, and his half-brother Ichiro died before Masaru was born. Dr. Kōmyōji's workaholic tendencies and subsequent disappearance led to an unstable upbringing, leaving Mitsuko as his primary caretaker.
Masaru exhibits emotional vulnerability alongside spirited determination. He experiences intense distress, such as upon learning his mother spied for DARK or mistakenly believing Jiro killed his father. Despite these traumas, he shows resilience and a proactive attitude, actively participating in the search for his amnesiac father and devising strategies. He once deceived detectives to learn his sister's location, then traveled independently by train to a remote cabin to rejoin her and Jiro, though DARK robots intercepted him.
His relationship with Jiro evolves significantly. Initially trusting, Masaru allies with the android Saburo (Hakaider) after being manipulated into believing Jiro murdered his father, leading him to aggressively pursue Jiro. He ultimately recognizes Jiro's inherent goodness when Jiro surrenders to prevent conflict. Masaru later assists in reassembling Jiro after the android's destruction by the Destructoid Red Mine Toad, demonstrating practical involvement.
Masaru displays assertiveness, physically confronting police officers for insensitive remarks and independently deciding to leave safe locations for dangerous missions. His experiences, including repeated confrontations with DARK and psychological manipulation surrounding his family, shape his development from a visibly distressed child into a more resourceful and courageous figure. Following DARK's defeat and Professor Gill's demise, Masaru departs Japan with his recovered father and sister, concluding his direct involvement.
