Description
Kentaro Go, bearing aliases including Ragoul, Ned Armstrong, and Hrothgar, hails from the planet Boazania, a society sharply divided between horned nobles and enslaved hornless citizens. Born a prince yet lacking horns, he concealed his status with prosthetics to evade persecution. Witnessing the harsh oppression of the hornless fueled his dedication to equality. His scientific acumen secured him the role of Minister of Science and Technology. He revealed his secret to Rozalia, who accepted him despite societal taboos.
His coronation as emperor was shattered when his cousin Zambajil exposed his hidden lack of horns. Public disgrace followed, leading to imprisonment and enslavement. Separated from Rozalia, he learned of her death in childbirth and the birth of their son, Zardoz, while enslaved. Inciting failed slave rebellions, his fellow slaves urged him to escape. He fled Boazania, crash-landing on Earth. Discovered by Mitsuyo Go (also known as Mary Ann Collins Armstrong in some versions), he assimilated into human society under the identities Kentaro Go or Ned Armstrong. They married and had three sons: Kenichi (Steve), Daijiro (Big Bert), and Hiyoshi (Little Jon).
Anticipating a Boazanian invasion, he collaborated with Earth scientists to develop the Super Electromagnetic Machine Voltes V, comprising five vehicles combining into a single robot. After Hiyoshi's birth, he returned to Boazania to negotiate peace with Zambajil, promising his family his return. Imprisoned immediately upon arrival, he was rescued by the horned noble Dange, who broke his own horns to join the resistance. He then led anti-slavery efforts and rebel movements against Zambajil's regime.
His absence forced Mitsuyo/Mary Ann to prepare their children to pilot Voltes V against the invasion led by his estranged son, Zardoz. Mitsuyo/Mary Ann died protecting Voltes V during an early battle. Reuniting with his Earth-born sons during the conflict, he revealed their half-Boazanian heritage. After overthrowing Zambajil, he reorganized Boazanian society to ensure equality between horned and hornless citizens, becoming emperor. He bid farewell to his sons, believing they would reunite.
In live-action adaptations, his Earth identity "Ned Armstrong" emerges after landing in the Philippines. Mary Ann suggests the name, honoring her late father. They establish Camp Big Falcon and develop Voltes V. His decision to return to Boazania strains his marriage, though he promises to return after seeing his youngest son Jon's birth. Post-coronation, he wears royal garbs, contrasting with the slave outfit worn during imprisonment.
Throughout his journey, he maintains a kind and loving demeanor, driven by a vision of societal equality. His leadership as emperor focuses on peaceful coexistence, fulfilling his lifelong goal of dismantling Boazania's caste system.
