OVA
Description
Minoru Gō is a character who appears in the anime Be-Bop Kaizokuban, a parody spin-off of the Be-Bop High School series. As with all characters in this work, Be-Bop Kaizokuban employs a star system in which the cast of recurring character designs are placed into different roles and scenarios across episodes, meaning Minoru Gō's specific function can shift depending on the story.

Within the broader Be-Bop universe from which his character design originates, Minoru Gō is a student from Ritsuka Commercial High School. His most immediately notable trait is his face, which resembles that of a gorilla, and this appearance means he does not attract much romantic interest from women. However, he possesses a very strong sense of masculine pride and loyalty, earning him the respect of characters such as Hiroshi and Nobuo. He is known for his fighting ability, and in the original series context, he is regarded highly enough that some consider him technically superior in a fair fight even compared to Junichi Kikunaga, though Kikunaga compensates with underhanded tactics. Despite his tough exterior, Minoru Gō also displays moments of unexpected timidity. He maintains a good relationship with the main characters from Aitoku High School, particularly Hiroshi, and often acts as a mediator during conflicts between the Aitoku group and Ritsuka Commercial. His closest rival and frequent sparring partner is Kikunaga. A notable detail from his original background is that he has an older sister who is two years his senior and shares the same gorilla-like facial features. In the context of Be-Bop Kaizokuban, these characteristics are the foundation for his appearances, but the specific plot details change with each episode due to the anthology nature of the series.
