Bojack Unbound

Kogu appeared in Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound. He was a skilled swordsman. He was of the same race as the other members of the Galaxy Soldiers. He even had a transformation similar to the others. In the end, his transformation was not enough and he ended up with a broken sword and death by a fist through his stomach courtesy of Future Trunks Brief.

Trivia

  • Kogu has a similar pseudo-Caribbean accent as Bido, Bojack, and Bujin in the FUNimation dub, although his is more exaggerated. Interestingly, Zangya is the only member of the group not to have a discernible accent in the dub.
  • Kogu is an expert swordsman just like Trunks. The two also fight each other during the tournament in Bojack Unbound.
  • Kogu has a strong resemblance to Crono, a character from a video game called Chrono Trigger. Akira Toriyama designed Crono too.
  • Kogu has a transformation very similar to Bojack's (considering that they are of the same race, it is plausible it is the same). His hair also changes and resembles that of a Super Saiyan.
  • Kogu is an anagram of Goku.
