He learned how to live in the streets and perform odd jobs. After his mother's death, he grew bitter, aloof, but cool under crisis. His mother died trying to save him from a pack of wolves. Ippei is an 18-year-old rodeo champion, who was orphaned while still a young boy. Ippei Mine ( 峰一平, Mine Ippei) Voiced by: Kazuyuki Sogabe Born on November 24. His uniform is red and he pilots the Volt Crewzer ( ボルトクルーザー, Boruto Kurūzā) (Head). Aside from his exceptional marksmanship and formidable barehanded fighting skills, Kenichi is also quite adept with the use of swords (he can hold his own against Heinel, an accomplished swordsman). Due to his headstrong temperament and unwavering resolve, Kenichi often clashes with the more cynical Ippei which often results in fierce fisticuffs but the two share no ill will and eventually get along better. Stern and selfless, he is rarely one to indulge in personal pursuits that might be detrimental to their cause and he often decides on the best course of action in most of the team's numerous predicaments. During his younger years, Kenichi used to behave like a typical playful child and was prone to mischief, but the long absence of his father molded him into a more responsible son and older sibling. Born on June 22, he is an 18 year old marksman, a motocross champion, an ace pilot, and the eldest of the three Goh brothers. The group then traveled to the undisclosed island base named "Big Falcon" (a prodigious closely guarded technological mega project that took almost twenty years to complete) wherein the scientists ultimately reveal Professor Kentaro Goh's greatest life's work and humanity's last remaining hope for survival: "Voltes V".Ĭharacters Voltes Team Kenichi Goh ( 剛健一, Gō Ken'ichi) Voiced by: Yukinaga Shiraishi The Leader of the Voltes Team. Going up against an impossibly formidable inter-planetary armada immune to conventional weaponry, renowned Earth scientists Professor Hamaguchi and Mitsuyo Goh (Kentaro's wife) summoned the three half-Earthling children of Professor Kentaro Goh: Kenichi, Daijiro and Hiyoshi alongside two new members: Ippei and Megumi (all of whom were undergoing special training for a whole year prior to the invasion). This stronghold also serves as the production facility and primary hangar for the invaders' fearsome Beast Fighters, Boazan's exceptionally resilient and combat adaptive superweapons. Victory now within their grasp, the marauding Boazanians mobilized into their hidden subterranean fortress (secretly built by their cohorts while the Boazanians were on route to Earth) as their base of operations while occupying the planet.

Major cities are destroyed as countless civilians lose their lives worldwide mass panicking was at an unprecedented level. Earth's combined military forces were summarily outclassed, overwhelmed, and annihilated survivors of the lopsided onslaught had no other option but to retreat. Simultaneous deployments of the invaders' numerous fleets of well-armed and highly mobile space saucers were conducted against key strategic targets around the world. A decade later, the Boazanians invade the Earth under the leadership of the emperor's nephew Prince Heinel. After a lengthy absence, Professor Kentaro Goh was presumed dead by his family. Assimilated into human society, La Gour started a family with a local woman while further developing his scientific expertise under a new persona: "Professor Kentaro Goh".Īs several years passed, Professor Kentaro Goh returned to Boazan for diplomatic reasons though the now emperor Zu Zambajil rejected the former's appeal of non-aggression towards Earth. Using the rebels' last remaining space saucer, La Gour fled to faraway planet Earth. Freed from incarceration by a band of hornless dissidents, La Gour subsequently led a daring insurrection against the empire but their valiant efforts were easily thwarted by Boazan's vastly superior military. Tension between the classes reached its zenith when Boazan's highly-revered Chief Science Minister La Gour was exposed as a hornless pretender mere moments before his ascension to the throne an exploitative revelation perpetrated by the former's ambitious bastard cousin Zu Zambajil who wanted the empire for himself. The entire planet is wholly governed by an oligopolistic monarchy with a cruel caste system: Boazanians born with horns are highly regarded and bestowed with elite privileges while the hornless are branded as slaves and are forced to work on the most physically demanding tasks under constant threat of pain, confinement, and death. Its local populace and natural environment are almost identical to that of the Earth's albeit the former benefits from scientific innovations and technological developments which are far more advanced than what humanity has ever achieved. 14,000 light-years from the Earth located in a stellar system within the Scorpio Cluster lies the planet of Boazan.
