Saya once mentioned that Kohta and Takashi are the most likely to snap if things keep going the way they are. And while normally capable of maintaining a cool and level-headed demeanor (more so than Saya), Kohta has exhibited a sadistic and almost maniacal side of himself, to the point where he actually displays a slasher-style smile that shows whenever he kills 'them' in cold blood. As a result, when 'they' started to emerge, Kohta was one of the few people who readily accepted to the change needed to ensure his and his comrades' survival, finally being able to unleash all the frustrations that he has accumulated so far. Yet, at the same time he was constantly suppressing of his frustration he felt form the frequent bullying he suffered at school all for the sake of having a 'normal' life. This led to Kohta holding in feelings of frustration and anger towards Shido.īefore the outbreak, Kohta's demeanor is one that is timid, carefree, and sanguine. When Kohta attended school he was constantly bullied by classmates in Koichi Shido's classes where instead of helping Kohta out, Shido encouraged the bullying. (Anime) * After they arrive at Saya Takagi's house Kohta appears in green coveralls, a white t-shirt, white gloves, and brown sandals.īefore the start of the series, Kohta went on a month-long trip to America where he was trained by the US military contractor Blackwater USA which furthered his obsession over weapons.

In addition to his school uniform Kohta wears a tactical vest with multiple pockets along with an additional ammo belt. His character may have been based on the mangaka of the same name as the two look similar. Like Takashi, he is normally seen wearing the standard male student uniform of his school and is generally seen carrying an assortment of gun-based weaponry. His weight presumably hinders his endurance, which is why he tends to participate in long-distance shooting at a stationary position instead of defending himself via melee attacks or other high energy-expenditure methods of fighting. He has shoulder-length hairstyle that has bangs reaching down from the side of his temples stretching outwards and obscuring the sides of his face.

He is a vital part of the group's fighting abilities, so much so that Takashi Komuro once noted that, if Kohta died, the group would all be dead in a single day. He usually doesn't play a major role in the group's decisions and doesn't say much during discussions, but in combat situations he becomes much more involved with the others and helps everyone stay focused on battle. His skills as a marksman have proven to be a valuable asset to keeping everyone alive.

He is a gun otaku (enthusiast) and has extensive knowledge of firearms and any military-related equipment that the group may come across. About Kohta is a 16 year old high school second-year student who was often bullied at school.
