Appearance

Go has black hair with red highlights and blue eyes. His outfit consists of a grey short-sleeved top with a Poké Ball design and red brims, black tracksuit pants, red socks, and a pair of gray and black shoes.

Personality

Go has a confident, cool-headed demeanor, with a hot competitive streak. He is independent, has a bit of an ego and sometimes acts like a know-it-all, which, according to Koharu, causes him to have difficulty making friends. This trait appears when Go becomes upset that his argument with Ash almost ruined their friendship. Despite this, Go deeply cares about Pokémon and gets excited about meeting them, much like Ash does. Also, much like Ash, Go doesn’t want to lose his friends, especially Koharu and Ash.

Skills

Go is a skilled researcher and uses his Rotom phone to help him gain new information. Also, much like Brock, Tracey Sketchit, Max, Cilan and Clemont, Go has great knowledge about Pokémon. Although lacking some athletic skills, Go has proven to run really well.
