Personality

Kofu is a cook who is popular among his people for the innovative dishes he creates at his restaurant, often sourcing high-quality and/or rare ingredients for his dishes from Porto Marinada. However, he is occasionally careless and tends to forgets something when in a rush. He often uses the term "Vaultin' Veluza!" to express surprise or shock.

He is also a proficient Gym Leader and places confidence in his Water-type Pokémon to overwhelm his opponents.

Etymology

Kofu's name may come from cove (a small bay) and kombu, a type of kelp used as food.

Haidai, his Japanese name, may come from "high tide" and 海帶 / 海带 (hǎidài, Chinese for kelp).
