However, they urged to him to flee, stating that he was their final hope for a future free of slavery and he was too valuable to die given his intelligence. Managing to safeguard a ship for his travel, they shielded him with their bodies as the Boazanian Empire's forces opened fire on them, causing a frenzied Gohl to hurry into the ship and fly as far as he could. It was by pure chance that the planet the ship eventually crash-landed on happened to be Earth, which had a populace full of people that looked like him.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/la_gohl_from_voltes_v.png[[/labelnote]] to see his past identity '''(SPOILER)''' ]]

The father of the Gō brothers. He went missing after warning about the invasion of Boazanians. [[spoiler: But as the series goes on, his true identity unravels to the surprise of many: He's actually Prince [=Gohl=] of the Boazanians, but born hornless, considered an abnormality for his people. Despite so, he's still the WisePrince of his people, wearing fake horns until that fact was exposed by his jealous and ambitious cousin Zambajil Zu. For that, he's branded a traitor and had to escape to Earth, with the knowledge that Zambajil Zu will set his sights to Earth. Additionally, he had a wife in Boazan that died in childbirth, and the son he had would be known as Prince Heinel.]]

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: His father tried to murder him when he was born because he was hornless. When he asked his mother if he was meant to be a slave and took off his prosthetics, he punched him and threatened him into silence. Gohl himself averts this trope with Kenichi, Daijirou and Hiyoshi]].
* AbusiveOffspring: [[spoiler: Prince Heinel is his son, but neither of them know this until the series finale. Sadly, Heinel grew up with the same cruel mentality Gohl's father did towards hornless Boazanians]].
* ActionDad: Apart from creating Voltes V, Kentaro is also [[spoiler: the leader of several Boazanian slave rebellions and manufactured weapons for them. He is willing to die in conflict if it means he can emancipate the slaves. His sons follow in his footsteps]].
* AlienAmongUs: [[spoiler: He is secretly a hornless Boazanian; something his own ''children'' didn't know of until after the AlienInvasion occured]].
* AllLovingHero: Hamaguchi and Mitsuyo describe him as such to the Go siblings. The former even said that the reason for Voltes V's creation was because he loved the earth and wanted to protect it.
* AnimalMotifs: Birds. He founded Big ''Falcon'' and [[spoiler: his symbol in TheResistance is of twin doves - the very same doves on the dagger he gave to his wife Lozaria, that she gave to her son, Heinel]].
* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler: Unknowingly, Gohl is this to Heinel. This was actually a deliberate choice by Creator/TadaoNagahama.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Tadao Nagahama, Literature/RomanRoboAnimeClimaxSelection #14''': ''"Up until now, when it came to robot anime, the battle scenes were its sales point, and the story concluded in one episode. Voltes V was a creation intended to go beyond that. I wanted to get behind the perspectives of the enemy to express their psychological aspects to the audiences. I also wanted to create some sort of blood relationship between the hero and its enemy. Previous anime have never dealt with social themes but in Voltes, I have presented a situation where there was prejudice between those who had horns and those who didn't. And I wanted to intigrate that situation into this epic saga. This work delves into the lives of different people. Since Prince Heinel's character was well written, it was possible for the audience to see things from his perspective. But that is not enough, take one step further. La Gohl was enslaved because he did not have horns. What would have happened if he didn't stand up for his cause? He risked his own life to fight for his cause, believing that there should be no slavery among their people. La Gohl's agenda for life is just as worthy as that of Prince Heinel's. This work requires a lot of thinking from the audience. I would be grateful if this work be given some thoughts and applied to your own lives."'']]
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: [[spoiler: Prince Gohl is a handsome {{Bishounen}} with dark, messy purple hair and a heart of gold. He also wears elegant clothes. As evidenced by [[EvilIsSexy Heinel]], being a PrettyBoy runs in the family]].

* [[DadsOffFightingInTheWar Dad's Off Fighting in the Boazanian Resistance]]: [[spoiler: La Gohl went back to Boazania to convince Zambajil to leave the Earth alone, but when Zambajil asked him to use his knowledge in science to create weapons for the Boazanian Empire, he refused, and was subsequently imprisoned. Gohl was then freed by Dange, and led more slave rebellions, before leading some members of resistance to Earth as refugees.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: And holy shit, H O W.
* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler: Gohl was born into the highest echelon of Boazan society, only to have the rug pulled from under his feet because of a vengeful, jealous cousin. When he was offered his position back, he refused because it came with the caveat of making weapons for them, which he knew were going to be used on the weak and the dissenters. Gohl rejects the Boazanian nobility at every turn because he refuses to partake in oppression and wants an empire that is just for all. It is only after the Boazanian Empire is overthrown that Gohl finally takes the crown and rules Boazania the way he dreamed of when he was little boy.]]
* DisappearedDad: For the Go siblings. And as said above, he had ''very'' good reasons.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler: When Gohl was born, his father became outraged because [[ChocolateBaby the baby lacked physical features he desired]].]]

* DubNameChange:
** In the Philippine-English and American-English dubs, his name was changed to '''Ned Armstrong/[[spoiler: Baron Hrothgar]]'''.
** In the Italian dub, his name was changed to '''Kentarus'''.
** In the Catalan dub, his name was changed to '''Dr. Richard Armstrong'''. The same dub changed Professor Hamaguchi's name to '''Dr. Richard Smith''', averting the OneSteveLimit.
** In the Korean dub, his name was changed to '''Mr. Oh'''.
* {{Fallen Prince|ss}}: [[spoiler: For the mere sin of not having the physical traits "needed" in Boazan.]]
* FirstContact: [[spoiler: Mitsuyo was his. It sooned blossomed into a romance, and they got married and had three sons. Kentaro wanted to stay on Earth and raise them, but Zambajil called him back to Boazania and had him imprisoned]].
* GadgeteerGenius: [[spoiler: In his youth, he was a skilled engineer and was elected the Boazanian Minister of Science and Technology. Even after he was enslaved, he used his genius to create weapons for TheResistance, which led Zambajil to [[WeCanRuleTogether covet him and offer him a spot alongside him in the nobility under the condition that he used his technology to aid the Boazanian military]]. Once he fled to Earth, he created Voltes V, and designed the robot so intricately that it could surpass the Boazanian's strongest defense system.]] His son Hiyoshi inherited this from him.
* TheGoodKing: [[spoiler: Gohl wants a society where everyone is equal and slavery is abolished. His spirit inspires many around him to join the resistance. In the series finale, he declines going back to earth with his sons in favour of devoting himself to making sure Boazania is equal for all]].

* HasAType: [[spoiler: Both women who he fell in love with were kind-hearted and had brown, braided hair.]]

* HideYourOtherness: Twice.
** [[spoiler: His father ordered him to hide his lack of horns from the public]].
** [[spoiler: To a lesser extent, on Earth, he hides the fact that [[AlienAmongUs he's an alien]] by adopting the alias Kentaro Go. His experience with Boazan technology is why he's such a GadgeteerGenius in the earthling's eyes, but they all believe him to be a mere, unsuspecting Japanese scientist.]]
* HowDadMetMom: [[spoiler: Twice]].
** [[spoiler: He met Lozaria, Heinel's mother, after graduating from the Boazanian Institute of Science and Technology.]]
** [[spoiler: In his flashback, he met Mitsuyo when he was fleeing from the Boazanian Empire and crashed his spaceship into Japan, a country in Planet Earth.

* HumanAliens:[[spoiler: Kentaro is a hornless Boazanian, so this trope is in full effect, This also makes his sons half-Human Aliens. The only one not of Boazanian blood in the Go family is Mitsuyo]].

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat:
** [[spoiler: Mitsuyo thought he was dead because he never returned after going back to Boazania, but he was actually imprisoned]].
** [[spoiler: Heinel believed him to be dead because his forces ensured Kentaro fell off a cliff and drowned. Episodes later, it's revealed that Dange and several other Boazanian rebels came to his aid and brought him back to their secret base.]]
* NotAfraidToDie: [[spoiler: Gohl didn't originally plan to escape to Earth, telling his squadron of Boazanian ex-slaves that he was willing to fight and die alongside them. However, they urged to him to flee, stating that he was their final hope for a future free of slavery and he was too valuable to die given his intelligence. Managing to safeguard a ship for his travel, they shielded him with their bodies as the Boazanian Empire's forces opened fire on them, causing a frenzied Gohl to hurry into the ship and fly as far as he could. It was by pure chance that the planet the ship eventually crash-landed on happened to be Earth, which had a populace full of people that looked like him. With the kind-hearted Mitsuyo being his FirstContact, and with the other humans he met treating him like an equal, Gohl fell in love with the planet and felt a new hope for the future.]]
* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler: When he was born, he had no horns. His father, Oral, considered filicide and was about to stab him had he not been held back by the doctor that delivered him. His wife begged him to spare the child and offered her own life in exchange. Unwilling to kill his wife, Oral relented and agreed to raise the boy with prosthetic horns.]]
* OtherworldlyTechnicolourHair: [[spoiler: Something that should have tipped you off about Kentaro being NotQuiteHuman is his purple hair.]]
* PastelChalkedFreezeFrame: [[spoiler: When Heinel takes out his dagger, he notices the twin doves on the hilt and realizes it as the same dagger he gave to Lozaria. When Heinel states that the dagger was given to him by his mother, the truth becomes clear - the child that Lozaria [[DeathByChildbirth gave her life]] to have was Heinel. He is coloured this way when making this connection.]]
* PunnyName: [[spoiler: The Boazanian Empire is a FantasyCounterpartCulture to France, and his name is ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaul Gohl]]''.]]

* RebelPrince: [[spoiler: After Zambajil forces him to be a slave, Gohl becomes this trope]].
* RightfulKingReturns: [[spoiler: In the series finale, [[TheGoodKing he]] takes his place as the rightful ruler of Boazania, abolishing the FantasticCasteSystem ]].
* SmartPeopleBuildRobots: Alongside Mitsuyo, General Oka and Hamaguchi, Kentaro created the titular robot.
* UndeadTaxExemption: [[spoiler: He was able to forge a new life on Earth as Kentaro Gō, becoming a well-respected professor, the creator of Voltes V and a loving father of his three sons. It helps that he has made connections with his wife Mitsuyo and his friends Professor Hamaguchi and General Oka in the government to become part of society without issue.]]
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler: He is offered this twice]].
** [[spoiler: While he initially led a slave rebellion before fleeing to Earth, when he returns to Boazania to convince Zambajil to stop his galactic conquest, Zambajil offers him his position in nobility back...under the condition that he joins them and manufactures weaponry for the military using his skills. Disgusted, Gohl refuses]].
** [[spoiler: In episode 18, Zuhl asks Gohl to join his side for the same reason, stating that he needs Gohl's technology and genius to depose of Prince Heinel. Naturally, Gohl has no interest]].
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: While under duress, he smacks his own youngest son Hiyoshi ''at least three times'' in Episode 15, and even attempts to shoot him a few times. However, that wasn't him but rather a robot clone sent by the Boazanians. The real Kentaro would never hurt a child]].

* GoodIsNotNice: He ordered his soldiers to ''forcibly kidnap Ippei Mine in the middle of his public rodeo championship tour and separate him from his horse Eiffel'' so that Ippei will be taken to Big Falcon where he underwent TrainingFromHell and become a member of Voltes Team without giving him a choice.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Like Mitsuyo, Hamaguchi dies saving the Voltes team, his last words being that he thinks the Go brother's father is alive]].
* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler: Hamaguchi dies in Episode 14, crashing his ship into a Beast Fighter the same way Mitsuyo did, before telling the Go brothers he believes that their father is alive]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is in charge at Big Falcon, and in general seems most concerned with stopping the Boazanian invasion force.

[[caption-width-right:350: Professor Sakonji]]

A protege of Kentaro and Hamaguchi that only appeared halfway of the series, shortly after Hamaguchi sacrificed himself. He's a very strict commander that nevertheless still had the best interests of the team and the defense of Earth.

* AdaptedOut:
** Want to know why there isn't a listed Cuban Spanish or Brazilian Portuguese voice actor for him? Because the dubs of those adapted ''Voltes V'' into a movie and cut him out.
** He isn't present in the Korean dub either.
* BigDamnHeroes: Sakonji debuts by entering Big Falcon after it has no one to lead it since [[spoiler: Professor Hamaguchi is dead and General Oka is busy managing the Earth Defense Force. He stops the Big Falcon workers from leaving the base and explains how to fix the base's technical issues, while commanding Voltes V in battle. At the end of the episode, Oka explains that Sakonji is a protege of Kentaro and Hamaguchi]].
* DrillSergeantNasty: Shortly after his appearance, he gave a super harsh training for the Voltes Team so they could pilot better, save themselves and protect Earth better.
* DubNameChange:
** In the Philippine-English dub, his name was changed to '''Dr. Hook'''.
** In The Italian dub, his name was changed to '''Dr. Barrion'''.
* InconsistentSpelling: Is it Kozo '''Sakonji''', '''Sakunji''' or '''Sakaonji'''?
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He made it clear that he's not THAT nice and began as a harsh DrillSergeantNasty, but he did all of those because he doesn't want the team to die and not because they're just pilots of Voltes, but because he swore to protect the team after the passing of Hamaguchi. After his first appearance he becomes a much more likable character, although he can still be extremely aggressive and set in his ways at times.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He might look like an unreasonable, uptight person, but he can be convinced to listen to reason. Or sometimes, that convincing wasn't even necessary.

After the [[spoiler: death of Hamaguchi, Oka commanded the Voltes Team temporarily until Professor Sakonji arrived. Oka is SecretlyDying from an unspecified illness]].

* AbusiveParents: While he is generally a caring father, in Episode 9 he slaps Megumi because she abandoned her teammates during an attack from the Boazanians. It was a one-time incident, and a severe OutOfCharacter moment.

* [[spoiler: DangerTakesABackseat: In episode 31, Oka is oblivious to a mind-controlled Megumi in the back of his vehicle. However, when he does notice her, he realizes that she's being controlled by the ring and shoots it with his gun, destroying it. Unfortunately, the ring transforms into Beast Fighter Daiand. Knowing that Voltes V can't form without Megumi, Oka hands her the only jetpack in the aircraft and tells her to escape, while he lures Daiand away. Daiand eventually shoots enough projectiles at his helicopter to make it explode, and Oka tearfully manages to say "Megumi! My daughter! Be strong! Get back to the base!" before the explosion claims him. Megumi, who is watching ths unfold, breaks into tears, and when she reunites with her teammates, they subject Daiand to a heavy whooping]].
* DisappointedInYou: When Megumi deserts her teammates to check on him, he gets so furious he ''slaps'' her.

* GondorCallsForAid: In episode 9, Oka and Hamaguchi attend a conference amongst many other world leaders to plead for them to take the threat of a Boazanian Invasion seriously. Unfortunately, the other representatives are too busy argung amongst themselves to come to a conclusion. But come the next episode, they do lend their aid after he pleads with them just before they could flee to the airport in light of Namazungo's attack.
* GratuitousNinja: It may seem out of place to have one in a mecha anime, but him and his daughter fit in.
* PapaWolf: A variant. He deeply cares about his daughter, but when danger strikes, he trusts her to handle it on her own because he knows that she's a BadassAdorable.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Kentaro warned the Earthlings of the incoming [[AlienInvasion Boazanian invasion]], not many people heeded it, apart from Mitsuyo, Hamaguchi, Oka and a few others. He is also a supportive father figure to the Voltes Team, and when Dr. Sakonji mistreats them, they decide to go to Oka instead.
* {{Retirony}}: [[spoiler: General Oka dies in the same episode when he decides to retire]].
* [[spoiler: SecretlyDying: In episode 31, it's revealed that he's suffering from an unnamed illness that shortens his life expectancy by a huge mile, and announces his retirement from the Earth Defense Force.

Ippei then punches Nakamura, though Kenichi restrains him from escalating the situation further. Dr. Sakonji lets him go.

-->[[spoiler: '''Tadao Nagahama, Roman Robo Anime Climax Selection #14''': ''"Up until now, when it came to robot anime, the battle scenes were its sales point, and the story concluded in one episode. Voltes V was a creation intended to go beyond that. I wanted to get behind the perspectives of the enemy to express their psychological aspects to the audiences. I also wanted to create some sort of blood relationship between the hero and its enemy. Previous anime have never dealt with social themes but in Voltes, I have presented a situation where there was prejudice between those who had horns and those who didn't. And I wanted to intigrate that situation into this epic saga. This work delves into the lives of different people. Since Prince Heinel's character was well written, it was possible for the audience to see things from his perspective. But that is not enough, take one step further. La Gohl was enslaved because he did not have horns. What would have happened if he didn't stand up for his cause? He risked his own life to fight for his cause, believing that there should be no slavery among their people. La Gohl's agenda for life is just as worthy as that of Prince Heinel's. This work requires a lot of thinking from the audience. I would be grateful if this work be given some thoughts and applied to your own lives."'']]
