'''Koga''' (Japanese: '''キョウ''' ''Kyou'') is the former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Fuchsia City]]'s [[Gym]]. He is a student of ninjutsu who specializes in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He handed out the {{Badge|Soul}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeated him in {{pkmn|battle}}.


He was promoted to a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type2|Poison}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and became a member of the [[Johto]] [[Elite Four]], at some time after the events of [[Generation I]] and its remakes, but before the events of [[Generation II]] and its remakes, thus leaving his daughter, [[Janine]], in charge of the [[Fuchsia Gym]].
He became a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] some time after the events of [[Generation I]] and its remakes, but before the events of [[Generation II]] and its remakes, thus leaving his daughter [[Janine]] in charge of the [[Fuchsia Gym]].


==In the games==
==In the core series games==
Koga, known as the Poisonous Ninja Master, serves two roles in the Pokémon games. In {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he is the Leader of the [[Fuchsia Gym]], but is promoted to be the second trainer of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]] in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Koga is a user of the {{type|Poison}}; he likes the despair and horror that Poison-type Pokémon can inflict on others.

Koga is a user of the {{type2|Poison}}; he likes the despair and horror that Poison-type Pokémon can inflict on others.
Koga has studied medicine and antidotes; he makes his own potions to heal his Pokémon. He also serves as a teacher. Many students come to him to be trained in the arts of {{wp|Ninjutsu}} and Pokémon. One of his students is his own daughter, [[Janine]], who takes over his Gym in [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}} storyline. In addition to these roles, Koga also patrols the grounds of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], to ensure that the players of the Safari Game are safe from the [[wild Pokémon]] within.

In addition to these roles, Koga also patrols the grounds of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], to ensure that the players of the Safari Game are safe from the [[wild Pokémon]] within.
In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Koga's Gym is typically the fifth Gym to be challenged. He has built invisible walls in the Fuchsia City Gym, constructing a confusing maze out of them. Koga awaits challengers in the center of the maze, clearly visible, but a group of Koga's students must be fought first. Defeating him will earn the successful Trainer the {{Badge|Soul}} and the [[TM]] for {{m|Toxic}}, a [[move]] which, according to him, is a secret technique that has passed down his family for over 400 years.


In [[Generation I]]/{{gen|III}}, Koga's Gym is typically the fifth to be challenged. He has built invisible walls in the Fuchsia City gym, constructing a confusing maze out of them. Koga awaits challengers in the center of the maze, clearly visible, but a group of {{tc|Juggler}}s and {{tc|Tamer}}s—Koga's students—must be fought first. Defeating him will earn the successful Trainer {{TM|06|Toxic}} and the {{badge|Soul}}.
With the future of the Gym in his daughter's hands, Koga advances to a role in the Pokémon League of Kanto and Johto before the events of Generations II and IV. In these games, he is the second member of the Elite Four to be faced. The team he uses in this role is similar to his Gym Leader's teams; the main difference is the introduction of {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon not native to Kanto}}. Koga's battle style as an Elite Four member is designed to confound and destroy his opponent in battle. Rather than using brute force, Koga attempts to [[status condition|confuse, put to sleep, and poison]] his opponent.

He speaks with a Japanese accent, as evidenced in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].

===Main series===
Koga's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''.
[[File:Koga anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Koga in the [[original series]]]]
[[File:Koga Best Wishes.png|thumb|220px|Koga in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Koga appeared in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He operates the [[Fuchsia Gym]] in the woods outside [[Fuchsia City]]. {{an|Aya}}, Koga's younger sister, is one of his students.


Koga is a ninja who trains in an old mansion, the Fuchsia City Gym, in the woods outside Fuchsia City. The Gym is filled with traps such as fake mirrors, invisible walls, pits, and many {{p|Voltorb}}. [[Aya]], Koga's younger sister, is one of his students.
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} managed to overcome the Gym's traps before meeting Koga, and Ash challenged him to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. During the match, [[Ash's Pidgeotto]] initially lost to Koga's [[Evolution|newly-evolved]] {{p|Venomoth}}, prompting Ash to call out {{AP|Charmander}}. However, their match was interrupted when {{TRT}} tried to steal Koga's large supply of Voltorb, even though they originally raided the Gym with the intent of getting {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. Team Rocket was eventually stopped by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s unexpectedly powerful {{m|Confusion}} attack. Koga then offered to [[trade]] his Venomoth for Psyduck, but {{an|Misty}} declined. Ash and Koga then had a [[rematch]]; pitting Charmander against [[Koga's Golbat]], Ash triumphed and won the {{Badge|Soul}}.


{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} managed to overcome the traps in the Gym and Ash was finally able to challenge Koga. Although [[Ash's Pidgeot|Ash's Pidgeotto]] initially lost to Koga's newly-evolved {{p|Venomoth}}, prompting Ash to call out {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}}, their match was interrupted when {{TRT}} tried to steal Koga's large supply of Voltorb, although they had raided the Gym with the intent of getting {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon. Team Rocket was stopped by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, allowing Ash and Koga to have a rematch. Pitting Charmander against Koga's {{TP|Koga|Golbat}}, Ash triumphed and won the {{badge|Soul}}.
He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

====History====
[[File:Koga Adventures.png|120px|left|thumb|Koga in Pokémon Adventures]]
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Koga was one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and served under {{adv|Giovanni}}.
Koga is one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and he serves under {{adv|Giovanni}}.


Koga debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' searching the {{evostone|Moon Stone}} in [[Mt. Moon]], here Koga fights with {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty]] and forces his Rhyhorn to evolve with a mysterious injection, revealing what happened to Misty's Gyarados when it was kidnapped, however the mission fails. Koga later tries to bump off Red in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]], where he uses a Gastly to reanimate the corpses of dead Pokémon buried there. He also attacks Red with his Arbok. However, {{adv|Blue}} has his {{p|Charmeleon}} slice Arbok in half. Under his boss's orders, he captures {{p|Articuno}} and brings it to [[Saffron City]]. He is once again defeated by Blue at [[Silph Co.]], albeit that he almost killed both of them by not allowing them to reach their Poké Balls by using his Muk, then almost freezing them to death with his Articuno. After he is defeated and knocked out Red gets Koga's Soul Badge and Blue uses his special Golbat to find out where [[Team Rocket]] is holding his grandfather.

After he is defeated and knocked out, Red claims Koga's Soul Badge and Blue uses his special Golbat to find out where [[Team Rocket]] is holding his grandfather.


Later, Koga helps the [[Pallet Town]] Trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] at [[Cerise Island]]. Koga is paired with Blue and battles Agatha, but Blue first returns his Golbat to him. When the two of them finally meet Agatha, she separates them, making Blue and Koga's Golbat that he got paired up with again face Agatha's Golbat. Meanwhile, Koga's Arbok had to face Agatha's Arbok which could change its patterns allowing it to gain the upper hand over Koga. When Blue was paralyzed from a Haunter's Lick, Koga started throwing his shuriken balls. Agatha thought this was a desperate tactic, but in reality they were Pokémon holding Paralyze Heals. Koga was hoping just one of them would get to Blue, which it did. Blue then joins him, and Koga commands his Golbat to use Leech Life on himself. His blood is then put on Arbok's torso to prevent its ability to change its pattern. Without Arbok's ability, Agatha was defeated.
====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Koga helps the [[Pallet Town]] Trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] at [[Cerise Island]]. Koga is paired with Blue and battles Agatha, but Blue first returns his Golbat to him. When the two of them finally meet Agatha in a cave, she uses her Arbok to cause stalactites to rain down on them, separating them. Agatha then makes Blue and Koga's Golbat (that he got paired up with again) face Agatha's Golbat. Meanwhile, Koga's Arbok had to face Agatha's Arbok, which could change its patterns, allowing it to gain the upper hand over Koga. When Blue was blinded from a Haunter's Lick, Koga started throwing his shuriken balls. Agatha thought this was a desperate tactic, but in reality they were Pokémon holding Paralyze Heals. Koga was hoping at least one of them would get to Blue, which it did. Blue then joins him, and Koga commands his Golbat to use Leech Life on himself. His blood is then put on Arbok's torso to prevent its ability to change its pattern. Without Arbok's ability, Agatha was seemingly defeated.


Or so it seemed. In reality, Agatha just pretended to be defeated and had her Gengar masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly suck the life out of them hidden due to Koga's quick loss of blood. After traveling through the maze for a while, they found themselves back where they started with Agatha nowhere to be found. They then figured out her plan and defeated the Gengar, but not before Koga is nearly swept in the collapsing terrain of the destroyed battleground. He narrowly escapes using his {{p|Muk}} to defend him in his wounded state.
However, in reality, Agatha just pretended to be defeated and had her {{TP|Agatha|Gengar}} masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly suck the life out of them. The two did not realize this at first, and reasoned Koga's loss of energy was due to his sudden loss of a large amount of blood. After traveling through the maze of stalactites for a while, they found themselves back where they started with Agatha nowhere to be found. They then figured out her plan and defeated the Gengar, but not before Koga is nearly crushed in the collapsing terrain of the destroyed battleground. He narrowly escapes using his {{p|Muk}} to defend him in his wounded state.


Unlike the other two Rocket Admins, who were instructed to return and manage their gyms, Koga was not even reached by Giovanni. He then disappears for a time, leaving his daughter [[Janine]] in charge of the gym. Janine is worried for her father, but opposes his criminal ties. Later in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, Koga reappeared with a new partner, [[Bruno]], who had saved Koga when Cerise was about to collapse. They trained together for a while and both of them later met their former opponents Red and Blue, whose Rhydon was drilling underground towards [[Ilex Forest]]. Towards the end of the series, Koga and Bruno found [[Will]] and [[Karen]] in the Ilex Forest and persuaded them to work together. The new Elite Four was formed, but were not seen in action until the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}.
====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Unlike the other two Rocket Admins, who were instructed to return and manage their Gyms, Koga could not be reached by Giovanni following the events in Cerise Island. His status for most of this chapter was unclear, with his daughter [[Janine]] being left in charge of the Gym and with no knowledge of his whereabouts. Janine is worried for her missing father, but nonetheless opposes his criminal ties.


Two of Koga's Pokémon have unusual powers: his Arbok can regenerate itself as long as its head remains intact (see above); and his unusually small Golbat's mouth can be used almost like a magic mirror for {{wp|scry}}ing to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way. Blue takes this Golbat and keeps it for quite some time before returning it to Koga at Cerise Island.
Eventually Koga would reappear with a new partner, [[Bruno]], an unwilling member of the Elite Four who had saved Koga when Cerise was about to collapse. The two had since been training together for a while until they met their former opponents Red and Blue, whose Rhydon was drilling underground towards [[Ilex Forest]]. Towards the end of the series, Koga and Bruno meet [[Will]] and [[Karen]] in the Ilex Forest and persuaded the pair of defeated Team Rocket members to work together with them, thus forming what would eventually become a new and official Elite Four.


Koga also uses custom-made [[Poké Ball]]s which can be thrown as {{wp|shuriken}}—perhaps an inspiration for [[Falkner]]’s later boomerang Poké Balls.
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
After a long absence, Koga returns, along with the rest of the Elite Four, in ''[[PS443|Attaway, Aipom!]]''. They face {{adv|Gold}} in the [[Pokéathlon]] Power Course, with Koga taking part in the Circle Push event and easily winning it. Despite this, however, Gold manages to later make a comeback in the final event and win the course.

Koga first appeared in ''[[PM015|Save The Chansey!!]]''. At the beginning of the story, he was depicted as having a greedy personality.


===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
He hired a Chansey torturer to kidnap several {{p|Chansey}} because he wanted them for himself. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} sneaked in with {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}} to rescue the Chansey. However, Koga spotted them and sent out {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Grimer}} to stall them. However, Clefairy defeated them both and rescued the Chansey.

Koga makes an appearance in ''[[PM015|Save The Chansey!!]]'' as he hired a Chansey torturer to kidnap the {{p|Chansey}}. Later, he was one of the participants in the No. 1 Pokémon Contest.


In ''[[PM019|Aim to be the No. 1 Pokémon!!]]'', Koga, now reformed, was revealed to have registered for the No. 1 Pokémon Contest. Koga participates with Ninetales but loses since Ninetales did not dazzle the audience.
After Red's travels in Johto, Koga is revealed to have joined the Johto Elite Four in ''[[PM105|A Challenge to the Elite Four!]]''. He, along with [[Will]] and [[Bruno]] fell from the [[Indigo Plateau|Elite Four Tower]], seemly defeated by [[Karen]]. Red asks them what happened, but Koga asks him to ask Karen directly. It is later revealed that Karen decided to tell them a joke after an exhausting training session, and they fell down the building after hearing the joke.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the manga [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the ninja-in-training [[Walnut]] is an admirer of Koga.
* Out of the original [[Generation I]] [[Gym Leader]]s, Koga has the fewest Trainer cards in the Gym Leader sets of the TCG.
* Out of the original Generation I Gym Leaders, Koga has the fewest Trainer cards in the Gym Leader sets of the TCG. Incidentally, his [[Koga's Ninja Trick (Gym Challenge 115)|only Trainer card]] besides the basic Koga card had to be edited because it featured a {{wp|manji}}, which could have caused controversy between cultures; the infamous Nazi {{wp|swastika}} is a reversed manji.
* Koga is the first [[Elite Four]] member who was introduced in an earlier [[generation]] and then attained the title in a later generation.
* Because he became a member of the [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation II]], he is technically the first member of the Elite Four seen in the anime, though he was not a member at the time he was shown. He is also the only one Ash defeated in battle (again, however, it was as a Gym Leader).
* Koga is the only Gym Leader introduced as of [[Generation V]] who does not appear in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. This is due to his status as an Elite Four member in the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the {{tc|Ninja Boy}} on Route 217 mentions different kinds of ninja in the world. He says, "There are several kinds of ninjas. Are you an Iga or a Kouga ninja?" This is a reference to the two main schools of ninjutsu, Iga-ryu and Kōga-ryu, the latter of which Koga himself is named after.
* Koga uses a {{p|Venomoth}} on his team in all of the games in which [[Sabrina]] does not use one on her team, and vice-versa.
* Koga's {{game|Yellow}} [[party|team]] is of a higher level than his [[Elite Four]] team in Gold, Silver, and Crystal and HeartGold and SoulSilver during the first match with him.
* Koga and [[Janine]] are the only two Gym Leaders to have the same slogan in different generations.
* His {{p|Venomoth}} doesn't appear in Generation I and III, except in {{game|Yellow}}, other than in the anime. Curiously, Venomoth is owned by another [[Gym Leader]] in that generation, [[Sabrina]].
* Koga, [[Bruno]], [[Lance]], and [[Caitlin]] are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in more than one generation (excluding [[remake]]s).
** Koga, Bruno, and Lance are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all the generations prior to [[Generation V]].
* Koga's updated [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] artwork for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} has him in a pose identical to that of his daughter Janine's in her VS artwork, only reversed.
* Koga is the first Elite Four member who was introduced in an earlier generation and then attained the title in a later generation. The second is [[Caitlin]].
* Koga is the second Trainer whose in-game animated sprite has an irregular entrance, coming from the right side of the screen. The first one to have an in-game sprite with an irregular entrance was {{EF|Aaron}} in {{v2|Platinum}}, coming from the top of the screen.
* Koga's Muk and Koga's Swalot are the only Pokémon used in the Pokémon League who hold anything other than a Berry, holding {{DL|In-battle effect item|Black Sludge}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}.
** He is also the only Elite Four member who has more than one Pokémon holding an item.
* Koga is the only [[Gym Leader]] present in the volumes of [[Pokémon Adventures]] that wasn't featured in color artwork on a back cover.
