'''Koichi''' (Japanese: '''タケノリ''' ''Takenori'') is a {{tc|Black Belt}} and the leader of the [[Fighting Dojo]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Karate Master''' (Japanese: '''からてだいおう''' ''Great {{tc|Black Belt|Karate King}}'').
 
==In the games==
Koichi is a leader of [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. At one point, Koichi was the Gym Leader of Saffron City until his Gym lost official privileges as a result of a duel between himself and [[Sabrina]]. It has since become a place where he and his students train Karate. The {{player}} obtains a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or a {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward for beating Koichi.
 
Koichi's name was not revealed until [[Generation III]]. He is also known as the '''Karate Master''' (Japanese: '''カラテだいおう'''{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} / '''からてだいおう'''{{sup/7|PE}} ''Great Karate King'').

Soon after, he tells Goh that it was time for them to battle. Presumably, Goh wins the battle as it's later revealed that Goh received a [[List of Goh's Pokémon#Hitmonchan|Hitmonchan]] from the Dojo.

==Trivia==
''Karate Master''
* Karate Master is based on a character from the games, although [[Kiyo|two]] [[Master Hamm|other]] characters appeared with a similar background in the anime, this version is more faithful to that shown in the games of [[Generation I]], [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation VII|VII]].
