Gotho (pronounced "Goto" is a wily, 50-year old Uoodo City weapons dealer with a penchant for moneymaking schemes. He "discovers" Chirico hiding out in his junkyard and sponsors him into Uoodo's Battling, a popular game involving AT pilots pitted against each other while spectators gamble on the outcome. After the fall of Uoodo, Gotho travels with his companions to Kummen, where they build a nightclub to serve the EX-10 mercenary base. Gotho's off world connections also provide him with an arms trading business. Throughout his encounters with Chirico, Gotho emerges as an unlikely father figure despite his shady background.
