[[Kojiro]] is the unofficial name applied by fans to a [[Comm_Trooper|communications trooper]] associated with [[Muro]] in the first half of Oni (Muro's apparent right-hand man). It can be implied from the dialogue that he is a confident marksman and/or fighter, as well as a highly skilled hacker and communications expert. His involvement in the raid on the TCTF HQ ({{C|6}}) shows him (co?)leading the raid, which would make him at least a peer of [[Barabas]].

Seeing as there was a Kojiro-like ONCC early on (with both goggles and tabi boots), it would make sense to assemble such an ONCC and use it consistently in all of Oni.

Commguy.jpg
Comguy Render 1.jpg

Kojiro is the unofficial name applied by fans to a Communications Trooper associated with Muro in the first half of Oni (apparently his right-hand man). It can be implied from the dialogue that he is a confident marksman and/or fighter, as well as a highly skilled hacker and communications expert. The fact that he co-leads the raid on TCTF HQ would make him at least a peer of Barabas.

Despite his importance, he is never named in Oni material, and is merely identified as "Syndicate Henchman" in the subtitles. Coined by Andrashi a.k.a. Loser, the name "Kojiro" was first used in Loser's Warehouse Mod.

Identification

Kojiro is commonly identified as "the Comguy with the goggles", i.e. ONCCcomguy_2, although this isn't consistent:

  • There are several instances of ONCCcomguy_2 that Konoko can confront and kill, i.e. regular "Comguys with goggles" (without tabi boots, though).
  • Sometimes Muro's Comguy doesn't wear goggles, e.g., at the Atmospheric Conversion Center.

In-game appearances

Loser's Warehouse

Loser's Warehouse is a high-difficulty version of CHAPTER 01 . TRIAL RUN, with many unexpected challenges (like having to activate the forklift without using the stairs). The boss fight against Kojiro appears at the end of the mod and constitutes one of Loser's first attempts at realistically unforgiving AI. Before the fight, Kojiro introduces himself both by name and as Mukade's apprentice. Inspired by the Truth Number Zero hypothesis (or was it the other way around?), Loser's Kojiro fights with Ninja moves and is able to teleport. At the end of the fight, he says that the only goal of the (very challenging) fight was to hold Konoko back, allowing either for Muro's preparation of the Musashi/Vago operation, or for some other unspecified initiative (Mukade's?).
