Daigoji, Gai

ダイゴウジ・ガイ

Born Jiro Yamada, he maintained that Gai Daigoji was "the name that belongs to (his) soul", and angrily claimed his "true" name whenever anyone used the "other" one. A devoted Gekiganger fan, he was an official pilot who arrived three days early upon learning they would be piloting actual robots like in the anime. Driven by his passion for the show, Gai displayed fierce intensity both in and out of battle, and felt angry and resentful toward Akito for being the first to engage the enemy, thereby stealing "(his) destiny", despite having a broken leg and being unable to fight. The two eventually bonded over Gekiganger, although Gai could not understand why Akito would prefer to be "a dumb cook" rather than a robot pilot.
