Gorou is Kei Yuki's father in the SSX series. He operates a space station that prints anti-Illumidas propaganda and messages of hope, similar to Radio Free Arcadia, and faxes them to planets across the galaxy. His references to a "Treasure Island legend" pique Harlock's interest, although the newspaperman is initially distrustful of the pirate's motives. After Harlock risks his life to save Kei and Gorou from the Illumidas, Gorou returns the favor by sacrificing his life to defend the Arcadia and entrusting his daughter's care to Harlock. His final words to Kei hold the key to finding the mythical world of Arcadia and Earth's potential salvation.
