For defending Admiral Green Wyatt during the skirmish, he is promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade. After engaging the Mobile Armor MA-06 Val Walo on the Lunar Surface, Kou battles the Cima Fleet once again, but is struck by the loss of Lt. Kou would soon receive his modified Gundam, known as the RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam "Zephyranthes" Full Burnern. The result was a critically damaged Unit 01, which required a massive upgrade by Anaheim on the Moon. While traveling to Von Braun, Kou impulsively takes the GP01, which had not been modified for space combat, out into battle against Cima Garahau. Kou along the way, starts a rough and uneasy relationship with Nina Purpleton, an Anaheim Electronics engineer assigned to the Albion for further studies of Unit 01. He was then assigned to South Burning's team aboard the Albion, in its pursuit to either recapture or destroy the GP02, before the last remnants of Zeon, led by Admiral Aiguille Delaz, decide to destroy the Federation Forces. Kou confronts Gato and the two have a brief duel, but Kou's inexperience, coupled with Gato's years of battle experience and superb piloting skills, allow him to defeat Kou and escape with the Physalis.ĭespite failing to stop the theft of the Gundam, the senior Federation officials were impressed with Kou's performance and made him the Zephyranthes's pilot. Kou, who was in the hangar getting another look at the Gundams, sees the theft and sorties in the Zephyranthes, against orders, in an attempt to stop Gato. Later on during the night, unbeknownst to anyone, former Zeon pilot Anavel Gato, aka the Nightmare of Solomon, successfully infiltrates and steals the Physalis, which is armed with a nuclear warhead, and orders his team in hiding to attack the base, thus officially commencing Operation Stardust. Attempting to get closer to the Gundams, he is stopped by Nina Purpleton, the engineer of the Gundams, who scolds him. Kou and his friend Chuck Keith sneak aboard, and Kou is left awestruck at the sight of the RX-78GP01 Gundam "Zephyranthes" and the RX-78GP02A Gundam "Physalis". He and the other test pilots are easily defeated and return to the base, where they see the arrival of MSC-07 Albion, with Kou noting its similar classification to the MSC-02 White Base and thus getting excited at the idea of a Gundam being on board the ship. Kou is first seen in a MS-06F-2 Zaku II F2 Type having a mock battle against a RGM-79C Powered GM, so as to test the limits of the new GM, with Kou complaining about the Zaku's poor mobility. After graduating from military academy, he was assigned to Torrington Base in the Australian sector of the Federation Ground Forces, where he spent his days as a test pilot. Kou is a graduate of the Nijmegen Military Academy. As a result, he has a deep knowledge of mobile suits, and has a knowledge and observational eye that could be called mania. Having spent the turbulent years of the One Year War as an impressionable boy, he has developed a keen interest in mobile suits, which he studies as a hobby.
