Spotlights on: Hiyoshi Go


Hiyoshi was the youngest of the Go brothers and the Voltes Team. The TV series illustrates him as a “Child genius” aside from being a seasoned aqua-fighter. He was called “Little Jon” in the dubbed Philippine/English version of the series and there were episodes where he acts as a technical trouble shooter every time a Volt Machine had trouble in the field or if Chodenji Mashin Voltes V was having modifications. Young Hiyoshi loved to invent things and most of the time; he ends up arguing with his oldest brother Kennichi because of his hobbies. Hiyoshi was capable enough to build a small, flying octopi computer called “Tako” (Octo one).

But deep inside, Hiyoshi was just a little boy who was plunged into the harsh reality of a savage invasion and was thrown into danger several times; had seen the death of his own mother and had seen the death of their elderly base commanders. Hiyoshi was the youngest soldier ever to be subjected in an inhuman training session arranged by Professor Sanjuki, student of the late Professor Hamaguchi.

Hiyoshi was a silent yet somewhat tough and cheerful kid who longed to feel the long lost love of his father, and hoped someday to reunite with his missing parent as he and his teammate’s approaches victory.
