Goh Hinogami

Intro Goh Hinogami (日守 剛, Hinogami Gō) was introduced in Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution, an update to Virtua Fighter 4. He was one of the two newcomers in the release, along with Brad Burns. He is a Judgement 6 assassin trained in Judo, and his orders are to kill every other playable character. Goh is a ruthless and sinister individual who often taunts his fallen opponents, and frequently even kicks or stomps down on foes after they have been defeated. As an assassin, he expectedly holds other people in low regard, and he sees his opponents only as playthings or a means to further hone his skills. Goh absolutely hates to lose, and takes any sort of defeat very personally. He may also hold a grudge against Jacky Bryant after being defeated by him in the fourth fighting tournament. Goh fights rather viciously, juxtaposing his fighting style, Judo, a gentle martial art more focused on self-defense and taking targets down with little applied force. His personal style of Judo mixes in many striking moves such as punches, kicks, and elbows when he cannot grab his opponent, making it closer resemble a dated form of Judo or in many cases basic brawling, as modern Judo has no such striking techniques. Goh uses his fighting style's focus on throwing as a catalyst for brutality, as he applies excessive force once he has an opponent in his hold. Examples include dislocating or breaking an arm or a leg when his opponent is down, and striking his opponent in the head forcefully and repeatedly after he's pinned them to the ground.
