Biography
Kotarou, a resident of the yellow world, learned Battle Spirits from his father, Ichiro, who wanted to become close to his son after being away. His father caved into his demands so much that Kotarou was allowed to create a replica Pentan Empire, where everyone would become a Pentan for eventual world peace.
When the Violet arrived at the yellow world, Zungurii was determined to Battle for them in Dan's place. However, he wanted a Siegwurm to battle with. Kotarou lent him one, and Zungurii battled with him for the others' freedom. Both were unskilled players who needed to be reminded of the rules, but Kotarou lost in the end. Afterwards, Zungurii returned Siegwurm to him, and they became friends.
