Gosha

Gosha (ゴーシャ) is a side character of Beastars. He is Legoshi's grandfather and Leano‘s father, appearing in the later half of the manga.

Appearance
He holds a similar resemblance to Legoshi in stature and facial features, most prominent being their eyes.

Personality
He is a calm individual who would rather avoid conflict than face it head on. This was not true in his earlier years, however.

History
When Gosha was a teenager, he was Yafya's number two and they would fight crime together. While Yafya and Gosha going out for a walk, they spotted and saved a female wolf whom Gosha fell in love with and decided to quit his dream of being a Beastar and settle down with her. His wife gave birth to Leano, a half-wolf half-komodo dragon hybrid. Gosha raised Leano when she was a child after his wife's untimely death. After his daughter committed suicide because she loathed being 'ugly', he decided to take care of his grandson Legoshi until he sent him to Cherryton Boarding High School. Gosha is currently known as an old friendly Komodo dragon in his neighborhood.

Venom
Gosha is able to produce a powerful venom that he secretes from his mouth. He takes care to limit the exposure of his venom to those around him due to its potency, however, its been demonstrated that his direct relatives share an immunity to its effects.

Its been shown in chapter 164 that Gosha's venom has corrosive properties, though to what extant is unknown.

Legoshi
Gosha is the grandfather of Legoshi. Though they seemed to be very close early in his life, Legoshi had become very distant from his grandfather after the death of Leano. While their relationship is not the same as it was, Gosha still deeply cares for his grandson, more so since he his his only living direct family.

Leano
Leano was Gosha's first and only child. Similar to Legoshi, Gosha had a much healthier relationship with his daughter at a young age. However, after Leano committed to distancing herself publicly from Gosha in order to socially pass as a pure blooded grey wolf, they grew more distant. Regardless, Gosha continued to support her, and grieved her later death along with Legoshi.

Gosha's Wife
Not much is known about Gosha's wife. In his recollection of their first encounter, Gosha had saved her from a hippopotamus threatening her. After which, they instantly became infatuated with each other. Some time after, Gosha had revealed she was pregnant with Leano, and committed to providing for and protecting the both of them. As a result, he stepped down from his position as Beastar, leaving Yafya to hold the title alone.

Yafya
Despite Yafya's bitter resentment towards him for stepping down from the position of Beastar, Gosha still considers him a dear friend and cares for his well being. The only instances in which their friendship had been brought to question was directly after Gosha had found out about Yafya endangering Legoshi by recruiting him in his hunt for Melon, though he was eventually brought back to reason.

Trivia

 * As a teenager, Gosha was Yahya's most trusted partner, being able to cover his one blind spot in a fight and add additional support with his venom.
 * In his first appearance as an obscured silhouette, Gosha's hand did not appear as scaly as it is later depicted upon his reveal. This was most likely done by Paru Itagaki to obscure his true species to the readers.
