'''Koga''' (Japanese: '''キョウ''' ''Kyō'') was the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of [[Fuchsia City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}. He is a student of ninjutsu who specializes in {{type2|Poison}} [[Pokémon]]. He handed out the {{Badge|Soul}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeated him.

He was promoted to a {{pkmn|master}} {{type2|Poison}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and became a member of the [[Johto]] [[Elite Four]], at some time after the events of [[Generation I]] and its remakes, but before the events of [[Generation II]] and its remakes, thus leaving his daughter, [[Janine]], in charge of the [[Fuchsia Gym]].

Koga, known as the Poisonous Ninja Master, serves two roles in the Pokémon games. In {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}} he is the leader of the [[Fuchsia Gym]], but is promoted to a member of the [[Elite Four]] in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Koga is a user of the {{type2|Poison}}; he likes the despair and horror that Poison-type Pokémon can inflict on others.

Koga has studied medicine and antidotes; he makes his own potions to heal his Pokémon. He also serves as a teacher. Many students come to him to be trained in the arts of {{wp|Ninjutsu}} and Pokémon. One of his students is his own daughter, [[Janine]], who takes over his Gym in the [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}} storyline. In addition to these roles, Koga also patrols the grounds of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], to ensure that the players of the Safari Game are safe from the [[wild Pokémon]] within.

In [[Generation I]]/{{gen|III}}, Koga's Gym is typically the fifth to be challenged. He has built invisible walls in the Fuchsia City gym, constructing a confusing maze out of them. Koga awaits challengers in the center of the maze, clearly visible, but a group of [[Juggler]]s and [[Tamer]]s&mdash;Koga's students&mdash; must be fought first. Defeating him will earn the successful Trainer {{TM|06|Toxic}} and the {{badge|Soul}}.

With the future of the Gym in his daughter's hands, Koga advances to a role in the Pokémon League of Kanto and Johto before the events of Generation II/IV. In these games, he is the second member of the Elite Four to be faced. The team he uses in this role is similar to his Gym Leader's teams; the main difference is the introduction of {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon not native to Kanto}}. Koga's battle style as an Elite Four member is designed to confound and destroy his opponent in battle. Rather than using brute force, Koga attempts to [[status ailment|confuse, put to sleep, and poison]] his opponent.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Koga.png|thumb|left|215px|Koga in the anime.]]
Koga's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''.

Koga is a ninja who trains in an old mansion, the Fuchsia City Gym, in the woods outside Fuchsia City. The Gym is filled with traps such as fake mirrors, invisible walls, pits, and many {{p|Voltorb}}. [[Aya]], Koga's younger sister, is one of his students.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} managed to overcome the traps in the Gym and Ash was finally able to challenge Koga. Although [[Ash's Pidgeotto]] initially lost to Koga's newly-evolved {{p|Venomoth}}, prompting Ash to call out {{AP|Charmander}}, their match was interrupted when [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal Koga's large supply of Voltorb, although they had raided the Gym with the intent of getting {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon. Team Rocket was stopped by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, allowing Ash and Koga to have a rematch. Pitting Charmander against Koga's {{p|Golbat}}, Ash triumphed and won the Soul Badge.

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Koga's known Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

The battle was interrupted by [[Team Rocket]], and afterward, Koga offered to trade Venomoth to [[Misty]] for her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, but she declined.

Venomoth's known moves are {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}.}}

Voltorb's known moves are {{m|ThunderShock}} and {{m|Selfdestruct}}, which they usually use when a trap is set off.}}

==In the manga==
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Koga EToP.jpg|thumb|right|Koga and Aya in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Koga makes a cameo appearance in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga in the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

In the manga, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} get trapped in [[Fuchsia Gym|Koga's Gym]] while searching for the [[Hidden Village]] with [[Ash's Pikachu]], a {{p|Charmander}}, a {{p|Squirtle}}, a {{p|Kangaskhan}} and {{ka|Tommy}}. Their battle is only shown briefly in a montage sequence and it is unknown whether Team Rocket was victorious or not. It is also never shown if {{Ash}} himself battles Koga.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Koga.PNG|right|frame|Koga in the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
Koga is one of the three villainous heads of Team Rocket, and serves under [[Giovanni]].

Koga debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} chapter in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' searching the {{evostone|Moon Stone}} in [[Mt. Moon]], here Koga fights with {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty]] and forces his Rhyhorn to evolve with a mysterious injection, revealing what happened to Misty's Gyarados when it was kidnapped, however the mission fails. Koga later tries to bump off Red in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]], where he uses a Gastly to reanimate the corpses of dead Pokémon buried there. He also attacks Red with his Arbok. However, {{adv|Blue}} has his {{p|Charmeleon}} slice Arbok in half. Under his boss's orders, he captures {{p|Articuno}} and brings it to [[Saffron City]]. He is once again defeated by Blue at [[Silph Co.]], albeit that he almost killed both of them by not allowing them to reach their Poké Balls by using his Muk, then almost freezing them to death with his Articuno. After he is defeated and knocked out Red gets Koga's Soul Badge and Blue uses his special Golbat to find out where [[Team Rocket]] is holding his grandfather.

Later, Koga helps the [[Pallet Town]] Trainers in the fight against the [[Elite Four]] during the [[Cerise Island]] battle. Koga is paired with Blue and battles Agatha, but Blue first returns his Golbat to him. When the two of them finally meet Agatha, she separates them, making Blue and Koga's Golbat that he got paired up with again face Agatha's Golbat while Koga's Arbok had to face Agatha's Arbok which could change its patterns allowing it to gain the upper hand over Koga. When Blue was paralyzed from a Haunter's Lick he started throwing his shuriken balls which Agatha thought was a desperate tactic but in reality the were Pokémon holding Paralyze Heals hoping just one of them would get to him, which it did. Blue then joins him and with it he commanded it to use Leech Life on himself using his blood and put it on Arbok's torso to prevent its ability to change its pattern. Without Arbok's ability, Agatha was defeated.

Or so it seemed. In reality, Agatha just pretended to be defeated and had her Gengar masquerade as Koga and Blue's shadow to slowly suck the life out of them hidden due to Koga's quick loss of blood. After traveling through the maze for a while, they found themselves back where they started with Agatha nowhere to be found. They then figured out her plan and defeated the Gengar, but not before Koga is nearly swept in the collapsing terrain of the destroyed battleground and narrowly escapes using his {{p|Muk}} to defend him in his wounded state.

Unlike the other two Rocket Admins, who were instructed to return and manage their gyms, Koga was not even reached by Giovanni. He then disappears for a time, leaving Janine in charge of the Gym. Janine is worried for her father, but opposes his criminal ties. At the end of the Johto adventures, Koga decides to ally himself with three other Trainers who had been abandoned by evil organizations: [[Bruno]], [[Will]], and [[Karen]], the former of which he was training with after Bruno saved him from death in the ruins of Cerise Island. 

Years later, in {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, he reappears alongside his teammates.

Two of Koga's Pokémon have unusual powers: his Arbok can regenerate itself as long as its head remains intact (see above); and his unusually small Golbat's mouth can be used almost like a magic mirror for {{wp|scry}}ing to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way. Blue takes this Golbat and keeps it for quite some time before returning it to Koga at Cerise Island.

Koga also uses custom-made [[Poké Ball]]s which can be thrown as {{wp|shuriken}}&mdash;perhaps an inspiration for [[Falkner]]’s later boomerang Poké Balls.

==Trivia==
*In the manga [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the ninja-in-training [[Walnut]] is an admirer of Koga.
*Koga makes a short cameo appearance in a chapter of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga.
*Out of the original Generation I Gym Leaders, Koga has the fewest Trainer cards in the Gym Leader sets of the TCG. Incidentally, his [[Koga's Ninja Trick (Gym Challenge 115)|only Trainer card]] besides the basic Koga card had to be edited because it featured a {{wp|manji}}, which could have caused controversy between cultures; the infamous Nazi {{wp|swastika}} is a reversed manji.
*Because he became a member of the [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation II]], he is technically the first member of the Elite Four seen in the anime, though he was not a member at the time he was shown. He is also the only one Ash defeated in battle (again, however, it was as a Gym Leader).
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Ninja Boy]] on Route 217 mentions different kinds of ninja in the world. He says, "There are several kinds of ninjas. Are you an Iga or a Kouga ninja?" This is a reference to the two main schools of ninjutsu, Iga-ryu and Kōga-ryu, the latter of which Koga himself is named after.
* Koga's {{game|Yellow}} [[party|team]] is of a higher level than his [[Elite Four]] team in Gold, Silver, and Crystal and HeartGold and SoulSilver during the first match with him.
* Koga, [[Bruno]], and [[Lance]] are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all four generations.
* Koga's updated [[Sugimori]] artwork for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} has him in a pose identical to that of his daughter Janine's in her VS artwork, only reversed.
* Koga is the second Trainer whose in-game animated sprite has an irregular entrance, coming from the right side of the screen. The first one to have an in-game sprite with an irregular entrance was [[Aaron (Elite Four) | Aaron]] in [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pokémon Platinum]], coming from the top of the screen.
* Koga is the only [[Gym Leader]] that is known to have a [[Janine|daughter]].
