Koji (known as Yūji in the Japanese version) is a one-shot antagonist in the Pokémon anime series, appearing as the main antagonist of the episode Good' Quil Hunting.
He is a brash trainer who wants to catch a Cyndaquil for himself and tried to prevent Ash from trying to catch it even if it means stealing it back from him.
He was voiced by Akio Suiyama in the original Japanese version and by Ted Lewis in the English version.
What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- He is shown to be already arrogant and egotistical as he shouts at Ash for trying catch a Cyndaquil.
- When he sees Ash approaching to a Cyndaquil, he sends out his Sandslash to use Sand Attack on him in attempt to catch it for himself.
- He uses his Sandslash to attack the Cyndaquil while catching it and after it was already caught by Ash.
- Even after Ash caught the Cyndaquil, he still wanted to take it for him and refuses to let him have it.
- He mocks Ash into battling him so he can keep the Cyndaquil for himself.
- He is even mean to his Sandslash. He forced it to continue battling even when it was clearly exhausted from using Fury Swipes too much.
- After Ash and Cyndaquil won and defeated his Sandslash, he outright tries to steal it with a net before Cyndaquil decides to attempt to use its Flamethrower at him before he ran away.
