Goa is a supporting character in the Oshi no Ko manga series. He was the sole screenwriter responsible for adapting the manga series Tokyo Blade into a 2.5D Stage Play, before he worked with the author of Tokyo Blade, Abiko Samejima, and created a new screenplay for the adaptation.
Appearance[]
Goa is a young man with medium-length brown hair that reaches his neck and purple eyes, and a small mole underneath his right eye. In most of his appearances, he wore various fashionable clothes with scarf and earrings.
Personality[]
Goa is shown to be a calm and well-mannered person who is shown to be well-informed about the theater and screenwriting scene. Considering he's a famous screenwriter and what has been shown, he is great at screenwriting as well as adapting previous works into a theatrical form, understanding what can be realistically adapted and what cannot. Notably, Sumiaki states that every play with a script written by him always leaves the audience smiling, demonstrating his immense skill in screenwriting.
Despite the many predicaments of being a screenwriter he mentions, he works hard as one, which implies that he genuinely enjoys his job. The fact that he is said to be successful in screenwriting furthers this. According to Sumiaki, Goa "loves theater from the bottom of his heart". In addition, he has also told Akane that he is a fan of the original Tokyo Blade manga (which would imply he read most if not all of it), suggesting that he actually took the time to read the original work before adapting it. This is something Goa likely applies to any work he adapts, which would further his skill and reputation as a screenwriter.
Plot[]
Due to the incredible budget that the representative of Magic Flow and producer Sumiaki manage to obtain, he begins to hire prominent figures in the industry alongside up-and-coming stars. Goa, a famous screenwriter, is tasked as the screenwriter of the adaptation of the live stage play of Tokyo Blade; making adjustments whenever necessary to better suit the context of the different medium.
These adjustments are, however, not accepted by the mangaka of Tokyo Blade, Abiko Samejima: So much to the point that she threatens to shut down the entire operation if left with unmet demands -- Goa's removal as the screenwriter as one of them.
After some contemplation due to advice Abiko gained from her mentor, Yoriko Kichijouji, she learns and accepts to compromise with the stage crew under the condition that communication be clear-cut among everyone. This leads to a live collaboration between her and Goa on the script. After much banter between the two, in the end, the final product turned out to be quite outrageous. Nevertheless, it was the one Abiko was satisfied with and chose to be the final script.
Relationships[]
Sumiaki Raida[]
Goa and Raida seems to know each other well as colleagues, as they have collaborated in multiple stage production, including Tokyo Blade and Smash Heaven. Their collaboration seems to be extensive as Raida spoke highly of him to Aqua Hoshino and Akane Kurokawa, highlighting Goa's love for theater and his patience during the process of revising his script, and how his script seems to bring a smile to the audience that watches it.
Abiko Samejima[]
Goa did not have a good relationship with Abiko at first, due to her anger regarding his Tokyo Blade stage play script. Abiko went so far as to demand him to be fired from the project, which rattles Goa badly, because he is a big fan of Abiko's work. Later on, however, Abiko slowly warm up to Goa as she was persuaded to work with him, due to her inability to write the script herself, and her admiration towards Goa's work on Smash Heaven that she was given the ticket for.
During their collaboration, Goa and Abiko seems to be closer as they both reconcile their differences and began to understand each other.
On the opening night of the Tokyo Blade stage play, Goa approaches Abiko who went to watch with her former mentor Yoriko Kichijouji, but she seems to have trouble facing him directly and hides behind Yoriko. Yoriko explains that Abiko still has anxiety due to her reclusive nature, but she is happy that Goa is engaging socially with her, signifying that their relationship has indeed gotten better.
