Toshiro Kago

Toshiro Kago is an abducted samurai found aboard Mothership Zeta in 2277.

Background
Toshiro Kago is one of the four people that the Lone Wanderer thaws out on board Mothership Zeta. As he doesn't speak English and no other character speaks Japanese, conversation is largely limited to gestures. Paulson refers to him as "the Chinaman," until Sally corrects him, after which Paulson changes his description to "oriental."

It appears Kago is a samurai warrior, and well-skilled in sword combat. He is capable of slaying aliens, should the samurai's sword be presented to him.

Origins
Toshiro Kago is from Japan, born sometime before 1562 and participated in many battles for the Oda Clan.

After the decimation of the Oda clan, he fought for one or more other unknown clans during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568–1603). Also, during the Tokugawa shogunate (1600–1868), Toshiro chose the "wood sorrel" mon for his name and placed it on his okegawa dô. That makes him the oldest NPC of all the Fallout games, as he was born sometime before 1562, making him more than 715 years old in 2277.

Quests

 * Among the Stars: Toshiro can be spoken to about his missing sword and the Lone Wanderer can return it to him after retrieving it from the maintenance level.
 * This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough...: During the final battle on the bridge, after the first wave of aliens are defeated, Toshiro will run in from a side door and assist Paulson and Somah in battling the next wave of attackers.

Effects of player's actions
After the events of Mothership Zeta, he stays aboard Zeta and cannot be interacted with. He will disappear if one revisits the Steamworks but will remain on the bridge if the player character travels to or from the Capital Wasteland. He can be found later in the living quarters.

Other interactions
Despite being unable to understand English, Toshiro still responds with different dialogue depending on whether the player character speaks to him with the polite, neutral, or smarmy dialogue options, presumably picking up on the player character's tone and body language.

Inventory

 * * Toshiro will use the sword if it is either recovered from the waste disposal area and given it to him, or if one never enters the Disposal area. Should the player decide to keep the sword, he will be unarmed.

Appearances
Toshiro Kago appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.

Bugs
After completing the main quest of Mothership Zeta, with Toshiro still alive, it is possible to pickpocket him. In his inventory, his samurai sword will appear but trying to steal it may result in the game crashing.
