Toshiro Kago

Toshiro Kago is a samurai in Mothership Zeta in 2277.

Background
One of the four entities that you thaw out during the abduction exploration on board Mothership Zeta is a silent and stoic man named Toshiro Kago. His lack of English, and your inability to converse in Japanese, mean conversation is never more than stilted gestures. His armor appears to date from around the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1603), suggesting that Aliens have visited the Earth throughout history.

Quests

 * Among the Stars: Toshiro can be spoken to about his missing sword and you 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 in battling the next wave of attackers.

Effects of player actions

 * After the events of Mothership Zeta he stays aboard the ship and cannot be interacted with. He will disappear if you revisit the Steamworks, but will remain on the bridge if you travel to or from the Capital Wasteland.

Other interactions

 * Despite being unable to understand English, Toshiro still responds with different dialogue depending on whether the player speaks to him with the polite, neutral, or smarmy dialogue options, presumably picking up on the player's tone and body language.
 * You can obtain his Samurai armor and Samurai helmet by reverse-pickpocketing him a stronger set of armor such as the power armor and power helmet that can be found in the Cargo hold. He is difficult to steal from so try using a stealth boy and while hidden, reverse pickpocket a cryo mine or cryo grenade into his inventory and back away. When the cryo explodes, he will be stunned, allowing you to run up to him, access his inventory, and pickpocket at will. If he had his sword, he may also drop it while frozen. Alternatively, you can attack him at any time in the game and kill him and none of the other NPCs will turn hostile.

Inventory
* ''Toshiro will use the sword if you either recover it from the waste disposal area and give it to him, or if you never enter the Disposal area. Should you decide to keep the sword, he will be unarmed.''

Notable quotes
A rough translation of some of Toshiro's dialogue is as follows:
 * "Onushi wa nanimono? Koko wa dokoda?"
 * "What/who are you? Where is this place?"
 * "Sessha no ken! Sessha no ken wa dokoda?"
 * "My sword! Where is my sword?"
 * "Sappari wakaranai. Koko ga doko nanoka mouse. Sessha no ken wa doushita?"
 * "I don't understand [you] at all. Tell me where this place is! What has become of my sword?"
 * "Sessha no ken wa dokoda? Ima sugu kaesanu ka?"
 * "Where is my sword? Return it now!"
 * "Nani wo itteorunoda. Sappari wakaran. Nantoka shitekure!"
 * "What are you saying? I can't understand. Please do something!"
 * "Nantoka senuka! Sessha no ken wa ittai doko ni aru no ka?"
 * "Won't you do something?! Where the hell is my sword?"
 * "Nani wo itte orunoda. Kono chi ni mioboe no nai. Ittai sessha ni nani wo shita?"
 * "What are you saying? This place does not look familiar to me. What the hell has been done to me?"
 * "Sessha no ken wo imasugu kaesunoda. Hayaku kaesanu ka."
 * "Return my sword immediately. Hurry and return it!"
 * "Onushi wa ittai nani mono? Sessha wa naze koko ni iru?"
 * "What on earth are you? Why am I here?"
 * "Sessha no ken wa do natta. Eei, hayaku kaesanu ka!"
 * "What happened to my sword? Argh, return it at once!"
 * "Youkai kara mi wo mamoru niwa, ken ga iru!"
 * "I need my sword to defend against [these] monsters!"
 * "Nani ga okotta no ka, kento tsukanu."
 * "What has happened? I cannot understand at all!"
 * "Youjutsu de sessha wo toraete youkai me. Kono mama de wa okanu zo!"
 * "These wretched monsters have taken me captive with their sorcery. I cannot be left like this!"
 * "Ken wo ubawarete shimatta, taegataki kutsujoku!"
 * "I have been robbed of my sword - this is an unbearable disgrace!"
 * "Ken wo sugu torimodosaneba naranu!"
 * "I must take back my sword immediately!"
 * "Hito wo azakeruna. Onushi no monoii wa sappari wakaran."
 * "Do not mock me! I cannot understand a word you are saying."
 * "Sessha wo tasuketakuba, sessha no ken wo sagashi dase!"
 * "If you want to help me, go and search for my sword!"
 * "Nanto? Nani wo nozonde orunoda. Nani yue, onushi no iu koto ga wakaranu no da?"
 * "What? What do you want? How is it that I have no idea what you are saying?"
 * "Onushi, naniyue sonoyo ni hanasu? Nanika shomo no mono demo arunoka?"
 * "You, why are you talking like that? Is there something you want?"
 * "Aa, sessha no ken! Kaeshite moraerutowa, katajikenai."
 * "Oh, my sword! I am most grateful for its return!"
 * "Aa, korekoso sessha no ken. Katajike nai."
 * "Oh, this is my sword! My utmost thanks!"
 * "Sumanuga, sessha mizukara korekara okorukotoni sonaeneba naranu."
 * "I am sorry, but I must now prepare myself for what is to come."
 * "Jyama wo suru na."
 * "Don't get in my way."

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

Behind the scenes

 * The symbol on the Samurai armor's chest is similar to that of the Oda clan. Also, his helmet is similar of the Tokugawa clan leader because of the unique horns.

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, but you can shoot the Samurai's sword out of his hand, and take it. (confirmed Xbox 360)
 * If you kill Toshiro once you thaw him out, scripted dialogue options about him with the other NPCs will remain and he will still leave at some point, grabbing his sword from the waste disposal area when doing so. However, he will NOT return to the bridge with the other NPCs later, meaning that if you did not get his sword before he leaves, it will be impossible to obtain. If you want both his sword and armor, do NOT kill him right away. Grab his sword from the waste disposal area first or wait for him to get it himself and deal with him when he returns to the bridge later.
 * The door to the powered down teleporter (on the left side of the bridge) may not open properly and forever trap Toshiro inside after you complete the main quest. There are 2 ways to prevent this; make sure Toshiro has time to open the door from his side during an alien wave, or allow Sally to flee long enough to run to the door and open it, who will then immediatly greet Toshiro.
