Toshiro Kago

Toshiro Kago is an abducted samurai found aboard 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 stolid man named Toshiro Kago. His lack of English, and your inability to converse in Japanese, mean conversation is never more than stilted guestures. Paulson refers to him as "the Chinaman," until Sally corrects him. It appears Kago is a Samurai warrior, and well-skilled in sword combat. His armor appears to date from around the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1603) suggesting that aliens have visited the Earth throughout history. He is more than capable of slaying aliens if a particular ceremonial blade is presented to him. Or he can be slain without your other allies protesting.

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.

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 and Somah in battling the next wave of attackers.

Effects of player actions

 * After the events of Mothership Zeta, he stays aboard Zeta 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. He can be found later on in the living quarters.

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.

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.''

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, but you can shoot the samurai's sword out of his hand, and take it.
