Kohga is the founder of the Yiga Clan, a group of Sheikah rebels devoted to Calamity Canon. Though the Yiga are not the same splinter group as the legendary Sheikah oathbreakers. While the oathbreakers raised a makeshift army and stood in rebellion of the throne, the Yiga are more of a ragtag band of gangsters who proliferated through Hyrule during the hundred years between the fall of the Hero of the Wild and his resurrection. During this time, many Hylians, in perceived abandonment by their royal family and institutions, turned to fanaticism. They sought solace and comfort in the cultlike order of the Yiga.
             A Firey Ninja. Despite the seemingly earnest and dutiful actions of the Yiga clan's footsoldiers, Kohga is informal, boisterous, and quick to lose his temper. He is very confident in his physical abilities, describing himself as "strong" and "burly". He seems to be a charismatic leader, as members of his clan will attempt to avenge him after any defeat. Though he is a master of the esoteric arts of ninjutsu, Kohga himself is actually quite lazy and slothful as he spends most of his time napping and loafing about, leaving hunting of Ganon's enemies to his loyal subordinates. This diminishes the potential threat he and the Yiga Clan could pose were he a more active leader. He routinely fails to take full advantage of having a dedicated and capable army at his disposal to eliminate the Yiga Clan's enemies.
              Magical Attacks. Though Kohga may have once been an imposing physical opponent, he prefers to use magical abilities in combat. These include teleportation, levitation, the creation of magical wards, and the conjuration of large boulders that he hurls at his opponents.
