Goro stands broad-shouldered and imposing, his face perpetually streaked with soot and fine lines etched deeply around his dark eyes. His black hair, shot through with premature gray, is shaved closely at the sides with a slightly longer, unruly top that falls toward a sharp widow's peak. A full, well-kept black beard peppered with gray frames a strong jawline, contrasting the grime that invariably clings to his weathered skin. He moves with the deliberate, heavy grace of a seasoned warrior, each step almost sounding a soft thud against the wooden floor. His yellow lacquered wooden samurai armor, resplendent yet battered, bears edges dulled by countless repairs, worn over plain tunic garb that humbly betrays his merchant roots. Unexpectedly, despite the stern and unyielding mask he wears, his dark eyes sometimes reveal fleeting sparks of warmth when he speaks with those he respects.
