Kongoh


Unit formed in May 2019 by Kenoh, who was protesting against the new Noah owners LIDET (Kenoh is paranoid and thinks they are keeping him down). The unit currently consists of Kenoh, Atsushi Kotoge, Yoshiki Inamura and Masa Kitamiya ("The Tough").

The name "Kongoh" has a triple meaning; the meaning Kenoh intended primarily is "diamond" (as he is always shrieking that he will make Noah's ring shine). The other meaning is the thunderbolt, which is the Buddhist symbol of truth (again which also plays into Kenoh's statement of how Kongoh is the only truth in Noah, and how they are the only ones who are not afraid to speak it), the third meaning is the Kongōrikishi, who are the muscular guardians of Buddha, and who are depicted as wrestler like (it should be noted that some Japanese fans fine this last meaning to be inauspicious).
