Kozo Minami (南 光三, Minami Kozo) is the father of Kotaro Minami, and was one of the scientists working for Michinosuke Donami to give birth to the Creation King.

History[]

Kozo Minami was part of a team of researchers employed by Prime Minister Michinosuke Donami during World War II. They were tasked with human experimentation so that a new brand of biological weapons could be created in order to strengthen the military power of the nation. Kozo, alongside another one of his colleagues, Soichiro Akizuki, helped conduct experiment on many veterans for the government.

One day, when a solar eclipse occurred, a human subject transformed into a monster and killed many scientists. Kozo and Soichiro, seeing the aftermath of such an act, wondered if the subject was crying. They continued their research notwithstanding, and the monster would be referred to as the "Creation King" for convenience. Consequently, their research led to the existence of Kaijins as a race and the substance later known as Heat Heaven.

Fearing that the status quo might not last forever, Kozo and Soichiro operated on their own sons, on another day of a solar eclipse. They turned the children into locust Kaijins, giving them two halves of the Kingstone, all in the hope that should something wrong happen to the Creation King in the future, their sons would work together to either kill the Kaijin lord or replace it.

Kozo's son, Kotaro, would eventually succeed in slaying the Creation King, pulling its heart out in the act. Despite this, he was assimilated by the heart and ended up becoming the new Creation King himself. The new Kaijin master met its permanent end at the hands of Aoi Izumi, thanks to the power of the Satansaber.
