 Koga Ogami |

| |
As an idol pursuing a rock life, Koga hates any conservative manners. He is ardent and impulsive, and is constantly dealing with adolescence-esque struggles, but he also possesses good sensibility. Koga's performances are dynamic and hot-blooded with a zealous singing voice that bursts with ambition.
Koga is a member of UNDEAD at Rhythm Link. He aims to showcase only the bestest of rock together with his bestest of companions, and be an artist that transcends the boundaries of an idol. Lately, he has been trying his hand at composing.[2]
I'm Koga Ogami from Rhythm Link. Obviously you know that already. I'm workin' in a unit called UNDEAD. I wanna perform the best rock music ever. If I'm gonna do that then I can't stay stuck in some puny world forever, ya know? That's why I've been tryin' things I've never known about before. Anyway, I'm gonna give you a show you can't take your eye off of, so you'd better come to one of our lives![2]
ReiKoga is always following along after me; he's a rather adorable person♪ I supposed he can't help it if he loves me that much...♪ Koga is a central figure in the creation of most of UNDEAD's music. He's quite the guitar player. Because Koga is in UNDEAD, we've been able to become the unit we are today.[2]

He wears black pants and high black boots with black laces. He also wears a black studded choker and a black fingerless glove on his left hand.

Personality
Wild with a hearty personality, Koga has great self-confidence and always thinks of himself as the best. A self proclaimed "wolf," he snaps at everyone no matter who they are. Since he has a keen nose, he dislikes things that have a strong smell.
Despite his tough exterior, he actually cares deeply about the people around him (such as his fellow UNDEAD members and the Producer). He likes being depended on, and during the Halloween event, he had gone as far as to sulk after trying to tell Adonis about Halloween, when the latter claims to know about the holiday.
Etymology
Koga's first name consists of two characters which mean "bright, brilliant" (晃) and "fang" (牙), respectively. His last name (大神) literally means "great deity," but is also a pun on the word ōkami (狼), meaning "wolf." Koga's name is thus related to various aspects of his physical and personality traits, such as his great physique, hair color, wild personality, and keen sense of smell.

Commentary
Voice Actor Comments
"Just as his name implies, Koga-kun is the type of boy who seems like he'd sink his fangs into you without batting an eye. Imagine this. It's summer. Here's a boy who can't be honest with himself. But every now and then, his gentleness which occasionally surfaces would start to sink in from where he bites you. Please, do love him." (Enstars!)[7]
"Gami! Let's keep on chomp-chompin'!!" (Enstars!!)[8]
Main Scenario Writer's Comments
"This kid is your typical ore-sama character, but the more I write him the more of an idiot he becomes, so someone please help Akira." —Akira (Character VA Pre-release)[9]
"The ties are meant to be colored by year, but this kid's the only one wearing something of his own choosing, so I wondered if he was perhaps a child prodigy who skipped a grade... but that's probably not the case. He's an idiot. I think he's just trying to act like some outlaw (Wha~)." —Akira (Character Visual Pre-release)[10]
"He definitely had a more flashy, dazzling feel at the beginning, but when the person in charge of the Ensemble Stars! novel said to me, "Koga-kun's just a bundle of cuteness, isn't he~♪", I found myself replying "You're so right", it had me wondering a bit if this was fine." —Akira (Official Works, Artbook)[11]
