Profile[]
Appearance[]
Shinji in his prime.
He is an elderly man, and as such has gray hair with wrinkles, including a mustache and short beard; in the present, he is slightly shorter than Linda Belcher. In his earlier years as an actor, he had a much more robust figure, black hair, and light stubble.
Personality[]
Kojima has had difficulty expressing himself with his family, ultimately falling away from his daughter Yuki for 30 years. However, he has been shown to be willing to put in the work after Yuki becomes a mother and wants to be a part of their lives.
Koji is shown to be jovial, outgoing and kind, but also likes to mess with people. During his first meeting with Louise and Bob, he attacked them with a broom before admitting he was joking and quickly befriended the two and showed gratitude when he realized they were fans of his movies.
He gets emotional easy, especially when his daughter is mentioned because of their strained relationship or when something he's ashamed of is brought into the picture.
In his younger days, Koji was a lot more jealous and insecure, as seen with the incident where he felt threatened by the better performance of Itsuki Sugimoto and used his pull with the studio to get the other actor's scenes removed. In the present day, however, he feels remorse over this.
Story[]
He arrives in Ocean Avenue in "Hawk & Chick," hoping to reconnect with his daughter, Yuki Kojima, who played Chick in the film series and moved to America with her mother after Shinji's divorce.
