Koji

Koji (Japanese: ユウジ Yūji) was the character of the day of the Pokémon anime who appeared in Good 'Quil Hunting. His English voice actor is Ed Paul and his Japanese voice actor is 陶山章央 Akio Suyama.

He was a brash young Trainer who wanted a Cyndaquil and ended up competing with Ash to catch one in a forest. Even though Ash caught one first, Koji goaded Ash into a battle with the prize being the Cyndaquil Ash already captured. Against Brock's better judgment, Ash accepted the challenge and had Cyndaquil battle Koji's Sandslash.

Despite having a disadvantage, Cyndaquil was able to use its speed and Tackle attack to defeat the Sandslash. Koji then decided to try to steal Cyndaquil anyway, only to get badly burned when it used a Flamethrower at him, causing him to run away.
