The Director (Japanese: きょくちょう Director) is the head of the Radio Tower in Goldenrod City. He appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver.

In the games

A key part of all Johto-based games is Team Rocket's invasion of the Radio Tower. After defeating many Grunts, the player meets up with who is assumed to be the Director. It turns out that this Director is merely an impostor: Team Rocket Executive Petrel disguised as the Director. Once he has been defeated, Petrel will reveal that the Director is in the Goldenrod Tunnel. After rescuing him, the real Director will give the Card Key, that will give access to the fifth floor, where Team Rocket's Executives are.

Once Team Rocket has been conclusively defeated and disbanded, the Director will express his gratitude by awarding an item. In Pokémon Gold and HeartGold he will give the Rainbow Wing, in Pokémon Silver and SoulSilver he will give the Silver Wing, and in Pokémon Crystal he will give the Clear Bell. The Director supposedly found the item given when the tower previously there was knocked down, and they are all used in summoning a legendary Pokémon, specifically the game mascots Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Suicune respectively.

Hirō (leftmost) in Pokémon Adventures

The Director, known as Hirō (Japanese: ヒロオ Hirō), appears as a recurring character in this series. He first appears in Smeargle Smudge inviting Gold to participate in a radio show at the Goldenrod Radio Tower. He is later seen with DJ Mary broadcasting events such as Gold's race against Whitney, her visit to Mahogany Gym and the battles between Gym Leaders from Kanto and Johto.

In the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc, he appears with Mary broadcasting the Pokéathlon events. When Lance's rampaging Dragonite suddenly attacks the area, Hirō ends up landing on its head. He is saved by Gold, who forces him to drive all the way to Ecruteak City so that he can see the Kimono Girls. When he arrives at the Ecruteak Gym destroyed by Arceus, Hirō decides to make a two-hour radio special to cover the events.

Later, when the battle with Arceus had ended, Hirō arrives, where he reveals his plan to Gold. Much to Gold's confusion, Hirō had recorded the events with a video camera despite working in the radio business. Hirō reveals that he plans on going into the television business, and has already thought up a show for children called Proteam Omega, which is based on Red's team.
