History[]
Part I[]
First Step Arc[]
Gotō is beaten by Takamura.
Prior to Ippo Makunouchi's match with Kazuki Sanada, Gotō helped explain to Ippo about what the "Hien" was by explaining what the aircraft with the same name was. Later, in order to get Ippo to confess to Kumi Mashiba by Masaru Aoki, Tatsuya Kimura and Mamoru Takamura, Ippo only agreed to do it if they were able to beat him in an arm wrestling competition. Gotō took part in that arm wrestling competition, replacing Takamura. When Kimura and Aoki got defeated, Takamura knocked out Gotō to take his place in the competition as he believed Gotō stood no chance.
Part II[]
Phantom Card Arc[]
At the Kamogawa gym, since Aoki was angry at Takamura for feeding him the pickled squid that made him sick and was tired of Takamura's actions, he tried to split the gym into two factions, with Takamura being alone and the rest of the gym on Aoki's side. Gotō and the rest of the gym went to Takamura's side after Haruhiko Yagi and Shinoda revealed to everyone about how Broccoman's popularity has severely gone down due to recent reports of Aoki leaving the Kōrakuen Hall while covered in faeces.
