Despite that, Koba is not afraid to face challenges that are beyond his level. He has a good level of strategy, by overwhelming Ba'rard, aware that he would give him and Fernando the most trouble. Koba doesn't let his loss get the best of him, as he was still able to show his respect towards Ba'rard and Rezzie, by appearing during the ceremony and continue watching the tournament even when they lost during the first match.

Background
Koba was born in a swordsman clan at a far rural winter village. The clan is exclusive to children only, as due to their lack of recognition and separation from the world, Koba's clan is not well known across the world, making the clan member's abilities above average in swordsmanship. Koba was considered a bastard child since his mother fell in love with his father, who was not part of the clan. Koba was being mistreated while growing up in his village. As he grew up, Koba's wish was to become a powerful swordsman, in order to earn the respect of his fellow clan members despite his family background.

After growing up, Koba left his village for unknown reasons. At some point, he was meditating on a hilltop while overlooking a city. Koba would then sense a high power level, so he masks his ki, only to be found by Fernando, who was trying to find Koba after sensing his ki disappear. Interested in Koba's power, Fernando chooses to battle him. After their fight, Koba was able to impress Fernando, eventually getting along and becoming friends.

When Dr. Groxel announces the 3rd LSW Tournament as a tribute to Red, Koba chooses to partake in it and team up with Fernando as his partner.

Red's 3rd LSW Tournament Saga

At one point, Nando was able to damage Koba, only to get both him and Fernando out of the match. Koba would then battle Felix, overpowering him and winning the match. During the intermission, Koba is shown hanging out with Onis and Nicole, only for their conversation to be interrupted by MadCX, who has a score to settle with Onis as rivals.

Continuing onto the tournament, Team 2 faces off against Ba'rard and Rezzie of Team 5. Initially, Koba faces Ba'rard alone while Fernando keeps Rezzie busy. However, both being aware of Ba'rard being the bigger threat, try to double team and take him out. Koba uses his Blue Tornando attack as a mean to catch Ba'rard off guard, causing Fernando to take Ba'rard out, only to be taken out as well by Rezzie. Despite his best effort, Rezzie managed to overwhelm Koba and lose the match by knockout, letting Team 5 to continue onto the finals. Despite Koba and Fernando losing their match, they continue to watch the tournament to the end and participate in the ceremony.

With Ba'rard and Rezzie being the new tag-team champions, Dr.Groxel asks them to face off against his latest creation, Pix-Bot. Despite their individual power, Pix-Bot managed to overpower both of them with little difficulty. Koba watches their battle occur much to his surprise by the power of Pix-Bot. Though the match was over, Red challenges Pix-Bot, nearly dying from Dr.Groxel's creation. The fellow participants decide to take down Pix-Bot in fear of being a potential threat. Koba does his best in defeating the machine but was unable to do much and was quickly defeated. In the end, both Rezzie and Ba'rard charge one final attack against Pix-Bot, managing to overpower and destroy the machine for good. Dr.Groxel, in a fit of rage, decides to kill Red and everyone else in the tournament, though was quickly stopped easily. Koba celebrates with everyone at the end of the tournament alongside with the other participants. Koba was later shown doing an interview with Ethan and Nando.

Power
Koba is considered a powerful fighter in the realm of Pixtopia, as he was able to participate in the 3rd LSW Tournament and be a candidate to test the capabilities Pix-Bot. Koba was capable of fighting Fernando during the first meeting, who was capable of fighting Neo-Pixel Fighters, Skrays, and High-Level Targons that have power levels over 1,000. Being his partner, Koba is likely just as strong as Fernando.

During his first match, Koba was shown capable of fighting against Felix and Nando, on a one on one fight. Although Nando and Felix were able to damage Koba, he was likely holding back during their match. During Koba's 2nd match, he was able to damage Ba'rard thanks to the assistance of Fernando. Although Ba'rard was unable to go all out during their match, as Rezzie being slightly beneath his power, he was able to overwhelm Koba with little problems, causing Koba to lose by knockout.

When Koba had to face Pix-Bot, he was unable to lay any hits and was quickly defeated even when he was able to use his full power without being restricted by tournament rules.
