[edit] Story
At the start of Operation Stardust, former Zeon pilot Anavel Gato, known as the Nightmare of Solomon, steals the Gundam GP02A, which is armed with nuclear missiles. In a failed attempt to stop Gato, Kou takes the GP01 and confronts Gato. Kou is assigned to the South Burning team aboard the Albion in its pursuit to either recapture or destroy the GP02 before the last remnants of Zeon led by Admiral Aiguille Delaz decide to destroy the Federation Forces. Kou along the way starts a rough and uneasy relationship with Nina Purpleton, an Anaheim Electronics engineer assigned to the Albion for further studies of Unit 01. He was soon promoted to the rank of Junior Grade Lieutenant after one of his teammates died in action.
In the end of Gundam 0083, Kou Uraki was originally sentenced by a military tribunal to a year of hard labor for his role in Operation Stardust. Federal Forces officials decided to remove his sentencing and reinstate his rank, so as to bury the events of Operation Stardust, including their breach of the Antarctic Treaty.
[edit] Trivia
- Kou shows a humorous disliking towards carrots.
