Gopal Kumar

Gopal A.R. Kumar is one of the main characters in BoBoiBoy and BoBoiBoy Galaxy. He is part of BoBoiBoy's Gang and BoBoiBoy's 'best friend'.

History
Not much is known about Gopal's early life. It's assumed that he lived a rather happy life with his father and mother. He also frequents Tok Aba's cocoa shop, being one of the shop's favorite regulars, often asking for free drinks.

Apparently, when he was registered in school, his father, Mr. Kumar, gave the school Gopal's wrong birthdate and as a result, he is put in BoBoiBoy's grade level.

Personality
Out of all the people in BoBoiBoy's Gang, Gopal is one who likes to favor his own desires and needs among others. He fears for his own life, which can often be a hindrance in battle sometimes, but under extreme fear and stress, he's shown to be quite helpful in some situations, as his power grows when he's afraid. Gopal rather has something benefit himself, but he still has a good heart. Gopal still cares for his friends and he is shown being worried if they're in trouble.

He enjoys food the most, especially Tok Aba's chocolate goodies at the Cocoa Shop or some form of junk food. Gopal is also an opportunist, especially when it comes to benefitting himself. He's shown multiple times to take advantage of things to help gain him something. This is first shown when he automatically glues himself to BoBoiBoy after it's revealed that he was Tok Aba's grandson, so he could get free drinks at the Cocoa Shop.

Abilities
Gopals powers were given by Ochobot, but upon receiving his powers, Ochobot had forgotten what his powers were after he was kicked by BoBoiBoy to save him. After several attempts at trying to figure his own power, only after he and his friend were kidnapped by Adu Du did Gopal reveal that he had the power to turn anything he touches into food, which increases in power when he's scared.

Later, it's revealed that Gopal actually had Molecule Manipulation, which was to transform one object into another, granted it's not another living being. The reason why he could 'only' turn things into food was because it was constantly on his mind. He's shown to be able to transform objects into something else and return it into their original form. In BoBoiBoy: The Movie, he was able to turn himself into said objects; turning himself into Gold, Diamond, and Jelly.
