Life
His early life is unknown because he is one of the main characters, and  the main characters early lives are not that revealed. This also includes Ying, Yaya, Ochobot and BoBoiBoy. Some even say that Gopal is only a minor character to fill the missing character in the TV show BoBoiBoy.

His first appearance started as a 4th grader student and then he met Boboiboy. He is older than BoBoiBoy one year old but he same class with BoBoiBoy because when his father, Mr.Kumar forgot about the year when he was born.

He lives with his father and his mother, who never appeared on the series. He and BoBoiBoy are bestfriends, so Gopal always asks BoBoiBoy's Grandad (Tok Aba) for free drinks. His mother is unknown because she never appeared throughout the series. Not much is known about Gopal's early life because He did not mentioned it.

Powers
His powers were given by Ochobot but he forgot what Gopal's powers were after being kicked by BoBoiBoy when he wanted to protect Ochobot from Adu Du, who caught him in order to give him powers. But Ochobot is programmed to give powers to whoever activates him and refused Adu Du. Gopal didn't know what his powers are and how to use them. He then tried many types of powers but failed. Although BoBoiBoy also tried to help him, but failed as well. Until Adu Du kidnapped all of BoBoiBoy's friends including Gopal, Adu Du threatened him to show his powers. He was first scared but then realized his power is transforming anything he touches into food. Gopal's Power increases whenever he becomes scared according to computer. He once tried to make Boboiboy a chocolate but failed. But Some of the failed ideas were:

1. Being untouchable

2. Super strength (Gopal tried to lift a lorry)

3. Breathing underwater

4. Telekinesis (Gopal tried to move a bottle using his mind)

5. Flight a.k.a. Go, Go, Gopal! (Like Yaya's powers)

6. Seeing and catching things in the dark (this power is called "Spider-Senses" in the YouTube English version)

7. Shooting laser beams from his eyes.

8. Teleporting

9. Patience

(Some scenes of "Go, Go, Gopal!" was cut in Disney Channel Asia as the scene looks like Gopal is about to suicide but it wasn't cut in the Youtube english version)'''

His power is later revealed by Ejo Jo's Computer to be Molecule Manipulation. He can actually rearrange the molecular structure of any object to turn it into food but because he always thinks about food, he only changes things into food.

As the series carry on, BoBoiBoy and Gopal's friendship goes deeper. BoBoiBoy frequently helps Gopal while Gopal helps him back. In Season 2, Gopal reveals to miss BoBoiBoy after he returns home, so much that he "can't sleep or eat". Gopal is really glad when BoBoiBoy's back. This shows that they are really best friends. Again, the two continue to help each other at school, during battles and situations.

Ying

In the first episode of the series, Gopal says Ying is like a weirdo because she's too shy to order drinks directly. Ying also likes making fun of him, such as startling or scaring him with Multi-monster in episode 8. However, Ying and Gopal team up well with the others to win Adu Du during battles.

Tok Aba

Gopal is his loyal costumer since the day when the shop is opened. There are times that Gopal had debts and requests to claim 100% discount at the price of his coco but Tok Aba did not agreed because this shop is his way of living.At the first season Gopal became BoBoiBoy's best friend and requested a free drink.

Papa Zolam

Gopal is Papa Zola's self-proclaimed #1 fan. When Papa Zola's leg was stuck, Gopal had tears in he's eyes for emotion and so did Boboiboy. When Boboiboy and Gopal played Papa Zola Game they got trapped. After Papa Zola came out of the game, Gopal begged Papa Zola to take him as his disciple. Papa Zola is a sort of mentor and role model to Gopal.

Health
Gopal is a fat and a bit slow because he likes to eat unhealthy food such as sweets which Yaya doesn't like about him as seen in a commercial which appeared in Episode 19. He sometimes turns objects into food that are healthy but he only does it if he is NOT eating the food and SOMEONE else is.

It is seen that in Episode 19 and in What Yaya Says that Gopal changed some junk into junk food when Yaya scolded them Gopal reasoned that it's delicous then Yaya told them it may be delicous but not good for their health, then Gopal said that he's always healthy but then his tooth fell out, then Yaya reminds us not to eat junk foods or if we eat to much junk foods our teeth may loose just like what happened to Gopal. Gopal is a boy who likes to eat lots of sweets and junk foods so he's a little bit unhealthy.
