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.

Background
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.

Season 1
Gopal is a close friend of BoBoiBoy who he met at Tok Aba's Kokotiam. Since that day, they began to get close and often spent their free time playing together, either indoors or outdoors. Since Gopal is best friend with BoBoiBoy, he often asks Tok Aba to give him free drinks and because of that, Gopal owes a lot to Tok Aba.

Ochobot gave Gopal his power watch. Gopal’s power enables him to transform an object into another object by changing the structure of the molecules. But because his mind is always around food, he instantly changes any of the objects into the food he is thinking about. Even so, Gopal often abused his power by turning objects into unhealthy foods and after Gopal got advice from Yaya, Gopal began practicing to turn objects into healthier foods.

Season 2
At Rintis Island Primary School, Gopal is the Assistant Class Leader in Class 5 Honest. However, Gopal is actually a year older than his classmates. Gopal once recounted, when he was enrolled in school before, his father, Mr. Kumar had given Gopal the wrong date of birth and as a result, he was put in the same class as BoBoiBoy.

BoBoiBoy: The Movie
When Ochobot was kidnapped by the Bora Ra with the intention of using it to find Klamkabot; an ancient and powerful Power Sphere that hides itself on Earth. Gopal goes with his friends on The Floating Island to save Ochobot and at the same time reveal the secret behind the mystery of the Power Spheres.

BoBoiBoy Galaxy
Three years have passed since the events that took place in The Movie, Gopal and BoBoiBoy feel bored when they can not use their power because the evil aliens no longer come to Earth and make a mess. One day, Ochobot was suddenly contacted by Koko Ci and asked for help from them. After agreeing to help him find and protect the Power Sphera scattered throughout the galaxy as an insider, Gopal and the others travel across the galaxy.

BoBoiBoy Movie 2
Gopal was on a mission with BoBoiBoy to rescue EggaBot but due to his mistake the Giant Penguin gets angry and chases them both but he was later saved by Yaya. Due to their success in their mission, they were given permission to return to Earth. Once on Earth, they receive an emergency message from ||Koko Ci]] warning that Retak'ka has returned, and directs them to go to Planet Quabaq.

Personality
Among all the members of BoBoiBoy's Gang, Gopal is the one who tends to prioritize his own desires and needs over others' interests the most. He is often afraid and tends to act cowardly, which sometimes hinders the group's performance in battles. However, this trait can also be beneficial as his power increases when he experiences fear. Despite his selfish tendencies, Gopal has a good heart and cares deeply for his friends. He is always worried about their well-being and safety, even risking his life to protect them.

Gopal has a fondness for food, especially Tok Aba's chocolate goodies from the Cocoa Shop, and junk food in general. He is known for frequently asking Tok Aba for complimentary treats, and this has resulted in him accumulating a considerable debt. Gopal is also an opportunist, always on the lookout for ways in which he can benefit himself financially. This is evident in his actions when he capitalizes on Fang's popularity by selling pictures of him to his fans and making a significant profit. Gopal's opportunistic tendencies can be traced back to when he became aware of his relationship with BoBoiBoy and glued himself to him in order to receive free drinks at the Cocoa Shop.

Appearance
Gopal, a person described as having a large body, presented himself with a display of clothing and accessories that included a red band wrapped around his head. His skin was of a dark complexion and his hair was very short, styled in a crew cut. His clothing consisted of a long-sleeved dark green shirt and dark green trousers, followed by a red-edged yellow jacket that featured a gray and red letter 'G' symbol embroidered on the left chest side. And he wore white shoes.

In BoBoiBoy Galaxy, Gopal wore a yellow and green shirt with short sleeves, dark green long pants and gray boots. He also wears red arm warmers on his elbows. Gopal skin color also became bright compared to the original series.

Skills and Abilities
Gopal's powers were given by Ochobot, but after BoBoiBoy kicked him into a tree away from Adu Du, Ochobot forgot what powers he gave to Gopal. He tried several times to figure out his power, but it was only after he and his friends were kidnapped by Adu Du that Gopal was revealed to have the power to turn anything he touched into food, which increased in power whenever he's scared.

Later, it's revealed that Gopal actually had the power of Molecule Manipulation mentioned by Ejo Jo's computer, which meant he could rearrange the molecular structure of an object and transform it into an entirely different object, as long as it was not another living being (e.g. people, animals, aliens, etc.).

The reason he could "only" turn things into food was because that's what was constantly on his mind. He's also able to return transformed objects to their original form.

In BoBoiBoy: The Movie, he received a power upgrade that enabled him to turn himself into different materials; turning himself into gold, diamond, and rubber. But during the events of BoBoiBoy Galaxy, he lost this upgrade.
