List of Garo characters
Wikimedia list article
This is a list of the various characters throughout the Japanese tokusatsu series Garo, not including the Horrors, a breed of demonic beings that make for most of the series antagonists.
Garo the Golden Knight
The various holders of the title Garo the Golden Knight (黄金騎士・牙狼（ガロ）, Ōgon Kishi Garo) are the main characters of the franchise, armed with the Garouken (牙狼剣, Garōken; Fanged Wolf Sword) blade. The Garo title, based on the word for "hope" in the old Makai language, is traditionally associated with the Saejima family. Garo's Madō Horse (魔導馬, Madōba), a horse-like Makai Beast (魔戒獣, Makaijū) familiar, is Gōten (轟天).
The bearer of the Garo title is regarded to be the strongest Knight and is expected to be a role model for his peers. However, being the Golden Knight is not a formal ranking in itself and does not grant any preferential treatment or special privileges. For example, despite being from the prestigious Saejima family and being the Golden Knight, Kouga served for several years before being promoted to the Senate. Regardless, the title commands respect and reverence among most Makai practitioners. To be in the presence of the Golden Knight is often considered to be an honor and other Makai Knights tend to defer to him. The title's notoriety also extends to Horrors, especially those that are ancient enough to have faced Garo in the past.
