How Old is Gorou in Genshin Impact? Age, Skills, and Relationships Explored

Have you ever found yourself lost on the internet, trying to figure out if Gorou is an adult or a teen? You’re not the only one! There are not one, but two Gorous in different universes. Get ready as we explore the Gorou-verse. We’ll clear up all your questions, and some you didn’t even think to ask.

Genshin Impact’s Gorou: The Canine General

First, let’s look at the Gorou from Genshin Impact. This Gorou isn’t typical. He leads the resistance in Inazuma. Imagine a sunshine boy who is also a military strategist. Yes, he has dog ears and a tail – he’s a Shiba Inu boy! Gorou is indeed a Shiba Inu, with cute features. His ears respond to his feelings, and he can almost understand dog barks. Gorou is a good boy.

How Old is This Shiba Inu General?

Age is a common question. Character statistics suggest that Gorou is around 20-23 years old. He fits the “Medium Male” category. He can lead armies yet remains one of the younger adult characters in Teyvat. Zhongli is ancient (over 6000 years old). Klee is just three. Sayu is 13-14, while Wanderer (Scaramouche) is about 500. Gorou is young but experienced.

Gorou’s Combat Skills and Healing Limits

In battle, Gorou is a Geo character. He’s focused on buffing allies, especially Geo ones. He’s a support character. Interestingly, Gorou can heal only if you unlock his Constellation 4. His healing is burst-activated, not skill-based. To optimize him, focus on Energy Recharge. Aim for 220% ER with Favonius Warbow, and up to 250% without. The Favonius Warbow is key. It supports team bursts.

Gorou’s Relationships: Who Does He Like?

Now for the relationships. Gorou greatly respects Kokomi. He believes her strategic mind helps the resistance succeed. Some players see a romance here due to Gorou’s admiration in the Archon Quest. The fandom has theories about mutual pining and one-sided crushes. It’s all very dramatic.

Next is the Traveler. Gorou’s interest in them is noted by fans, regardless of gender. This hints that Gorou might be bisexual or pansexual, appreciating individuals for who they are. Good boy, Gorou.

Don’t forget Arataki Itto! The IttoGorou pairing is popular. They have a classic dynamic. Who doesn’t enjoy some banter between a himbo and his grounded friend? And remember Miss Hina? Gorou has a crush on her, but here’s the twist: she is Gorou in drag! Even when Traveler and Paimon try to hint to him, he remains oblivious. Poor Gorou. Additionally, there are AyaItto (Ayato/Itto) and IttoSara (Itto/Kujou Sara). Itto is quite popular! Let’s also mention Kuki Shinobu, seen as Itto’s sidekick.

One more thing: Gorou seems to show signs of being a tsundere. Picture him secretly caring for loved ones while denying his feelings. Classic tsundere dog-boy.

Gorou Amamiya: From Doctor to Reincarnated Fan in Oshi no Ko

Now, let’s move to Oshi no Ko, where we meet a different Gorou. Gorou Amamiya was an obstetrician-gynecologist in Miyazaki Prefecture. In his past life, he was a doctor in his mid-thirties. Quite a change.

Past Lives and Romantic Links

Here’s where it gets interesting. In Oshi no Ko, Aqua and Ruby Hoshino are reincarnations of Gorou Amamiya and Sarina Tendouji. Mind-blowing, right? Sarina was Gorou’s patient and developed feelings for him. Despite being her doctor, Gorou became her caretaker during her hospital stay. They grew close, and Sarina fell for Gorou, becoming her first love. Sadly, their story turns dark.

In a cruel twist, Hikaru Kamiki masterminded both Ai’s and Gorou’s murders. He’s the biological father of Aqua and Ruby. Complicated family dynamics! Hikaru manipulated Ryosuke into murdering Ai, using Ryosuke’s outrage upon learning Ai’s secret motherhood. Gorou was embroiled in this mess. While investigating Ai, he raised suspicion from Ryosuke, leading to a chase that ended with Ryosuke pushing Gorou off a cliff.

Reincarnation, Romance, and Ruby’s Bold Moves

Fast forward to reincarnated forms in Oshi no Ko. Aqua’s main love interest is Kana Arima, though their love journey evolves over time. But wait! In Chapter 143 of Oshi no Ko, Ruby and Aqua embrace after Ruby confesses her feelings for Aqua/Gorou during a movie rehearsal. Ruby suggests they picture a reality where she’s Sarina and he’s Gorou. Full circle! Yet, romance isn’t always easy. Aqua and Akane Kurokawa were together but broke up after Aqua learns his father is alive and worries for Akane’s safety. Drama unfolds!

Age Check on Oshi no Ko Characters (and Famous Celebs)

Now that we’re discussing ages, let’s check other Oshi no Ko characters for perspective: Ruby Hoshino is 16; Kana Arima and Akane Kurokawa are both 17; Mem-cho is 25. They are all young, navigating an entertaining yet chaotic life. And for fun, some real-world ages: Dori Sakurada, Japanese singer and actor, was born in 1991, making him 32 by March 2025. Kazuha Nakamura from LE SSERAFIM, born in 2003, will be 21 by March 2025.

So, there it is! Two Gorous, from two different worlds, both fascinating in their own right. Whether you’re team Genshin Impact Gorou, the loyal Shiba Inu general, or Oshi no Ko‘s Gorou Amamiya, the reincarnated doctor. One fact remains clear: the name “Gorou” holds significance and perhaps a little dog-like charm.
