Gotou is a main antagonist from Parasyte. He is the culmination of 5 of the invading otherworldly parasite organisms inhabiting a single human body meaning the organisms have already gained full control of the vessel's mind.

His appearance initially was a middle aged man with a youthful cheerful expression but due to circumstances he was forced to change it and altered his features so his face appears older and more serious, still retaining black hair but combed neatly.

As a mixture of multiple parasite organisms in a single body, the extent of his capabilities are more diverse now that each parasite controls each limb while one controls the head and body. This ultimately lets him exploit the vessel to its fullest potential which includes strength, speed and being able to shapeshift with any section of his body instead of a singular part. He gains full control of the other parasites within him to fully harden himself for defense and change to adapt to other situations. He also shows great intellect to help utilize his vast array of abilities.
