Kaoru Gōtokuji

is a pompadoured fight-enthusiast and color commentator at the Festival arc tournament. A skilled fighter in his own right where Negi eliminated Kaoru in the elimination matches of the Mahora Martial Arts Tournament.

Personality
Despite his rough and somewhat ridiculous appearance, Kaoru is a nice person (who whole-heartedly admitted his loss to Negi and even encouraged him to go for it and offered him gum). He seems to have a rather extensive knowledge of various forms of martial arts (for instance, as the explainer for the Mahora tournament, he is able to identify most of the techniques used, like Mana's Rakansen and Takamichi's Iaiken techniques). He placed an impressive seventh in the Mage-vs-Martians battle, but only won a mere 40 meal tickets.

Abilities

 * Martial Arts Veteran:
 * Kaoru is trained under the school to which he self-proclaims 30-dan in rank, and is also an able ki-user.
