The Kou was small combat bike used by the Zanscare Empire in UC 0153. Its design was similar to the ground use mobile armor ZMT-A03G Galicson. The single-pilot unit was armed with a beam cannon and Gatling gun. In UC 0153, the combat bike types Kou and Otsu were used by the Gattarl squad under the command of Duker Iq, a Gachi Party member obsessed with motorcycles. Iq used his influence to integrate multiple motorcycle-based designs in the empire’s forces.
