Sonic Wings

Kowful is a man of few words, most of them being "Ha!" He created the robot pilot Tee-Bee A-10 with whom he fights in two-player mode. Like Tee-Bee, Kowful is a cocky pilot who thinks he's the best in the world.

Kowful laughs his way through single-player mode, declaring that he will be the "conqueror" just before the mid-point boss battle. Afterward, Kowful decides that because he is already the strongest person on Earth, he should go on "to the next planet". . . until he realizes that he can't get there in his jet.

In two-player mode, Kowful and Tee-Bee constantly argue over who is the best fighter. After the mid-point boss battle, they continue the argument, but it is revealed that they were actually only playing a Sonic Wings video game.

Sonic Wings 2

In the mid-point sequence for Mecha-Keaton and Silver, Silver brings Keaton's head to Kowful after Keaton's body has been destroyed. Apparently, Kowful was the one who created Keaton's second body. Tee-Bee A-10 is also present in Kowful's laboratory.

Sonic Wings 3

Kowful returns as a playable character in Sonic Wings 3; however, he flies together with Lord River-n-White. The odd couple is for some reason aligned with Germany for the first and only time for either of them. The two have a playfully antagonistic relationship: Kowful calls River old, but River declares he was stronger than Kowful when he was younger. After the final boss battle, it is revealed that River was testing a virtual reality game for Kowful. He complains that the somersaults in the game weren't realistic enough, after which Kowful grabs him and swings him around by his feet.

In two-player mode, Kowful and River fight with Malcolm. More than once, Malcolm declares them (or at least Kowful) to be fools, while River-n-White finds both of his partners to be rude. Once they've defeated the final boss, one of Malcolm's partners (likely Kowful) mentions that Malcolm has been busy since Tao Taido, while the other comments that he isn't familiar with the game. Malcolm decides to educate them by showing them his "desperation technique," one of his more sparkly poses. When Kowful declares that the pose looks stupid, Malcolm is infuriated and attacks them with his Malcolm Flash.

Sonic Wings Special

In Special, Kowful behaves much the same as he does in Sonic Wings, although he does wear the lab coat he first donned in Sonic Wings 2. He's as rowdy and boastful as ever. In two-player mode, he is again paired with his robot Tee-Bee A-10.

One-Player Mode Endings:

Boss battle with Pandora: As in Sonic Wings, Kowful decides that because he is already the strongest person on Earth, he should go on "to the next planet". . . until he realizes that he can't get there in his jet.
Boss battle with Lar: Kowful boasts that he came all the way to another dimension in search of a strong opponent, only to find weakness. Tenukii appears, challenges Kowful. . . and beats him up. A rough translation of this scene is in the gallery below.
Boss battle with Purple Sphere: Kowful swings Lord River-n-White around by his feet as in their ending in Sonic Wings 3.

Two-Player Mode Endings:

Boss battle with Pandora: Even after being defeated, the final boss takes down Kowful and Tee-Bee's planes when it falls from the sky.
Boss battle with Lar: Tee-Bee turns into a rocket, and Kowful rides him off into space.
Boss battle with Purple Sphere: As in their ending in Sonic Wings, Kowful and Tee-Bee are shown battling each other in a video game.
