History
Early life[]
Even in her early life, Gogo loved going fast. As a toddler she would break the rules and crash tricycles. As a teen, along with being a triathlete she had won dozens of racing contests (including placing twice in the San Fransokyo Criterium), working herself to the limit. Her quest to build a faster bike led to her love of mechanical engineering.
From around 2025-2029 she attended City Honors Academy. Around graduation she sent in her application to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology to attend as a Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design major. Gogo was accepted and started presumably in fall of 2029.[1]
Starting SFIT[]
Early on in her SFIT career, Gogo would befriend Honey Lemon, Wasabi-No Ginger, Tadashi Hamada, and honorary mascot Frederick Frederickson IV; the latter of whom would give the first three their nicknames.[2]
During her freshman year of 2029-2030 she submitted a prototype of a building being supported by magnetic suspension to propose a possible method of preventing buildings from being destroyed by an earthquake, which helped her pass the assignment.[3]
Around 2030, she would meet Olivia Vega; an engineering student who would admire her work and follow her studies closely. Vega would leave that same year to care for her aging grandmother.[4]
Meeting Tadashi’s brother[]
Becoming a superhero[]
Reestablishing Big Hero 6[]
The day after Callahan was arrested, Gogo and the gang gave Hiro a tour for his first class day, the four briefly mourning Tadashi upon seeing his lab. Soon after, upon discovering Baymax's programming chip survived the distraction, Hiro was able to recreate the lovable robot. Meanwhile, Fred tried convincing Wasabi, Go Go, and Honey Lemon into being superheroes once more, but Go Go refused by saying it was a one-time thing, and that supervillains do not actually exist. Still, the four of them went out for night patrol, and stopped a car going at high speed, believing that it was stolen, only to find out it was a couple rushing to the hospital, so Go Go, Honey, and Wasabi went back frustrated and angry. On the other hand, Baymax's exoskeleton had fallen into hands of a criminal known as Yama, who later captured Hiro and Fred as well when they tried to get the body back. When Wasabi, Go Go, and Honey tried to invite Hiro to go eat at Noodle Burger, Baymax's consciousness in a computer told them that he had gone to Yama's, so the trio geared up and saved their friends.
After this, Hiro told them that Yama had blackmailed him into stealing a paperweight from one of their professor's desk, but Hiro got it back and returned it. Fred also believed that now they would really want to continue being superheroes, even coming up with the name Big Hero 6, but once more they all said no. Still, they had to suit up for battle one more time when they found out that clones of Baymax created by Yama were attacking the city, so they got to the scene and fought the evil robots. Afterwards, they went to the S.F.I.T., where they met Hiro and Baymax, who found out that Yama returned for the paperweight. The team then had to stop a train over-charged with energy from the mysterious paperweight, and after succeeding, the team decide it was best to look out for the people of San Fransokyo, thus reforming their superhero team and officially becoming Big Hero 6.Personality
Stoic and strong, yet loyal to the bone, Go Go is an industrial design and mechanical engineering student at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. After a mysterious fire shattered peace and happiness in San Fransokyo, Go Go lent her athletic abilities and "need for speed" to help form the city's newest superhero team, Big Hero 6.
Compared to her teammates, Go Go is tough and extreme, making up for her lack of conversation with bluntness and sarcasm. A straightforward athlete, Go Go lives for the speed and thrill and is willing to take up any challenge. Thanks to her athleticism, Go Go is resourceful and adaptive with and without the use of powers. Unlike most of the team, when it came to facing Yokai, Go Go was able to hold on her own longer and providing enough support for her teammates to launch counterattacks. However, because of her fierce attitude, Go Go is not the most approachable person to be around nor is she willing to accept limits, and at most she can be highly opinionated. Even those closest to her can have a hard time to get her to open up. Due to her dedication to tasks, she also has little patience for people who move at a leisurely or frivolous pace, Fred and Wasabi being notable examples.[2]Attributes

Trivia
- In the comics, Go-Go Tomago's real name is Leiko Tanaka. The real name of her Earth-14123 is never revealed, so fans unofficially refer to her as "Ethel" as per suggestion by her voice actress.[5]
- In the episode "Rivalry Weak", Go-Go is given the codename "Speed Queen" in Karmi's fanfiction.
- Despite Go-Go being the only member to not be referred to by her fanfiction name, it can be assumed that the public will refer to her as such after her teammates have openly embraced their own fanfiction codenames and catchphrases.
- Also deriving from the fanfiction is the term "velocishot," referring to Gogo riding up a wall vertically. After trying this out in real life, Gogo adopts both the term and the technique.
