History

Kokou was among the Orisha, the pantheon of Wakanda. Kokou was a god of war, from whom some Wakandans draw strength from worshipping him.

The Orisha, including Kokou, originated during time immemorial before the land of Wakanda even had a name. When the pilgrims who traveled to the land entered in conflict with the native beasts that lived on it, the Originators, the heroes that rose among the humans were ascended to gods on faith. The humans and the Orisha defeated the originators and banished them to the Nether-Realms beyond a group of gates. As part of their duty, the Orisha became guardians of these gates.
