Steve Armstrong is the Voltes V team leader. Born on June 22, he is an 18 year old marksman, a Motocross champion, an ace pilot, and the eldest of the three Gō brothers. During his younger years, Ken'ichi used to behave like a typical playful child prone to mischief but the long absence of his father molded him to become a more responsible son and older sibling. Stern and selfless, he is rarely one to indulge in personal pursuits that might be detrimental to their cause and he often decides on the best course of action in most of the team's numerous predicaments. Due to his headstrong temperament and unwavering resolve, Ken'ichi often clashes with the more cynical Ippei which often results in fierce fisticuffs but the two share no ill will and eventually get along better. Aside from his exceptional marksmanship and formidable barehanded fighting skills, Ken'ichi's is also quite adept with the use of swords (he can surprisingly hold his own against Heinel who is an accomplished swordsman). His uniform was red. Voiced by Yukinaga Shiraishi in the original version of Voltes V. He pilots the Volt Cruiser (Head).
