The titular character of Space Adventure Cobra. A famous space pirate that erased his own memories and got plastic surgery to change his face in an effort to put his dangerous life behind him. He suddenly begins to regain his memories, however, and begins his adventures anew.
Best-known for his distinctive arm cannon, the "Psychogun". It channels Cobra's mental energies into a laser beam that can be controlled freely. He has a prosthetic forearm to cover the cannon when not in use.
