Along with that, he wears a pair of white gloves and a white web belt with a gold waist-plate. He wears the uniform trousers and black boots which go over the trouser's leggings. He usually wears the black cape which has light green details on the collar and shoulder epaulettes.

Personality
He has a rebellious personality but is otherwise good-natured. He likes to joke around.

History
The Goshis' were one of the subordinate houses serving the Hīragis. Despite that, Norito was someone who was unmotivated to work hard. This stemmed from the fact that his younger brother was much more talented and hailed as the next head of the Goshis, which created an inferiority complex in Norito. Alongside Mito, Norito was saved by Guren on multiple occasions and was also assigned to Guren's squad by Kureto in several missions. He too accepted the Kiju (Demon-Curse) to save Guren.

Second Shibuya High School Arc
Colonel Norito Goshi first appeared at the end of Chapter 2 and Episode 2 when Guren rescues Yūichirō Hyakuya from a vampire.

Shinjuku Arc
When the vampires attack Shinjuku in chapter 11, Colonel Norito Goshi joins the rest of Lieutenant Colonel Guren Ichinose's squad. When Guren fights against Mikaela Hyakuya, Goshi and Shigure work together against him to allow Guren to attempt a strike for Mikaela from behind. At the end of the battle, Goshi can be seen talking with Colonel Mito Jujo.

Nagoya Arc
In chapter 24, Goshi hangs out with his squad in the Ebina Rest Stop. He finds a dirty magazine and tries to talk the three girls in squad into trying on a bikini. When Mito arrives, he tells her that Guren wanted to see her in a bikini, causing her to get flustered. When Guren makes a short speech afterward, Goshi and Shinya make fun of him for doing it on a sports car. Guren beats him.

When Yūichirō Hyakuya arrives for a punishment later, Shinya and Goshi team up to tease Guren about his feelings for them. Once again, only Goshi gets beat up--although he requests a headlock from Sayuri, she sends him flying across the room instead. Shortly after, Goshi uses his Cursed Gear to make a smoke illusion of a naked, crying Yūichirō with four slaps on his lab. He makes the illusion beg for his mama and causes the rest of Sergeant Shinoa Hiragi's squad to come running.

During their battle to kill nobles in Nagoya, Goshi works with the rest of Guren's squad to kill Nineteenth Progenitor Mel Stefano. A soldier named Kusunoki makes it to Guren, informing him that ten soldiers were killed and twenty held hostage. He dies, and Guren orders them to reinforce Shinoa and Narumi's squads before going after Thirteenth Progenitor Crowley Eusford in Nagoya City Hall.

The Moon Demon Company regroups, and Sergeant Aiko Aihara arrives with only seven survivors from her squads. Guren Squad, Shinoa Squad, and Narumi Squad leave to hunt Thirteenth Progenitor Crowley Eusford, Seventeenth Progenitor Chess Belle, and Seventeenth Progenitor Horn Skuld while Aiko waits for other survivors to pass them the order to reconvene at Nagoya Airport.

Once they reach Nagoya City Hall, Guren looks at the hostages being used through a telescope and knows that they are being used as bait to lure them. Yu insists on bursting in and saving them. Narumi dismisses it as too dangerous and when Yu asks him what they should do, Narumi asks Guren what they should do. Guren suggests that they snipe them from their position and see if they can lure them out but says that if there are too many of them, they are to abandon the hostages and run. Yu shouts that they can't do that.

Shinoa interrupts Yu and asks Guren what their priorities are. In order, he says that their top priority is to maintain their numbers, letting no one die. Their second priority is to free the hostages and lastly, getting the hostages out alive. Narumi states that this is because they are needed for another mission after this. Guren then says that they need to keep the vampires occupied in Aichi Prefecture for as long as they can so they can buy enough time for the main forces in Shibuya to get prepared.

After Crowley catches Gekkōin, Guren and his squad discuss what to do while Crowley, Horn Skuld, and the Seventeenth Progenitor Chess Belle wait patiently for them. After careful planning, Guren decides that his squad will take his squad to attack Crowley while Shinoa and Narumi Squads free the hostages. He gives them five minutes to rescue as many hostages as they can and act as a proper diversion for the main force in Shinjuku. As soon as the five minutes are up everyone has orders to retreat to the Nagoya Airport immediately.

Guren and Shinya attack Crowley at the same time but he easily negates their attacks at close range. He then swings Guren into Shinya, throwing them into the wall behind them. Crowley, Chess, and Horn then step toward them. Mito notices this and moves to assist them but Goshi holds her back and tells her, she would only get in the way.

In chapter 33, Guren orders Goshi to take action. Guren's squad breaks in through the windows, and he orders them to save everyone and escape. Goshi makes an illusion of flames and magma, which startles Chess.

Outside, Shinya thanks Goshi creating the illusion that saved them.
