'''Kal Kolter'''<ref group=Notes name="dubname">The English spelling of his first name is unofficial.</ref>, known as '''Shoichi Kusanagi''' ({{ruby|草|くさ}}{{ruby|薙|なぎ}} {{ruby|翔|しょう}}{{ruby|一|いち}}, ''Kusanagi Shōichi'') in the Japanese version, is a character appearing in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' anime. Operating out of a food truck called [[Café Nom]], which doubles as his and Yusaku's base of operations, Kolter is an ally of [[Yusaku Fujiki]] in his fight against the [[Knights of Hanoi]], with integral knowledge of the [[LINK VRAINS]]. In both versions, Kolter is usually known by his surname.
==Design==
Kolter is a rather friendly individual. He's shown to be sympathetic towards Yusaku and hopes he can one day enjoy Dueling again. He also regrets dragging him into the fight against the Knights of Hanoi.
Behind his friendly easy-going nature, Kolter harbors an intense anger and hatred towards the [[Hanoi Project]] just like Yusaku, though he doesn't actively show it unless triggered enough, like when he listened to [[Akira Zaizen]] talk about the possibility of Skye being kidnapped. Kolter angrily said stated that Akira doesnZaizen didn't truly know what the horrible trauma he felt was like.
===Abilities===
Kolter watched as Playmaker continued on to the Tower of Hanoi, and noticed Blue Angel Dueling Spectre, who defeated Kitamura earlier. He measured five hours and thirty minutes before the Tower of Hanoi was complete.<ref name="ep33">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|33|ref}}</ref>

* Sam Black's announcement that he was voicing Kolter in the English dub referred to the character as "Koulter". Black later corrected the spelling.
