Plot[]
Hosuke first appears in the series as a pretty much useless and a bit troublesome owl who really likes Makoto. But he later gives a bit of advice to Sho and company. In the X-Zone arc, Hosuke recalls certain pieces of knowledge, but doesn't know where it came from. In the end, it turns out the Hosuke was actually Takeshi Yamato's friend and Yuki's grandfather who later took over Takeshi's role as King of the X-Zone.
