Gori is the Marketing Director and a support character of the Netflix Original series Aggretsuko. Her appearance is based on a Western Lowland Gorilla. Gori is always seen alongside Washimi at work and with both Washimi and Retsuko outside of work. Gori first comes off as very ladylike and confident, but was very shy when it came to making friends with Retsuko having to tap out with Washimi to finish introducing themselves. Once she and Retsuko became friends, Gori showed a much more excitable and emotional side to her personality. Gori tries really hard to make a good impression on men and to make relationships work, but her job often gets in the way leading to some serious heartbreak.
Aggretsuko
Some offices have stereotypical dynamics: the chauvinistic pig of a boss who never does any real work; the employees whose goal is to suck up to the boss; the ones whose lives seem perfect; and the individuals who have all the actual work pushed onto them. Retsuko the red panda is in the last group, as she stays late most nights to make up the work her coworkers are too lazy to do themselves. Her relief from the stress of her everyday life comes in the form of singing death metal at a local karaoke club. Night after night, Retsuko channels her grief into a microphone and considers the place to be her own personal sanctuary. But as she moves further away from her comfort zone and the ideas people have of her, she discovers that letting others into her world of death metal may not be such a bad thing.
