Goemon (ゴエモン Goemon?) is a video game character and the main protagonist of Konami's extensive Ganbare Goemon saga (known in the West as Mystical Ninja).

Goemon is a heroic bandit ninja whose actions are always motivated by a noble cause and his strong sense of justice. In his first appearances, he was a simple thief ninja who infiltrated castles and had to outwit the guards, but as the series evolved he became a warrior hero who fights against powerful villains with his friends to defend the ancient Edo and its inhabitants.

Goemon is very much like a Robin Hood figure of Feudal Japan; he primarily steals from the rich in order to give back to the poor and oppressed. Goemon is a very good hearted person with a strong sense of justice. He attacks with a tobacco pipe which he strikes upward above his head, making him very effective at hitting enemies that attack from above. If he obtains his Lucky Cat, he can also throw coins at enemies with deadly force. As a thief, he alone can open the "?" treasure chests which always have life-restoring big hearts inside of them.
