James (also known as Kojirō) is a recurring villain from the Pokémon anime.
Bio[edit | edit source]
As one third of the unholy trinity of Team Rocket (alongside Jessie and Meowth), James acts as the vaguely homoerotic bottom to Jessie's top as they keep trying to to pry a yellow rodent from the arms of a perpetual twelve-year-old. While their kidnapping plans often are highly elaborate (and/or defy all forms of common sense), they invariably end up blasting off into the stratosphere.
James himself had a modest upbringing as a heir of millionaires, but ran away from home after his parents tried to force him into marrying a girl that solely existed to boss him around. Deprived of his vast family fortune, he briefly joined a biker gang (well, bicycle gang) before he entered Team Rocket, and now has Jessie to boss him around instead. In his defense, there arguably are worse kinks.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
James, alongside with Jessie, first appeared as a manager to Meowth in 8chanmania LXXXII. Amusingly, they only joined the mania for its prize money after 'Operation Get-Meowth-A-Gigantamax-Crystal-So-That-He-Can-Become-Longcat' failed to find the appropriate funding from their boss. Even more amusingly, Jessie and James intentionally put their bets on Meowth getting floored by Wario, and left the mania with just enough money to pay the resulting vet bills.
A couple of weeks later, during 8chanmania XCVI, James acted as Jessie's manager. Their shared plan to claim the prize money shattered against the stiff resistance put of by Clyde of the Pac-Man Girls.
