Goburou is a male goblin from the hunting party that captured Minato. He demonstrates knowledge about cooking humans, explaining that fat humans produce too much scum when boiled, while a skinny human like Minato will be just right. He asserts his wisdom about human preparation and gives orders to the other goblins, suggesting he holds a minor leadership role. When the party reaches the cave, he is part of the group that reports to the goblin chief. He is not directly killed by Minato; he presumably flees with the others after she defeats the chief. His dialogue serves to illustrate the goblins' intelligence and their habituation to eating human flesh, adding to the barbarity of the world.
