Before the start of the game, Gotou comes into contact with the [[Terminal]] systems and through its connection to the [[Expanse]] he begins to summon demons en masse in order to combat the Americans occupying [[Tokyo]] and restore the old gods to their former glory. He uses the demons to erect a barrier around Tokyo, and starts a successful coup d'état to take control of the [[JSDF]], after which he imposes a state of martial law on the city. He also orders the JSDF, along with his subordinate [[Yuriko]], to capture and detain any female that shares the name of the [[Heroine|leader]] of the [[Resistance]], as they are getting in the way of his efforts in fighting the American troops and the only information they have of her is her name. When the [[The Hero|protagonist]] finally confronts him in [[Camp Ichigaya (Shin Megami Tensei)|Camp Ichigaya]], he reveals the secret conspiracy he is trying to prevent: The Tokyo Annihilation Project. It is a plan by the [[YHVH|God of Law]] to use the Americans' nuclear weapons to eradicate japan, all with the ultimate goal of creating the [[Millenium Kingdom]], a world of peace that only the few chosen by God will be allowed to live in.
Gotou pleads with the protagonist to join him in his mission and requests he confront the American Ambassador [[Thorman]] at the [[Embassy]] in order stop any nuclear warheads from being launched at the city. Should his pleas be refused, Gotou will engage him in battle, only to perish. If the request is accepted however, Gotou offers his sincere gratitude and sends the protagonist on his way, though his fate will remain the same, as his fears become a reality when the protagonist fails to stop [[Great Cataclysm|ICBMs from launching at Tokyo]], dying as a result of the impact.
After Gotou's death, Ozawa takes over Gotou's territory in [[Shinjuku (Shin Megami Tensei)|Shinjuku]] by defeating the local yakuza.
