Ogura is the main antagonist of the first three games of The Legendary Starfy series alongside Evil in Densetsu no Starfy 3. He serves under Evil, who Ogura calls his "personage". Evil first told Ogura about Pufftop a long time ago when he was young and asked him to conquer Pufftop.

In the seventh chapter of the second volume of the Densetsu no Starfy manga illustrated by Yumiko Sudō. — "Big Panic, the Jar is Broken Fii!", he disguises as an old man called Shuuri-jiisan.

History

Background

According to a flashback in Densetsu no Starfy 3 shown when Ogura is travelling through Misty Town towards Crushed Ice Alpine, he fought with a young Papa Star who defeated Ogura with the help of Old Man Lobber and presumably imprisoned him in the Jar. The fog in Misty Town reminds him of the battle at the time.

Densetsu no Starfy

While carrying the jar, a crown and treasure in Pufftop, Papa Star's son Starfy accidentally released Ogura from his imprisonment in the mysterious jar. Just then, Ogura (whose name was still unknown to Starfy at this time) used his magical powers to create a terrible storm. Tornadoes then struck the Pufftop Palace. Starfy struggled to hang on, and eventually dropped into the ocean showing his Done For pose. Starfy fell straight into Lobber's Cave, located on a small island. Later in the story, Ogura banished the young prince into the Deep Sea.

Later, in Undersea Temple, Old Man Lobber asks Starfy if he can locate a legendary book called the Yogensho for him, which according to legend is said to be found in the temple. The first two times Starfy attempts to obtain the book, it disappears and he is blown away by the demonic eel. After Starfy defeats Doppel, Ogura leaves behind the jar and the Yogensho. In Sea of Sky, when Old Man Lobber begins to read the Yogensho it reveals Ogura's name. It prophesied correctly that a large storm would hit the sea and that a hero would have to defeat Ogura's minions one after the other.

After the final battle with Ogura, Starfy makes up for his mistake by imprisoning Ogura in the jar once again, although he accidentally trips and knocks 45 treasure chests into the ocean. When Moe chases him, Starfy knocks over the jar and releases Ogura once again. If Starfy imprisons Ogura without obtaining all the treasure, he will continue to make the mistake of knocking the jar into the ocean again until all 45 treasure chests have been obtained.

Densetsu no Starfy 2

In Densetsu no Starfy 2, Ogura created 10 children who, with their father's power, were able to escape the jar. Ogura then captured Mama Star and brought her to his lair. After defeating his children, Starfy would then defeat Ogura once again.

Densetsu no Starfy 3

In Densetsu no Starfy 3, Evil permanently destroyed the jar, leaving Ogura with no prison. Ogura would then return to Evil in a hurry, trying not to be late.

While flying past Misty Town, Ogura remembers losing to Papa Star. When Ogura arrives in Crushed Ice Alpine, he is hiding because Evil; whose name is first revealed at this time is angry, just like when Ogura lost to Papa Star. In a flashback, Evil says he'll give Ogura "one last chance" (presumably at conquering Pufftop).

Later, while flying past the Jungle, Ogura found several pots belonging to Burako and broke some of them because they reminded him of living in the dark Jar which Ogura hated. When Ogura made it to Flamer Volcano, he blew away the Chibi-Sansho who were throwing rocks at him and reminded him of his deceased children — the Puchi Ogura.

In Gabun Ocean Trench, Taiblond reveals photographs that show Ogura headed through Old Castle, passing Undersea Ruins and Sea of Sky on the way. When Ogura arrives at Old Castle, Evil tells him off for being late. Ogura apologizes to Evil but Evil states that the conquest of Pufftop has failed entirely. He again gives Evil one last chance. Evil gives Ogura a "power up", and alters Ogura's appearance to make him stronger.

When Starfy, Starly and Moe reach Old Castle, they do not get to confront Evil and discover through the Pufftop Scholar that they require 42 Evil Crystals to truly defeat Evil. The Pufftop Scholar gives Starfy and others one of them, while all but one of the others is found at the end of past levels. Short of one Evil Crystal, in the final battle with Evil things look bad for Starfy, Starly and Moe until Ogura appears to spare the last Evil Crystal which Ogura appears to use as a source of power. Ogura dies to the grief of Starfy, Starly and Moe — it is revealed that he had sacrificed his life to save Starfy, Starly and Moe and defeat Evil.
