Gorisaki Banana (ゴリサキ・バナナ Gorisaki Banana) is the gorilla-type mecha Buddy Roid partner of Ryuji Iwasaki. He is modeled after a more humanoid Gorilla and has a driver's wheel on his face.
Gorisaki is a faint-hearted character who falls easy, and apologizes immediately for it. Also, he is always worried about Ryuji, as the reason soon becomes clear. In the base, Gorisaki acts as a mechanic. He can combine with Buster Vehicle GT-02.

Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters[]
The Buddyroids lent the Go-Busters their power once again when they returned to save the world during the emergence of Space War God Voldos. Together they transformed into Powered Custom twice, first to protect the Kyoryugers from a possessed AbaRed before being forced back by TyrannoRanger, and again when facing the Deboth Knights. They were knocked out of their Powered Custom by the Knights' combined Deboth Finish, forcing the Go-Busters to fight back without their power.

Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters[]
In an alternate reality where the Messiah incident never occured, created by a wish to God by Nick and J, Gorisaki and Usada were simple 'Laboroids' with factory AIs working on a farm. When the world was invaded by the Machine Empire Mechalius, Kuroki inserted Animal Discs into Gorisaki and Usada to install their personalities so they along with Nick could support the Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters as 'Supportroids'. Gorisaki became the Supportroid of Ryuji (Blue Gorilla) as in the original world. MOVIE STORY-Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters Returns vs. Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters

As Blue Buster uses the GB Custom Visor, Gorisaki Banana's data transfers and projects onto Blue Buster's suit to form a powerful armor based on the "protector" prototypes. Gorisaki and Blue Buster, to a degree are combined and can create stone constructs from data manifested on-grounds. Blue Buster/Gorisaki gain the attack "Gorilarge Punch" which allows Blue Buster to manifest an oversized Gorisaki fist for a supercharged punch.

The Gorisaki Banana Key (ゴリサキ・バナナキー Gorisaki Banana Kī) is Gorisaki Banana's Buddy Roid Key. The five Buddy Roid Keys were transformed from the gathered Phantom Ranger Keys held by the Gokaigers, with the Gorisaki Banana Key having transformed from the Blue Phantom Key. When used in GokaiOh, they granted access to the Greater Power of the Go-Busters which allowed the mecha of both the Go-Busters and GokaiOh to use Megazord Keys to transform into past Sentai Robos. MOVIE STORY-Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters vs. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger: The Movie
- It is unknown if the Buddy Roid Keys can be used by the Gokaigers to change into Buddy Roids, nor is it known what happened to them after their use.

Gorisaki Banana is voiced by Tessyo Genda (玄田 哲章 Genda Tesshō) who previously voiced Golden Jaguar
in Kamen Rider (Skyrider) and Nue in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. Ultimately, Genda also voiced Pierrot
in Go-Busters' Pretty Cure counterpart in Sunday Morning Kids Time. He would later go on to voice Leonidas Crisper in Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations. His Auto Program voice is provided by Kanako Serano (瀬乃 加奈子 Serano Kanako). His suit actor is Jiro Okamoto (岡元 次郎 Okamoto Jirō), whose previous role was Gosei Knight in Tensou Sentai Goseiger. He also played Starbeast Gingarilla, another gorilla robot that was linked to a Blue Ranger in Seiju Sentai Gingaman.
Etymology[]
- Like the other main Buddyroids, Gorisaki's name is a combination of his animal motif, a food item pertaining to said animal motif, and the surname of his human partner Ryuji:
- Gorisaki given name is a portmanteau of "Gorilla" and "Iwasaki".
- Gorisaki's surname is just the word "banana," as gorillas stereotypically dine on banana fruits. While this can be true for gorillas in captivity, wild gorillas prefer to eat the banana plant's leaves and stems.
