About

Michael, the tall Goth, is in the fifth grade, is likely half-Asian, and often the group's leader. His mother is of East Asian descent, and his father is an older man with a large nose and curly hair like him.

He has stated "love didn't work" for them, which could mean they have a difficult relationship or that his father may have remarried. He considers himself the 'least conformist' of them all and has attended anger management therapy in "T.M.I.". He is the lead vocalist in the Goth Kids' band.

The Goths debuted in Season 7's "Raisins". Up until Season 17's "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers", Michael was referred to only as "Tall Goth" and had not been given a name in the show or internal scripts.

  • "Oh no no nono no. I'll never be in your faggy talent show" (Erection Day)
  • "Fuck all of you." (The Ungroundable)
