The King of all Cosmos is the father of the player-character “the Prince” and the one who has tasked the player with rolling around the katamari to collect objects and rebuild the cosmos. Although the character is not officially homosexual, he is a decidedly campy and flamboyant character (which can be seen in the video here). This has earned him spots on lists of LGBT video game characters (see here, here, and here)
