    Personality[edit | edit source]

    He displays a great deal of overconfidence due to his newfound strength granted to him by Amiba, and also seems to rather unintelligent as well as immature, as when he got his arm broken by Ken, he began to bawl like a child and tried to get Habu to comfort him.

    Abilities[edit | edit source]

    He has severely enhanced physical strength thanks to being experimented on by Amiba, as he was able to effortlessly overpower a large, burly man who challenged him in a game of arm-wrestling. However, he was no match for Kenshiro, who was not only able to defeat him without effort, but also broke his arm without any visible effort.

    Manga & TV Series[edit | edit source]

    With his superior Habu, Gyuki went around challenging men to arm-wrestling competitions with the promise of a month's worth of food if they win. Gyuki arm-wrestles a man on a table saw and slices the man's arm off when they lose. Kenshiro then takes Gyūki's challenge and stuns everyone present by beating Gyuki and snapping the brute's arm in the process. Angered, Habu knocks Gyuki out with his pole. What happened to Gyuki afterwards is unknown.

    Other Appearances[edit | edit source]

    Gyuki appears with Habu as Amiba's henchmen in DD Hokuto no Ken.
    Hokuto no Ken for playstation features Gyuki. Like in the main series, Gyuki challenges to an arm wrestling match. If Kenshiro wins, Gyuki leaves due to his broken arm. However if Gyuki wins, he accompanies Habu in the boss fight. When battling with Habu, Gyuki cannot be defeated, meaning Kenshiro must focus his attacks on Habu.
