Appearance[edit | edit source]
He is a huge man with long curly hair that is balding at the top who has a pointy nose, a thin mustache, and a scar over one of his eyes.
He wears a pair of shoulderpads, a spiked collar, and a cuirass with three straps underneath a breastplate (which is absent in the anime). He also wears a pair of vambraces, a leopard print loincloth underneath his pants, and a pair of boots.
Personality[edit | edit source]
He has an obsessive fixation with dogs, and has an incredibly nasty temper because of this, as he will become enraged if his dogs are even intimidated, and harming or killing them will cause him to become extremely sadistic in response, as he tortured Mamiya by forcing an innocent man to throw spiked rings at her, and had his henchmen continue to torture her in the same way when the man missed on purpose and was killed for it.
Abilities[edit | edit source]
His weapons of choice are a pair of thorned rings that he swings around, and although he isn't seen using them properly, as Kenshiro snatches them and turns them against him before he was able to launch any attacks with them, he likely uses them as melee weapons, as well as like boomerangs given how his henchmen and Kenshiro used them.
He is also an expert at training dogs, as aside from having regular human grunts in his forces, he also has attack-dogs as his underlings.
Manga & TV Series[edit | edit source]
He values his own pet dogs more than human life, as proven when he tortured Mamiya after she killed one of his guard-dogs whilst trying retrieve medicine for the dying Rei. However, Kenshiro & Rei arrived on the scene to save Mamiya, and after Galf met his end at the hands of Kenshiro, even his beloved dog Seki abandoned him.
1986 movie[edit | edit source]
- Galf makes a cameo in the 1986 movie. He leads a rally for Ken-Oh's procession and crushes the skull of one villager with his bare hand for chanting out of sync. This scene was censored from most versions of the film due to its graphic nature and only restored on the Italian VHS copy.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
