Bank robber trying to hold Gatchan as a hostage
In his first appearance, the bank robber accidentally robs the Penguin Village Police Station instead of the Penguin Village Bank. Arale and Gatchan meet him who he tries to use them as hostages. He freaks out and runs away when he finds out that bullets do not hurt Arale and that Gatchan can eat his gun.
He appears again where he takes everyone into the Soramame Barber Shop as hostages. When he fires at the police, Kurikinton criticizes his bad aim and Kurikinton shoots Gyaosu right in the forehead blaming it on the bank robber.
