Gary

Biography

Gary — Gaou in Japan — is the White Tigers' powerhouse, a huge, slow-talking blader whose bear bit-beast Galzzly fights the way he does, head-on and with overwhelming force; he and Kevin are the two without one of the clan's feline spirits. He is gentle outside the dish, famously preoccupied with his next meal — he has lost battles to the distraction — and quietly devoted to Mariah, whose lead he follows. He is dangerous the moment he is provoked, and turning anger into power is his one specialty. His Asian final against Max is brute force against pure defence, and it sets the tone for the rest of the series. Black Dranzer takes Galzzly off him in Russia along with the rest of the team's, and Tyson's win in the final gets it back; he returns in a supporting role for G-Revolution's BEGA arc.

The muscle of the White Tigers, blading Galzzly and taking his orders mostly from Mariah. He and Kevin are the two without a cat for a bit-beast; his is a bear. He loves food enough to have thrown a battle or two over it, and for all his size he keeps to himself. His one specialty is turning anger into power.

His Japanese name, Gao, is an animal sound like Mariah's and Kevin's — a bear's growl. The same syllable can carry the sense of tall, which suits him.

• Max Tate Their Asian Tournament final is a straightforward clash of styles, Gary's brute force against Max's stubborn defence, and though Gary wins narrowly, the fight sets the tone for how differently the two of them approach the sport.

• Ray Kon He doesn't carry Lee's grudge against Ray for leaving the village, and once Ray returns to lead White Tiger X, Gary falls back into the team without any of the friction that colors Lee's side of it.
