APPEARANCE:

Gun is a very tall and lean-yet-muscular young man who is always dressed well, usually donning colors of dark fashion and designer brands. His hair is shaved on the sides but long on top, and has always been seen with it slicked back. He is usually seen wearing full-rimmed glasses to hide the scar stretching between his eyes. Gun's facial appearance changes drastically when he takes off his glasses. He has many scars across his body, and tattoos on his arms. On his chest is a long, horizontal scar given by Eli Jang.He also has a scar given by Jerry Kwon. Gun's most distinguishing trait is his pitch black eyes with white irises, a result of him being constantly in the state of Ultra Instinct

PERSONALITY:

Gun is usually seen as a highly composed individual who is quite dedicated to his job as a bodyguard. He maintains a stern-looking expression on his face that exhibits a smile only when amused, usually by someone's fighting potential. This was most likely picked up from Tom Lee, who raised/trained him throughout his childhood, like his partner and rival Goo Kim, he is merciless when agitated and fighting—as seen during his fight with Jake. Gun stated he would knock out all of Jake's teeth, which he indeed ending up doing without much trouble. Unlike Goo Kim, Gun will remove his glasses when he's about to exhibit his demonic side, causing many to refer to him as a 'Monster'. Gun is stated to be a "pervert" with whom gender is of no concern for his attraction by Goo. The nebulous nature of Goo's statement could refer to literal sexual attraction or a more idiosyncratic "attraction" to strong fighters. When adrenaline pumps through Gun's blood, he becomes stronger than ever. It makes him unable to feel pain- allowing him to use a completely broken arm as if it were never destroyed in the first place. While fighting Johan Seong who regained his vision, he was able to tank all blows inspite of getting injured from previous fights from the crew heads.

EDUCATIONAL ABILITY:

Gun is both an exceptional fighter and a top-tier coach, earning him the title of "Nurture Genius". He is able to turn talentless fighters such as Olly Wang and Eli Jang into monstrous fighters in a short period of time, showcasing his educational ability. He also trained Daniel Park for one month, allowing him to completely overwhelm the Workers and prevent the destruction of Big Deal street.

TRIVIA:

•He is often seen saying "Ganbare"(がんばれ), a Japanese phrase that translates to "good luck". This phrase has been repeated by multiple other characters in the story who have come into contact with him. •He rips his shirt off whenever he gets serious during a fight. •Gun has a strict level of morality/rules to himself and his successor such as not being involved in any illegal activities. (PREVIOUS CANDIDATES: Johan, Jake, Olly, Samuel and Eli. POTENTIAL CANDIATES/SUCCESORS: Daniel Park.) •So far, Gun has not been defeated by any of his challengers. He claimed that he let Eli go on purpose making their fight's result remain unclear. The ones who pose the highest threats include the other fighting legend, Goo Kim, Jake Kim, Daniel (in an unconscious state), DG/James Lee, Gapryong Kim, Elite/Charles Choi, Jinyoung Park, Baekho Kwon, Jake Kim's Older Half brother (King of Seoul), Jichang Kwak (stated by Daniel to be on par in terms of brute force and Elite/Charles Choi even considered Jichang worthy of replacing either Goo or Gun) and Tom Lee. •He appears to have a history in Japan and is recognized by the Yakuza as "White Ghost". •Gun is implied to be Pansexual. (Goo has stated that Gun is a "pervert" who doesn't concern himself with the gender of the person he is attracted to or "hooked" on. Gun rewards Daniel with a clue to taking down the Workers after Daniel "pleases him with his body" (Daniel fought Gun).) •He has poor handwriting. •Gun is half Japanese and half Korean. Gan's father is the Oyabun (patriarch) of the Yamazaki clan, making him pure Japanese. That is, Gan's mother is actually Korean. •Gan has a hobby - wood carving in his house, which is a junkyard. •Gan is a heavy smoker, but has not done so in front of women or Gu until now. •Gan's father was indeed the Great Power that the Kulak gang fought against, and even admitted that the red paper was proof of his betrayal and his joining the Yamazaki clan.

FIGHTING PROWESS:

Gan was shown to be one of the strongest from the very beginning. He has mastered various martial arts and skillfully combines them all into his total fighting style. His most commonly used attacks come from Yamazaki's Kyokushin Karate style (a collection of Kyokushin Karate arts from all over Japan). He prefers to fight without weapons (although he is adept at using weapons such as Tonfa and Stun Batons), and strikes head-on rather than dodging them. His power is "impossible to grasp," and he is a Genius who will never stop getting stronger. This is due to the fact that he is always conscious in a state of Ultra Instinct, which allows him to enhance his senses and physical capabilities to the maximum every second, making him stronger than ever after each successful fight. He was able to withstand the constant onslaught of attacks from Jerry Kwon, Warren Chae, Zach Lee and Vasco — all in their strongest form, and then knock them all out almost effortlessly, without receiving almost any damage. He defeats the entire 2nd generation with his power, as none of them were able to inflict serious damage on Gan. That was until the 2nd generation became stronger. His mere presence can paralyze most Workers in fear. He then single-handedly defeats Mandok Bang, Yuson, Ryuhei and Kenta Magami without taking any damage. Later, he fought thousands of Workers and Kagiroi without damage, and later with Four Major Crews and their strongest fighters such as Jake Kim, Eli Jang, Johan Seong and Mandeok Bang. Despite a broken arm, deep wounds on his torso, a sagging chest, one eye that had become functionally useless, and smashed into a crater on the ground, he was still able to crush them all.

When adrenaline pumps Gan's blood, he gets stronger than ever. It makes him unable to feel pain, allowing him to use a completely broken arm as if it had never been destroyed in the first place. During the battle with Johan Song, who regained his eyesight, he was able to withstand all the blows, despite injuries sustained in previous battles from the heads of the crew. And fighting Gu Kim, even being pushed back and being on the defensive, he was still able to fight the Gun Genius until Charles Choi's safety was threatened by James Lee, at which point his attention dissipates and Gu inflicts a deep cut on his neck that could have felled any other person. Which is another testament to his clearly superhuman stamina and will to fight. Eventually, due to the loss of consciousness, Gan's body enters an unbridled state of "Ultra-Instinct", which is implied by both Gu's and James Lee's statements, which is actually his true blood nature. In this form, Gan's skill reaches such a level that he directly outplays and defeats even a fighter of Gu's caliber, knocking him out, even when the latter has already unleashed all his own strength using the "Two Sword Stance" and has become more serious than ever in combat. Gan being a "Parenting Genius" also means that he views martial arts and fighting in general as an academic subject. Consequently, he is also privy to their tactics, strategies, and weaknesses, especially of his students.

He's actually so knowledgeable and intuitive about everything about combat that even being in the weakest and most physically disfigured state he's ever been in, and simultaneously overwhelmed by the pain of all the injuries he sustained throughout the arc, he still tactfully defeats Daniel Park's Second Body, in while the latter is in Ultra Instinct himself, capitalizing on the latter's tendency to match opponents and eventually beating him to a standstill, the first person in the series to achieve such a colossal feat, even though this last effort squeezed everything out of him and left him on the brink of death. All this really secures him the status of one of the most powerful and advanced hand-to-hand combat units that have ever existed, and he will remain so in the distant future.
