Gaowayan Pramuk[note 1] (ガオワイヤン・プラムック, Gaowaiyan Puramukku) is a Coliseum fighter in Yakuza and Yakuza Kiwami. He is a challenger from the Underground Ring of Purgatory, and former middleweight world champion of Muay Thai.

Biography[]

The former Muay Thai champion of the world.

He's won over many fans by using swift footwork and sharp blows to bring down larger, stronger enemies.

Because he still has the skills to compete as a pro athlete, his reasons for fighting in the underground arena are among the coliseum's greatest mysteries.

Fighting Style[]

Yakuza[]

As a practitioner of Muay Thai, Pramuk is a fast and rigid fighter, making use of swift punches, knee strikes and clinching. His attacks include the following:

  • a Rush Combo consisting of a left jab-right cross and a left high roundhouse kick,
  • a flying left knee strike, and
  • a front grab where he holds Kiryu's head and throws right knee strikes repeatedly, followed by a jumping right high knee strike.

If he grabs Kiryu from the front or behind near the cage, he can execute a Heat Action where he pushes Kiryu against the cage and a throws a jumping right knee strike.

Pramuk's moveset is reused by Yuji Shiraki, Big Akai, the Gang Busters leader, the Older Ali Brother, Dead Boy and Mr. Yo in same game and Koji in Yakuza 2.

Yakuza Kiwami[]

Pramuk uses the Yakuza 5 Muay Thai enemy moveset, mostly centered around varying types of kicks, without much of anything else. His attacks consist of:

  • Ivan Ibrahimovic's jab-cross-gut punch Rush Combo,
  • a combo comprising two of Andre Richardson's low roundhouse kicks,
  • a left push kick,
  • a right shin-kick,
  • his flying knee strike from Yakuza,
  • a high right Thai roundhouse kick, and
  • Naoki Katsuya's command grab as a front grab attack.

His rejuvenation state correlates to Kiryu's Beast style.

In Heat Mode, Pramuk can grab Kiryu and perform his Heat Action from the original Yakuza. He emits a neon purple aura, although he lacks attack trails.
