Bankotsubo

Gohyakumine Bankotsu-bo (洪明甫, Gohyakumine bankotsu Kōmeiho) is the final boss character of Dead or Alive 2. Since his appearance, Gohyakumine Bankotsu-bo has been appearing as a secret character in other DOA games, such as Dead or Alive 4 and Dead or Alive Ultimate.

History
The Tengu is a mythological creature from Japanese folklore. In DOA2 he wanted chaos to reign over the world, but was stopped by Hayabusa. His name was stated as "Gohyakumine Bankotsu-bo", but he is more commonly known as simply "Tengu."

Dead or Alive 2
'Bankotsu' (or Gohyakumine Bankotsu-bo) is a tengu who is a criminal in his own dimension, as he murdered Kuramasan Maouson - the leader of their race. Fearing punishment for his crimes and breaking Tengu rules, he escaped into the human world. Considering the hopes and struggles of humanity to be insignificant, he decided to bring about ultimate disaster and calamity, covering the world in chaos. Ryu Hayabusa found out about his doings, and in the final match of the second DOA tournament, kills Tengu despite the monster's incredible power and became the tournament winner.

Personality
Bankotsu is extremely arrogant, almost grievously so. He looks down on humans, as well as his own kind with contempt and thinks them fragile and trivial. Tengu is also fond of chaos and destruction, and is manipulative to a fault. He tricked his fellow tengu into allowing him close enough to murder their leader, as well as having a hold of sorts in connection with Ein's missing memories. Ironically, because of his superiority complex, Tengu's defeat was quick and unceremonious.
