Panpeus

Panpeus (パンパス), called Panpas in the Japanese version, is the first opponent U-1 faces in Gitaroo-Man. He appears right after the training stage and levitates into U-1's room. Panpeus likes to cause mischief and possesses the ability to distort reality according to his will. His axe is considered to be strong and resilient, but it takes considerable skill to wield it.

He is voiced by Lisle Wilkerson in the English version and by Noriko Yoshitake in the Japanese version.

Battle
Panpeus's stage exhibits a high degree of predictability and a deliberate pace, making it a good choice for novices. However, caution is advised during the evasion phases due to the damage he can inflict. In Master's Play, his stage is significantly more difficult as the Phase Bars are more broken and Panpeus's attacks become frequent.

Panpeus's Gitaroo sounds like a guitar type, but he plays it by swinging it like a normal weapon. Upon being defeated, he promises not to cause anymore trouble.

Music

 * Used in stage 1.
 * A standard rock with U-1's Gitaroo sounding like a typical guitar. A man yells taunts and other jeers in English.
