Bouya Haru — The Golden LionFirst Generation King of Ulsan
In the era when the First Generation Kings ruled their cities with bloodied fists and unbreakable pride, there was one city that never fell.
That city was Ulsan.
And the reason was a man known as—
Bouya Haru.The Golden Lion.
Origins
Bouya Haru was one of the direct disciples of Gapryong Kim, trained not just in fighting, but in belief—the kind of belief that bends reality around a punch. Unlike the others, Haru never sought a gang, territory expansion, or influence beyond his city.
He was a lone wolf.
He fought alone.He ruled alone.He laughed alone.
Tall even among monsters, standing at 6'7", with wild blond hair and a grin that never seemed to take anything seriously, Bouya Haru was infamous for joking in the middle of fights—cracking dumb comments, acting careless, sometimes even pretending to trip—
Right before obliterating his opponent.
Masteries
Bouya Haru possessed three perfected masteries, each honed to First Generation extremes:
Endurance Mastery – His body simply refused to break. Bones fractured, organs strained, blood poured—but he kept moving, laughing through the pain.
Power Mastery – Every strike carried crushing weight. His blows didn't just hurt—they ended fights.
Conviction Mastery – Once Bouya Haru decided something, the world itself seemed to agree. His will turned stalemates into victories and defeats into endurance wars.
But what truly made him terrifying…
The Path of the Golden Lion
Bouya Haru walked a unique Path.
A Path that allowed him to see ten seconds into the future.
Not constantly—only when his conviction sharpened and his instincts aligned. In battle, this made him appear untouchable, as if he were always one step ahead, already smiling at blows that hadn't been thrown yet.
Opponents swore it felt like fighting someone who'd already survived the match.
The Fall of the Kings
When James Lee, Charles Choi, Gun, and Goo began erasing the First Generation Kings, city after city collapsed.
Seoul fell.Busan fell.Incheon fell.
But Ulsan stood.
James Lee himself entered Ulsan—confident, unstoppable.
And for the first time in his life…
James Lee lost.
Bouya Haru defeated him in a brutal, unpredictable fight—laughing, joking, dodging blows ten seconds ahead of time, enduring punishment that would've killed anyone else. James Lee left Ulsan wounded—not just physically, but mentally.
That loss would haunt him.
The Ten-Day War
After James Lee's retreat, Kitae came to Ulsan to finish what others couldn't.
What followed became legend.
Bouya Haru vs. Kitae.No spectators.No breaks.No surrender.
They fought for ten straight days.
Buildings collapsed.Streets cracked.Fighters across Korea felt it like a storm.
Neither man fell.
On the tenth day, both stood—bloodied, exhausted, smiling.
The fight ended in a stalemate.
Ulsan remained unconquered.
Legacy
Bouya Haru never chased power beyond his city.He never joined factions.He never explained himself.
To some, he's a myth.To others, a joke of a man who laughs too much.
But among the strongest fighters in Korea, there's a simple rule:
If Ulsan still stands, it's because the Golden Lion is still smiling.
