Biography[]
Origin[]
Formerly a scientist who assisted Elder Bago, a descendant of the ancient Inca civilization, he awakened to the ambition to conquer the world and joined his lower body, which became a remodeled human, and the heads of nine villains to the Jinmen-Iwa. Then, he transformed into a brutal Jyumenki, kill all the descendants of the ancient Inca Empire, get a GaGa Armlet, and aim for a pair of GiGi Armlet.
Amazon[]
Hovering over the Amazon rainforest in search of the GiGi Armlet, the Jyumenki rained incendiary blood over the Incan settlement, the villagers perished as the forest burned around them. However, Elder Bago, escaped and performed remodeling surgery on the Japanese-born Amazon, Daisuke Yamamoto, bestowing him with the GiGi Armlet before passing away. The Jyumenki confronted Amazon, who was running through the forest to get to Japan as instructed, however, Amazon escaped the flames of the Jyumenki and made it to Japan. Amazon was followed and attacked by Gedon's Spider Beastman, but he was defeated when Amazon used the Gigi Armlet to transform into Amazon Rider, fleeing back to Gedon's hide-out. Unforgiving of the Beastman's failure, the Jyumenki burned him alive. [Man or Beast? The Cool Guy Who Came From the Jungle!]
Golgos vowed to hunt down and kill Amazon, with the Vampire Bat Beastman being sent to defeat him. Failing to finish Amazon off, Golgos reprimanded the Beastman for his failure to uphold the Gedon law - I shall defeat the enemy at risk of my life. After a discussion amongst a number of the eight lesser faces, Vampire Bat Beastman was given another chance to take down Amazon. Unfortanutely for Gedon, the Vampire Bat Beastman was soon defeated once again in a rematch with Amazon. When the wounded Vampire Bat Beastman returned to the Gedon lair, the Jyumenki denied him mercy and condemned him to death, the Vampire Bat Beastman was promptly devoured by a pack of bats. [Jyumenki! God or Devil?]
After two failures, Golgos birthed the Mantis Beastman out of his boulder face, this Beastman setting out to attack humans to lure Amazon and defeat him so as to take the GiGi Armlet. Mantis Beastman indeed struck and drew out Amazon, resulting in a brief skirmish before Amazon escaped down a waterfall with Tobee Tachibana. Deducing Amazon to have survived the fall, the Jyumenki ordered Mantis Beastman and the Gedon Followers to search Amazon out and defeat him. Mantis Beastman was defeated by the enraged Amazon, however, who killed him personally. [The Strong, Naked, Fast Guy!]
After being forced to abandon his base, Golgos attacks Yurigo University and starts slaughtering people with his acidic foam until Amazon arrives and battles him until he is forced to fall back when one of his faces is killed. Falling into Hebitonbo's trap, Golgos loses his other faces before Amazon uses his Big Slice to rip of his right arm, causing Golgos to explode into pieces as he flies into the air. His severed arm, wearing the GaGa bracelet, was found and taken away by members of the Garander Empire. [The Jyumenki Dies! And a New Enemy?]
