Garou (Garo) is the supervillain and main antagonist of the titular Human Monster Saga of One-Punch Man. Garou is a rogue martial artist who formerly was the top disciple of Bang, his former master and the 3rd S-Class Hero of the Heroes Association until he went on a rampage and was later expelled from the dojo due to his rampage. Garou is the self-proclaimed Hero Hunter and the Human Monster who despite him being a human, was able to be a Dragon-Level Threat to the Hero Association and even a major adversary towards the Monster Association. During his childhood, Garou was bullied by the popular students and he felt unfair and relatable towards the villains due to them being killed off and never given a chance which resulted in his fascination towards monsters and his vindictive hatred towards heroes; leading to his Hero Hunting. Garou desires to become the world's first God-Level Threat towards the Heroes Association in order for the world to unite against him so he could fulfill his goal of world peace. Later, Garou would be one of the strongest (if not the strongests) foe that Saitama, the titular One-Punch Man, would ever face in his life and would leave a huge aftermath and impact after his saga in the story of One-Punch Man. After the incident with the Monster Association, Garou is currently being rehabilitated with his master, Bang, and filling the hole to become a hero like his master. In the original webcomic, Garou abandoned his former goals and took a calmer and restrained mindset to where he became a delivery man for the moving company known as Beaver Movers.

The character was created by One as part of a webcomic involving an alternate style where he was more chaotic compared to his manga counterpart. For the manga serialization, Garou was illustrated by Yusuke Murata. The character has been voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa and Greg Chun and many differences happened to him compared to what happened to him in the webcomic series.

Concept Creation
Garou is an 18-year old teenager martial artist who has a lean muscular built physique with yellow white hair with sharp prongs, representing his wolf-like features, sharp yellow eyes, monstrous teeth and wears a formidable martial arts outfit and tai chi slippers. Through the series and through his fights, Garou wears a darker and black outfit compared to his usual outfit and he now has red-like hair due to him rubbing his blood on his hair. Soon later, Garou would grow a monstrous appearance and lose his humanity completely.

Appearances
Garou was introduced in the start of the Human Monster Saga to where he started his hero hunting against the Heroes Association to where he defeats tons of criminals in the meeting room along with three A-Class Heroes, leaving Sitch of the Heroes Association trembling in fear and viewing him as a grave threat to Z-City despite him being a human. Back in his past, Garou hated Garou hates those who are popular, as he believes the popular ones will always win in the end. This is because as a child, he had no friends and the popular children at school enjoyed abusing him both physically and verbally, particularly a boy named Tacchan. They forced him to play Heroes, where Tacchan (the name of Garou's bully) would beat up Garou and was forcing the child to be the monster.. Garou noticed how everyone liked Tacchan but hated him. After watching his life repeat over and over again on the basis of the Justice Man TV show, he grew a distaste of heroes in general and believed that in the end, the majority will always want him dead. Soon later, Garou would then start more of his hero hunting and his first S-Class Hero that he faced and managed to defeat was the 16th S-Class Hero, Tanktop Master.
