Gaucho

Gaucho (ガウチョ) is a minor character in Steel Ball Run and a competitor in the race.

Steel Ball Run
During the fourth stage of the race, Gaucho is among those who become trapped in the orchard surrounding Ringo Roadagain's cabin. He repeatedly asks Ringo how to get out of the orchard, only to be told the same thing each time: the only way out is to kill Ringo. Eventually, running into the equally trapped Gyro, Johnny and Hot Pants, he is overcome by frustration and calls Ringo out in order to kill him. Though Gaucho's shot hits Ringo's shoulder, Ringo's hits Gaucho in the chest. Ultimately, Ringo shoots him a second time, finishing him off, and can later be seen burying the body outside the cabin.

Race Stats
Gaucho never completes the fourth stage of the race, ending with a total of 17 points.
