Background
Von Kaiser hailed from Berlin, Germany. All that is known of his background is that he was formerly a boxing teacher at a military academy. He was a harsh disciplinarian. He first appeared in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, where he was rank #1 fighter in the World Video Boxing Association's Minor Circuit, and was defeated by Little Mac.
In Punch-Out!! Wii, Von Kaiser was ranked #2 in the Minor Circuit and fell again to Little Mac. In the accompanying slideshow, he appeared to have been traumatized when a group of children beat him upon during a class. Apparently due to this trauma, there is a point where he will randomly call out for his mommy, at which point he can be struck to earn a star point. Enraged by his defeat, Von Kaiser shaves his head into a miliary buzzcut, then returns as the second opponent in Title Defense mode. He utilizes new charging attacks and faking out in this rematch.
Trivia
- In the NES game, he is a palette swap of Great Tiger.
- In the Wii game he speaks primarily in German, and he introduces himself as a "Kampfmachine" ("battle machine").
