Concept and Appearances
Von Kaiser is a German boxer, hailing from Berlin, Germany. He first appeared in Punch-Out!! for the NES, and again in the Wii video game of the same name. While he speaks in English in the NES game, he speaks in German (without subtitles) in the Wii version. Von Kaiser's musical theme is based on "Ride of the Valkyries".
He has brown hair and mustache, and wears military-style pants and combat boots. His militant personality, as demonstrated by one of his mid-bout line "Surrender! Or I will conquer you!", is depicted as a facade hiding his true nature of cowardice, as he cries for his mother upon sustaining physical harm. However, upon adopting a military haircut, he toughens up for his second encounter with Little Mac.

“The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.”
