Pamput (also known as Panpoot and Panputto) is a Muay Thai fighter and action star that faces Goku in the first round of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai. It starts, with Pamput making a flashy entry. He is a multiple-time world fighting champion, and is well-known. However, when he first punches at Goku, he asks if the punch was too fast for him to follow. Goku says it wasn't much of a punch, so Pamput demonstrates his great speed and power by destroying an arena wall with an elbow strike. But, when he attacks Goku again, the boy's quick three-hit combo to the chest completely knocks him out. The announcer goes ape over the "single-punch" KO, and Goku wins. He is later killed by Tambourine with a single kick to the face like he had done to Krillin and revived by the Dragon Balls. In the anime, his role is expanded, as he is shown to be a film star as well as a fighter.
Though most likely a coincidence, he resembles Mr. Shu minus the moustache, Gohan's tutor from the anime-only filler at the beginning of the Trunks Saga.
