He is a Texan who had trained under the same master as the ex-sailor Galford D. Weller, Kaede, but quit early due to lack of interest. Thanks to some of this training, however, despite his enormous body -huge in both height and girth, Earthquake became deceptively fast and tricky. His ninjutsu combined with his size makes him a formidable warrior. He uses this to his advantage and becomes a bandit, somehow being the leader to his own bandit gang. Galford D.

When Amakusa Shiro Tokisada starts creating havoc, he decides to steal all the world's treasure.

One of Earthquake's earliest advantages over several fighters was the incredible reach of his kusarigama, reaching fighters from nearly the other side of the field without too much trouble. His main move was to spin rapidly and travel across the screen. His attacks are powerful but slow and his height makes him an easy target if he missed. His moves were also limited, making it sometimes difficult to catch quick characters. In Samurai Shodown II, he gained more ninjutsu techniques to better compensate for his weaknesses such as teleporting, fire breathing, and illusions. He also cannot be tossed into the air like other characters; if the throw command is used against him, an unique attack animation is substituted instead. If needed, he can also fight opponents with his farts and burps.

Earthquake also appears in Samurai Shodown VI, Samurai Shodown RPG (as an unplayable minor villian), and the crossover fighting game SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom.

When first introduced, he and Hanzo nearly mirrored each other in several aspects such as confusing foes with teleportation, illusions, and surprise piledriving. His main deviation from Hanzo is the addition of his dog, Poppy. With her, players can command her to maul, tackle, teleport above foes, or use illusions to copy Galford. In Samurai Shodown III, his Slash form integrates a heavier reliance on Poppy, creating a quick, hit-and-run style of fighting. His Bust form, however, relies on grappling and aggressive up-close combat. As the series progresses, Galford becomes faster but slightly less powerful than Hanzo. His lightening projectile, or "plasma" as it is dubbed by the creators, differentiates from Hanzo's fire as it only flies horizontally straight rather than traveling along the ground in a slinky-like motion.

At the age of fifteen, he challenged Yagyu Jubei to a duel but lost due to lack of experience.^[32] Jubei, amused by the youth's bravado, brought Haohmaru to Caffine Nicotine so that he may gain proper training. Whilst living there, he also met and befriended Genjuro, fellow student and another orphan like himself. One day, Nicotine told them they would battle to determine who would learn the secrets in a magical scroll to increase their fighting ability. Genjuro wins, but almost kills Haohmaru; in response, Nicotine banishes Genjuro which begins the latter's grudge against Haohmaru and Nicotine. Encouraged by this defeat to further improve himself, Haohmaru travels the lands perfecting his sword skills, and searches for worthy challengers in the name of shura. During his many travels, Haohmaru also raises Shizumaru and trains him to be a fighter.^[32] This article does not cite any references or sources. ...
