Gamelan is a State Military Officer serving in the Third Sovereign Battalion in Central City. He appears exclusively in the 2009 anime series. In Episode 56, when his team is deployed to back up Führer King Bradley, he advances to try and recapture the main gate of the Central Command headquarters from Fort Briggs soldiers. Unfortunately for Gamelan, he and every member of his platoon are quickly knocked unconscious by an attack from the newly arrived Fu. In the manga, this role is filled by the recurring character Storch, which makes Gamelan an anime-only substitute. It is possible that Gamelan's name is derived from Maurice Gamelin, the French commander-in-chief during the early years of the Second World War.
