Mantaro is the son of Suguru Kinniku (Suguru Muscle) and Bibinba (Belinda), and is the current prince of Planet Kinniku. He is spoiled and prefers to play rather than fight and train. He is a serious lecher and will often try to sneak into cabarets and enjo kosai cafes (this aspect is toned down in the anime, as he is only 14). Though quite stupid, he is quick to learn techniques or think up new ones on the spot.

Mantaro is very cowardly and will often hesitate to fight. But when his friends are in trouble or his opponents are fighting unfairly, he musters up the courage to fight. When the fight reaches it's climax, he evokes the his hereditary Kajiba no Kuso Djikara (Power of Ultimate Muscle) and the Niku Mark (肉マーク?) appears on his forehead. He is named after Ultraman Taro (Ultraman + Taro). Because of this, in the early episodes of the anime he is often mistakenly called Kinnikuman Taro (キン肉マン・タロウ?).

Because Suguru had his old fight records annulled, Mantaro never knew how great his father was until he met Meat. Mantaro uses his father's old techniques the Kinniku Buster and the Kinniku Driver until he develops his own finishing moves, the Muscle Millennium and the Muscle Gravity.

In the anime, Mantaro has a habit of adding ~Muscle (~マッスル, ~Massuru?) at the end of certain words and sentences in place of the standard ~masu (~ます?). For example, Itadaki-masu (いただきます?), a common Japanese phrase said before eating, becomes Itadaki-MUSCLE (いただきマッスル?).

[edit] Names Mantaro is called by (Japanese version)

  • Mantaro: Suguru Kinniku (Kinniku Clan in general), Chojin Wrestling community
  • Nisei (Junior): Meat (commonly)
  • Mantarou-san: Kuan, 20th Century Meat
  • Aniki (Brother): Seiuchin
  • Manta: Rinko and her friends
  • Kinnikuman's Child: Mainly villains
  • Baka Aho Ouji (Stupid Idiot Prince): Meat, Kevin Mask, Scarface, villains

[edit] Techniques

Kajiba no Kuso Djikara (火事場のクソ力 Burning Inner Strength?)
Inherited from his father, it is literally a burning display of power. It is Mantaro's ability to improvise during battle despite his ignorance, last longer than a Choujin with a mere 930,000 power should, and overcome great obstacles. He also seems to be able to sense when a strong Choujin is around. Renamed The Power of Ultimate Muscle in the English dub.
Kinniku Buster (キン肉バスター?)
Mantaro places an opponent's neck on his shoulder and grabs their thighs. He then jumps up and lands in a sitdown position, causing damage to the neck, spine, and groin.
  • Turn Over Kinniku Buster (ターンオーバー・キン肉バスター?)
Mantaro grabs his opponent in a front neckbreaker hold, jumps into the air, somersaults, and then performs a standard Kinniku Buster but with the opponent's body facing in the opposite direction.
Kinniku Driver (キン肉ドライバー?)
Mantaro runs up to his opponent and places his head between their legs. He then leaps up, flips the opponent upside down, places his feet on the underside of their arms, and drives them into the canvas.
Muscle Millenium (マッスル・ミレニアム?)
Mantaro sends his opponent high in the air vertically, then he runs into one of the ring's ropes at a fast speed, sets himself like a slingshot, and then launches himself into his opponent's back headfirst. The front part of his opponent's body is pushed into the opposite side of the ring's ropes, which leaves noticeable marks of the ropes on the opponent's front.
  • Muscle Millenium Lengths (マッスル・ミレニアム・レングス?)
Muscle Gravity (マッスル・G(グラヴィティ)?)
Mantaro performs a standard Kinniku Buster, but right before hitting the mat he invokes the power of the Kajiba no Kuso Djikara, creating an intense increase in gravity, and flaps the opponent's body outstretched forward, causing their chin to rest on his shoulder. He then clamps their arms with his feet, causing their neck, spine, arms, and legs break and their chest to tear open upon impact.
Kinniku Clan Special Back Drop (キン肉族スペシャルバックドロップ, Kinniku-zoku Supesharu Bakku Doroppu?)
Mantarou Air (マンタローエア?)
Mantarou Bomb (万太郎ボム?)
Mantarou's Best Stretch (マンタロー一番搾り, Mantarou Ichiban Shibori?)

Demonic Niku Strike (魔肉の一撃, Maniku no Ichigeki?)
Mantarou Octopus (マンタローオクトパス?)
Mantarou Quebrada (マンタローケブラーダ?)
NIKU⇒LAP
A tag technique done with Kevin Mask. While Mantaro performs a Kinniku Buster on an opponent, Kevin performs an OLAP on the same opponent.
Muscle Docking (マッスル・ドッキング?)
A tag technique done with Chaos. Mantaro and Chaos each take an opponent. While one performs a Kinniku Buster on his foe, the other performs a Kinniku Driver on his. With the one performing the Buster descending and the one performing the Driver ascending, they "dock" when the Buster performer sits on the other's shoulders. They then drive into the canvas, affecting both opponents.

[edit] Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] Prehistory

Mantaro is born to "The Legend of All Legends" Kinnikuman, the 58th King of Planet Kinniku, and his queen Bibinba. However, because Kinnikuman had his records annulled after becoming king, Mantaro is unaware of how great his father truly is until he meets Meat. Mantaro is trained by his father for most of his early childhood, but as Kinnikuman becomes increasingly busy ruling Planet Kinniku, his old friend Ramenman is brought in to finish Mantaro's basic training. Despite of all of this, Mantaro grows up into a very spoiled, lazy, and cowardly prince (however, the fact that he was raised during peace times could also be a factor).

[edit] Demon Seed Arc

While Mantaro is recovering from his loss at the Choujin Olympics, Reborn Ashuraman and the Demon Seed separate Meat's body into six pieces. Their aim is to use the parts to revive General Terror, but Mantaro can win them back by defeating the Demon Seed members. His first match is against 4D fighter The Constellation, who had already defeated Legend Buffaloman with ease. Mantaro has a hard fight against Constellation's 4D powers. He eventually sets him up for the Muscle Millenium, but Constellation is able to escape it. Mantaro begins to give up, but his No. 1 fan Kuan encourages him and cheers him on all in a manner similar to Meat, and he regains his power. He then defeats Constellation with an incomplete Muscle Gravity.

After the first fight Mantaro is too exhausted to continue, but luckily Hanzou, Ilioukhine, and Barrierfreeman arrive to fill in for him. Mantaro watches from the sidelines (along with Rinko, Kid, Seiuchin, Gazelleman, Check, Jade, Jacqueline, and later, his father Kinnikuman) as one by one they all defeat their opponents but still end up dying (for different reasons). During the tag between the Blood Evolutions (Kevin Mask and Scarface) and The Demolitions (Reborn Ashuraman and Voltman), Mantaro watches for a way to defeat Ashuraman's Ultimate Ashura Buster. After the match ends and Scar is killed, a rematch is set with Mantaro teaming up with Kevin as The Botchan's (ザ・坊ちゃんズ?). They are given a few days to train for the fight, so Mantaro trains with Kid, Seiuchin, and Gazelleman. Unfortunately, he is unable to discover a way to defeat the Ultimate Ashura Buster.

The day of the rematch comes and Kevin and Mantarou enter the Demon Womb, fighting in a ring atop hundreds of Choujin corpses, including the fallen Idol Choujin. As the fight gets underway it soon becomes a handicap match against Voltman. Eventually they are able to defeat Voltman with their combo technique the Niku→Lap. Kevin saves Meat's right leg but then passes out from exhaustion, falling out of the ring and to his death. Mantaro is upset that Kevin has died but is relieved that another piece of Meat has not been added to General Terror. But then Ashuraman cuts off his own leg for General Terror and is given a metal prosthetic leg. As the fight continues, Mantaro still can't find a way to defeat the Ultimate Ashura Buster, but when Ashuraman's past is revealed he becomes shaken up enough that Mantaro gains an opportunity to defeat him with a Complete Muscle Gravity. He then puts Meat back together and revives his fallen comrades with the Reborn Diamond.

[edit] Ultimate Choujin Tag Arc

One day, while he is supposed to be sparring with the other Idol's, Mantarou daydreams about being beat up by Kinnikuman and Terryman. Later, he is one of the 8 Time Warp Choujins and travels back in time to the days of the Legends (right after the Dream Choujin Tag Arc conclusion) in order to save Robin Mask from being killed and, by extension, Kevin Mask from being erased from time. He is initially made part of Barrierfreeman's Team 3, in charge of finding the Time Choujin's horns. Mantarou stumbles across the horns after Kid smacks a dirty magazine out of his and Barrier's hands. As they are boarding the timeship, Mantarou tries to smuggle all of his toys and junk food, but Meat and Gazelleman reduce his luggage to the essentials. On the ship, Kid puts him on trash duty but soon sends him outside to remove a headstone (believed to be Chaos') from blocking the flight path. Before going back inside, Mantarou takes out a pack of sauce and writes The Kevin Mask (ケビン・マスク号, Kebin Masuku Go?) on the side of the ship.

Upon arrival in 1983, Mantarou and Kid stop Lightning and Thunder from killing Robin, but immediately arouse suspision from Kinnikuman and the other Legends. During the confusion, the Time Choujins try to kill Robin with the Death Watch Branding. While rushing to save Robin, Mantarou accidentally bumps Alisa (Robin's wife) into the Tag Trophy, causing her to bounce off and fall into the Death Watch Branding. Lightning takes advantage of this and thanks Mantarou for the "support", further convincing the Legends that the New Generation are evil. When the Ultimate Choujin Tag Tournament is announced, Mantarou tries to team up with Kid as the New Century Machineguns, but he refuses. After Seiuchin joins with Neptuneman, Mantarou is the only one without a partner. With help from 20th Century Meat, he learns of a legendary hero who protects the earth from Akugyo Choujin while the Legends are settling into retirement. This man is alive and living in Japan today (1983), but before they can learn his name, Mantarou unknowingly uses the page about him in the Choujin Encyclopedia as toilet paper. (more to come)

[edit] Kalbi Bowl Ondo

In the anime, Mantarou will often sing the following song before eating his favorite dish, Kalbi Bowl:

Japanese Version
Karubi-don no "Ka" no Ji wa Kah-Kah-Kah (カルビ丼の「カ」の字は　カッカッカ?)
Karubi-don no "Ru" no Ji wa Run-Run-Run (カルビ丼の「ル」の字は　ルンルンルン?)
Karubi-don no "Bi" no Ji wa Bin-Bin-Bin (カルビ井の「ビ」の字は　ビンビンビン?)
A~ Don Don (あ～　「丼」「丼」?)
English Translation
The "Ka" in Kalbi Bowl is Kah-Kah-Kah
The "Ru" in Kalbi Bowl is Run-Run-Run
The "Bi" in Kalbi Bowl is Bin-Bin-Bin
Aaaaaaaahhh, Bowl-Bowl!
English Dub Version
With my rice I like to have some cow, cow, cow
It tastes so very good, I don't know how, how, how
It's my favorite form of chow, chow, wow
Oooooooowww, EAT NOW!
