List of Ultimate Muscle characters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of characters who appear in Yudetamago's manga and anime series Ultimate Muscle/Kinnikuman Nisei.
[edit] Prologue of a Legend~Hercules Factory Arc
- Mantaro Kinniku (キン肉万太郎 Kinniku Mantarō) / Mantaro Muscle (Kid Muscle)
- Seiyū: Masaya Onosaka/Marc Thompson (US). Homeland: Planet Kinniku, Age: 14 (Choujin Olympics: 15, Ultimate Tag: 16), Height: 176cm/5'9", Weight: 83kg/189lbs., Chojin Power: 930,000. The main character of the story. He is the 59th prince of Planet Kinniku and son the first Kinnikuman, Suguru Muscle (Suguru Kinniku) and Belinda Bibinba. Raised during times of peace, he is a spoiled, cowardly, lazy teenager, much like his father was at the beginning of the first series except with more emphasis on cowardice and less on clumsiness. He usually start matches off in a cowardly state, only managing to get a few good moves in due to luck. However, when his friends are in trouble or his opponent is being dishonorable, he manages to reach the state of Kajiba no Kuso Djikara (Burning Inner Strength). When this happens, the Niku-Mark appears on his forehead and his strength, stamina, and technique increase many fold. Because Suguru had his records annulled years ago, Mantaro never knew how great a hero his father really was until he met Meat. Mantaro was named after Ultraman Taro (Ultraman + Taro/Kinniku + Mantaro). Mantaro's favorite wrestling move is his father's signature move, the Kinniku Buster (sometimes called the Butt Buster in the English dub, though it actually translates to Muscle Buster) which he won much of his wrestling matches with until he gains his own signature move, Muscle Millennium. Mantaro is rather lecherous and lusts after many girls, but his main love interest is Rinko Nikaido (Roxanne). His favorite food is galbi bowl (Cow and Rice), which he often sings about. Trademark Techniques: Kinniku Buster, Turn Over Kinniku Buster, Kinniku Driver, Muscle Millennium, Muscle G (Gravity), Iroha Hell Tour, Mantaro Air, Back Drop.
- Terry the Kid (テリー・ザ・キッド Terī Za Kiddo) / Terry "The Grand" Kenyon
- Seiyuu: Toshiyuki Morikawa, Ai Nonaka (young)/Frank Frankson (US). Height: 190cm/6'2", Weight: 86kg/191.1lbs, Choujin Power: 1,050,000. Son of Texan super wrestler Terryman and Japanese reporter Natsuko Shōno. Terryman was best friends with Mantaro's father Suguru, and Terry believes Suguru stole the limelight away from Terryman. Because of this Kid has a complex against his father and Mantaro, but he soon learns the true power of friendship and changes his ways. He is initially assigned to Osaka after graduating from the Hercules Factory. He won almost half of the tournament, before he was severely hurt. Kid survives an operation after he is defeated by Scar Face (Eskara). In the Choujin Olympic qualifying round, he abandons the race to save a drowning boy (much like how his father once threw the qualifying round to save a dog), but he shows up later in the tournament as The Matenro's coach. During the Ultimate Choujin Tag arc, his complex returns and he teams up with Robin Mask instead of Mantaro. Despite the fact that they look almost identical (except for the K-mark on his forehead), possess similar behaviour patterns, and use the same techniques, Kid claims he is nothing like his father. Trademark Techniques: Calf Branding, Spinning Toe Hold, Texas Clover Hold, Kid's Triangle Choke, High Voltage Bomb, $1,000,000 Kick.

A big Irish walrus (seiuchi is Japanese for walrus). His mother and sister Dorothy look very similar to him. He likes to eat fish. For some reason he (and his family) look up to Mantaro. He graduated second in his class and was initially assigned to protect Hokkaidō. In The Ultimate Chojin Tag Teams, Neptuneman stuns everyone by choosing mild-mannered Wally as his tag partner. Neptuneman had remembered the story of The Walrus and the Carpenter from his homeland and decided to train Wally to bring out the untapped cold-blooded power in him. Trademark Techniques: STF, Ice Rock Driver.
- Gazelleman (ガゼルマン Gazeruman) / Dik-Dik Van-Dik

He graduated top of his class and was given the esteemed assignment of protecting Tokyo, although later in the series he's portrayed as a comical loser who's always being clobbered by evil chojin.

- Seiyū: Mahito Ohba. A native of Houston, Texas. Height: 220cm, Weight: 185kg, Choujin Power: 870,000. His whole costume is a giant Confederate States of America flag (The 4Kids dub recolored his costume to be completely red, as the Confederate flag is considered offensive by some). In the original manga version of Nisei, when the Legends first announce the Hercules Factory graduates, Mantaro steals Gorgeousman's costume and wears it, saying that Gorgeousman's costume is much cooler than his. An almost nude Gorgeousman appears shortly after, forcing Mantaro to return his clothing. His forearms were horribly injured by Check Mate, but he recovered.

The son of English legend Robin Mask. The Spartan-like training his father put him through since childhood and the responsibility of being the successor of the prestigious Robin Family was too much for him to bear, so he ran away from home and became a member of the dMp to rebel. While in training, his life was saved by Scarface. After seeing how dishonorable the dmp was, he walked out on them and became a sort of free agent Choujin. Kevin has his own version of the Kajiba no Kuso Djikara called Maelstrom Power. He later became a finalist in the Choujin Olympics, under the training of Chloe (secretly Warsman). Although he lost in the anime version, the original manga had Kevin win the Choujin championship in the final match against Mantaro. Afterwards, he and Robin Mask seemed to have entered a love/hate relationship. In the current storyline, Kevin has been erased from existence by two Evil Choujins who have gone back in time and killed Robin Mask, prompting Mantaro and the others to go back and return things to normal. The name Kevin Mask is a play on a major wrestling star Kevin Nash.

- Seiyuu: Shinichiro Ohta/Marc Thompson (US). One of Sunshine's star pupils, Rex King is from the United States.

In truth, he is actually is a dinosaur and his "Jurassic Hand" is his real head and what appears to be his "head" is a fake. He pummeled Terry the Kid with his brutal attacks, but Mantaro helped out Terry by telling chillingly bad jokes (coldness being a dinosaur's weakness). He bears a resemblance to Beast Wars' Megatron.
- Check Mate (チェックメイト Chekkumeito)

Because of this, he became the first victim of Seiuchin and Neptuneman's Optical Fiber Cross Bomber, resulting in the skin on his face being peeled off.

[edit] HF Second Year Replacement Matches Arc
- Jade (ジェイド Jeido) / Jeager
- Seiyuu: Kenji Nojima, Fumiko Orikasa (young)/Wayne Grayson (US). Height: 187cm/6'1", Weight: 93kg/206.67lbs, Choujin Power: 950,000. Brocken Jr.'s German pupil, first introduced as a member of Generation EX. His nickname is "Berlin's Green Arrow", as he wears a green uniform and bicyclist's helmet. An orphan, he was raised by an eldery couple, who were subsequently slain by a trio of anti-superhuman thugs. This incident was what inspired Jade to seek Brocken's guidance in becoming a champion for those unable to defend themselves. (In the anime, he is later revealed to be Brocken's son, though this is not the case in the manga.) Jade's ultimate attack is Brocken's "The Red Rain of Pain" (a.k.a. "Red Rain of Berlin", a chop-like attack capable of cutting right through a superhuman's body). According to Brocken, it works on the principle of "cutting the flesh to cut the meat, cutting the meat to cut the bone, cutting the bone to cut the core". However, Jade's version differs from Brocken's in that Jade actually causes a blade to protrude from his hand before slashing, and his hand/arm is usually engulfed in flames before he delivers the attack. Jade's second favourite move is the "Beefcake Hammer", where he shifts behind the opponent, raises one of his opponent's legs and crosses the opponent's arms around it before executing a leaping suplex. In a grueling concrete deathmatch, Jade is defeated by Scarface (Eskara/Mars) in Maui, Hawaii, and fails to enter the finals. Though Scarface twists off Jade's right arm, it is later reattached. He later participates in the Chojin Crown. Unfortunately, he suffers another defeat, this time to yet another dMp member in disguise (Ricardo).
- Scarface (Mars) (スカーフェイス Sukāfeisu／マルス Marusu) / Eskara
- Seiyuu: Kenji Nomura/Marc Thompson (US). An Italian dMp that infiltrated the Hercules Factory under the guise of a mafia bruiser. His true name is Mars. Back at the dMp, he helped Kevin Mask survive the intense training, gaining a scar on his back in the process. Mars's specialty is that he imitates (and then improves) the special moves of other chojin. The previously mentioned scar on his back proved to be his undoing when he became the first victim of Mantaro's Muscle Millennium. He later fights for good as an "Idol Chojin". During the Ulitimate Choujin Tag Arc, he dons his overbody once again for the fight with the Hell Expansions. Likely mistaking the katakana ル (ru) for リ (ri), Mars's name is often mistakingly called "Malice" by English-speaking fans.
- Clioneman (クリオネマン Kurioneman) / Hydrozoa
- Seiyuu: Takuro Takahashi/Dan Green (US). A clione Chojin from Russia. Hydrozoa can transform his body into several things, including a giant squid, a jellyfish, and a magnifying glass to use the sun's rays to create a deadly laser-type weapon. Hydrozoa's special move is the XYZ Crash, named so because XYZ are the last letters of the English alphabet, meaning that his matches end once he hits the move. He savagely defeated Wally Tusket in his match, but was beaten by Mantaro in the second round.
- Dead Signal (デッド・シグナル Deddo Shigunaru) / Road Rage
- Seiyuu: Tetsu Inada/Sebastian Arcelus (US). A living Traffic light from Japan. He can control his opponents movements by using various roads signs. Dead Signal's special move is the Sign Rotary Saw where the sign that makes up his head spins around like a buzzsaw blade to slice into his opponent. He was defeated by Mantaro in the first round of the Replacement Tournament (also the only member of Generation EX to lose in the first round). In the rom hack of Kinnikuman Tag Match Road Rage is a playable character.
- Rinko Nikaidō (二階堂凛子 Nikaidō Rinko) / Roxanne
- Seiyuu: Fumiko Orikasa/Lisa Ortiz (US). Birthdate: September 9. A girl that was adopted at infancy by Suguru's old girlfriend Mari Nikaido.

- Keiko (恵子) / Kiki
- Seiyuu: Ai Nonaka/Kerry Williams (US). A friend of Roxanne's that was bullied in school. She almost ended up prostituting herself to The Rigani to pay off the bullies. In the anime, none of this happens.
- Tamaki Maekawa (前川たまき Maekawa Tamaki) / Trixie
- Seiyuu: Reiko Kiuchi/Megan Hollingshead (US). A ganguro kogal that bullied Keiko, she later befriends Roxanne and Keiko. In the anime, Tamaki isn't a ganguro girl, and instead has dark blonde hair. Terry the Kid is her main love interest.

At the Chōjin Olympics he is seconded by his friends Gazeman (ガンキュー Gankyū) and Pelé (ペレ). He defeats Jade in the quarter-finals, and then proceeds to lose to Mantarou in a semifinal match that involves a large, wooden structure covered with razor-sharp blades ("Punishment X", manga) or a similar device that confers electric shocks ("Electrolix", anime). He has yet to make a second appearance. Trademark Techniques: Torture Slash, Zuffara, Iguazu Lock.
- Pashango (パシャンゴ)
- Seiyuu: Tomohisa Asou. Ricardo's trainer who taught him a multitude of submission moves (their style is likely meant to be an exaggerated variation of Brazilian jiu-jitsu).

Shocked and angered, Ricardo slays his master with the Torture Slash, then passes the murder off as an accident to his fellow students Hugo (ウーゴ), Silva (シウバ), and Hitōdé (ヒトーデ).

After seeing his potential, Mantarou invites him to team up as the Muscle Brothers Nouveau and participate in the Ultimate Choujin Tag Tournament. Because he was a human he was not allowed to participate in the tournament, so he obtained the Kinnikuman Great mask in order to hide his identity and pose as a Choujin.
-
- Though he claims to be a human and not a Choujin, as a child a horn grew on the side of his head. Currently the horn is gone and in it's place is a keyhole shaped hole, a characteristic shared with the Time Choujins. Also, when the Time Choujins used their Legendary Destruction Bell, he suffered along with the other choujin.

-
- He refers to himself in the first person as Wachiki (ワチキ?) (occasionally using the more common Boku (ボク?)).
