Monster Extermination Chapter

For the Kaijū characters (including Kinkotsuman, Iwao, and Nachiguron) see List of Kaijū from Kinnikuman


Yosaku (Tetsuo Mizutori)

Yosaku is an odd little guy who often pops up wherever there's a TV camera, doing an impromptu naked fan dance. In the anime he is known for appearing just about anywhere and performing numerous jobs, most notably working at Kinnikuman's favorite gyuudon place. He also will often fill in as announcer with Nakano-san. He appears frequently throughout the series as several different character, including Bibinba's father Horumon Yāki, and had a longer tenure than the more recognizable Nakano-san. An elderly Yosaku makes a cameo appearance in Kinnikuman Nisei volume 25, chapter 248. Some of his most notable appearances were an eyewitness who claimed to see Nessie, Kinnikuman's Rocky-obsessed boxing coach in the tradition of Mickey Goldmill, Horumon Yāki, and the janitor at Himeji Castle who finds Bikeman. His nickname is Be Anywhere Do Anything Yosaku-san (何処にでも出てきて何にでもなる与作さん, Doko ni demo Detekite Nani ni demo naru Yosaku-san?).


Mari Nikaidō (二階堂マリ, Nikaidō Mari?)

A teacher at Suminoe Kindergarten that inexplicably falls for Kinnikuman. When Bibinba arrives, she feels overshadowed by her and gives up on Kinnikuman, going overseas to study. In Kinnikuman II Mari has returned to Japan and has an adopted daughter named Rinko who is the love interest of Kinniku Mantaro. Theme Song: "Tsukamaete Mai Hiiroo (Catch Me, My Hero)" by Kaori Kumiko.


Detective Akaiwa (赤岩刑事, Akaiwa-keiji?)

A Jōsai District Police Inspector. He is a parody of Tetsuya Watari's cop character Raisuke Kuroiwa from the TV series Daitokai (大都会). When there's trouble, he and his men will often show up with machine guns blazing and then leave without actually solving anything. In the manga he only appears in two stories, but in the anime he is renamed "Gobugari (五分刈 "close haircut"), Police Inspector of the West Sumidagawa Station" and appears frequently. He was referenced in Ultimate Muscle briefly as "Detective Tommy Gunn."


Earth Defense Force Chief (地球防衛軍長官, Chikyuu Bouei-gun Choukan?)/Don Pikeur Derikaone (ドン・ピカー・デリカオーネ?)

A short bald mustachioed man who frequently appears throughout the series. He has a very active imagination and will sometimes try to get involved with the fights. He originally appears as the chief of the Earth Defense Force, but appears again during Kinnikuman's fight with Curry Cook during the Choujin Olympics as a fan eating gyuudon. He appears twice as a doctor: first during the American Tour Arc as the doctor who takes care of Robert, and then during the Seven Akuma Choujin Arc as the doctor who tells Kinnikuman to rest for a few days.


King Tōn (キング・トーン?)

When Suguru was a baby, the Kinniku family was flying in space over the earth. A pig in the ship was causing a commotion, and Mayumi mistakenly threw Suguru (who did look a bit like a pig) out of the ship to Earth. The pig, Ikue, was mistakenly raised as prince in place of Suguru. It become known as King Tōn (Pork) and took over Kinniku Planet. Although he managed to defeat Kinnikuman, a butcher who was King Ton's original owner arrives and chases King Ton away.


Gōriki (ゴーリキ?)

Gōriki was a member of the Kinniku Clan who came along with Meat to retrieve Kinnikuman. If Suguru could beat Gōriki in a Steel Cage Match, he could stay on Earth. Gōriki proved to be too strong for Kinnikuman and soon had him in his trademark Bear Hug. He was about to beat Suguru when he suddenly noticed the goofy faces Suguru was making while in pain. He instantly let go of the Bear Hug and began laughing uncontrollably on the ground. He tossed and turned so much that he broke his spine, allowing Suguru the win (it did not matter anyway because the next day Meat offered Kinnikuman a gyuudon if he came home so he agreed).


Kimiko Nakano (中野公子, Nakano Kimiko?)

Kazuo's wife. In the manga Kazuo will often try to sell her off, but in the anime he had a cloyingly loving relationship with her.


Kazuhiko Torishima (鳥嶋和彦, Torishima Kazuhiko?)

Nana's manager who is in love with her, but cannot bring himself to tell her.


Pandaman (パンダマン?)

The hero of a popular children's TV Program. Kinnikuman mistook him as a real chōjin at an amusement park and challenged him. Meat sometimes wears a Pandaman T-shirt.

Much later in 1998, Eiichiro Oda created a gag profile for an unrelated chōjin also called Pandaman for the Kinnikuman tribute book Kinnikuman 77 Mysteries. He later used him as a recurring background character in his own manga series One Piece. He appeared as a hidden character in the game Kinnikuman Nisei: New Generation vs Legends. However, Oda's character has never appeared in any Kinnikuman manga or anime stories.

Kunta (クンタ?)

The princess of Roots Island. When all of the soldiers on her island are killed by Ukon, Octopus Dragon, and Harigorasu, she enlists the aide of Kinnikuman and Terryman. Meat refers to her as Irresponsible Princess (いいかげんな王女, Iikagen na Oujou?).

20th Choujin Olympics Chapter

Brockenman is also known for being the father of Brocken Jr.


Curry Cook (カレクック?)

Jesse Maivia is a champion of the Hawaiian Choujin world and a master of Move Reversion. He was so powerful he defeated the great Prince Kamehame to become the Hawaiian Champion, and is the only character in the series to defeat him in a singles match. However his power and skill make him arrogant and he never learns his own techniques, instead relying only on his Move Reversion. This leads him to lose the belt to Kinnikuman, but he regains it later from Kamehame. He returns during the 21st Choujin Olympics and again more prominently during the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne.

Pentagon (ペンタゴン?)

Also known as The Pentagon (ザ・ペンタゴン?), he has a five-pointed star polygon drawn on his face, a completely white body, and bird-like wings used for his trademark aerial attacks. The wings on his back can fly up to Mach 1 and his Jumping Power is No. 1 in the Choujin World, but his overall Power is somewhat inferior. In his 21st Choujin Olympics Quarter Finals match against Warsman, his wings were ripped off and he was sliced from his face down to his abdomen. His cousin is Akuma Choujin Black Hole, and the two of them participated in the Dream Choujin Tag Arc as the 4D Killer Combo. By turning the pentagram on his face he can manipulate space-time with his techniques Stop the Time, Chronos Change, and the tag technique 4D Cross. Despite possessing these near invincible techniques, he does not use them during his fight with Warsman, implying he might not have mastered them during the 21st Choujin Olympics. He later appears in Ultimate Muscle as one of the Legends alongside Chienowaman and King Cobra where he was named Starface.

The back up resulted in Kinnikuman winning the match. In the manga he has wore a coil of feces for a hat, but the anime changed it to a water faucet.

He was renamed "Mister Pee" in Ultimate Muscle where he was the father of the Hollywood Bowl.


Cubeman (キューブマン)

A Rubik's Cube choujin. Defeated Chienowaman in the first round, but lost the second to Wolfman.

Tileman (タイルマン)

A tile choujin. Defeated in the qualifying round by the Fishers. He, along with several other lesser Choujins who'd failed to qualify, was given another chance at participation in the tournament by taking part in a demonstration to touch Benkiman. He thought that as he was so large, he could not be flushed by the toilet choujin, but served to demonstrate Benkiman's power to roll his opponents into tiny balls. He was shot out when Kinnikuman made Benkiman's plumbing back up.


Jawsman (ジョーズマン)

A competitor in the 21st Choujin Olympics who was eliminated in the final preliminary. He looked a lot like Atlantis.

The Ninja turned up alive and became a member of Kinnikuman Soldier's team during the survivor series for the throne of Planet Kinniku.

Muscle Returns

Although this story has had some continuity errors removed in recent reprints, it still does not fit in well with Kinnikuman Nisei canon.


Buki Boy (ブキボーイ)

A very powerful Chōjin who bursts onto the scene and easily takes out Warsman, Terryman, and Buffaloman. He is eventually defeated by Kinnikuman.


Kuan (クァン)

A wild boy chōjin that is friends with Kinnikuman. This character was later reused in Kinnikuman Nisei, still a child, creating a continuity error.

The son of Robin Mask and later a major character in m.u.s.c.l.e. and c.h.e.e.s.e. seres of toys Kinnikuman Nisei. He appears in the original printing as a child sized duplicate of Robin Mask and refers to Robin as "Tou-san" (父さん, father?), but in the Remix he is changed to look more like he does in Nisei and refers to Robin as "Daddy". His presence in the story is one of its biggest continuity errors, as the story takes place 8 years after the Survivor Match and his starting age in Nisei (18) implies that he has not even been born yet.
