Gōriki (ゴーリキ ) is from Planet Kinniku, sent - alongside Meat Alexandria - to retrieve Kinnikuman.
About[]
Gōriki was a member of Kinniku Planet who came along with Meat to retrieve Kinnikuman. When Suguru refused to leave Earth, Meat forced him to fight Gōriki to decide the matter. 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 didn't matter anyway because the next day Meat offered Kinnikuman a gyuudon if he came home, so he agreed).
History[]
Kinnikuman[]
1st Kaiju Extermination Arc[]
Meat travels to Planet Earth to take Kinnikuman back home, to Planet Kinniku, because there they are having problems with King Ton, the actual prince, and the pig that was mistaken for Kinnikuman when he was a baby.
Kinnikuman refuses to go, but Meat isn't going to accept a "no" as an answer, so he encages Kinnikuman and makes him fight Gōriki, so if he wins, he can stay on Earth, but if he is defeated, he will have to come to Planet Kinniku.
Once the match starts, it looks like Gōriki is going to win with his trademark technique, the Bear Hug. But Kinnikuman, doing funny faces due to the pain, makes Gōriki start laughing so hard that he broke his spine. So, after his defeat, Kinnikuman could stay on Earth.
