History[]

Kinnikuman[]

20th Chojin Olympics Arc[]

Kani Base is first seen as the Italian representative during the 20th Chojin Olympics. [4] He is accidentally elbowed by Kinnikuman in the face, which causes a fight to break out, but a rock-paper-scissor match is declared as a means to see who will qualify for the competition. Kani Base is angry at such a game being a major deciding a factor, and this is made worse by how his pincers only form 'rock' and so Kinnikuman beats him with 'paper'.

Mad about his lost, he team up with Kinkotsuman and Iwao to savotage the Olympics, but he then he just disappear.

21st Chojin Olympics Arc[]

During the 21st Chojin Olympics: The Big Fight arc, we see that Kani Base has applied again to be a contestant, as he seeks to finally prove his worth over Kinnikuman. [5] He reveals that he was able to change his pincer-hands into fingered-hands with plastic surgery, so Kinnikuman's tactic of using "rock" in the rock-paper-scissor game is ineffective, but Kinnikuman uses 'scissors' instead, as now all he can do is 'paper'. He thus loses once more. [5]

Luckly for him, that wasn't suppouse to be a preliminary challenge. Instead, he fails the first trial of the Olympics, the Chojin Sieve, and is disqualificated from the Olympics once more.
