As with many characters from the first arc, Kinkotsuman appears as a recurring character throw out the anime adaptation.

Also, Kinkotsuman and Iwao return in the sequel series, Scramble for the Thone, and as in the original series, they are mostly the filler comedy for each episode.

Disambig This article is about the character. For the chapter, see Chapter 18.

Kinkotsuman is one of the first antagonists that appear in Kinnikuman. In the manga, he plays a minimal role, but in the anime, he becomes a recurring antagonist (for comedic purposes). He is usually seen with his accomplice Iwao. He also has a son called Bone Cold. His name is changed to Skullduggery in Ultimate Muscle.

About

Kinkotsuman is an alien who has come from Dokuro-sei (ドクロ星, Planet Skull) in order to conquer Earth. He was Kinnikuman's nemesis in the early chapters and was just as silly and stupid as his rival. After his loss to Kinnikuman he reappears with Iwao as his sidekick, and from then on they plot schemes in order to defeat Kinnikuman.

In the original manga he disappears after the series switches to just wrestling, but in the anime he and Iwao appear alongside Detective Gobugari as members of the Justice Chojin cheering party for the remainder of the series.

Personality

A self proclaimed genius, Kinkotsuman is just a wacky goofball with a persistent and vengeful nature, as seen in his countless tries in getting revenge on Kinnikuman. He is an abusive person, as seen with the comedic violence he commits against his minion, Iwao. And then in Kinnikuman Nisei, were shown that he was a really abusive father with Bone Cold. This act makes him rethink his life, and then became a kinder person.

Appearance

Kinkotsuman is a chojin who seems to just be a skeleton. He has white hair that's long and goes past mid-point on his back. He wears black trousers with a red belt that has pebble designs on it. He also wears red shoves, gloves and scarf. He has the character for bone () on his forehead.

Relationships

Iwao

As the leader of the kaijus, Iwao and the other monsters follow him in his revenge against Kinnikuman, but after he was defeated once more, only Iwao stays with him.They have a master/minion like relation, with Iwao usually following his master into any dirty tactic that he has planned. Kinkotsuman can also be quite abusive on him, usually hitting his head.

Bone Cold

Kinkotsuman has a complicated relation with his son. He always beated him when he was a child, in order to free his frustration for all the defeats he had at Kinnikuman hands. This made Bone Cold become a emotionless assassin with a great grieve against his father.

Abilities

Kinkotsuman shows skill in marksmanship. He's a genius as seen by his mecha Ukon, his UFO base, and the device he used to brainwash and grow Natsuko Shono.

History

Kinnikuman

1st Kaiju Extermination Arc

After a spaceship crashes into town, Kinkotsuman appears in giant-form among the Tokyo skyline. [3] He performs several poses, before pouring milk over Kinnikuman, which is Kinnikuman's weakness, and proceeds to break Meat's glasses. He then commands Sprinter Sword to attack Kinnikuman. The two attack Kinnikuman in unison, until Terryman appears to kill Sprinter Sword and shoot at Kinkotsuman's wrist. Terryman gives Kinnikuman some garlic, which allows Kinnikuman to regain enough strength to defeat Kinkotsuman, whose head rolls into a lake. [3]

At a later date, Kinnikuman tosses away Tendon; Tendon is found by Iwao, who takes him to Kinkotsuman. [4] They use a special ray to make Tendon large and monstrous in nature, so that Tendon may attempt to murder Kinnikuman. [4] He retreats to hiding in his UFO base, which Kinnikuman and Terryman try to knock from the air and bring down to Earth. [5] Kinkotsuman and Iwao decide to defeat Terryman, in order to make defeating Kinnikuman easier, and turn Natsuko into a giant kaijiu. Kinkotsuman sends in Bazoogara to attack Terryman, who tries to help Natsuko, and with Kinnikuman he defeats Bazoogara and returns Natsuko to normal, much to Kinkotsukman's dismay (as his UFO base is destroyed in the process). [5]

In an attempt to kidnap Kinnikuman, Kinkotusuman dresses as a woman and invites Kinnikuman to a celebratory party at a mansion while in disguise. [6] He and other kaiju beat up Kinnikuman, before tossing him into a dungeon. Okamaras helps Kinnikuman to escape, and Kinkotsuman chases after him, but Okamaras upends a can of gasoline, which trips up Kinkotsuman. When Kinnikuman uses his Face Flash, this explodes the gasoline and injures Kinkotsuman. [6]

Kunta appears, one day, to explain that three Kaiju are attacking her village and lay siege to her island: Octopus Dragon, Harigoras, and Ukon (who is later shown to be Kinkotsuman and Iwao in disguise). [7] After Kinnikuman and Terryman defeat Harigoras and Octopus King, a piece of meat appears before Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman eats the meat. Custom dictates whomever eats the meat must fight Ukon one-on-one in battle. It is meat thrown by Ukon in a challenge. [7]

Kinnikuman goes to a Colosseum, who has taken Kunta hostage and is attacked by the locals with various objects, as they throw things into the Colosseum. [8] Tabuchi tries to save the princess, but Ukon flicks him away with a giant finger. When Kinnikuman climbs a pole to escape, Ukon shakes it to get him down. Kinnikuman soon loses the fight, causing Ukon to rule over the people and turn them into slaves. Kinnikuman becomes his servant, but - when lighting a cigar for Ukon - he sets Ukon on fire in a blaze. [8]

The skin melts off Ukon, revealing he was a robot all along. When he kidnaps Kunta once more, the locals call upon Mammora to save them. Mammora picks Kinnikuman up on his back and flies towards Ukon, whom they smash into a wall to remove his arm. Kinnikuman uses the Kinniku Flash, but it does not work on Ukon. After several exchanges of blows, Mammora destroys Ukon and it is revealed Kinkotsuman and Iwao were working the robot the entire time, but they soon run away. [8]

20th Chojin Olympics Arc

Kinkotsuman and Iwao appear in the sidelines to cause chaos. [9]

He first tries to terrorise the chojin with his invisibility gun, during the second-round preliminary event. [10] They turn themselves invisible, before tickling the chojin during the kaiju-lifting competition, and this causes the chojin to drop the kaiju and be too injured to proceed in the competition. They try to tickle Kinnikuman, but fail, and instead kick him in the crotch, which causes him such pain that he lifts the kaiju very high and passes the preliminary event. Kinnikuman then throws the kaiju on Kinkotsuman and Iwao, exposing them. [10]

Kinkotsuman later plants a bomb on the moon, during the third-round preliminary event to retrieve a rabbit from the moon's surface, but the bomb explodes as soon as Kinnikuman touches it (as opposed to the plan of unknowingly him carrying it back to Earth, thinking it a rabbit), and the explosion sends him quickly back to Earth. [11] This sends all the final contestants onto Earth at the same time, due to the blast, and a battle royale is decided to settle who shall pass through to the main competition. [12] Kinkotsuman creates a gun that will make anyone obey him and sneaks into the ring as a referee. Terryman steals the device and makes the contestants attack Kinkotsuman, who thus fails in his plan to defeat Kinnikuman. [12]

Kinkotsuman later obtains a chojin rifle, after which he escapes the police to break into the grounds of the Chojin Olympics.
