* BlackSheep: The Kure clan is made up of friendly assassins, except for Raian who even his own family can't stand.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Modelled after former Ozeki [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miyabiyama_Tetsushi Miyabiyama ]].

* SumoWrestling: His entire gimmick as a fighter and a incredibly rebellious example at that. He comes from a family of career Rikishi, with both his brothers being famous Yokozuna and him being the rebellious, delinquent younger brother [[note]]though his older brothers heavily imply they themselves were like this when they were his age if not worse[[/note]]. He wants to bring Sumo back to its more violent roots, actively participates in underground fighting and practices “Primal Sumo”, which uses moves and techniques (kicks and sucker punches for example) illegal under modern Sumo rules, however, after a [[spoiler:humbling defeat in the Annihilation Tournament's first round by Sekibayashi, who he dismissed as a "faker" at first]], he started taking modern Sumo seriously once again, and has become a Sekiwake[[note]]The third-highest ranking in the top ''Makuuchi'' division of Grand Sumo, only outranked by the Ozeki and Yokozunas.[[/note]] by ''Omega''.

* MadeOfIron: It comes with the body type and backbreaking training routines that Sumo wrestlers do day in and day out. He's absolutely tough as nails to the point where Sekibayashi has to use his own strength against him to bring Takeru down.

* SimpleYetAwesome: His Primal Sumo is just simple street fighting. That said, it involves him throwing lethally accurate kicks with legs the size of ''tree trunks'', which proves able knock to [[MadeOfIron Sekibayashi]] out for a few seconds. He even lampshades how simple it is.

* TookALevelInBadass: Despite abandoning his Primal Sumo in ''Omega'', he has improved greatly as a fighter. In his first fight back he completely destroys [[spoiler:Takayuki Chiba]] with a single throw. He also climbed formal sumo rank to Ozeki, which means he won at least thirty-three sumo match within the last three tournament and did so as clean and sportsmanlike as it gets.

* BerserkButton: Sekibayashi wearing a backwards gingko-leaf topknot, a hairstyle that's solely reserved for Sumo wrestlers at the Juryo division. Kiozan started the match in response by immediately slamming Seki into the ground while his back was turned.

!!! '''The Ozeki Boss'''

* TookALevelInBadass: Despite abandoning his Primal Sumo in ''Omega'', he has improved greatly as a fighter. In his first fight back he completely destroys [[spoiler:Takayuki Chiba]] with a single throw.

* {{Bishonen}}: He stands out among the masculine fighting roster with a more slender frame and somewhat feminine features, as Adam puts it in his usual foul-mouthed way.

* EvilHero: He works as a police officer and his first on-screen action as a vigilante is killing a Yakuza who is in the middle of torturing a teenager. He then establishes himself as an evil KnightTemplar by murdering the Yakuza's victim as well, because he's a delinquent who stole from Yakuzas and are therefore "evil".

* HateSink: There's nothing redeeming or likeable about him, aside from the fact that he was [[InformedAttribute apparently once a better person]] and [[NoPlaceForMeThere is cognizant that his own actions make him an evildoer]], as his relationship with Hiyama is a heavily abusive one that's going to end with him murdering her due to her cousin being a criminal, as he'll murder people just for being a relative of somebody who committed a crime, even if they're innocent. If that wasn't enough, it's also shown that he murdered a teenager for being a delinquent who stole from Yakuzas and murdered an entire family, which included an innocent young man and his pregnant fiancé just because the man's father was a violent criminal to make it clear to the readers and audience that he's not supposed to be likable in any capacity. Lampshaded in ''Omega'' as the Kengan fans refuse to cheer for him to the surprise of Purgatory fans.

* AnimalMotif: He seems to have one that associates with lions. As his name is very similar to the Japanese pronunciation of the word lion being "Raion". His favorite Kure technique he is seen mostly using is also named "Lionbite".

* ForTheEvulz: He doesn't care about his families' dealings in the tournament; he's just there to kill every fighter there.

* MeaningfulName: His epithet "The Devil" which represents Raian's bloodthirsty nature and his ferociousness.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He takes his name from the late Ryan Gracie, member of the Gracie martial arts family that the Kure clan are based on. Just like Raian, Ryan was known to be the more "loose cannon" of the Gracie family.

* PetTheDog: Literally the only time he is ever showing an ounce of decency is when he views Ohma as a WorthyOpponent and shows no ill will towards him after his loss. He even supports Ohma silently when the latter goes up against Cosmo and Gensai Kuroki.

* SmarterThanYouLook: Raian comes across as a sadistic brute, but he ''isn't'' stupid. He's able to properly gauge how strong the other fighters are (like Okubo), recognize the techniques they use and deduce their proper usage, and [[spoiler:knew that Ohma and Cosmo's static deadlock was just them catching their breath.]] It's not that he doesn't get the ins-and-outs of the Association, or that he doesn't have any technical skill; he just can't be bothered with it.

* SuperMode: The Kure Clans greatest secret, Removal. Out of the family he's the best at using it at a release rate of 100%.

* TookALevelInKindness: A very, very minuscule but a noticeable one. [[spoiler: When he and Ohma are bluntly telling Koga that his TrainingFromHell is never going to be enough to bring him up to the level of top tier fighters to make it to the fight against the Purgatory, he points out that Ohma told him that it was too much for him to handle "right now", hinting that Koga could eventually reach their level.]] He then immediately ruins it by stating that he "doesn't give a shit".

* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler: Amazingly strong as Raian is, he stands ''no'' chance against [[TheJuggernaut Edward Wu]] in a straight up fistfight and gets pummeled half to death by him three times over before [[BackStab Xing Wu managed to burrow a knife handle-deep in Edward's neck]], giving the completely adrenaline-fueled Raian a last-ditch chance to take him out by [[BodyHorror tearing out his entire neck by the Carotid]].]]

* BadassAdorable: He's described as CreepyCute InUniverse and has a very kindherated and sociable personality to match, but his prehensile, super-strong hair gives him every bit of an advantage that you'd think it would against the comparitively BadassNormal fighters.

* EasilyForgiven: Akoya brutalized him to the point he is still recovering by the time of the Kengan vs Purgatory tournament. In spite of that, he endorsed Akoya to fight in the Kengan team. The other fighters are shown to still hate Akoya, but learning that Gozo has forgiven him shut their complains.

* CripplingOverspecialization: He almost only uses karate, which has a reach disadvantage compared to other striking martial arts because every attack is delivered with his full body weight behind it. He knows wrestling and Judo, but those don't help with his lack of reach and it's not nearly as refined as Kengan or Purgatory grapplers. While not a great flaw it does give all rounder fighters and people using soft techniques like Hatsumi a winning chance.

* DissonantSerenity: While nowhere near as intimidating as some of the more insane fighters, Wakatsuki has an almost eeriely casual air about him when he displays what made him so dominant in the Kengan Matches in the first place.

* LogicalWeakness: Unleashing his ace-in-the-hole, the Blast Core, requires him to use every muscle in his body at once, including his ankle that will probably never recover from the damage the Fang inflicted on it. Naturally, this causes him quite a bit of pain and risks furthering the damage, but the results of said attack speak for themselves and he's still able to tough it out enough to use it four times throughout the tournament and still have a well-off enough ankle to use it in the finals. He also has troubles against more unconventional martial arts like the Niko Style, Hatsumi's custom made aikido and Kanoh's formless because they can negate or make his strength useless in ways he haven't seen before and therefore can't plan ahead.

** His epithet the Wild Tiger is also consider this since his fighting style is actually similar to that of a tiger due to his overwhelming strength, speed, and toughness.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: By WordOfGod, he's partially based on the legendary Japanese middleweight strongman and bodybuilder [[https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%8B%A5%E6%9C%A8%E7%AB%B9%E4%B8%B8 Takemaru Wakaki]] (1911-2000), who reinvented weightlifting in Japan to overcome the frailty that got him bullied as a child and ended up being strong enough to bench press a locomotive wheel (more than 200 kilos) despite his slight frame of 162cm and 69 kilos. Takemaru ended up teaching [[https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L7yvQNKtUmM/UrClq98c0AI/AAAAAAAAH0E/LCc0KOpHs2A/s640/Image1.jpg weightlifting]] to several people who became revolutinaries in Japan's martial arts scene in the 20th century like Kano Jigoro (Kodokan Judo), Mas Oyama (Kyokushin Karate) and Masahiko Kimura.

* SeenItAll: Not as much as Kuroki or Rolón overall, but since Wakatsuki is the longest serving fighter and has the highest wins in the Kengan Association he is a example of this trope via sheer experience. Wakatsuki has faced fighters with varying stats or skills throughout his career and crushed them with the exception of Agito and Hatsumi who bested him. Even then, Wakatsuki is highly knowledgeable in the matters of fighters and the underground overall. He also correctly points out that [[spoiler: Gensai beating Agito]] would have unfathomable consequences for the Kengan Association.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He can't go a single Baseball saturday without a ''massive'' heaping plate of Sekibayashi's curry.

* SoreLoser: A more understandable example then most considering the circumstances surrounding his “defeat” (being forced to forfeit). But he positively hates Julius even when the two fight proper and the Monster breaks his leg. The few scenes the two share together after that point is usually him staring daggers at him and Julius barely remembering he exists.

* SoreLoser: He went through a bit of MuscleAngst after his loss to Wakatsuki and tries to give him the cold shoulder. Hell, he even pushed himself to train ever harder than before and unlock the ability to flex every single muscle fibre individually just to one day not only get a victory over Wakatsuki, but one day possibly even beat ''Gensai''!

** In a panel of his private gym in Hamburg's industrial quarter, Julius is shown ''casually'' doing 520kg one-handed curls, almost 20 kg's heavier than the ''raw deadlift'' world record and just over '''ten''' the world record one-handed curl. An omake also depicts him passing by to pick up the Four Idiots' run-down car on his shoulder and carrying to the nearest repair shop.
* ThisIsADrill: ''Gott-Töter Steinbohrer'' (God-Killer Rock Drills) involves flexing the muscles in his forearms in precise, drill-like sequences that are milimeter thin to enhance the power of his blows and to break through the defenses of his opponents by unwinding the taught muscles in his arms as they go to parry. While so named, honed, and implemented tactically, he does ''not'' consider it a technique and Muteba points out that it's only something possible for a man who is purely out to strengthen their muscles, not enhance their martial arts or warmongering skills.

* VillainousRespect: He comes to respect Wakatsuki by "Omega". He silently root for him during his fight with Fei and praises his raw physical abilities throughout the fight, knowing from experience that ''nothing'' Fei can do to Wakatsuki will put him down.

* TheDreaded: An unfortunate group of pirates collectively shat themselves when he came for them. Even Horio, one of the more elite Kure Clan members, who once fought Muteba on the job admits he never wants to face the mercenary again. He even seems to play into this for tactical reasons, using incredibly brutal moves like eye-and-ear gouging to make his opponents worry said attacks and play into his ''other'' equally effective tactics.

** After failing to deal with [[spoiler: The Other Niko Tokita, he makes a very good move on warning Idemitsu to not send any assiliants to him noting that there's already casualties and Niko has shown the willingness to ''gladly'' create more.]]

* InstantExpert: Muteba is used to battlefield combat, not a fistfight, but is able to adapt to the Kengan matches in no time at all to the point where seasoned pugilists like [[SeenItAll Wakatsuki and Kaolan]] are a little freaked out by it. Among others things, he decides to start using footwork against Sekibayashi in the second round for a hit-and-run strategy, and instantly masters it. He also copies Sekibayashi's trick of feigning helplessness after he's temporarily deafened, allowing him to set up a combo of lethal attacks in a position where his opponent can't avoid them.

* LimitedWardrobe: Averted with a vengeance unlike a lot of other characters who have two to three outfits at best. Since Muteba is a proud Sapeur he always dresses for the occasion. His preferred outfit is a white suit but when he's in Hamburg to visit Julius' gym, he's in a full classic hiphop outfit with a hoodie, CoolShades and a massive gold necklace, and [[spoiler: when he goes to fight Niko in the Purgatory monitor room]], he brings a skintight black T-shirt and camo pants.

* PutOnTheBus: Subverted in ''Omega''. [[spoiler: Hayami claims the mercenary's trail went cold in Azerbaijan. Turns out he'd just gone off the radar to go on a tropical vacation, which he's more than willing to end prematurely when Togo calls Muteba to hire him for the competition but, due to the competitions rules not meshing with his fighting style, does her one better and finds her Julius Reinhold to enter in his place.]]

* TouchOfDeath: His Heart Jab technique, an ancient Chinese assassination technique which involves striking below the ribcage and tapping the heart, stopping it.

* PsychoForHire: Isn't an assassin but is willing to kill on other peoples orders.

* EasilyForgiven: Akoya brutalized him to the point he is still recovering by the time of the Kengan vs Purgatory tournament. In spite of that, he endorsed Akoya to fight in the Kengan team. The other fighters are shown to still hate Akoya, but learning that Gozo has forgiven him shut their complain.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: One of the biggest contributors to this during the Kengan Association vs. Purgatory Tournament by virtue of being a complete lunatic who is only interested in executing ''justice'', including wanting to kill his own teammates and not caring about the rules.

* AxCrazy: It's not simply the fact that he slaughters criminals, it's that he even directs his brand of justice to ''the relatives'' of those criminals as well. [[spoiler:He becomes even ''more'' crazy without Hiyama giving him instructions; he labeled Haruo and Cosmo as “evil” and nearly killed them both in their matches, and Hiyama states that if she or Cosmo had forfeited Akoya would have killed him and then ''as much of the audience as he could.'']] He's regarded as a liability for this by Team Kengan in ''Omega''.

* CantCatchUp: Feels that he is losing his edge by ''Omega'' as he struggles to enact justice on top tier fighters. Akoya is still a strong fighter by all means but even with his improvement he is not gonna be able to handle fighter of his caliber with ease.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "I will execute justice". Or some variation.

* CurbStompCushion: He struggles with the concept. It's pointed out to him that while he was the superior fighter and had Cosmo dead to rights during their battle, all that matters in the end is that he lost. Inversely, while he wins against [[spoiler:Ryuki]], he doesn't consider it much of a victory since he recognizes that he left himself open to an attack that could have crippled or even killed him, and was only spared from such because his foe didn't want to do that. To Akoya putting the fear of justice is more important than winning and think he is losing his edge after hastily killing [[spoiler:Lu Tian]] as the targets he brutalizes are too strong for him to dominate.
* {{Determinator}}: Once he is set to execute justice he won't stop until he is unconscious. Most fighter sees him as a bad example of this since his determination is not toward ''winning'' as much as inflicting the most severe beatdown possible on someone before executing them.
** One notable instance in his fight with Nicolas in ''Omega'' has an Akoya [[spoiler:unable to move his arms temporarily due to Nicolas' "poison". What does he do? ''Headbutts his opponent until his forehead cracks open while waiting for his hands to function properly.'']]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Innocent people ''being related'' to someone who committed a crime is enough for him to enact "justice" on them. There's also him murdering a teenager just because he was a delinquent, meaning that petty crooks, even if they aren't even an adult, aren't safe from him either.
* EvilHero: He works as a police officer, and his first on-screen action as a vigilante is killing a Yakuza who is in the middle of torturing a teenager. He then establishes himself as an evil KnightTemplar by murdering the yakuza's victim as well, because he's a delinquent and therefore "evil".

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Akoya is not a people person and it shows. No fighter really likes him and he has next to no positive interaction with any of them outside some of the Omakes. The feeling seems to be mutual as he doesn’t need much of a push to want kill any of the fighters, [[spoiler:something he reserves to those he deems “evil”]], and threatens to do so basically at the slightest verbal or physical push they direct at him no matter how strong or weak they might be. The only person who might like him is Cosmo, but only because he was grateful for their fight inadvertently helping him improve as a fighter. In ''Omega'', most of the fighters see him as a liability and negative example of a fighter. As such Wakatsuki asks Yamashita to send him out first in the last five matches so they wouldn't need to rely on him when the chips were ''really'' down.

* HateSink: There's nothing redeeming or likeable about him, aside from the fact that he was [[InformedAttribute apparently once a better person]] and [[NoPlaceForMeThere is cognizant that his own actions make him an evildoer]], as his relationship with Hiyama is a heavily abusive one that's going to end with him murdering her due to her cousin being a criminal, as he'll murder people just for being a relative of somebody who committed a crime, even if they're innocent. If that wasn't enough, it's also shown that he murdered a teenager for being a delinquent, and murdered an entire family, which included an innocent young man and his pregnant fiancé just because the man's father was a violent criminal to make it clear to the readers and audience that he's not supposed to be likeable in any capacity. Lampshaded in ''Omega'' as the Kengan fans refuse to cheer for him to the surprise of Purgatory fans.

* {{Irony}}: A psychopathic serial murderer who has repeatedly shown to have no regard for the value of human life and has literally killed people for minor infractions such as a delinquent or being related to criminals... working for a life insurance company.
* JackOfAllStats: One of things that makes him dangerous as a fighter is he’s incredibly well rounded. He’s incredibly strong (but not as strong as Wakatsuki or Julius), durable (but not as superhuman as Sekibayashi or Saw Paing), intelligent (but not as smart as Muteba or Julius), experienced (but not as seasoned as Kuroki or Agito) and fast (but not as quick as Hatsumi or Rei). This paired with his unmatched reflexes (the one area he is the top of) makes him a fighter who lacks a definitive weakness to exploit for a win condition and can’t be outclassed outright (beyond his mental instability).

* KillerCop: But only off the clock. He works as riot cop, but when doing his vigilante, murder is his first and only ressort.
* KillingIntent: Oozes it, and it's played especially darkly when other people with a LackOfEmpathy see his aura as ''a miasma of screaming skeletons swirling around him'', representing the many lives he's taken. When his switch first flips in the Annihilation Tournament, Cosmo completely freaks out being the target of such an intense resolve when he was just there to fight for fun.

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: For Hiyama. When it comes to combat though she serves this role to him, as she can rein in his murderous instincts when they work together...but as soon as she starts to fail he starts to go off the handle pretty quick.
* TheLoad: Amongst Team Kengan in their fight against Purgatory. He was only signed up because other capable fighters weren't available, and Akoya's psychopathic tendencies even after the Kengan Association's new no-killing mandate makes him an issue in Purgatory's stricter match setup. Once they're at the second half of the tournament, Yamashita and Wakatsuki both opt for sending him in early rather than risk depending on him for a tie-breaker later on. [[spoiler:And their fears are proven right when he and his opponent Nicolas try to kill each other, forcing their teammates to step in and stop them. The match eventually ends up a no-contest.]]
* LogicalWeakness: See SanityHasAdvantages. His forearm shield stance and overall defense is also vulerable to attacks that just need to hit him and doesn't outright go for damage like Nicolas' PressurePoint "poison" jabs.

** In the second round, Hiyama is caught by Nishihonji, and threatened to throw the match before the company's reputation is destroyed by revealing the information. It doesn't work, as he simply becomes TheBerserker in his match, and can't be stopped by his employer.
* NoPlaceForMeThere: Akoya acknowledges that his methods are ultimately wicked, and fully intends to cap off his lifelong crusade by killing himself when the work is done - eliminating one more evildoer.

* PersonalityPowers: His fighting style mirrors his sadistic and heartless personality, as it focuses on subduing and taking control of his opponent's actions as well as rendering them helpless with mounts, holds, and grapples.

* SanityHasAdvantages: When he goes berserk he forgoes calculated attacks and his reaction time takes a dive. This is shown both in his fight with Cosmo where he wastes time torturing him and get blindsided by a kick he would have normally parried if he was in control of his sadism, and against Nicolas where his response to enact with impunity and anger at Nicolas' attacks causes Akoya to walk straight into heavy counter punches or PressurePoint strikes more than once. [[spoiler: The fight ultimately has to be called off because both Akoya and Nicolas were ready to tear each other's throats out even if the ref were to call it off, forcing Rolón, Lihito and Carlos to intervene, ending in it being declared No Contest.]]
* SecretTestOfCharacter: [[spoiler:Akoya seems to treat his fight with Ryuki as a way to determine whether the later is evil by attacking him with intent to kill. His reason ends up being far from noble, wanting to see if Ryuki could end up joining him in his vigilante ways.]]

* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Sports a ''horrifying'' one after realizing that Ryuki can be his "ally" in committing to justice.]]

* UseYourHead: It's noted by Sayaka that he’s headbutting Nicolas in the most insane manner by having his face smash the crown of the other fighter repeatedly. In short he’s damaging himself more than he’s dealing damag, and the only reason he's not knocking himself out doing it is because he has a 33kg weight advantage over Nicolas.

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's a respectable cop outside of his vigilante work, and the public doesn't know of his psychopathic tendencies. In Kengan circles however he has an awful reputation to the point the audience won't cheer him even when he's fighting for the ''existence of the organization itself''.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Taken at face value, his desire to purge the world of evil is a noble goal...if he wasn't a violent psychopath who believes that AllCrimesAreEqual. Depending on how he's feeling, he even edges towards an OmnicidalManiac.

* WouldHurtAChild: He's seen murdering a teenage delinquent just because he was a delinquent in his intro.

* RatedMForManly: Despite his flamboyant, effeminate appearance, he puts a lot of stock in his honor as a fighter and his pride as a man. He asks three other fighters attempting to fix a match if they have a pair of balls between them.

* RatedMForManly: His dedication and love for Pro-Wrestling is nothing short of astounding.

** Hanafusa notes that Muteba's probably knowledgeable on the matter of Chinese medicine as well because of his precision with acupuncture point strikes, letting Muteba break out of Wakatsuki's otherwise perfect clinch hold. Once again, this is a '''completely blind man'' able to strike {{Pressure Point}}s with alarming precision on a moving opponent fighting for his life.

** Hanafusa notes that Muteba's probably knowledgeable on the matter of Chinese medicine as well because of his precision with acupuncture point strikes, letting Muteba break out of Wakatsuki's otherwise perfect clinch hold.

* AffablyEvil: He may be a mercenary whose line of work means he's definitely worked for some less than noble groups in the past, but the worst thing you can say about him is that he's so cocky that he comes across as being mildly sadistic, which isn't helped by his fighting style revolving around trying to disable his opponent as quickly as possible, even if it means seriously injuring and even killing them, and even then, he's actually has a sense of mercy and honor given that he gave the AxCrazy Meguro a chance to surrender during his fight as he disabled the Judoka.

* AllTheOtherReindeer: In ''Omega'' he points out how bizarre it feels to have never struggled with a test of might; He beat up an entire gang of highschool delinquents when he was 10, and though he's lost a few times since becoming a fighter, it has ''never'' due to a difference in physicality. He's too stoic to actually do a NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech, but it's implied that his condition and growing up as a lab rat are probably the reasons behind his FeetOfClay issues.

* TheAce: Julius is the size of a bear and is probably twice as strong and tough as one. He is also [[LightningBruiser much faster]] than his stature and weight would imply. He's considered on par with Wakatsuki, a genetic freak who's one of the most experienced fighters in the world, who suffers [[spoiler:permanent,]] impeding damage taking Julius down by the skin of his teeth. [[spoiler:Because of this, Julius is on of the list of people Himuro's searching for in ''Omega'', since he would basically guarantee a win in the Purgatory faceoff, and sure enough, he breaks the Kengan team's initial losing streak by taking down the Goliathesque Toa Mudo who possesses enough power to have easily been a major contender in the Annihilation Tournament.]]

* PoliceBrutality: But only off the clock.

An animalistic judo master, Masaki was the son of Hiroki Meguro, A.K.A "Meguro the Demon" and trained in a dojo with three other adult practitioners. From ages 7 to 13, Masaki quickly developed a talent for Judo and became his father's star pupil. He had the image of a modest and talented young boy, but this proved to be a facade. One by one, he secretly used his judo to murder his fellow pupils out of bloodlust, with Hiroki being the last. The police took note of this incident and filed Masaki as "Boy M". Before they could find the culprit, however, Katsumasa Hayami took him under his wing as his pawn, leaving the trail to run cold.

* GroinAttack: '''Holy fuck''', Muteba ''mutilated'' this man's groin when the EyeScream and EarArche didn't do a thing to stop him. It's somehow even worse in the anime despite being less explicitly detailed because of the enormous flow of blood spreading into Masaki's gi from his groin.

** His match against Okubo in ''Omega'' gives him a unique opportunity to perform the famous but situational "Shining Wizard" strike invented by Wrestling/KeijiMutoh.

** After failing to deal with [[spoiler: The Other Niko Tokita, he makes a very good move on warning Idemitsu to not send any assiliants to him noting the casuality rate is too high.]]

* TheDreaded: By ''Omega'' both the audience and fighters aware of his reputation are uneasy of him. Not just for his torture of Cosmo in the Annihilation Tournament but also because he got suspended after nearly murdering Murobuchi.

** Even extends to other fighters, with Kaneda and Muteba (one of his opponents) expressing their admiration for him. Even ''Metsudo Katahara himself'' is a huge wrestling fan.

* CreepyCute: InUniverse. When he finally reveals his face, Matsuda and Sawada express shock at how cute he is.

* CreepyShadowedUndereyes

* TheClan: Part of the Inaba family of assassins, one of three such clans participating in the Kengan Annihilation tournament.
