----

!!Skull Bozu
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Skullbose_9061.jpg
* TheDragon: Technically, he works for Sheik Seijin. Actually, he's the main villain of the American Tour arc.
* ManipulativeBastard: Even his ''boss'' is frightened at Skull's plans.
* SpikesofVillainy: Can grow spikes all over his body, except his head.

!!Sheik Seijin
* BeardOfEvil
* {{Expy}}: Of Ed "The Sheik" Farhat.
* NamesTheSame: A kaiju with the same name appeared much earlier on.

!!Devil Magician
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Devilmagician_6192.gif
* KnifeNut: Has a knife hidden in his left arm.
* NumberTwoGuy: To Skull Bozu.
* OffWithHisHead: Does this to a superhero to enter the World Choujin Federation.

!!Beauty Rhodes
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Rhodes_5923.jpg
* {{Expy}}: Of "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes
* WorfEffect: Dispite his title as World Choujin Council Champion, he gets beaten pretty quickly by Kinnikuman, and then Skull Bozu.
!!Edith Harrison
* OneOfTheGuys: Showers with the wrestlers in her fed; none of them even blink.
* RichBitch: Head of the WCC, and ''extremely'' conceited about it.
!!God von Elric
* {{Badass}} Halted the brawl between the American Choujin world's factions with his presence alone.
* {{Expy}}: Of Fritz Von Erich

!!Jean/John Steamboard
* BlindIdiotTranslation[=/=]GratuitousEnglish: His name in Japanese is spelled ジャンヌ (''Jannu''). This makes no sense, since Jean or John can be spelled with ジャン (''Jan''). It's possible his name was supposed to be Johnny Steamboard (which better fits the Ricky Steamboat [[ShoutOut reference]]), in which case his name should have been spelled ジャンニ (''Janni'').
* {{Expy}}: Of Ricky Steamboat
* HeelFaceTurn

!Brutal Choujin

!!Kazuo Nakano
* CanonImmigrant: The anime makes him a commentator. This actually happens in KinnikumanNisei
* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: He even calls himself Kazuo of the Wig.
* RecurringExtra

!!Mari Nikaido
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She never was officially PutOnABus in the original series, but in Nisei, she said that she left Japan to study overseas because she felt overshadowed by Bibinba.
** TheBusCameBack: In ''Nisei'', we meet an OlderAndWiser Mari who is also the adoptive mother of Rinko, Mantarou's love interest.
* CompositeCharacter: She got a lot of Bibinba's characteristics from the manga in the anime (because the latter never even ''appeared'' in the anime until the very end), as well as her own characteristics from the manga.
* HotTeacher: Was a kindergarten teacher.
%% * ShallowLoveInterest
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B. She seems to be a patient and sweet girl, but she's got quite a fast temper when provoked.

!!Natsuko Shouno
* ClingyJealousGirl: She won't allow anyone to lay a hand on Terryman. Not even [[HoYay Kazuo]].
%% * FieryRedhead
%% * HotScoop ''and'' IntrepidReporter
%% * KansaiRegionalAccent
* MoralityPet: For Warsman, at first. She was the first person to call him out on his ruthless behavior, which slowly started to get through...
%% * MsFanservice
%% * NiceHat

!!Horumon Bibinba
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Why she fell for Kinnikuman.
* CharacterDevelopment: It's interesting how time has treated Bibinba. Before the original series was completed, there was absolutely nothing that Kin could do to make her reconsider becoming his wife - she was the one girl that the CasanovaWannabe couldn't disgust. In fact, Bibinba was probably the person that respected him the most as she addressed him as "Suguru-sama".Now, in Nisei, we see that 28 years of putting up with Suguru's bad habits and constantly having to remind him that he's not the Kinnikuman that he used to be have clearly worn her out, but she still shows that she loves him, with or without muscles.
* {{Chickification}}: Parodied.
* ModestRoyalty: It's easy to forget that she's the princess of the Horumon tribe.

!!Kinniku Ataru / [[spoiler: Kinnikuman Soldier II]]
* {{Badass}}: His match with Kinnikuman Super Phoenix is a very good reason '''not''' to underestimate him. Hell, he might have defeated him if [[spoiler:Mammothman]] never interfered.
* [[spoiler: BecomingTheMask: In KinnikumanNisei, he keeps his Soldier Costume]]
* [[spoiler: CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: His Soldier identity]]
%% * KnightTemplarBigBrother
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: His response to the incredibly spartan lifestyle being the Prince required.

!!Jesse/Jessie Maivia
* {{Bishonen}}
* CripplingOverspecialization: He can reverse any move with ease. Pulling off his own moves...not so much. [[spoiler:In fact, it lead to his defeat when Maivia attempts to go on the offensive against Kinnikuman.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of "High Chief" Peter Maivia (Grandfather of [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]])
!!Doros Phlears
* DaChief: To the Choujin in the World Choujin Association.
* {{Expy}}: stated to be a parody of Lord Blears on the Kinnikuman Wiki.

!!Kinkotsuman ([[DubNameChange Skullduggery in US]])
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/220px-Skullduggery_kinnikuman_8006.jpg
* AbusiveParent: Played depressingly straight. In Nisei, it was revealed that whenever Kinkotsuman wasn't watching the Justice Choujin fight again the villains of the arc, he was venting his frustrations at his failures on his son, Bone Cold (who was very timid at this time). Said way to vent was to put Bone Cold through harsh training, which caused much resentment towards him.
** BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The training ensured that Bone Cold became a lethally competent fighter, a sadistic assassin in the underground and he hated Kinkotsuman with every fibre of his being. He also [[spoiler: killed Meat's father after mocking how the fact how they abandoned him]]
*** TheAtoner: He feels very guilty of what he did and tries to make amends, but Bone tells him it's a little late to do that.
* BigBadWannabe: You'd have to be pretty weak to have to rely on guns and giant monsters instead of using wrestling moves in this universe. Despite being a ArchNemesis to Suguru, he's no where in the same league as most of the villains, let alone BigBad leaders like Akuma and Super Phoenix.
* DemBones: To Kinnikuman's muscles.
* EvilCounterpart: As much as a villain as Kinnikuman was a hero.
* FacialMarkings: Has the kanji 骨 (''kotsu''), meaning "bone," on his forehead.
* FinishingMove: He had none in the actual series, but in the video games he had the Shooting Lucky Strike, which was just to simply shoot the opponent with a blade, much like his son's finisher.
* MadScientist: Has created a plethora of gadgets to use against Kinnikuman, as well as the Black Shadow robot.
* MeaningfulName: "''Kinkotsu''" means "bone and sinew," or, roughly, "skin and bones," the [[EvilCounterpart opposite of]] ''kinniku''.
* [[SecretlyWealthy Secretly]] [[ModestRoyalty Royalty]]: It's easy to forget that he's a prince just like Kinnikuman.
* VillainDecay / VillainForgotToLevelGrind: started out fairly menacing, but as Kinnikuman and the series got more serious, he, well, ''didn't''.

!!Iwao
* ButtMonkey: Makes Kinkotsuman look competent, thus is even more of a loser than him
* ServileSnarker: Being Kinkotsuman's sidekick doesn't stop him from making an occasion jab at his boss.

!Seven Devil Choujin

!!Stecase King
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/180px-Stecasseking_633.jpg
* DittoFighter
* FinishingMove: Thanks to being a DittoFighter he can use the finishing move of anyone he's taped. His own finishers are Hell's Symphony and Symphony of the Devil. He created the latter on the spot in his fight against Kinnikuman, after he realized that Kin's mask acted as a sound barrier.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Marui Kasetto Dai Henshin".
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: His name is a portmanteau of stereo and cassette, so use those words as a pronunciation guide. Alternatively, one could think of his name as Stécasé.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Ultimately loses his fight when he uses a tape of Kinnikuman...from three years prior, mainly, his HeroWithBadPublicity days.
** Seven years later, he suffers from the same, for different reasons: [[spoiler: He ends up using Warsman's Palo Special on Turboman, which lets him activate Ground Unit and transfer the damage to him, eventually killing him.]]
* LoudOfWar: His own finishers are definitely this.
* WakeUpCallBoss: He was the weakest of the Devil Choujin but he still gave Kinnikuman a run for his money.

!Black Hole
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Black_Hole_Kinnikuman_5715.jpg

* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler: He pokes Jack Tea's eyes, and [[GroinAttack kicks his groin]] immediately after. Buffaloman and Springman justify his actions, being true to the nature of a Devil Choujin.]]
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: In his fight, he knew better than to go easy on Kinnikuman because he's winning, due to being an avid reader of the manga. For a non-Fourth Wall Breaking example in that same fight, he convinced Kinnikuman that he had given him an advantage by making sure that the ring was surrounded by a solar panel. In reality, it was Black Hole who had the advantage because the light from the sun would allow him to manipulate the shadows formed.
** In his fight against Dalmatiman, [[spoiler: he beats him by baiting him into his finisher using a bone-shaped dent he made on his own back.]]
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin:
--->"So why do have a hole in my face?
--->Read my name, Black Hole!"
* TheFaceless: Literally has no face.
* [[spoiler: Finishing Move: Four Dimension Kill]]
* GravitySucks: His name ''is'' Black Hole''.
* HumanoidAbomination: The guy can create ''black holes''.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Bermuda Mystery"
* LivingShadow: Becomes this during his fight against Kinnikuman.
* SquishyWizard: Sort of. The guy can create black holes and manipulate shadows, but an elbow drop was all Kinnikuman needed to defeat him.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He was supposed to have been the leader of the Seven Devils.
!!Mr. Khamen
* FinishingMove: "Mummy Package", probably the most disturbing finisher in the whole series.
* ImAHumanitarian: Takes a bite out of Brocken Jr's shoulder, and later tries to suck out his innards.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Farao no Noroi" ("The Pharaoh's Curse")
!!The Mountain
* BoringYetPractical: The 2012 sequel shows Mountain doing Judo moves.
* Disney Villain Death: Tries to take Terryman with him when he dies, but he falls this way.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's a mountain peak with arms and legs.
* FinishingMove: "Mountain Drop", which is...just a body slam. But hey, who needs flashiness when you're ''literally'' a mountain?
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Jigoku no Sanmyaku" ("Mountains from Hell")
* MightyGlacier: Well, with a name like ''The Mountain'', what did you expect?
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: Invokes this when Brocken Jr and Geronimo try to use Mongolman's spirit world door to help the Muscle Bros. fight the Devil Choujin spirits Sunshine and Ashuraman summon, similar to what happened during the Kinnikuman-Atlantis match. Mountain kicks them both out.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: While it's romanized as "The Mountain", the name's actually written in Kanji, reading MaUnTen (which is the Japanese spelling for "Mountain")
!!Atlantis
* FinishingMove: Atlantis Driver, [[spoiler: Tower Bridge]]
* HighPressureBlood: His "Mount St. Helen's Eruption". It involves grabbing the opponent and drawing all the blood out of them from their wounds, in a way similar to how Mount St. Helens erupts.
* MakingASplash: He can control water, no matter what form it's in. He's basically the original Waterbender.
!!Springman
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Like The Mountain, he's arms and legs stuck onto a spring.
* FacialMarkings: Has an S on his "forehead."
* FanNickname: Slinky.
* HeelFaceTurn: During the intervening years.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: You look at him and go, "Oh, look, a slinky-person." Then he uses his coils to ''kill Wolfman''.
!!Buffaloman
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Developed a counter for the Kinniku Buster before his match with Kinnikuman.
* BaldOfEvil / BaldOfAwesome: Don't let the hair fool you...that's a wig.
* BadassBeard: Once he got older
* DealWithTheDevil: Literally.
* FinishingMove: Hurricane Mixer, Choujin Cross Slam
* GoodScarsEvilScars: One of the strangest plays on the trope ever.
* HeelFaceTurn: Became a stern teacher in KinnikumanNisei, as well as a core member of the Muscle League.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Akuma no Mougyuu" ("Devil Buffalo"). Oddly enough, this is still his ImageSong ''after'' his HeelFaceTurn.
* UnskilledButStrong: His schtick before his turn. He believed that enough power can overturn any technique.

!Devil Knights
!!Sneagator ([[DubNameChange Shocodile in US]])
* EvilOldFolks: In Nisei. He's the one that taught [=MAXman=] everything he knew in regards to transforming.
** That was his son, Sneagator Jr., using a book of techniques written by Sneagator.
* GenerationXerox: Played with. His son, Sneagator Jr., looks just like his humanoid reptile form, but was weak and sickly. His grandson, [=MAXman=] ([[DubNameChange The Pumpinator]]), looks pretty much like a normal human and only turns into a shoe.
* MeaningfulName: Yes, he is a sneaker-alligator hybrid. Who wears sneakers. And can transform into one.
* TakingYouWithMe: Tries to do this after Kinnikuman kills him. He succeeds, but it's eventually all for naught thanks to Wolfman's HeroicSacrifice.
!!Planetman
* FinishingMove: Grand Cross
* HollywoodVoodoo: When the fight against Kinnikuman goes bad, he links the planets on his body with Kin's loved ones. He almost gets away with it, but Warsman offers to take a hit.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He gets [[OffWithHisHead decapitated by his own Planet Ring technique]] and then thrown into the same hole he made to his demise.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Kyoufu no Wakusei Balkan" ("The Dreaded Planet Vulcan")
!!Junkman
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may have a really mundane character design, but he nearly killed Robin Mask.
* GarbageWrestler: If the name is any indication...
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How he fights, mostly.
!!The Ninja ([[DubNameChange Ninja Ned in US]])
* FinishingMove: Binding Spider Web and the Waterfowl Feather Ring Jutsu
* HeelFaceTurn: He's the AloofAlly of the group, and one of the few to take training even in times of peace.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Japanese Magic"
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: By Hanzo in [[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]].]]
* {{Ninja}}: [[CaptainObvious It's true, I swear!]]
* TheObiWan: To Kokumo and [[spoiler: Hanzo]] in Nisei.
* TheWorfEffect: Despite being a former Devil Knight, he gets beaten by Brocken Jr., Satan Cross and [[spoiler:Hanzo]].
!!Sunshine
* DentedIron: The intervening years haven't been kind to him either. He's noticeably thinner in the sequel, not to mention the fact that he now wears an eyepatch.
* FinishingMove: Hell D' Tour Arc([[DubNameChange Blockin' Rockin' in US]]), Cursed Roller
* FluffyTheTerrible: Come on. You can't really say that you expected him to be a golem with a name like Sunshine, can you?
* [[LoveMakesYouEvil Friendship Makes You Evil]]: He says that the reason why he went back to being evil was because it was the only time he had friends.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Sand Monster"
* LightIsNotGood
* EvilMentor[=/=]TheObiWan: To Checkmate and Rex King
* ShoutOut: He's one to the Sunshine 60 building in Tokyo.
!!Ashuraman ([[DubNameChange Shivano in US]])
* AdaptationDyeJob: Had a standard skin tone in the anime.
* AppendageAssimilation: Can use the limbs of Choujin he killed as replacements for any he's lost.
* AristocratsAreEvil: He's the son of the demon world's royal family.
* EvilLaugh[=/=]SignatureLaugh: Ka~ ka ka ka ka!
* FinishingMove: All variations of the Ashura Buster and the Izuna Drop.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Ashura no Jigoku" ("Ashura Hell")
* MultiarmedAndDangerous
* UsedToBeASweetKid: It's a shame that he had to be raised by parents like his...
!!Akuma Shogun ([[DubNameChange Rogue Shogun in US]])
* [[spoiler: AGodAmI: No, this time it's not bluster.]]
* AllYourPowersCombined: His body is made up of the rest of the Devil Knights. When he first appears, he claims to have Sunshine's power, Planetman's speed, The Ninja's technique, Sneagator's body, and Junkman's cruelty.
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: What kind of god would make one?]]
* FinishingMove: Hell's Guillotine
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "King of Devil"
* NighInvulnerable: Kinnikuman goes through ''hell'' trying to damage him.

!Perfect Choujin
!!Screw Kid
* FinishingMove: Four Point Screw Torture, ''Jigoku no Nejimawashi''/Hell's Screwdriver is his Tag finisher with Kendaman.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Kyoufu no Kaiten Drill" ("The Dreaded Spinning Drill")
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: His basic style. Kendaman adds his weight for increased pain.
* ThisIsADrill: This is his entire "thing": even his ImageSong revolves around this.
* VillainousBreakdown: He gets scared shitless once he and Kendaman lose to Mongolman and Buffaloman, due to the fact that losing a match as a Perfect Choujin is equivalent to the death penalty.

!!Kendaman ([[DubNameChange Mace in US]])
* EvilLaugh: Next to Ashuraman, his evil laugh is the most memorable. Mostly because his laugh sound like he's ''stuttering'' and that it's goddamn awesome.
* EpicFlail: His ''head''. No, seriously.
* FinishingMove: Kendaman Headbutt.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Kiken da Kiken da Kendaman" ("Danger! Danger! Kendaman!")
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The music for his ImageSong sounds like a slightly altered version of Screw Kid's.

!!Neptuneman
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Neptuneman_5776.jpg
* AdaptationDyeJob: His red vest was colored green in the anime. Also, Kinnikuman Generations ([[DubNameChange Galactic Wrestling Featuring Ultimate Muscle]]) gave his Kenkaman character brown hair, probably to keep him from looking exactly like HulkHogan.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: In their match Kinnikuman closes the Apollo Window, the phenomena that gives him(Neptuneman) and Big the Budo their MaskPower.]]
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: Neptuneman is this for Kenkaman ([[DubNameChange Street Scrapper in US]]). Later, he disguises himself as [[spoiler: The Samurai.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of HulkHogan
* FinishingMove: Quarrel Bomber, Double Leg Suplex, Cross Bomber (Tag), Mask The End (Tag), Optical Fiber Cross Bomber (Tag)
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He can't seem to stop switching sides in order to find a WorthyOpponent. In the years before the original series he was a good guy who made a FaceHeelTurn, then he makes a HeelFaceTurn after Kin and Terry defeat him and Big the Budo and he makes ''another'' FaceHeelTurn in Nisei.
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]: At the end of the Choujin Dream Tag arc.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Tukan no Meiou" ("Uncrowned Emperor")
* MaskPower: Literally, his mask gives him magnetic control.

!!Big The Budo ([[DubNameChange Big Budo in US]])
* [[spoiler:BigBad]]
* BrokenPedestal: Became this for Neptuneman. When he takes out an ''iron girder'' to use in their fight against Kinnikuman and Terryman, Neptuneman does not take it well.
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: Big the Budo is this for [[spoiler:Neptune King ([[DubNameChange King Neptune in US]]).]]
* FinishingMove: Megaton King Drop, Cross Bomber (Tag), Mask The End (Tag)
* LargeAndInCharge
* [[spoiler:ManBehindTheMan]]
* NighInvulnerable[=/=]NoSell: [[spoiler:It took THREE supreme attacks to finally defeat him.]]
!Five Fated Princes
!!Kinnikuman Mariposa
* FinishingMove: Aztec Drop, Phony Muscle Revenger.
* IHaveTheHighGround
* InASingleBound
* PlayingWithFire: Thanks to Anoa Staff he stole from the Robin family.
* RealMenWearPink
!!Kinnikuman Big Body
* CurbStompBattle: Super Phoenix beat him and his team in about 15 minutes.
* TokenGoodTeammate: he's the only one of the Five Fated Princes who didn't want to usurp Kinnikuman's throne.
!!Kinnikuman Zebra
* ExtremityExtremist: Averted. Despite specializing in boxing, he does have more attacks than punches.
* FinishingMove: Muscle Inferno, Saint Muscle Punch
* FriendOrIdolDecision: Was told that he could enter the Choujin world if he killed his childhood friend (and only friend), Zebra Kid.
* MoneyDearBoy: He even paid his teammates to fight for him.
* StartOfDarkness: Stopped believing in friendship after he chose to kill Zebra Kid and started believing that money was the only thing one needed to get by.
!!Kinnikuman Soldier
* [[spoiler: KilledOffscreen: Subverted. Ataru ''injured'' him offscreen, but he died during the Super Phoenix - Soldier match]]
!!Kinnikuman Super Phoenix
* DrivenByEnvy
* FanNickname: Super Douchebag.
* FinishingMove: Raging Ox and Muscle Revenger. Also Zebra's Muscle Inferno thanks to the God Of Flight giving him power.
* KickTheDog: He worked pretty hard to get his FanNickname. First he shows off in his match against Big Body by telling Mammothman to mess up on purpose and double KO Cannonballer so he can curbstomp Big Body himself, then he tries to kill both Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman Soldier in one go by using the collapsing ring, [[spoiler: starts burning the pages of the Muscle Prophecy that were related to Ataru]], then he [[spoiler:Insults Ataru for running away from home after killing him]], starts burning the pages of the Muscle Prophecy regarding the roles of members in Kinnikuman's team ''and'' his own team, [[HannibalLecture Hannibal Lectures]] Kinnikuman that he doesn't deserve to be the heir to the throne or have a nice girlfriend like Bibinba because he's not smart like he is and ultimately tries to kill Kin by [[spoiler: using the Muscle Revenger on one of the iron posts supporting the ring.]]
* NobleDemon: In a rare moment of nobility, he stalls the out of ring 20-count in order for Kin to save Bibinba.
* TheResenter
* VillainousBreakdown: In the anime, [[spoiler: his mother shows up ringside in the final to convince him to stop fighting because she's 100% sure that he's not the heir, said that the only reason he could use the face flash is because she bathed him in the royal baths of the Kinniku clan and finally says that she only told him about the hospital mix-up in order to cheer him up because he was so depressed about being poor.]] He handles it as well as you'd expect him to handle it.
!!Hawkman
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: His Spiral Bullet technique.
!!Mr. VTR
* RealityWarper: Can alter anything he tapes.
!!Mixer Tate
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: He's the second person to defeat Kinnikuman, but his victory is undercut by the fact that the Five Evil Gods helped him remove Kinnikuman's Burning Inner Strength, and Mr. VTR had to alter reality to get him out of a Kinniku Driver.
!!King 100 Ton
* LightningBruiser: He can make himself incredibly fast by taking off his weights.
* ShapeShifterSwanSong: How he meets his end.
!!Pinchman
!!Golemman
* OffWithHisHead: His fate when Mammothman decapitates him with Ghost Canvas.
!!Leopardon
* CurbStompBattle: The minute he enters the ring, Mammothman impales him with Nose Fencing.
!!Cannonballer
* ILetYouWin: The only reason this guy managed to tie against [[PsychoForHire Mammothman]] was because the latter ''let him''.
!!Manriki
!!Motorman
* ShockAndAwe
* StatusBuff: His main role in Team Zebra is to power up Bikeman.
!!Bikeman
!!Parthenon
* FaceHeelTurn: Can force this upon other people. Any Choujin who steps into his shadow becomes more Heel than Face.
!!Mammothman
* AnIcePerson: Ice Rock Gyro.
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: [[spoiler:In [[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]], as Hell's Bear Micheal]]
* GeniusBruiser
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's been alive since the last Ice Age.
!!Satan Cross
* FinishingMove: Triangle Dreamer
* [[spoiler: NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He saved Ashuraman's life as a child...but lost his legs and became the Evil Gods' slave as a result.]]
!!Prismman
* FinishingMove: Rainbow Shower that can kill any Choujin, including his own captain.
* GlassCannon: Literally.
!!Omegaman
* GoneHorriblyRight: He channels Kamehame's ghost in order to defeat Kinnikuman's techniques, which Kamehame taught. However, he doesn't count on the channeling working ''too'' well...[[spoiler:and helps Kinnikuman by teaching him his 52 submissions.]]

* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Wins a match against Kinnikuman within seconds, just after the latter's victory in the Choujin Olympics.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Tetsujin Kamehame" (Iron Man Kamehame), "Idai na Tamashii" ("A Great Soul") as Kinnikuman Great I
* KilledOffForReal: Out of all of the Choujin, he is the only one that doesn't come back to life. Justified, as he was pretty old at the time, and probably would have died of old age sooner or later.

!!Kinnikuman AKA Prince [[spoiler:(later King)]] Kinniku Suguru ([[DubNameChange King Muscle in US]])
-->''"I won't even need the push from my farts!"''

-->'''Voiced by:''' AkiraKamiya (original series), ToshioFurukawa ([[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]]), EricStuart ([[UltimateMuscle dub]])

* AntiHero: Was a Type I at first, but grew out of it.
* BirthmarkOfDestiny: The "KIN" mark, located on his left butt-cheek.
* BumblingDad: In the sequel, he's become this to the point that Mantarou doesn't fear or respect him at all.
* {{Badass}}: {{Determinator}} aside he becomes this, especially after the GenreShift and TrainingFromHell from Kamehameha, the first thing he does after training was toby send a choujin through the moon '''and complained that it got in the way''', intending him to head straight to Pluto.
* ButtMonkey:
--->''"Why does this always happen to me? Dammit!"''
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: Channelman
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: When not fighting, he's an idiot who farts around all day (literally!) and can't even tie his shoes. In the ring, Kinnikumanis a master tactician, a Determinator, and a nearly-unstoppable powerhouse.
* DentedIron: Becomes this in the sequel. All of those years of performing those explosive moves did not fare well for his body in the intervening years, whether he wants to admit it or not.
---> '''Bibinba:''' ''"Look at you now! All those battles left you with bad knees, herniated discs, not to mention poor eyesight and hemorrhoids! King Muscle? More like King Gristle!"''
* {{Determinator}}: His Burning Inner Strength essentially requires him to be one.
* DistaffCounterpart: Has one in the form of Kinnikuman Lady. As mentioned on the main page, it could be considered a subversion, as Lady Kin is much nicer than Kinnikuman and unlike Kin she's not a total idiot; just spacey at some times.
* ExpressiveMask: So much so that it was years before it was revealed he was even wearing a mask.
* FacialMarkings: Technically it's on his mask, but the kanji 肉 (''niku''), meaning "meat" (and part of ''kinniku'', meaning "muscle"), is on his forehead.
* {{Fartillery}}: Not only would he use farts as a weapon, he would also use them to fly.
** BringMyBrownPants: His bowels would break down so frequently that at one point Meat was considering bringing extra underwear for him.
* FinishingMove: Kinniku Beam (during the monster-hunting days), Kinniku Buster, Kinniku Driver, and the Muscle Spark.
* FiveMovesOfDoom: The [=FuuRinKaZan=], four moves chained together.
* {{Gonk}}: Played with, as originally his bald, ugly mask passed as his real face, and his body was nowhere as fit. Then we start to get hints that his true face could be ''way'' different than his mask and the final volume reveals that Kin's real face is very gentle and ''very'' handsome.
* HenpeckedHusband: In the sequel.
%% * HotBlooded
* HumanAliens: So much so that Suguru didn't believe he was an alien.
* IdiotHero: Back when Goku didn't exist in media, Kinnikuman was the biggest example.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Moeru Champion Kinnikuman" (Burning Champion Kinnikuman)
* JapanesePronouns: ''Ore'', but he occasionally uses ''boku''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Normally a bumbling coward, when he finally decides to fight he gives it his all.
* LovableCoward: Initially. Probably the first thing that would click to someone about him was how willing he was to run away from any villain that looked threatening.
* MeaningfulName: "''Kinniku''" means "muscle."
* ParentalAbandonment: Was confused for a pig when his family was visiting Earth and was thrown out with the trash.
* PowerUpFood: Garlic in the early days allowed him to grow to [[{{Kaiju}} kaiju]] size, gave him super strength, and enabled his [[{{Fartillery}} fart attacks]], among other things.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: In fact, he hates his royal duties.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In Japanese the name Kinniku is written as キン肉 rather than the two kanji that make the word "muscle" (筋肉).
* UnderwearOfPower: Usually only wore trunks and boots in and out of the ring.
* WeakButSkilled: In Nisei he shows that he can still pull off submission moves at his age. He even pulled off the Choujin Kousatsu Kei against Mantarou.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Kin just can't stand milk.
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that milk can reduce the effect of herbs and spices (specifically the burning sensation). Since Suguru was [[PowerUpFood powered by garlic]] in those days, the milk canceled the garlic out.

---> '''Voiced by:''' MinoriMatsushima(original series), KonamiYoshida([[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]]), MikePollock(UltimateMuscle dub)
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: In the only match he took part in, he managed to use moves from several other Choujin by just recalling them from his memory.
* BadassAdorable: Arguably.
* FacialMarkings: Has the hirigana characters にく (''niku''), meaning "meat," on his forehead.
* FanNickname: Almost always referred to Suguru as Ouji ("prince") and Mantarou as Nisei ("the second" or "junior").
* HumanAliens: Just like Kinnikuman, few even know he is an alien.
* HumanPopsicle: It was revealed in Nisei that he willingly became this in order to preserve his mind.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Meatball no Meat-kun"(original series), "Meat ni Omakase"(Nisei)
* JapanesePronouns: ''Boku''.
%% * KidHero
* MorphicResonance: [[RunningGag He tends to physically berate]] [[KinnikumanNisei Mantarou]] by turning into a popular wrestler (such as GiantBaba or HulkHogan) and performing that wrestler's trademark move. However, he always retains his square glasses and sometimes his height.
* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Somewhat averted. By the Throne arc he's 14, but he didn't grow a single inch.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He's usually the one to stop Suguru from fooling around, but sometimes he'll join in on the fun.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Yes, you're reading this right. It's true that Meat's a child, but could you really tell from his height that he's ''fourteen'' years old?
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: If it wasn't for the fact that his age was stated in the manga, it would be quite easy to think that he was just a really short adult.
** His voice in the [[KinnikumanNisei Ultimate Muscle]] US dub doesn't help things.

!!King Kinniku Mayumi ([[DubNameChange Grandpa in US]])
* AbusiveParent: PlayedForLaughs. He's a good person, just not a very good parent.
* BumblingDad: Apparently it runs in the family.
* FacialMarkings: Has the kanji 王 (''Oh''), meaning "king," on his forehead.
* FridgeLogic:[[invoked]] Mayumi often complains about how stupid-looking Suguru's face is. Mayumi seems to forget that he picked out Suguru's mask in the first place.

!!Terryman
---> ''"Come to think of it, I've heard of this..."''

---> '''Voiced by:''' HideyukiTanaka (original series, [[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]]), TedLewis ([[UltimateMuscle dub]])
* AllAmericanFace: Probably the most well known example of this in Anime.
%% * AmericansAreCowboys
%% * {{Badass}}
* BerserkButton: Insulting the Justice Choujin is one for all of them in general, but it's probably the biggest one for Terryman.
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: Kinnikuman Great II ([[DubNameChange Lord Wrangler in US)]]
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his first appearance he was a Type 2 Eaglelander instead of a Type 1.
* DistaffCounterpart: Terrygirl is his counterpart. Just like Kin, it's possible that this can be considered a subversion because his counterpart is wilder and much easier to anger than he is.
* {{Eagleland}}: Type 1.
* {{Expy}}: Of Terry Funk.
* FacialMarkings: Usually confused for an asterisk, he has the kanji for America (米) on his forehead.
* FinishingMove: Texas Clover Hold, Spinning Toe Hold, Calf Branding.
* HandicappedBadass: Thanks to Kinkotsuman's failed attempt at killing Kinnikuman, Terryman got shot in the leg, which eventually had to be amputated.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Texas Bronco"
* JapanesePronouns: ''Mii'', the usual pronoun used by someone of {{Eagleland}} status.
* RedOniBlueOni: With Kinnikuman.
* UnderwearOfPower: Wrestled in trunks, boots, and gloves.
* WeakButSkilled: He admits that he's not a powerhouse, but he easily matches Robin Mask in terms of skill and technique.
* WhatTheHellHero: Was berated by Kinnikuman for refusing to fight monsters for free back in the monster-fighting days.

!!Robin Mask
--->'''Voiced by:''' DaisukeGouri(original series, [[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]]), DanGreen (UltimateMuscle dub)
* AbusiveParent: In [[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]] he pushed his son Kevin so hard in training and studying that Kevin ran away and became at best an AntiHero and at worst an AntiVillain.
** The fact that he doesn't seem to be bothered by this doesn't really help matters.
*** To be fair, it's implied that Robin simply raised Kevin the way he'd been raised by his father. During his fight with Mariposa, Robin mentions he was "...Scolded... by my father that night." when the family staff was stolen.
* TheAce: Generally considered as this by the Justice Choujin.
* AdaptationDyeJob: The anime turned his silver armor into dark blue/black and had him wearing blueish-purple "undershirt" underneath, making him appear to have blue skin.
* {{Badass}}
* {{Bishonen}}: The anime shows Robin without his mask and he is quite the looker.
* BecomingTheMask: Back in the 20th Choujin Olympics, his trainer explicitly stated that he just pretended to be a gentlemen to hide the wild demeanor he had. Eventually, he did start to actually be one.
* BigBrotherMentor: Despite being just a few years older than everyone, he's still considered this by many of the Justice Choujin.
* BrokenPedestal: When people saw his true self in his match against Kinnikuman in the 20th Choujin Olympics they were absolutely horrified.
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: [[spoiler: Mr. Barracuda, Warsman's trainer.]]
* CulturedBadass
* Disney Death: He gets this two times in the series.
* EasilyForgiven: It isn't as talked about as much when compared to characters like Kinkotsuman, but Robin also tried to kill Kinnikuman ''multiple times'', the difference being that Robin was '''much''' better at doing so and '''''a lot''''' closer to doing so.
* {{Expy}}: of Billy Robinson.
* FallenHero: In the American Tag Team arc.
* FinishingMove: The Tower Bridge and the Robin Special[[spoiler:s]].
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Up until the Seven Devil Choujin arc.
* HandicappedBadass: See below.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Nijiro No Kishi"(Rainbow Colored Knight)
* JapanesePronouns: ''Watashi.''
* KnightInShiningArmor: To the point where he has actual knight armor.
** TheFettered: The armor isn't used as protection, but as a ''PowerLimiter''.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His voice was a SeanConnery impression in the US dub of [[KinnikumanNisei Ultimate Muscle]].
* TrainingFromHell: Usually what he uses to train [[KinnikumanNisei the new generation.]]
* UnexplainedRecovery: Was stated to never fight in the ring again after his match against Kinnikuman in the American Tag Team arc, but by the Seven Devil Choujin arc he was perfectly fine.

!!Ramenman

* AscendedMeme: Was the first person to coin the term Kajiba no Kuso Djikara (Burning Inner Strength).
%% * {{Badass}}
* BanjoGinga: Yes, he did voice Ramenman, but it was only for a few episodes and two of the TV movies.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: When he was introduced in the 20th Choujin Olympics, he was basically a noodle-eating psychopath who described blood as ''tasty''.
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: [[spoiler:Mongolman ([[DubNameChange Lomienman in US)]]]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Had elements of his in the time between the 20th and 21st Choujin Olympics.
* FacialMarkings: Has the kanji for China (中) on his forehead.
* FinishingMove: Camel Clutch, Kowloon Sen Drop, Leg Lariat
* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Had his brain punctured by Warsman, leaving him in a vegetative state unless he covers the wounds with a special material. [[UnexplainedRecovery It's never revealed how he got over it]] for the sequel.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: Was introduced as a Brutal Choujin, but turned to Justice after his match against Kinnikuman in the 20th Choujin Olympics.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Kung Fu Fighter", [[spoiler: "Asia no Ookami" (Asian Wolf) as Mongolman]]
* ImAHumanitarian: In the anime, instead of ripping Brockenman in half with his camel clutch, he instead ''makes noodles out of his body and eats him''.
* ManlyTears: After coming in fourth in the first Choujin Olympics (via purposely disqualifying himself in his third place match against Terryman), he tearfully begs Kinnikuman to defeat Robin Mask in order to win the tournament and make the battle they had fought something he could be proud of. In the manga, he cried TearsOfBlood.
* MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours: After all, Ramenman has "[[CatchPhrase 10,000 years of Chinese history]]" on his side.
* NoodlePeople: He believed in this back when he was a Brutal Choujin. By that, we mean that he believed that ''people are noodles''.
---> ''"Noodles are people, people are noodles!"''
* TheObiWan: To Mantarou at the start of [[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]]. Ramenman even uses a [[ShoutOut small, flying]], [[StarWars spherical robot]] to train him.
* StereotypesOfChinesePeople
* YouNoTakeCandle: In the anime, he spoke like this when he was a Brutal Choujin, which had the UnfortunateImplication of fans assuming that he was much stupider than he really is. The truth is that it's actually the Japanese [[NationalStereotypes stereotype]] of how Chinese people speak Japanese.

!!Canadianman ([[DubNameChange Manitoban in US)]]
* ButtMonkey: Never had much luck in the series.
* CanadaEh: [[CaptainObvious No, really.]]
* ExpressiveMask: [[{{Squick}} Unless the white parts are his skin.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners[=/=]ThoseTwoGuys: With Specialman.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Has suddenly become a jerk in the [[KinnikumanNisei latest story arc.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: He's an unfortunate case. He can match even Kinnikuman and Robin Mask in terms of strength and brute force. Problem is, the wrestling world is moving from a time where powerful people like him would rule the circuit to a time where one needs strength and at least ''some'' technique to be a good wrestler.
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Or your entire body, in this case.

!!Specialman
* ButtMonkey
* {{Eagleland}}
* ExpressiveMask
* FacialMarkings: His is...just an S.
* FlatCharacter: Doesn't really get much character development other than being "[[AndZoidberg The other American representative besides Terryman and Pentagon.]]"
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Canadianman.
** ThoseTwoGuys: Also with Canadianman.
* KenichiOno

!!Brocken Jr.

--->'''Voiced by:''' Tetsuo Mizutori(original series), Kawazu Yasuhiko([[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]]), Wayne Grayson ([[UltimateMuscle dub]])

* AdaptationDyeJob: His green uniform was turned black for the anime. Also, his skin was made white (or really pale).
* TheAlcoholic: In the intervening time between Nisei and the original series, he becomes this.
* AvengingTheVillain: His main reason of entering the 21st Choujin Olympics was to avenge his father's death at the hands of Ramenman.
* BadassAbnormal: See CharlesAtlasSuperpower.
* [[BannedInChina Banned in France]]: The fact that Brocken Jr. was a good Nazi kept the show from airing in France.
** When the figures were brought to the US as M.U.S.C.L.E., Brockenman's and Brocken Jr.'s were removed from the lineup.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: A really weird subversion. In the Throne Arc it was revealed that the Brocken family are born as humans and then are subjected to extremely harsh training. Once they make it through the training alive, they are given a skull insignia that gives them the power to become Choujin.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Yes, he wears a Nazi uniform, but just look at the way the guy acts throughout the series and just try to say that he displays Nazi-like behavior.
* FinishingMove: ''Berurin no Akai Ame''[=/=]The Red Rain of Berlin ([[DubNameChange renamed The Red Rain Of Pain in US]])
** ''Burokken no Kikan''/Brocken's Repatriation - Like the Red Rain of Berlin, only now Brocken has a blade appear in his leg. Developed as a result of the TimeyWimeyBall.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: It's the same name as his finishing move.
* InformedAbility: An early chapter had listed him as an up and coming power in the Choujin world. The thing is that he never had much wins (or battles) to prove this claim.
* KillItWithFire: In [[KinnikumanNisei the sequel]], he states that his FinishingMove is incomplete and that Jade's version of the move (which is to also have your hand be engulfed in flames as well as having a blade protrude from your hand) is the true version.
* MementoMacGuffin: The skull insignia on his cap is a reminder for the harsh training he endured as a youth.
* TheObiWan: To Jade
* PuttingOnTheReich
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Brocken or Blocken? Japanese media has used both when spelling his name in English.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Completely subverted. Brocken Jr. dresses like a Nazi, but doesn't hold any of their beliefs.
* TimeyWimeyBall: In the [[KinnikumanNisei latest story arc]] he lost his hand in a fight in the past. Now in the present he has a hook for a hand, which in turn rewrote how he trained Jade.
* TrainingFromHell: Has used the exact expression when referring to how he trained Jade.
* WeakButSkilled

!!Warsman
---> ''"Ko~Ho~..."''

---> '''Voiced by:''' Ryoichi Tanaka [[hottip:*:eps. 47-58 and TV Special]] and HideyukiHori [[hottip:*:eps. 59~ and all movies]] (original series), HideyukiTanaka ([[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]]), MaddieBlaustein ([[UltimateMuscle dub]])

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: One of the perks to having an electronic brain.
* Badass
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: Twice in [[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]]: [[spoiler:Kuroé/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Chloe]]/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Cloé]] ([[DubNameChange Lord Flash in US]]) during the Choujin Olympics Revival, and then Hell's Bear Belmond during the time travel arc.]]
* FinishingMove: Screwdriver/Double Screwdriver, Palo Special, Storm Elbow
* HeelFaceTurn: After his fight with Kinnikuman.
* HollywoodCyborg
* HuskyRusskie: Pretty much subverted. He's incredibly intelligent (being a living computer and all) and he's not even close to being the most muscular character.
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Kanashimi No Bear Claw" ("Bear Claws of Sorrow")
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong
* TheObiWan: [[spoiler:To Kevin Mask]]
* TheReveal: Seems fond of these.
* RussianGuySuffersMost: The writers sure like dumping on Warsman, don't they?
* SlasherSmile: The only expression that appears on his mask, and it's [[NightmareFuel damn scary!]] [[FanNickname Fans call it the "creepy smile"]] for a reason.
* ShoutOut: His real name is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Volkoff Nikolai Volkoff]].
* VaderBreath: [[FanNickname AKA "creepy breath.'']]
* TheVoiceless: Never talked until after his match with Kinnikuman.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The man may have been a literal killing machine before his HeelFaceTurn, but his life was an absolute hell when he was growing up because of his cyborg heritage. He even states that he turned to wrestling because it was ''the only way he could fight back''.

!!Geronimo ([[DubNameChange Beetlebomb in US]])

---> ''"Urara~!"''

--->'''Voiced by:''' KanetoShiozawa (original series), Ohba Mahito ([[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]]), EricStuart ([[UltimateMuscle dub]])

* AnAxeToGrind: He's almost always shown wielding tomahawks. Not that he uses them in battle...
* AscendedFanboy: Strove to become a Choujin because one saved his life as a child.
* BadassNormal: He was shown to be pretty badass by saving the Seigi Choujin from having their life force drained by Akuma Shogun, going toe-to-toe with Sunshine and ''winning'' and saving the Seigi Choujin ''again'' from being trapped inside of Warsman's body.
** BadassAbnormal: And that's all before his ascension to Chojin.
* {{Bowdlerization}}[=/=]BlindIdiotTranslation[=/=]CutAndPasteTranslation: His character was completely changed in the US from a Native American to a British man with a bad [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Ringo Starr impression]] for a voice. His attack names in the US-released games remained the same, making things even more absurd.
* CameBackWrong: Because he was a normal human at the time, he was comatose after the Perfect Mask revived all Choujin. Terryman fixed it by helping him become a Choujin.
* {{Determinator}}: Manually restarted his heart. By ''forcing it to pump''. '''''WITH HIS HAND.'''''
** '''''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome And went on to WIN the fight!]]'''''
* FinishingMove: Tomahawk Chop Tempest, Apache War Cry ([[DubNameChange Apache Yell in US]], Wild War Cry in Throne Arc), Apache Death Yell (Nisei)
* ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Tamashii no Otakebi" ("War Cry From The Soul")
* MagicalNativeAmerican: Sort of. He's a Native American who's a Choujin, so this probably counts. Also, one of these helped him become a Choujin.
* MakeMeWannaShout: His Apache War Cry and later his Apache Death Yell.
* TookALevelInBadass: His ascension from human to Choujin.

!!Wolfman (Rikishiman in the anime; [[DubNameChange Sosumi in US]])

--->'''Voiced by:''' MasashiHirose, DaisukeGouri (episodes 98 & 100), Yasuhiko Kawazu (Scramble for the Throne), Yuki Sato([[KinnikumanNisei Nisei]]), DanGreen ([[UltimateMuscle dub]])

* DeathIsCheap: Has died three times throughout the series.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: He originally despised Kin before he was beaten by him in their match in the 21st Choujin Olympics.
* HeroicSacrifice: Pulled one to bring Kinnikuman back to life in the Golden Mask arc.
* HypocriticalHumor[=/=]{{Irony}}: In his big introduction before the 21st Choujin Olympics, he said that he's the real "Muscleman" and that Kinnikuman should change his name to Flabbyman. Seeing as Wolfman is a ''sumo-wrestling'' Choujin, you can guess why this trope is listed.
* MonochromaticEyes: His eyes have no pupils...for some reason. In the anime they're also yellow.
* ShoutOut: The name Wolfman references sumo wrestler [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiyonofuji_Mitsugu Mitsugu "Wolf" Chiyonofuji]].
* WorfEffect: Forget Canadianman, he got hit with this trope the hardest.

!!Chairman Harabote Muscle ([[DubNameChange Vance [=McMadd=] in US]])
* BorrowedCatchphrase: In the US manga: "[[VinceMcMahon I'm Vance [=McMadd=], dammit!]]"
* FacialMarkings: In the original anime only, has the kanji 委 (''i'') on his forehead. The character is part of 委員長 (''iinchou''), meaning "committee chairman."
* {{Flanderization}}: In Nisei, his intial disdain for Mantarou was due to his slacker attitude. By the time of the Chojin Crown, it had degenerated into petty jealousy (He also became excessively greedy).
* JerkAss
* MoneyDearBoy: His primary motivation for reviving the Choujin Olympics.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His attempt to replace Mantarou and his friends for slacking off on superhero duty did much more harm than good considering that one of the replacements was an ''Evil Choujin'' in disguise.
* TheRival: The entire Kinniku family, but especially Mayumi.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Again, Mayumi.
* UngratefulBastard: He's always berating Suguru and Mantarou despite the fact that they've saved the world multiple times.
