Manga

Kinnikuman, known as Suguru Kinniku in his civilian identity, is the titular protagonist of the manga and anime series of the same name, created by Yudetamago.

He is a clumsy and initially cowardly alien prince from Planet Kinniku, a world renowned for producing the universe's greatest superheroes. Suguru was mistakenly sent to Earth as a baby due to a mix-up with a pig.

Despite his royal lineage, Kinnikuman begins as an unpopular and inept superhero, more interested in eating beef bowl (gyūdon) than fighting evil. He gradually develops into a powerful and courageous wrestler.

Driven by justice and friendship, Kinnikuman defends Earth from various threats, including alien wrestlers, evil gods, and robotic menaces. His signature move is the Kinniku Buster, a devastating submission hold.

Throughout the series, he struggles to live up to the expectations of his father, King Kinniku, and prove himself worthy of the Kinniku Royal Family name.
