Mayumi Kinniku

About Kinniku, Mayumi

Mayumi Kinniku, better known as King Kinniku, is the father of Ataru and Suguru and the 57th ruler of Planet Kinniku. He's a major character in Yudetamago's Kinnikuman series and its sequel Ultimate Muscle, where English versions call him Mayumi Muscle. (He's got nothing to do with Harabote Muscle, despite what the name might suggest.) The fighter: He's a former Chojin Olympic V2 Champion and Universal Grappling Champion with serious credentials—his power level sits at 650,000. The character 王 (meaning "king") is written right on his forehead. His signature moves are the Iron Claw and Kinniku Flash, and he's known for an intense, long-running rivalry with Harabote Muscle, who'd go on to chair the Chojin League. The two show up in exhibition matches all the time, though younger fans usually aren't interested in watching them. The dad (and husband): Mayumi is married to Sayuri Kinniku. They genuinely care about each other, even though she's often embarrassed by his antics—and honestly, he doesn't help himself. He can only cook curry. Despite being part of the royal Kinniku bloodline, he's clueless about the family's 3 Great Secrets and has never mastered the Face Flash. His parenting is. complicated. When strict training made his eldest son Ataru bolt, Mayumi overcorrected and raised Suguru way too permissively. The result? He once wanted to strangle the kid over his stupid face, mistook him for a pig and abandoned him on Earth, and constantly bickers with him. Yet the moment Suguru steps into a fight—especially if he's winning—Mayumi's cheering the loudest and bragging about being his father. Stats: Chojin Kyodo: 650,000 Power Homeland: Planet Kinniku Classification: Seigi Chojin First Appearance: Manga Chapter 3, Anime Episode 1 His name is derived from Akinobu Mayumi.
