Seiyu: Issei Futamata, Takumi Yamazaki (Kinnikuman Nisei)Benkiman is a toilet chojin from the Benkíyá Tribe, a race descended from the advanced toilet culture of the Incan Empire. His early life was marked by tragedy—around 1533, Francisco Pizarro's soldiers killed his parents during the Spanish conquest and beat him so badly he lost all his memories.
For years he went by Heladoman (Ice Cream Man) and worked as a local wrestler. When he heard about the 21st Chojin Olympics, he entered the qualifying round and actually managed to beat the favored Giganteman to earn Peru's spot. Then came his grandfather's deathbed confession, revealing who he really was, and Benkiman reclaimed his true identity.
His match against Kinnikuman at the Olympics is what he's best known for. His signature move, the Benki Flush, sucks opponents into his toilet body—normally a one-way trip. Kinnikuman seemed finished when he got flushed, but he jammed his shorts into the toilet to cause a backup, which let him escape and ultimately win. He also managed to rescue the other chojins who'd been trapped inside.
Design-wise, the manga shows him with a coil of feces on his head, but the anime switched it to a water faucet instead.
Later on, Benkiman, Tileman, and Curry Cook all pop up again in a recent arc, only to get turned back into humans by Strong the Budo. The English dub of Kinnikuman Nisei renamed him "Mr. P," and his student Wash Ass eventually reveals he died before the events of that series.
