About Wolfman

Classification: Seigi Chojin Homeland: Aomori, Japan Age: 20, 21 (Golden Mask Arc), 23 (Throne Arc), 57 (Nisei) Height: 190 cm Weight: 102 kg Chojin Kyodo: 800,000 Power (Anime: 980,000 Power) Trademark Techniques: Gasshou Hineri, Nekodamashi, Rubik's Cube Twist Trainer: Coyoteman (manga), Kasugano (anime) Tag Teams: Most Dangerous Combo (Brocken Jr.) First Appearance: Manga Chapter 90, Anime Episode 27 Wolfman is a sumo choujin from Aomori who used to hold the Choujin Sumo Yokozuna title before pivoting to choujin wrestling. He's known for his obsessive training regimen and his "Beautiful Muscles of Steel"—muscles he genuinely believes outclass Kinnikuman's. He started out despising Kinnikuman (mockingly calling him "Flabbyman"), but after losing a sumo match to him, he had a change of heart and started respecting the guy. That's when he switched sides, joining the ranks of the good guys and fighting against the Akuma Choujin. The series doesn't always do him favors, though. Wolfman tends to get stuck with weak opponents in lopsided matchups, and he repeatedly gets used as fodder to demonstrate how powerful the villains are—dying and coming back three separate times. Still, his sumo specialty has earned him a decent fanbase, especially in Japan. The character was inspired by the real rikishi Chiyonofuji Mitsugu, whose actual nickname was "Wolf." In the anime adaptation, he's renamed Rikishiman (real name: Rikio) and leans harder into sumo stereotypes, using authentic sumo phrases like "Dosuko~i!" and "Gottan desu!"
