CHARACTER BIOS

Akumashogun
Full name/Real name: Goldman/The Golden Mask
Origin: Tenjokai
Special Techniques: Jigoku no Dandotai, Wrist Blades, Near Invincibility, Ressurection, Power Absorption
Other: Was originally Goldman, the god of War. Lost his body in a fight with Silverman, the god of peace. Akumashogun literally means "Devil General." There was another Akumashogun who appeared in the movie, "Crisis in New York," but this one was hardly the same character.
Two gods, Goldman and Silverman(War and peace) had destroyed each other in a war, leaving only their heads- the Golden mask, and the Silver Mask. The Golden Mask made a deal with the Devil that if he could get a body, he would destroy all of the good Chiyoujin. Akumashogun formed together the Akuma Knights, and eventually resurrected them after their deaths and absorbed them into himself to create a body for himself. He was invincible as long as he had confidence in himself, but as he lost confidence, he would begin to take damage. He had the Akuma Knights seperate so his body would split up and be impossible to destroy, but Buffaloman put on the Golden mask, forcing the body to form around himself. Kinnikuman then destroyed Akumashogun with his Kinniku Driver. Afterward, the Golden mask made amends with his brother, the Silver Mask, and they merged to create a new mask- the Perfect Mask.

Ashura Man
Full name/Real name: Prince Ashuraman
Origin: Akumakai
Special Techniques: Ashura Buster, Tatsumaki Jigoku, Mugendai Inazuma, Neo Ashura Buster, Limb Regeneration, Arm-stealing
Other: Was the Only Akuma Knight to survive the initial fight. There's a small confusion with his colouration- most of the time, he's seen as having blue skin, but other times, it's a flesh tone with a brown face. he was also the first fighter to reverse the Kinniku-Buster. Ashuraman's name is derived from the Ashura sky gods of Hindu mythology, who later reappeared in Bhuddist mythology as ever-watching guardian demons.
The prince of the Akuma Knights, Ashuraman also survived the initial fight by making the mistake of getting a double ring out with Terryman. He later lost against Kinnikuman and was killed by Akumashogun for failure, but like the other Knights was resurrected and absorbed by Akumashogun. Later, when Akumashogun was defeated and the Akuma Knights scattered away, he teamed up with Sunshine, and both of them turned good after they lost to Kinnikuman before he fought The Perfect Chiyoujin. He fought in Kinnikuman Soldier's team in the End Tournament, and even though he died, he was resurrected at the end by Kinnikuman's Face Flash.

Geronimo
Full name/Real Name: Geronimo Incho
Origin: The Apache Reserves
Special Techniques: Apache Otakebi, heart of Fire, Twin Tomahawks
Other: Was an Apache, and was the "Heart of Fire" for his tribe.
As a child, Geronimo was rescued by a Chiyoujin once. Geronimo was so entranced with his Hero that he did everything that he could to become a Chiyoujin. he fought and destroyed Sunshine as a normal human, but died shortly after. The Perfect Mask resurrected him, but his soul hadn't been brought back. Terryman found that in order to restore Geronimo to normal, he would have to become a True Chiyoujin. This happened, and he fought with Terryman in the Dream Tag Team matches, but lost very early into it.

Junkman
Full name/Real name: Junkman
Origin: Australia
Special Techniques: Junk Crush, Chest Spikes, Sea of Blood Hell, Spiked Block Hands
Other: One of the Akuma Knights, his nickname makes no sense when put in context with his character. Has also been seen with an extra face on the back of his head.
Junkman was one of the Akuma Knights, and he faced Robin mask in the initial fight. He nearly won, but only succeeded in destroying Robin Masks' armour, and was defeated soon after. He inadvertantly played a role in the Ninja's defeat when the Ninja fell on his spikes.

The Ninja
Full name/Real name: Ninja
Origin: Japan
Special Techniques: Junzai Jiyu No Waza, Shonetsu Jigoku, Shuriken, Invisibility, Disguise, Zanzoken (moving so fast that he leaves a blur), Thievery, etc.
Other: The Ninja has only one eye, but that doesn't seem to hinder him much.
One of the Akuma Knights, the Ninja faced Blocken Jr. in the Initial fight. The two fought to a draw, and then their tier of the ring collapsed. The Ninja quickly disguised himself as Blocken Jr, and as they fell into the lower ring where Robin Mask and Junkman had been fighting, Robin Mask had only time to save one- he saved the Real Blocken, and The Ninja fell onto Junkman's spikes. He later made a reappearance fighting for Kinnikuman Soldier, but lost against Saturn Cross.

Planets man
Full name/Real name: Planetsman
Origin: Planet Parukan
Special Techniques: Planet Ring, Space Hell
Other: Is made up of the nine planets in the solar system. His head is Vulcan, the tenth planet, mentioned only in Greek Mythology.
Planetsman was another of the Akuma Knights, and faced Kinnikuman in the initial fight. He was decapitated at the end of the fight.

Sunigator
Full Name/Real name: Sunigator
Origin: The Congo
Special Techniques: Wani-Jigoku, Shape-Shifting, Decapitation bite
Other: Sunigator is a play on the Japanese for "Sneakers," and the English "Alligator."
Sunigator was another of the Akuma Knights to never reappear in the series again. He had the ability to shape-shift into any form, ranging from a claw to a snake to a shoe. generally, his form was reptilian, and wore sneakers, or had laces somewhere on it. The only exception to this was his last form, the Claw form. He faced Kinnikuman and was smashed into the mat in the end. His original form was the foot of a T-Rex, BTW.

Sunshine
Full name/Real name: Sunshine
Origin: Peru
Special Techniques: Shape-shifting, Noroi Roller, Sand Attacks
Other: Was named for his bright yellow colour, and the sun insignia on his forehead and chest. Usually has something to do with Ashuraman.
Sunshine, the giant Brick Colossus, had the msot dangerous attacks of all the Akuma Knights- second to Akumashogun, of course. He faced Geronimo in a "Sand Hell" death match. Just when Sunshine was about to win, Geronimo used his Apache Otakebi to crumble Sunshine into sand for the win. Sunshine later appeared again in other parts of the series in the Dream Tag Team Championships.
