Mansam is the director of the Gourmet Research Institute within the International Gourmet Organization (IGO). He organizes the World's Best Eating Tournament, a race held on a remote island where the championship prize is the rare Carat Sizzled Cattle, attracting participants from multiple franchises. At the post-race banquet, Mansam reveals the tournament's true purpose: a strategic plan to gather powerful fighters and lure the energy-draining Deep Sea Glutton creature, Akami, out of the ocean. He discloses this to the assembled competitors after Akami attacks, explaining the creature's threat and the necessity of capturing it within 30 minutes to save those whose energy it had absorbed.
