Description
Rihito, originally dubbed "The Superman," holds the unprecedented dual position of president and designated fighter for Super Frozen Cold Storage within the Kengan Association. His physique is powerfully bulky, complemented by messy blonde hair, small blonde eyebrows, and animated expressions exuding confidence.
Born with extraordinary physical gifts, he foreshadowed his signature combat technique at age eleven by tearing a coin apart barehanded. During his Bakata High School years, he clashed with Sawada Keizaburo, igniting a lasting rivalry. Early in his Kengan career, he represented Yoshitake Real Estate. He later infiltrated Tokita Ohma’s residence with Ivan Karaev to scout his opponent pre-match. In their ensuing battle, Rihito deployed "Razor’s Edge"—finger-based slashes that slice flesh—initially dominating until Ohma devised a counter. Defeat cost him his position with Yoshitake.
After brief part-time work at a Nogi Group shipping company, Nogi Hideki appointed him president of the newly established shell corporation SF Cold Storage, cementing his dual role. He entered the Kengan Annihilation Tournament under its banner, overpowering Shimoda Saji in preliminaries by brute-forcing free from a submission hold. On Ganryu Island, he befriended Okubo Naoya, forming an alliance with Kaneda Suekichi and Himuro Ryo. Pre-tournament, Kure Raian assaulted him as a warm-up, inflicting physical and psychological damage. His first-round match against Kuroki Gensai ended in a crushing, tear-inducing loss.
Persistently seeking Kuroki’s mentorship despite rejections, Rihito followed him through the tournament and pursued training in America. Kuroki taught him Pre-Initiative and Kaiwan Style fundamentals, which Rihito merged with his innate "Nakata Ichiro Style," creating a hybrid focused on efficiency and combinations.
Years later, he secured a spot in the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament by defeating Mokichi Robinson bloodlessly. During the second round against The Falcon, he deduced his opponent’s deceptive techniques but succumbed to "Toxic Avenger" poison. Despite landing Razor’s Edge and overpowering The Falcon while poisoned, he lost to a rear-naked choke, suffering mild amnesia. Post-recovery, he confronted The Falcon about the poison and Kuroki’s reputation. Later, with Carlos Medel, he intervened to halt Akoya Seishu and Nicolas Le Banner’s violent clash, physically restraining Akoya.
Post-tournament, his skills advanced significantly. Kuroki noted his progression to the "shuhari" stage’s discretion phase during the Berserker Bowl, though early struggles coordinating instinct and training hindered performances against opponents like Death Crow Jr. and Saw Paing—observers like Ohma cited disjointed attacks. Upon achieving transcendent "shuhari," he seamlessly fused his talents, toppling Saw Paing in the semi-final. In the finals against Koga, he executed a feint bypassing the Fist Eye, claiming the Berserker Bowl title unscathed.
His personality blends high self-confidence with scant tactical acumen, leaving him vulnerable to manipulation—evidenced when Nogi recruited him. He relentlessly pursues women, particularly Akiyama Kaede, despite repeated rejections. Yet he forges strong bonds, celebrating Ohma’s return emotionally and supporting comrades like Okubo.
