Description
Born as Powerfulman on Planet Kinniku alongside Kinnikuman and four others, a hospital fire caused an infant mix-up, obscuring the rightful heir to the throne. This event drew five evil gods, each empowering one child; the God of Technique chose Powerfulman, transforming him into Kinnikuman Zebra.
Powerfulman endured a poverty-stricken childhood in Africa, laboring as a farmer to earn Chojin Society admission fees. His sole companion was a zebra named Kid. When he presented his savings to the Chojin Association, they denied him entry unless he killed Kid and surrendered its pelt. Forced to comply, Powerfulman killed his friend, an act that traumatized him and cemented his belief in money as the only reliable motivator, fostering distrust of non-financial relationships.
As Zebra, he manifested a dual personality. His normal "White Form" fought cleanly and strategically. Exposure to shadows triggered a brutal "Black Form," employing concealed weapons and excessive violence, reflecting his psychological conflict over his past.
During the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne, Zebra paid Team Zebra members 3 billion Chojin Dollars each. He battled Kinnikuman at Himeji Castle. Parthenon's shadow triggered Zebra's Black Form mid-fight, where he used iron balls during punches and attempted a lethal flying headbutt. Kinnikuman mentioning Kid's fear caused Zebra to hallucinate Kid's spirit, leading to his emotional breakdown. Defeated, the God of Technique abandoned him, reverting him to Powerfulman. Prisman disintegrated him with the Rainbow Shower attack as he was carried away on a stretcher.
In the Omega Centauri's Six Spears arc, the God of Technique reappeared, warning Powerfulman of a new threat and restoring his Zebra powers. He joined other revived Fated Princes to retrieve their masks from the National Chojin Museum and traveled to Barcelona to aid Justice Chojin against Omega Centauri. Zebra confronted Mariquitaman in a climactic battle, marking his shift from antagonist to ally.
In *Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2*, Zebra is portrayed as a highly technical boxer with complex moves and stance transitions, emphasizing precision and frame traps to reflect his "God of Technique" persona. His moves include Muscle Inferno and Saint Muscle Punch, consistent with his manga and anime abilities.
