Description
Meat, also called Alexandria Meat or Meat-kun, hails from the Churrasco Clan on Planet Kinniku. His father Mince entrusts him to King Mayumi Kinniku, who sends him to Earth to retrieve the lost prince Suguru Kinniku. Meat sports glasses and displays the hiragana "にく" (Niku, meaning "Meat") on his forehead. Despite his Churrasco origins, he bears the Kinniku Clan's KIN Mark on his chest, resembling the old JIS Mark 〄. He has two older sisters: Medium Rare and Kalbi Liver.
Meat serves as Kinnikuman's personal assistant, trainer, and closest friend. Initially, their relationship involves frequent quarrels due to Kinnikuman's cowardice and laziness, but it evolves into a brother-like bond where both demonstrate willingness to sacrifice for the other. Meat provides Kinnikuman with tactical advice, cultural education about Planet Kinniku, and wrestling guidance. He frequently acts as Kinnikuman's coach during key events like the 20th and 21st Chojin Olympics, the American Tour, and conflicts against groups such as the Seven Devil Chojin and Six Devil Knights. While typically a non-combatant supporter, Meat occasionally participates directly in combat, such as executing a backdrop against Mixer Taitei during the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne arc.
His glasses are a critical vulnerability; their destruction causes immediate incapacitation. Pressing his temple activates a light emission from his forehead markings. During the Seven Devil Chojin arc, Buffaloman dismembers him into seven pieces, compelling Kinnikuman to win matches to reassemble him. Meat also develops romantic feelings for Mari Nikaido, reuniting with her later.
In the sequel series, Meat preserves himself through cryosleep to maintain his appearance. He later awakens to mentor Kinnikuman's son, Mantaro Kinniku. Their dynamic echoes Meat's relationship with Kinnikuman but incorporates greater emphasis on parental guidance. Meat refers to Mantaro as "Nisei" (Second) or "Junior," providing educational support, courage reminders during matches, and surrogate parenting on Earth. He continues his advisory role during Mantaro's conflicts, including battles against the dMp (Destruction, Mayhem and Pain) and Omega Centauri's forces. Meat remains a constant presence throughout Mantaro's development, emphasizing duty and loyalty across generations.
