Description
Meat Alexandria, known as Meat-kun, hails from the Churrasco Tribe on Planet Kinniku. His tribe entrusted him to the Kinniku Clan as a child due to his exceptional intellect, raising him to serve Prince Suguru Kinniku (Kinnikuman). Though his parents initially resisted, they accepted this for justice's sake. Meat bears the hiragana "Niku" (meat) on his forehead and the Kinniku Clan's "KIN Mark" (resembling the JIS Mark 〄) on his chest. He relies on glasses; damaging or removing them incapacitates him. Pressing his temple activates a bright light from his forehead marking.
Sent to Earth to retrieve the lost prince, Meat encountered Kinnikuman's incompetence but stayed as his advisor, strategist, and trainer. Their bond fluctuated between camaraderie and conflict, often strained by Kinnikuman's cowardice or laziness. Meat orchestrated tactics for early kaiju hunts and wrestling tournaments like the 20th and 21st Chojin Olympics from the sidelines. He occasionally rivalled Kinnikuman for Mari Nikaido's affection.
During the Seven Devil Chojin arc, Buffaloman dismembered Meat into seven pieces, distributing them among the Devils as bargaining chips to compel Kinnikuman's combat. Kinnikuman's victories reassembled Meat, though Buffaloman's final intervention saved him. Meat later aided missions against the Six Devil Knights and Akuma Shogun, notably used in Planetman's "Planet Face." In the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne, he temporarily joined Kinnikuman's wrestling team as the sole initial member. After Kinnikuman lost to Mixer Taitei, Meat defeated Mixer with a backdrop but suffered subsequent losses to King the 100 Ton and The Manriki before Warsman intervened.
Following Kinnikuman's coronation, Meat underwent cryogenic freezing to preserve himself for future generations. Thawed decades later, he trained and advised Kinnikuman's son, Mantaro Kinniku, in *Kinnikuman Nisei*. Their dynamic echoed his bond with Suguru, though Meat adopted a more paternal role. During the Demon Seed arc, his body was dismembered again for General Terror's resurrection, requiring heroes to retrieve his parts. He later aided time-travel in the Ultimate Choujin Tag Arc by giving Terry the Kid special glasses for past self-assistance, avoiding direct involvement to prevent paradoxes.
In the *Perfect Origin Arc*, set 1.5 years post-coronation, Meat supported the Justice Chojin during a disrupted peace treaty with Devil and Perfect factions. He assisted Kinnikuman, who abdicated temporary duties to battle the Perfect Large Numbers, providing non-combat logistical and advisory support throughout the tournament.
Meat's techniques include the Closed Gate Crush, Meat's Kids Torpedo, and Back Drop. Franchise polls reflect his popularity, ranking 10th in the 2nd Kinnikuman Popularity Contest and 6th in the 2nd *Kinnikuman Nisei* contest. His win/loss record stands at two victories (O Franky, Mixer Taitei) and two defeats (King the 100 Ton, The Manriki).
