#182 Mystery Partner

Anonymous threat

Fans of the Mattel M.U.S.C.L.E. import series knew this faceless fighter simply by only the Big Body Team emblazoned across his back. Since the original identities of the figures weren’t included when the series was imported for the English-Speaking markets from their origin in a deep Japanese manga and anime franchise. His actual identity would remain elusive for many years until fans finally found out more about is story from the creative minds of the artistic duo known collectively as Yudetamago in their enormous Kinnikuman universe.

Rather than a conventional name for an identity this masked figure debuts as a mysterious appearance role as an unidentified member of the Kinnikuman Super Phoenix Team during the Scramble for the Throne story arc. Sporting his distinctive helmet and concealing garb to make his appearance as anonymous as possible, the design intentionally gives little detail towards the identity leaving your imagination to speculate who is underneath the costume.

This carries into the characters lasting depiction both in appearances and even in the franchise merchandise as having no known birthpace, height, weight, Chojin power, any generally distinctive traits whatsoever. Which oddly enough, still managed to make him a fan favorite to many MUSCLE enthusiasts around the world as their imaginations could fill in the blanks!

With zero characteristics that allow him to possess a notable identity this means there are no signature moves or techniques attached to the figure’s persona. Allowing his entire motif to be decided by the fans as unidentified Chojin that found his way into the hearts of fandom followers around the globe. Providing yet another unique aspect in the diversity of character design attributes that keeps the Kinnikuman still popular and produced even still today, and hopefully long into the future.
