American in Japan

As one of the most beloved characters from the classic Kinnikuman manga and an American portrayal of super powered wrestlers. Terryman has multiple posed figures of his character in the M.U.S.C.L.E. series franchised by Mattel and brought to the American markets in the mid 1980s as an unnamed star studded combatant.

Inspired by real life wrestling sensation Terry Funk this American hailing from Amarillo, Texas is a Justice Chojin with recurring appearances and depth in their storyline. Alongside the main protagonist Kinnikuman as a trusted friend and ally, this figure features his emblazoned Texas stars and generalized wrestling pose.

Coined as an often arrogant but justful character he lends to the emotional core of the franchise as a beacon of teamwork and loyalty to friendship. Most notably perhaps in the 20th Chojin Olympics wherein our hero from the lone star state loses a leg, yet continues to fight with a prosthetic.

Terryman is one of the most beloved characters from the classic Kinnikuman manga and anime — a super-powered wrestler (known in the series as a Chojin) whose story arc and personality helped define the Justice Chojin team alongside the protagonist Kinnikuman. In the United States, his likeness was immortalized as figure #31 in the Mattel M.U.S.C.L.E. toy line, a nostalgic staple of 1980s childhoods.

M.U.S.C.L.E. #31 Terryman (A)

With a portrayal primarily of real world wrestling techniques some of his signature attacks include the Spinning Toe Hold, Calf branding (Cloverleaf) hold, and the Texas Condor Kick! Focusing on grappling finesse and explosive techniques his underscoring identity is marked as a strategic and resilient warrior. Albeit at times an exaggerated personification of American demeanor brought to the stories in Japan created by the creative duo Yudetamago.
