Kinnikuman is a fighting and comedy manga created by Yoshinori Nakai and Takashi Shimada , known collectively as Yudetamago . The manga originally published in Japan in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1979 to 1987, and was later adapted into an anime series, films, and games.
The manga is therefore known for its unique combination of comedy and action, and for its distinctive art style which is often parodied in other series. Finally, Kinnikuman also has a dedicated fanbase worldwide, and remains popular today, almost four decades after its first publication.
Synopsis
The story follows the life of a comedic superhero named Kinnikuman, also known as "The Muscle Man," who is a weak and clumsy wrestler trying to become the world's greatest wrestler. Kinnikuman is an alien from the planet Kinniku and, despite being a hero, is often seen as a clown by the other wrestlers.
