Ataru Kinniku

Kinniku Ataru is a character from Yudetamago’s manga and anime series Kinnikuman and it’s sequel Kinnikuman Nisei.

Ataru is the older brother of Kinniku Suguru, the protagonist of the series, and the eldest son of the Royal Kinniku Family.

In his childhood he could not endure the strict Spartan-like training his parents put him through and ran away from home. Because this all happened before Suguru’s birth, Suguru was never aware of Ataru’s existence.

Ataru watched over his little brother from the shadows as he fought against Evil Choujin, making sure he learned the value of friendship, and then returned after 25 years during the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne.

As an experienced Senpai Choujin, he is viewed as an older brother to not only Suguru but the other Idol Choujin as well.

Ataru possesses what he refers to as True Friendship Power (真・友情パワー, Shin Yuujou Power) and his own Kajiba no Kuso Djikara prototype called Gouka no Kuso Djikara (業火のクソ力, Fiery Inner Strength) (Ganso Kajiba no Kuso Djikara (元祖・火事場のクソ力, Original Burning Inner Strength) in the anime).
