Biography[]
Kinnikuman[]
Higanteman is first seen fighting in preliminaries to the 21st Chojin Olympics to see which Chojin can become the Chojin representative for Peru. He brutally beats his opponent Copper Bellman to a round of applause.
He steps out of the ring to get a towel from his second, Marco, however, Higanteman wants a red towel and hits him before telling Marco that his food for tonight will be yesterday's leftovers.
The next day, Higanteman tells Marco that after he fights in the 21st Chojin Olympics, he will retire and run to become the President of Peru. He hands a set of documents to Marco which details Higanteman's plan to have the ancient Nazca Lines, the famous ancient geoglyphs of Peru, destroyed to make way for a large recreational facility with Higanteman bribing the current politicians so they approve his plans, all so Higanteman can build a Las Vagas like area in Peru and become one of the richest Chojin alive, however, Marco rips up the documents, causing Higanteman to beat him.
Higanteman goes off to fight against his final opponent in the preliminaries, Benkiman. Initially, Benkiman is unable to even harm Higanteman but once Benkiman sees Marco's bruised face, he is enraged enough to beat down Higanteman before rolling him into a ball and flushing him down the toilet on his body.
Higanteman's fate is unknown.
