Biography[]
Past[]
Stereo-Cassette King's past is mostly unknown, what is known is that Stereo-Cassette King made a deal with Satan in exchange for power, becoming a Devil Chojin and would be trained by the Six Devil Knights until he and the rest of the Seven Devil Chojin were sealed away.
Kinnikuman[]
Stereo-Cassette King would make his first appearance after Kinnikuman would accidentally free the Seven Devil Chojin and they attack Warsman with Stereo-Cassette King using his Devil's Symphony to burst his hearing before the Devil Chojin would try to fight Kinnikuman to prove how powerful they were. When Kinnikuman refused, they attacked Meat, splitting his body into pieces, with Stereo-Cassette King getting Meat's torso, which could be brought back together, however, if they stayed apart for 10 days then he would die.
Stereo-Cassette King would be the first opponent that Kinnikuman would face in order to get back Meat's torso. Kinnikuman would attack Stereo-Cassette King, realising that he was weak and began to mock him, however, Stereo-Cassette King used his rage to grab the cassette with Warsman's data, instantly turning the fight in his favor.
Stereo-Cassette King would switch to Robin Mask and Ramenman's cassettes, using their signature techniques to beat up Kinnikuman before latching onto Kinnikuman with his headphones and subjecting him to the Devil's Symphony, almost deafening Kinnikuman until the radio station changed to a comedy program.
Kinnikuman would turn the fight in his favor, landing a Kinniku Buster that severely hurt Stereo-Cassette King. In a last-ditch effort, Stereo-Cassette King would grab a random cassette to use against Kinnikuman, but instead of powering him up, it weakened him. Stereo-Cassette King realised that the cassette he was using was Kinnikuman's from when he was a weakling but before he could change the tape, Kinnikuman used a Kinniku Buster on him, smashing his body to pieces.
Despite being dead, Stereo-Cassette King and the other deceased Devil Chojin had subjected Kinnikuman to the Blood Bind during his battle with Atlantis, preventing him from fighting at full strength and leaving him open to Atlantis' attacks. It wouldn't be until Terryman and Brocken Jr. would enter the spirit realm to attack the deceased Devil Chojin, stopping the Blood Bind.
Kinnikuman (2011)[]
Once the Perfect Chojin appeared, the Seven Devil Chojin would be sent out to combat them with Stereo-Cassette King fighting against Turboman, sneaking up on him and attacking him with the Devil's Symphony but he broke free of it. Stereo-Cassette King quickly inserted a cassette to attack back, Turboman saw the label and thought that he had inserted the old Kinnikuman cassette, making the same mistake, however, it was revealed that it was Kinnikuman Zebra's cassette, a much stronger opponent before switching to Neptuneman's cassette and then Mammothman's cassette, damaging Turboman with each attack.
Stereo-Cassette King then insert Warsman cassette and placed him into the Palo Special, ready to break apart Turboman's body. Just when Stereo-Cassette King thought he won, Turboman's body began to glow, revealing that he had been taking damage to store up which he would use against Stereo-Cassette King by injecting the power into Stereo-Cassette King's body, making him stronger but soon making his arm explode. Stereo-Cassette King would try to use Warsman's bear claw but that arm would blow up.
Turboman would then stab Stereo-Cassette King's torso with his sharp gauntlet. As Stereo-Cassette King laid there with a hole in his chest, he protested Turboman, stating how he would end him or die trying. Turboman would respond by throwing Stereo-Cassette King into the air and putting him into a hold that would slam him to the ground. Before they hit the ground, Turboman asked why he held onto Warsman's cassette, thinking there was sentimental value, however, Stereo-Cassette King responded by saying that he thought Warsman's techniques would be enough to win.
Satisfied with the answer given, Turboman slammed Stereo-Cassette King body down to the ground, killing him once again.
