Specialman is a Choujin in the form of an American Football player. At first he is portrayed as one of the top-label Choujins in the world, but he is easily eliminated in the 20th Choujin Olympics by Kinkotsuman's scheme. He constantly appears throughout the rest of the series, most notably in the Dream Choujin Tag Arc when he and Canadianman have their right to participate stolen from the trespassing Stray Akuma Combo (Ashuraman and Sunshine). However, as with the aforementioned incidents, he is never truly shown in action. He is a childhood friend of Terryman, and during the 20th Choujin Olympics he snuck out of a hospital in order to support him during his match with Skyman.

He is one of many characters who head for Osaka Castle during the Throne Arc in order to support Team Kinnikuman. He recently appeared in Kinnikuman Nisei during the Ultimate Choujin Tag Arc. He and Canadianman are reluctant to be picked to take part in the Reserve Match. It is also revealed at this time that after Specialman was eliminated from the Universal Choujin Tag Tournament, he was booed and treated badly after returning home.

In the manga he has an S written on his forehead, but in the first anime it is not there.
