About[]

Ukon (ウコン) is an ape kaiju who appears as the main antagonist during the Roots Island story. He turns out to actually be a robot piloted by Kinkotsuman and Iwao. He initially defeats Kinnikuman and takes over Roots Island, but Kinnikuman returns to fight him again. He is eventually destroyed by Mammora, and when Kinkotsuman and Iwao crawl out of the robot head, Kinnikuman yells at them and scares them away.

Personality[]

As an artificial creation, he lacks a real personality, since he is just a machine controlled by Kinkotsuman and Iwao.

Appearance[]

He is a giant gorilla-like creature that hides his robotic body with a false skin that make him look like a giant ape. Once this is burned, his true appearance can be seen.

History[]

Kinnikuman[]

Root Island Arc[]

While Kinnikuman is in the public baths, Kunta appears to explain that three Kaiju are attacking her village and lay siege to her island: Ukon, Harigoras, and Octopus Dragon. [1] Kinnikuman and Terryman travel together to Roots Island to help Kunta and save the islanders. After they defeat Harigoras and Octopus King, a piece of meat appears before Kinnikuman and he eats the meat. Custom dictates whomever eats the meat must fight Ukon one-on-one in battle. It is meat thrown by Ukon in a challenge. [1]

Kinnikuman goes to a Colosseum, who has taken Kunta hostage and is attacked by the locals with various objects, as they throw things into the Colosseum. [2] Tabuchi tries to save the princess, but Ukon flicks him away with a giant finger. When Kinnikuman climbs a pole to escape, Ukon shakes it to get him down. Kinnikuman soon loses the fight, causing Ukon to rule over the people and turn them into slaves. Kinnikuman becomes his servant, but - when lighting a cigar for Ukon - he sets Ukon on fire in a blaze. [2]

The skin melts off Ukon, revealing he was a robot all along. When he kidnaps Kunta once more, the locals call upon Mammora to save them. Mammora picks Kinnikuman up on his back and flies towards Ukon, whom they smash into a wall to remove his arm. Kinnikuman uses the Kinniku Flash, but it does not work on Ukon. After several exchanges of blows, Mammora destroys Ukon, and it is revealed Kinkotsuman and Iwao were working the robot the entire time, but they soon run away. [2]

Anime Changes[]

As with Harigoras, Ukon was completly changed in his apparition in the 1st Kinnikuman movie, where now, instead of been a giant robot ape-like kaiju, he is an Evil Chojin with a lizard-like design. Not only that, but his name was used to name a whole clan of Evil Chojins that appears in all the movies.
