Kinnikuman

A clumsy and timid superhero from an alien world, he is also a prince. Despite his weaknesses, he shows honor and can tap into great strength when necessary. Supported by his companion Meat-kun and allies Terryman and Ramenman, he strives to become the top hero. Through sheer determination and the support of friends, he often overcomes stronger foes and inspires them to switch sides. While initially appearing foolish, he gradually earns the respect and title of a true hero. The manga was published with a 22-year gap between volumes 36 and 37, and a revised version began in 2011. It received the 30th Shogakukan Manga Award for best children's manga in 1984.
