Mayumi Kinniku is the father of Ataru and Suguru Kinniku and serves as the 57th King of Planet Kinniku. The character 王 (Ou) is written on his forehead. He is a former Chojin Olympic V2 Champion and a Universal Grappling Champion. He shares a fierce and long-standing rivalry with Harabote Muscle (the future chairman of the Chojin League), and the two frequently appear in Exhibition Matches that are unpopular with younger fans.
He is married to Sayuri Kinniku. Although she is embarrassed by his occasional behavior, the two are deeply in love. To her annoyance, the only dish he knows how to cook is curry. Despite being a descendant of the Royal Kinniku Family (Kinniku Ouke), he does not know any of the 3 Great Secrets of the Kinniku Clan and never uses the Face Flash.
Because strict training caused his eldest son Ataru to run away, he raises his second son Suguru very indulgently. However, he frequently quarrels with Suguru, wanted to strangle him as a child because of his stupid face, and once mistook him for a pig and subsequently abandoned him on Earth. These are just a few examples of how Mayumi fails as a father. Nonetheless, whenever Suguru fights, and especially when he is winning, Mayumi cheers loudly for him and brags that he is his son.
His name comes from Akinobu Mayumi.
