List of Baki The Grappler Characters - Hanma Baki Characters

Hanma Baki Characters

  • (規格外象?)
  • Saman (サマン?)' - Leader of a special task force in Africa. He gathered many troops together to kill a raging elephant. The elephant was ten or more times bigger than a normal elephant. It was big enough to impale a lion with its tusks. Saman's weapons could not defeat it, and neither could anti-aircraft weapons. Yujiro came and killed the elephant without a weapon. Saman relayed this story to the news, only to be ridiculed.
  • Rumina Miyugawa (鮎川ルミナ?)' - A grade-schooler who challenged Baki to become the strongest. Baki slapped him. Afterwards, Rumina was complimented for taking a blow. Baki then took Rumina to his home and demonstrated his shadow boxing.
  • Jun Gebaru/'Che' Guevara (純・ゲバル?) - In the 'Son of Ogre' series, an 'alternative universe' version of the famous Che Guevara exists. This Edwardo 'Che' Guevara is a former pirate of the high seas who went on to found his own sovereign nation of 'La Serna'. His appearance is nearly identical to the real Guevara as seen in the classic photograph, and he is one of the three strongest men in the entire world, along with Biscuit Oliva and Yujiro Hanma. Much like the real-life version, this manga version of Guevara is notorious for his radical political philosophy, his anti-captitalist and more specifically anti-US stance (the crime he is presumably imprisoned for is that he broke into George W. Bush's house and threatened his family, after Bush considered using bullying military tactics against La Serna), and his harsh discipline. It is this discipline that has made him so powerful, as he is described as 'one of the three men alive more powerful than a machine gun'. He uses a fighting style developed from the exclusive use of bare hands against all weapon types, and so is quite capable of killing someone in a single hit. He can defeat an opponent who has a gun to his head, or destroy several abnormally strong and/or skilled opponents at once. He is first encountered in the Arizona prison, as he has intentionally allowed himself to be captured and imprisoned there in order to battle Biscuit Oliva, a man he sees as representing the strength and arrogance of the United States. He puts up a good fight against Oliva, but loses in the end after enduring several hits from Oliva's full strength, Oliva noting that he is the first man in ages to be able to withstand his full strength. Apart from these obvious differences in personality and ability, this manga version of Guevara is also much younger than the real-life version would be, being about mid-thirties at the oldest, with the manga being set in current times. He goes back to his country after his defeat.
  • George W. Bush (ジョージ・ボッシュ?) - The President of the United States. He considered taking military action against La Serna, only to be thwarted by one of Guevara's men. He was later kidnapped by Baki. Over a cup of coffee, Baki told Bush that he kidnapped him because it was an offense making Baki worthy to go to the Arizona Prison.
  • Chamomile Lessen (カモミール・レッセン?) - One of Guevara's underlings, he infiltrated the secret service as a bodyguard of President Bush. While Bush was having a conference about military action in La Serna, Chamomile stopped him and informed him that Guevara's men have infiltrated every state.
  • Samuel (サミュエル?) - The coach and manager of Ian McGregor. he appears first in the Maximum Tournament arc, where he is very protective of Ian. He later interferes with Ian's match against Chiharu Shiba, costing him the fight. Samuel briefly appears in "Son of Ogre" at the Arizona prison. In the English dub of the anime, it is said that Samuel is Ian's stepfather. Neither the Japanese version nor the manga make such indications, however.
  • Mouth (Lips, Teeth, and Tongue) (唇(リップ)・歯(トゥース)・舌(タング)?) - Identical triplets who have a knack for finishing each other's sentences. They are formidable soldiers sent to fight Ian McGregor to ensure that he can't start his boxing career again. Fighting all at once, they beat Ian nearly to death, but Che Guevara stops them. Che urinated on Tongue, who unleashed much profanity before being beaten by Guevara. With a core member defeated, Lips and Teeth knew they could not win and retreated, to which Guevara casually said, "As usual, the Tongue was the only one who got dirty".
  • Maria (マリア?) - A morbidly obese woman and the lover of Biscuit Oliva. Oliva is stunned by her beauty, so much that he says that a handkerchief from her hometown has the most intense scent. However, Maria constantly belittles and insults Oliva. She watches the Guevara/Oliva fight from atop her king-sized bed. It is later revealed she was once a slim and incredibly attractive woman, but an unknown disease and the drugs used to treat it caused her massive weight gain, possibly affecting her metabolism. Oliva continues to love her because her attitude and bearing never changed despite her hardship.
  • Pikuru/ Pickle (ピクル?) - A primitive form of man found perfectly preserved in a saline rock formation (hence he is 'pickled') this giant humanoid supposed lived originally in the Jurassic/Cretaceous era. He is revived from his long suspended animation in Baki 10.5, and is sent to Japan by Strydum after he defeats entire army battalions and even a high-tech exo-skeletal powersuit sent against him. Pickle does not resemble any form of primitive man (Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon) or even modern humans, standing taller than Jack Hammer and possessing a level of muscular development equivalent to Oliva. He possesses upper and lower exaggerated canines, giving him a 'fanged' appearance, and his nails resemble claws. His muscles are so developed and powerful that he withstands three 9 mm. shots to the stomach at point blank range, none of which penetrate his abs, and indeed he believes the man who shot him to be engaging in some sort of rough-house 'game'. He hunted, killed and ate T-Rexes without the use of weapons in his prehistoric life, and is one of the most blatantly superhuman characters in the entire manga. He has never been heard to speak intelligibly so far in the manga. His strength is shown in various occasions, being capable of withstanding a strength test with Yujiro himself, resisting a charge from Hanayama, sending Baki flying through the Korakuen arena with a single kick, chopping a leg from Retsu Kaiou after beating him, and enduring Katsumi Orochi's attacks and taking his right arm as a gift. When fighting Jack Hammer he lost his left ear to a bite attack after ripping off the flesh from Jack's jaw. He goes mad after this and beats Jack senseless. In Baki's battle against Pickle, Baki's adaption of dinosaur-like stances has led Pickle into believing that he's as dangerous as the combined-form of all the dinosaurs he's ever faced.
  • Dr. Albert Payne (アルバート・ペイン?) - A nobel prize winner. He appears to be very knowledgeable about Pickle, whom he views as a treasure to the human race. Thus he harshly rebukes anyone who tries to defame Pickle, saying that his acts (i.e., sexually assaulting a female reporter, killing and eating an endangered tiger) are only natural to him in his time and thus is not wrong. He is based on Albert Einstein.
  • Amur Tiger (シベリアトラ ?) A Siberian Tiger that was sacrificed as a meal to Pickle. Pickle ate it because it attacked him without fear. Doctor Payne suggested sacrificing the entire species (including around 500 tigers) to satisfy Pickle's hunger. Retsu Kaiou stopped this by sacrificing himself.
  • Takesi Kenmoti (剣持武志?)
  • Terada (寺田?)
  • Sakimura (崎村?)
  • Katsumi's Mother (克巳の母?)
  • Tsutomu Mukōyama (向山努?)
  • Barack Obama (バラク・オズマ?) - The newly elected President of the USA appears in the Gaia Gaiden. He's out jogging and is targeted by a sniper who is quickly dispatched by Gaia.
  • (藻木?)
  • (波斗山征夫?)
  • Kin Shōchū (金尚中?)
  • Yoda Masamichi (與田政道?)
  • (木頼武?)
  • (世戸内若鳥?)

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    I make it a kind of pious rule to go to every funeral to which I am invited, both as I wish to pay a proper respect to the dead, unless their characters have been bad, and as I would wish to have the funeral of my own near relations or of myself well attended.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
