Because strict training caused his eldest son Ataru to run away, he raises his second son Suguru very indulgently. However, frequently quarreling with Suguru, wanting to strangle his neck as a child because of his stupid face, and mistaking him for a pig and subsequently abandoning him on Earth are just a few of the examples of how Mayumi fails as a father. Nonetheless, whenever Suguru fights, and especially when he's winning, Mayumi cheers loudly for him and brags that he's his son.

Story
Mayumi was born to Tatsunori Kinniku, the 56th King of Planet Kinniku and inventor of the Niku Curtain. Other than a fierce and long-standing rivalry with Harabote Muscle, no major accomplishments of his are ever mentioned, and how he ever became king is unknown. After becoming king he marries Sayuri Kinniku and the two eventually have a son named AtaruAtaru Kinniku

and years later another one named Suguru. When Sayuri is still pregnant with Suguru, Ataru runs away from home after learning that he will not be the one to become king. While vacationing on Earth, Mayumi mistakes a pig for baby Suguru and leaves him behind. The pig, King Tōn, grows up as prince in Suguru's place and overthrows Mayumi.
Mayumi then sends Meat to Earth to retrieve Suguru, so he can defeat Tōn and take the throne. However, Suguru turns out to be a goofy failure and loses. Fortunately, the chef that once owned Tōn arrives to reclaim him, giving Mayumi a chance to snatch the King's Belt back when nobody is looking and reclaim the throne. He then has Meat take Suguru back to Earth in order to train him.
Mayumi continues to loudly support his son throughout the series and is one of the most prominent supporting cast members. During the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne

Mayumi reveals that he is much more intelligent than he seems to be when he frequently interprets the passages in the Muscle Prophecy Book.
Kinnikuman Nisei
Mayumi has had a relatively small role in Nisei, appearing only in the first few chapters (where it seems his wife Sayuri Kinniku has died) and the current storyline. He has pretty much the same relationship with Mantarou that he did with Suguru. In the current storyline (a Tag Tournament in the past), he and Harabote have resumed their roles as main supporting characters.Career information
