The premise and legacy of the series

Suguru Kinniku, a well-intentioned yet clumsy superhero, stumbles upon a life-changing revelation when he learns that he is the long-lost prince of Planet Kinniku. This remarkable world serves as the birthplace of the universe's most esteemed champions. However, despite his inherent claim to the throne, Suguru's determination is put to the ultimate test as he must confront the malevolent Chojin in thrilling wrestling tournaments in order to safeguard the entire universe.

Kinnikuman predates popular shonen series like Fist of the North Star and Dragon Ball, making it one of the earliest attempts to push the boundaries of exaggerated drama.

With Kinnikuman Perfect Origin, the team at Production I.G. must navigate the challenge of maintaining the show's unique blend of craziness and meaningful themes of friendship and personal growth.
