Biography[]
Kinnikuman[]
Black Shadow is a robot created by Kinkotsuman to act as the partner of Iwao during the American Chojin Tag Team Tournament and he and Iwao would fight against the duo of Skull Bozu & Devil Magician who would easily defeat Black Shadow.
Black Shadow would be ordered to surrender by Kinkotsuman, however, Kinkotsuman forgot to give Black Shadow a mouth to speak with so Black Shadow couldn't surrender so he was killed by the pair of wrestlers, his head being ripped from his body and tossed out of the ring. Kinkotsuman would cry over Black Shadow's death.
Black Shadow would be seen in the background during the special chapter, Kinnikuman vs. Terryman, seemingly being rebuilt by Kinkotsuman.
