Biography[]
Kinnikuman[]
Skull Bozu is a member of the World Supermen Federation, an evil Chojin organisation that makes money through drug smuggling and underground death matches, many of which Skull Bozu takes part in.
When Kinnikuman arrived in the United States, Skull Bozu was quick to try and challenge him, wanting to take his Chojin Olympic Belt from him, however, Kinnikuman would refuse and would make a plan to make the World Superman Federation and the World Superman Council fight each other by disguising himself as Channelman and beat up members from both sides.
Skull Bozu would figure out that Channelman was Kinnikuman and would work with the World Superman Council to lure him out. Skull Bozu would pretend to not know that Channelman was Kinnikuman and would temporarily hire him into the World Superman Federation. When the members of the World Superman Council became outraged, Skull Bozu would beat them all down, including ripping off part of Beauty Rhodes' face.
Skull Bozu would tell Alien Sheik about his plan to get close to Kinnikuman so he could beat him and take the belt for the World Superman Council. Eventually, Skull Bozu would bring Robin Mask into the same room as Kinnikuman and tell him that Channelman was Kinnikuman, setting a match between the two and forcing Kinnikuman into this match by having his men capture him.
In this match, Skull Bozu would hire Kinkotsuman and Iwao to fly a plane into the two while they fight, killing them both and giving the World Superman Federation by default, however, only Robin Mask would be hit by the plane. Skull Bozu would then try to blow up the ring but this too failed and Kinnikuman survived.
The World Superman Federation and the World Superman Council would come to blows with each other, Beauty Rhodes fighting against Skull Bozu himself to get revenge for his torn face. The fighting would be stopped by God Phon Eric, the previous ruler of the United States Chojin who decided to make a tag team tournament where the winning team would get the belt.
Skull Bozu would join in and would have Devil Magician be his partner after he proved himself. In their first match against Iwao and Black Shadow, the two would instantly throw Iwao out of the ring and tear apart Black Shadow.
The next fight Skull Bozu and Devil Magician had was against Beauty Rhodes and Jean Steamboard. In this match, the two would use various weapons against Beauty Rhodes and Jean Steamboard like fire, knives and gasoline, cutting and burning them. When Beauty and Jean's manager tried to stop the match, Skull Bozu just kept attacking them. When Terryman and Meat leapt into the ring, they would be attacked as well, causing Terryman's leg to be knocked off and revealing that he had a prosthetic leg.
When Terryman and Kinnikuman got to fight against Skull Bozu and Devil Magician in the final match of the tag team tournament, Ramenman was hired as the referee. This caused the cheating and weapon usage that Skull Bozu and Devil Magician had been doing impossible since Ramenman would steal the weapons before they could be used.
Skull Bozu would tie Terryman up with the ropes before using his Hedgehog Attack to make sharp spikes surround his body aside from his head which Kinnikuman attacked. Things were looking bad for Skull Bozu and Devil Magician so Alien Sheik would hire Kinkotsuman and Iwao to steal Terryman's prosthetic leg, something Skull Bozu encouraged as he beat on Terryman. Once the World Superman Council got Terryman's leg and gave it back to him, he and Kinnikuman finished up Skull Bozu and Devil Magician, winning the match.
Skull Bozu after his defeat had a change of heart and decided to stop being a Brutal Chojin and start to be more like the rest of the Justice Chojin, he could be seen at the 21st Chojin Olympics with many other Justice Chojin including Devil Magician, Kinnikuman faced off against and was seen wearing toupee but lost in the preliminaries. He later appears several times with other Justice Chojin and could be considered a Justice Chojin since he helped lift the ring with many other Chojin to help Kinnikuman against his fight with Akuma Shogun. He also appeared for the last time cheering on Kinnikuman against Kinnikuman Super Phoenix with many other Justice Chojin that Kinnikuman met in previous tournaments and adventures.
