Appearance

Jakumen towers over most, a heavily muscled man with a firm jaw and a broad nose. His hair is light and cropped close. He competes in a short-sleeved white shirt under an umber singlet marked with the yellow initials GP, finished with black socks and wristbands.

Personality

Behind the imposing frame sits a timid nature; Jakumen is described as weak-minded and too nervous to trade insults with an opponent. He is warm and courteous toward others, offering praise to Sour Face after their bout and regarding his fellow martial artists as friends.

History

Jakumen enters the Super Fight tournament at the C-City Super Stadium for the first time during the Human Monster Saga. Watching Max face Suiryu, he is stunned by how effortlessly Suiryu wins. Drawn against Sour Face in his opening round, both men visibly on edge, he loses when Sour Face locks in a chokehold that forces him to tap out, and the two trade compliments afterward as commentators marvel at their sportsmanship. He is still on hand at the closing ceremony when the Three Crows and Gouketsu crash it and threaten to kill the fighters unless they turn into monsters. After Choze transforms, he strikes Jakumen to try out his new power, and whether Jakumen lived through it is unknown. Little has been shown of his strength beyond that loss, and his Giga Pro Wrestling style has yet to be displayed.
