A rhino-headed thug from the Vigilantes backstreets, Rhino Man shakes down civilians until the Crawler and a cafe crew with a persuasive recruitment pitch redirect his career. He ends up washing dishes at Hopper's Cafe for 650 yen an hour, lunch included.
Scars run all over the thick, leathery gray hide that sheathes him, and the head sitting on that bulky frame belongs to a rhinoceros.
He dresses in a black vest layered over a white hoodie and a red tank top, with beige pads on the shoulders and dark brown bracelets on his wrists.
Loud and combative. His idea of an afternoon is cornering two girls in an alley and demanding money from them.
In Naruhata, Rhino Man and Horse Man bump into a pair of girls and turn it into a shakedown, claiming Horse Man's arm is broken and demanding compensation. Bystanders drift over to see what the commotion is, Horse Man screams them off, and Rhino Man tells the girls nobody is coming to help, since neither the police nor heroes bother with the backstreets. He orders them to come along. One of the girls says otherwise: there is one hero who turns up when called. She calls for the Crawler.
Koichi Haimawari duly appears, startling both thugs, and introduces himself while gushing about finally being addressed by the name he picked. They swing at him and hit nothing, since he keeps dodging and keeps talking, until Pop Step tells him to quit fantasizing mid-fight. Cheered on by passers-by, he somersaults clear of another attack and decides to take it seriously, switching to Slap Style and firing off repulsion blasts, then landing Double Shooty-Go-Blam on the pair, which fails to put either down. Rhino Man grabs him by the hoodie to land a punch, and that is when Kirihito Kamachi and Ikajiro Takobe step in, subduing Rhino Man and holding Horse Man respectively, ending the fight on the spot. Both introduce themselves as Hopper's Cafe staff while Teruo Unagisawa hands out pamphlets. Kirihito's offer is blunt: get a job or get handed to the cops. The terms are dishwashing at 650 yen hourly, lunch thrown in, and he welcomes his two new workers aboard.
Later, during the Naruhata Lockdown, Rhino Man turns up among the reformed villains, alongside Emperor Yotsuura, Willy Wanda, Tommy S. Gordon, and his old partner Horse Man, cheering the Crawler on as he takes on Number 6, then in Destruction Style form. His unnamed rhinoceros Quirk gives him the animal's appearance and presumably some of its traits, though whether he actually has any has never been established.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....

Rhino Man has an unnamed rhinoceros Quirk that gives him the animal's appearance, though it has never been established whether he gains any of its physical traits beyond looks.
After the Crawler fights Rhino Man and his partner Horse Man to a standstill, Kirihito Kamachi and Ikajiro Takobe of Hopper's Cafe subdue them and offer a choice between a job and the police, and Rhino Man ends up washing dishes there for 650 yen an hour with lunch included.
Rhino Man's partner in crime is Horse Man, alongside whom he tries to shake down two girls in Naruhata before the Crawler intervenes.
No, Rhino Man leaves villainy behind and becomes a reformed member of the Hopper's Cafe crew, later cheering on the Crawler during the Naruhata Lockdown alongside other reformed villains.
