Meat is of Planet Kinniku&#039;s Churrasco Tribe whom was entrusted by his father Mince to Mayumi Kinniku of the Kinniku tribe for the greater good of the planet. Meat then is sent to Earth to retrieve the long lost prince Suguru Kinniku (Kinnikuman, known as Suguru Muscle in Ultimate Muscle).  He wears glasses and has the hiragana characters Niku (にく Meat) on his forehead. Also, although a member of the Churrasco Tribe, he has the Kinniku Clan&#039;s KIN Mark (KINマーク Kin Māku) on his chest that is similar to the old JIS Mark 〄.  He serves as Kinnikuman&#039;s eyes and personal assistant. In the early days he and Kinnikuman frequently quarrel with one another, usually because of Kinnikuman cowardice and/or laziness. They would also often fight over Mari Nikaidou&#039;s affection.  Meat has two older sisters, the beautiful Medium Rare (ミディアム・レアー Midiamu Reā) and the fat and ugly Kalbi Liver (カルビ・レバー Karubi Ribā).  His glasses are his weakness, whenever they are broken he ceases to function. Also, when he presses his temple a bright light shines from the Niku characters on his forehead.  In Kinnikuman Nisei, he has cryogenically frozen himself, leaving him with an unchanged appearance, so as to serve Kinnikuman&#039;s son Mantaro Muscle (Mantaro Kinniku).  He refers to Kinnikuman as Ōji (王子, Prince) (Ōji-sama (王子様) in the earlier chapters) and refers to Mantaro as Nisei (II世 Second) (Junior in the English manga).  After Meat and Mari Nikaidou&#039;s reunion, most fans consider them to be a couple, though it has yet to be seen.    wikipedia

Kinnikuman (a.k.a. Kinniku Suguru) is a cowardly, clumsy, moronic, gyuudon-devouring excuse for a superhero (or Choujin)... who just happens to be the prince of an alien planet. But despite his pathetic appearance, he is very honorable and can become quite powerful when he needs to be. With his sidekick Meat-kun and fellow Choujins Terryman and Ramenman there to help him, Suguru quests to become the greatest Choujin on the planet. Whether with a combination of tremendous heart and stamina (The Burning Inner Strength) or the "Power of Friendship", Kinnikuman frequently defeats villians 10 times more powerful than him and often causes his enemies to have a change of heart and join him. Though he seems destined to be an idiot forever, slowly but surely Kinnikuman becomes worthy of the title "Hero". 
 
Notes: 
- Between volumes 36 and 37 publication there's 22 years gap. From volume 38 onwards starts restarted in 2011 version. 
- Kinnikuman won the 30th Shogakukan Manga Award for best children's manga in 1984.

Kid Muscle (or Mantaro for short) is a bumbling, gross, and wimpy sort-of person. Unfortunately, he has been summoned to protect the earth from the evil dMp, a band of cheating wrestlers from outer space. Luckily he's not undertaking this task alone. Kid Muscle must join the Muscle League, a group of wrestlers from outer space who are training themselves so they can defend the earth, and stop the dMp by achieving "Ultimate Muscle", a hidden power that makes Mantaro an almost unbeatable opponent.
