Kunio-Kun Wiki

Kunio (くにお?) is one of the two main protagonists of his eponymous franchise. He serves as the famous guardian of Nekketsu High School against rival schools and is the captain of the school's dodgeball team. A righteous delinquent with a strong personality, he has a heart of gold and cannot abandon those who are in trouble. He has a weakness for pretty girls, which often leads to heartbreak.

Although he is the captain of the dodgeball club, he excels at other sports and participates in many of the other sports clubs at his school as an assistant, where he displays ace-class skills that exceed the capabilities of regular club members.

Kunio's best friend and rival is Riki, the banchō of Hanazono High School. After joining forces in Downtown Nekketsu Story, the two are always seen working together as allies against a common threat, but they continue their rivalry in multiple sports competitions.

In the live-action series, he was given the full name of Kunio Fu'unji (風雲児 くにお Fu'unji Kunio?).

While practicing dodgeball with Shinichi, Kunio accidentally strikes Yōichi with the ball and recognizes him as the captain of the hockey club. Learning from him that the hockey club will be disbanded if they lose an upcoming game against Shirogane High School, Kunio agrees to help Yōichi out by playing an exhibition game between the dodgeball and hockey club. The hockey club plays poorly and are defeated, which causes the dejected Yōichi to proclaim that they simply cannot win.

Throughout the game, Kunio enlists the help of his friends within Nekketsu High School and the other schools to get the hockey club ready for the game against Shirogane.

Before the game against Shirogane High School, Yōichi begins to feel nervous about taking them on, though Kunio knocks him down to the ground and calls him a coward.

Kunio and other Nekketsu High School students take a class trip to Osaka. Upon arriving the group decides to all go to Umeda, though Kunio chooses to head to the hotel as he's tired. When playing with a second player, Kunio will meet Riki on the way to the hotel as he explains that Hanazono High School is also on a school trip and is coincidentally staying at the same hotel. Outside of the hotel Kunio is mistaken for being a Sakuramiya High School student and is attacked by a group of thugs. The group decides to retreat in the middle of the fight and Kunio continues heading to his hotel room. Kunio is eventually woken up by Kōji and Genei as they inform him that Hiroshi is currently being beaten up in the parking garage. After rescuing Hiroshi and heading back to their room, Hiroshi asks Kunio if he'd like to hangout on the following day, to which Kunio accepts the offer. Kōji, Masa and Genei then mention that Hiroshi has a date and that bringing Kunio along would be a bad idea as he may just steal his girl, though Kunio wakes up and angrily asks if they got anything they wanted to say to his face which causes them all to stop. In the morning, Hiroshi wakes up Kunio and mentions that he's been writing letters to a girl and that he promised he'd meet her at the Umeda station. While waiting for Hiroshi to return from using the bathroom at the station, Kunio spots Miho Yanagisawa run by in a panic seeking for somebody's help and decides to step in to clear out the thugs chasing after her. Upon clearing the enemies, Miho introduces himself to Kunio with Hiroshi returning immediately after. After realizing Miho was the girl Hiroshi was talking to, she explains who the Osaka Union is and that she's forming the Osaka Alliance to fight back against them. Hiroshi has mentioned Kunio in a letter to her as being someone who's never lost a fight, so Miho asks Kunio to lend them his strength. Kunio agrees to help with Miho thanking him, though she asks them to head back to the hotel before leaving as she feels guilty for getting Kunio involved.

Outside of the hotel, Kunio is grabbed from behind by Nakazaki to prevent him from fighting back as Hokuto's lackeys beat up Hiroshi. When police sirens begin to be heard, Hokuto and her lackeys flee the scene. After Hiroshi is sent to the hospital, Kunio asks if anyone has heard from Yoshihiro, in which Genei mentions that he's been feeling upset that he was unable to help Hiroshi. Kunio begins to think about his next move, though Miho arrives looking for Kunio after hearing about what happened. The two then explain who the Union is and how Hiroshi got involved with them before Kunio tells Miho that he doesn't wish to get his friends involved in the situation. Kōji, Masa and Genei all convince Kunio to get revenge for Hiroshi and assures that they'll be fine. Kunio asks Miho on what they should do next, to which Miho states that the Alliance will be having a meeting in Shinsaibashi but need to clear out the Union members blocking the path. Kunio will later return to the hotel to let Miho know the Union members in the area have been cleared out, in which she informs Kunio that the meeting will be taking place on the Shinsaibashi Bridge before leaving. Yoshihiro overhears the conversation and asks Kunio for the meeting's location as he claims he wishes to get revenge for Hiroshi as well. Kunio initially appears hesitant to respond, though eventually gives out the location. During the meeting, Kunio is introduced to the rest of the Alliance and is told of their plan to coordinate attacks against the Union across various locations. Kunio is then instructed by Saori to head out with Miho and take on Hokuto in Umeda's sewers. Ōmi states that they'll need a key in order to get inside, though Yoshihiro mentions that he coincidentally found the key while in Umeda and hands it to Kunio. After the other Alliance members have left, Kunio asks Miho to wait at the hotel as he doesn't wish for her to get in any fights. Before she leaves, Miho hands Kunio a Sakura Lining and explains that it used to belong to her older brother Masaki Yanagisawa. She explains to him that Masaki is one of the four leaders in the Union and the story of how the Union formed. Kunio asks how things turned out the way they did, to which Miho reveals that the Union's founder has recently went missing and the new head of the Union is on a power trip trying to bring all of Okaka under their control. She then apologizes to Kunio for rambling and heads back to the hotel.

Upon defeating Hokuto in the sewers, Kunio notices Urabe pop out of the door before running back into the room he was in. Kunio confronts Urabe thinking he's an enemy, though assures he's not a Union member after being continually asked if he is one. Urabe then introduces himself as a member of the Alliance and states that he was sent by Izawa to search the sewers between Shinsaibashi and Namba but was captured by the Union. Kunio then meets back up at the Shinsaibashi Bridge with Miho and Urabe where the latter is properly introduced to Kunio. Urabe asks Kunio where he's currently staying at, to which Kunio responds saying he's at Hotel Osaka, though questions why he's asking. Before getting an answer, Saori and Ōmi return in a panic and informs the group that their strategy has been leaked which lead to an ambush from the Union occurring in Namba. Ōmi then suggests that Izawa and Yoshihiro are likely being held captive by the Union. The Alliance then agree on all heading to Namba to get more information. An officer then arrives at the bridge which leads to Saori and Ōmi staying back to let Kunio, Miho and Urabe run away. Urabe scouts the area and deduces that moving through the sewers will be their only option as the police are holding down all of the other routes. Upon reaching the locked door in the sewers, Urabe will ask Miho for help on unlocking the door and then grab ahold of her as he lets some Union members pass through. Urabe then reveals that he's the second in command in Namba and that he's now apart of the Union before he leaves with Miho. After reaching the surface of Namba, Kunio confronts Urabe before facing off against Wada. Afterwards, Kunio rescues Izawa, Saori and Ōmi in the Namba Station's sewers and promises to inform the group of what happened after they escape. Later in Shinsaibashi, Kunio breaks the news that Miho was captured by the Union and that Urabe was a spy for them stating that he had a feeling that was the case. Saori asks where Miho was taken, though Kunio replies stating he's unsure which angers Izawa and leads him to attack Kunio until he is calmed down by Ōmi. Saori then suggests that Masaki may know about something about what's going on and informs Kunio that he rules over Ebisuchō. The rest of the Alliance feels reluctant in going through with the idea as they believe he'd have no interest in wanting to work with them, though Kunio states that he'll be going to Ebisuchō regardless. Yoshihiro later finds Kunio and tells him that he's managed to escape from the Union. Kunio questions what he plans on doing next, in which Yoshihiro claims that he's worried about the Nekketsu High School students and plans on returning back to the hotel.

Kunio later finds Masaki's crew in Ebisuchō's arcade and demands that he sees Masaki. His lackeys initially perceive this as a threat, though Kunio hands them a letter from Izawa that's meant to inform Masaki of Miho's kidnapping and request his help. Kunio asks for Masaki's location once again and is told that he's likely in Koshien. Kunio confronts Masaki at the Tiger Archives in Koshien and hands him the letter. Masaki grabs Kunio by the neck after reading the letter as he's unaware of who he is, though Kunio introduces himself and explains that he's working with the Alliance. He then listens to Masaki explain the Union's origins and how he dislikes what it became before asking Masaki why he chooses to still be apart of the Union. Masaki responds saying that his friends will be in danger if he defies the new leader which Kunio then mentions that Miho said the exact same thing. Feeling motivated, Masaki asks Kunio to leave Miho to him and hands him a bike key before leaving. Shortly after Masaki leaves, Kunio walks outside to the sight of some Union members waiting to attack him. The group believes that Masaki is going to get hospitalized with Yasuyuki also suggesting that Yoshihiro is likely already beating up the Nekketsu High School students at the hotel. Kunio questions why Yoshihiro would do such a thing, to which Yasuyuki reveals that Yoshihiro is the second leader of the Union and is aiming to get rid of the Nekketsu students. After clearing out the Union members, Kunio travels back to the hotel and finds a student knocked out on the floor before coming across more Union thugs. Kōji, Masa and Genei then arrive to assist Kunio in the fight against the two Union members. Upon defeating them, Kōji will tell Kunio that Yoshihiro tricked them while Masa informs him that he'll be waiting for him in Namba.

After arriving in Namba, Kunio fights a few Union thugs before he continues forward and is stopped by Wada as he reveals that Kunio fell for his trap. Wada heads back into the construction site as waves of Union goons attack Kunio. Upon clearing all the enemies, the prominent Union members step out to take Kunio on in a rematch battle at once. After defeating the Union leaders, Masaki's lackey arrives to inform Kunio that the Union is planning an attack in Ebisuchō at night and that Masaki has went out alone. Later in the night, Kunio fights off against some Union members outside of the Tsūtenkaku Tower's entrance before fighting waves of them inside the tower with the Alliance members backing him up. Afterwards, Kunio makes his way to the rooftop and eventually makes his way to Masaki where he witnesses him battle Ogura. Masaki wins the fight, though is immediately shot by Yoshihiro as he reveals himself and demands that Kunio settles things with him at the Osaka Port if he wants Miho back. Kunio checks in on Masaki and is told by him that he'll be alright and informs Kunio that he'll only be able to reach the port by bike. Masaki then asks Kunio to find Miho for him. Outside of the tower, the Alliance members tell Kunio that Yoshihiro snuck up on them from behind and ask what happened to Masaki. After being caught up on what happened, the Alliance leaves to deal with the remnants of the Union and ask Kunio to be careful. Kunio then fights his way through the port until he reaches Yoshihiro. He explains his motives in wanting to expand the Union's control into Tokyo and eventually the rest of Japan and then mentions that he transferred to Nekketsu High School in order to take Kunio out. Kunio calls Yoshihiro shameless which confuses him as he mistook Kunio for someone who also uses his strength to bend others to his will. Yoshihiro begins laughing, though Kunio continues to insult his ambitions and initiates the fight between the two.

Upon defeating Yoshihiro, he resents Kunio for exceeding his strength and believes that with Kunio's strength he would've been able to carry out his plan successfully. Kunio then lectures Yoshihiro about how power isn't to be used for controlling others and that nobody should ever get wrapped up in their own pride, as it'll always come back to bite them. Kunio is then thanked by Miho for rescuing her as they head outside of the warehouse. Miho then reunites with Masaki as the rest of the Alliance thanks Kunio for his efforts. Hiroshi and the Nekketsu High School students are also seen waiting for Kunio after hearing the news from Masaki. Kunio asks Hiroshi if he's okay, to which he responds saying that his body still hurts but he'll be fine. Masa asks what happened to Yoshihiro, though Kunio stands in silence as the group begins to reflect on Yoshihiro's actions. The group leaves after hearing the police sirens blare once again, though Kunio instead stares off into the sunrise. When asked by Miho if something was wrong, Kunio expresses that he could've turned out to be like Yoshihiro and thinks of it as something striking that they both did what they thought was right despite their differences. Miho suggests it's nothing to worry about as she believes that those are things to think about when they get older. Before catching up with everyone else, Miho asks Kunio if they'll ever meet again, to which Kunio replies that he hopes they'll be able to cross paths once again in the future.

After entering their cell, the two immediately pick a fight against the cell's proclaimed boss Gōji as they refused to follow his orders. Upon being beaten in a fight, Gōji hands the title of the cell's boss to Kunio. Later in the morning, Kunio proclaims that he's been falsely arrested to his cellmates before the two are called by a guard as Hiroshi has arrived to visit. Hiroshi begs Kunio to break out of prison and return to school as he mentions that things have changed in his absence. Hiroshi then informs Kunio that Daiki has taken control of the school and that rumors have been spreading of Misako supposedly cheating on Kunio with Daiki and a Kunio lookalike being spotted. Back in their cell, Kunio comes to the conclusion that his lookalike is the one who committed the hit and run. His cellmates try to convince him that breaking out will be impossible, though Kunio refuses to sit around and do nothing which inspires Gōji to think up of a plan to help the two break out. During the night, Gōji stands beside the cell's door while the other cellmates pretend that they've gotten food poisoning in order to have a guard check inside of their cell. When Takayama walks in to see what's going on, Gōji grabs him from behind and allows Kunio and Riki to make their escape. After reaching the prison walls, Kunio and Riki fights off a few guards before they find Hiroshi waiting for them on-top of the ladder.

Kunio finds Misako at the pool as they pass by and asks her if she knows where his uniform is before hinting towards the rumors about her. Misako claims to not be aware of what's going on and tells Kunio to look for Daiki on the top floor before heading off to run some errands. Kunio and Riki then fight their way through the school to reach Daiki. Upon reaching Daiki, Kunio is immediately angered at the sight of him wearing his uniform and throws an insult towards him. Daiki then taunts Kunio by alluding to the fact that Misako may have truly been cheating on him as Daiki claims that he's taken good care of Misako in his absence. After beating Daiki in a fight, Kunio and Riki are seen outside of the school with their uniforms on as Misako catches up with them. Kunio asks her directly about Daiki and is doubtful of Misako's claims that everything was a misunderstanding, though Riki rudely interrupts the conversation and tells Kunio that he should not be worrying about his girlfriend at the moment as they're still wanted fugitives. Misako then brings up Kyōko and the state of Hanazono High School which makes Kunio think the two schools being in turmoil only after a few days of their absence as very suspicious. Before leaving, Kunio asks Misako if she plans on tagging along, though gets ready to leave her behind she gave an unclear answer. Misako then catches up to Kunio and decides to join the two.

Kunio asks Ryūsaku if he knows about his lookalike, to which he states that he only comes by to talk to Shinji and that he was being referred to as Ken. The group then fight their way through the amusement park and eventually find Shinji at the kart tracks. Kunio attempts to ask for Ken's location, though Shinji continues to taunt him before starting a fight. After being defeated, Shinji flees the scene and Kunio spots his motorcycle. Ryūsaku then informs the group that Shinji took the highway to the Blue Emperors hideout. Upon defeating Shinji at his hideout, he warns the group that they'll end up being killed if they continue looking into Ken. Outside of the warehouse, Takayama informs the group that Sabu is the mastermind behind the entire scheme and that Ken is rumored to be Kunio's twin brother. Takayama and Mamoru explains Ken's origins to Kunio and how he became the adoptive son of Sabu which leaves Kunio in disbelief. Takayama then mentions that Ken was last seen in Roppongi, though the group struggles to get him to move as he continues to think about whether Ken being his brother is actually true. They eventually snap him out of his thinking and all head to Roppongi.

Upon arriving to the disco in Roppongi the protagonists fight against Lisa and Joe as they were ordered to kill Kunio. Lisa runs inside of the club to look for Kinji afterwards which Kunio assumes is the one who gave her their orders. Inside of the club Kunio asks around for Kinji though doesn't realize he's currently talking to him, in which Kinji tells the group he won't be able to let them leave alive. Kunio demands for Ken's location, though Kinji shows no intention of giving out his location and fights the group. After being defeated Kinji informs the group that Ken is currently at the pachinko parlor in Shinjuku. Outside of the pachinko parlor the group fights off a few yakuza goons before coincidentally spotting Misuzu who is currently frustrated at the pachinko machines. Kunio attempts to talk his way past her after being recognized, though Misuzu decides to fight against them so she can let off some steam. The protagonists fight off some more yakuza after the ordeal and eventually reach the building's offices where they find Sabu and Ken. The two continue to lie to Kunio about Ken being his older brother, though Kunio repeatedly denies having any siblings and gets angry with Ken for hurting innocent people. This leads to Sabu shooting Misako and Kyōko in front of the boys as they leave. The boys begin to panic as they watch their girlfriends pass out in their arms. The two meet Takayama and Mamoru outside of the parlor as Takayama informs them that Sabu and Ken are headed for Izu and offers to lead them there while Mamoru takes the girls to the hospital.

In Izu, Kunio and Riki thank Takayama as he leaves for all that he's done and fights off against enemies on the bridge leading to Sabu's villa. Ken burns the bridge afterwards to prevent them from continuing any further. The two fight off more waves of enemies along the water until they eventually find the entrance to a cave that they were able to use to get back up into the villa. Kunio and Riki fight their way through the villa until they're stopped by Misuzu who has since been hired by the Sanwakai as a bodyguard. Kunio asks Misuzu if she'll let them pass again, though Misuzu makes it clear that she has no intention of doing so. Following Misuzu's second defeat, the boys fight two more yakuza goons before facing off against Ken. After Ken is beaten in the fight, Kunio and Riki talk to him in his dying moments after he is shot by Sabu. Ken admits that he is not Kunio's brother and states that Sabu only adopted him to use him as a way to get revenge on Kunio for his defeat in Nekketsu Renegade Kunio-kun. Sabu activates the villa's self destruction system, to which Ken warns him to escape and wishes that he could've referred to Kunio as his actual older brother. Kunio and Riki then run after Sabu where Kunio taunts him for his ambitions which angers Sabu as he starts the fight. Upon Sabu's defeat, Kunio tells him to apologize to Ken when he arrives in Hell. After escaping from the villa, Takayama arrives to inform Kunio and Riki that any of the escaping Sanwakai members have been arrested and that Misako and Kyōko survived the gunshots. Feeling relieved at the news, the three head back to Tokyo.

Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun Special is a remake of the original Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun and acts as a reboot of the franchise starting from a new continuity. Riki Densetsu acts as a prequel to this game.

Kunio is about to begin his sophomore year in Nekketsu High School. He was recently transferred there as his previous school could not control him due to his tendency to solve any problem with violence. Upon entering the back of the school, he witnesses Yuuya and Toshio beating Hiroshi. After beating them up, he and Hiroshi become friends. This does not stop Yuuya and Toshio from still attacking Hiroshi, so Kunio beats them up again. Aware that they cannot deal with Kunio, they go to Hanazono High School to get help.


Kunio is the only character the player controls in the game. The game combines the same gameplay from the original Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun with the one from Downtown Nekketsu Story, giving Kunio a wide array of moves from both of those games.

In the Rumble gamemode, Kunio is able to use the Mach Kick and the Whirlwind Kick. In the Dodgeball gamemode, he is instead able to use the Nuts Shot and the Penetrating Shot.

Following the events of Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun Special, Tokyo has been relatively peaceful after Sabu promised to Kunio that he would keep his hands off the city following his defeat. Kunio is first seen leaving Nekketsu High School with Misako as he witnesses Sakata and Wataru Sasaki next to a knocked out Hiroshi. After making sure he was okay, Kunio runs after Sakata and Wataru to get revenge for Hiroshi. Upon defeating the two, Kunio learns from Sakata that Riki supposedly gave him orders to beat up Hiroshi. On the following day, Kunio ditches class and heads to Shinjuku to confront Riki about the situation. Hiroshi comes in during their conversation and attempts to proclaim Riki's innocence, though Riki believes Kunio isn't convinced and tells him to meet him at the vacant lot on the following day so they can fight. Kunio later meets Riki at the vacant lot as planned, though Riki notices someone hiding in the bushes and demands that they reveal themselves. Ginjishi then introduces himself to the two as a member of the Tokyo Lion Alliance and states that their group is aiming to take control over Tokyo. He then brings in Sakata and Wataru as potential candidates for bosses of the Alliance's Tokyo Crew. Following the defeat of Ginjishi, Sakata, and Wataru, Kunio accepts Riki's apology for Sakata and Wataru's actions and makes the decision to take on the Lion Alliance head-on. Kunio then demands Wataru for information on the Lion Alliance, to which he informs them of all the locations they currently have control over and that Majishi was making soon making a move on Ueno. Hearing that Majishi's gang consists of a lot of bikers, Kunio and Riki decide that it'd be best to get Shinji's help in training them against taking out bikers.

Before leaving for Yokohama, Kunio is stopped by Misako outside of Nekketsu High School as she angrily confronts him for getting himself involved in street fighting again. She questions why he chooses to get himself into risky situations, but Kunio dodges the question and instead tries to explain that he's only going up against a few punks with Riki attempting to back his sentiment up. After finding Shinji, he happily agrees to help Kunio and Riki practice and orders his boys to attack them using their motorcycles before coming out with his own bike. Kunio and Riki thank Shinji for the practice and tell him that they're headed for Ueno tomorrow, in which Shinji decides to join them as he wishes to keep the Lion Alliance off his turf. On the following day, Kunio is seen struggling with a test in class and chooses to guess the remaining answers in the last five minutes. He then leaves class to head for Ueno. After arriving in Ueno, the group faces off against some of Majishi's men on their motorcycles. The group then looks around the area of Majishi himself and get ready to give up for the day, though Majishi unexpectedly drops down and attacks Kunio unprovoked. Kunio appears shocked that he wasn't even given an introduction, though Majishi explains that it's his own way of introducing himself to others. The group then face off against Majishi and his boys after he attempted to attack Shinji. Ginjishi arrives on his bike following Majishi's defeat and attempts to deal with the situation himself, though is also bested by the protagonists. Kunio attempts to make Ginjishi realize that Shinji is worried about him, though Ginjishi ignores the comment and demands that he butts out of the conversation. He then informs the group that Benijishi is making a move on Shibuya before leaving. With the group not being comfortable with fighting against girls, Kunio appears shocked at Riki's idea of requesting the help of Misuzu but ends up agreeing to the idea regardless.

On the next day, Kunio is stopped by Kōji as he asks him to pass them the dodgeball. Kunio throws a super shot knocking Kōji and Shinichi to the ground and calls them pathetic. Shinichi asks Kunio to come to practice, though Kunio refuses the offer and heads off to Shinjuku. Upon finding Misuzu in Kabukicho, Kunio requests for her help in fighting Benijishi as he doesn't wish to fight any girls, though Misuzu takes offense to this as he's previously fought her with no issue. Not wanting to hear his excuses, Misuzu fights the group. Following the fight Misuzu appears upset at Kunio for treating her poorly, though Kunio asks again for her strength and not her whining. Misuzu then agrees to join the group and they all get ready to leave for Shibuya on the next day. The protagonists are later seen looking for Benijishi in Shibuya though struggle to find her. She eventually walks right past them, though the boys all get distracted by her looks and fail to realize that she was the one who they were looking for. After Misuzu points out to the boys that she was Benijishi, they all decide to go chase after her. Upon catching up to her, the boys each attempt to flirt with her though Misuzu once again puts a stop to it and decides to do the talking herself. Following Benijishi's defeat, Kunio checks in on her to make sure she's alright though steps back after Shishiō enters the scene. Shishiō and his bodyguards get ready to attack the protagonists, though Ginjishi arrives and convinces Shishiō to let him deal with the group instead. After being informed of Shishiō's position within the Lion Alliance, Kunio comments on how he looked tough and that it gets him pumped up. Ginjishi tells the group that they'll need to take on Ukyō and Sakyō Azuma in Asakusa if they want to fight Shishiō.

Back at Nekketsu High School on the following day, Kunio is asked by the dodgeball club once again to practice with them. Kunio agrees and plays a round with them before heading to Asakusa. Upon defeating Ukyō and Sakyō, the two inform the protagonists that they'll need to additionally fight Kinjishi in Akihabara if they wish to take down the Lion Alliance but mention that it's uncertain if he'll actually show up. On the next day, Kunio meets with Madoka at the school for guidance counseling and is asked about what he wishes to pursue as a career. Kunio chooses to not give her a straight answer and only responds saying he'd like to fight for justice. Madoka initially appears frustrated at his response, though mentions that she's been noticing him always leaving class early as of late and questions if he's getting into any trouble, however Kunio only states that it's nothing out of the ordinary. Madoka then suggests to Kunio that he joins a sports team, though Kunio states that he's too busy and will think it over when he has some downtime. Kunio then leaves the classroom to head for Akihabara.

On a first run of the game, the protagonists will run into Sakata at the electronics store attempting to impersonate Kinjishi as an attempt to con others into giving him free items within the store. Sakata attempts to fight the protagonists after having his cover blown by Riki though is easily defeated. Kunio presses Sakata for information on the real Kinjishi but mistakenly lets him run away after Sakata tricks the protagonists into thinking Shishiō has arrived. The group nearly catch up to Sakata though he is accidentally ran over by Ginjishi on his motorcycle. On a second run of the game, the protagonists will instead witness Kinjishi fight a pair of thugs on the streets until he is stopped by his secretaries as he has a meeting to attend to. Kunio decides to follow him and ends up finding him inside of the staff room of the electronics store where the group then faces off against him. Upon defeating him, Kinjishi thanks Kunio for the fight. Shinji later attempts to convince Ginjishi to leave the Lion Alliance and return to the Blue Emperors, though Ginjishi gets angry after Shinji questions if he's still upset over a prior incident. Kunio jumps into the conversation and asks Ginjishi is he's aware that friends are supposed to look out for each other, however this only further enrages him as he claims that Shinji isn't his friend. Wanting to beat some sense into him, Kunio asks the group to back off so he can fight Ginjishi alone. Following the fight, Kunio is told the story of Ginjishi's former friend in the Blue Emperors who lost his life in a motorcycle accident. Shishiō arrives shortly after and gets ready to attack the group, though Kunio agrees to flee after the other mention that they're feeling worn out. After running all the way to Shinjuku, Wataru finds the protagonists and offers to lead them to an empty apartment in Shinagawa as a hideout for them to lay low in. Kunio accepts the offer and follows Wataru.

Upon arriving at the Shinagawa Bridge, Shishiō enters the scene with his bodyguards and reveals that Wataru was working alongside him in exchange for a high ranking position within the Lion Alliance. Shishiō is ultimately defeated and is then shot by Sabu as he reveals himself to the protagonists. Kunio recognizes him and comes to the conclusion that he was the mastermind behind all that's been happening. Lee then introduces himself as Sabu's brother and orders one of his goons to bring in Madoka as a way to prevent Kunio from attacking them. Lee then mentions that he and Sabu will be waiting for Kunio's arrival in Hong Kong with Madoka attempting to convince him to call the police instead of falling into their trap. Riki additionally tries to sway Kunio into not following them to Hong Kong, though Kunio remains persistent on wanting to rescue Madoka. Later at the airport, Kunio is seen saying goodbye to the group as he gets ready to depart for Hong Kong alone as he believes that Madoka and Sabu's vendetta against him is his problem to deal with. The others express that they wish to accompany Kunio regardless which leaves him speechless and convinces him into letting the others join him. Before leaving to catch the plane, Shishiō and the rest of the Lion Alliance arrive at the airport to inform Kunio that they still plan on continuing their takeover of Tokyo as they wish to take on him and his crew once again. Kunio expresses his interest in a rematch but states that he has other business to attend to first.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Kunio demands Sabu for Madoka's whereabouts but ends up chasing after him as Sabu and Lee instead walk away. The protagonists catch up to the two at Lee's film set where he reveals that they plan on filming their beatdown as it'll make for a hit movie. Upon clearing out Lee's goons, Kunio taunts the two by saying that a movie about fighters for justice taking down yakuza goons would make for a better movie than what they initially had in mind. Sabu brushes off the comments and claims that he still has an ace in the hole, though Ginjishi shows up with Madoka rescued which leaves him shocked. Sabu gets ready to shoot Madoka, however Ginjishi jumps in front of her to block the bullet. Enraged, Kunio vows to make Sabu pay for what he did and begins the fight against him and Lee. Following the defeat of Sabu and Lee, the protagonists discover that the late friend of Ginjishi's old hub cover he was carrying blocked the bullet from ever hitting him. Madoka is then seen frustrated with Kunio for not listening to her instructions, though ends up thanking him regardless as she realizes she wouldn't have been able to stop his passion for justice.

Nekketsu Taisen Kunio-kun X[]

River City Super Sports Challenge ~All Stars Special~[]

This remake of Super-Awesome Field Day re-imagines the events of that game. The story takes place after River City: Rival Showdown.

In the story mode, Kunio is first seen alongside Momozono, Sugata and Nanase congratulating the freshmen for passing the screening for the upcoming athletic meet. Kunio decides to place Noboru Takamine as the team's backup player as he realized that they're only supposed to have six members within a team. Takamine is initially upset by this, though Kunio assures that he can become a regular member of the team if his skills improve before the tournament. Kunio then briefly introduces himself to the new members and mentions that they'll be starting special training on the following day. On the next day, Kunio arrives at the school during the evening and asks what happened as he noticed the team looked worn out. He comes to the conclusion that Reihō Academy was behind what happened and becomes angry that they did such a thing in his absence, though also recognizes that the team's weak skills will not do and decides that going through intensive training will be the right course of action. Sugata is shocked and questions if he's asking them to train right then and there, to which Kunio confirms and demands that they run ten laps around the field with him. The team then passes out on the ground after hearing his demands.

Before the first qualifying round, Kunio is seen with Sugata, Takamine, and the new freshman as they notice injured players being taken on a stretcher mentioning bombs. The others come to the conclusion that the athletic meet isn't an ordinary tournament and are then informed by Momozono that bombs have falling from the sky. Kunio disregards the bombs and decides that they should still push forwards. After the match, Nanase is blackmailed by Koshiba and Nito at the park into handing a bottle of poison to Kunio as they threaten to go after his friend Matsuda. During the second match of the qualifiers, Riki finds Kunio and mentions Sugata's injury from the day prior. Kunio states that it's only a minor injury and expresses how odd the tournament feels. Riki believes that there is more to come and warns Kunio to be careful, though Kunio jokingly tells him that he shouldn't be saying something like that to his opponent. Riki then points out how it was pointless for him to worry and the two wish to have an honorable match against each other. With Hanazono High School beaten, Kunio is seen celebrating with the team and is suddenly handed the bottle of poison by Nanase disguised as a girl. Thinking that this was only a gift from a fan, Kunio taunts Hayato Ichijō for being able to receive gifts due to his popularity and takes a drink from the bottle. Kunio confusingly watches Ichijō run off after the girl due to his jealously. Shortly after leaving the school, Kunio and the new freshman witness Wataru being beaten up by Reihō students and manages to dissolve the situation. Kunio asks Wataru what he's doing and mentions that it would've been a better match with him present, to which Wataru appears shocked and disappointed that Riki lost the match. Unsure of what's going on, Kunio asks Wataru to stop bothering Riki before leaving.

From this point, Kunio is hospitalized due to the poisonous drink we was given though his team outside of Nanase is unaware of this. With everyone confused on his whereabouts, Tōdō makes a sudden change to the tournament's rules requiring that the team's captains are required to participate in the upcoming match and that teams without one will be disqualified. Tōdō then shows up to Nekketsu High School's booth and warns them that their team will have to be eliminated within the next five minutes after noticing Kunio was absent. With the team in a panic, Momozono decides that they'll need to select a new captain with the rest of the team all agreeing on appointing the new freshman. During the ending of the first match, Momozono informs the team of Kunio's condition. Later on, Hiroshi and the new freshman pass through the park onto the way to the hospital to visit Kunio, though they are stopped by Tōdō as he orders Ryūichi and Ryūji to attack the two. Nanase jumps in to back them up immediately while Hiroshi runs to alert Kunio of the situation. Throughout the fight a recovered Sugata and Kunio arrive as additional support. After the fight Kunio thanks Nanase for his efforts, though he looks away disappointed in himself as he explains to the team that he was the one responsible for hospitalizing Kunio and apologizes to them. Kunio expresses how he wishes to reveal what's going on right away, though decides that it'd be better for them to pay back Reihō Academy in the tournament. Nanase begins to apologize once again, though Kunio stops him and jokingly states he planned on going on a diet anyway. He then asks Nanase to stop feeling so down and to instead focus on beating Reihō.

During the semi-finals Kunio is seen with Sugata, Momozono and the new freshman as they discuss the remaining teams participating in the tournament. Having heard that Hanazono High School and the School Union are still in the tournament, Kunio playfully suggests that they go tease them as they won't be able to bear being defeated. Kobayashi, Reika Gojōin and Takashi Onizuka then return to gloat about their respective team's strengths which angers Momozono and gets Takamine to think about how their teams were previously undefeatable. Kunio thinks lightly of the situation and believes that they've all gotten stronger since then and that it'll be good payback for what happened during their practice match. After the match Kunio is seen celebrating their victory with Sugata and the new freshman as he points out how much stronger he's gotten in his absence. Kunio and the new freshman then meet up with Riki and Tsuyoshi Gōda at the School Union's booth and notices that it's been destroyed. After being informed of what happened, Riki asks if Nekketsu High School is participating in the finals, to which Kunio confirms that their team is still in. Riki then asks Kunio to not get defeated by Reihō, in which he responds by telling Riki to stop worrying about others and instead worry about his own team.

Before the finals the team is seen discussing Reihō Academy's remaining participants. Kunio optimistically notes the remaining teams as being a headache, though Hasebe suddenly enters the conversation as she went to see Kunio after hearing he was hospitalized. Hasebe expresses that she's glad Kunio is back in a healthy state and then mentions she was kicked out of the tournament's broadcasting room after suspecting something was off and was looking to prevent Tōdō from meddling with the tournament any further. She then states that Ryūichi and Ryūji has seemingly already dealt with Tōdō for the final game and notes that they didn't look like they were kidding about having a fair competition for the final game. With Kunio feeling pumped up, Hasebe begins to think that her worrying was needless and asks him to cheer up before leaving. Following the finals, Nekketsu High School is announced as the tournament's winners with Kunio crediting the new freshman as being half the reason for their team doing so well. Nanase appears confused and questions who the other half is, to which Kunio admits that he was referring to himself. With the tournament coming to a close, Kunio is then seen walking home with Hiroshi and the new freshman as they reflect on how chaotic things turned out to be.

During the secret exhibition match, Kunio is seen with Hiroshi, Kenichi Morimoto, and the new freshman discussing an invitation they received from Tobioka challenging Nekketsu High School's team against his own team. Kunio initially is suspicious of the invitation, though after hearing of the other participating teams he notes them as being names he's heard of in the past and happily decides to accept Tobioka's challenge. With Tobioka, Tōdō and Yamada's ulterior motives falling apart following Nekketsu's victory in the secret match, Kunio is seen walking home with the rest of the team as he stops and personally thanks the player for playing the game. Kunio then catches up with the rest of the team as Momozono warns him that they'll miss the train.

Kunio appears as the captain of Nekketsu High School's team and additionally as a captain for the Nekketsu Dodgeball Club team, the Historical Drama team in the role of Kunimasa, and the Nekketsu Magical Story team in the role of Kounie.

River City: Rival Showdown[]

River City: Rival Showdown is a remake of Downtown Nekketsu Story. The game takes place before River City Super Sports Challenge ~All Stars Special~.

Kunio is walking through Yumemicho at night getting ready to head home until he is ambushed by Ryūichi and Ryūji. The cops are called shortly after and the Dragon Twins flee the scene. Hiroshi and Sugata arrive and inform Kunio of the rumor spreading around about the twins. The next day, Kunio is told by Hiroshi that the Dragon Twins are students that recently transferred to Reihō Academy, to where he then begins his investigation into the matter. Kunio proceeds to spend the next three days finding answers for who the big players are, what Reihō's end goal is, and the identity of the mastermind behind it all.

Kunio eventually discovers his old middle school friend Yamada was the one controlling everything behind the scenes. On the fourth day, Kunio heads off to Reihō to put a stop to Yamada's plans with Riki joining in to rescue his girlfriend Mami. After fighting their way through the school facing off against each of Reihō's Big Four, Godai, and the Dragon Twins, Kunio then defeats Yamada in a fight on the rooftop.

River City Melee: Battle Royal Special[]

Battle Royal Special makes many references to previous games in the franchise. Although the game states that it takes place right after ~All Stars Special~, the game is probably not in continuity, as it contradicts many things from the new continuity started with Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun Special.

After the end of the previous athletic meet, a new tournament was announced. There have been rumors of frequent attacks against students in other schools. Some believe that these attacks are related to the tournament. Believing that something suspicious is brewing, Kunio asks Sugata to put together a team once more. Sugata angers Kunio, as once again he gathers the same team of freshmen, although Sugata simply was unable to gather any seniors again. According to the rumors Kunio has heard, the attackers bear a resemblance to the Tiger Brothers, but as Kunio has previously fought them and personally knows them, he doubts it.

Kunio and his team eventually defeat all their opponents and get to face the Tiger Brothers, though he is sure that they are not involved with the attacks, he and the Tiger Brothers don't care and are only interested in fighting each other. Toraichi is aware that Kunio's teammates want answers, while Toraji considers them weak. After they defeat the Tiger Brothers, Kunio's teammates realize that it is impossible for the the Tiger Brothers to have been the attackers, though even they are unaware of who could have done it. Kunio then promises to clear their names. After the Tiger Brothers leave, Sumi of Wu Wonfu arrives, annoying Kunio and the others due to his slow arrival.

Sumi reveals that he is responsible for the attacks near Nekketsu High School, as he and Kunio go way back. Though Kunio claims he has never met him, and due to the story taking too long and Sumi being annoying, Kunio decides to fight him immediately. After his defeat, Sumi reveals that a colleague of the friend of the brother of the wife of the brother of his friend was once defeated by Kunio. For this reason alone, he sought to destroy Kunio and Nekketsu once and for all. Kunio and his teammates want real details behind the attacks though, and that's when Tsubaki, the leader of Wu Wonfu, and it's remaining members of the group arrive.

Tsubaki explains Wu Wonfu's objective to Kunio and his teammates, but the real mastermind is Yūji Munakata, an old enemy of Kunio who wanted revenge for his previous defeat, though Kunio barely remembers him. Yuji created the tournament for the sole reason to get back at Kunio and Riki. This annoyed Kunio, as he would have agreed to a simple one-on-one fight. Kunio's team is given the choice to be crippled or become loyal to Wu Wonfu, should they lose.

After Kunio defeats them, Yuji learns of the source of Kunio's strength and realizes that he cannot beat him. Yuji and Wu Wonfu leave, but not before Tsubaki reveals that his series of books are part of the reward for winning the tourney. Nishino, the master of ceremonies, then arrives with the books. Although Nanase and Morimoto have no problems with the books, the others are enraged. Nanase and Morimoto leave with Nishino before things get dangerous, as Kunio and the remaining members are pissed at the book's content. They chase after Wu Wonfu to get revenge.

Kunio also appears in the stories of other teams. He, along with Wu Wonfu, acts as the leader and final boss for the Outlaw team. However, this turned out to actually be Matsudo.

River City Girls []

River City Girls takes place in River City, but uses characters from the Kunio-kun franchise. The game is a spin-off and is not part of the continuity that started with Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun Special. It is also the fourth game in the franchise (the other three are Downtown Nekketsu Baseball Monogatari: Yakyū de Shōbu da! Kunio-kun, Riki Densetsu and River City Super Sports Challenge ~All Stars Special~) in which Kunio is not the main character.

The hot-blooded tough guy with a good heart and Misako's boyfriend. He has been in multiple fights and sports competitions, which has made him an infamous hero. He is voiced by Greg Chun in the game. In the game's opening intro and in the first cutscene once players begin the game, it is revealed that Kunio has been kidnapped along with Riki. His girlfriend Misako and her best friend Kyōko, Riki's girlfriend, run around River City beating up local thugs and searching for clues to rescue them.

Misako and Kyoko eventually reach Sanwakai Tower and defeat Sabuko, kicking her out the window of the tower's top floor. Misako and Kyoko crash into the bath house and lose track of Sabuko. While trying to find her, they stumble on Kunio and Riki taking a bath in the sauna. Upon being discovered and scolded, Kunio and Riki proceed to ignore Misako and Kyoko, referring to them as "those crazy girls" and not even knowing what their names are. He and Riki wonder what Hasebe and Mami are doing for the night. This leads Misako and Kyoko to uppercut them through the broken roof of the sauna into the stratosphere.

Unlocking the newer 1.1 secret ending via the appropriate tasks instead allows Kyoko and Misako to defeat Hasebe and Mami and upon crashing into the bath house, encounter the boys once more. This time, Riki and Kunio have no apparent feelings towards Hasebe and Mami and instead offer to take Kyoko and Misako out on a burger date. Both are still offended at the idea of having been kidnapped.

Once the game is completed once, Kunio and Riki are unlocked for use in the save file where the game was completed. Both start at level 1 and need to learn all of their moves, just like Misako and Kyoko. The game, however, does not change story-wise and acts as if they are not present in the fighting.

River City Melee Mach!![]

In this game, Kunio's Mach Kick is upgraded to the Mach Kick A. Kunio performs a Mach Kick II in the same style as Rival Showdown. The player can follow it up with a jumping soccer kick by pressing the punch button after the final kick. This time, when he performs the Nuts Shot, the thrown item turns into a dodge ball. Finally, the Fireball Spike is now identical to Bikkuri Nekketsu Shin Kiroku! Harukanaru Kin Medal.

If Kunio grabs the soccer ball in the soccer court stage, he can perform the Nuts Shot when he kicks the ball. This is not listed in his Special Moves.

Kunio has a slight increase in Agility and Strength in this game.

In Kunio's Arcade story, he is sent to the principal's office at Nekketsu High School and is scolded for his countless truancies and suspensions before he realizes that the person speaking isn't actually the principal. Kunio gets ready to attack Hyperion with a chair, though Hyperion decides that he's a perfect fit for his tournament and teleports Kunio into his world.

When Kunio comes across Riki, he appears confused that he's also participating the tournament. Riki is interested in showing Kunio how strong he really is, to which Kunio laughs off the comment and begins to fight. Upon finding Tunestone, he's confused that a student is participating in the tournament and questions if Kunio should be at school, though Kunio questions if Tunestone should be having skin, which leads to an awkward pause before Tunestone admits that he doesn't have a comeback. On the final fight, Hyperion is impressed by Kunio's strength but believes that it still won't be any match for him. Kunio warns Hyperion that he hasn't seen what he's capable of yet.

During the ending, Kunio stands over a defeated Hyperion and threatens a further beating, though Hyperion admits defeat and begs to not be beaten up any further. With Kunio now being granted a wish, he decides to take Hyperion back home and host a dodgeball tournament against him. Kunio defeats Hyperion's team with ease in the tournament.

Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun Gaiden River City Girls[]

Kunio was to be played by Ryotaro Kosaka, though the play would be cancelled due to one of the cast members testing positive for COVID.[4]

Localized versions[]

  • In Renegade, Kunio was changed to a nameless vigilante who had to rescue his girlfriend from a gang of thugs. The NES version of the game gives him the name Mr. K.
  • In the NES version of Super Dodge Ball, Kunio was named Sam, a captain of Team USA.
  • In River City Ransom, Kunio is known as Alex. His full name is expanded to Alex Kun in River City Ransom Underground.
  • In Crash 'n the Boys: Street Challenge, Kunio was named Jeff "Crash" Cooney, a captain of Team Southside High School.

Trivia[]

  • He is named after Technōs Japan's former president, Kunio Taki.
  • Kunio has no surname. The closest he has had to a surname is Oyama, due to second Oyama brother in Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone being named Kunio. In the TV drama, he is given the surname Fu'unji (風雲児).
  • Kunio is the only character whose name was not mixed up in Nintendo World Cup.
  • Kunio's birthday is on November 27, the same as Bruce Lee. Kishimoto choose this date in order to pay homage to Lee[5].
  • Kunio can be considered Nekketsu High's Banchō (番長), a Japanese term used to call the leader of a juvenile delinquent gang. This can be noticed due to the fact most of his schoolmates often look up to him (examples include Hiroshi and Sugata), and is always the captain of the Nekketsu High sports team in every respective game. Also, the typical image of a banchō is an uncouth fighter who has a strong sense of honor.
  • The character Yusuke Urameshi from the anime and manga series Yu Yu Hakusho bears a resemblance to him. Yusuke's personality is similar to Kunio's as well.
