The leader of the Seven Akuma Choujin and the Devil Knights. His true identity is that of the former Celestial Realm (天上界,, Tenjou-kai^?) ruler Goldman (ゴールドマン, Goldman^?), the God of Battle (戦いの神,, Tatakai no Kami^?). He frequently quarreled with his little brother Silverman (the other Celestial Realm ruler) and the two eventually engaged in a sword battle, a battle which ended with the two of them simultaneously cutting each others head off. His soul was placed inside the Golden Mask (黄金のマスク,, Ougon no Masuku^?) and many years later alligned himself with Great Demon King Satan (大魔王サタン, Daimaou Satan^?) and became Akuma Shogun.

With his finishing move, Hell's Nine Point Seal, he attacks the nine vital points of the Choujin body. His trademark Hell's Guillotine is part of this, attacking the neck. He obtains his flesh body when the Devil Knights unite undeneath his mask. He has the ability to freely alter the hardness of his body, from a Choujin Hardness (超人硬度,, Choujin Koudo^?) level of 10 (the highest in the Choujin world), known as Diamond Body (ダイヤモンドボディ, Diamond Body^?), to Choujin Hardness 0, Snake Body (スネークボディ, Snake Body^?). Coupled with the fact that no body exsists within his armor, there are very few techniques that can actually harm him.

Submitted by a fan as Vikingman (バイキングマン, Vikingman^?).

[edit] Story

Long ago, two gods, Goldman and Silverman (gods of war and peace) were asked who was stronger, and in the resulting conflict everything of their bodies were destroyed but their heads, which became the Gold and Silver Masks, sacred relics of the Kinniku Tribe. Goldman made a bargain with the devil for a body with which he would kill heroic choujin. (more to come)

As Akuma Shogun, he became leader of the Devil Knights (Ashuraman, Sunshine, The Ninja, Junkman, Planetman, Sneagator, and a revived Buffaloman).

Later on, in Kinnikuman Nisei, Ashuraman attempted to revive him. However, before he is about to be fully revived, Ashuraman has a change of heart as a result of his match with Mantaro, and destroys Akumas Shogun.
