This is a list of fictional characters appearing in the Japanese manga series ''One-Punch Man'' by One. ==Main characters== ; : :: Hero name: : The main protagonist of the story. Saitama is a powerful hero who easily defeats any opponent with a single punch. He is a slender muscular man currently at the age of 25 and is bald, supposedly due to his excessive training. Saitama has always been heroic, saving the innocent from the mysterious beings that appear in his world, however, he never receives any credit for it, though he eventually joined the Hero Association and has since risen up to class A rank 39. After defeating so many without effort, he feels bored and empty inside, endlessly searching for opponents who will actually pose a challenge to him. He is despised by members of the Hero Association and normal people, the former because he takes fame and credibility away from them by defeating enemies so easily (especially ones who have defeated multiple high level heroes) and the latter because of his total lack of heroic nature (he doesn't care about public opinion or property damage). Despite this, Saitama is shown to have far more moral fiber than most heroes in the series and his lack of desire for fame allows him to make far better choices, such as when he disguises himself as a policeman to defeat a monster that wreaked havoc in a police station and caused people to lose faith in the police. : Saitama wears a yellow tracksuit with a small zip and a belt during his hero activities. He also wears red boots and gloves. When he is in casual wears, Saitama often wears a hoodie that says "oppai" ("boobs" in romanized Japanese), with a stylized drawing of a pair of breasts underneath. : Prior to the beginning of the series, Saitama was an ordinary school kid back in middle school. When a teacher asked Saitama to come into the teacher's office to scold him for not doing some of his homework, he was confronted by bullies who demanded his money. Saitama didn't care about being bullied, and he was actually poor like those bullies. When a piggy bank monster attacked the bullies and stole Saitama's money from them, one bully regretted his action, revealing he just wanted to feed his sick brother. Saitama's heroism was awakened for the first time, and he chased after the monster to get the money back. Though he did his best, Saitama was not powerful enough to beat the monster. As an adult, he is an unemployed salaryman who became depressed after many rejections. One day, Saitama saved a child from a monster. This action spawned two major consequences: the child's powerful relative created the Hero Association, and Saitama decided to become a hero on a whim, based on the heroes from his childhood. After training every day for three years with an "inhuman" workout routine of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and running 10 kilometers per day, he gained superhuman strength and speed and lost his hair. Although Saitama believes his strength is a result of everyday workouts, everyone who hears of his methods, including Genos, find it to be a ludicrous idea; later in the series, Dr. Genus from the House of Evolution theorizes that all living creatures have natural limiters and that Saitama's strength came after removing his own. It is shown in his fight with Lord Boros that he constantly holds back his true strength so as to make fights last longer, but when he gets serious his attacks can cause tsunamis and inter-continental shock waves. : He is initially ranked low in C-class due to him barely passing the hero exam. Upon helping with some mysterious beings, stopping the giant meteor in Z-City and defeating the Sea-King, he is advanced to the lowest rank in B-class. Prior to encountering Garou, Saitama's rank remains at B-Class Rank 7. After his encounter with Garou he is advanced to A-Class rank 39. : According to Genos, Saitama's true potential does not lie within his appearance, but in the way he did his best on training himself to become a true superhero caused him to receive his own super strength after three years of training for a greater good, which is the reason why most of many heroes and civilians who came across with him during his battle with the villains, praise not only his ability, but also his pure heroic deeds. ; : :: Hero name: : Genos is a cyborg who decided to become Saitama's disciple after bearing witness to Saitama's easy victory over Mosquito Girl. While Saitama was adamantly against his decision, he accepted after Genos suggested paying part of his rent. Genos tells Saitama about the Hero Association when he hears Saitama's complaints about not being recognized despite his actions, and they both decide to take the official hero exam and become registered super heroes. Genos is often overzealous and defensive when Saitama is not recognized by the other heroes for his feats. : Genos is in S-Class at Rank 14 and one of the first individuals who attained S-Class rank via the entry exams. He becomes an S-class hero after getting a full score on both the written test and physical test. Saitama breaks the previous physical test records by a huge margin but does abysmally on the written portion and only earns a C-class ranking. : Before meeting Saitama, Genos was a normal, happy boy who lived with his family. One day when Genos was 15, a crazy cyborg destroyed Genos' town, killed his family, and left Genos alive and severely wounded. , a doctor of justice, found Genos and modified him into a cyborg at Genos' request. From then on, Genos fought for justice while searching for the cyborg who destroyed his town. After the defeat of Boros' army, he was warned by Engine Knight to be careful with Metal Knight and notes that Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask reminds him of his former-self prior to having met Saitama. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of One-Punch Man characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
