Kabukicho Shitenno ("银tama")
In the works, the four kings of Kabukicho were originally Noboru's mother-in-law, Jiro Nishimizu, Saigo Temori, and Hua Tuo. Their combined forces dominated the entire kabukicho. For a long time, Kabukicho has maintained a relatively stable relationship due to the balance of power between each other, but in the plot, because of someone's conspiracy, the whole kabukicho has fallen into a scuffle. Although there were no dead in terms of results, after this battle, the distribution of power also changed, becoming the new four kings of Sakata Ginshi, Shimura Myō, Tomi and Kuroma Katsuo.
Tokyo Four Heavenly Kings (The Way of the Iron Fist)
The so-called Four Kings of Tokyo are made up of maeda, Onizuka, Yakushiji, and Kasai. Among the works, they are the most capable characters in Tokyo. In terms of their respective regions, they are divided into "Maeda of Kichichiji", "Onizuka of Shibuya", "Yakushiji temple of Asakusa", and "Kasai of Ikebukuro". The protagonist Maeda did not know at first that he had been elected to the Four Heavenly Kings, but when he learned of this, he still looked very happy.
Four Kings of the Food House (The Prisoner of Food)
The so-called Four Heavenly Kings of the Food House are Ayu, Coco, Sani and Zebra. All of them grew up under the tutelage of IGO President Ichiryu. The Four Heavenly Kings all possess unique abilities, and whether in terms of smell, sight, hearing or touch, their abilities ensure that they can have a status beyond ordinary people.
The Four Sacred Beasts (The White Book of Youyou)
Since ancient mythology, the Four Sacred Beasts have always referred to Xuanwu, White Tiger, Green Dragon and Suzaku. In this work, the Four Sacred Beasts are the inhabitants of demon streets, and they are also the most vicious criminals. Although the spirit world imprisoned them in the labyrinth city, the four sacred beasts sought to live in the human world and began to threaten the spirit world. As the leader of the Suzaku, he has the ability to manipulate humans freely, and can be said to be the culprit who has thrown the world into chaos.
Otokojuku Tenno (Kai!! Otokojuku(S)
Death is pronounced the same as four, but because it is in such a work, it changes from four heavenly kings to death kings. The members of the Male Death King are Swastika, Shadow Qing, Luocha and Senkaku. All of them are proficient in boxing and are the seniors of the protagonist, Kentotarō. Originally, in the plot, they were suspected to have died in battle, but later reappeared at the "Heavenly Pick Five Rings Great Martial Society" and became the protagonist's companion.
Cromartie Four Heavenly Kings (Que!) Tianbing College"
The members of the Cromartie Four Heavenly Kings are Katsura Iga, Koto Fukutomi, Yori Yori, Jiro Minzan, and Masahiro Nochi. Obviously, he was the King of the Four Heavens, but there were five of them. And everyone looks at it with a rock 'n' roll style feel. It can be said that it is a bunch of weirdos.
Generally speaking, the Four Heavenly Kings will appear in front of the protagonist as strong enemies, and also assume important roles in the work. So when it comes to the Four Heavenly Kings in anime, who do you think of?
