Summary
Kunio is the main/titular protagonist of the Kunio-kun (also known as River City) video game series created by Technos Japan (currently owned by Arc System Works). He serves as the guardian of Nekketsu High School against rival schools and is the captain of his school's dodgeball team, although he excels at other sports (such as soccer and hockey). Despite his roughed-up appearance and scowl, he is deemed a nice person who helps those in need of it.
