Personality[]
Shown to be very violent and cruel, Grey Rhino King was a killing machine that ruthlessly murdered both humans and robots.

Biography[]
In the first episode, Gray Rhino King exploded a truck with its driver and later infiltrated a dam. Using his powers, Gray Rhino King murdered three innocent workers and threatened the fourth one until a denim-clad person appears. Strumming his guitar, the solitary figure Jiro reveals himself as a warrior of justice, Kikaider. Fighting off all the android men, Jiro engages Grey Rhino King in combat and later uses his Side Machine to escape. Despite Grey Rhino King's speed, he found himself unable to stop his foe.
Later on, Grey Rhino King disguises himself as Dr. Komyoji to try and trick Masaru into believing himself as his father. When that didn't work, Grey Rhino King kidnaps Masaru and uses him as a trap against Jiro. Transforming into Kikaider then saving Masaru and himself from the trap, Jiro engages Grey Rhino King in combat once more. The battle ends with Kikaider using his Denji End (called The End in this episode for some reason), turning Grey Rhino King into scrap parts.
He was revived in episode 14 along with all the other Destructoids that were created before Silver Turtle to test his power. He was immediately killed by Silver Tortoise afterwards. He was revived yet again with all the Destructoids created before Multi-Colored Sand Lizard (aside from Tiny Echidna) in the movie only to be destroyed again. He later appeared in Kikaider 01 Episode 14 within a flashback.
