Emperor

The following article is lacking info.

Feel free to edit below.

**Emperor** is the leader of Team Emperor. He first appeared in Volume 3 (shown in a shadow on Gloves' phone) and is a recurring character in the *Splatoon* manga.

## Appearance

Emperor appears to be the tallest character in the series. Similar to most Inklings, Emperor has sharp teeth and pointed ears. However, instead of being rounded, his face mask has a slanted rhombus-like shape, giving him the impression of being intimidating. Emperor also has a hairstyle that differs from other Inklings that isn't available in the game and is exclusive to his character, but the hair looks most like the 'hipster' hairstyle. It has no ponytail; instead, all 6 tentacles are swept to the right and the left part of his head appears shaved. His ink and eye color are both sun yellow to match his team's motif, but he can change his tentacles’ ink color at will. He wears the Milky Eminence gear exclusive to CoroCoro Comic readers in Japan.

Starting from Volume 9 he wears a Black Velour Octoking Tee instead of his Milky Eminence Jacket, but the rest of his gear remains the same. When teaming up with Team Blue, he uses the same blue ink as his teammates.

## Personality

Emperor was known for being very prideful and cocky (and carefree like Goggles after he fought Team Blue.), leading the highly regarded Team Emperor. Though he is strict with his brother Prinz and his team's actions in battle, he does seem to care for them (and praising them when they did their best on their fight against X-Blood). During the finals match with Blue Team, he sees his team having fun and begins to doubt their battling method.

After the Square King Cup, Emperor leaves on a journey of self-growth and to train better, leaving Prinz in charge of the team. Since then, he has become more of a 'Funny Man' but maintains his arrogant air and habit of referring to himself as "The King." and calling other people [except his team] commoners. Despite these quirks, he seems to genuinely want to always improve himself, and for his team.

## Trivia

* His gear is the first set of manga-exclusive gear available. Serial codes were released in a 2018 CoroCoro magazine issue, and the codes are region-locked to Japanese copies of the game.
* He and Prince are the only characters with custom hairstyles.
* He is the older brother of Prince.
* He gave Gloves his first set of Splat Dualies [a prototype] before the events of the manga.
* Emperor refers to himself with the kanji for king. Given his and Prince's names, as well as their appearance and status, their family appears to be rich.
* When getting pantsed, Emperor's privates are censored like other characters, but unlike them who have symbols of their species, Emperor's censor is his team's symbol.
* The team naturally gathers around Emperor during team practice, even without his order.
* The parents of Emperor's teammates have known each other for a long time.
* It was stated that Emperor had won the Square King Cup four years in a row.
* Emperor takes Specs place on Team Blue due to Specs' wasp sting injuries during the Ranked Tournament Arc.
* In Chapter 23, Emperor accidentally works a Grizzco Salmon Run shift because Mr. Grizz said it would be good training and ended up being with Mask, Goggles and Gloves
* In the Volume 9 Bonus Chapter, Emperor helps out at Crusty Sean's food truck for a day. He tells Crusty Sean that new experiences are vital to becoming a greater king, both in and out of battle.
	+ Coincidentally, him working there and accidentally destroying the food truck set off the events of the Ranked Tournament arc.
* He has his own private bathroom.
