*I’m just a guy who's a hero for fun.*
—Saitama
**Saitama**, also known as **Caped Baldy**, is the main protagonist of the *One-Punch Man* series. He appeared in the fifth episode of DBX, Saitama VS Kenshiro, where he and Genos fought against Kenshiro from the *Fist of the North Star* series. He returned for the 87th episode and Season 5 Finale, Superman VS Saitama, where he fought against Superman from *DC Comics*.

## History

Saitama was once a regular ordinary salaryman with no life ambition. All that changed when Saitama found a child about to be attacked by a monster, before defeating it with just his necktie. After this incident, Saitama set out to become a mighty superhero, starting a daily training schedule which consisted of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and a 10km run. For breakfast, he only ate a banana, and never used the air conditioner to strengthen his mental resistance. These daily activities were extremely tough and caused his body excruciating pain. However, Saitama did not give up and continued his training day after day.

Being born with no talent or potential, Saitama removed his Limiter through sheer effort, achieving immeasurable strength, but at the cost of losing his hair. Although Saitama wanted to be a hero for fun, he found his overwhelming power and ability to end every fight in a single punch alienating, leaving him unable to find joy in any fight. After meeting the cyborg Genos, the two would join the Hero Association and become professional heroes, which would lead Saitama to face increasingly dangerous foes, while receiving barely any credit for it. As the threats against the world increase everyday, Saitama hopes for an enemy to appear that can give him the fighting thrill he deeply craves.
