Monster

Despite his name, Monster is the epitome of the handsome leading man. Early on in his career he was cast as a bit of a "bad boy" - good looking but a bit uncouth and rough around the edges - in protagonist roles such as heroes of the jungle or the wild west. However, in his later appearances he is cast in the much more traditional roles of a sophisticated leading man, as urban movie star, handsome love interest or secret agent.

Seki, Gohonmatsu

As a hopeless drunk with a heart of gold, and a head of stone, Gohonmatsu is perfectly cast as the unlikeliest of heroes. His "rough around the edges" makes him an everyman archetype.
