Character Profile: Recoome

Rikuum was a member of the Ginyu Tokusentai, and the second-strongest of the group, next to Ginyu himself. He was a burly, stocky human-like being with a shock of red hair atop an otherwise bald head, and a goofy expression on his face. Rikuum possessed incredible physical strength, as well as an uncanny ability to shrug off almost any attack, even a savage blow to his privates.

The second of the Ginew Tokusentai to fight, Rikuum took on Vegeta and easily beat him. Next, he took out Kuririn with one kick. Gohan proved much more resistant and put up quite a fight, but soon even he fell before the mighty Rikuum. However, Rikuum's winning streak came to a crashing halt with the arrival of Goku, who knocked him cold with one blow to the stomach. Later, Rikuum was finished off by Vegeta, who blasted his prone body to dust.

Recoome is a large, muscular, humanoid alien with orange hair. He is the most flamboyant member of the Ginyu Force, seen striking poses more often in battle than Captain Ginyu himself, and generally behaving in a deceptively goofy manner. Recoome practiced dance, which is how he got his agility and various battle poses. His signature move is the Eraser Gun.

Probably the most loyal of the Ginyu Force, Recoome was the second member to fight, and he brought the pain to his opponents. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, Recoome is an excellent battle technician with plenty of flashy moves and poses. After he beat the crap out of Vegeta and defeated Krillin with one kick, he nearly killed Gohan. Goku landed on the planet Namek saving the three warriors. Goku had progressed through his training so well that all it took was one elbow shot to Recoome's mid-section to take all the wind out of the big goon. Moments later when Recoome was still grounded Vegeta blasted and killed him. Recoome had battles on the other side but never seemed to win again.
