Rikiya Katsukame

Rikiya Katsukame is one of the Eight Bullets who works under Overhaul for Shie Hassaikai.

Appearance
Rikiya is a huge, tall and very muscular man.

He wears a black tank-top with jeans and sneakers, as well as a plague mask that covers his head. He also wears massive gauntlets and knuckledusters on his fists too.

Personality
Rikiya seems to require energy to move effectively, as when he charged through the gate at the beginning of the raid, he complained how it was too early for stuff to happen. After he was temporarily captured and absorbed the energy of people around him, he declared he 'felt like a new man'.

In general, it seems Rikiya enjoys absorbing energy from others, which may simply be a byproduct of his Quirk or indicate that Rikiya is normally rather lazy.

Synopsis
When the Raid Team, consisting of Pro Heroes and Police, was about to enter the Yakuza stronghold. Rikiya broke through the front gate and began to attack them.

Rikiya fought Ryukyu, along with her interns, Nejire-chan, Uravity, and Froppy. He was defeated and restrained.

He later escaped, using his Quirk to become stronger and break the bindings. Himiko Toga in the form of Izuku Midoriya tricks the heroes into sending Rikiya crashing down to the underground tunnel where his boss is fighting. He fuses together with Overhaul, becoming a monstrous amalgam of flesh to fight Deku. After an intense battle, Eri uses her Quirk to defuse him from Overhaul and he is arrested along with the rest of the Hassaikai.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: Being an Eight Bullets member of the Shie Hassaikai, Rikiya is a very formidable individual.
 * Enhanced Strength: Even without activating his Quirk, Rikiya exhibits superhuman brawn, befitting his massive build. On two separate occasions he effortlessly burst through a wall and a locked gate, knocking several policemen into the air while doing so, and casually damaged the jamb while readying his next punch.
 * Enhanced Durability: Rikiya was able to shrug off an attack from a weakened Nejire Hado.

Quirk
Vitality Stealing: Rikiya's Quirk allows him to absorb other people's stamina. He does this by first touching the target and then inhaling their strength away from them. He can use the stolen stamina to greatly increase his size and strength.

When enhanced by Trigger, Rikiya does not have to be touching his target.

Equipment
Plague Mask: A mask that conceals his face.

Metal Gloves: Rikiya wears a pair of metal gloves on his hands to augment his punches.

Trigger: Rikiya uses this drug to enhance his Quirk so he can siphon people's stamina without needing to touch the victims.

Trivia

 * Rikiya's name contains the kanji for life (活), jar (瓶), and power (力).
 * He shares his first name, Rikiya, with Meta Liberation Army Grand Commander, Rikiya Yotsubashi.
 * Rikiya seems to represent a corruption of the third tenet of the real eight precepts of Buddhism: abstain from sexual activity.
