Baki The Grappler Has a Long History With US Presidents
Feb 25, 2025
More than on American President has appeared in the controversial series Baki.
Baki The Grappler has been in the news lately thanks to an eye-popping moment. Traditionally, Baki’s father, the villainous Yujiro Hanma, has a meeting with a new United States administration, as the West seeks to broker peace with the strongest creature alive. In the latest manga chapter, current President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk met with Yujiro in a moment that “broke the internet.” This latest meeting is far from the first time that Baki Hanma has gotten political as both the original manga and the anime adaptation have brought in its fair share of real-world political figures. Luckily, we’re more than happy to highlight some of the biggest figures of the bunch.

The last time we saw Baki Hanma on the small screen, it was thanks to Netflix and TMS Entertainment. The “Father-Son War” finally showed Baki achieving his number one dream in defeating his own father in hand-to-hand combat and thus claiming the title of world’s strongest creature. While it might be some time before we see the meeting between Yujiro, Trump, and Musk, Netflix is currently working on a new season of the anime to release in the future.
George W. Bush
Perhaps the U.S. President who appears the most in Baki The Grappler’s anime is “George Bosch,” a stand-in for 43rd President George W. Bush. In one scene, Bosch is forced to act as a chauffeur to Yujiro Hanma as the Ogre stated that the fictional president “ran his country as bad as he drove.” Later in the series, Baki even goes so far as to kidnap the President to make sure that he’ll be sent to prison to fight against Mr. Unchained, aka Biscuit Oliva. Luckily, the fictional President survived the Hanma bloodline and handed off the reins of the White House to our next featured President.
