Profile
A giant of Elbaf, longtime friend of Kashii, turned into a demon by the Holy Knights’ covenant (Ch. 1177). Even demonized he half-remembers the friendship — attacking Kashii while grousing that Kashii “always took half” his food whenever he asked for a bite (pp. 5–6). Listed in Giants members.

Notes
- Etymology: Named after Antonio Inoki, the legendary Japanese pro wrestler, with a “Gan/Gigant” (giant) prefix — one of the “two Antonios” (the other being strongman “The Great Antonio,” whom Inoki fought in a notorious 1977 NJPW bout). Continues Elbaf’s established pattern of naming giant warriors after real pro wrestlers (cf. Goldberg, Stansen/Stan Hansen, Road, and his fellow demonized giants D.D. Tee and Rhodes).
