Background
Dark Yasha
Initially appearing as a serious older man in a kimono, this warrior becomes Bo-bobo's main opponent in the death battle arena "Bottle Edge" (filled with giant water bottles) in the first true stage of the journey to Maruhage Castle. Manipulating "Dokuro Shinken" (ドクロ真拳 Fist of Skulls), he has various abilities including the ability to create fighting skeletons, manipulate a skull sword or place a special seal that forces an opponent's bones out of their body. Furthermore, he can further transform into a demonic form using a special "Skull Sake" (Skull Juice in the anime). But even if he loses with these abilities, his true form is revealed.
Sambaman
A round bizarre-looking creature, who is Dark Yasha's true form. Sambaman's attacks cause anyone who hears and/or witnesses them to begin dancing. He also has a special juice which is supposed to make people ugly, but it ends up turning Bobobo and Don Patch into fruits, and Tokoro Tennosuke into a pizza delivery man. Eventually, when he is defeated, he asks to join Bo-bobo's team, to which Bo-bobo responds by strapping him to a rocket, sending him into space.

Trivia
- Being a white-haired male with an aggressive personality, and a nonsensical transformation makes him similar to OVER (and later Shiryuen Kamara). Whether or not there was any connection between them, was never revealed.
- For some reason, Dark Yasha's name is never said in the English dub of anime.
