The Maruhage Empire Four Heavenly Kings (マルハーゲ四天王, Maruhage Shitenou), also known as the (マルガリータ四天王, Marugarīta Shitenou) in the anime and the Chrome Dome Big Four in English dub, are a group of characters from the manga and anime series, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.
Background
Taking orders directly from Tsuru Tsurulina IV himself, these four are the most powerful Hair Hunters in the empire, below only to the emperor and his right-hand men. These elite members rule from specific locations throughout the empire (excluding Purupu, who travels around the world on his own). While extremely powerful in themselves, each of these four have a vast team of warriors under their command, similar if not more effective than an average Hair Hunter. The loyalty of these four vary from member to member: while powerful and evil members such as Purupu and OVER have no mercy in either killing or in ripping hair out and are extremely loyal to the Empire, Halekulani is more concerned with his own profits and in making as much money as possible. On the other hand, Gunkan, while seemingly loyal to the 4th, finds his own ulterior motives in taking out enemies to the empire as well as Hair Hunters.
