'''Jinkyo''' is a minor fictional character in the ''Dragon Ball'' universe by Akira Toriyama. [[Son Goku]] first encountered him in the [[Afterlife Tournament]] where he lost the first round match against [[Paikuhan]]. Jinkyo was a fighter from an unknown galaxy who died at some point prior to [[Age 767]].

==Biography==
Jinkyo's background is unknown. He likely lived in the [[South Galaxy]] and died sometime prior to [[Age 767]].<ref group="note">Jinkyo's home galaxy is unknown, but likely South. He could not have been from West Galaxy because [[Paikuhan]], his opponent, was from there and first round battles were between galaxies.

The battle, as depicted, was brief and Paikuhan was the winner.<ref>{{Cite episode|Series=Z|Eps=196}}</ref>

==Name==
Jinkyo's name is a reverse of the Japanese word for "giant", 巨人 (''kyoujin''), but written in ''katakana''. Unlike many of the other Afterlife Tournament characters, his name is not based on a food.

==Production==
Due to the production schedule inherent in producing a weekly anime series based on a weekly comic, the writers of ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' interjected anime-only material both as a means of extending the runtime and to flesh out the ''Dragon Ball'' universe. Jinkyo and the entire [[Afterlife Tournament]] arc was written to depict [[Son Goku]]'s experience in the afterlife prior to the time-skip and the arrival of [[Boo]].

==Notable Skills==
Jinkyo is a formidable martial artist, probably from the South Galaxy. Nothing is depicted of his fighting technique as Paikuhan makes short work of him.

==Performance==
Jinkyo is unvoiced in the series.

==Notable Appearances==
* [[Dragon Ball Z Episode 196]] - Jinkyo's only appearance to date.
