Emperor

Emperor is a male inkling from the Splatoon manga, he is the leader of Team Emperor and has a sun yellow ink colour.

Appearance
Emperor wears the Eminence Cuff, Milky Eminence Jacket, and Milky Enperrials.He wears an identical outfit to his younger brother Prince. His main weapon is the Enperry splat dualies. He is older than most of the main characters. Emperor appears to be the tallest character in the series. Similar to most Inklings, Emperor has sharp teeth and pointed ears. However, instead of being rounded, his face mask has a slanted rhombus-like shape, giving him the impression of being intimidating. Emperor also has a hairstyle that differs from other Inklings that isn't available in the game and is exclusive to his character. It has no ponytail; instead, all 6 tentacles are swept to the right and the left part of his head appears shaved. His ink and eye color are both sun yellow to match his team's motif, but he can change his hair color at will. He wears the Eminence Cuff, Milky Eminence Jacket, and Milky Enperrials (all of which are exclusive to CoroCoro readers in Japan. He wears an identical outfit to his younger brother Prince. His main weapon is the Enperry splat dualies

In book 9 ,he wears a Black Velour Octoking Tee instead of his coat, but the rest of his gear remains the same. When teaming up with Blue Team, he uses the same blue ink as his teammates.

Personality
He is well known for getting 99.99% in a Turf War and leading the highly regarded Team Emperor. Emperor was known for being very prideful and cocky (calling lesser players 'peasants') but is carefree like Goggles after he fought team blue, leading Team Emperor. Though he is strict with his brother Prince and his team's actions in battle, he does seem to care for them (and praising them when they did their best on their fight against x blood). During the finals match with Blue Team, he sees his team having fun and begins to doubt their battling method.

After the Square King Cup arc, Emperor leaves on a journey of self-growth and to train better, leaving Prince in charge of the team. Since then, he has become more of a 'funnyman' but maintains his arrogant air and habit of referring to himself as "the king." and calling others commoners. Despite these quirks, he seems to genuinely want to improve himself, for both himself and his team.
