Biography
Big Mama was a female member of the Yōkai race that had existed on Earth for countless eons. She came to be an inhabitant of the Hidden City where she rose to power as a powerful criminal who headed the Battle Nexus fight arena. At the same time, she maintained a hotel on the surface among humans where her and her followers were able to disguise themselves to operate among mankind. She eventually became a rival and enemy of the scientist Baron Draxum with the two frequently fighting one another. posed as a truck driver tasked with hauling Lou Jitsu's filming trailer. She met Lou Jitsu on the set of Crouching Shrimp Hidden Tiger Prawn one day and the two shared a mutual attraction towards one another and eventually began dating. After being proposed to by him at Dinner on the Green sometime later, Big Mama revealed her true Yōkai nature to Lou Jitsu by dropping her human disguise and stole him away to the Hidden City. Observing his great skill in combat motivated Big Mama to force him to become a competitor in her Battle Nexus, hoping the battles she arranged for him would generate large profits from spectators. Lou Jitsu was massively successful in her Battle Nexus and retains the status to this day as the greatest champion her Battle Nexus has ever had. However, as time passed, Lou Jitsu refused to engage in her fights and Big Mama held him in a cell within the Battle Nexus, unable to prompt him to continue and refusing to kill or otherwise discard him despite his defiance.
Over time, she began to struggle in finding candidates for the gladiatorial arena of the Battle Nexus thus affecting her entertainment efforts. However, events took a turn when she found out the rise of new Mutants that were the result of being bitten by Oozequistoes that were made by Draxum. Big Mama believed she could use these Mutants as contestants in the Nexus where she sought to capture both them along with the Oozequistoes so that she could make more of their kind.
