Houou Soldier is a legendary competitor in The Toku Amazing Race.

Background
Houou Soldier joined the race, originally having Raptor as his partner. However, Anti-Kuroninja didn’t allow it because Raptor’s part of the RMS, who Anti-Kuroninja doesn’t like (even though Kuroninja’s part of the RMS too). So he ended up with Hammy instead.

Behind the scenes
Houou Soldier was put with Hammy because Kuroninja wanted to put Hammy in the race without promoting any ships. Nobody ships Houou Soldier with anyone.

If Houou Soldier wasn’t partnered with Hammy, he would‘ve lost right away.
