 ==Origin==
+No origin is provided for Pepsiman.  However, he is well-known for his brave escapades involving risking life and limb to provide people with Pepsi.
-Pepsiman was created as a result of scientist Satoru Shujinko accepting the power of the Holy Pepsi into his heart. After awaking from his transformation, Satoru, now Pepsiman, returns to the Pepsi headquarters of Japan at which he works. On his way into the building, he hears a cry from a distressed citizen, made thirsty by the slowly expanding sun. He then saves the citizen, as well as the planet, and assumes his rightful place as Pepsiman.

-Pepsiman's former identity, Satoru Shujinko, is not well explained in the initial manga, though supplementary materials released by Pepsi and licensed distributors have expanded his background. It is not known where or when Satoru was born, though it is known that his father was an American, and he was born on a Tuesday. Pepsiman himself, however, has a much more detailed history.

-Pepsiman is shown through the manga to be a very brooding hero, he often debates whether he has made the right choice in becoming the man he is. During his battle against the Eternal Moon, Pepsiman is forced to reflect on his enthusiasm to become, essentially, a corporate slave and walking advertisement. Pepsiman soon overcomes this conflict, however, when he remembers the joy people experience upon being supplied with soft drinks, and chooses to continue his life as Pepsiman.
