This is Aku
He is the villain in Samurai Jack

Aku is the main antagonist of the series Samurai Jack . Born from a cosmic the black mass of darkness, Aku is an evil, shapeshifting demon that has taken over the world and has ruled it for countless eons. Throughout the series, he was voiced by the late Mako Iwamatsu in the original series, but was replaced by Greg Baldwin in Season 5 , following Mako's death in 2006.
Though he is capable of shifting form into virtually anything he wishes, his standard form is roughly a humanoid being with a black body, a green mouth, and a red beard extending from the bottom of his chin. He also tends to have six horns, four long and two short, extending from his head, and eyebrows made of red, flickering flame. In his standard form, he also tends not to have legs, with his body simply ending at the bottom with robe-like darkness that sometimes manifests as flames, and he also tends to be several stories tall. A deep droning noise is often heard around him when he appears.
Aku constantly antagonizes Jack , often attacking him when he is weak, and other times defending himself from Jack's own gambits. The two seem doomed never to defeat each other, for though Jack has beaten him on numerous occasions, Aku merely transforms into a creature and escapes, usually calling out a taunt over his shoulder, a fact that he is entirely aware of and even lampshades in "Episode XLVIII: Jack versus Aku ". Aku could be considered the deuteragonist of the series as a whole (albeit a rare, villanious one), as while Ashi becomes this in Season 5, Aku has the most focus in the narrative besides Jack.
While he's usually presented as a serious and threatening foe, Aku is also a source of comedy in the show, due to his outrageous design and sometimes wise-guy behavior, supported by Mako's over the top voice-acting.
Aku means "Evil" in Japanese. It is written as "悪" in Kanji. The kanji can also be pronounced as "Waru".

He will take as a villain in the Network League to fend off Hendrix's Team
