Created by Japanese comedian Noritake Kinashi, he is a representation of a weak and nerdy schoolboy. Both Norimaro's assist and his hyper combo have him utilizing standard school items, like school supplies. He was viewed as a form of comic relief at the time, but he is also known for having some of the strongest moves in the game. As the referential character would be lost on those who were not a part of Japanese culture at the time, he was not put into any other versions of the game, and never made his way into a sequel.
