Overview
The protagonist of Namco (Company)'s 1985 arcade game Baraduke (Franchise), she was the first truly empowered female video game protagonist who did not have a sexualized design. Her gender was not revealed until the surpriseending, where it reveals her name as "Kissy" with a portrait of her female apperance. This was a year before Metroid (Game) repeated the same idea with Samus Aran (Character) in 1986, though Kissy would never attain the same fame as Samus. She was later renamed Toby Masuyo and given a place in Namco's arcade lore. In this canon, she married Dig-Dug, and the star of Mr. Driller is their son. Her last appearances were in two 2005 titles: as an heroine in Namco X Capcom, and as Dig-Dug's rather possessive wife in Dig Dug: Digging Strike.
