NORIMARO

Norimaro is in the center space in the Japanese and in the Saturn version; it is replaced by an unselectable logo in the American Playstation version. He portrays a nerdish, cowardly schoolboy-type guy armed with a camera; who throws common school items, mini-Akuma dolls, and plushies as fireballs; and would attempt to ask for his opponent's autograph mid-battle (can be seen when the player presses the START button during a match).

But despite this comic relief facade, he is a pretty decent character to play with, and has some of the most powerful moves in the game. Based on Noritake Kinashi, Japanese comedian.
