Runmal

Perhaps known primarily for his work on the NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy, Runmal has since renounced Japan, claiming "[it] has become far too Japanese." After becoming fluent in English and undergoing brain surgery to forget the japanese language, Runmal immersed himself in the Fists of Fire tournament scene.

Runmal, having a long-standing love of the color purple, plays Thorsten's purple outfit almost exclusively.

Renouncement of Japan and Christianity
Upon finishing his work on the Ninja Gaiden trilogy, Runmal began to grapple with his ideas of Christianity and Japan. He suffered from deep depression for many years before finally having a press conference where he renounced both Christianity and Japan by stepping on a picture of Jesus eating sushi.
