Description
Noshishi serves as a deuteragonist throughout the Kaiketsu Zorori franchise, one of the twin boar apprentices alongside his brother Ishishi under their mentor, the fox protagonist Zorori. He is consistently identified as the younger of the twin brothers.
Physically, Noshishi appears nearly identical to Ishishi as a brown-furred anthropomorphic boar wearing green shorts and an orange vest. His sole distinguishing feature is a mole located on his right cheek, which Ishishi lacks. Both twins occasionally accessorize with green scarves and carry blue umbrellas slung over their backs.
In personality, Noshishi shares core traits with his brother: both exhibit mischievous tendencies, possess a strong fondness for sweet foods, and demonstrate unwavering loyalty to Zorori, accompanying him on all journeys. While largely similar, nuanced differences emerge through vocal pitch and specific talents. Noshishi displays aptitude in drawing, notably showcased when he accurately reproduces the likeness of a genie from memory. The twins are also characterized by their comedic flatulence issues.
Background details regarding Noshishi are limited. A significant piece of backstory appears in the 1993 film *Kaiketsu Zorori*, where Noshishi mentions that the twins took an oath not to return to their home village until they became "real villains". Their first narrative appearance occurs in *Kaiketsu Zorori - The Dragon Slayer*, found in Levanna Kingdom's alleyways fighting over oden at a food stall.
Noshishi's narrative function revolves around his inseparable partnership with Ishishi as Zorori's supportive companions. They participate in Zorori's schemes, share in comedic mishaps, and contribute to resolving episodic challenges. Specific episodes, such as Season 1 Episode 18 of *Motto! Majime ni Fumajime Kaiketsu Zorori* titled "Ishishi and Noshishi in Big Trouble!", place the twins in central perilous situations requiring collective problem-solving. Their relationship with Zorori evolves into a familial bond, with both boars addressing him as "Master" while accompanying him on global adventures.
Character development across the franchise maintains Noshishi's core traits of loyalty, gluttony, and mischief. His fundamental role as the younger twin with artistic skill and the identifying mole remains consistent.
