Koitsu (こいつ), Aitsu (あいつ), Soitsu (そいつ) and Doitsu (どいつ) are recurring playable characters in the Parodius series. They resemble little stick men flying on paper airplanes.
History[]
Their names are commonly used in Japanese slang terms to refer to people one doesn't know:
- Koitsu = this guy
- Aitsu = that guy (far from both chatters)
- Soitsu = that guy (far from the speaker but near to the listener)
- Doitsu = who?
