| ~ Tako |
Tako (タコ), also known as Mr. Parodius, is the main character in the original Parodius and Parodius Da! His relatives, Takosuke and Takohiko went on to star in the later games of the Parodius series.
Background
Tako was once a nameless Octopus on earth, a wannabe comedy artist who had unfavorable experiences on the set of the movies Octopus-Sea, where he was rejected for failing to obtain a License to Chill, and later Monsters, Ink, where his career was quickly ended due to firing ink at his critics.
He chose to travel the universe to find his place, and become a real entertainer.
He became the "Dreams n' Hopes Programmer", giving the dreams to the people of the stars who argued there is neither dream or hope, and even those that forgot their dreams.
At a later date, he heard that the people of the Earth, where he had once spent his career, were losing their dreams.
He became sworn enemies with the cause: Bug.
Bug devoured and corroded the dreams and hopes that Tako programmed and gave to the people. His appearance was always sudden, often whilst Tako was on his break.
After failing several times to catch him, Tako enlisted the help of the retired anthromorphized Vic Viper, the artic adventurer Penta, the master thief Goemon, and the legendary hero Popolon.
