Taizo Hori
Character biography
Digging for the first time
Taizo Hori's first adventure was in the Namco video game, Dig Dug. His main objective was to reach the very bottom of the Earth to destroy all evil Pookas and Fygars, and claim peace to the land above. Taizo was always interested in the ground anyways, and always wondered what lived beneath it.
Returning to action
Taizo comes back to the screen in Dig Dug 2. His objective is very much similar, however, he only stays above ground. Taizo promises to defend the above world from ever being invaded again by the Pookas and Fygars.
Dig Dug Arrangement
In Dig Dug Arrangement, Taizo faces many new enemies. He faces huger versions of the Fygars and Pookas.
