He was originally known
as "Abobo" from the Double Dragon series (the large dude who smashes through the wall
on the first level)! He had a number of
variations and colors, but was basically the same sprite throughout the
game. In the 1995 Double Dragon fighting game, he works for Koga
Shuko, the mastermind behind most of the violence in Bloody Town. At seven
feet tall, sometimes Abobo's size and sheer strength is enough to deter his
opponents, although his victories are constantly stolen by another gang
member, Burnov, who gets along very poorly with
Abobo.
He is known as Abubo in Rage of the Dragons, and is the final boss
of the game. Abubo even has some of his old moves from Double Dragon (his upward
fist smash being one of them). He also appeared in the game "Battletoads and Double
Dragon" and appeared in the Double Dragon movie.
