Stinkoman

stinkoman (also spelled Stinko Man) is Strong Bad's 20X6 counterpart. He is an amalgam of anime clichés. This includes having blue hair; big eyes; a blocky sort of body; a mouth that is very small when closed, very large when open, and out of sync with his speech (a parody of poor dubbing). He also has a tongue that is sometimes green, and an obsession with challenges and fighting. He was introduced on January 6, 2003 in the Strong Bad Email Japanese cartoon, which makes his birthday fall exactly one week before Trogdor's. Even before the introduction of the Stinkoman character, his name was mentioned in island when Homestar Runner calls Strong Bad "Stinkoman". Stinkoman also stars in the game Stinkoman 20XX6, which The Brothers Chaps introduced in the NYU Talk and later released on homestarrunner.com.

Stinkoman's theme song, which accompanied most of his early appearances and featured pseudo-Japanese lyrics (actually the words "Challenge" and "Fighting" repeated as if spoken by a Japanese person), was actually a background tune from the NES racing game Rad Racer. The composer, Nobuo Uematsu, would later be famous for the soundtracks of the Final Fantasy games and the main theme of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
